I really love the way Cornell changed the ending to Black Hole Sun during his 2007 tour. It gave a fresh new sound to a classic!

This song is a true classic! Every song on this album - Superunknown is gold! Cornell is a rock god! Check out his work with Audioslave, solo, Temple of the Dog and watch out for his new solo album released later this year. One of the best songwriters of a time - such an amazing voice!
