Chris cornell ha hablado con la gente de In The Studio (vía Alternative Nation) de su larga lucha contra la adicción al alcohol y como hoy día, una vez superados, vive una vida mucho más plena y productiva.
Una de las mejores cosas que me han pasado en estos últimos 5 o 6 años de mi vida y carrera es vivir un estilo de vida más sano tanto física como psíquicamente, el haber dejado el alcohol y todos los comportamientos que lleva aparejado. De golpe tenía energía para hacer todas las cosas que quería hacer.
Mi estilo de vida no me permitía hacer (muchas cosas) porque me metía en el estudio por la mañana a trabajar en una canción y me estaba ahí sentado de 2 a 3 horas bebiendo café y luchando contra la resaca.
Como cualquiera que haya tenido estos problemas, tuve que luchar contra ello. Era igual de propenso a pasarme o excederme como cualquiera. En un ambiente en el que eres un vocalista de rock o un tío en una banda de rock, nadie va a echarte si apareces borracho en tu trabajo. Así que fui, durante mucho tiempo, uno de los tíos más “está con todo el mundo” de Seattle que viajaba por el mundo y hacía música. Pero para mi, fue un periodo de espera hacia un duro momento de mi vida. Caí en la bebida para pacificarme e ignoraba los problemas de mi vida. Esa es una manera cobarde de afrontar las cosas. Sinceramente, debía ser la misma manera en que otra gente luchaba con ello, yo me acabé cansando.
Me desperté un día y pensé, “No tengo paciencia por como soy ahora. No hay ninguna razón para vivir como vivo ahora y que mi vida personal sufra o que siquiera tenga relaciones o una vida personal que no debería existir. Mi música está sufriendo y las capacidades que tengo no pueden ser utilizadas al máximo”. Yo siempre trataba de ir más allá y no simplemente cubrir el expediente. Tengo una buena actitud por el hecho de poder vivir de esto, créeme, porque no siempre fui capaz de verlo.
In a new interview on In The Studio, Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell discussed overcoming his battle with alcoholism and how it has changed his life and career.
“One of the best things for example that’s happened to me in the last 5 or 6 years or so in my life and my career, is just suddenly living a healthier lifestyle physically and mentally, like kicking out alcohol and all of the behavior that goes along with that. Suddenly I had the energy to do all of the things I wanted to do.”
He said that he has energy now to do things like acoustic shows, which is something he always wanted to do but couldn’t.
“My lifestyle just didn’t allow for it, because I would come into my studio in the morning to work on a song, and I’d sit around for 2 or 3 hours drinking coffee and battling a hangover.”
“Just like anybody else that has had those issues, I had to deal with it just like anybody else. I was just as suseptible to overdoing it or excess as anyone. In an environment when you are a rock singer, or a guy in a rock band, no one is going to fire you if you show up for your job drunk. So I was one of the more ‘together’ guys out of Seattle that was running around the world and making music, for a really long time. But for me, it was sort of laying in wait for a rough period in my life personally. I just fell into relying on drinking to just kind of pacify me, and I was ignoring my life’s problems. That’s sort of a cowardly way of dealing with things. Honestly, it was probably the same way that other people decide to wrestle with it, I just got tired of it.”
“I woke up one day and thought: ‘I have absolutely no patience for the way that I am now. There’s no reason why I have to be living like this, and that my personal life should suffer or I should even have relationships, or a personal life that shouldn’t exist. My music’s suffering, and the gifts that I’ve been given not being utilized to their fullest ability.’ I was always trying to push the envelope, not just trying to keep up. I have a good attitude toward the fact that I get to do this for a living, believe me, because I didn’t always get to.”

El resumen de la vida musical de Barrett Martin es sin duda uno de los más impresionantes con los que jamás te encontrarás, ya que ha tocado con los Screaming Trees, Layne Staley y Mike McCready en Mad Season, y Duff McKagan en Walking Papers, entre otros. Y ahora, ha vuelto al grupo instrumental con sede en Seattle, Tuatara, con un álbum conjunto que se publicará a finales de este verano, ‘Underworld’ (Billboard recientemente estrenó una canción, «The Skeleton Getdown»). Producido por Martin y mezclado por Jack Endino, ‘Underworld’ se dará a conocer a través del sello musical de Martin, Sunyata Records. Recientemente, el Sr. Martin tuvo la amabilidad de conceder una entrevista a Alternative Nation.
Por qué ha tardado tanto tiempo en llegar una continuación al anterior álbum de Tuatara, ‘The Here and the Gone’?
¿Cómo funciona el proceso de escribir en Tuatara?
Una canción o composición pueden provenir de cualquier miembro de la banda, y entonces simplemente comenzamos la construcción de la idea, la organizamos, esculpiendo una canción. En mi caso, contribuyo mucho sobre las ideas iniciales en contrabajo, vibráfono y piano. A veces uno de mis ritmos de batería se convierte en nuestra inspiración inicial. Peter escribe mucho con la guitarra obviamente, y Skerik está siempre tratando con increíbles melodías exóticas. Una vez que empezamos a martillearjuntos, realmente comienza a sonar como una banda única.

Barrett Martin’s musical resume is certainly one of the most impressive you’ll ever come across, having played with the Screaming Trees, Layne Staley and Mike McCready in Mad Season, and Duff McKagan in Walking Papers, among others. And now, he has returned to the Seattle-based instrumental group, Tuatara, with an album set to be issued later this summer, ‘Underworld’ (of which the Billboard site recently premiered a song from, “The Skeleton Getdown”. Produced by Martin and mixed by Jack Endino, ‘Underworld’ will be released via Martin’s label, Sunyata Records. Recently, Mr. Martin was kind enough to grant Alternative Nation an interview.
Why did it take so long to follow up Tuatara’s last album, ‘The Here and the Gone’?
Part of the delay was that I was finishing my masters degree in anthropology and that took all of my focus for about 3 years. And then after graduating, I moved back to Seattle and started teaching as an adjunct professor at Antioch University, so I had several syllabi to write, classes to teach, and papers to read. During that time I was also writing new music that would eventually become the foundation for the new Tuatara ‘Underworld’ album, but I also started the rock band Walking Papers and our debut album initially came out and I found myself on an 18 month world tour (I am writing this in Eastern Hungary where Walking Papers just played). In between legs of the Walking Papers tour, we recorded and mixed the new Tuatara album. So I recorded tracks in New York, New Mexico, Seattle, Portland, and even New Zealand. But now it’s finally done and about to be released, and it’s a really great 20 song double album. It’s probably the best thing we’ve ever done and well worth the wait.
How does the songwriting typically work in Tuatara?
A song or composition can come from any member of the band, and then we just start building on the idea, arranging it, sculpting it into a song. With me, I contribute a lot of the initial ideas on upright bass, vibraphone, and piano. Sometimes one of my drum rhythms becomes our initial inspiration. Peter writes a lot with guitar obviously, and Skerik is always coming up with amazing, exotic melodies. Once we start hammering it out together, it really starts to sound like a very unique band.
