Shit.

One of the more passionate lead singers I've seen live. Sounded exactly the same live as he did recorded. One of his latest songs, Heavy, speaks a lot to his struggles.

They should cremate him so the worms aren't crawling in his skin later.

He tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

he took one step too close to the edge.

This band absolutely sucked in every way possible


R.I.P. though

I always had a soft spot for Linkin Park. I had no idea their debut sold like 30 mil., but I do remember being out in LA before it dropped and seeing them hyped in free weeklies and magazines. They were by far the best band in that shitty rap/nu metal general, and it's sad that 2 months after this guy's idol killed himself, he dies the exact same way. 6 kids...........

On Cornell's birthday.

I hated this band

But most girls I knew LOVED them

Cornell you could almost understand because he was in his 50s and not going to get a whole hell of a lot better

But this dude was still in his prime. An a list rockstar too. Wtf?

What an asshole. At some point it's not about yourself anymore. Life sucks? No shit. Just wait a few years, you'll get booted out eventually.

I liked a few of their songs.

It's a shame he went out like that.

He was pretty A list for his demographic, worked with Jay Z, a bunch of other hip hop up n comers, sold millions of albums and had been around for almost 20 years without becoming a punchline like Papa Roach or Fred Durst. Dude had a great voice, and LP actually knew their way around a melody. They may have not been everyone's cup of tea, I'm no superfan myself, but they were pretty legit for what they were. More proof that $ can't buy everything....
