74 years young Grandma who still listens to her Temple of the Dog, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, and Sound Garden CDs.

Cornell's voice was touched by God. A true one of a kind talent.

Call him Layne Stanley one more time..... Its Staley.

A great song, but "Say Hello To Heaven" off the same album is perfection

Temple Of The Dog was just a one off band that did one album. It was meant as a tribute to Andrew Wood, who was a singer in a few different influential bands in the early Seattle scene, mainly Mother Love Bone, that died from a drug overdose, and was Chris Cornell's roommate and best friend at the time of his death. Chris wrote a few songs in tribute to his friend, and wanted to put together a group, on the side from Soundgarden, to record them, and approached Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament from Mother Love Bone, who were in the middle of putting together their new band, Pearl Jam, and already had hooked up with Mike McCready (Pearl Jam). Matt Cameron, was the drummer from Soundgarden at the time, and later after they broke up, he then became the drummer of Pearl Jam. So, Temple Of The Dog, was basically just Pearl Jam lead by Chris Cornell. Eddie Vedder wasn't really part of the group. He had just come to Seattle from California to be a part of Pearl Jam. So, he just happened to be there, and when they were working on this song, Chris was going for a sound, but having trouble finding it, and Eddie jumped in to make some suggestions, and Chris realized that what he needed was Eddie, but he's only on this one song. Eddie Vedder has talked about how when he first came to Seattle, he didn't really no anyone, outside of Pearl Jam at least, and Chris befriended him, and invited him to hang out, made him feel like part of the scene, and was there when he had nobody and needed someone.

Gotta love Layne Stanley from Alice and Change.

Layne and Chris were actually really good friends. They were all a big circle of band friends. This album is a tribute to Andy Wood who was a singer for one of those bands after he passed.

That era brought us some amazing vocalists. not flashy, not over the top. just pure music. RIP Mr Cornell. good morning miss! have a great day!

Thank you! I know it was a slip of the tongue, but youve given me the best way to piss off a few of my friends now. "Layne Stanley from Allison Change."

Two of the best voices ever

The whole Temple of the Dog album is a killer! If you would like to hear one of the greatest rock and roll voices of all time at his peak, you know what to do haha... Rest in peace Chris Cornell! Terribly missed.

All these years later and this song still gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it.

Cornell could sure scream and Eddie's tone was second to none.

One of the greatest albums of all-time. The whole album is GOLD.

Both their vocals are ridiculous!

I recommend Chris Cornell doing "Nothing Compares to U" live on Sirius XM. Such raw and emotional ability on display.

Say Hello to Heaven from the same album really shows off Chris's range and overall talent.

A song about the intricate notion of becoming famous. Taking the money of the record company while knowing you’ll be stealing the money of the young fans who don’t have much money but will do anything to buy your record, that the record company will make so much money off of! Rest easy Andy, rest easy Chris. I am so grateful I was alive for you to share your genius with! 💜💜

One of the finest collaborations ever.

I believe the only studio recording with Layne Staley and Chris Cornell singing on the same track is ‘Right Turn’ off the Sap EP.

You would absolutely love the band Mad Season Layne Staley and Mike Freakin McCready's ( from Pearl Jam) side project, it was Mike that got these awesome guys together. One awesome album, the song "Wake Up " is a good start. Awesome reaction Ray!! 😊🩷🤘✌️

Chris Cornel and Eddie Vedder, just has to be absolutely amazing! RIP Chris 😢. Yeah it was a ‘Supergroup’ and what a great one it was! Great song, great reaction!

"Say Hello To Heaven" is another great TOTD song

Chris had pipes from heaven!!! Keep resting easy brother..we miss you🤘

This was basically Chris Cornell's project that he enlisted members of Mother Love Bone to play on. Andy Wood was the singer of MLB and Chris's friend who died of a heroin overdose. A lot of the songs were inspired by him. Of course the rest of MLB would go on to form Pearl Jam.

Definitely heard Chris loud and clear. Eddie, too, for that matter. These guys and their bands were the musical leaders of my generation, usually referred to as Gen X. They crafted all of this incredible music for the rest of us to grow up on. Chris in particular was just a powerhouse voice. His entire career has vocal bangers.

Young lady you are taking me back to my high school days! I was sixteen when the Grunge Era dropped. I still listen to all of them to this day! What better could you get than a super band of Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and Mother Lovebone?!

Another great reaction. This song is so simple, yet so powerful. They don't make music like this anymore. RIP Chris Cornell. 2 thumbs up on your take on this.

A tribute band created by Chris; it doesn't get much better than a duet with Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder. RIP Chris- a beautiful soul and a voice that is greatly missed.

Eddie's now the last grunge standing.

Andy Wood, the legend… that’s why this band was formed as a tribute to his life. He helped launch the Seattle music scene and Pearl Jam is basically the second coming of his band with Eddie Vedder replacing him as lead singer after he died. Growing up during this time (as a late teen) was so incredible.

Great reaction! Both have unreal voices. Also, his name is Layne STALEy, pronounced like the word stale with an e on the end. There's no n there. Easy mistake to make though.👍

I remember when this album came out back in the 90s. So powerful, so passionate, so haunting.

Lane Stanley from Alice in change was hilarious

All of these guys were friends blowing up the Seattle bar and club scene in the late 80s before hitting it big in the early 90s, well, except Eddie, who was just arriving while this album was being made. It was a tribute to Andrew Wood, vocalist of Mother Love bone, and Chris Cornell's good friend and roommate who passed away early in 1990. This supergroup brought together Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard who were part of Mother Love Bone (and right after this, Pearl Jam) Chris Cornell and Matt Cameron from Soundgarden, and Mike McCready, who along with Eddie Vedder, would complete Pearl Jam's lineup for their debut album. This is the only song that Eddie contributed vocals on as (so the story goes) Chris was struggling with Hunger Strike as Eddie was just feeling his way around after just arriving in Seattle to form Pearl Jam with the others. Just like that, this song turned into the most amazing duet with two male leads that I've ever heard. If you want to try another supergroup from the same era, you need to listen to Mad Season. In '94, this brought together Mike McCready again, with the bassist from the Walkabouts, the drummer from the Screaming Trees, and... Layne Staley. They released the LP "Above" in 1995. The entire album is great, but if you want specific tracks, "Wake Up" "River of Deceit" "I'm Above" and "I Don't Know Anything" are all fantastic, but that's almost half of the entire album, haha.

Chris's pipes got you scratching your skin. Can relate.

Love that Layne Stanley. Chris Cornwell too.

I am so fortunate to have grown up in the 90 when Chris and Eddie were first coming out. I remember clearly the day I brought a Pearl Jam Ten CD to music class and played it for my best friend John who would later play guitar in a band we formed. Pearl Jam and Soundgarden were such huge influences to us as young musicians. RIP Chris.. You're loved and missed.

I don't think there's another video that conveys the overall mood of the "Seattle sound" than this one. The light house, the ship on the Puget Sound the bonfire on the beach, boots, jackets, hats, plaid flannel shirts .... Eddie sporting the classic shorts over long underwear look.

That’s vocal perfection!

Gotta do "Say Hello 2 Heaven" Live at The Moore. Chris's vocals are insane on that song.

it's a universal song that everyone sings the chorus to on thanksgiving day

Hell Yeah - I love those grudge guys: Layne Stanley, Eddie Sweater and Chris Cromwell

This is the soundtrack of my youth as a western Washingtonian. This was filmed (mostly) at Discovery Park in Seattle. Such nostalgia.

Thank you for doing this video Ray. It's an important song! And one of the best songs ever made. RIP Chris, Layne, Scott, Andy and Curt.

Mother Love Bone was so good! This album is a tribute to Andrew Wood. Their lead singer who passed. What a scene up in Seattle back in the day. So glad I'm old enough to have lived it and still enjoying the sounds it brought. This entire album is epic!

Those six men in that video, and the one the album is honoring, have done more for my life musically then I can ever even attempt to repay,

Great duet with Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell Eddie has a great low voice mixed with the insane high ranges of Chris Cornell's voice the two are magical in this video Chris Cornell had another performance which is even more insane with his range the song is called Say Hello To Heaven

Layne Staley.😉

Those two together was like peanut butter and jelly it's so good

Put aside the whole "Stanley" instead of "Staley", great reaction as usual.

No one sings like you anymore RIP Chris ❤

Would by Alice In Chains & Far Behind by Candlebox were also tributes to Mother Love Bone singer Andrew Wood.

Probably the best tune to come out of the entire grunge thing. Soundtrack to my student days.

Layne STANLEY's brother Paul was is KISS😂😂😂

Say Hello 2 Heaven is fantastic!!!!!

The performance is more impressive when you learn two things: This was Eddie's first pro recording, and that Eddie was a last second addition. Chris thought the song needed another vocal, and Eddie was in town getting to know his new bandmates in what was originally called Mookie Blaylock.

Layne Stanley from Alice in Change is great.

"Lane Stanely from Alice in Change" LOL that gave me a good chuckle. This and Say Hello 2 Heaven from the same album are 2 of Cornell's best songs. Vedder is a great vocalist in his own right but I swear Cornell had the soul of a black choir woman trapped in him. He was an incredible talent who left us too soon.

grew up listening to these legends all my life and still I get chills every time when I hear those voices that are complete masterpiece and they still blow me away.. and the way people knew how to write and say things back than.. It will never repeat ♥ RIP Chris. Listen to all you can find from Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Chris Cornell solo, Audioslave, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains :) it's the best musical and cultural education :)

Eddy said once that this was the first time he’d ever heard his voice on a record!

2 of the best voices of my generation (X).... Rest in Power Chris, having seen you w/ Soundgarden live at Lolapalooza in '92 will always be a highlight of my life, as well as Pearl Jam live in '95 w/ the Ramones...

The first time Eddies vocals were ever professionally recorded.

I’ve got a cool story about Eddie Vedder. First I worked for an insurance company back in the day in the special lines field and remember actually speaking to Eddie about his boat policy! He said enjoyed calling instead of his agent! Very down to Earth and later we were able to meet at a Seattle Pearl Jam show so he was able to put a face to the voice on the phone 📱. ILL NEVER FORGET IT! RIP CHRIS CORNELL. The Seattle scene in the early 1990’s is unsurpassed by anything going on today! I saw Pearl Jam on LOLLAPOLOOZA 92 with Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ministry, Soundgarden, Jesus & Mary Chain, Ice Cube, Cypress Hill…

Layne Stanley from Alice n Change....😂

Still listen to this all the time

Mad season was another awesome super group. "River of deceit" is an amazing song.

There is a video of them playing this live on stage.

First! Great song

I remember warching this when it came out. I feel so old, damn it.

An absolutely timeless song. Great reaction.

I looooooovvvveee you grasped how awesome their vocals were. I love Vedder ,,, but man I miss Chris Cornell.

My two favorites!💖🙏🏻rip Chris

I would be lying if i didn't let out an audible, "ugh," to hear that Chris sounded like, "Layne Stanley," from, "Alice in Change." I stuck it out though. Very appropriate reaction to Chris' vocals at the end.

Chris also sings with Layne Stayley on the song Right Turn off Alice in Chains' ep Sap. Two of the my favorites along with Maynard James Keenan of Tool (and a couple other bands) Maynard and Layne also sang together live a few times.

Eddie has one of my favorite voices! Perfection

Layne Stanley from Alice in change sounds a financial planner with a great voice

Glad you reacted to this... when anyone asks me what my favorite song of all time is I send them to this song. Thank you

They were beautiful friends..I love eddy.we have too...he's amazing artist ❤😎👍

Too much beauty, too much pain. Those days are gone. Chris is gone now. Fly high & free-Andrew, Kurt, Layne & Chris. 🌈🦋🦋🦋🏵💧💧💧💧

Nobody had a voice like that guy.

Ah yes, Laine Stanley from Alice and Change, classic...

That twang you're talking about that Chris and Layne had a lot of the Seattle guys had it's that forward placed and really can hear it in R sounds, it's a defining thing of that Seattle "grunge" sound, Cobain, Cornell, Vedder, Weilland all had it.

Love love this song!! Needs a couple more verses dangit! Lol. RIP Chris.

So sad to see such beautiful souls pass away so young 😭

Liked for "Stanley", lmao- You're listening to many of my fav bans at this point ^^

What a voice.

This tune is my all-time Grunge favorite. Living in the Seattle area for over 50 + years seen some Great Rock bands. Hendrix, Heart, and the Grunge scene. Bad deal the deaths from, Herion.

Just a great thing that a lot of these guys from different bands in that Seattle scene were friends. You get two really tremendous singers here.

All Night Thing is my favorite song off that album.

This album was the first introduction of Eddie Vedder. Pearl Jam's debut wouldn't come out until a few months later. Soundgarden had been the Alpha dog of the Seattle scene and was working on their second album when this came out - and everyone took notice of Vedder, who had just moved to Seattle to form what would be Pearl Jam.

"Right Turn" Chris, LAYNE, Mark and Jerry.

Say Hello To Heaven , my favorite song on the album

It’s not Lane Stanley. It’s Layne Thomas Staley, that was the singer from Alice In Chains.

northwestern here love the state of Washinton

I think this was filmed on Bainbridge Island, in the mid 90s, when*t to see a band called Jamblia, who were Cris*s sisters and they did a version of this with Cris in Bellingham Wa, great show.

“Call Me a Dog” is a incredible Cornell showcase 🖤🤤

Call Me A Dog is awesome... So is Say Hello To Heaven by Temple of the Dog...❤❤❤

What an epic song

I love it when Chris Cornell breaks people.
