Casino Royale singer Chris Cornell delays solo album release

Former Audioslave and Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell's second solo album, Carry On, has had its release date pushed back from May 1st to June 5th - reports The Rock Radio.

The album will contain "You Know My Name", the theme song to the 2006 James Bond film "Casino Royale".

No explanation was given for the delay. Cornell began working on the disc last fall after the release of Audioslave's third album, Revelations. News of the solo project fueled rumors of a split with Audioslave, with Cornell officially leaving the band last month due to "irresolvable personality conflicts as well as musical differences."

Additionally Cornell is permanently departing super-group Audioslave stating, "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 endeavors."

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

Aw, that's poop. They've had some really great songs but to me, Audioslave did seem like a temporary band anyway.
Too bad the new album only had two singles.

[neally]

WOW !!! What a shame, but now it's official. Thanks for the find, audiogarden !

2007 is becoming a crazy year of $pending even more money on music- gonna have to put this Chris Cornell record on the growing list of highly anticipated 2007 records (Wilco, Kelly Clarkson, Metallica, ? GNR, just to name a few). I'm looking forward to CC'd record because he definitely is my most favourite male voice out these days- technically and emotionally.

I really liked their first album. Unfortunately, they dropped off a little for me with each subsequent album. So perhaps it was just time to move on. Does the split make a full-fledged RATM reunion more likely?

[Love Plastic Love]

Lies. LIES!

Great question about Rage. Linkin Park says they will have a new sound, because the punk/rap style has faded. Whether Rage could revive it, or whether Zach de La Rocha can carry a tune, I don't know.

Tom Morello has said in recent interviews that The Nightwatchman (his new band) is his main project for now.

[Rumors]

I wish everyone in Audioslave good luck in their future endeavors. I doubt that many people are surprised by this announcement. Chris is doing a solo album and isn't Rage re-forming to play at Cochella????

Tom Morello's new band's (The Nightwatchman) CD drops on, I believe April 24. I will have to double check that.

I agree, not surprising. The Coachella gig reportedly is a one-off performance. Maybe something more will come outta that. Looking forward to Chris's album.

[jaxxalude]

This band was one big mistake to start with, as are most supergroups anyway. Good riddance to them. It wasn't good while it lasted.

[banet2001]

It does not really surprise me. It seems like Audioslave ran out of ideas a long time ago. It is time for them to move on to other endeavors.

[damnnnitzzjohn]

WOW! Shockiing

At least they quit while they were behind.

[Lovelyhead]

good riddance. i loved rage and liked a lot of soundgardens music, but audioslave were terrible.

[audiogarden]

I love Audioslave, and I will miss it. But, in truth, Chris Cornell can hire studio musicians and make great music. I loved Soundgarden, but I have to skip some of their songs. On three Audioslave CDs, I never skip any songs.

Tom Morello and crew are very talented musicians, and they will be successful whatever they do.

But a vocalist with Chris Cornell's range and emoting abilities doesn't come along very often. And, he writes fantastic lyrics.

Chris entertained at one of the biggest post Oscar bashes last night. Too bad his song didn't get the nomination it (IMO) deserved.

The A-listers turned out in force for Graydon Carter's annual Vanity Fair post-Oscar bash at Mortons, where a giant, 30-foot-long myrtle topiary proclaimed "VANITY FAIR" in front of the Melrose Avenue restaurant. The stars enjoyed music by former Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell and DJ Mateo and sipped Veuve Clicquot Grande Dame to go with their New York strip steak.

[SHOOTER]

He has one of the best voices in rock, period.

[johnm1120]

I was hoping he'd quit music.

I doubt this will be as good as euphoria morning. lol at the thread title change, as if anybody's sweatin it like that

I wonder if he still sounds bad. damn, that's my dude.

Chris Cornell has ruined his voice and has no fans left? Where have I heard that before? Oh yes, another thread about another singer.

LOL

[audiogarden]

I want that CD now. I suspect I am not alone. So, I think there are lots of 'nobody'(ies) that are sweating it.

[audiogarden]

Ok, I changed the title.

Reaching into the vault, Cornell finds old voice

By ED CONDRAN
phillyBurbs.com

During the last Audioslave tour, Chris Cornell's monstrous rock-God voice started showing signs of wear and tear. But that was then. Cornell's sold-out solo show Sunday night at the Theatre of Living Arts proved that the iconic rocker's pipes can still hit ridiculously high notes.

Cornell was as casual as his apparel — T-shirt and jeans. He delivered a set that covered three bands, two solo albums and more than a decade and a half of his career. His howl was in full effect, especially during Soundgarden tracks such as “Outshined” and “Fell on Black Days.”

Such Temple of the Dog tracks as “Say Hello 2 To Heaven” and “Hungerstrike” stoked the primarily 30-something crowd into a frenzy.

Cornell, who has had a remarkably consistent career, had much to choose from during his two-hour set. Fans called for “Jesus Christ Pose,” “Pretty Noose” and his bluesy cover of Michael Jackson's “Billie Jean,” but weren't rewarded. Cornell has been changing his set from town to town. Cornell obviously can't play all of the hits. But the familiar tracks he played — “Black Hole Sun,” “Spoonman” and “Blow Up The Outside World” —impressed.


The rocker turned restaurateur (Cornell has a bistro in Paris), proves he doesn't need more than hired guns. A few new tracks from Cornell's second solo album, an eponymous effort that drops in June, has some bite. “You Know My Name,” which was featured in the film “Casino Royale,” proves that Cornell, 42, has plenty left in the tank.

Give Cornell credit for going solo in the year of the reunion. It would be tempting to regroup Soundgarden and play big venues and make even bigger dollars. Cornell, who crafted the Soundgarden tracks and co-wrote the Audioslave tunes, is fine by his lonesome.

Those who missed Cornell can catch him when he returns later in the year to support his solo album.

Hey, Damage. Good news! Chris' voice is not only still gold, but it has gone platinum.

I just hope we both get to catch him on tour.

[SHOOTER]

Anybody have an idea how well his 1st solo CD sold? It debuted pretty high on the charts but there's no certification for it.

And has he changed the album title to self-titled?

Former AUDIOSLAVE/SOUNDGARDEN singer Chris Cornell will be the featured musical guest on ABC-TV's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on the Friday, June 8 episode (which will actually air the morning of June 9 beginning at 12:05 a.m.).

[damnnnitzzjohn]

Is this actually going to be released on June 5?

Yes, unless something changes. It was originally scheduled for May 8, but got pushed back a month.

[busyboy]

Leaked!

[audiogarden]

Damage, I am sorry, but you lost me when you said that Trent Reznor's voice is in better shape than Chris Cornell's.

Trent wouldn't even attempt those high notes that Chris hits so easily.

It is not strain that you hear, it is his rocker wail. He has sounded like that for 20 years. Chris' voice is like Jack Black label. It has a sweet, smoky undertone.

I saw the video for Arms Around Your Love, and I really think Chris could have a pop radio hit, if his label works the stations.

Chris Cornell and pop? Oh well. Why not?
