Out of respect for Chris Cornell and his family, we will not be detailing his final days. His legacy should be his music. His legacy should be how he lived. Remember Chris Cornell for the life he lived, and the music he shared with us. AMAZON AUDIBLE LINK Total F*cking Godhead: The Biography of Chris Cornell - www.amazon.com/shop/rawmusictv

As a 75 year old grandma, Chris was a fresh breathe of music to me! Loved his music! Still do listen. Besides being a beautiful man, his voice was incredible!

I had a moment with Chris Cornell at the baggage claim at LGA Airport in NYC. He noticed I recognized him when we were standing next to each other. I greeted him, shook his hand told him I was a fan and enjoyed listening to his music (Soundgarden and Audioslave). He responded by saying thank you for listening, there's more to come.

The day Chris passed I kicked my 120 mg day oxy habit cold turkey over 17 days of P.A.W.S. And in his death he gave me life! I will always look as the day I was reborn!!! His music lives on in all who love and live there lives. Let’s remember mental health crisis in America and try to help one person through their black hole sun.

One of the best vocalists of all time! I'm a woman, and when other girls my age wanted to sing like Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston, I wanted to sound like Chris. 😂

No one sings like you anymore...

A few deaths have really shaken me, and Chris is one, along with Heath Ledger, Chester Bennington, and Keith Flint from The Prodigy. As someone who has suffered from depression for over 25 years, I know how hard it is to function under that black cloud. I just wish they would’ve held on. Life really does get better. My love to anyone fighting this out there. I hear you.

_“Depression is such a cruel punishment._ _There are no fevers, no rashes, no blood tests to send people scurrying in concern,_ _just the slow erosion of self, as insidious as cancer._ _And like cancer, it is essentially a solitary experience; a room in hell with only your name_ _on the door”_ Martha Manning

Chris Cornell helped me escape the clutches of severe depression. Listing to his songs was almost like having someone think and feel the same way as I did at the time. He somehow had the ability to capture in words what it feels like to suffer from depression and drug addiction, and he somehow had the skills to make u feel like it’s ok and that your not alone in all of this. R.I.P Chris Cornell

Chris Cornell has been hands down the hardest celebrity loss for me. My dad really got me into his music. Chris Cornell was an amazing artist, and on a personal level, one that really bared the strongest connection and channel of memories of my dad, who I lost at the end of 2008 when I was about to turn 18. When Chris took his own life in 2017, I was at my mom and stepdad's house, who I was living right next door to at the time. We were sitting in the livingroom watching the news when a segment came on about Chris Cornell taking his own life, and it was the first I had heard about it. I just kinda froze and my eyes welled up. My mom knew how much I adored the guy, and she saw how I was reacting and she was like "Yeah... I heard about this earlier. Are you gonna be okay?" And I was just like "Yeah... I think I just need to go home..." and I got home and sat on my couch and just started bawling. I'll never stop enjoying his music, but there are some days that listening to it will trigger some intense emotions...

Never forget these lyrics or Chris Cornell. Pearls and swine bereft of me Long and weary my road has been I was lost in the cities Alone in the hills No sorrow or pity for leaving I feel I am not your rolling wheels I am the highway I am not your carpet ride I am the sky Friends and liars don't wait for me I'll get on all by myself I put millions of miles Under my heels And still too close to you I feel I am not your rolling wheels I am the highway I am not your carpet ride I am the sky I am not your blowing wind I am the lightning I am not your autumn moon I am the night The night We miss you Chris, but we understand. R.I.P. Brother.

I first discovered Chris Cornell through Audioslave as a 12 year old. Along with Linkin Park, Pearl Jam, and Blue October, I finally felt like I could listen to music that spoke to me and my mental health. As I got older, I would begin to sing his tracks at karaoke to little fanfare. When he passed, I was devastated. I always wanted to meet him and show him how he impacted my life, and to hear that he took his own..it felt bleak. From 2017 to now, I STILL routinely sing his songs to dive bar crowds, to varying levels of applause; but more importantly, ive had people approach me afterward and we would have great discussions about how he changed us. How he gave us hope for OUR depression. OUR addictions. He made us stronger. Sp even though he is no longer with us, I can rest knowing that even if he didnt think so, he helped heal my generation. Thank you Chris. I hope your next life is kinder to you.

I can’t listen to Chris without a my heart skipping a beat and chills down my spine. Chris and Eddie Vedder, are my favourite male vocalists of all time!

He was such a beautiful soul. I am so grateful for the musical legacy he left.

Got to hang with him one time after a show at the foundation room in Dallas. He seemed so numb and bored. Nice guy and one of the greatest rock voices ever

One Irish-American, One Indian-American and One Japanese-American formed one of my favourite band of all time! Soundgarden Rocks!!

I'm 68 yrs young n have heard every type of music there is. Chris was a godsend for all of us. Very beautiful person inside n out. ❤. RIP 🙏

I saw him EVERY single time he was in Austin from 2003 until the last time he was here for a solo concert. He got me through my parents murder at 18 years young and ALL throughout my life! Chris Cornell is the best and I miss the hell out of him. May he R.I.P.

His voice literally changed my taste in music. Forever missed

I met Chris at my parents friend's house when I was about 14. He was married to someone related to their friends. My parents and them all went out to eat and to the bar. My parents said that people would double take but probably didn't believe it was him. He was super nice, worldy, intelligent.

Chris Cornell was so good looking & those beautiful eyes, they're so hypnotic ! Sad that his life was cut so short & people should be aware how depression really hits people.

Still makes me extremely sad that he is gone.

Chris will never be forgotten!!!! Like a stone is one of my favorites and will always hit me in the feels especially because his voice is just so beautiful and haunting

I suffer from depression and when it gets real bad I tend to listen to sad, angry and haunting types of music. I love grunge/ Alternative, that awesome seattle sound from the early 90's so I listen to that too. Some prefer happy but I'm the opposite because crying helps to get all the sadness and frustration out and I feel better for awhile. I remember back in 2011 when I quit Percocets cold turkey. I had been addicted since 2009 because I was taking them for sciatica but I kept asking my doctor for more each month until she stopped the prescription because she said I was taking more than a Cancer patient and she knew I had become addicted. I knew I was too because I was using them as an antidepressant, I thought it was my way out of depression but I was wrong because I went through the worst kind of depression imaginable. It was agonizing and debilitating, so bad I could barely get out of bed and I didn't want to visit my family or friends. I isolated myself and I listened to a lot of Chris's songs from his Soundgarden Grunge days. It really helped me get through that almost year long sadness. I cried a lot and was angry at myself and felt like Chris would relate to how I was feeling and I'll never forget the day I felt better and knew I had made it through that awful, dark year. It makes me sad to know Chris didn't make it through his life but If you believe in God as I do I know he's happy now and at peace. Sorry if all this sounds cheesy or exaggerated but it's the truth. I wish he knew how much he helped me get through the toughest year of my life.

The man had a great voice. His version of Nothing compares to you is mind blowing.

I am grateful to have been in my 20s during the peak of this music era, to have had the naivety as well as the energy to have had these musicians as the soundtrack of the most carefree decade of my life. 💕

It amazes me how sensitive this generation of people are. Some of the most heartfelt music comes from the 90s.

There's only ever been a few times when the death of a "celebrity" affected me emotionally. Chris Cornell was one of them.

I have never cried over a celebrity death until Chris Cornell's. I was so shocked and his voice still haunts me so much when I hear it now. I am going to get a tribute tattoo with the lyrics "to be yourself is all that you can do."

I couldn’t listen to anything Chris sang on for a long time after the sad news. So this is really helpful to me.

Chester lived where i grew up for the last 15 years of his life, he was a fixture in our community and frequented the same breakfast spot, ran into him several times. He had great energy and was always so nice, a good dad too. I hope whereverr he is, he found peace

Ive played professionally for over 20 years now, and Chris has always been the biggest influence to my songwriting. I could connect with his music, and his voice more than any other rock band I grew up on. I remember when he passed those people around me that were in my inner circle were calling me to check on me to see if I was ok and how I was taking the news. I grieved his loss really hard. I still have a hard time hearing him on certain tracks, if I'm emotionally drained ill avoid his music altogether. Many a time I will go for a cruise and I'm moved to tears often singing to the steering wheel when I know I need a good cry. He has contributed so much to Rock n Roll and to my life as a working musician, for that I am eternally grateful. RIP Chris! See u when I see u.

I cried the day Chris passed, I’m crying watching this documentary 😢😭

The classic Black Irish beauty . The pale skin, dark hair & those dreamy blue eyes

Grunge... The second I heard the new age rock, I was in love. My generation was blessed to bring it front and center. Kids across all walks of life joined together essentially throwing grunge in the spotlight. Amazing to be a part of this new sound.

I want to add that I was only able to see him live once as I live in Australia. I came out of the theatre that night thinking about how much respect for him I felt & seeing interviews with him made it only grow greater. Him passing away was such a terrible loss , which with other things made it a time of deep depression. It reminds me of the lyrics from the song Vincent - the world was not for someone as beautiful as you. He was beautiful on the inside & out & I count myself very lucky when I see him in my dreams where he’s always lovely & happy. He will be with me when I go as “I am the Highway “ is my funeral song . Thinking of him with kindness & love . ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I saw him when he was doing his solo tour, so he performed all his songs from Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog and Autoslave. It was awesome experience!

Greatest of all time!! Never forgotten

We will never forget you Chris, forever loved, always missed.💔

Never forget hearing Soundgarden for first time as a teenager in Australia late 80’s . My mates and I were hooked from first listen and still all enjoy each other’s company in 2022 with Soundgarden playing loud . I feel they were a huge part in helping forge great lifelong friendships. The power of music .

I think about Chris often and tears come to my eyes. His music was there in a deep, dark time in my life, bonding me to him forever. I love Chris Cornell and I miss him every day like I knew him.

I was lucky enough to win back stage passes for SG & GnR. I got to meet Chris, we connected because we had long hair He was more than cool. It’s like he knew me forever. We spoke as life long friends. I miss him and my ears are still sad 😢

No one sang like him anymore when he left us....But his songwriting allowed him to outlast all those screeching front men that all did indeed sound similar. His head voice plus the imagery of Pink Floyd transcended everything. He is my GOAT.

This is a great presentation of the life of one of the best modern songwriters. He had a genius that was undeniable. It is sad that the weight of the downward spiral overpowered his drive for love life and success. I pine the loss of Chris quite frequently. I learned his music, because it was worth my time. Thanks to the team that researched and produced this piece. We all needed it.

I still can’t believe he’s no longer here ! 💕😢💕

I love this man so much. Your voice will always haunt me Chris. You left a mark.

Rest in peace Chris Cornell... You were one of the best rockers out there. You will NEVER be forgotten. Rock on in Heaven my brother!

I too could only listen to Soundgarden again, this year. I played them a lot when I lived by myself in around 93, 94. We didn’t really have any video clips in Australia then, so it was just the CD and your ears. The emotion of the music really resonated with me in my early 20s. Thank you to all members of Soundgarden and your families for the music and the memories. X

Best metal vocalist to ever live. RIP Chris

I didn't know much about Chris Cornell apart from the music they played on TV. Growing up I did not have access to much.. but I have never cried as much as I did until I heard the news of his passing Thank you so much for taking us on this journey. Sending love to his family and all who were touched by his music. As much as this has been said...it is still so true- No one sings like you anymore

His solo career, songbook tours, reunion with SG, etc were also important. The suggestion that a strictly religious upbringing should have prevented aberrant behavior is definitely controvertial. I appreciate the effort to illuminate Chris' life and legacy.

I have lived with massive depression for the past 18 years. It got worse for me in 2017 when my daughter disowned me because of my 2nd marriage. One thing g that kept me going were Chris's solo albums, especially Higher Truth. I'd listen and sing almost daily to keep me going. Songs like The Keeper, Seasons and others. When I woke up a d read the news of his death, I cried hard as if a close family member passed. I still listen to his music and PJ, FF and others to keep me going. I miss him. I wish I could have talked with him about depression. I still don't know a way out.

RIP Chris. I’ve struggled with depression for many years now. When I really get down to thinking about Chris’s death, it makes me so sad and I have to struggle not to cry. His life brought about so many things that I’m glad to have incorporated into my own life. Thank you, Chris. Your music has done wonders for me.

Chris and Layne were (are) two of my top 5 lead singers all-time. What I liked most abt grunge was that it killed glam/hair metal.

Audioslave have got me through so many dark days and I’m forever grateful for Chris Cornell’s influence and how he transposed his darkest struggles into incredible art. So sad that he had to go so young though. Love the man 😓

So relevant to my childhood, love Chris.

I'm 63 loved Chris Cornell

This guy is the Jim Morrison of our time. Way beyond normal. Far afield, creatively.

I got to see him in Tuscaloosa right before he passed away,the person that was supposed to go with me didn’t want to go that night I went alone, I’m so very glad I did only wish I didn’t drink so much cause I would have remembered more completely sober,God bless Chris he was truly awesome

Audioslave started it all for me, I went back and listened to soungarden and temple. One of my favorite singers of all time. Hope the peace has found u.

As someone who is agoraphobic, I am compelled to tell you that agoraphobia is fearing and avoiding places or situations that might cause panic and feelings of being trapped, helpless or embarrassed. Not open spaces.

This was released on a terrible memory day for me... i just saw this in my feed for the first time. :( the day he died I was sitting in a bar... we played Chris Cornell and sang along with friends. It was a sad day... he definitely made such an impact in my life. I find myself listening to him so much lately. I sing along to Nothing Compares to YOU often, like on repeat. :( never met him...never even saw a show of his. But I imagine it would have been a surreal moment. He had such a sadness in his eyes towards the end. The Day I tried to live.... oh how I wish you did! :( :( :( love you! :(

These documentaries almost always forget to mention the band Queensryche. It was definitely part of our little Seattle scene at the time -- hence Jet City Woman! News of Cornell's death was crushing. So many deaths, so much pain. The rain here really does take its toll.

That man was so gorgeous. RIP Chris

He overcame so much. Our own inner critic and inner demons can sometimes be too much. This man was a beautiful person inside and out. But no matter how many times he was told that or how many awards he won. That darkness inside lingered. Rip Brother

On a shallow note...he’s so pretty

I was 5 months older than Chris and had so much in common, we were both spent a lot of time alone in our youth and had religion rammed down our throat, even down to the music that we listened to growing up. when he created his style of music it just resonates with my heart and soul... It did back then and still does to this day...

Shadow of the sun still gives me chills his vocals are incredible

In 1989 for 1990, not sure now. My friends and I went to see Faith No More in Voivod at Saint Andrews hall in Detroit. There was some band that opened up the show called Soundgarden, that we had never heard of. We smoked a fat joint in the crowd and got ready for the show. It was the louder than love tour. We left that concert talking nothing about the other bands. I just heard a voice that I swear I could have heard six blocks away! It was the greatest live vocals I've ever heard to this day! And I've seen over 300 bands. Chris Cornell instantly became my favorite singer and songwriter. Louder than love didn't leave my car stereo for months! I truly miss you Chris, rest in peace.

I miss you Chrissy! Thank you for ALL of the advice that you gave to me. I even appreciate being scolded for being lazy with my writing. I would give anything to hear you scold me again. Hugs and loves. 🤍🖤🤍

It's an honor to have your music fill my ears Chris. Thank you for everything. We miss you ❤️❤️

We lost Chester, Chris, and Anthony Bourdain I'm less than two years. Three of my absolute favorite "famous men" ever. A rough couple years.

He is AMAZING! My dad always played his music for me and my brothers to get up before school. I still love it 😍

My first and only live show I seen with Soundgarden in 2012, was the best concert I ever went to. He played until they turned the light's out. We miss you brother...

Every time I hear his songs I feel emotional. I loved Chris Cornell, he helped me through some hard times. Thank you Chris.

Was blessed to see him 3rd row at the Magestic Theatre in Dallas, 11/1/15. He played 2.5 hours and 29 songs without stopping. Thank You, Chris 🕊️🕊️🕊️

I feel so privileged to have seen Chris Cornell live at an acoustic concert in Rome in April 2016. I never, ever would have imagined he would be gone within a year! And when he did go, I wasn't able to listen to his music for a couple of years at least - the pain of his untimely passing was so great, it was like rubbing salt in a wound!

Outshined is my favorite Soundgarden song. This mini-documentary taught me so many reasons why and so much more than I ever thought I would know. Thank you, creator of this video and thank you Chris for making the music you did, and the music you loved to make. RIP

Thank you RawMusic for this Chris Cornell documentary, which doesn't use other's opinions, but uses Chris's OWN words & experiences. Also, thanks a million for leaving Chris's memory at a higher point, which is what we should remember. A musician myself, feel like Chris is my twin Brother...I know what hopelessness is, too...he spoke for so many & so proud he received the Stevie Ray Vaughan Foundation award for tirelessly helping others find sobriety for over 12 years. He is an inspiration everyday & an unparalleled songwriter, musician & human soul, no matter what music genre you are oriented to, Chris had something to say to everyone. His VOICE can make your bones cry & there wasn't a song he could not sing & make it even better, make it his own, over & above his OWN brilliant songs. "I Am the Highway" - and may Chris Cornell rest in eternal glory looking down at all the GOOD he has done in the lives of people he touched. Thank you again, RawMusic for making this an inspiration to everyone & not dwelling on one bad day...and Chris's words live forever for us all to learn by.

I remember walking into a music store when i was 12 , my grandmother was buying and asked me to pick out any 1 cassette tape i wanted to buy.. The audioslave cassette ( first album ) kinda called out to me and had a sticker on it " Grammy award nominated members from RATM and soundgarden " ... I had to get it Went home and pulled out the inlay , it had a bunch of pictures and lyrics to all the songs. I heard that album twice back to back the same day . I've heard it countless times since then... I miss Chris and his voice, i got into soundgarden only after I heard audioslave.

I have loved him (in every way) since day one. He has always been my favorite by far. I can't explain the emotion that comes over me when I see or hear him talk or sing. He is a rock god. His talent just blows my mind and his death was one of the saddest days in rock. You will be forever misses Chris. RIP 💗

How can one man be so beautiful!! In your house I long to be......... RIP Chris thank you for writing part of the soundtrack of my life. 💓

I miss him so much. I miss Soundgarden too.😢🖤

That hauntingly honest voice that I miss so much. Chris had alot to say. The truth he and, Chester had to say will come out.

My heart broke into a million pieces on that fateful day...but I'm so grateful for all of the music that he left for us to enjoy. When I listen to Chris it sounds like he's singing to me, personally. I have a feeling most people feel that way and that is why he is so beloved throughout the world. And he always will be.

One of the best voices in the rock and or roll scene in this time and age for a long long time to be!!!

I'm glad they didn't dwell on his death, and how he died. It was short obviously, but straight to the point. Cudos. Cheers from Tom in Sydney Australia.

Heaven send hell away No one sings like you anymore. R.I.P Chris.

Everyone wanted a peice of his soul. Puts a much stronger meaning to most of his songs .

As a random guy who suffers from depression, bipolar, anxiety, adhd, and a number of mental illness. A kid who grew up in a toxic abusive home, currently in the middle of a divorce. Life has always been nothing but darkness and pain. But Chris and his music was the only light I could turn to, it was my hope, my will to continue on. Chris was my hero, he helped me more than he could ever know and he never even met me or knew I existed. The day he died was a bad day for me. I was already sick and in the hospital and the news that my hero died from suicide was the worst day of my life, the worst birthday of my life, my birthday will never be the same because I will forever be haunted with the knowledge that the guy who saved me from suicide actually died from suicide. I always thought that if Chris could continue to move forward and keep fighting then so could I, but now I dont know.

Think about how incredible the band is in heaven...oh man..voice of an angel 😇

Thank you, God, for sharing Chris Cornell with us.

Loved him. Beauty with the most beautiful voice!

A truly gifted and inspirational talent with a voice unmatched by any other male vocalists known to me. This mans music literally changed my life, I wish I could somehow repay him for the inspiration his work gave me.

Good documentary... Such a pity that towards the end of it, his life was "sugar -coated"... One day the truth will out and hopefully justice will be served to those who made his final years not worth living, driving him to the point of no return... May his soul rest in peace....

I would recognise Chris's voice everywhere 💔

His death hurt my childhood idol so much that he died shortly after. RIP Chris and Chester :(

I turned up to work at midday, and a guy said "Why haven't you taken the day off?"...and I looked at him confused and said "I feel fine". And he said, "Haven't you heard? Chris Cornell committed suicide. He's dead." I walked out of the office before it sunk in, and I started shaking and weeping. Everything was spinning and I felt weak. I walked off to a quiet part of the yard and just let go. Nothing was worth a flying $#!+ anymore. I was there from Loud Love, and had seen him twice, and he was as big as the Sun, so big, so bright, and he owned it. The world is a quiet and meek place without him. R.I.P CC

Chris' death woke me up to my own self destruction. In that respect he saved my life. His voice, music and words have been a therapy to me. I love him like a brother I never met.

He was an activist against child trafficking and such with 4 other ppl. Though I think this was more recent, some believe its suspiciously linked to his death.
