I dont care if anyone believes me it was the craziest thing.
When my generation and I really came of age, it was around grunge.
Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden those were the three Seattle bands I was really into.
They were inescapable when I was a teenager.
I swear to God, Black Hole Sun played on MTV every four minutes.
Chris Cornells voice was unreal, and my vocal style has definitely been influenced by that.
They werent just screaming their heads off, they weresinging.
He had an incredible vocal range to be envious of.
He took risks and had successes and missteps.
