Not just grunge but in music period! You know for a fact he's fronting a band in heaven! R.I.P Chris Cornell.

Top 5 all time male vocalist, imo. In no particular order: Freddie Mercury, Layne Staley, Chris Cornell, Ronnie James dio, insert your personal choice here to round it out.

Forget grunge for a moment - Cornell is among the elites in any genre. His timbre is among the greats regardless. I suppose Blind Melon wasn’t grunge, but Shannon Hoon needs a mention considering he was around during the hay day of that music. That dude had some pipes.

I honestly never got the love affair with RJD...I personally think he's average at best

One of the great male ROCK vocalists of all time, not merely grunge. At that level, ranking them order seems impossible. He definitely deserves mention in the same breath as Robert Plant, Mercury, even Lennon. When it comes to pouring emotion on a song few singers, even in that rarefied field, can match Cornell. Definitely a gift to humanity. They all are.

There's more to it than that although we should reach out to those in need the question is why do people think there is no hope when clearly there is. When your dead then there is no hope it's over.

They can say it's a state of mind all they want. But the mind is the most powerful thing there is. And having a depressed "state of mind" is absolute hell. I've been there . It's not something you shake. The mind is an unbelievable thing. And at the same time, it's brutal and the worst thing that there is. Just crazy

@@MrDaryboy It's not that simple man. Ending it ends the pain in a severely depressed individuals mind. When you feel there's not an ounce of hope, and you can't control that sometimes because your mind is a huge part of who you. And that's what's telling you this. And you have to break into your sled and change it. And chemical imbalances all over the place are making it worse. It's like hacking yourself if you were a computer. And everytime you get close a new virus pops up. Or the keyboard breaks. Just hard. You can't shake it. You don't see the hope. People that done understand depression are like this. It's like trying to show a blind person how beautiful a sunset is. And for some reason they don't get it. They might smirk a little to get you to stop describing it, but they don't see it. Because they're blind. But the entire time you didn't know they were blind. It's like the mind can't see the hope. And your emotions can't feel it. And that blind person is walking around all day acting like he or she can see. No one notices. When really all there is, for him or her, is black. So it's hard. But yes there is help out there and you can make it through. Gotta reach out if you get to that point. Because remember, today might be the worst day of your life, but tomorrow might be the best. Holding out for one more day can change everything. I just wish someone was there when Chris was in that hotel room. He usually is with his wife. This time they didn't come. Also I don't want to get into a debate but we really don't know what happens when we go. I'm not religious, but I still hope Chris' soul or consciousness is on a postive journey because he must have been in hell to do what he did

@@el34glo59 Although I disagree I'll say first that was well said and I respect that. I actually have a lot of experience with depression, anxiety and even schizophrenia. All of which run in my family deep. I have been there and my point is the turning point for me was when I woke up and realized other things around me rather than just my own self. I've met a guy that was born with no legs that is an auto mechanic and litteraly climbs around the engine and goes to work. He has a better outlook than I did and he was born fucked up. Yes it is hard but yes life is worth it and as far as your point on where we go I'm not going there. I respect whatever anyone believes because that's you not me and me not you. That's something that is so individual specific that it's irrelevant to anyone outside that belief.

@@el34glo59 I've been there too. That's my point. I'm not debating you I'm offering advice because it's extremely helpful understanding that a tough life is better than no life. Someone either gets that or they don't.

Yes he was incredible

Tracey, listen to Sound Garden. It will blow your mind. Chris was the lead singer then took over Audio Slave. Give both a listen too.

Yes!!

Nobody can scream like him either, his voice is power. Look up Soundgarden - Jesus Christ Pose or Outshined

You are an angel!!

👍🏾

Perfect.

exactly!!!

Couldn't have said it better myself. You nailed it right on the head.

So im the only one who thinks that both Prince´s and Sinead´s versions are better by leaps and bounds... weird !

🙏🏾😔

Same here. I didn’t start exploring Audioslave and Soundgarden until my early 30s, 20 years after some of the songs had been released. It hurt when i heard. He was gone.

I agree. Chris Cornell 's death really upset me. Just so incredibly sad. Such a great artist. 💜

They were friends too right?

@@jamelakajamal Yes...they were very close. Chester sang Hallelujah at Chris's funeral. And not long after, took his own life! So damn sad.

@@jamelakajamal Chester died on the same day that would've been Chris' 53rd birthday. Little over two months apart from each other. =(

@@jamelakajamal Chester sang One More Light as tribute to Chris Cornell, the video has tons of reactions but it would be cool if you did it. The regular video is good too as a tribute video to Chester

@MJ Mckenrick me too... heart wrenching... two of my all time favorites

Like a sweet sun shower, another beautiful song of his

Don’t forget he was also a beautiful poet

You're referring to Cobain lol

Or “You never knew my mind” - Johnny cash cover

This is such a great cover. Almost like he actually wrote it and MJ covered it.

Same here

Literally crying and Chris just started strumming. RIP to the King

When you think you can handle singing along with him but damn, still feel that lump in my throat. Can't get past one line. :(

He’s Incredible 🙏🏾

Mine is more specific: love watchin black dudes cream when cornell sings

Thanks Erica🙏🏾

Hunger Strike is another great song, shows off the top of his range quite well when he's echoing Vedder

Studio version

My favorite song ever! What a senseless shame that such a beautiful and talented man was lost to suicide. RIP Chris Cornell 🙏🙏🙏❤❤💜

I second this

Yes Incredible

Thanks for watching🙏🏾

Yes indeed he would

Prince.... what a peculiar genius.

Prince actually covered pretty often

@@lawrencegray5403 Prince had no issue with performing covers live in a concert. He did feel that recording covers (and making money from them) was ripping off the originals. He did some hell raising covers. His rendition of Creep at Coachella 2008 had to be one of the best.

@@kd4inr Prince did "Creep" by Radiohead?! 😮

Definitely react to “Hunger Strike” Temple of the Dog Chris and Eddie killed it.

going back and really listening to all his music, its all macabre, depression, suicidal thoughts :(

Hi friend👋🏾

Jamel_AKA_Jamal Hi friend!!! 🤗🤗

Thanks🙏🏾I Appreciate you

🙏🏾

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Thanks LinZy🙏🏾

I thought this was Sinead o Connor

@@jarhead4ever1 Prince wrote this song but let Sinead Oconner release it 1st bc he luvd her voice & version. It was a huge hit & so I guess many do not know Prince wrote it. He released his own version later. This is Chris Cornell's very respectful tribute to Prince after his death. Chris Cornell died too not long after recording this. Prince wrote so many hit songs for successful artists that it is absolutely unbelievable. So awesome that Chris did this beautiful tribute for Prince. I love Sineads version too but technically Prince wrote the original song and owns it.

@@linzyaz920 thanks I never knew. I wasn't really a fan of either but I loved that song

@@jarhead4ever1 - No problemo. Glad to help. I always respect a great lyric and song writer even if I don't like the artist. Personally I love all three. I guess the fact that you are not a big fan of Prince or Chris but you are a fan of the song kinda goes to show how talented Prince was as a song writer bc it has lived on through so many different styles and genres. 👍💕

Thank You for watching🙏🏾

@S H I can imagine. They only had a small portion of the stage when i saw them and blew the doors off of G-N-R. I knew i was witnessing greatness at that moment.

@S H I once saw the GNR lineup with Scott Wieland as the frontman with Velvet Revolver from the 2nd row center and they were all on fire. Hoopastank was warm up and they were so far out of their element it wasn't funny. But I think with GNR it depends on which Axel shows up. The angry insane guy or the one that wants to put on a show for the fans.

I’m jealous you got to see him with Soundgarden. I saw him with Audioslave at Lollapolooza 2003. They stole that damn show and I’m glad I got to at least experience his voice live.

An ocean full of Axls is nothing compared to one drop of the incredible Chris Cornell. RIP♡

@@warrenjohnson8203 You: Fortunate. Me: Envious!

🙏🏾

Thanks for watching and stay tuned🙏🏾

Thanks🙏🏾

Thanks Jesse🙏🏾

🙏🏾

🙏🏾😔

Wow, you may be right! Tragic loss and worst of all is Justin Bieber is alive.

😢😢😢 That fact hurt even more. In my time of dying is a “Good Bye” song when you really listen to it. Jesus, gonna make my dyin’ easy...

🙏🏾😔

its been years and im still in the same boat.

I was just about to request the same song. Great song and great version too 👍

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mZthfrtkrJaxlas.html 👍🏾

🙏🏾

One of his best songs, and that's sayin' something. Sorely missed.
