You ever see Chris Cornell do it?
I didn't know Sinead died. :(

It is a jam and I think I fell in love with the song and her voice the first time I heard it. So strong and powerful.
She died last week.
Had a listen to the guy doing a cover of it and I don't care for it.

I can't believe I didn't hear about it. I'm not up on celeb culture, but usually deaths make my radar. Shame.

"the guy"????
That's rock and roll legend Chris Cornell! Lead of Soundgarden and Audioslave, co-lead of Temple of the Dog with Eddie Vedder before that, and the first American band to play in Cuba since 1979 while in Audioslave.
He died too. :(
2017 was a sad year. Lost both Chris and Tom Petty.
Chris had a phenomenal voice, especially in his youth.
And Chris sharing singing duty with Eddie Vedder on Hunger Strike before Pearl Jam.

Her death was on the regular news as she was a major star.
Jack, you forget that I am older than you. I have never heard of Audioslave or Sound Garden or Temple of the Dog.
It was bad when I heard about Tom Petty dying. I liked him.
The only group I know about is Pearl Jam outside of Tom Petty.
ETA: Ah, SIX this stuff from Temple of the Dog is pretty depressing. And so that is a no from me.

Yeah. I don't watch any news. I don't even have digital antenna TV lol. I just heard that Paul Reubens died, so I'm surprised I didn't know about her passing too.

You're not THAT much older than me.
Sound Garden was high school for me. Audioslave was a band he started sometime in my early 20's. Temple of the Dog was when I was in Jr. High. I just went through high school thinking that "Say Hello 2 Heaven" was Soundgarden and "Hunger Strike" was Pearl Jam, honestly. It wasn't until the wife of some guy I was working for in my mid-20s turned me on to some music and let me borrow some CDs that I found out Temple of the Dog was even a thing.

Yeah. I never saw anybody in concert more than Tom and the Hearbreakers.

It looks like Soundgarden was already a thing in Seattle before Chris did the side gig with Eddie Vedder and Temple of the Dog. Hunger Strike was the first time Eddie recorded a song, and it was right when he was meeting the guys he was going to start Pearl Jam with.

Yeah... Say Hello 2 Heaven was a song Chris wrote for his friend who died.
Hunger Strike isn't depressing though. Chris said this about it:
"I was wanting to express the gratitude for my life but also disdain for people where that's not enough, where they want more. There's no way to really have a whole lot more than you need usually without taking from somebody else that can't really afford to give it to you. It's sort of about taking advantage of a person or people who really don't have anything."
and..
"Hunger Strike' is a statement that I'm staying true to what I'm doing regardless of what comes of it, but I will never change what I'm doing for the purposes of success or money."

Do you listen to the radio. I am sure her death would have been broadcast on there too.
Well, musically speaking almost 20 years does make a difference. When I was in High School it was people like Bryan Adams, Cher, Huey Lewis and the News, Elton John, Doug and the Slugs, Queen.
Into my 20s it was a little Paul McCartney and George Harrison. And still the bands I just named.
Saw Tom Petty and heard him on the radio and what music videos I saw.
Reading what the song writer said about "Hunger Strike" I can appreciate why he wrote it. Doesn't mean that I like the music any more. And he's not the first musician to write about that stuff.

Just got turned on to something I forgot even existed tonight...
Our local station Q101 is "Alternative Rock". It was HUGE back when I was in high school and was where Mancow got his start with his morning show before he got in politics and disappeared?
I think it shut down at some point, but came back a few years ago.
They used to this "Live at the Lounge" thing back in the day and I guess they still do it now. So while I was working tonight they did like 2 hours straight of Live at the Lounge sessions and they're really damn good.
I never heard of a band called Mondo Cozmo before, or their song Higher, but this was a jam. I actually don't care for the studio (CD) version of the song all that much, but this live performance was great!

Heard another really good one recently.
I was surprised to hear that it was a "new" song by Linkin Park. I swore I heard the lead singer died (by suicide) a while ago and that was right. Supposedly this song was rumored for a while though and they finally released it.
I always thought the guy had an amazing voice, but I hate that "screaming" rock that he always ruined his songs with, and they lyrics were just always depressing or whiny. But not this one...
This is kind of the song I'd always wished he'd sing.
I thought it was a song about actual war, but its about personal relationships, burning bridges and trying to un-burn them. Or probably more accurately, wishful thinking that they could ever be un-burned... Dude was going through a lot of shit.

I've recently revisited a game called The Last Faith. It's still in development, but it got an update after I'd played it before and it's practically a finished game at this point, although there's still a few more features they're trying to implement and bug testing is still going on.
The soundtrack is phenomenal all around, particularly for what I assume is a crowd-funded independent game. Not only do they all convey a particular mood for the scenes that they're used, but there is just so many songs.
This one in particular stuck with me though.
I only wish the Official Soundtrack they had played an extended cut and didn't point out where they seamlessly blend in the loop so you don't know it's looping while you're playing. Unfortunately, they just abruptly cut it off after 3 or so minutes and that's a jarring way to be removed from the song when that's not an experience you ever have while playing the game. They should have at least faded out at the end there for that video.
