You’ve just stumbled across THE BEST VOICE in rock history. Very deep catalogue!!! Audioslave - Cochise, Soundgarden - Outshined, Jesus Christ Pose. Great intro to his other work. Chris was the best.

Chris was known in certain circles as “The Voice”. To us, his fans, he is a healer, friend, therapist and confidant. I always turn to Chris when I need comforting. He was the only one with me in my darkest hours. And I am grateful. Thank you. And thank you Chris. For everything. ♥️

He is a founding father for multiple music generations, his legacy will always be known by all rock artist.

If you're not familiar with his band, Soundgarden, it was a huge band in the 90s, up there with Pearl Jam and Nirvana as some of the largest names in grunge rock and alternative. Their songs "Black Hole Song", "Spoonman", and "Burden in my Hand" are all fantastic. They also did a song called "Hunger Strike" that was a collaboration with Pearl Jam under the name "Temple of the Dog" that was really good as well. He later formed Audioslave with members of Rage Against the Machine, and they had some great songs too like "Cochise" and "Like a Stone". Chris was an amazing singer. There are some covers where the cover is so good they make it their own - this is one of those covers for sure. The second his lyrics start at 1:07, this song becomes Chris' song now. There is just so much power in his voice without him even exerting himself in the slightest. Chris tragically passed in 2017 from suicide after a relapse after many years sober. He had a lot of demons, pain, and suffered from anxiety and depression for many years. He was only 52.

Now you absolutely have to check out Chris's version of "Billie Jean" It will stun you!

I can barely watch this without crying. Chris was one of few surviving pioneers of the 90’s rock. Lead singer of Soundgarden, Audio Slave and Temple of the Dog. He committed suicide and broke the worlds heart. One of the most beautiful voices in the business. Check out Say Hello To Heaven if you want to REALLY hear his remarkable, breathtaking pipes.

RIP To the legend Chris Cornell

Uh oh now you did it. He was great in Soundgarden and Audioslave, but in later years I really really love his solo acoustic stuff like this. He does incredible originals, some songs from the bands that he had been in, and then some fantastic covers. There's a video floating around KZfaq of him performing in front of a huge arena with just him and his guitar and he is doing a cover of John Lennon's Imagine. It's the best cover of that I have ever heard. He also covers Michael Jackson, Billie Jean. This Prince cover (made famous by the young Irish singer Sinead O'Connor), isn't in front of a large audience but like the band in a studio audience I think. But some of the others, it's a huge crowd and just the audience response is priceless. In addition to the James Bond theme that someone else mentioned which is fantastic by the way, he also did one not long before he died that I just love so much. It's so powerful. It was his contribution to a documentary that was being made about the plight of refugees in general, and in this case it focused a lot on this one group of Syrians, including children and the elderly, that were really getting the bad end of the deal. This song is great. His singing is so strong and emotional, and then the music video with it as it cuts back and forth from him singing in the studio contains scenes from the actual movie and they are put together with the music in such a visceral powerful way. Some of it is extremely disturbing and some of it is just so heartwarming and makes your allergies act up. It's called, The Promise. You absolutely have to check it out. It's very easy to find on KZfaq.

The most beautiful version sung by one of the most beautiful voices. A massive, tragic loss the day he passed. As others have said, check out his bands, his other music, collaborations with Eddie Vedder etc etc etc. Wow, I could go on and on about him. Sorely missed 💔

He's one of the finest voices ro ever grace my life. I'm honored to be a fan for decades

He was the lead singer with Soundgarden and Audioslave. He does a beautiful version of 'Billie Jean' as well.

I love watching people react to this man. First time, fifty first time, just seeing the awe and amazement on the faces 😗👌 A unique, unequaled, truly incredible voice that touches the soul every time. He is loved and missed so greatly 😢

Chris also did the theme song for the James Bond movie Casino Royale. The song is titled " You know my name". He was a great singer,may he rest in peace.

I’m still amazed at the number of people who don’t know who he is.

When you are a musician/singer, how is it possible that you didn't hear Chris Cornell before.....

I just saw this reaction and I sincerely hope you have gone down the Chris Cornell rabbit hole since you made this video. He is spectacular!

CC made singing look effortless….by far the best vocalist to have ever walked this earth!!

This man had (and still has) the BEST voice in Rock!! ❤️‍🔥

The Greatest Voice of my Generation (Gen. X). Most might have been in Kurt's corner as representing my generation but it'll always be Chris to me. One-In-A-Billion voice that could so effortlessly transmit emotion. Gone too soon but left us with a lot of amazing music. RIP

It's a cello by the way. In terms of the string family going from soprano to bass, it goes, violin, viola, cello, double bass. And what he's doing on that cello isn't really hammer on like you would think of with a guitar and actually there's lots of hammering on constantly in string parts but what you're noticing is something called pizzicato, and that's where you're still holding the bow but you use your fingers to pluck the strings instead. It's very common and a great effect I think. Anyway, I really think Chris Cornell is one of the greatest singers of our generation. He's just phenomenal check out some of his other acoustic work like I said. You will be blown away. He has a range that's incredible. He didn't even show it off here at all. Because the song didn't need it. And I agree with you, I love this simple heartfelt treatment of it and it really makes the words in the images and the sentiments come alive. Rest in peace brother, he is truly missed.

You’ve got to check out more of his music, whether its his solo work, Audioslave, or Soundgarden. It’s all amazing.

Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington (Linkin Park) were best friends. Chris hung himself and Chester followed suit a month later on Chris’s birthday back in 2017. They were both amazing at what they did. They are both sorely missed.

Thank you to share this. I was interested by his music, and I'll listen him again 👍👍🎸🎸👍👍🔥🔥💫🎉🎉☀️🔥🔥

You are such a genius 👏 haha

He was a great singer. RIP

Hes the goat

Mesmerising. Rip Chris …

Thank you Mr Mayo for your reaction. Chris is greatly missed and he left us with some amazing songs. They never get old.

Chris Cornell was pure talent + charisma, considered the GOAT rock singer by a ton of people. Check him out in any of these - whether solo, with his bands Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, or Audioslave. It's all 🔥🔥🔥 He was also an incredibly prolific songwriter. *Solo original* "Seasons" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9unh5SCm7DJcmg.html "As Hope and Promise Fade" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ebV5lKhmsNHTlmQ.html Solo cover (with his touring band) "Billie Jean" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9aIgZSWutGqd4k.html *Soundgarden* "Fell on Black Days" : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r7mqpa1lrLiqZ6c.html "Mailman" : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9NzZM6VtazKc2w.html "Reach Down" live with Temple of the Dog- range and swagger! He said this was one of his favorite songs to perform. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdZdftV7rMiZg58.html

Listen to the song Like A Stone by Chris.

I recommended for you to reaction chris cornell through the window songs.

Chris was fantastic and this cover is a fine example of that 👌🎶🎸. So much feeling in his voice indeed 💔😔. If you haven't heard his version of Patience, I can strongly recommend that Guns N'Roses cover 🤗. Happy Tuesday, Mike!

Surfer dude? Wow. Smh. Chris Cornell is one of the best singers that ever lived. His voice is unique. One of the best grunge/rock voices of all time. RIP, Chris. You are missed.

Chris Cornell is the greatest voice of my generation hands down. I saw him live with just a guitar by himself. He was incredible. Now you need to hear Hunger Strike by Temple of the Dog.

I like your reaction as new subscriber to your channel, My request is a Filipina Girl group "4th Impact" that competed on the British reality TV 12 series The X Factor Cover the song "Bang Bang" by Jessie J, Ariana G. & Nicki M. and it's the Number one most Viewed on X Factor History.

How on gods green earth are you a musician and now know Chris Cornell? Seriously

Yeah, he was pretty special. RIP 🙏

His song Like A Stone by his band Audioslave is amazing ❤😊

Awesome reaction! You should react to more Chris Cornell and his bands Soundgarden, Audioslave and temple of the dog. If you like this then you’ll probably like his Billie Jean cover!

Check out Chris` Like a Stone Acoustic Live (Unplugged Sessions @ AOL)

What’s up with the jar of mayonnaise? Chris Cornell is legendary. Please dive into him. Audioslave, Soundgarten, But first check out Temple of the Dog’s “Hunger Strike”. Chris Cornell is playing with Pearl Jam and they’re looking for a lead singer. Cornell found Eddie Vedder and wanted the band to hear him play. But live. This video has a bazillion views. Suffice it to say, Eddie Vedder got the job and became Pearl Jam’s lead singer. And the rest is history. Dive into Pearl Jam. You won’t be disappointed. They were one of the biggest 90s grunge bands.

Greatest male voice of all time. R.i.p. chris

It's not actually a Prince cover technically. Prince wrote it but it was performed by Sinead O'Connor. Prince wrote many songs for other artists including Stevie Nicks, The Bangles, The Time, Vanity 6, Chaka Khan, Sheena Easton, Patti Labelle, Sheila E., Alicia Keys, Kenny Rodgers, Madonna, Martika and more! He's beyond talented!

You should check out his acoustic version of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean". RIP Chris Cornell

Found this and subbed! Chris is the greatest singer of all time! PLEASE REACT TO MORE OF HIS MUSIC...Bands: Soundgarden..Temple of The Dog and Audioslave..plus an extensive solo career! I MISS HIM SO MUCH!💔 GREAT REACTION💜💚💜

RIP Chris😢

Best mayonnaise ever.

Prince wrote it, Sinead made it popular but Chris made it his own n his version was perfect. Sinead's version was great but this one is just perfection

Please react Temple of the Dog - Say hello to heaven (Live at Moore Theater) young Chris

Super bro 👍

Love Chris Cornell!! Try the song Black Hole Sun by his group Soundgarden. Another really good one by his group with Eddie Veder (Temple Of The Dog) is Hunger Strike. Eddie Veder is the lead singer of Pearl Jam. They would be another great band to check out. Try their song Even Flow. Great reaction!! 🙂

Check out fell on black days acoustic version 👍

He's no longer with us unfortunately. One of the best singers voice wise in the past 20 years

Sinead Connor was the original singer of the song Prince covered it

You should listen to Prince's version as well. Just discovered your channel and already loving your videos!
