Due to irresolvable personality conflicts as well as musical differences, I am permanently leaving the band Audioslave. I wish the other three members nothing but the best in all of their future endeavours.

I got in touch with the creative process between the age of 14 and 16, mainly because I was alone so much.
Chris Cornell

'The Beatles' did whatever they wanted. They were a collection of influences adapted to songs they wanted to write. George Harrison was instrumental in bringing in Indian music. Paul McCartney was a huge Little Richard fan. John Lennon was into minimalist aggressive rock.
Chris Cornell
Image
I actually think to some degree that people are down for longer shows with an acoustic show.
Chris Cornell
Image
I've had a long career and I want to continue to have a long career. The way to do that is not to go away.
Chris Cornell
Image
And if you don't believe the sun will rise, stand alone and greet the coming night in the last remaining light.
Chris Cornell

Most frontmen are not born hams like David Lee Roth. We're more like Joey Ramone: awkward geeks who somehow find our place in the world on the stage.

My brother brought home 'At San Quentin' when I was about 7, and we played it over and over again.

If I'm going to go out to be a solo artist, it's because I want to do something different without having to wait on someone else's schedule or hobbies or be limited by other people's prejudices. I'd be kind of stupid not to exercise that.

Maybe sincerity is the new punk. But to me, I think I have to connect with something emotionally, on some level, or I don't care about it. And if I don't care about it, then I don't think anyone listening to it will, either.

In the United States, workouts tend to focus on body image and how you look. For me, it's really all about the brain.
Chris Cornell
Image
An acoustic show is all about you, and any little nuance or mistake is amplified.
Chris Cornell
Image
There wasn't a key moment when I knew I wanted to quit.
Chris Cornell
Image
She gives the night its dreams.
Chris Cornell
Image
I had to teach myself to let go of the conventional rock way of playing guitar and singing. Some things you wouldn't expect to work, did and some things won't ever work.
Chris Cornell
Image
I don't really go to clubs so I don't know what sounds are made there.
Chris Cornell
Image
I feel like you're not a real musician or entertainer if you can't go into a room, pick up an instrument and entertain people.
Chris Cornell

Led Zeppelin is just a bunch of stupid idiots who wrote cool riffs.
Chris Cornell

They always say that the entertainment and restaurant industries are the only businesses that don't sink during a depression or a recession. I've done both, and I recommend to anyone who wants to be a rock star, if that doesn't pan out, become a cook.

There's something about losing friends, particularly young people, where it's not something that you get over. I don't believe there's a healing process.

Sometimes, if a song is written, in essence, to be that stripped down, it's very touchy when you start adding things, because even the smallest thing can have a huge impact. Somebody has to make the decision that there's a better song in there if there's less.
