Chris Cornell is one of the greatest voices of this generation! He has about a 4 octave range and has so much power when he wants it. Over 30 years since this was released and it still sounds relevant and deep. RIP Chris!!! Your music lives on forever.
You have to mention his unparalleled song writing. Yes, his voice/range/singing/arrangements were epic but his lyrics were deep and timeless! Hands down best singer-songwriter of our generation.
@@bradleydevaughn8889 Justin Hawkins asked him about it. He said he would consider writing new material with them but didn't want to try to fill any shoes. Classy dude. Amazing guitarist!
"Say Hello to Heaven" Temple of the Dog (Chris and members of Mother Love Bone ((soon to become Pearl Jam)) made this incredible tribute to their singer, Andy Wood, who ODed). One of Chris Cornell's best imo. R.I.P.
"Right Turn" on the S.A.P. EP is a short but amazing song with Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, Jerry Cantrell, and I think one other guy whose name escapes me right now. The harmonies of their voices is pure magic
And down the Chris Cornell rabbit hole you go ............ generally most people start off being impressed and intrigued by his voice on first listen, and 30 or 40 songs later, generally agreeing he's one of the greatest rock vocalists who ever lived. So much good material from him to choose from - his Soundgarden stuff, Audioslave stuff, solo stuff and more.
This song came out in 1991. Since you've heard Soundgarden and Pearl Jam, the next logical step is to react to Hunger Strike by Temple of the Dog so you can hear Eddie and Chris singing together!
Looking California. Feeling Minnesota. Im looking sunny but feeling cold inside. Not a slam against the great state of Minnesota. One of the most powerful vocalists ever. RIP CC.
Chris was rather tall,at 6'2". I met him in Seattle,in a pub beneath an overpass. My friend got him to come see me on my B'day. I didnt know and was sitting there at the bar when he came up behind me .I suddenly saw him in the big mirror on the back wall. I almost passed out. He was so tall and lithe.And just sooo nice. Great memory that I have.
I lived in Minnesota when this came out. When that lyric would come up, I would think 'hey Chris, I'm already struggling and trying to maintain optimism and you equate my home with feeling shitty'.
You need to listen to Birth Ritual 🎉 Also give Queensryche if you like vocals. Jet City Woman is my fave. That and the entire Operation:Mindcrime album❤
Chris Cornell is the singer. One of the best vocalists of our time! Love Soundgarden, saw them in concert just a few years before he passed. Felt so lucky to have witnessed this powerhouse on stage. He was in a few bands well worth checking out, including Audioslave and Temple of the Dog. Would love to see you react to Audioslaves' song Like a Stone. And Say Hello to Heaven is a very deep personal song Cornell wrote about the suicide of one of his friends
One of my all time faves! Sadly missed! I'm 58 and grew up on all great music from the 60's on up. We have lost way too many great lengendary artists! Can't wait for that great gig in the sky! Rock on!!!
Soundgarden and Chris Cornell are amazing and made some amazing music. It's probably not good for UA-cam reactions due to the name but a really good song you should hear is the acoustic version (and studio) of "Like Suicide". It's a song he wrote when he saw a bird hit his window and broke its neck and he had to kill it. It's incredibly good with a unique story behind it
Chris Cornell is the best voice of this generation. His range is unmatched. Soundgarden were seen as the Led Zeppelin of Grunge. He did an album with the members of Pearl Jam under the name Temple of the Dog. Later on, he fronted Audioslave when Soundgarden broke up. He also had a fantastic solo career. He is truly missed. His death hit me so hard. Check out Say Hunger Strike, Fell On Black Days and Black Hole Sun.
Chris once said that when he wrote this song it had to do with the fact that he could look very carefree and happy like a stereotypical California beachgoer, but that’s not how he felt inside.
Chris Cornell's catalog of songs is mind blowing. He was an incredible musician, songwriter and next level vocals. Close to 4 octaves. His love of melody shows through a lot. He wrote and performed with his heart and soul. I grew up in the 70s, music is my oxygen. Although I love Soundgarden, Audioslave and Temple Of The Dog, I love Chris' live acoustic shows.
After watching your reactions for a while, I think you'd really enjoy Burden In My Hand. It gets overlooked but is a musical standout. Thanks for checking them out. I did homecare and hospice nursing for several years and Bad Motorfinger was a go to in my car in the middle of the night, going to death calls and needing to get in the mood to do so. So many nurses are Soundgarden, grunge and metal fans. Dopamine hits to help get through the hard stuff.
I'm finding that many of those who are new to the avalanche of new/nu rock in the 90's - especially the first half of the decade - are stunned/shocked because they quite literally didn't know music could be this dynamic, intense, meaningful, cool, and other adjectives...
I was in my late teens and early 20's through the 90's. It was like every month more of this amazing, badass music was released. Then the 2000's came in with the boy bands. Great music became more and more rare from then to this day
“I’m looking California and feeling Minnesota” - looking like something I’m just the opposite of. Putting on a beautiful mask hiding the pain inside. Just my interpretation 🤷🏻♀️
Going down the grunge road is heartbreaking with so many talented artists gone too soon. But Chris's death still haunts me. His vocals are insane. Listen to Hunger Strike. Its Chris and Eddie Vedder and its insane. Actually Eddie's first video before Pearl Jam.
VOCALS 1- chris 2- Lane 3- Eddie 4- Kurt Band overal 1- Alice n Chains 2- Sound Garden 3- Pearl Jam 4- Nirvana Looking California (fresh/hot, Feeling Minnesota - Cool
If you haven't listened yet, Pearl Jam makes sense to discover after Soundgarden. While Nirvana, AIC , Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam are considered grunge, they all have such unique sound and style. Unfortunately, Pearl Jam is the only of the bands with their original frontman (two suicides and an overdose).
It's grate band i recommend their more unknown songs like Slaves and bulldozers or loud love . Chris Cornell was one of the best his solo stuff was great too .
Always nice to see young'uns appreciating some Soundgarden. :) Don't get too hung up on the at times quite abstract lyrics from them- the way the music makes you *feel* is the thing with Soundgarden. ;)
I have always taken the lyric as a compliment to Minnesota. I always interpreted it as California equals Heavy Metal/Hair Metal...fake plastic cookie cutter music etc.....Minnesota on the other hand in the 80's was home of The Replacements/Husker-Du/The Suburbs/Soul Asylum..etc....Authentic, Gritty, Blue Collar, Punk aesthetic..... There is a line in the Replacements song "Left Of The Dial" that goes like this..."Headed out to San Francisco, Definitely not LA" I always viewed Chris Cornell's line as similar. All just IMO.
Chris and Layne, 2 of the greatest, and when we listen to his Seasons or for Layne, River of Deceit, We can confirm they sound great even when stripped down. Pure Talent.
I was born in California and moved to Minnesota at 4. California is hot, and Minnesota is cold. Feels hot on the outside and cold on inside is my takeaway.
This gentleman needs to hear some Audioslave! Soundgarden's song Rusty Cage was covered by Johnny Cash. That's mad props. The sad thing is the front men from 3 of the 4 biggest grunge bands took their own lives.
He was the rouge grunge Singer with the most funk, he played with Eddie Vedder in temple of the dog I'm going hungry. So said what happened to Him and Lane from Alice in chains and Wayan from Stone Temple Pilots they were the more psychedelic grunge band, and Kurt from Nirvana 😮. But Eddie from Pearl Jam still around popping up to say hi once in a while. Silver chairs was a young grunge band that had one hit Tomorrow Addressing Australian hard water problems at just 15 years old.
Great song choice! UA-cam tip - the site launched in 2005, so you can't trust the post date when trying to guess when the content was originally created (it's from 1991). 🙂
PEARL JAM?? THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SOUNDGARDEN SONGS " OUTSHINED" RIP CHRIS CORNELL 😇❤️🩹🌹CHECK OUT PEARL JAM MTV UNPLUGGED. I LOVE SEATTLE SOUND ( GRUNGE) THE BEST OF THE 90'S. TEMPLE OF THE DOG, NIRVANA, ALICE IN CHAINS AND MAD SEASON AND MOTHER LOVE BONE AND SOUNDGARDEN AND PEARL JAM!! AWESOME REACTION!! 😊🩷🤘✌️
@SuziQ. I'm sorry, IM NOT SCEAMING OR YELLING AT ANYONE. I AM HALF BLIND SO I USED CAPS. I APOLOGIZED 😊 🩷 🤘 ✌️ ITS REALLY HARD TO SEE REGULAR TEXT SIZE.
btw...this song came out in 1991. You can't go by what date is on a UA-cam video. That date just means when that particular video was uploaded to UA-cam. it has nothing to do with when the video was shot, when the song came out or anything. Just FYI for future videos.
You know, there's some people who rip on Grunge but look at the quality of singers that came out of Seattle in the early 90's....Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, Eddie Vedder and Kurt Cobain.
Chris dealt with anxiety and depression. Amazing singer, and a good guy.
He is missed. 😢
Chris Cornell is one of the greatest voices of this generation! He has about a 4 octave range and has so much power when he wants it. Over 30 years since this was released and it still sounds relevant and deep. RIP Chris!!! Your music lives on forever.
Badass voice!
You have to mention his unparalleled song writing. Yes, his voice/range/singing/arrangements were epic but his lyrics were deep and timeless! Hands down best singer-songwriter of our generation.
Nobody can out sing Chris! Soundgarden and Audioslave are amazing! Anything he did was great!
Everything but Audioslave! Its like metallica after justice. Sssstupid
Listen to Richie Kotzen or him in the Winery Dogs. I have found that to be the second-best replacement. He sounds so much like Chris it is scary.
@@MrClewis97You beat me to it! Richie could easily step into CC’s shoes - no disrespect. RK is also a ripping, world class guitar player!
Phenomenal stuff!
@@bradleydevaughn8889 Justin Hawkins asked him about it. He said he would consider writing new material with them but didn't want to try to fill any shoes. Classy dude. Amazing guitarist!
"Say Hello to Heaven" Temple of the Dog (Chris and members of Mother Love Bone ((soon to become Pearl Jam)) made this incredible tribute to their singer, Andy Wood, who ODed). One of Chris Cornell's best imo. R.I.P.
Apple is such a great albumn too
Far behind by Candle Box is also about Andrew.
"Right Turn" on the S.A.P. EP is a short but amazing song with Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, Jerry Cantrell, and I think one other guy whose name escapes me right now. The harmonies of their voices is pure magic
Chris isn't know as 'The Voice" among his peers for no reason LOL
One of THE BEST to do it!

Bad Motorfinger was my very first CD... luvvvv it ❤
I agree...though I can't be sure he'd surpass Geoff Tate from Queensryche...
Nobody had a voice like Chris Cornell, in rock or otherwise. His vocal power, range and ability to scream remain unmatched.
This song came out in 1991. Since you've heard Soundgarden and Pearl Jam, the next logical step is to react to Hunger Strike by Temple of the Dog so you can hear Eddie and Chris singing together!
Chris was one of a kind. He is dearly missed.
Looking California. Feeling Minnesota. Im looking sunny but feeling cold inside. Not a slam against the great state of Minnesota. One of the most powerful vocalists ever. RIP CC.
Hes got the chills, yo… He’s jonesing..
Chris was rather tall,at 6'2".

Great memory that I have.
Jealous! Chris Cornell was the one true soulmate I never met.
Top 3 rock vocalist of all time. He had the craziest range. Gotta check out, day i tried to live, and slaves and bulldozers
I lived in Minnesota when this came out. When that lyric would come up, I would think 'hey Chris, I'm already struggling and trying to maintain optimism and you equate my home with feeling shitty'.
I always thought he meant he felt frozen. Like International Falls level cold, iced out. I never thought it was about the whole state being bad.
Looking warm, feeling cold 🤔
I think of Minnesota as a warm and friendly place. I found California pretentious and fake. I don’t think he meant anything bad about Minnesota.
This grunge rabbit hole is the best you’ll find! Started in Seattle around 90. ☮️❤️
You reckon that was a scream? Try Cochise when he was with Audioslave.
And be ready to fall off your chair!
You need to listen to Birth Ritual 🎉

Jesus Christ Pose also incredible
Spoonman. Yeah I know it’s surface level but it’s still awesome

Bush, Hole,Stone Temple Pirates, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden.. neccesary grunge music to hear!
Kim Thayil's guitar 😍😍😍😍😍
Chris doing Beyond the Wheel song 8 of 8 in Germany April 16, 1990... One of his best performances EVER!
100% glad someone else sees that as well. His vocals and uncover-able !

No one sings like him anymore.
The next closest I can recommend to this in terms of power and vibe is 'Cochise' when he was with Audioslave
Awesome reaction! This song and video are both from 1991. Part of the Seattle Grunge movement.
Chris once said that when he wrote this song it had to do with the fact that he could look very carefree and happy like a stereotypical California beachgoer, but that’s not how he felt inside.
One of the best rock and roll bands I've ever heard.

I love Soundgarden for all the band members too. Chris is amazing but it wouldn't be my favorite without them.
I'm finding that many of those who are new to the avalanche of new/nu rock in the 90's - especially the first half of the decade - are stunned/shocked because they quite literally didn't know music could be this dynamic, intense, meaningful, cool, and other adjectives...
Nu metal is early 2000's dude.
I was in my late teens and early 20's through the 90's. It was like every month more of this amazing, badass music was released. Then the 2000's came in with the boy bands. Great music became more and more rare from then to this day
Chris was amazing! Please check out Say Hello 2 Heaven as part of Temple of the Dog!!❤
Grunge forever and ever.😃 Greetings from Mexico City.
“I’m looking California and feeling Minnesota” - looking like something I’m just the opposite of. Putting on a beautiful mask hiding the pain inside. Just my interpretation 🤷🏻♀️
Go ahead and run through the entire Badmotorfinger album. You will not be disappointed.
Going down the grunge road is heartbreaking with so many talented artists gone too soon. But Chris's death still haunts me. His vocals are insane. Listen to Hunger Strike. Its Chris and Eddie Vedder and its insane. Actually Eddie's first video before Pearl Jam.

Soundgarden to me were the best of the grunge era and are right up there with the Zeppelin era bands.
My favorite Soundgarden song to play on bass,I LOVE that riff!!!😊❤
If you haven't listened yet, Pearl Jam makes sense to discover after Soundgarden. While Nirvana, AIC , Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam are considered grunge, they all have such unique sound and style. Unfortunately, Pearl Jam is the only of the bands with their original frontman (two suicides and an overdose).
Stone Temple Pilots as well. A different sounding grunge outfit and also lost their lead singer. The grunge scene was hard on its members.
Dont forget blind mellon
I liked the first few PJ albums but they lost me somewhere around vitalogy
@@jeremybrown7075 Same.
(or other reasons).
What a beast of a song! And band! ;)
Birth Ritual is gonna blow your mind.
Edit: I'm looking California, I'm feeling Minesota --> I'm looking kinda stupid and I'm feeling pretty bad.
It's grate band i recommend their more unknown songs like Slaves and bulldozers or loud love . Chris Cornell was one of the best his solo stuff was great too .

Love waiting for the smile when Chris is going off
Yes, more Soundgarden is Always great
And just like that I'm back ripping up the track in my bright red 3000gt on GranTourismo 2.
Man I loved those games and the music in them
Chris and Layne, 2 of the greatest, and when we listen to his Seasons or for Layne, River of Deceit,
We can confirm they sound great even when stripped down.
Pure Talent.
Get as much music from this band. No time will be wasted. Very vauleable.
Looking red, feeling blue
I was born in California and moved to Minnesota at 4. California is hot, and Minnesota is cold. Feels hot on the outside and cold on inside is my takeaway.
You have to listen to the whole Bad Motor Finger album
This gentleman needs to hear some Audioslave!
Soundgarden's song Rusty Cage was covered by Johnny Cash. That's mad props. The sad thing is the front men from 3 of the 4 biggest grunge bands took their own lives.
Or something else happened. But still utterly tragic.
Cornell sempre nel cuore.🙏🤘
Outshined came out in the 90s and so did that video. They’re talking about the upload in 2012 to UA-cam.
You don’t know Soundgarden???? Wtf lmao😂
One of a very few rock songs in 7/4 time.
I happen to love both this song and Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel.
You HAVE to listen to Beyond the Wheel if you really want to hear epic Cornell vocals.
He was the rouge grunge Singer with the most funk, he played with Eddie Vedder in temple of the dog I'm going hungry.

Also Temple of the dog. Hunger Strike.
Love sounds you should do the song mailman its epic
He will always be my favorite!
Dude. Check out Rusty Cage and Slaves and Bulldozers
PEARL JAM?? THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SOUNDGARDEN SONGS " OUTSHINED" RIP CHRIS CORNELL 😇❤️🩹🌹CHECK OUT PEARL JAM MTV UNPLUGGED. I LOVE SEATTLE SOUND ( GRUNGE) THE BEST OF THE 90'S. TEMPLE OF THE DOG, NIRVANA, ALICE IN CHAINS AND MAD SEASON AND MOTHER LOVE BONE AND SOUNDGARDEN AND PEARL JAM!! AWESOME REACTION!! 😊🩷🤘✌️
AIC is not grunge. They debuted when the grunge bands did, but they’re hard, melodic rock.
@SuziQ. OK, whatever ALICE IN CHAINS IS NOT GRUNGE AND SOUNDGARDEN NOT GRUNGE I SUPPOSE.THEY THE SEATTLE SOUND. 😁✌️
@@laurawatters914 ,
Soundgarden was grunge; Pearl Jam was grunge; Temple of the Dog was grunge.

I’m sorry about your vision.
*Does bold print help?*
If so, place an asterisk at the beginning and the end of your posts.
People be living under a rock, if you don't know who Cris Cornell is especially Soundgarden 💯
I want to point out if we had a you tube in the 90s. Listening to music in the 60s. Thank you.
The video was probably reuploaded in hd in 2012, the song and video were released in 1991.
Has anyone explained that not all videos on UA-cam were FILMED the day it says it was POSTED?
Bad Motorfinger came out in 1991
Check out "Rusty Cage ".❤
Chris was innovative and his voice bar non the best!! His voice could change octaves up to 4 yet stay beautiful.
I can see that on display
btw...this song came out in 1991. You can't go by what date is on a UA-cam video. That date just means when that particular video was uploaded to UA-cam. it has nothing to do with when the video was shot, when the song came out or anything. Just FYI for future videos.
Thank you Rob!
You know, there's some people who rip on Grunge but look at the quality of singers that came out of Seattle in the early 90's....Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, Eddie Vedder and Kurt Cobain.
Enjoy Chris Cornell.
Hurricane Cornell, blowin' it down, caragory 5 style
Chris Cornell... Audioslave FTW
I think it would be Chris on his solo work would be that purest version of Chris
This is really reflective of a generational concept that seems more difficult for people of the same age today.
You should check out Chris's cover of the Prince song Nothing Compares 2 U. Amazing. One of the best singers ever!
Love this song! ✌❤
When Christ Kicked Some Ass in a Band!
It was uploaded to YT 12 years ago. Time began before that…
It was the remaster release date
Chris Cornell was one of the best! Gone way too soon. Great reaction
Cold indeed!
One of their earlier releases. Early 90s release
I'd never noticed that the guy on the hamster wheel looks like the singer from Spin Doctors.
"If you, wanna put me in a hamster wheel, just go ahead now".
Can't wait for Alice in Chains
90s vid, was loaded in youtube 20 plus yrs later
Now do the AIC Unplugged album.... pure gold.
Good choice dude
Sound garden was around when Alice in chains was
Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun was my rabbit hole into grunge.
Early 90’s!
Likely reuploaded 2012.
The video was released in December 1991
California (looking good) Minnesota ( feeling good) Midwest
It’s the opposite. In an interview he said it means “I’m looking bad and feeling bad”
Damn that rocks
