Axl and Chris Cornell

[jameslofton29]

 Does anyone remember back in 1999 when Axl was gonna be on 2 tracks on Chris Cornell's solo album? I was really looking forward to this collaboration. Obviously, nothing came of it. Does anyone know why? Did Chris get into it with Axl so he just scrapped it? Maybe the songs were really good and Axl wanted them for himself? Who wrote the 2 songs? If Axl wrote them, maybe they could be on CD. Anybody got any info on this?

I don't remember that.

I think this is the first time I hear this rumor....

The only thing I remember is that Josh Freese laid down drum tracks on a bunch of songs on Cornell's solo record.  I also remember Cornell asking Freese what it was like to play SCOM with Axl and a bunch of punk guys.

Jarmo, you never heard about this? Damn, I should have posted this years ago! LMAO!! It wasn't a rumor, it was a fact. MTV mentioned it several times and I also read about it in a magazine. When the album came out, I got it and the songs weren't on the album. I was pissed!! I always wondered if it could have been a publicity stunt. But wouldn't Axl have sued if it was a lie?

[mikegiuliana]

I never heard about it either but that would sure be something, two big loud powerful voices like that.. 

[jameslofton29]

Yes, Mike, it would have been mindblowing! Cornell is my 2nd favorite singer.

"...it was a fact." - how so? Because MTV and a couple magazines said so?

If you rely on MTV and magazines (i.e. the media!) for fact then am I to assume you live a life of complete fiction?! I need not remind you of the many fictitious facts that we read and hear these days regarding Chinese Democracy's release.

[jameslofton29]

Dignan, I cant hardly stand people like you. You have to think of something negative to say about everything. When it comes to musicians, movie stars, etc., the media is our only source of information. The reason I said fact is because it wasn't some bullshit internet rumor. It came from several sources. According to your braindead logic, Illusions was never released because MTV and some magazines said it was.

According to your braindead logic,

Less of that please.

This is new to me.? but the album Euphoria Morning is one of my favorite all-time albums.? It's so laid back.? I myself couldn't imagine Axl on that album.?

[jameslofton29]

I cant believe no one remembers this! Do any of the people that have inside info on GNR still post at this site? Maybe they could tell us what went on between Axl and Chris.

I call shananigans.   Maybe you dreamed it?

[jameslofton29]

Thorazine, that could be the reason Axl wasn't on the album. Maybe the songs they worked on together didn't really fit with the other material on the album. So Chris left it off.

Always a please to read your contribution

Care to show any evidence for your claim? As no one else has heard of this i'm thinking your post has about as much substance as all your other ones....

[jameslofton29]

 Izzy, if I had "evidence", why would I be asking other people about it? And if you dont like my posts, why are you constantly reading and critiquing them?

[dave-gnfnr2k]

This is news to me too, I know there was a rumor and Trent and Axl but not Chirs and Axl to my knowledge.

[Falcon]

Though it would have been one helluva collaboration, I've never heard a word about til now.

I call shenanagins as well.

[DoubleTalkingJive]

The only thing I remember reading about Axl and Chris Cornell was that Axl said he liked Soundgarden alot and Chris buries him.   

[RichardNixon]

This is the first I've heard of it to.

[Smoking Guns]

I remember, just like I remember hearing about Axl and Alantis Morrisette.
