If you've got the money . . . and we're talking pretty serious cash . . . Metallica is releasing the most badass turntable you've ever seen this summer.

It's not just a boring square or rectangle.  It's got jagged edges, kind of like the Metallica logo.  It has an S-shaped tone arm, and a transparent platter that your record sits on. Here's the catch:  It costs $1,599.

But that doesn't matter when you see it, you're totally gonna want it.

In death, it’s easy to elevate an entertainer’s talent or importance. But in the case of Chris Cornell, even before his shocking death in 2017, he was already considered one of the greatest voices in rock history.

From Soundgarden to Audioslave to his solo work, his vocals never failed to move a room. He could sing anything. Literally anything. Genre be damned!

In honor of his life, extraordinary career and remarkable voice, we gathered nine of our favorite Cornell cover songs he either recorded or performed live.

Spoiler: You’ll never hear “Ave Maria” the same way ever again.
