is anyone with me on this or am i all by myself here?"
I don't know about that. Chris Cornell is a great guitarist and songwriter and he helped make Soundgarden into a fantastic band. The RATM/Chris Cornell collaboration, as I hear, has no intention of sounding anything like RATM or Soundgarden. A spokesperson for RATM said they're heading in a completely new sonic direction. Pretty exciting, eh?
