Chris Cornell @ The Wiltern (05/03/09)

chris cornell = soundgarden = audioslave = badass mother f-er. if you like someone with powerful vocals that can move and shake an entire music venue chris cornell can do it for you even the morning after.
tangent: concert going etiquette 101
1. do not try to "dance" yourself into a spot that someone is already standing in.
2. take a shower (at least apply an over the counter antiperspirant)
3. do not sing on the top of your lungs w/ the performer (i paid to hear a professional and not hear you attempt to...save it for the shower or in your car cause i don't want to hear it.)
4. rock on! have a good time but not at the expense of your fellow concert goer.
5. drink responsibly.

I'll be honest the only chris cornell song i know and heard of is black hole sun large in part because of rock band. and i can't say i was surprised about chris cornell because from every other person told me he's the best thing since the creation of man. not just to music but as a human being. yum yum.

you feel what he's singing and from the looks of it he does too. which you cannot ignore no matter how terrible your day is going. someday i'll sit down and make a list of my all time favorite live concerts (albeit this is something like that) chris cornell is on the list i don't know where he falls but he's definitely on the list. despite the greatness of his performance i'm in no rush to get his albums but i do recommend going to his concert. he made the wiltern sound good.

enjoy the music.
