You are the man!!!!! Keep rocking!!!!!!

I'm proud to call myself a "Hefnerd" thank you for sharing your journey into metal. ✌💚🤘 (it's the only way to fly)

There's a ton of Soundgarden you need to hear. Pretty Noose, Fell On Black Days, The Day I Tried To Live, Slaves and Bulldozers, Black Hole Sun... the list goes on and on.

Definitely love your videos Alex, they're always a joy to watch and they always help to cheer me up and brighten my day ❤

Alex Hefner listen to sound garden burden in my hand and audioslave like a stone and stone temple pilots hungry

Chris is a king

The best of them all

Theeeee Greatest.

damn right. gone to soon :(

I keep waiting for the day when it doesn't hurt to hear Chris's voice. Still feels like it was just yesterday when we lost him.

Not might be, totally is lol

As from someone from MN, I've loved that line since I was 8 in 1996. Were a hardy folk up here. Not a shot Alex.

Agreed! I actually never took it as a shot at MN, but a shot at CA. "Looking California" to me evokes a sense of shallowness, being concerned with the superficial, where "Feeling Minnesota" evokes a sense of honesty, a place where folks are more genuine.

I’m from MN and I was not offended by that line at all. He was a phenomenal song writer.

Lookin' California ( lookin' tanned ) Feelin' Minnesota ( Feelin' cool )

He needs a computer that goes to 11.

"My volume is all the way up and I feel like it's not loud enough" - That could be Grunge's tag line.

Turn it up to eleven

He was so sexy at this time I wanted to be just like him I think I practiced throwing my nipples against chains didn’t work the same Chris your a sexy man bro

Him and Layne Staley are 1a and 1b.

I might agree with that

I guess but I think Layne was above Cornell in 1991

sorry but uhh... Ronnie. James. Dio.

@@ottogofast3882 as a singer? No..Laune couldn't hit the notes Chris could hit and that's an undisputed fact

Great song and band

That song is a right of passage into 90s grunge

Oh god yes, Cornell and Vedder, vocal perfection.

Defined react to Hunger Strike.

Brief supergroup with a purpose.

And 'Spoonman'

And slaves and bulldozers

and “The day I tried to live”

Yeah,that's what i called Grunge!!!

He needs to check out Mother Love Bone as well. Love rock awaits you!

Temple of the dog is never talked about enough... Eddie vedder and Chris Cornell we're neighbors. Talk about royalty

Yes. Do it.

@Christopher Bingham Show me how to Live or I am the Highway are both incredible and popular options for any reactor.

Am I the only one who likes Gasoline by Audioslave?

YES! Also, My Good Eye.

genghisconnie searching with my good eye closed.

@@ianmason2003 That's the one. Just keeping it brief. :)

OJ McBaggins nah man. They would have gone straight to the police no fucking about. Miss Chris and Soundgarden.

@@RussellSclafani that is correct.

@@RussellSclafani That is bollocks.

ABSOLUTELY

Screw that song. It was made to just sell stuff not much music talent in that one.

Black Hole Sun would get my vote also. You got a like from me. I DID just look it up, and in an interview in 2018 Kim Thayil said that they might come back, but not as Soundgarden. So there's that, oh well. :-) 😅

I only like black hole sun because the little guitar solo lol

yes

Can’t give this enough upvotes. Slaves and Bulldozers is way too under the radar for how unreal Cornell’s vocals are in it.

Hell yes, such an overlooked song and that song to me is just out of this world vocally, mindblowing

Goddamn right

Slaves and Bulldozers is incredible but my favourite vocal performance of Chris' is his Fell on Black Days SiriusXM video

It is

Dang straight bro!

Followed shortly by Johnny Cash's cover. You know it was good if the Man in Black saw fit to play it.

Jake Romero totally agree

Jake Romero my fav song

theres a ton of great songs by audioslave, just can't pick one :D Show me how to live, doesn't remind me, your time has come, be yourself, i am the highway, revelations Our dude should really listen to "Man or Animal". That song is freaking cool ;]

He reacted to an audioslave track a while ago. Can’t remember which one it was now though

@@tbear23 It was Cochise

"and run."

@@Ekklo then listen to Johnny Cash's version

So Good that the Man In Black did a cover. 🤗

@@biancadeleon8518 And also worth a listen.

@@kburke1933 Yasss. He did such a good job. That and his cover of NIN.

Actually, he wrote that line saying he was looking good on the outside but was cold and down inside. It's a snapshot of his life, so sad.

Yeah, generally Soundgarden lyrics aren't very upbeat.

Chris Cornell is the greatest singer ever in rock history! FTFY, no worries.

"You did forget Layne Staley. Chris is good, but I'd put him in 2nd. Layne is the better singer of the history of the rock! Who is Cornell, Freddie Mercury, Robert Plant, Dio, Halford? Lol, Layne nail all of them!" ~ Layne Staley fans.

@@skarlacauts sorry man have to disagree, Chris is MILES above the rest as a singer AND songwriter!!!

@@staceym7940 i was ironic.

@@skarlacauts love you brother and glad that we are both so passionate about how we feel and that is thanks to them!!!

And pretty much the greatest line up you would get..

@Christopher Bingham Shannon hoon too..he did give the fork necklace to Chris after all..

@Christopher Bingham Blame the labels, man. They decide what gets released and what doesn't. It's all in what they think will sell records. AND they're often wrong.

@Christopher Bingham absolutely spot on pal.

Andrew was post glam stadium rock more than "grunge".

This song changed my life and geared me towards a lifetime of listening to awesome music

What a song...

Spoonman is another good one. Also Blackhole Sun.

My Wave is a good one that doesn't get quite as much attention. Chris Cornell is one of the best rock vocalists of all time!

I always thought Fell On Black Days is the most accurate description of depression in music

Such a classic.

true. but Audioslave has some pretty great songs as well (not as many, but still pretty damn good)

I feel like audioslave is way more popular than Soundgarden :/

@@Lulustucru2393 🤦‍♂️ you're kidding me right?! Soundgarden is way more popular and way more legendary. They're part of the big 4 of grunge. Not to mention they wrote 2 of the greatest and most influential albums in heavy metal history, Badmotorfinger & Superunknown

@@mattds8035 Look at the view for the videos and songs for each band on youtube or streaming platform and you'll have your answer

@@Lulustucru2393 Dude KZfaq video views don't mean shit. It's the record sales that are what's important

Black Hole Sun also. :-) 👍😂

Ot's a great song!

Lol that reminded me of something Henry Rollins once said about Chris, that his voice could peel the paint off the walls

@@jonmarrie8093 That would be the quote from VH-1's behind the music, and exactly where I got it from. :) He was remarking about his position at the mic, chin hunched down, terrible form for a singer, yet still he peeled the paint from the ceiling with his voice.

@@bryanmadigan4203 yes I couldn't remember exactly where the quote was from

@@jonmarrie8093 I can remember this off hand, yet I still have to check Facebook for my wife's birthday... O.o

Eddie needs to be wrapped in cotton wool and then wrapped in bubble wrap..

Eddie is my boi! He's good for another few decades.

*he had the most amazing ever

Dude, it was a bad day for me for sure.

@@jamesmoncrief728 I HAD the chance to see both a month before and I couldn't afford to go. No money at the time

I got to see Soundgarden twice at Lollapalooza with AIC, RHCP, Beastie Boys, and Janes Addiction. The 90s were awesome when it came to music.

What!?! I didn't know that about Tom Petty (I don't watch tv or the news) Alex needs to do "Breakdown" :-( ❤RIP❤

@@mikehall4190 he passed away October 2017. Chris passed in May. Both got covered by Johnny Cash

Great choices!! Also Fell on Black Days and Just Like Suicide.

I'm in the my wave video lol

Jesus Christ Pose seems to be one of those sleeper songs. It would be awesome if Alex would react to it.

hard to pick one...

That's what I was thinking also. Gave your comment a like. Some Audioslave would also be good. :-) 👍👍😃

So glad someone beat me here with "Jesus Christ Pose." That's a wild little tune. I second this one!!!

I third the request for Jesus Christ Pose. That's what I came here to post.

Beyond the wheel!!!!!!!

No lie detected

Love Blow Up the Outside World

Audioslave, also. :-) 👍😁

He's done Cochise by Audioslave, which is a big reason why I was really surprised that he's never heard of Soundgarden.

Temple of the dog is definitely one of my faves

The acapella/ harmony part like 8 minutes in is unbelievable

Reach Down is one of my favorites.....easily.

@Amanda A. I really feel my age when a band like this gets played. I may be listening to contemporary music now a days, but the old familiar is good too. :-) 😅👍

@Amanda A. Well sure! I've still got a LOT of my "old" favorites on my mp3 player, but there's also "new" stuff on it also. It's not too much of a surprise anymore when I see that there are so many older folks watching new music videos. I've kept an open mind with contemporary music, and i'm still expanding my play lists. :-D 👍 😅

@Amanda A. Some new music I've really liked, and am listening to (between my old favorites, of course) now a days, "Ledger", "We Are The In Crowd" (I HIGHLY recommend that band) I just found them, and there is not one single song they do that I don't like. (23 of them) and one more, "Orianthi" she's a rocker from Australia, (her name is also the bands name) she does lead vocals AND lead guitar. And she shreds her guitar. Check them out, you won't be sorry. :-D 😅

Amanda, Michael, y'all both might like Bobaflex. Pretty badass modern rock group out of West Virginia, of all places. Very talented... Some great covers and lots of great original tunes, too, with a pretty unique sound. Will worth a listen. Their take on The Sound Of Silence is amazing - much closer to the original Simon & Garfunkel version vocally, but with a nice, mildly hard edge in the instrumental aspect. It's an interesting blend. They also did a pretty accurate cover of Hey You by Pink Floyd. As for originals, check out "Bury Me With My Guns On" and "Last Song", among others.

Curtis Wilson my thoughts exactly 🔥🤟

nd Eddie Vedder.

Idk, hard to top MJK, he excelled with Tool's new album :D With listening to Puscifer and Perfect Circle and how much variance he has, just a level above the others.

Also said to be the only guy to break more stools in the studio than Phil Anselmo

And Eddie
