I'll talk about this video, and really is amazing!, I love the atmosphera in that, the continuity, fluency and the various interpretations, is from the bottom of my soul I feel and believe that he himself art is'it to reveal!!! and shout it from the hills!, I'm chilean visual artist, is only my modest opinion. I'm sorry for my english, but I'm learning the language little by little. Hundreds of thousands of kisses for you! The silence is not golden, but your voice is golden, platinum,silver, ...........is a diamond! bye
Too many fair weather fans. It's been obvious for years that CC is more than just a beautiful face. Lighten up people! He hasn't mislaid his talent. I'm an artist (not music), and from that point of view he seems to be doing exactly what a true artist does. His talent is amazing and he's prolific. He challenges himself creatively, and thank God for it. If one can't dive into change how boring life would be. I love the album. He's got the absolute sexiest voice (always), and dancing is big for me, it's great for that too!
1st listen : What the ..... !!! 2nd listen : This is really catchy and brilliantly produced ! 3rd listen : I can't stop listening to this, it's brilliant !!! Personally, seeing Chris and his band play the Enmore Theatre in Sydney in 2008 is the best gig I've seen since Living Color in Adelaide 1993. A true artist who has demonstrated some of the scope and range of his emense talent.
Chris i think you did an amazing job with Timberland. You've always been a risk taker but this time i can proudly say that it is about time that someone showed some balls in this industry. And you've shown that you have the cohones, mi amigo. I hope you're not let down at all by the negative that's been passed around here. I own the album and i'm currently letting my friends and fam give it a listen so they can get a copy too. Best of luck man and keep it up.
This letter isn't to bring you down, but I just want you to know I also followed you since as far back as I can remember.. but unlike that peckerwood down below, I love this style. The connection is recreated and sustained. Shivers and Smiles. This bud is for you. for us. for everyone who smiles, who frowns, who swims who drowns.

Excelent disc. You can do whatever you want. All your work has been excellent. Please come back soon to Chile.
Chris Cornell is the only rock artist to travel into new worlds so masterfully, and he is an icon to the world of staying cool in a world of crazyness. "Scream" is a full-on beautiful effort to bring music to a new level, not conforming to what any hater might call "Chris's style". Since when do rock artists have to stick with the norm? Since when have rock stars ever stuck to the norm? Good work Chris! you are an inspiration! My brother and I both bought this album as soon as we found it! :)
Don't listen to the haters Chris i did security for your show in AC and the new songs were awesome i went the next morning and bought your CD i haven't stopped listening. Shout out to Leroy. Bill
I just registered to say this isn't the Chris Cornell i know. Disappointed with his new experiment. We actually want Cornell to "Scream", the Cornell we adore.
Have been a fan of everything from soundgarden to audioslave but after listening to these new songs on scream Im scared. I bought two tickets for the house of blues cleveland show expecting to hear soundgarden audioslave some solo stuff but not this scream stuff.the show is april 13 th and Im driving from columbus ohio to house of blues to hear the music i dig from my college years. the tickets babysitting and trip will run me about 225 dollars and I dont want to be dissapointed so Im begging chris to play a setlist consisting of mostly classics. please please please.if you have to play stuff from the new album could you at least play an extra long set or just limit the amount to something tolerable for a old fan that has only seen you in concert one time on the audioslave tour in 2003 in the lawn.Im begging you!I don't mean to be disrespectful I just have been looking forward to seeing soundgarden since the late 90's when the band disbanded. thanks chris
Bought it a week ago. Hated the first song so much that I considered chucking the disc out the window. What a difference a week makes. I've been lucky enough to have been driving long distances and have had a chance to let this music sink in over repeated listens. This is an astonishingly good record - IT JUST TAKES TIME - like every album that has lasting value. It has so many musical and vocal layers, and is so different from the stuff I was expecting. Just listen to "Time", "Ground Zero", "Take Me Alive", "Scream", or ESPECIALLY "Never Far Away" four or five times over the course of a few days. Could not care less what the idiots here think about Timbaland (or Timberlake, for that matter). They have talent, and it's 2009 - after 25 years of loving heavy rock I am done with it, it's endless inferior retreads of the stuff that Zeppelin were done with by 1979. Cornell, if you are reading this, I think that this is the bravest musical statement I have EVER heard. I am astonished at what you have achieved here. Still don't care for the first song, though.
I actually registered to this site because I have to say something. I don't usually post in forums but I have to make an exception this time. I hope that Chris actually reads these or someone will tell him the truth. This is not a realm of music Chris should bother with. This is terrible, aweful noise and not real music. He should be more true to his roots and stick to more music along the lines of Soundgarden and Audioslave. I understand trying new things but this is terrible man. I hope somehow he gets these messages. I am a huge fan of his and I will remain one but I cannot support this aweful music. This is absolutely terrible. There are plenty of people making this terrible noise pollution. Can back to real music man.... This is not it... You're better than this cheap crap. Come back to us in real music man....
Please, Chris. Are you here? Your heart is in this songs? Your voice is good to rock or blues. In my opinion this songs are very poors to you. Do you remeber: "I Am The Highway!? Like a Stone? Audioslave?. Sorry. I don´t like this album. Kiss
Love the music Chris....I have been a fan of yours since BadMotorFinger. Rusty Cage is one of my favorite songs ever. The lyrics to 'Hands All Over" are spome of the best. I understand those were the SoundGarden days...also a fan of AudioSlave....I can't wait to check out the show tomorrow. My Birthday is Easter Sunday (12th) How about a shout out to BUBBA! or maybe a stage dive to Rusty Cage
i was always a fan of you.. when i was in highschool i was badly on drugs, the only thing kept me focused to life was my 10 bucks cd player player full with soundgarden cd s.. your songs and lyrics saved my life in a way chris. your songs gave me the power to get over all that shit and stress.. i cant actually believe my eyes.. as trent reznor said it makes me fell uncomfortable. read this or not i dont care and im sure you wont. go do your sucking hip hop thing or whatever. man i cried while watching your scream video. i hope other legends like you will not make the same mistake you did... whats next?? eddie vedder feat. 50 cent ?? sorry but you can go to hell chris..
Gosto muito de todos os trabalhos do chris... mas...esse disco novo me decepcionou. EU GOSTAVA MAIS QUANDO ELE TINHA PERSONALIDADE!
I really, REALLY, love this song. I went to see you yesterday @ Santiago, Chile, and you were awesome, I can't describe it, i loved it so much and didn't want it to end! The sound was amazing and you sang sooo perfect, you totally rock!!!. You're incredible, i like your new sound, nevermind the others who say that it's not good, because it is, or at last for me and like you, i don't care what they say but don't forget the guitars! hehe :P I hope to see you again! Go on, Chris, you're one of the best!! Alexandra.
I really like. Please take it out of my mind!. These days i go everywhere singing it in my mind.

DOUG BROWN
I love you Chris, as a music genius of corse, and I'm buying the record anyway....I was waiting something more like Euphoria Morning, but I'll have to wait. I think that the songs are different to we are use to, but only that.
Chris meu filho, pq disso? Vc é o cara!! Não tinha necessidade de Timbaland (Timbatrash). Sou seu fã número 1, adoro seus outros álbuns solo, o Audioslave é maravilhoso e o Soundgardem tb mas este último CD foi péssimo. Definitivamente volte ao que era. Vc é capaz! You are the best! Listen your fans! Don't leave them behind! See ya.
Like the lyrics and I like the song. But I think it’s like an emotional text in an easy listening cocoon.
- the 2nd post is either the funniest or scariest thing i've ever read - scream and long gone are great songs and are the most immediately gratifying, but there are other good ones as well. - i think this is like totd or euphoria morning, in that it is such a departure from what you have come to expect from cornell, that you are kind of blindsided by it. it wasn't until a couple of years after their releases did i really come to appreciate each of them, not because they weren't immediately good, but that i wasn't immediately ready. - not really digging timbaland's "lyrical/singing" input. the production is very cool with my favorite pieces being the ones that have a more natural sounding drum sample (or even perhaps real kit), and a bit of guitar in them. - as far as an artistic statement is concerned, chris has had one for every album he's done, that makes each of them stand out is their own, unique way. just look at the departures from album to album during the soundgarden years, louder than love to down on the upside; this album is no different. it will be interesting to see how this album lends, or for lack of a better word, ranks itself to said artistical statements, as it unfolds over the course of the next days/months/years. - i have decided the 2nd post is definitely very, very scary.
Wow! Even if I had not heard one dotted half note from Mr. Cornell. Even if I did not know he could modulate with the best of them. And even if his songs did not posses a single cadence (whether harmonic or plagal). Even if his voice did not sound like a over zealous inhale of an un-filtered camel cigarette chased with a shot of Baileys...just from the physical, I would long to lock myself in a room with him for three days and do things that the X files first X rated blu-ray DVD release, in all good conscience could not air...but back to the music! I am so vibe-ing on his literal march to a different drummer and my inner being tells me, and his track record shows he wants to be unique. To allow our minds to expand. To really break past the confounds of a system bent on profit instead of elevation... My wish is that when it came to the visual, the music videos, the stage show maybe even his attire it would also reflect that truth, that reality. Chris you could sell sex in a 1985 Sears baby powder blue preacher's suit two sizes too small, or in a paper bag with your head covered up you got it like that. But there has got to be a way to market your videos without the same dancing girls, the same model guys at the bar drinking too much figuring out how they are going to get the pussy, and when they get it they are either too rough for the girl's enjoyment, too stoned to get it up..or they talk themselves out of it all together...(now this is what they tell me would NOT be talking from no kind of experience LOL) I see you breaking ground in the video realm you have such adrogynous appeal you could really be on the cutting edge but still preserve your integrity as an all american straight pussy getting male...but tease us with a different reality...even if it ain't so and open yourself up to an even greater market. I mean what is really true and real anyway when something dies? And we all know the Music industry as we all knew it has died... My hat goes off and my heart goes out to anyone who has found a way to be as successful as you in any spectrum when there is a sea of so many who will never...so please keep blessing us with what the universe has sent you to do... I mean a girl like me has to have a "baby daddy" right...even if he is only in video... But if you read this take a look(now I know you would NEVER tell a soul even GOD that you did but maybe glance at "Madonna's "Bedtime Stories" video just from a revolutionary stand point...the cinematography and breaking ground element the epic-ness of it all. Well at the end of the day the vision is yours to illustrate but make sure it is yours not just what will sell... Love, Britney P.s. When will you be in Dallas so you can take me out? Chris there is a little piano bar that is really discrete...and we can discuss our first single together I sh'ant tell a soul... xoxox
Chris you have a fantastic voice. You can do anything you want to. Scream is not youre best but Im confident youll come back with something else. Go it alone this time, OK? You dont need any help, especially Timbaland. Why on earth did you pick him? 2 different styles. Isnt there anybody else you could have teamed with? I dont know---maybe Eddie Vedder? Now that would have been a great album! Think about it for next time-please....
Congratulations, Chris!! I love your work. This album, beeing so different, makes a stand in your carreer, you've been so brave to do such a different sound and so talented to give this kind of music your seal. I love the energy of this album, it's great and makes me feel alive. Keep making good music for us. I love you!
i luv the album and i got it and it is soooooooooooo cooollll!!!!!!
i luv the album and i got it and it is soooooooooooo cooollll!!!!!!
This music makes me want to scream, THAT IT SUCKS! My favorite musician, vocalist, icon lets a Back Street Boy produce his album! I know he is a chart fart but come on buddy! Get back your SOUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An artist is an artist is an artist....Chris can do whatever he wants & he know's it. The music will grow on the truest admirers, as always, & maybe even turn some hip-hoppers on to the good old stuff. Art, including the musical sort, is about experimenting, maturing & evolving. That's what this is about. If you don't like it...don't listen. If you do like it...good.
Album sounds great, you're the wake of the flood. Keep changing. Remember back when Dylan first plugged into an amplifier, he was booed by a large number of his audience that actually left during his shows. They later came back in larger numbers. Scary how some people are afraid of anything new, great and different. People are still so slow with change-yikes. Enjoying the ride, keep it going!
So happy to have been given a copy of this album! It's artistically beautiful and interesting. This is NOT Soundgarden-Chris; this is mature, I'm-gonna-take-a-risk Chris. But the intensity is still there. Thanks for this unique album. Can't wait to see CC on 4/8 in NYC!
This CD is better than Carry On! And I, too, get to see him with my best friend in the world at the best club in the world 9:30- Washington DC 4/5/2009!!!! Cannot wait! Only question is this- after just hearing the entire thing online- how do I get my free CD for buying the tics!!! I want it now!!! ANd I have to know all the words before the show!!!!!!
when i first heard this song it was a rude awaking for me / i scream all the time / well not so much now / this song is a wake up call for a lot of people i just hope that they realy hear the words and take it to heart
Bold. Fierce. It’s about evolution and growth as an artist and musician. Chris, don’t listen to the dodos stuck in 1992. It’s their loss and my gain. This is amazing and fearless work. I wish other musicians were as courageous. How long has AC/DC been making the same effing album? Please. You haters need to go home to your mom’s basement and keep practicing your little 3 chord pseudo rock songs. I hear Poison can really rock the house at your crappy gigs.
Great song mate. Fuck rock, pop, funk, Jazz...It's all about the music an the beaty of it. Grz, Ron
Scream is the best! I can hear you sing a country song if I had to, your voice just sooths me now matter if it is a ballad or you're screaming at the top of your lungs. I love the music and your voice and if you keep singing like that you are only going to get better; no matter what type of music you sing to...Love it!
Chris, man, you have so much more going on than this. You can make so many GREAT things happen... New album is not bad. I mean, I am still in denial, but I do realize that it is just another type of music, from which you cannot expect what you expect from Rock. I have followed you from Chile since early Soundgarden. Cried when you guys split, absolutely LOVED and still love Euphoria Morning and assisted - when everyone said you were finished, you couldn't sing, etc... to the GREATEST CONCERT EVER. I'm sure you remember it man. For 3 Hours you did not stop singing really loud. You gave us your very best and man, I still get chills down my spine when I remember it. You must remember the response of the crowd. How we sang every single song you played. You gave us Soundgarden, Chris Cornell, Temple of the Dog and Audioslave. Even a little Zeppelin. I'd trade both of Pearl Jam's shows in Chile for yours. And god knows how I love PJ and how good they are live. Anyways, point is: I respect your new work, although I may not listen to it very much. And God knows I'm trying hard. I'm not that one sided retro always listen to the same type of stuff forever guy, and I really like artist evolving and experimenting. Growing as artist and as a person. I will always be a fan of you and you're damn sure I'll sell anything to be there in March, when you come to Chile. I just hope and pray to God that you bring your guitar!!! Jose.-
I have to say at first I was a little thrown. Not because I didn't like the song. It's just not at all what I expected. I think it's great your showcasing your amazing voice in different ways. I do love all the guitar solos from your Soungarden and Audioslave days, but for me it's always been your voice. So keep trying new things. Your true fans will always be there.
I'm falling in contradiction, but the music is good. Congratulations!
Hello! Its an honor to be part of ur site Chris...I'm a big fan !!! Well, about SCREAM, this song is a great deal, I like the music and all...that many people think ur old style should "come back", I personally think u should keep trying new music! U would still be the great person u r and of course u will always shine...and me...I'll ALWAYS be ur fan!!! jajaja...thank U!
Chris you are better than that, please!!! you must to see the light again, Timbaland`s music is stupid, I really hope to see your rocker side next march in Chile.
Chris,I think u're one of the best vocals ever,maybe even the best,but this new album is sooooo stupid. First: It looks like it's made for young girls age eight to twelwe to listen. Second: Those beats in the background are ridiculous,it seems U've finished this album in a week. Third: Guitars? Remember? Those things with wires? Fourth: Do you really think u're suppose to be in the same display row of some record store with pussy at dolls,TIMBALAND(Dear God,why him?),One republic and many other "artists"...I've mentioned these three 'cause I wanted to make a point...I STILL CAN NOT FORGET THE HORROR WHEN I SAW YOUR LIVE ACT AT "FASHION ROCKS" or sth like that... So...I hope U'll soon understand what you've done to your hardcore fans..."Carry on" was unbeleiveably good,so were all three Audioslave albums(best group ever)...I don't even want to mention your work with Soundgarden... Enough with this...:-) Good luck,we love you...and...please,get back to your old self!!!
This is a great song and from what of the album that i have heard its going to be a good album its one for the true fans of chris's work. it really proves that he can do anything i just wish that the song promise its not goodbye would be on the album thats one of the best songs lyrically that i have ever heard and with chris's emotion throwing voice on it its epic. i have had alot of my family die of cancer and this song really grabs me.
CHRIS!!...YOU ARE A ROCK STAR!!...we forgive you DESPITE THIS ALBUM!!!...BUT PLEASE PLUG YOUR GUITAR AGAIN!!!!
I just got tickets to the best F***ing show on the east coast- 930 Club in DC!!! And my bf is going with me!! How AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
very nice chris i got my own little message out of it . i enjoed it . i saw it after on aregument with my boyfirend i had felt that i kinda went i little over bored with it . well any ways it was grate.
Just saw the video today; bought the single online last week after hearing it on the radio. This is my favorite song and I love the video too. I like how calm his voice is in the beginning, in contrast to the woman's ranting; and I really enjoy screaming the last half of the song. I have 7 year old twins who are still in the "terrible twos" so that's how I relate to the song.
ABSOLUTE GARBAGE, ITS A ROCKER JUST TRYING TO GET HIS VOICE OVER THE SYNTHS AND DRUM MACHINE. WHAT A WASTE OF RECORDING TIME. I COULD MAKE THIS PROBS 24 HOURS, IN MY HOME STUDIO. HOPE THE A&M EXECUTIVES ARE LISTENING....WOULD NEVER BUY IT, AND I THINK ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WILL SHARE THE SAME THOUGHT.
I love this song! Some people should give Chris a break, the world would be boring if artists played it safe all the time. Im sure there was a big hoo haa when rapper Ice T made his Metal album 'Bodycount' which was good, and for all of you's old enough, Soundgarden covered one of thier tunes 'Copkiller'. As country legend Johnny Cash said ,after covering Soundgardens 'Rusty Cage' .'a good songs, a good song, no matter its genre'
I have to say that this really is the last thing I expected from Chris. I’m sure every true fan doesn’t even believe his ears listening to this. Changes are so sad sometimes. I can’t even begin to describe how bad and depressed It made me feel when I first heard this "new" Chris and I still am in denial. I hope we’ll hear the old one soon because this song is just trivial, no one will remember it in a month. And Chris is special, his talent can change a person's world forever…it certainly changed mine once upon a time.
This is huge!!!! this song is just perfect, and u did well in this video! it is great! i cant stop listening to this... and ive watched this video for like 10 times today. this is what u should be doing from now on. but never leave the rock part of yourself... im sure that for your next album (i hope there will be at least another one) u could mix both styles and it will be even better than this one! great video. ur really diggin this style, it looks great on you! your voice is amazin, specially in this song (from those ive listened of the new album) congrats!
I didn´t knew your music as a solo singer... I used to hear you when you played on Soundgarden, but a couple of month, I begun to hear a song "scream" on the radio, and I thougth mmmm...that sounds great.. awsome..,who could be the singer? whom has a powerfull and great voice... And then I heard Chris Cornell.. I said ..wow it´s incredible, that a rock singer take the risk to create lyrics and music fusion, makin´a mixes with the rock, pop, and hip hop, and its amazing that you take the challenge to work with the best urban musician such as Timbeland. Now I´m waiting for your album.. And If somebody review this comments, please tell me.. If your crew its thinking about cities like Mexico... You have fans here.. and we want to hear you on live.. and finally YOU´RE THE BEST ROCK SINGER... at least for me..
Love the song & video. I was and still am a huge Soundgarden fan with Saves and Bulldozers still being my favorite song but we all evolve and I like his style path. It has a nice rhythm too it that I think is mesmerizing. I saw him perform at Hard Rock Live in O-town last year and it was the absolute best concert that I have ever seen or heard. He played every song that I wanted to hear, band was right on and I was in the first row. I have not gone to another band's show since for I know I have scene the best and nothing will top it, (Except maybe this next tour). Did I mention he also looked Hot!
i Love it i can't get enough of this song and sound. Chris has the BEST VOICE ever. can't wait for the album drop in march i think, hopefully sooner. keep writing songs.
I have to say, this new direction of yours is going to take a little while to get used to. When I think of who Chris Cornell is, I think of my former teen years sat in my bedroom listening to Soundgarden loud, admiring his amazing voice he has, and deciphering his cryptic lyrics, getting lost in his magic summoned!! I always did like Soundgarden because they weren't really mega big, and they wrote music that they wanted to play, atleast that is the picture you get anyway! Obviously record companys have a big say in what an artist does, and lets all remember here, that alot of artists dabble in lots of things, because it is at the end of the day thier job! I have a friend who is in a band signed to emi, and she tours all the time, fairly well know band but she doesn't make hardly any money from it at all, lives in her car and doesn't eat well. It's not all glamourous being a rock star or famous at all! Let me think of some other artists, sure there are absoloutely TONS of them aren't there!!! Whilst Chris might not really be wanting to do what he really wants right now, I hold on to the hope he will continue to do something true to himself when he has stepped off of the pedestal so to speak. Go for it Chris, if I had the chance to work with someone like that, and get more recognition, I would do it. At the end of the day, if it feels right to you, it doesn't really matter about any one elses opinions, and yes you will probably get slated by the alternative critics, but we all know it's a bunch of cr"p anyway!!! So I hope you do well Chris, and don't forget who you are. x Sez
what is with the Techno hip hop music? Really, is this the direction you wanted to go? Complete crap, and I can now say I am never going to be a fan of your new music...you have now become one of those "artists" who's old stuff was way better. Thanks for selling out, you've saved me whatever this cd would cost, because this shit is horrible!
Hey :) Love the video, I kinda thought it was funny when the pillow hit you, I'm not gonna lie haha Truthfully though, I kinda miss the old Chris with the weird but beautiful guitar work. But, hey, I'm still gonna buy the CD cause you're wicked cool.
HOW CAN YOU REPEAT THE SAME LYRICS(THE CHORUS) OVER AND OVER X10 AND IT BE CONSIDERED A GOOD SONG? THESE ARE SAD TIMES WE LIVE IN
this is an awesome song, an awesome video and an awesome man with an awesome voice !!!! Chris Cornell sounds great and looks great !!! can't wait for SCREAM to be released !!!
Hello Chris, I am a big fan of yours and my boyfriend is the biggest fan in the world. We won tickets to meet and greet you in May 2007 and went to see you in Italy from Los Angeles.. My boyfriend Ernie introduced me to your music. You have an awesome voice!! It's been taking me a while to get use to the new sound..but I have to say I like a few songs. I do however prefer the old stuff! We go to every concert everytime you play in California.. but I was a little disappointed when I went to the HOB on Sunset to see you and Timbaland was on stage forever!! I understand promoting the album 30minutes tops but he was on stage for almost 2hrs horrible..that whole hip hop stuff was not what we wanted to hear or see! We went to see you! We ROCK and we know you do too! You always play for 2hrs plus and that day that was not the case.. I always love going to you concerts because I get the best of all worlds I get to listen to your songs from Audioslave, Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog and all your Chris Cornell stuff! You are awesome and you always make time for us is California! Thank GOD he blessed us with your voice! Love, Myrna U
Chris the sound different but fantastic! I can't wait to hear the rest of the album. Michael
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!!! I've been following Chris since way back in the late 80's and I loved this song the first time I heard it.....you people need to grow up and realize that things can't stay the same!!!!
The video is great......he looks good!!!!! I can't get this song out of my head!!!! When will the new cd be released??????
CAN'T WAIT...CAN'T WAIT...CAN'T WAIT...

I like new songs, but I prefer if Chris will make more songs like "no such thing", "poison eye", "cochise",...
Evolution.....the art of evolving.....recreating oneself to transform the sorroundings. Few true artists have this ability and play the same shit same sound. ie "Nickelback"....A real artist reinvents him / herself and is appreciated for their talents.
fuckin awsome song, wasn't sure at first, but nice new direction
For chris, I loved it! Ive always lved your music have been a huge fan since you started. I still continue to be. Keep up the good work. Oh by the way you looked sooo sad in your scream video. Dont be. Have a great one.

it's from the movie basquiat.
it's true.
people will get mad at you no matter what you do.
but...
artists are made to grow and change ;)
i write and care only for chris,so dont bother answering my post you dumbass.
The song is great. I love the video. It is classy and eclectic and I like the timelessness and mood of the video. I enjoy art and going to art museums anyway so I liked the subject of it. I was in a video for our local art museum. I like the message of the song too-it's something a lot of people can relate to. And the videography was great-very well done.
Man, its a different sound that is for sure. Its not rock, but it is? I'm kind of confused to be honest with you. It's good, but it aint my flavor..
If Chris does read these comments, I'm sure he's very freaked out right now.
i dreamt of you last night It felt sooo real.i wish u could talk to me but what can i do man?im only a fan,nothing more...U ARE GOD:)
Chris Cornell was like a gift dropped from the gods...his music was amazing. I understand the need to change and revolve but I personally, do not like this new direction.
This video is pointless, Chris looks like an older version of Tom Welling from Smallville. I always thought that his amazing voice was followed by handsome face but not here, not now. Chris looks worn out and this music sounds worn too.
i never wanted to hurt you chris what i wrote is not true.i know ur sensitive too.
maybe i know you more than anyone else becuz i feel exactly like you chris.i know what you were going trough and that its not easy.i love the way you are and that youre not like the rest of us.ur someone special to me and i can relate to you.thanks for your beautiful,dark music i love it so much.i listen to your beautiful voice everyday,alone in my room.and its like you know exactly how i feel and what im going trough.u make me feel that im not the only one.......thank you chris and im REALLY sorry for that shit i wrote on your yt page ill never do that again i promise.love you and happy new year sweetie:)
SORRY FOR BOTHERING YOU CHRIS ITS LIKE I SHOULD JUST STOP THIS SHIT AND GET A LIFE U KNOW.IM SUCH A DEPRESSIVE NEGATIVE CREEP AND I HAVE NO RIGHT TO TELL YOU ANYTHING.I MEAN I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MYSELF OK?DONT TAKE IT SERIOUS WHAT I WROTE CHRIS....PLEASE FORGIVE ME I LOVE YOU!
YES MR CORNELL BLOCKED ME ON YOUTUBE DONT YOU THINK HE WAS?YES I LOVE KURT BECAUSE HE WOULD NEVER DONE COMMERCIAL SHIT AND CUZ IM SO MUCH LIKE HIM.I WILL APOLOGIZE FOR CHRIS CORNELL BUT I DONT THINK HE EVEN CARES WHAT I HAVE TO SAY.IM DISSAPOINTED THAT HE BLOCKED IM SUCH A SENSITIVE ASSHOLE,RIGHT?
Chris C is what talent is - he isnt stuck in a f-ing mold, he is what creative is, and I thing scream is one of the best songs ever. Chris - keep up the jams - your singing is so f-ing on! People spoke shit about the new jams back in 90-92, with the glam to grunge scene - Cornell made that kick ass music then, and hes making it again today.
Rock on-
at first i was sceptical,but after watching numerous interviews and understanding the reasons for branching out this way thru his music is totally cool with me.
im a big fan of his old school style but that at some stage had to be reinvented somehow and taken to a new level or its just repetative and monotonous...and chris has done that.
even pearl jam have taken different paths in their music and im thoruoughly enjoying the change as with chris' new work.
i hope he does revert back later on to his euphoris morning days(not so much lyrically but musically).
keep your head "kurt" or one day you'll lose it.....good on ya chris for taking this leap of faith im sure the fans will repay you for it someday...as i will
Honestly, I do believe in freedom of speech. But there are limits to it when it comes to insulting. Why take a new record as a personal offence? - Do you really think Chris himself deleted you from that page, Kurt-Cobain-Fan? - Tastes are different, and there is none that's better than the other one, that's artistic democracy for me.
Mr Chris
Scream?
Is there anything bad about making money? Even if Chris did make this new record for commercial purposes (is that really so?), I do believe he wanted to experiment a little. And why not? - I personally prefer the hard-rocking sounds, but what I really like is his voice, and, honestly, I don't really care, after all, what music he sings to - if there is the feeling in his voice I have always loved since the Soundgarden albums. No-one can honestly expect a grunge sound in a new album nowadays, those good old days are gone, even if you don't like to think so. People, times and sounds change. - And, coming back to the video: I like it.
I think most of you people went way of topic and started talking about the genre over the video. I thought the video was interesting and thoughtful. Alot of people can relate to the whole spousal yelling etc. I thought the video was pretty good and I think it will be huge real soon.
On the other side Im not a huge fan of Timbaland. Although he may have some talent in his own way. Chris you are a rock icon & legend yet your still going. You have nothing to prove anymore, youve accomplished it bud. So why not have fun with it.
I predict this album will make alot of money in 2009, hence the mainstream sound. But "finally" al the Pop, Hip Hop, R&B etc. will hear what a real talented rock gods voice sounds like. It will open the eyes of some. Way to go Chris!!!
By the way the Concert in Ottawa, Canada was awesome.....!!! It was my 1st concert ever. And I saved it for you bud.... Nothing will be as good until you come back!
I think that is what my dad used to say to my mom when she yelled while growing up. Anyway, people having their own thoughts is what blogging is about. People change their feel on life in certain stages.. Chris you are feeling a little poppy.. when you feel that way drink a soda or something.. lol.. your voice is ofcourse great singing twinkle twinkle I am sure to a child.. you are searching for something but, ( long time fan) you know the sound isn't it.. lyrics.. great... just not the music.. video.. if you ever sing country however my dad will like you... ( : if you want to feel a change maybe.. do something with Eddie again.. see what it feels like twenty years later..hehehe I hope it isn't an age thing u r going through with.. you look great even if you are 55 ( : joking.. I come from a family of six too... Im thirty five and the youngest.. so its fun to tease.. 15 to 80 year olds still think your hm hm.. hansome- however I did see a grey eyebrow

- Chris im not really sure if what you have just done y all bad,,,because is not bad music, but you are a symbol of the rock universe, you represent rock in this world, a world that is pushing rock music to a side, giving lights to Pop, R&B, Hip Hop, Regaeton, and now you are a part of that...you are supporting the end of rock music, iam part of a rock band in my country (Chile) my band is called Nabu, and its very well known among young people here (www.nabumusic.com), but the same crap happens here, its almoust imposible to sound in a radio if you are a rock band. Im not saying that making a different kind of music is bad...but its smells like you did this only to get more "actual" fans, the ones that likes popR&B music, buy doing this you stepped on your real fans that have followed you forever.
Sorry Chris, Timbaland is a guy that made his entire fortune saying "Ehhh" in the back of real singers like you....timbaland you have done something really bad for rock music, but without a doubt really good to your pocket....
Sorry if my english is not perfect....Spanish is my born lenguege...
Above all that, yours was the best concert that i have ever seen!!!
Saludos!!!
I havn't heard the whole song but being a solid CC fan since Soundgarden I must admit I don't like what i've hard so far!
It's cheesy and sounds more like Take That than the usual beautiful music that CC produces!
Come on Chris! You can do better!
Can you really and still expect a Soundgarden sound of Chris' new album? - I was a little bewildered at first, but I like this, too. Think about it like a Kubrick movie: he was at home in every genre.
I've been a Chris Cornell fan forever..Since soundgarden's screaming life and fopp eps and I have to say that I am very dissapointed with this sound and even most of Carry On. It just sucks waiting around for a new album by Chris and getting this. And yes, a fan of an artist doesn't have to like an album just because its made by that artist. If he made an album being a hardcore rapper would you like that too just because he made it. I am fan of chris' but I am a fan of music first! His first solo album is probably the best of his career, maybe a tie with down on the upside. Also, WHERE IS THE SG B-SIDES ALBUM/BOX SET??
I luv the vid, except for the opening, the car scene, sumthing weird about it...hhehehe...
But this is really a piece of art...it's "different"...Yeah, maybe like 5 years ago i wouldn't thinking to see CC in a vid like this...
I think the vid is a great "complement" to the song and the story behind...
Btw, CC looks so thin...!
You people that are bashing Chris for changing his style (which he has ALWAYS done) call yourself fans of CC? You're fucking posers. Get real with yourselves. It's Chris singing. I never liked his new band from Carry On anyway. But I still listened to it because CHRIS is what I was listening to.
I admire your dedication to music you love, Chris. Keep being a fucking badass.
Chris, I have always thought your voice was one of the best in rock. Your latest video has prompted me to go straight to i-tunes and buy the new album. Also your write up about Jeff Buckley in RS top 100 singers of all time was great. If you ever need some graphic design work hit me up. :)
I have to say, that I`ve met Your solo work a few days ago. I`m listenning the Soundgarden and Audioslave for a really long time, and I`m trying to buy all of Your albums (I`m an beginning artist, and the money is a little problem for these moment ;) ), and I can say that Your voice and whole music of these bands made and still makes a great impression on myself... And You know, when You started Your solo career, I didn`t wanted to try Your new music. I wanted to to have the portrait of these guy who`s realy rocks with old RATM, I didn`t want to kill the spirit of listenning these two bands. And it was a fucking mistake. Damn, I,ve bouth Your first album 3 days ago, and I haven`t go to the academy that day :D. Now I`m listenning Scream on Your side. God, I haven`t got any possible words to say anything about it... It`s simply great. And these lyrics... Thanks Chris.
Although I've been shying away from this type of mainstream sound I still have an appreciation for it. Good music is good music. This is good music. Chris's voice and Tims sound work well together imo... I'm a big fan of change and can respect Chris for trying something different. The man is an outstanding singer/song writer/artist and that shows in whatever he does. Much respect. I'll be buying the album when it drops... Peace... J
I've been a big fan of Chris Cornell since the early Soundgarden days, and I own every album from "Badmotorfinger" up to the last Audioslave...but guys, I have to admit that this song sucks. It's too sterile, clinical...the overall product sounds like a male version of Dido, which in itself is not necessarily bad...but for someone with such a spectacular voice and songwriting ability as Chris Cornell, this is very disappointing...
f*ckin' awesome !
chris a toujours eu une longueur d'avance et cette cillaboration avec timbaland est une riche idée
rien ne predit un succés, il peut tres bien tout rater. mais artistiquement il recherche de nouvelles perspectives.
Bow Down
Dax (i'll sing with you one day!)
Honestly, I really love Chris' music, from the very beginning on. But this song sucks. Chris' voice is great as usual but the beat sounds as every boring timbaland sound. And how original or innovative can a cooperation with timbaland be? Seems to be a money-making things.
Cheers.
i like the song and video ,it´s the first time i´ve heard it from start to finish . i really enjoy your music , keep bringing your outstanding music to your fans. regards!!!!!
Chris:
As a part of your street team I cannot wait for the full compilation, all the videos so far are so very much a great example of your diversity... seeing you preform this live and seeing the videos keeps me being a fan...Your gift of voice will never subside. You have never given your real fans everything but your best, You show true diversity.
I remember an interview you did with a radio station lately, and you said that you could not copy musicians, that you knew that you had to be your own master
Bravo you have completely stepped up.
Peace
Lisa in OB
Not being afraid of taking risks is what makes you so SO great. I cant wait for the new album to drop. COME ON WITH IT ALREADY! you r killin me! LOVE this sound...nice move teaming up with Timberland...VERY SMART GRASSHOPPER! You FN RULE, there is nothing else to say....Amber in GA
Thanks for making this song. You shouldn’t scream at the one you love… I love it and the video looks great! The models and actors - the kids sitting next to Chris in the museum are cute. Overall feel is great and I am saving my pennies to buy the album in stores when it debuts. Great, great - good feel. Thanks from your fan for staying true...

As always, Chris made a strong song.
But about the video I didn't understand the Timbaland scene. What was he doing? Or was it just a random scene?
Sorry for my english, I'm not English or American.
The video is great. I believe everyone should learn to talk because screaming never gets you anywhere. Chris always seems to get his point across. Now if the ones that really need to hear it . . . .
YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's what I'm talking about....
Taking the world by storm....
The new album will redefine what music is...
In my opinion he sounds amazing. His voice, no matter the band or sound support, continues to rock my soul. Thank you CC for continuing to create some sunshine from the inside out....
I really like the way this video was filmed. I play the song everyday and I can't get enough of it. I am very excited about the new album. By the way you look great!!
The relationship between Chris and his lady was so elegantly portrayed. The angrier she got, the more withdrawn Chris became, stonewalling as a way to deflect the lethal words. Having the headphones on while she was screaming, ignoring and not acknowledging her sentiments. The flip side is that the more Chris withdrew, the louder and more frustrated she became. It's a vicious cycle couples can get into. Thank you for the real version of what a lot of couples go through. I'm sure a lot of people look so beautiful and happy on the surface, but a world of resentment and anger is right underneath.
I don't know if it's the video. the song, or a little of both, but something makes me keep coming back for more.
This video has impact on so many levels. You just have to figure out which level is yours. I absolutely love it!!!!
I love his voice and love that he is open to new sounds. But, I think the sampling takes away from his voice.
I love the different sound/different direction. It's fresh, cool and honestly, in today's music market, it's needed!! I'm only disappointed that other avid CC fans don't ALL share my opinion. Great idea teaming up with Timbaland - not only is he immensely talented, he also has the golden touch in the music industry today.
This is the best song of the album so it´s cool to see that it finally got out as the second single of the LP.
The video it´s cool, maybe "Ground Zero" one is better but this still rocks :)
The song is a little too repetitive but, the song and his voice are beautiful. This guy just gets better looking every time I see him.
This song and video blow me away. The music is constantly in my head....it's really haunting and beautiful. And Chris just gets better and better looking! This made my day and I can hardly wait for the album!.
the one the most original bad ass music I've heard in my life.....and /I've been listening to you since ultramega ok. every album you make I'm more amazed....there will never be another singer like you to live,,,,,you're the best.....peace
Scream
Fantastic song
