CHRIS CORNELL: More Footage With PETER FRAMPTON Posted Online
November 21, 2007Former AUDIOSLAVE/SOUNDGARDEN vocalist Chris Cornell's YouTube channel has been updated with several new videos, including a much better version of Peter Frampton performing "Black Hole Sun" with Chris on November 14, 2007 in Nashville. Also available are two other clips — one of Peter Frampton helping out on "Slaves and Bulldozers" and a warm-up of Chris and the band harmonizing on "Safe and Sound", a song off Cornell's latest solo release, "Carry On". Watch the clips below.
Earlier this year Peter Frampton said it was because he "loved" Cornell's work in AUDIOSLAVE (2001-2007) and SOUNDGARDEN (1984-1997) that he recorded an instrumental version of "Black Hole Sun". The track earned the veteran rocker a 2006 Grammy nomination.
Speaking to KansasCity.com recently, Cornell said, "My wife (Paris-based publicist Vicky Karayiannis) has the computer right now. Otherwise I would go on iTunes and buy (Frampton's version of 'Black Hole Sun'). I'm looking for music for the end of (my) show, when people are walking out. I thought I could use different versions of 'Black Hole Sun'. Before I investigated it, I counted four or five versions; there are 22.
"The weird thing is, if you put me in a time machine and sent me back to the time when 'Frampton Comes Alive' was the biggest album on the planet, when I was (about) 10, and you told me one day he would do one of your songs and say wonderful things about you — that's fantasyland, especially for someone who grew up in a place (Seattle) where you didn't hear anyone who had an impact on the rest of the planet. It makes me feel good about doing what I do."
