I just found out that actor John Cygan died three days ago from cancer. He made numerous television appearances and was an accomplished voice actor. He was best known as Lt. Paulie Pentangeli in the ABC television series The Commish and as the voice of Solidus in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and MGS2: Substance .

I don't normally comment on celebrity deaths, but s**t. It feels like just yesterday I was buying the Temple of the Dog CD (Chris and Eddie's tribute to Andrew Wood). It came out over 25 years ago
If it wasn't so hot in Atlanta, I'd break out some flannel to wear.

:( Wow that sucks
I saw Soundgarden opening up for Danzig in 1990. I was in the very front row cuz we got there early. Soon as they came on everyone rushed the stage and I was squished up against some barriers the whole time, but it was still awesome. It was a year or so before the whole grunge thing happened so no one really knew em back then, and there weren't any dumb labels yet.. it was all just metal.

Sounds like a killer show! 
I saw Soundgarden and NIN in Vegas in 2014. I actually went for NIN but enjoyed Soundgarden's set more.

Soundgarden was the only band from that genre of music that I actually liked.
When he went on to do Audioslave, only cemented my opinion.
I'll miss his music, but it's another nail in the coffin of grunge, and I hope they bury that genre forever.
(I was in my mid 20s in the 90s. Not a mopey teen, grunge did nothing for me. The only good part about the 90s was that Nirvana died first).

Aw man, this sucks. Chris Cornell sang one of the best James Bond songs ever. I'm not real familiar with his other work. Very sad to hear he killed himself for sure. Condolences to his family and friends.

You are perhaps the first and only person I have ever heard say something positive about that band. I grew up with RATM, and when Zach left, taking the name, I felt that Audioslave was a very poor substitute for all parties.

Saw Soundgarden in 1996/1997 at the Aragon and at Lollapalooza in Pecatonica outside of Rockford, IL. Great performances. RIP Chris- you were such an important part of my high school days, especially my wardrobe from Sam Goody, Musicland and Spencers...

I think that Tom Morello is probably the best thing to happen to the guitar since Hendrix but even with his godly talent it's missing the critical mass that Zach provided and you just can't recreate the volatile intensity that RATM had. Not dissing any of Cornell's work as he had a great voice but Audioslave just didn't have that fire and energy so it always fell flat for me.

Audioslave was the best thing he ever did in my opinion. Of course, I didn't enter into it expecting RATM so that helped I'm sure. Being white and growing up rich I never cared much for their message. Liked the intensity but they always seemed to have a chip on their shoulder.

I loved Audioslave too, more than Soundgarden. I feel like I just saw Soundgarden with NIN but it must have been a few years ago.
I am 100% sure Chris died while masturbating. That same asphyxiation thing that killed David Carradine.
