what can u say about the new Chris Cornell album? Its produced by Timbaland and sounds more like Justin Timberlake than Soundgarden...
Really got this big beats like the new Duran Duran... but its nothing new with rock artists doing something different. it just shows flesibility and creativity i think.
Darius Rucker of Hootie and the Blowfish before having his now massive career as a country singer did make an RnB/Hiphop album around 2002...
And Scott Weiland's new album now also have some hiphop elements but its more diverse than Chris having some blues and country and rock in between...
James Heitfield did country on CMt few years back... so is Philipp Anselmo..
what i wanna see though is Metallica and Megadeth teaming with Timbaland hahahaha wonder how that would sound...
country singer Alan Jackson teamed up with Alison Krauss in 2005 in what supposedly a bluegrass album but instead ended up with a soulful acoustic country album...lol
who are some artists you know who stepped out of their genre and experiment with something else?
I can enumerate a few more:
Leann Rimes- did a synth/bubble gum pop album called Twisted Angel in 2002
Eric Durrance of post grunge band Big Dismal- now a country singer
Jon Foreman of Switchfoot- has a solo folk album and an avant garde(kinda)/folk band Fiction Family
Leigh Nash of Sixpence None the Richer- teaming up with Delirium for an entire album of electronica
Sebastian Bach of SKID ROW doing country music with Battle With The Bottle
Kanye West- singing on new Cd hahahahaha
