@MN5 Love Soundgarden but you know the studio version of any of his songs makes his voice sound that 5% better and better to listen to. Obviously hard to get those high notes live.
My issue ( very minor ) with Chris Cornell was selling out a bit towards the end of his career. His version of “Patience” which is a song I always hated despite loving Gunners was a case in point.
Then again I suppose the shouts, shrieky stuff just isn’t as relevant as you get older (but not happier in his case, RIP )

@MN5 I did not follow him after Soundgarden. I just liked his voice and their sound. Possible screaming those vocal and getting older became more reflective. Cue going acoustic.
Not a fan of Audioslave ? They were terrific as well I thought.
Velvet Revolver were too. Sometimes those Supergroups really work well.

Yep you are right. Forgot about them. Some really good songs. I think I had one audioslave CD. Rest were Soundgarden. Velvet Revovler had some banger songs. Always wonder why they were not popular but possibly it was the end of the grunge rock era. You would know better. One day I will tell you of my slow transition from 70's rock to appreciation of 90's stuff.

The two best eras.
Less said about the 80s the better.

random music story for today - dude I sitting next to at work was just on a video chat with his old man back in canada - who was doing some work for a KISS concert. Gene Simmonds just wandered past in full make up and jumped on the call to say hello very briefly!

Watched a multi episode documentary on Punk the other week, and thus since then i've been listening to heaps. Yes lots of classic British and NY stuff (skipped most of the hard core era), but mostly the shit that ended up getting famous by being on all the surf videos i watched as a kid (and all off one fucking little record label!), Bad Religion, NOFX, Pennywise, early and good Offspring, Rancid. Dudes who just wanted to play fast and short. The first guys to make money from punk music, and people fucking HATED them for it.

something about the way he spoke in the doco irritated me

but rich
this is actually the point. A lot of those old school "punk icon" guys held up by massive piston wristed gibbons at the time as being "just in it for the music, not selling out" were actually loaded. Not all of them for sure, most of them ended up with fuck all, but the shit heaped on those new punk bands was hugely hypocritical.

Lydon is a hypocrite about way more than the money or the sanctity of the project though.
His pacifism is arbitrary. His faux outrage is tiresome. He went on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and then tried to do his anti-establishment schlock by calling the viewers fucking fluffybunnies. Talk about a bob each way. He comes across as an odious piston wristed gibbon.
The Bollocks is a great album though.
