About this listen

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.

Well written story. Well read but the voice was annoying to listen to. Ironic since it was about one of the greatest voices of all time.

Good story

A deep telling of Chris Cornell that connects his life and musical journey to bands and musicians I’d never thought to listen before - - so a tour de Chris was had as a result of this book - turned me onto an entire catalogue of music and a style I’d just never listened to before which made the entire experience utterly fascinating and rewarding - and therefore even more devastating when we get to the inevitable end and mourn him again - I was on my morning walk, new it was coming and yet the utter sorrow of that loss was renewed in light of the memory of his gifts, and then celebrated because we have the music…. Total f’ing godhead indeed.

Well researched, written and read - absolutely engaging
