Former
AUDIOSLAVE/
SOUNDGARDEN singer
Chris Cornell was joined on stage last night (Wednesday, November 14) at the Wildhorse Saloon in Nashville, Tennessee by rock legend
Peter Frampton for a rendition of the
SOUNDGARDEN classic
"Black Hole Sun". Watch fan-filmed video footage of the performance 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."
