Every few years I\u2019ll discover something deeper in his lyrics, or higher in his range. But there is an authenticity that comes with Chris that can\u2019t be taught or trained for. I believe every word he writes. I\u2019m inspired by his control over his animalistic vocal range, and his poetry, but also how honestly he sings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Menghi adds: \u201cIf you listen to the OG version of <em>Loud Love<\/em>, Chris\u2019 vocals are just absolute insanity and who better than Lzzy to tackle this? Lzzy has complete vocal dominance, carries such a strong presence and quite frankly is one of the best vocalists in modern rock today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Krusen also comments: \u201cSeattle was a very turbulent place in the late 80s and early 90s, and I think the best thing to come out of it was all the great music. I was a huge Soundgarden fan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got to meet Chris and Matt [Cameron, drums] when we (Pearl Jam) were working on [1991 debut album] <em>Ten<\/em> and they were working on Temple Of The Dog. It was a huge thrill for me. The fact that I was asked to be a part of this King Ultramega record was a huge honour. I was very intimidated to try and tackle the drum parts in <em>Loud Love<\/em>, but the guys I was recording with made it no pressure and a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-ULx2szkBXs6hTEvfEyCNwh\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-ULx2szkBXs6hTEvfEyCNwh slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\"\/>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Sign up below to get the latest from Metal Hammer, plus exclusive special offers, direct to your inbox!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Cornell, who co-founded Soundgarden in 1984, died at the age of 52 on May 18, 2017, while touring North America with the band.
