Tom Morello on Chris Cornell

Welcome to The Singers Talk Podcast based on my book of the same name. This week you’ll hear my conversation with Tom Morello on the earth-shattering voice of Chris Cornell (Soundgarden / Audioslave). We first met Tom as the guitarist of the legendary Rage Against the Machine, but soon after they disbanded, he joined together with Chris Cornell to form Audioslave, which saw both men reach new heights, critically and commercially. What these two guys also have in common is they are both considered the best in their field: kicking ass. What we’re getting here is a beautiful, fun, heartbreaking and revealing conversation about one of the greatest vocalists of all time. And it’ll make you miss that voice even more than we already do. God bless you, Chris.
