Saw a few talking about how Chris died or who is responsible. Talking "Chris was murdered"?! HTF would you know? Did your friend tell you? Your many years of experience as a homicide detective?? Or just blowing s*** out of your ass? His family may not read these comments but I bet they find their way back to the family. Don't be that A- Hole.

Chris Cornell is probably one of the best male singers in the last twenty years..

"A poet is an unhappy being whose heart it torn by secret sufferings, but whose lips are so strangely formed that when the sighs and the cries escape them, they sound like beautiful music... and then people crowd about the poet and say to him: "Sing for us soon again;" that is as much as to say. "May new sufferings torment your soul." - Søren Kierkegaard

12-14-95. My only brother took his life in the same manner as Chris. He was 35. Best guy you would ever want to know. Handsome, smart, kind and generous. Unfortunately, I discovered his body. Fortunately, my parents did not. Some wounds will never heal. Thank you for sharing your music with all of us Chris, and thank you Chuck for being my big brother. God bless you both for eternity.

no one sings like you anymore

Chris, Your song has ended... and yet, the melody will forever linger on Rest in Peace A true fan

For all the people bitching about the video quality...Look at the upload date. In 2007, 720p was still pretty new, and most commonly used computers at the time couldn't handle it. If you can't watch it, just listen.

"Times are gone for honest men, and sometimes far too long for snakes." these lyrics feel more relevant than ever

I prefer this version. His emotion, the way he emotes, the way he sits in the stool, the way he strokes the strings on his guitar, the way his face is blackened out, the intimacy I feel from this man delivers a beautiful message about the song that he is singing. I listened to this during the eclipse and it made me feel like I mattered and didn't matter at all..and that all things matter in the grand design. The blackhole sun purifies me.

R.I.P Chris Cornell

One of the best singers of all time!!!Rest in peace ... :(

This is one of those special songs that when you hear it for the first time, it’s the only thing you listen to for the next three or four days and I love it.

It's not a voice.... It's a blessing. F'ing insane song with more meaning than you and I will ever know. I miss this departed soul every day. If you ask me, he got out of here just in time.

RIP man... You made it easier to deal with shit.

One of the better voices in the industry today - hands down.

I listen to this at least once a day. I've been in that deep, dark place called depression before.... I'm so sorry to you Chris, your wife and your beautiful girls that you couldn't find a way out. Depression is a real bitch. Your music is now your legacy, and I will treasure it every day that I'm alive. Thank you for the memories Chris, RIP.

Chris sings the chorus and his own back up vocals damn only Chris

What do you need to make one of the best videos on youtube? A guitar, a microphone and Chris Cornell. RIP :'(

The music of the 90's was dark and depressing, but helatiously moving. I was struggling with depression and couldn't take a long listen to as it would send me in a spiral, but damn if it didn't hit me where I lived.

When he sings “In my youth I prey to keep” when he hits the “I” you get a quick short blast of the powerful Cornell pipes!!! One hell of a voice.

In my eyes, indisposed In disguises no one knows Hides the face, lies the snake The sun in my disgrace Boiling heat, summer stench 'Neath the black the sky looks dead Call my name through the cream And I'll hear you scream again Black hole sun Won't you come And wash away the rain Black hole sun Won't you come Won't you come (won't you come) Stuttering, cold and damp Steal the warm wind tired friend Times are gone for honest men And sometimes far too long for snakes In my shoes, a walking sleep And my youth I pray to keep Heaven sent hell away No one sings like you anymore Black hole sun Won't you come And wash away the rain Black hole sun Won't you come Won't you come Black hole sun Won't you come And wash away the rain Black hole sun Won't you come Won't you come (black…

The views can't be right because I alone have watched this 10,000,000+ times.

this guy has one of the most unique and amazing voices of his time

This stripped back version is so awesome. You appreciate the song in a much different way. Such a great song.

I love listening to this version Black Hole Sun Chris's voice it's just the best.

No one sings like you, anymore ...

This man is a legend in our life time, every time I listen to his music, he inspires me so much. Such a great artist, this is real music!

Whenever I get depressed I go to Chris. He knew how I feel every time. Every time it’s there. Songs that don’t make sense with meaning in the feeling. Sad tears in my eyes-tears that don’t come out anymore. Feeling in my gut that just won’t go away. People thoughtlessly taking not giving. Entitled depravity. Selfishness in the center. Ugliness. I have been crucified with Christ.

He's a poet, muse, singer, legend Best version of this song ever.

And while most will remember him as the bare cheasted rock god with a powerhouse of a voice that he was and had, Chris Cornell in my heart and mind will be at his purest in this video. An immensly talented singer songwriter with only his voice and guitar, singing one of the most uniquely beautiful songs of our time with a pair of sandals nonetheless. Thank you for everything brother, you made an impact on my life without even knowing it, and were one of the main reasons for my decision to pursue a life in music, and I will be forever grateful. At the same time devastated but privlieged to have witnessed your talent, till we see each other some day.

no one sings like you anymore!

Even now, I still get chills!

how can anybody hate this mans voice. distinctive and extinct, beautiful, takes me to that place. loved you Chris your art your songs

no one sings like you anymore, Chris.

Chris Cornell will never die out. His voice is a beautiful gift to us . Both hard and acoustic . I remember when his first song hit mtv. I was like wow he is a sexy beast and a killer voice. Then he started to do acoustic stuff after Temple of the dogs and it made me love him more. Him and Eddie Vedder can sing almost anything.

I miss this guy. He sings like nobody else. RIP brother

His voice is hauntingly beautiful...I miss you Chris...

You will be in my prayers...NO ONE SINGS LIKE YOU ANYMORE 🙏🌹🔥

I like this version even more than the studio one.

Thank you Chris for being there - see you again my friend 🙏🏻

My favourite voice in Rock History

i cried when I found out, It was my birthday. Ive known his voice for as long as I can remember, Thankyou for uploading, Bless all who love him, bless his family, I cried, writing this. pick your favorite soundgarden album guys, play it, rite now, in his honor. Badmotorfinger~turns phone off~clicks play~the world can wait~I have something beautiful to do Thankyou Chris Love, Nicky

"Hang my head Drown my fear Till you all just Disappeard" RIP Chris 🇮🇹

The best version of this song ever.... You were the voice of my generation, my teenage years, my adulthood. May you RIP Chris.

My cousin died at the age of 16 over 20 years ago and had this song at his funeral. Such a deep and amazing song...RIP cous xxx

Chris was one of the best rock lyricists of all time in addition to having one of the greatest voices in all of rock. So sad about the loss. Long live him, RIP.

NO ONE SINGS LIKE YOU ANYMORE ~ ♡♡♡♡♡

A man's voice and his guitar is about as simple and pure as it can get. Thanks.

24 and still inlove with these kind of music

Has it come, the Black Hole Sun? Will it wash our tears away? It has come, but our tears remain. RIP, Chris.

I can't believe it...Chris died...God I must be dreaming...Oh no...we lost one of the greatest artists of all time...I know his voice will remain forever in our hearts. Rest in peace, Chris Cornell...

This version never gets old. What an Infkncredible voice Chris had! #RockGod....Rest easy brother.

It doesn''t get better than this. I miss you Chris.

in my eyes, indisposed in disguise as no one knows hides the face, lies the snake and the sun in my disgrace

Man. I guess you don't really realize how much you like someone till they are gone. I was certainly a fan. I'm a 44 year old white guy. I was not prepared for how bad I feel that he is gone. We lost a voice of a generation. You will be missed R.I.P. C.C.

that vocal solo at the end still gives me goosebumps... just amazing.

Chris lives on my friends, or we would not still be here talking about him and enjoying this great acoustic version of Black Hole Sun. I still play his songs every day on guitar, and passed his music on to my daughter who loves his music as well. Rock on Chris.

RIP to the creator of this underrated masterpiece

Thank you very much Folaholic for posting this video, I keep coming back to it every now and then. A guy and his guitar, and a voice gods can only dream of.

This is an amazing acoustic performance of this song.

This video should be declared a national treasure. I need it to be there...always RIP Chris

I'm actually super depressed. there's been about 1 million new views in just over 36 hours... idgaf anymore because the reason for that is absolutely horrid.. being reminded every second that he committed suicide😥😞 plus flooded with hundreds of comments. but Chris Cornell was my hero as a teenager ( I posted this when I was 17).. still is now, and I won't get over this anytime soon.. and I'm glad so many others feel the same way about beautiful Chris.

*My KZfaq Comments Five Months Ago* This is my favorite way to hear Chris Cornell: singing alone with his acoustic guitar. If you like this, too, I highly recommend his Songbook CD. I saw him on his Songbook tour twice and would've seen him every night of his tour if I could have. I hope he continues to do solo work and solo tours, even when he has Soundgarden things going on. I support all of his music. He is a living legend! ~Musical One Owner & Manager of the Chris Cornell Community on Google+

I remember hearing this song for the first time in the spring of 1994 when I was just turning 25... Would do anything to live that summer over again.... The music, the love, the fun...

Listening to Chris pour out his all with that soulful voice then hearing the video end with that god awful yahoo soundbite lol

awesome version. he sang from his heart and soul and it was truly felt. RIP and blessed journey

A Genius singing a staggeringly great song in flip-flops, gives you more faith in Creative Talent; even though the Legend is sadly no longer with us. Chris you made the world so much better when you were here. Simply Beautiful, both Artist and Song. REALLY wish you were still here.

The black hole you left in our hearts will never heal, Chris. You are sorely missed. At least you played for your fans before checking out. That's very nice of you. Thank you for getting me through my teenage years. You were an awesome human being and a very phenomenal artist. Rest easy, friend.

That guy from Audioslave did a decent job on this Soundgarden song.

I miss listening to him without utter sadness.. I know that day will come again, somewhat, but it will be a while!

My dad cried when Chris Cornell passed. I put this song on at a pool hall not thinking about that and he shed a tear once again.

I was fortunate enough to meet Chris about 10 years ago at the music studio I was interning at. He was performing a solo show in Cleveland that night so he came to record a podcast for AP Magazine that was upstairs from the studio. He was very friendly. I shook his hand and told him I love everything he's done. I sat and listened intently as he spoke about his life and the history of grunge/his entire career. It was magical. He was a magical person. Such a goddamn shame we lost him. RIP to one of the greatest voices/artists music has ever known.

P.S. in defense of Fola Romero: People, can you not appreciate the masterfulness of this song despite the low video resolution? Grow up and look past it to Chris' brilliance! Fola, thanks so much for posting this.

Artist are always drawn by the life of pain, it’s the only way we can ever deal. Just ask Hemingway. A man like this gave life meaning. A true artist

When I listen, I feel such an aching sense of loss. Hope you're at peace. Thank you.

Greatest song i ever heard, and i've heard almost everything at my 60's ..........

It's really hard to find any fault in this, so don't even try. Just sit back and enjoy the sweet bliss of what is everything Chris Cornell.

When you're about to fall asleep and the teacher yells your name in class. (2.22)

Chris’s voice is so beautiful but breaks my heart. His voice, for some reason, makes me think that this is what Heaven sounds like.

I was in my mid-twenties when "grunge" rock started in the early 90's. I listened to a few of the bands - Soundgarden was one. It was his voice that sold me on the band. So much power, range, and it hit home with me. Then it was the lyrics, and finally the music itself. Well time goes on and things change - I lost track of time and Chris' music slipped away from me. I'd only recently re-discovered him, going back through Audioslave and finally his solo work. I never thought his passing would affect me the way it has. Thank you, Fola, for sharing this with us. It means a lot to many of us.

And people say there's no soul in any music after the 70s

One of the greatest voices to ever be in music. R.I.P Chris

No one will ever be able to match chris's voice so unique...you was and always will be cut above the rest I hope you found peace my friend

My idol is gone, there hasn’t been a day that’s gone by that I haven’t missed him and the potential for future songs and albums, by god I cried when he died, I still cry when I hear certain songs of his because he touched my soul through his music like he did several others, he was by far one of the best singers the world has ever heard or ever will heard

No one sings like you anymore....... R.I.P Chris Cornell

His voice... it's one of a kind, once in a lifetime. RIP Chris x

Thank you Mr. Chris Cornell. Hope you are making music on the other side as well. I wasn’t born when this song came out, but I can relate so much through his singing and the lyrics. Get goosebumps every time I hear this song or play it on the guitar.

If this version of this song doesn't touch your soul, nothing will.

Tragic passing. 😢 Rest In Peace to a rock icon and incredible human being. Had the pleasure of seeing him perform two weeks ago. Damn. 😪

Who is cutting onions? Fuck. Rest in peace. :(

6 years gone today… forever missed 💔

This version of this song washes over me like warm river water.

"No one sings like you anymore" R.I.P. Chris Cornell another legend gone

Beautiful. Sent chills down my spine

it's amazing that the quality of this video doesn't reduce Chris voice quality.

Love this song 🌔 tears coming... Beautiful Chris u will be missed..❤ "sometimes the noise gets too loud" RIP....LUV.. 💜🎶🎸🌟 2017

What a freaking voice. He is legend.

I was a 90’s teen. My then bf loved this song when it came out. Until today I’ve never bothered to actually listen to the lyrics though I know then by heart. Chris was a talent unmatched. His death was a tragedy. We needed many more years with him. All the greats are taken from us too soon. I hope I get to meet him in Heaven. RIP amazing man.

the Rock version and the acoustic version is equally beautiful. Thank you for the music Cris 😔🙏🏻

rest in paradise another great singer gone to soon
