Chris Cornell Accepts Responsibility Over Bad Album Title Idea

(TeamRock Radio) Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell has taken the blame for spending years unhappy about the title of his 1999 solo album Euphoria Morning. He'd originally named it Euphoria Mourning, but was convinced to change it - and spent years regretting the move before correcting the title ahead of its re-release in August.

Cornell tells Rolling Stone Australia: "Right before the record came out I was doing interviews. If you say 'Euphoria Mourning' the listener doesn't know if it's 'mourning' with a 'u' or 'morning' without a 'u.'

"That started to bother me, so I had a conversation with my manager at the time. I said, 'I really love the title, but do you think it's confusing?' He suggested 'Euphoria Morning' would probably be a better title. I thought, 'Maybe that works.'"

He continues: "It wasn't my manager's fault. I was a grown man - I could say, 'I don't think that's a good idea.' And in the back of my mind I didn't think it was a good idea." Read more here.
