I sang the chorus of “Blackhole Sun” to Sound Garden who were seated in the front row of a sold out @TacomaDome one night! #RIPChrisCornell
It was one of the more memorable moments in my career as @RealBillyGunn and I always recall the loudest reaction we ever got was that night!

– Chris Jericho spoke with Loudwire today after news of Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell’s death; you can read a few excerpts below:
“It blows my mind that four out of the five big five grunge band singers have passed away. I always liked Soundgarden the best out of all them because of the vocals. He was basically a heavy metal singer.”
“No one ever really sounded like Cornell and no matter what projects he did whether he was singing and belting it out or doing a song like ‘Like a Stone’ from Audioslave where it was more introspective, his tone and his power and range were unlike anybody else.”
“I don’t know if Cornell influenced my vocals per se, but there is some similarities there,” says the singer. “He’s one of those guys where whenever I hear him sing it’s like, ‘Oh, what a great, great singer’ — just a beautiful, powerful, kick you in the f–king face type of a voice, which is very rare because nobody’s really sang like him before. Maybe nobody ever
