Summary

The first comprehensive biography of iconic singer-songwriter Chris Cornell.

Total F*cking Godhead is the complete story of the complex and enigmatic artist, Chris Cornell. It's the riveting account of a blue collar, high-school dropout emerging from Seattle, Washington, to become one of the greatest singer-songwriters and voices of his generation. With input from people who knew and worked with him - together with Cornell's own words - the book recounts in great detail the rise of his immortal band Soundgarden as they emerged from the 1980s post-punk underground to dominate popular culture in the '90s alongside other Seattle bands like Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, and Nirvana.

Long-time Seattle resident and rock writer Corbin Reiff examines Cornell's dynamic solo career as well as his time in Audioslave. He delves into his hard-fought battle with addiction, as well as the supercharged reunion with the band that made him famous before everything ended tragically.

This is the story of an artist who channeled his own inner turmoil into songs that touched the hearts of millions around the world and turned Chris Cornell into one of music's greatest icons.

Really enjoyed and appreciated all the research and interviews that took place to gather all this info. Especially enjoyed content on the early years and Seattle music scene. Chris loved his family and worked hard to maintain their privacy, so as much as I’d have liked more content around his personal life I can appreciate some things are best left alone. Even tho the narrator’s voice is tedious you get used to him.

It’s a deeply compelling account, was thoroughly engaged the whole way thru, especially since we know the devastating outcome. The build up to Detroit was well written….one day we’ll hopefully hear the band’s perspective.

Would have also appreciated a bit more on Soundgarden side projects during their hiatus. Wellwater Conspiracy doesn’t get a mention.

But, enjoyed the content about the band members’ communication during studio sessions. It’s these interactions that surrounded and no doubt influenced the music that we still enjoy…and always will.

Loud love
