Hey folks!

First pic: A black and white photo of singer Chris Cornell (RIP), on stage, in the middle of singing into a microphone and possibly head-banging. He is shirtless and wears jeans and a black belt. His head is facing the floor and it's like an explosion of dark hair emerging from his head from the force of whipping his head.  Second pic: A black and white photo of the band on a sidewalk in front of a brick wall. The bottom of the wall, where it meets the sidewalk, is illuminated - the suggestion of car headlights perhaps? The ground is wet. The band members look in different directions.
