Chris is nothing without Kim Thayil and Ben Shepherd

Kim and Ben are really underrated but Chris' first solo record was good. His other solo stuff isn't brilliant but to say he's "nothing" is just rude senpai

>>3943803
Don't get me wrong, he's still a helluva songwriter, and possibly the most badass voice to ever walk the earth, but his solo stuff doesn't even come close to what they did as Soundgarden. Or even Audioslave for that matter

Did you know Ben Sheppard's real name is Hunter Schaeffer

Better than anything Audioslave ever did desu

Nice. I always just called him Ben. That's what they write on the back of the albums

>>3943823
That's cool I don't know much else about him. I think he wrote black hole sun but not sure. I like how he plays the bass the rest of the family says he's a dick but I think that's just cause they're mooches

He replaced Hiro Yamamoto in 89 I believe

And no one knew who soundgarden was before that, so that says something about how badass Ben actually is.

I think the difference is that Chris cowrote %90 of their songs with Ben and Kim
