Seeing as how everyone reacting to Chris Cornell is hell bent on not listening to the studio tracks... ever... I'm not sure she will here him in his prime.
michael fadian there's good old live recordings all over. It more seems they get overlooked which is sad because he had earlier songs that showed his full range, not just one or two parts
The coolest part of this was the fact that this was his voice PAST his prime. He admitted his voice diminished due to smoking and heavy drinking at one point in his life. From the beginning of Soundgarden until about 1999 his voice was at the peak. His worst point was during his time with Audioslave, mostly during live performances, but afterwards when he stopped drinking his voice recovered and it just got better over time.
His prime was more 1988 to 1995. Even by 1996 he was having major issues with his voice his range had diminished quite a bit by 1996 and he was also having alot of trouble staying on key and in tune . His voice was also very shaky and warbly in 1996. There are many performances from the last 3 months where his voice is very damaged. He also had to push and strain to hit the upper range in 1996. The live on I5 album is an example of how tattered his voice was in 1996. The trouble actually started in August of 1994. He blew his voice out and soundgarden had to cancel the rest of the US tour and the entire 94 European tour Cornell was told by a doctor that he had severely stained his vocal chords and was told to not tour for a whole year and he took that advice and it worked for a brief period of time. In August of 95 soudgarden returned to performing and re booked their canceled 94 Euro tour and Cornells voice was absolutely mind blowing. He was back to the Cornell of 1991 and gave some of his strongest live performances if his career but when the band returned to performing in 96 his range had diminished alot . During the layoff between the 95 euro tour and the summer of 1996 Cornell was drinking Heavily and alot of drugs which continued when Soundgarden hit the road in July 96 and toured for the next 6 months between the months of touring and hard partying Cornells voice declined rapidly and by the first of December was a complete mess. It's a shame they waited until the December shows to record concerts for a live album. Had they recorded the shows from November 7 to November 20th they would have captured Chirs in much better voice. They had a 3 week break between the 96 Euro tour and the start of the US tour and Chirs started off the US tour in much better voice then he had been for most of the Euro tour . He sounded quite good during September 96 show particularly the shows in England. They recorded live and Loud for MTV in September and Chris was in fantastic voice that day . limo wreck has him in top form but for the October shows chirs was having major difficulties. He still had lots of range and power but his voice was cracking terrible on the highs and screams and he had trouble staying om key but after a 3 week break he came back sounding very strong for the first 2 weeks of the US tour. Denver , the Chicago shows Toronto and Fairfax were all great and easily his best shows of the US tour and better than the October 96 shows . I really wish they have recorded those shows instead. The deterioration of Cornells voice during the last week of November was quite startling . The shows from November 7 to 20th were not what I would consider peak Cornell but they were as close as he got to his peak then at any other point in 96. However there are some individual song performances from Decmebet 96 that are quite fantastic . There may not be a single show from December where Cornell sounds good the whole show but you do get a song here and there where he nails it. I f I had to pick the best vocal show from December it would be Sacramento which is incorrectly labeled as Oakland . It has killer vocals on hands all over and slaves and bulldozers. Slaves and bulldozers had an immense vocal performance and why they did not use that version on the live record instead of the Version from Oakland where Chirs can't hit the highs on the Chorus and his voice breaks. His prime definitely ended in September of 95
@@adamwatson6916 well said, the canceled tour in 94 was the beginning of his vocal issues but at the same time it’s impressive how it seemed like around 2015 he was nailing stuff like beyond the weel again which is something I thought wouldn’t happen again
@@kiwi84ryan His vocal chords were definitely damaged from that tour which is why he changed the way he sang later on. The thing is though his voice still sounded VERY similar on Down On The Upside and even Euphoria Mourning. You could really here where his voice had strain during the Audioslave touring days where he was drinking more heavily. Cornell had even spoken about it in interviews before.
One of the greatest vocalists we have ever had on this planet. He had a talent for songwriting, and his lyrics are pure poetry coupling that into his range and vocal timbre that surpassed several octaves, Cornell was unique in everything he did and his art touched so many, may he rest in peace CHRIS!!!
Can you do Soundgarden Beyond The Wheel live in Germany from April 16th 1990, please? I always get goosebumps from this song. The man was and will always be the greatest voice in my opinion as well as Layne Staley. Love your reviews!
@@barbabietola I'd say that comparing Cornell and Staley is like comparing apples and oranges. Cornell might be the more technically gifted singer, but Layne had unmatched, unique character to his voice.
Amazing Beth! Please more Chris Cornell, maybe Say hello 2 Heaven or Hunger Strike next. Chris has got to be my favorite rock singer of all time, 4 octave vocal range. RIP Chris 🎸🤘
You nailed what I was thinking... Say Hello 2 Heaven! That song to me is Chris Cornell at his best. This song (Black Rain) is an impressive vocal performance for sure, but his voice on Say Hello 2 Heaven has so much more soul and feel.
Hey Beth. Chris never really sang badly. His voice was very strained during Audioslave, but came back when Soundgarden reunited and he was healthier. His prime was ‘91 to about ‘99 after his first solo record. If you’ve been impressed by the videos seen so far, to witness Chris in the early ‘90s will blow your mind. I could name every song I know for an example, but I’ll give three: Beyond the Wheel live in Toronto ‘92 at the 54.00 minute mark. Birth Ritual from Singles bluray Say Hello 2 Heaven live at Moore Theatre ‘90
Bonzo yeah the AIC concert is legendary. Can you imagine seeing a concert there every weekend, the wealth of talent in that scene, beyond the big 4 even?
Dan Maler I agree. Hunger Strike was late ‘90, the fall that year. His voice already sounded a little different than on Loud Love. It’s like he was still fine tuning his instrument. Maybe it was living with Andy and recording some music with him. Maybe it was the moustache. Lol
I sincerely love your responses, both the technique and personal emotional responses - they show you not only know your stuff - but that you don’t let the science behind it ruin your love of the art. It’s refreshing. And you always smile when the emotions hit as intended. You have a great ear for infectious vocal emotion. Thanks for doing this, especially on Chris Cornell songs 😊
@@JonathanKippers his live vocals are more nasal to protect his voice live. Considering he's doing three projects at a time, I'm fine with that. Chris is a great rock vocalist but I find Myles' cleaner vocals lend itself to more genres of rock and compliment the guitar a bit nicer than Cornell's voice. His vibrato lines nicely with that twang of both rock and acoustic guitars. Cornell's voice mixes nice with the distortion. As for writing, that's entirely subjective. I connect more with Myles' writing than Chris', but that doesn't take away from Cornell's lyrical ability.
While his voice indeed recovered in time for Soundgarden's reunion (but sounded relatively thin, like in this performance) and as few live shows as Temple actually played (let alone that song), about the only one that does full justice is from the Moore: ua-cam.com/video/Bgsg9xfsSoc/v-deo.html
Great video. It is crazy to think that Chris would perform 2.5 to 3 hours long sometimes. I went to a Soundgarden show and his vocals punched through for 3 hours.
When I turned on your video and Chris Cornell's shrieking voice came in overtop of that muck-ridden guitar sound I went immediately back to the late-80's early 90's. His voice is like an attacking hawk descending quickly down your spine. You laid out the technical aspects of how he did this well.
In terms of Grunge Music. Chris Cornel and Layne Staley are the wailing sirens of Grunge, while Eddie Vedder has that Lion Voice. Oh yeah. Why is Scott Weiland so underrated!!?
@@disappearingone11 So true. Mark isn't far off Chris as my favourite vocalist. Have you listened to his album Black Pudding with Duke Garwood? Pentecostal is something else
Chris Cornell has been in my top 3 favorite musicians for almost 30 years and I love seeing people react when they get a taste of some Loud Love. Damn I still really miss his spirit being here with us 😧
I have to say that braid you're rockin' is a heartbreaker. As for the music, no matter how much I learn about the different techniques there are for singing, Cornell's voice is one that blows me away every single time. From his range to his stamina, all the way to his ability to truly express whatever he's singing about. Of course, he's not the only one who could do that, but I would argue one of the world's best.

Thanks for the reactions on Chris Cornell. One of the best rock vocalist ever. To me the best are Ronnie James Dio and Chris Cornell hands down. They never put out a bad song. They both had that power and range to make you think and grab a sword like a knight. Well, at least for me lol. I would love you to react to 2 great songs from these singers please, please Beth. Stargazer by Ronnie James Dio in the band Rainbow and Slaves and Bulldozers by Chris Cornell of Soundgarden please. I promise you won’t be disappointed but very amazed. Excellent lyrics from both of these men. Makes you think and really want to pump your fists. It’s such a shame they are no longer here. I cried when each of them left us. So I say may they both Rock In Peace!!
I was gonna suggest this as well. That performance is so great, but Black specifically is beautiful. Gives me the feels every time, no matter how much I watch it.
I saw Soundgarden for their louder than love tour. 20 feet away from the stage his voice was blowing our hair back, you could actually hear him over top of the PA system.
I truly love your channel, your passion for what you do, your open mind for new music... that makes me feel gladly old, looking at young people reacting to "new stuff", and for sure it makes me proud of my Rock n' Roll roots baby!!! Some artist are far beyond death..... that´s how their greatness is shown. Chris will be always remembered in every song, in every sound.
I love that you're diving into Chris Cornell's career. Please please please react to Chris Cornell's song As Hope and Promise Fade. The Walmart Sound check version. You will love it! So much emotion and such a raw feel. Love the channel!
You look beautiful, it is very pleasant to follow you and you’re very good as a vocal coach..Chris was one of the greatest singers on the planet..Greetings from Italy!
Not early! Legendary though because he suddenly regained his clear and powerful high notes. He even smiles at one point because he must have been thrilled to be back. Miss him all the time.
Beyond the Wheel, Slaves and Bulldozers, Limo Wreck, July 4th WHY IS IT THAT WHEN I’VE LISTENED TO ONE A MILLION TIMES THERE’S ALWAYS ANOTHER LEGENDARY SONG IN LINE TO TOP IT!!!!??!!??
LOL this is Chris, whos almost 50 hitting incredible notes. He was in his prime during the badmotorfinger.temple of the dog era. Before 91 his voice was great but so powerful and untamed. From superunknown on his voice was just not what it was before. Still great but it was changing. His live performances were hit and miss. Some of rocks greatest singers had to go through voice changes. Robert Plant, to me, was the best rock belter of all time from 68-71. Wrecked his voice.
@@rickchyczewski576 do you think? I never really thought I heard Plant degrade really at all. I'll admit to not sitting and listening to a lot of the late 60's live stuff. It was always mentioned that Chris did not take care of his voice in the least. Smoking until the mid to late naughts, he wouldn't warm up really, etc. We never really heard Layne Staley change and have to adapt to a different voice, wonder how that would have turned out. Go check out the dude from the band Steelheart and his voice and how it aged... Or Tony Harnell from the band TNT. Another voice I've just been reminded of is Marc Torien(sp?) from the band Bullet Boys, wonder how he handled getting older. Just thinking out loud now. :)
@@ianmason2003 if you listen to Zeppelin and their bootlegs you will hear it. Plant was one of the best if not the best. The rumor was he degraded until he had surgery. A lot of physical graphitti features plant with a raspy voice that is pretty bad. A lot of that album was recorded much earlier. The key with plant for those that are not crazy fans is the song over the hills and far away. He nailed that song live. Going into 72 he could no longer do it. His voice was so bad during some 72,73 shows, fans should have been refunded. Again he kept pushing and making it worse. He did retrain his voice and what he used at the end of the 70s and during his solo work was very beautiful. Just not greatest of all time.
@@rickchyczewski576 I'll check that out. Hard to stay on top forever. I think we will see the guy from Greta Van Fleet wear himself out also. Speaking of Plant. lol
So, fun fact this is a later version of Chris Cornell because this is after Soundgardens reunion (whenever avengers happened because they did a track for that movie), and this song is a song written in the 2010s.
@@kendooley8240 While it was written for their album Badmotorfinger and a product of those recording sessions, it was only released in 2010 on their compilation album Telephantasm. So in a manner, Chris Cornell is performing a song from his younger days with his older, more mature voice.
This was a song that was recorded in 1991 and they touched it up in 2010. He added some vocal overdubs in 2010 but 90 percent of the vocals were recorded in 1991 when his voice was just other worldly. This performance is great but his original vocal from 1991 was just mind blowing. He is using alot more head voice on this one where as on the original the vocal had alot more chest voice and was a much thicker coarser vocal but you can tell when you listen to the original that he was doing alot of damage.
Nooo, the Instagram voters are misinformed! Gotta go way back to the early '90s for the best Cornell stuff. "Outshined", "Hunger Strike", "Burden in my Hands"
The first scream of Junkhead is enough to be satisfied and get my share of music for the entire day. It can make up a 3-seconds-long song and still would have more quality than many things out there, at least for my ears.
Welcome to SOUNDGARDEN Beth ❤️ so sweet looking back at this one, you gave so much respect in your lovely way, breath and honey and water soooh sweet 🤪✌️
Chris Cornell had a 4 octave vocal range If you heard him singing another song, you probably wouldn't recognize him One of the most amazing singers ever. RIP Chris
Interesting what you were saying about the relaxed way Chris used to cruise through the seemingly impossible. I totally agree, that gave him his control & ability to keep singing so well with such range as long as he did. Vedder on the other hand who pours everything into his performances and has done for 30 years has totally wrecked his voice & is no longer able to get anywhere near his early performances. Not that they're comparable as singers, they're not, but that energy you mention is what's really noticeable. Chris was trained & new his craft so well to aid his huge talent. Ed is just a power house of emotion as a person and you couldn't keep him calm & controlled if you tried, even at the expense of his longevity. People are amazing! Great channel, great insights.
Late to the commentary, but, this song, despite being very old, was recorded in this live around 2010 or so, I think. So... It's amazing Old Chris hitting all those notes the amazing Young Chris could hit.
Chris was from another planet,i am huge rock n roll fan ,when i was 13 when i found out about SG and Chris and immediately he jumped to my 1st place as "the voice",please do " Beyond The Wheel live in Germany from April 16th 1990"..That is so powerful also!!
This is not an early example, when Audioslave broke up, he did some solo stuff and then got Soundgarden back together. This is from that album they released in 2010 if i'm not mistaken.
I can't wait for you to continue going through his song catalog...Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Audioslave, solo and collaborations...the stuff you'll hear!
Dear Miss Beth, would you consider doing Audioslave the song is called Cochise. Chris Cornell is so powerful and so almost dark in his vocal. But it is very very moving. thank you for your time and I really do enjoy your observations and you have a very fun side to you. With respect always, Brant Heavner 😊😊 Hugs 😊
Here are the most AMAZING Cornell voice`s track ever. Please, the world needs a vocal coach reacting to this... Soundgarden - Slaves & Bulldozers Soundgarden - Beyond the Wheel Soundgarden - Cold Bitch Soundgarden - Birth Ritual
Lotta people saying “check him in his prime” ...THIS is his prime! Best tone, control, pitch, power... only thing he REALLY lost (barely) in his later years was his strength in higher register vibrato.
The prime of his vocals is like talking about Michael Jordan 89-93 versus 96-98. He learned how to use all his offensive weapons to perfection in the later years but not all of them were as deadly sharp. There’s a mastery of subtle technique and precision over explosive, unmatched power/ability. It’s all awesome to me either way.
Sweet Euphoria from his first solo album Euphoria Mourning is basically a live track and a great example of his power with just an acoustic guitar and showcases the soul in his voice which I always appreciated more than how high he could sing
Amazing reaction to Chris Cornell he's one of my all time faves. Please react to some solo john frusciante or his amazing covers he did while in rhcp. ✌❤🤘
Hey Beth, great video as usual ! Spencer Sotelo is one of my favorite singers, and there's a fairly good quality vid of him singing Garden in the Bones live, right before he got sick on tour. He's self taught so it would be really interesting to hear what you have to say about him.
You're gonna flip when you hear what this dude could do in the 90s

You're on a Chris Cornell roll! Great content
Paul Atreides , she’s BEEN on it dude! Try not to speak to loudly... she might hear us and do NYSYNC or some shit...
Chris Cornell was the whole package. Thank goodness for the large body of work he left behind ❤
This song is my favorite display of Chris' ability.
He could span multiple octaves flawlessly.
Great singer great review Beth, another one Gone Too Soon in life that had so much talent. We Love You Beth, big hugs in the USA
Beyond the wheel- Live Germany 1990
Say Hell to Heaven- Live at the moore
Black Rain, yes. One of my favorites. You have to listen the studio version. His voice from his 26’s and his 46’s were mixed.
That's Chris Cornell one of the best rock vocalist ever.
Thanks for the reactions on Chris Cornell. One of the best rock vocalist ever. To me the best are Ronnie James Dio and Chris Cornell hands down. They never put out a bad song. They both had that power and range to make you think and grab a sword like a knight. Well, at least for me lol. I would love you to react to 2 great songs from these singers please, please Beth. Stargazer by Ronnie James Dio in the band Rainbow and Slaves and Bulldozers by Chris Cornell of Soundgarden please. I promise you won’t be disappointed but very amazed. Excellent lyrics from both of these men. Makes you think and really want to pump your fists. It’s such a shame they are no longer here. I cried when each of them left us. So I say may they both Rock In Peace!!
Please react to black by pearl jam unplugged
@Yak1B it's only one song
@Yak1B I mentioned to review the song "black"
@Yak1B that's Allright haha
I was gonna suggest this as well. That performance is so great, but Black specifically is beautiful. Gives me the feels every time, no matter how much I watch it.
Yes please,but better studio versión.
I saw Soundgarden for their louder than love tour. 20 feet away from the stage his voice was blowing our hair back, you could actually hear him over top of the PA system.
I truly love your channel, your passion for what you do, your open mind for new music... that makes me feel gladly old, looking at young people reacting to "new stuff", and for sure it makes me proud of my Rock n' Roll roots baby!!! Some artist are far beyond death..... that´s how their greatness is shown. Chris will be always remembered in every song, in every sound.
Great review of an incredible rock(ing) voice. Thank you !
I love that you're diving into Chris Cornell's career. Please please please react to Chris Cornell's song As Hope and Promise Fade. The Walmart Sound check version. You will love it! So much emotion and such a raw feel. Love the channel!
Thank you for covering so much of Chris' music!! ❤
We all know Chris Cornell was the shit , saw them in 1988, at Santa Barbara bowl, was incredible
Yes! Thank you so much for reacting to this masterpiece!
This was the first TV appearance of Soundgarden in 13 years, appearing on Conan in 2010.
Been binging these videos. Always get a chuckle out of the doo doo doo doo doo roar at the start.
I've seen a ton of bands live....Chris doing "Beyond the Wheel" live is still the most impressive live song I've ever witnessed....easily.
You look beautiful, it is very pleasant to follow you and you’re very good as a vocal coach..Chris was one of the greatest singers on the planet..Greetings from Italy!
Not early! Legendary though because he suddenly regained his clear and powerful high notes. He even smiles at one point because he must have been thrilled to be back. Miss him all the time.
Chris Cornell: Sunshower
I really appreciate & respect your reaction/critique videos! Please continue. You do a great breakdown so I prefer to watch your videos.
YES! Thank you for not only doing bands most popular songs. Between this and Love Hate Love you’ve made me subscribe. You’re awesome Beth.
It is about 20 years late to be an 'early example of Chris Cornell' but a great example of what he could do, all the same. Thanks for the video.
Yeah absolutely, this is a post reunion performance. He's like 50 here
If you want to hear early Chris Cornell power listen to Jesus Christ Pose!!!
Exactly what I was thinking Jesus christ pose best song ever ... sounds more metal than grunge
Go listen to Cold Bitch it blows the doors off JCP
Beyond the Wheel, Slaves and Bulldozers, Limo Wreck, July 4th WHY IS IT THAT WHEN I’VE LISTENED TO ONE A MILLION TIMES THERE’S ALWAYS ANOTHER LEGENDARY SONG IN LINE TO TOP IT!!!!??!!??
This is not early soundgarden. This is nearing the end.
Try the song “beyond the wheel” live in Germany like circa 1990.
LOL this is Chris, whos almost 50 hitting incredible notes. He was in his prime during the badmotorfinger.temple of the dog era. Before 91 his voice was great but so powerful and untamed. From superunknown on his voice was just not what it was before. Still great but it was changing. His live performances were hit and miss. Some of rocks greatest singers had to go through voice changes. Robert Plant, to me, was the best rock belter of all time from 68-71. Wrecked his voice.
@@rickchyczewski576 do you think? I never really thought I heard Plant degrade really at all. I'll admit to not sitting and listening to a lot of the late 60's live stuff. It was always mentioned that Chris did not take care of his voice in the least. Smoking until the mid to late naughts, he wouldn't warm up really, etc.
We never really heard Layne Staley change and have to adapt to a different voice, wonder how that would have turned out.
Go check out the dude from the band Steelheart and his voice and how it aged... Or Tony Harnell from the band TNT. Another voice I've just been reminded of is Marc Torien(sp?) from the band Bullet Boys, wonder how he handled getting older. Just thinking out loud now. :)
@@ianmason2003 if you listen to Zeppelin and their bootlegs you will hear it. Plant was one of the best if not the best. The rumor was he degraded until he had surgery. A lot of physical graphitti features plant with a raspy voice that is pretty bad. A lot of that album was recorded much earlier. The key with plant for those that are not crazy fans is the song over the hills and far away. He nailed that song live. Going into 72 he could no longer do it. His voice was so bad during some 72,73 shows, fans should have been refunded. Again he kept pushing and making it worse. He did retrain his voice and what he used at the end of the 70s and during his solo work was very beautiful. Just not greatest of all time.
@@rickchyczewski576 I'll check that out. Hard to stay on top forever. I think we will see the guy from Greta Van Fleet wear himself out also. Speaking of Plant. lol
Hey! Here is my reaction to Greta Van Fleet: ua-cam.com/video/GthEe1wztPg/v-deo.html
So, fun fact this is a later version of Chris Cornell because this is after Soundgardens reunion (whenever avengers happened because they did a track for that movie), and this song is a song written in the 2010s.
This song was written around ‘89-90.
@@kendooley8240 While it was written for their album Badmotorfinger and a product of those recording sessions, it was only released in 2010 on their compilation album Telephantasm. So in a manner, Chris Cornell is performing a song from his younger days with his older, more mature voice.
LOVE this song
♡♡♡♡♡
Chris was a freak of nature.
Chris has a beautiful raw power voice
This was a song that was recorded in 1991 and they touched it up in 2010. He added some vocal overdubs in 2010 but 90 percent of the vocals were recorded in 1991 when his voice was just other worldly. This performance is great but his original vocal from 1991 was just mind blowing. He is using alot more head voice on this one where as on the original the vocal had alot more chest voice and was a much thicker coarser vocal but you can tell when you listen to the original that he was doing alot of damage.
Pearl jam-black(unplugged) pleaseeeee!!!!
Nooo, the Instagram voters are misinformed! Gotta go way back to the early '90s for the best Cornell stuff. "Outshined", "Hunger Strike", "Burden in my Hands"
I mean this is amazing though
Wrong. Late 80's when he did Loud Love.
Hey! here is my reaction to Temple of the Dog - Hunger Strike: ua-cam.com/video/Px21dbt7hb4/v-deo.html
We still miss you Chris. To anyone reading this - reach out to a friend. They might need it - or you might need it yourself.
He was a badass singer and performer!!
Please do "wake up" by mad season. Or "junkhead' live by alice in chains
The first scream of Junkhead is enough to be satisfied and get my share of music for the entire day. It can make up a 3-seconds-long song and still would have more quality than many things out there, at least for my ears.
It’s gotta be the live version of Junkhead!! Legendary
“This is mental stuff! Absolutely mental!”
Welcome to SOUNDGARDEN Beth ❤️ so sweet looking back at this one, you gave so much respect in your lovely way, breath and honey and water soooh sweet 🤪✌️
Oh thank you!
Vocal coach who left me speechless 🤪
2 years ago tonight. *We miss you so much, Chris.* #SayHello2Heaven
'Fell on Black Days' live at Sirius was fantastic. Worth watching.
Chris Cornell had a 4 octave vocal range
If you heard him singing another song, you probably wouldn't recognize him
One of the most amazing singers ever.
RIP Chris
One of the top 10 voices in rock of any sub-genre. Easily. Probably top 5 vocalist. Chris Cornell was too amazing.
Undeniably iconic voice.
Interesting what you were saying about the relaxed way Chris used to cruise through the seemingly impossible. I totally agree, that gave him his control & ability to keep singing so well with such range as long as he did. Vedder on the other hand who pours everything into his performances and has done for 30 years has totally wrecked his voice & is no longer able to get anywhere near his early performances. Not that they're comparable as singers, they're not, but that energy you mention is what's really noticeable. Chris was trained & new his craft so well to aid his huge talent. Ed is just a power house of emotion as a person and you couldn't keep him calm & controlled if you tried, even at the expense of his longevity. People are amazing! Great channel, great insights.
Late to the commentary, but, this song, despite being very old, was recorded in this live around 2010 or so, I think. So... It's amazing Old Chris hitting all those notes the amazing Young Chris could hit.
Chris was from another planet,i am huge rock n roll fan ,when i was 13 when i found out about SG and Chris and immediately he jumped to my 1st place as "the voice",please do " Beyond The Wheel live in Germany from April 16th 1990"..That is so powerful also!!
Alice in Chains - Down in a Hole
The unplugged one right?
@@Noah-wv9ws Yes!
Man in the box
Hey! Here is my reaction to Down in a Hole: xua-cam.com/video/PdIUUDIWvEc/v-deo.html
Awesome selection!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really hard to watch this today as two years ago we lost Chris and the loss is still felt hugely for me today
This is not an early example, when Audioslave broke up, he did some solo stuff and then got Soundgarden back together. This is from that album they released in 2010 if i'm not mistaken.
I can't wait for you to continue going through his song catalog...Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Audioslave, solo and collaborations...the stuff you'll hear!
Dear Miss Beth, would you consider doing Audioslave the song is called Cochise. Chris Cornell is so powerful and so almost dark in his vocal. But it is very very moving. thank you for your time and I really do enjoy your observations and you have a very fun side to you. With respect always, Brant Heavner 😊😊 Hugs 😊
Here are the most AMAZING Cornell voice`s track ever. Please, the world needs a vocal coach reacting to this...
Soundgarden - Slaves & Bulldozers
Soundgarden - Beyond the Wheel
Soundgarden - Cold Bitch
Soundgarden - Birth Ritual
Lotta people saying “check him in his prime”
...THIS is his prime!
Best tone, control, pitch, power...
only thing he REALLY lost (barely) in his later years was his strength in higher register vibrato.
The prime of his vocals is like talking about Michael Jordan 89-93 versus 96-98. He learned how to use all his offensive weapons to perfection in the later years but not all of them were as deadly sharp. There’s a mastery of subtle technique and precision over explosive, unmatched power/ability. It’s all awesome to me either way.
This is pure gold!
A great early example of Chris’ vocal range in my opinion would be when he performed the song “Beyond the Wheel” at their Germany 1990 show.
React to Pearl Jam- Black(MTV Unplugged)
Ana Velazquez why? Meh.
Sweet Euphoria from his first solo album Euphoria Mourning is basically a live track and a great example of his power with just an acoustic guitar and showcases the soul in his voice which I always appreciated more than how high he could sing
Check out the acapella version of this song recorded in the 90's its absolutely insane . Probably one of the most powerful rock vocals ever recorded.
matt is such a great drummer.
Alice In Chains: Right Turn
Best song there ever was my dude.
Tom C just a recommendation for you bud, Soundgarden Zero Chance. Deep
Mate, Jerry, layne, Chris and Mark arm all singing in one song. I mean come on we were spoiled
Amazing reaction to Chris Cornell he's one of my all time faves. Please react to some solo john frusciante or his amazing covers he did while in rhcp. ✌❤🤘
Freakin Chris....effortless.
The greatest of all time
Soundgarden WAS the 90s for me. Defined my teenage years.
Thank you Beth!! 😊🤘❤
Another great video Beth thanks a Lot a fallen Idol is a leyend
Grunge has produced some of the greatest singers ever. Glad to see them getting represented.
Hey Beth, great video as usual !
Spencer Sotelo is one of my favorite singers, and there's a fairly good quality vid of him singing Garden in the Bones live, right before he got sick on tour. He's self taught so it would be really interesting to hear what you have to say about him.
Just found this channel. Yay, I'm staying up late to binge watch another awesome UA-camr... Goodbye, sleep...
