“Ever since I can remember I’ve had positive and negative fan reviews. And whether it was positive or negative it wasn’t always based in reality or what my perception of the music was. But judging from playing these new songs live and my feelings on the record [Scream] – and it’s a great record – there is definitely an audience for it. Also, I don’t really go to clubs so I don’t know what sounds are made there.” KnowsMadeI CanFeelingsRealityRememberSongSoundAudienceRecordsFansJudgingPerceptionNegativeClubsReviewsScreamNew Songs Author:Chris Cornell

“I enjoy my solo career because I get to play smaller places like clubs and theaters, and the interaction with the audience is much higher quality. It also sounds better than a baseball stadium.

“TV is a different animal. It's not a club set. As you said, you do short sets on TV - about five minutes. So you have to get that rhythm down and also be aware of the camera so you're connecting with the viewers at home as well as the studio audience. It's a different muscle to develop.” WellsSaidDifferentHomeAnimalAudienceFiveMinutesTvsDown AndCamerasClubsStudiosRhythmMusclesViewersConnectingFive MinutesDifferent Animals Author:Ted Alexandro
