they opened for NIN when i saw them. truthfully, while good, they weren't even close to renzor's band. 

I like NIN , but they're no where near close to being as good as Soundgarden or Audioslave

Got a chance to see Audioslaves first live show with Rob and Ed in Dallas. Small venue, pretty good show.

Soundgarden was one of a kind however. I had planned on going to last nights show but forgot about it. Huge bummer.

Wife's aunt and uncle went. Was talking to them about it Sunday at Mother's Day dinner.  Wish I would have went 

 

Watched a video from last night on YT.  Something wasn't right.  He timing was way off.  Talked to a guy I work with who was there last night. Said there was definitely something wrong and he wasn't the same

My favorite Audioslave song

Soundgarden was hit or miss live. Either way only Eddie is left from the seattle grunge scene

Wife told a friend to go check on him, and apparently he hung himself

my guess would be a Michael Hutchence auto erotic thing gone bad , his bud/manager what ever found him pulled his pants on before calling . why was he on the ground with a belt around his neck? would he still not be dangling? cant blame his bud for not wanting him remembered like the INEX dead masturbator.  

but then he was in Detroit who would not want to kill them self after spending a few days in that shit show

Wife is saying no on the sucide.  talked to  him hour before found and he was not depressed.  Slurring and wasted on perscribed anti- anxiety meds.

One of the side affects of the med he was on is suicidal thoughts.  Told her on the phone he took an extra one.  That's not good 

The 52 year-old Soundgarden frontman had a prescription for Ativan, the family said, and may have taken a higher dosage. Attorney Kirk Pasich noted that Ativan can cause paranoid or suicidal thoughts, slurred speech and impaired judgement.

Ativan is a tranquilizer and anti-anxiety medication that is sometimes used as a sleeping aid.

 

His death was ruled a suicide by hanging by the local medical examiner, but Cornell’s family called the mentions of suicide “disturbing.”

“When we spoke after the show, I noticed he was slurring his words; he was different,” his wife added. “When he told me he may have taken an extra Ativan or two, I contacted security and asked that they check on him.”

so what drugs? prob Clonazepam or some other hard core bennzo . if so those can have suicidal thoughts attached but from what I gather that is in the first weeks of taking and only in certain people if those thoughts do not pop up during introduction to the drug very unlikely to ever pop up . unless U suddenly stop taking them and that is deff not the case here from what the wife says .

Losing some one to suicide is tough.  Anything feels better than they took their own life.  I lost a real good friend to suicide, talked to him hours before he killed himself. I was in complete denial for weeks that he killed himself.  Just couldn't accept that we were laughing and joking, while he had  planned  to kill himself later.

yeah  Ativan is in the LORAZEPAM family benzos . so again if he had not had suicidal tendency's on it before unlikely they just came on . and if his prescriber knew he was having those thoughts and kept giving it is prob a crime .

That shit it just trippy.  We knew a friend that had a brother that struggled with depression.  One night after dinner with his family, he went out and hung himself in the woods.  Left a wife and two children   Wife said he seemed fine at dinner and went for his regular walk afterwords.  The children found him when she sent them to go get him.  Fucking tragic.  It's hard not to hate the selfishness to it all...REALLY HARD.  But you have to realize it's not all their fault.  Their shit is just wired wrong.

My girlfriends brother was on that medication..Had a beautiful wife, 3 kids..great house in a nice neighborhood,  part owner in a successful business,  300k in bank..Brought a generator into his rv and started it one day....
