Another picture of Screaming Trees vocalist Mark Lanegan, this time with Dave Gahan, looking at least 4 inches taller than Dave to me: Click Here
6'2.5 might be fair for Mark, hard to tell though.

Another pic of Mark Lanegan with Josh Homme, better but still not sure of footwear or even if he's at a different elevation. Still seems over 6'2 though:

lennus, Mark Lanegan's height is hard to tell. Not really photos of him standing next to other people that are reliable. There are photos next to Kurt Cobain, Moby, and Layne Staley but they're not standing up straight or at equal perspective points. Though he met Chris Cornell there are no photos of them together unfortunately.
Lanegan is definitely at least 6'2 though. Here are some slightly better photos with Courtney Love & Josh Homme, but again they're not that great for determination:

What is crazy about him reaching that height is that he drank so much at an early age. He was known as the town drunk before he could legally drink - AT AGE 12. He mentioned in his book he was 6'2 at the age of 18 and had a full beard. Crazy. I guess that goes to show you how much of height is genetics, or maybe he just had enough food to eat (I strongly doubt he ate healthy though haha).
I heard Chris Cornell drank and smoked marijuana excessively at the age of 13 but I can't find a source for that one. Mark heavily documented his own youth though and you can read all about his early life from "Sing Backwards and Weep".
I'd put Mark Lanegan at 6'2.5 just like Cornell. I'm not sure who would be taller out of him or Cornell, but there's definitely not much between them.

I'm sure Steve Vai has been about 145 pounds at times, a bit shorter at 6'1 but can really look gaunt. Officially Vai is 6'2, 150 pounds. I can't imagine being 40 pounds lighter, I'd look like I was in a concentration camp! Cornell looked like he worked out a lot, in great shape from what I remember in Audioslave, I would be surprised if he was under 170 lbs by then.

6-2.5. Side fact he and Chester Bennington where both together investigating some “bad” things Japan in Hollywood. Both committed suicide.
Yes, as was Isaac Kappy. Also suicide... Of course Hollywood doesn't have any peedos or child traffickers, it's an innocent place! Chris did a lot of good work with his Chris and Vicky Cornell Foundation for children, so wouldn't surprise me if he was involved in investigating some bad stuff. Not enough evidence to conclude he was murdered though. His loss from the music scene is one of the biggest in recent years, he really had something special, the prototype great singer/songwriter.

Ten stone five was far too skinny for a guy of Chris’s height. 😢
This time round, he can have two and a half inches over six foot.

Chris always did look over 6'2. Oddly enough Mark Lanegan remembers Chris being slightly shorter than him in his memoir, Mark claims to be just 6'2 though. Maybe Mark was actually closer to 6'3 and just never cared enough to get his exact measurement.

Hey Rob, Can you figure out the height of singer Mark Lanegan from The Screaming Trees and Queens of the Stone Age? He looks undoubtedly tall compared to most people, In some pictures he appears almost as tall as Josh Homme.

Rob, Soundgarden was undoubtedly a tall band (apart from legendary). How tall do you think are the other members? Click Here
Matt Cameron next to Chris is listed as 6'1 on the web, though I would have said he struggled to look over 6 foot there. Kim Thayil is listed as 6'0, though he looks more like 5'11.5, he looks at the mouth area of Chris in this photo, so 3 inches shorter. Ben Sheppard is listed as 6'4 on the web, I don't have an estimate for him, though he is clearly taller than Chris so he could be around it. What do you think of their heights?

I wonder how tall Brad Wilk is. Morello is about 5'10 and De La Rocha looks almost the same height as him. Tim C is listed as 6'4. Chris Cornell was 6'2. Brad always seemed like the shortest member of Rage but in some pics he lools taller than morello. 5'8 or 5'9

Rob, how tall does Tom Morello (guitarist of Audioslave and Rage against the machine) look here? Click Here Click Here
He looks quite short next to Chris though in the past you had guessed him as near 5'11ish when you were asked
Chris was definitely a strong 6'2 by the way, 6'2.5 or near enough that mark was very possible as his low

Lets not get carried away, ussually the body stretches after death so people re 1 inch taller, Cornell was 100% between 188 cm and 189 cm no more no less, a legitimate strong 6'2" or 6'2.25". Morello I think is about 5'9" or 175 cm.

@Slim Your comment is exagerate. I should see a range between about 188.5 cm to 190 cm.
So, I was looking more and 6'2.5" is perfect, Chris was about 188.75 cm in his low.

Anywhere in the 6ft2-3 range is arguable
How is 6'3 ''arguable'' when Chris himself had said 6'2 and a half?? you could argue 6'2-6'2.5, but nothing over 6'2.5, end of story. But I just believe the guy was honest with his 6'2.5 claim, he simply looked it, and he just rounded up or down on other occasions.

I can't see him taller than a guy like Routh, sorry, and autopsy reports tend to list height as more a lot, I would guess they rounded up rather than satating "6'2 and a half". On occasion he could look 6'3 but geberally lookeda 6'2 er I think.

Rob, is 6'3 peak possible for Cornell? After watching old Soundgarden videos, Cornell's height is the first thing that attracts attention. He had very long legs and a body structure that matches some legit 6'3 guys, like Ray Stevenson, for instance. That being said, Cornell didn't look as tall in his final performances, so could he have lost an inch?

Arthur, I've never met Cornell, but it is possible he was a flat 6'2" since he was lanky. However, the boot thing is a bit vague to draw too many conclusions. We'd have to know what kind of boots we're talking about and how much Ann knows about height and footwear. And yeah, 6'5" seems about what I remember Morello saying. I'll see if that episode is online later. When I heard it, I knew it wasn't a realistic figure, but Ronnie James Dio, who I did meet, was no more than about 5'2" by this point, so I took it as hyperbole to emphasize the difference. Morello is really that tall? If so, Chris looks every bit his claim here: Click Here But then Morello doesn't look much different with Zakk Wylde: Click Here Like I said, in person, Zakk seemed somewhere near 6'1" in those big boots he always wears, so I assume he's about six feet, maybe 184 cm max, though possibly a bit shorter now. Nowhere near the 6'2" he claimed to be, though.

When you just see him standing alone you'd think nearer 6 ft but it's only when you see him stand by guys like Morello as you said Rampage you see that he was a decent 6'2 ranger.

Morello is somewhere in the 5'10/5'11 range, maybe closer to 5'11 cause he is a little taller than Serj Tankian who is listed here 5'10.5 and Serj could be as low as 5'10. It's funny you mention that interview, someone has mentioned it in the comments before, I haven't seen it. They said Morello called Cornell 6'5...
Chris could look as low as 6'2 to as high as 6'3 so I think his listing is great. He could have been 6'2.25-6'2.5 at his low.
Actually, Ann Wilson claimed in a recent interview that when she first met Chris, he was wearing enormous boots that "probably made him 6'3". So she thought he was quite shorter than 6'3 I think that's an interesting quote.

Really great singer, quite sad. He did look about this and he seems the type to either just round up or down, hence the 6'2" and 6'3". Definitely a tall guy. I remember Tom Morello exaggerating his height with a figure obviously not meant to be taken literally when he recounted seeing Chris talking with Ronnie James Dio. Clearly, just like Dio was quite small physically, Cornell was notably tall, especially for a musician. You can see it next to a guy like Morello who always struck me as an average around 5'10" guy, but was much shorter than Chris. Although I've seen Morello look a lot shorter than Zakk Wylde(6'1" with his boots) as well, so maybe Morello is shorter than I think.
Really great singer, quite sad. He did look about this and he seems the type to either just round up or down, hence the 6'2" and 6'3". Definitely a tall guy. I remember Tom Morello exaggerating his height with a figure obviously not meant to be taken literally when he recounted seeing Chris talking with Ronnie James Dio. Clearly, just like Dio was quite small physically, Cornell was notably tall, especially for a musician.

Don't forget Audioslave headbanger. Audioslave songs are really inspiring. Cornell's solo work has been incredible too, like Euphoria Morning or his latest Higher Truth.
Rob speaking of Audioslave and Soundgarden, will you add any other member? Like Tom Morello of Audioslave

@Danimal, I posted that before it was even reported about the Ativan, Heidi Klums ex and Chris's wife. I doubt he was happy with the performance though, it was pretty sloppy from what I saw, the timing was off.

He clearly measured all 3 heights at different times of the day. 6'3" probably in the morning when he was younger. 6'2.5" mid-day and 6'2" after a long concert at night. He was a legend and it's still crazy that he's gone so young and under such conditions. HUGE fan of Soundgarden. RIP Chris!

Chris had always appeared as that type of person who would (often deliberately) 'reduce' himself, even though he was indisputably outstanding in nearly all aspects (appearance, talent, personality); I wouldn't be surprised if he even downgraded his own lofty height as he would always slouch considerably when standing next to those shorter than him. He was a profoundly unpretentious artist. In almost all the photos I have seen, he appears to comfortably tower over everyone. He could easily be a convincing 6ft2-6ft3 man. Chris was a noble, humble albeit acutely sensitive and fragile person. Unfortunately, this world tends to ravage upon such affable individuals.

Shellshocked with his death. That stabbing pain you get in your stomach. Rarely get that when a celeb dies but Cornell was arguably the greatest living rock singer/songwriter, eons better than most of today's performers and highly intellectual/philosophical which just clicked with me. There's very few celebs I respected more or clicked with me than this guy.There's so many overrated performers in music but Chris was really a gem, fanastic voice and spirit. In a way though he had a sort of unworldly presence anyway, Jesus-like, like he wasn't really living, if you know what I mean. Certainly a Black Hole Sun today, RIP :-(

I've never quite figured him or soundgardens height out. I do know he always where's boots with heels. But the photos with all the different musicians never match up. Matt Cameron is the same height and then not. Ben shepherd is taller in most photos and then not. Matt Cameron is tall and then short and then tall again. My guess is Chris has and will always where lifts or boots. There's no consistency. He's really tall and then almost average looking sometimes. I am 6'2" and taller in morning but I am never that much taller than a 6' Dave grohl without some advantage under my feet

Wow, I wouldn't have guessed 6'2 or 6'3. I saw Soundgarden live about a year ago at an event at RFK stadium in DC. I was pretty close to the front, and probably only 30 or 40 feet from him. He didn't strike me as a tall guy, I thought he was like 5'9. Its always really hard to guess someone's height on stage. Most musicians I see live have the opposite effect. They look massive on stage and then I see them after the set and I'm 3 inches taller than them.

Been learning the lyrics to The Keeper today and been playing along to his Letterman performance which is amazing. "I come from far away, my old boots don't know this ground, but they know it's real. A major with stroke D/B min 7 chord is similar to Ryan Adams "New York New York" "I always love you New York" but his bald guitarist plays like an F 6/ Dmin chord at the end of each phrase and its finger picked which is quite tricky to play in time and sing with it. Saw Soundgarden perform a rock song on Conan and Conan seemed to have near 3 inches on Chris, he didn't quite look 6'2 in comparison.

I buy 6'0.5" for Staley in the early 90s, but when his health started to deteriorate he looked about an inch shorter. I don't know if it was him loosing height of if it was just that his posture got really bad, but he went from looking only about .5" - .75" shorter than Cantrell to looking 1.5" shorter.

Do you think 189cm is possible? He did look 6ft2.5 in the 90's, and also, he gave his height as both 6ft2 and 6ft3. I am about 5ft8.5, and I'll say both 5'8 AND 5'9(either or) depending on my mood. So I think there is a good chance he is a fraction over the 6'2 mark, and the 6'3 was just him rounding up(he was probably younger) while the 6'2 claim was dropping the fraction. Just thought I'd drop that in, because he is my favorite vocalist.
Also, if he straightened up, he would be 189cm in this pic, IMHO.

Staley had a strong 5'11 ish. No more than that. He was pretty skinny, using boots in most of the time. Cantrell has a weak 6'1 (184-185). Kinney has 6'1 1/2. Mike Inez, a weak 5'9. Mike Starr, maybe has 5'8-5'9 range. Cornell's height is about 6'1 1/2 - 6'2.

Anyone know how tall the other members of Soundgarden are? None of their pics Ive seen are too good for guessing but based on videos Ben Shepperd looks to be even taller than Cornell, like at least 6' 4'', maybe hes less and im exaggerating cause hes lanky. Kim Thayil is obviously shorter but doesn't look too short, maybe 5' 10? Don't know about Matt Cameron.

He always looked around 6'1.5 to me. Staley wasn't much shorter either. He looked like a good 6'0.5 to me, and I always thought he had pretty long legs.

I think Jerry Cantrell could be pushing 6'2". I don't know how tall that makes Wilde. I'd say Cornell is not less than 6'2", no more than and 6'2.5". Layne Staley was somewhere between 5'11.5" - 6'0.5" I believe.

From intricately studying a variety of photographs, I believe that the heights of Rage Against The Machine are as follows:
Brad Wilk: 5' 9.5"
Zack De La Rocha: 5' 10"
Tom Morello: 5' 10.25"
Tim Commerford: 6' 0.75".

chester bennington from linkin park described him as almost 6'4" and he said that he felt short next to him. chester is about 5'11" so i'd say cornell might actually be a hair over 6'3 if he straightened up. and tanning definitely doesnt work for him.

good info on Zack de la Rocha there too glenn, i was just going to ask you about him, i would have guessed 5-9 but 5-10 sounds good too.
Jake Is Back that is correct, i think cantrell can look taller cos he is very slim, and the same with layne, although anything above 6-0 is tall in my mind.
annonymous what is up with that photo?? that is wierd, cornell is not less than 6-2.5... that would make matt cameron about 6-7 lol

Hey Chris175, I was wondering about Layne's height myself.
He is / was a hard guy to figure out, very skinny which makes him look taller than he really was. He was between 1 - 2 inches shorter than Jerry Cantrell, who's 6-1.
Also look at this video, interview with Cornell, Staley and Vedder.
Its too bad the quality isnt good enough to judge height, but he's def. taller than Vedder, so 5-11 sounds right.

Jay, when I say good proportions I mean it just as it sounds meaning that all his limbs look in proportion.

MD, when you say he has good proportions, do you mean he has long legs or short legs for his height? when I was in Korea, people said that I had "good" proportions because I had long legs for my height (probably because long legs is somewhat rare in asia, so it's considered "good")

At first, I was really thinking Chris was at least a full 6'3" barefoot, but I saw him on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno a night or two ago, and he really didn't look like a full 6'3" barefoot.
Perhaps its because he has good proportions, because most tall individuals usually have noctiably longer legs than torso. I think good proportions can actually make a taller person look shorter, and a shorter person look taller, and maybe that's the case, here.

I met Chris backstage at Lollapalooza when they came to Columbus. I was standing next to him and he was standing a couple of inches above me. I am 6'1 3/4'', he was about two and half inches above my head. Granted he was wearing thick soled Doc. Marten's. I would put him at close to 6'3''.

I've met him, and he is comfortably 6'3". Im 5'11 barefoot, with big boots on that day I was closer to 6'0". Chris with flat diesel sanshoes on was easily 3-4" taller. He kinda slouches, and stands a weird angles in audioslave pictures, usually he leans towards the camera which makes his height deceptive.

Do you know the height of the FNM guys? (I know Pattons 5-9)
Correct me on my guesses if you will:
Mike Bordin: 5-6
Billy Gould 5-7 to 5-8
Big Jim Martin: 6' (used to think he was taller)
Roddy Bottum: 6-1 to 6-2, maybe taller.
John Hudson (last guitar player): 5-9

I only thought Chris and Soundgardens bassplayer (Ben?) were pretty tall, Kim and Matt look average I think.
Alice in Chains was also a pretty tall band, around 6'1" except for their bass players. Such a shame that Layne Staley died....ever met any AIC-members Glenn?
Anyway, I alsoalways thought Hetfield was a tall guy about my size (6'4") untill he walked near me on the same floor level during a concert in the Netherlands in 1997.
I was about 5 meters away and I was also surprised he was much shorter than I imagined him. The thight black jeans, thin long legs and other short band-members indeed make you think him as a 6'3" plus guy. He's not so thin anymore nowadays...

Cornell was signing vinyl for me and my friend at Newark airport 1996,with Kim Thayall.Cornell or I forgot to get one album signed,so me not paying attention to what the auto looked like,and the fact that the albums had various members autos and members missing,left me confused.I walked away when my friend noticed Chris was missing on one lp.so I walk over to Chris just to have him tell me he signed it already,and even pointed to it.back over to my friend,and here we go again.my friend tells me to go back to Chris.Chris claims otherwise again and I snapped "stop being a dick,sign the f***ing album and take a photo with me,enough games and turning me down for a photo".he loved it and laughed.signed my lp and posed.classic time.I had a group photo with Soundgarden from 1990 I lost.for 6 years or so he wouldnt pose with people.

James has neck and back surgery in 2000. He's heavier today than he was 14 years ago. So is Kirk. Lars is in good shape, but bald.

I used to think James Hetfield was like 6'6" during the Justice and Black Album. He just seemed SO long and SO intimidating. I was shocked to find out that he was only 6'1", even though that is tall.

Most people don't realize it as because given the personality and the involvement with a certain kind of music, most find it bizzare for a guy to truly be tall in that field, or something.
He seriously looks a full 6'3" when you view pictures but you never put two and two together.

I've been a Soundgarden/Audioslave/Chris Cornell fan for years. Seen thousands of pics and a lot of video material...Chris is kinda weird guys, cause he is really slim and doesn't look really tall, but when U see him standing next to his bandmembers etc...U'll realize that he truly is 6'3''...

Iris, I think your estimate is based on watching MTV clips.
Most people don’t realise how tall Chris is til that meet him in person. Chris is 6’3”, I met him in 2003 and he was easily taller than me (I’m 5’11.5”).
And in regards to Eddie Vedder, he was with Chris Cornell in a band called Temple of the Dog, and the height difference is obvious because the top of Eddie’s head comes up to Chris’ chin.

A lot of interviewers are very surprised when meeting Chris Cornell for the first time because he is a tall guy. Tim Commerford (Audioslave bass player) is also a tall guy as well. Yeah I think Glenn is right about Morello, he’s got 3 inches on Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam).
