You know who’s singing that high note. Chris motherfudging Cornell.

RIP Andrew... RIP Kurt... RIP Layne... RIP Chris.... Long live Eddie!!!

Her smile when Eddie starts singing is priceless

Cornell singing those high notes....playing on that sweet Gretsch guitar.

Temple of the Dog, there is not a bad song on that album.

Chris' high singing behind Eddie's baritone lead vocal just still gives me chills.

I read that Eddie was on this track because Chris was originally going to sing both parts himself. Eddie had just been hired by Wood's former bandmates, forming Pearl Jam, and had just moved to Seattle. He was hanging out at the studio with the only people he knew in a new city, and just kind of...started singing the low parts because Chris was having some trouble with them. Friendship born.

This song never gets old, could listen to it on repeat for hours, Chris + Eddie is one of the greatest duos of all time.

R.I.P Chris Cornell. You had a voice like no other and you will be missed.

"He sounds like a distorted guitar" is probably my favorite description of Chris' voice

The opening guitar melody always gets me.

Love this song. It's so raw and pure. I'm a massive Eddie fan and his voice always calms me when I'm feeling too overwhelmed.

The music goes on, even after the artist passes. R.I.P.

Her smile at 3:03 when Eddie starts to sing is the best reaction to this video.

Best part 3:04 *sly smile "Is that Eddie Vedder?"

God.... I LOVE the way he carries his voice away.... brilliant! Another who is spectacular at this is Eddie Vedder. The passion of these two are very hard to beat :)

Cornell and Vedder compliment each other beautifully on this track. Absolutely love this song

Yes! Thank you for this present , Beth!

Had to click immediately...went to bed last night listening to "Times of trouble"

Chris Cornell and Layne Stayley: right turn. It's been years since this was released and I still can't listen to it enough.

Long live Eddie. Thanks Chris and Layne. I carry them with me forever

So glad you reacted to this version. One of my all time favorite vocal performances! I've heard it a billion times and when Eddie sings his part I still get the chills sometimes!

Don't forget about Layne Staley. He is my favourite although I also love Eddie and Chris. Please check out Layne second band - Mad Season. Wake up live at Moore is a stunning performance.

Merry Christmas Beth! Love that song.. Chris & Eddie on the beach, West Coast US, moody sky.. brings me waaayyy back... Isnt it scary how quickly time goes by?!! Dublin Dave.

probably one my fav songs of the grunge era, the vocals are so distinctive and cornell/veder are a match.... whats most incredible is the popular music of a few years earlier was 180deg difference i love both....

Beyond the wheel live 1990 Germany by Soundgarden is a must watch and react

Anyone dislking this deserves a kick in the face for Christmas. Two of the finest voices together on a beautiful song.

That smile when Vedder kick in is everything, such a genuine "wow moment" I remember having myself back when this first came out in my early teens.

The vocals at the end are epic. They make it worth the whole video.

This song is the reason I started singing!!! Thank you :)

Cornell is not only the best Grunge artist but also if not the best one of the top 3 rock era vocalists. Just a phenomenal singer

Her face when Vedder starts to sing! 😍

Both guys are deservedly legendary.

I love her input and she seems genuine, but she just said, “his voice his so distinctive.” And then does not know who is hitting the high notes haha

Like a stone is my favorite song from Chris

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!

When the two greatest grunge singers come together it makes an amazing song

From this album: Say Hello 2 Heaven. A must-have! A remarkable vocal display, a performance that shows off the amazing range of Chris' voice. I have heard this song thousands of times and seemingly always know what to expect.... but still, every time I listen to it I am very impressed and amazed at how good Chris was.

The Temple of the Dog .....the essence of Grunge !!!!

I would recommend Mother Love Bone’s Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns (the vocalist is Andrew Wood).

Cornell WAS my favorite grunge artist as well. He is one of my favorite singers of all time. Like I lost my shit when he killed himself and I always loose it again when I hear this song in particular. And btw the one singing everything up to the harmonies in the pre-chorus is Eddie Vedder. Then it’s Cornell doing all the high notes cuz Vedder’s voice is so much more low-set than Cornell’s. Damn I still can’t hear this song without getting far more emotional than I’d like to admit.

You literally, and I mean LITERALLY, you have the best reaction videos. Your taste is amazing.

I love when you do the rock singers. Chris is also one of my favourite artists. Beautiful unique voice.

This is one of the best songs to sing along to.

When Chris roars it sounds like gods screaming!

They talk about this song in the PJ20 book, and I love the story. Eddie had just arrived in Seattle before they had recorded Ten, so he went down to the studio where Stone and Jeff were recording the Temple of the Dog record. He was sitting in the hall listening, and Chris was struggling a bit with the lower part, so he just walked in and started singing. It became a duet, and possibly my favorite ever vocal performances.

Merry Christmas! Thanks for covering this amazing song. A great era in music

Chris said in an interview I saw that he was always trying to scream louder because he wanted to be a big time 'rock singer', but every time he went higher, he found another note that he didn't know he could hit and eventually just realised he could sing these crazy notes if he wanted to.

Oh man.. Chris Cornell 😭😭💙💙💙💯

"he sounds like a distorted guitar" That's it! Amazing power

Wow - to match two voices so well and with so much power!! Not sure there was a duo on one song in this genre of music that could have done it better. Jaw-dropping and amazing!!

She Smiles when Eddie Starts. Her eyes lit up

You're amazing, Beth!

Thank for reacting to this one Beth! I have been hoping so much that you would!!! Two amazing vocalists!

Beth's comment on "feeling" the note and its resonance is right on the money. When I was a percussionist, I learned that the best way to tune tympani during live performances was to find the point at which the drum head would vibrate at the same frequency as the note I was humming into it. My ear was pretty reliable, but observing the physics of the vibrating drum head got me right on the note every time.

Beth, you should react to Audioslave - Like A Stone, or absolutely Staind - Something To Remind You!

Excellent choice! This one is an amazing song...

Merry Christmas to you too, Beth. I hope your holidays are full of joy and beautiful music.

Have literally been waiting for someone to make this video. Thank you Miss Beth.

I see Temple of the Dog, I like.

"Oh, is that Eddie Vedder?" "I don't know who is singing that high note.." Are you f#cking kidding?

Have so many memories from this song... Mostly bad... But now 28 years later.. It's one of best songs, with the best singers.. I love it 💕🙏💕

Great song/combination. Loved this song for almost 30 years.

"His voice is so distinctive..." Two minutes later: "Oooh, I don't know who's singing that high note..."

A great song! Thank you for this :)

Love these videos, new subscriber. Your knowledge about singing and music is impressive - I love watching professionals talk about my favorite singers. Keep the vids coming thanks!

Ah, what a song, what an album. OK, I'm older now but still think this is still one of the best albums ever. Still so few people know it.

These guys aren't thinking technically when they sing. They just sing from the heart naturally.

The founding members of a Pearl Jam, Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament, before starting Pearl Jam was in Mother Love Bone, with Andrew Woods on vocals until his overdose. They helped Chris Cornell put TOTD together. Fun fact 2: Eddie Vedder is considered an icon of grudge and Seattle in that era, but Eddie is a Southern California born and raised musician who not moved to Seattle after auditioning and being asked to join Pearl Jam. :) Fun (useless...lol) fact 3: Andrew Wood was not just friends, but also the roommate of Chris Cornell when he passed. If you want to hear Andrew Wood, I suggest looking up Mother Love Bone doing stardom champion or if you want to hear something more melodic try Chloe dancer/ crown of thorns. (That is all one title). And lastly, Fun fact 4: the first grunge band (considered to be) that predated mother love bone was Green River, which also featured Gossard and Ament, but also Alex Vincent on drums and Marc Arm on vocals, who would later go on to start the grunge band Mudhoney.

Absolutely crazy how much I’ve learned singing from this channel. You are amazing

Transports me to autumn in arizona riding on a bus to an away football game. Such a serene feeling. 👂👍🏼

This how he dealt with Andrew Wood’s overdose death. Locked himself away and wrote the entire album.

amazing album

I love Chris so much❤❤. I wish he was still here

Beth you look gorgeous! Thanks for reviewing and appreciating this lovely song

Nice! Maybe you could check out Mad Season next 😊

I somehow think these great singers don't sit around and think about resonance, jaw position, or any of the things you mention, they just go out and do it with the raw talent they have.

Man, I needed this. I feel like I'm back in the 90s when I was a teenager. So nostalgic.

Cornell on Say Hello to Heaven from the same ToD album hits the most ridiculous high note. New, but becoming a big fan of your stuff. Keep it up!

I can't help crying when watching these videos because this was the music of my adolescence, those wonderful years of the early 90s with that masterful theme of the fusion of Pearl Jam and Soundgarden, two of the coolest bands and that put grunge at the top. RIP Christ Cornell wherever you are: '(

You should react to "Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns", by Mother Love Bone

You got my respect when you said chris was your fav. He is the absolute best freaking grunge voice ever.

90s grunge is my jam. Love your input with all your videos. Merry Christmas and continue to crush it in the new year. Love from Ohio.

Pearl Jam Sirens

Mad season- Long Gone Day

I loved your smile when Eddie showed up in the video!!

A magical, serendipitous moment in music history. You just don’t get this anymore.

Chris cornell and chester bennington - hunger strike, live

She needs to react to Audioslave Cochise.

Chris singing this live with Pearl Jam was amazing to see. My 2 favourite vocalists of all time. Hands down.

A very merry Christmas and the happiest of New Year's, Beth. Thanks for the special podcast and the sweet little gift at the end.

Chris is the most recognizable voice, who is singing the highs? Really? Love ya Beth but come on.

I really hurt my throat once trying to match Cornell's singing while the song was playing on the car radio. Pretty sure I broke a blood vessel, and boy did I have a really fantastically novel and pained voice for a while.

Thank you Beth! Merry Christmas from Washington State!

Merry Christmas to you as well, Beth! Thank you for the educational and entertaining videos!

Ok you gotta do Mother Love Bone now. Man of Golden Words. Merry Christmas.

I’d love to see you react to a Coheed and Cambria: Welcome Home

Simply a FANTASTIC song

RIP Chris. That boy could crush it. Eddie has done nothing but get better.
