Fact: Chris Cornell hasn't released anything worthwhile since 1996.

Agreed. Down on the Upside, I feel, is pretty over-looked, but I hold it in high esteem.

I'm glad someone else thinks so...honestly if Soundgarden had continued I think that album was hinting at some very melodic softer stuff, but with their signature dark edge. I would have listened to it.

Yeah, I really dig some of the effects they were getting into with the vocals. And songs like "Zero Chance", "Tighter and Tighter", "Applebite" and "Boot Camp" are some of their best ever, and yet, if you weren't familiar with the album, you probably wouldn't have even heard them.

i never considered the guys from Soundgarden to be drug addicts, at least not in the same league as the junkies of the day. as for Down on the Upside, it's ok, but really it was going through the motions and a bit of a rehash of Superunkown. Applebite, Overfloater, and Never the Machine Forever are ace though, especially NtMF.

who are your favorite artists with drug problems?

what do you think it is about the creative mind that links so intrinsically to addiction?

Prolly Pete Doherty atm. I mean, he's a wreck, but he's a great artist. And lets face it, some of the best songs in history where written by pple who where on drugs. If you've ever been on a trip, you'll know how it gives you... ideas (not encouraging anyone to do drugs here, just an opinion!)
