CHRIS CORNELL: New 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' Performance Date Announced
February 25, 2009Former SOUNDGARDEN/AUDIOSLAVE singer Chris Cornell will be the featured musical guest on ABC-TV's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on the Tuesday, March 10 episode (which will actually air the morning of March 11 beginning at 12:05 a.m.).
Cornell was originally scheduled to perform on the January 23 episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", but his appearance was cancelled "due to rain" (Cornell was slated to play on the outdoor stage).
Skee.tv recently posted behind-the-scenes footage of Chris Cornell on tour in support of his upcoming album, "Scream". Watch it below.
Produced by Timbaland, "Scream" will be released by Mosley Music/Interscope on March 10.
Following shows in Canada and Europe, Chris and his live band will be heading across America during March and April, taking in major U.S. cities from Dallas and New Orleans to Chicago and New York.
"Scream" has already caused controversy for ditching Cornell's hard rock roots in favor of a more pop and urban sound.
"Timbaland's diversity — in terms of his feels, the ideas he brought in, the beats, the rhythms, the musical themes and auras of the different songs — was incredible," Cornell told MTV.com. "His focus was very much, 'I don't repeat myself, and I won't let you repeat yourself.' Being someone that writes songs mainly from an organic platform, I just really didn't know how much is possible in the musical spectrum until I met Timbaland. What he brought in, every day, was a surprise. He would surprise me with ideas he would bring in or ideas he was working on every time. Timbaland's music, coming from someone like me who started in rock music, I view it as being psychedelic music more than hip-hop, more than pop, more than beat-based music. It's atmospheric, like PINK FLOYD is atmospheric — he creates a sonic world that you get lost in, and you listen to it and you start to trip out."
