Total F*cking Godhead

The Biography of Chris Cornell

By: Corbin Reiff

Narrated by: Michael Butler Murray

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.

Still can’t believe it

Only recently been able to listen to any of Chris’s music. Simply too painful. This book came at the right time. Though I sobbed through many sections and the last chapter truly heart wrenching, it was a solid, informative listen. Thank you Corbin and of course, thank you Chris.

Looks like a complete biography

Great work, but in some parts was confusing so I lost concentration. The author narrates the story, which in my opinion is always a plus. I wish this audiobook has some of his songs, that would be great.

FUCKING OUTSTANDING!!

it is hard to believe that he pieced this book together by making a timeline out of quotes and interviews. very impressed very thorough job putting it together.

Really well done!

Loved it. Of course a sad ending. But very well researched. I highly recommend it.

A must read for anyone that appreciates talent.

An incredible story and journey of an individual with immense talent from the point of childhood to his unfortunate death. Understanding more about him now than I did before brings tears to my eyes and sorrow to my heart that he is still not around to share the beauty of what he was able to create. An absolute must read for anybody that wants to understand the history of Seattle music and the journey that Chris went through.
