Audioslave - The Chris Cornell Story ┃ Documentary

- On July 20, 1964, Christopher John Cornell was born in Seattle, Washington. Although he was born as Christopher John Boyle and would later adopt the surname Cornell from his mother Karen, a self-proclaimed psychic of Jewish descent.
Chris’s father was of Irish Catholic descent, so Cornell attended a Catholic elementary school during his early years. Cornell was born into a family of 5 siblings and despite attending a strictly religious school, started to show early signs of troublesome behaviour.
Coming out of the baby boom era of America, Cornell’s neighbourhood was full of other children of all ages. Chris would spend most of his time hanging out with kids older than him and being exposed to darker temptations.

Out of respect for Chris Cornell and his family, we will not be detailing his final days.
His legacy should be his music. His legacy should be how he lived.
Remember Chris Cornell for the life he lived, and the music he shared with us.

Thank you SO much for this!!!! My heart skipped a beat when I realized you had created this.
My heart will always be broken, but beautiful work like yours helps for sure.
We lost a man this world so badly needed.
Carolyn loughran omg I just seen this on Fb and my heart did the same I swear
Right on!
This was AMAZING, thank you! Chris Cornell one of my favorite artists ever, his legacy lives on in our hearts! ❤
3 years wait was the appropriate time for this..thanks for waiting. Along with the big commercial release of Patience (sang by Cornell) a month ago and even for Sevendust to release a big commercial cover of Day I Tried to Live a month ago also. I think most big fans like me would have rejected this stuff any earlier..but now after 3 long years without him and everything else that's gone on this year (2020) we were all ready for some Cornell. RIP Chris
As a 75 year old grandma, Chris was a fresh breathe of music to me! Loved his music! Still do listen. Besides being a beautiful man, his voice was incredible!
I'm a 61 year old grandma of 10 and counting . I love this music . I told my friend that we are going into a rest home rocking out .
LOVE YOU RAMONA....
This 57 year old is right there with you gals...
@@kreynolds6424 I am 61 and love this music . I told my friend we will be the first generation rocking out at the rest home . lol
@@anitaireland2731 bless your heart, i will be rockin right along with you, lol... ✌
I had a moment with Chris Cornell at the baggage claim at LGA Airport in NYC. He noticed I recognized him when we were standing next to each other. I greeted him, shook his hand told him I was a fan and enjoyed listening to his music (Soundgarden and Audioslave). He responded by saying thank you for listening, there's more to come.
Awesomeness ❤
Lucky dog!
Huge PJ fan..for PJ not to be at his memorial spells conspiracy
:)
Temple of the dog was very good to
The day Chris passed I kicked my 120 mg day oxy habit cold turkey over 17 days of P.A.W.S. And in his death he gave me life! I will always look as the day I was reborn!!! His music lives on in all who love and live there lives. Let’s remember mental health crisis in America and try to help one person through their black hole sun.
Wow, That's powerful! I'm glad you were able to do that. I know first hand how hard it is.
WoW, what a powerful comment. I wish he would have seen how he helped so many while he was living. Now in death, he is still helping many.
🤜🏽💥🤛🏽 Stay in the fight brother!
I bet he’s love to know that - 👍
I respect you,courage, sensitivity, intelligence. Addiction is a disease; keep coming back,know that you have support and caring.
Chris Cornell helped me escape the clutches of severe depression. Listing to his songs was almost like having someone think and feel the same way as I did at the time. He somehow had the ability to capture in words what it feels like to suffer from depression and drug addiction, and he somehow had the skills to make u feel like it’s ok and that your not alone in all of this. R.I.P Chris Cornell
Love your music, your voice & you re still very much with us... thanks chris
No one sings like you anymore...
Underrated comment
So?
I think he was probably being sarcastic that after Chris died those lyrics were ' milked ' to death..Even fucking tee shirts printed with it on ,if the money had gone to charities that Soundgarden supported esp youth/ music charities then it would have been fine,but sadly it was yet another £££ cashing in on a really tragic death.

loser
One of the best vocalists of all time! I'm a woman, and when other girls my age wanted to sing like Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston, I wanted to sound like Chris. 😂
✌🏻💞
Same here. 🥰
Me too.My mom thought I was weird
Yeah ...him an layne
@@joshc4927 Layne is my fav all time. Chris is right there with him but Mad Season put Layne over the top for me. 🎤🎤
Chris Cornell has been hands down the hardest celebrity loss for me. My dad really got me into his music. Chris Cornell was an amazing artist, and on a personal level, one that really bared the strongest connection and channel of memories of my dad, who I lost at the end of 2008 when I was about to turn 18. When Chris took his own life in 2017, I was at my mom and stepdad's house, who I was living right next door to at the time. We were sitting in the livingroom watching the news when a segment came on about Chris Cornell taking his own life, and it was the first I had heard about it. I just kinda froze and my eyes welled up. My mom knew how much I adored the guy, and she saw how I was reacting and she was like "Yeah... I heard about this earlier. Are you gonna be okay?" And I was just like "Yeah... I think I just need to go home..." and I got home and sat on my couch and just started bawling. I'll never stop enjoying his music, but there are some days that listening to it will trigger some intense emotions...
I really believe there was foul play..
It's sad
He didn't take his own life
He didn't do it
I truly believe it had something to do with trying to out the scum abusing children-
Layne Staley was the hardest one for me, even though us big time fans knew it was coming- but Chris was a such a great singer and man, and humble to no end right there with Layne!
Soo great sad, as I sit here listening to Layne singing with aic and Mad Season..
A few deaths have really shaken me, and Chris is one, along with Heath Ledger, Chester Bennington, and Keith Flint from The Prodigy. As someone who has suffered from depression for over 25 years, I know how hard it is to function under that black cloud. I just wish they would’ve held on. Life really does get better. My love to anyone fighting this out there. I hear you.
Same! Chris Cornell's death hit me hard. I think I'm still in denial. He was one month older than me (not that he knew that!!) and I felt a deep kinship with him, and his depression. Then Chester Bennington died and, at first I was angry that he died on Chris's birthday but now I just miss him and new music by L.P. Heath Ledger's death rocked me hard too. So much talent!! Although, not intentional suicide, I include Prince in this group. There are so many more that I miss. We all have/had depression. I feel a kinship with all of them.
At least they got to make music and the world heard it idek if I'll get that far anymore
@@soso-mx8nb Are you okay? What do you mean you don't even know if you'll get that far?
@@lelapena54 I just don't know, I'm a naturally very strong optimistic person but my life feels like a series of unfortunate events, it may seem dramatic but it's true it's just a lot some times. I never really want to die because there's so much I want to live for but I'm scared of just going into a manic state one day and doing something. It hurts so much cause I KNOW I have it in me to be a great musician and it hurts to obsess over music the way I do and not record my own but I can't right now. It just feels like my life has been stolen already in so many ways. I try to have hope and remember other people have it worse but it's hard. Thanks for asking. I'm having a really hard time today again so it helped someone cared to ask.
@@soso-mx8nb Please hang in there. I know it’s hard. Sometimes I just tell myself over and over “This too shall pass” over and over some more. Nothing really lasts forever. 💜
He was such a beautiful soul. I am so grateful for the musical legacy he left.
Hell yes!
Amen!! I have to admit, I was young I didn't really know them until Rusty Cage. I was explaining to my parents ( also rock fans) listen to this!! it's rock, but it's grungy, it's a new age of rock. It's f****** awesome, so continuing my love for rock, I fell in love with this new grunge Rock sound. It did not a replace my love for our classic rock, just a monumental new age of rock. I never left my parents grassroots Rock, we just expanded it. Most people who loved the new age sound continued to love all rock simultaneously. My CD collection still consists of ZZ Top ( my dad was a musician. I grew up playing along side my dad's classic rock band ) Metallica, lanyard, all our great classics and all our great new rock bands, like every single band Chris Cornell had been part of. We have so many artists and musicians all around the world, when was the last time a fresh new sound that was loved across the globe happened? Our era of rave and trance was also born within our generation. We had it all in 90's. I love music... Has anything else musicality came to take hold?? Most everything offered can fit into a general file of rock, rap, country, pop, jazzy blues and chorus type. Musicians can be put into categories. Musicians circa 80's to early 2000s were adding new genre of music. True artists.

Absolutely😎
Never forget these lyrics or Chris Cornell.
Pearls and swine bereft of me
Long and weary my road has been
I was lost in the cities
Alone in the hills
No sorrow or pity for leaving I feel
I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky
Friends and liars don't wait for me
I'll get on all by myself
I put millions of miles
Under my heels
And still too close to you
I feel
I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky
I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightning
I am not your autumn moon
I am the night
The night
We miss you Chris, but we understand.
R.I.P. Brother.
Well said. I hate that I understand. I wish I didn't.
That was beautiful....thank you. WE will never forget.
YES
I'm crying for Chris and all the others who couldn't hold on.
We understand 😔
That's my favourite Chris's song also my neighbour's whether they like it or not.
I first discovered Chris Cornell through Audioslave as a 12 year old. Along with Linkin Park, Pearl Jam, and Blue October, I finally felt like I could listen to music that spoke to me and my mental health.
As I got older, I would begin to sing his tracks at karaoke to little fanfare.
When he passed, I was devastated. I always wanted to meet him and show him how he impacted my life, and to hear that he took his own..it felt bleak.
From 2017 to now, I STILL routinely sing his songs to dive bar crowds, to varying levels of applause; but more importantly, ive had people approach me afterward and we would have great discussions about how he changed us. How he gave us hope for OUR depression. OUR addictions. He made us stronger. Sp even though he is no longer with us, I can rest knowing that even if he didnt think so, he helped heal my generation.
Thank you Chris. I hope your next life is kinder to you.
I can’t listen to Chris without a my heart skipping a beat and chills down my spine. Chris and Eddie Vedder, are my favourite male vocalists of all time!
Pj is my favorite band....Chris was murdered..have you looked into his homicide at all...it's quite alarming ...
Same. They are my two too.
@@thirdeyeordie8226 I’ve looked into it. What’s your theory regarding his death?
@@catmilf79 well the bodyguard seems to be last to see him alive so you start there...blood on the floor, broken ribs, wound on his head, pictures of the bodyguard and Vicky holding hands in Europe with her mother in law in tow the whole family...Vicky's action towards her step daughter. ..PJ not being at the memorial, except SG Matt Cameron. .but Love, Linda , and Pitt hmmm..and where is the documentary Silent Children Brad????
I like your taste a lot:)
Chris will never be forgotten!!!! Like a stone is one of my favorites and will always hit me in the feels especially because his voice is just so beautiful and haunting
Same here like a stone for some reason put I grasp on me I have always had a connection to that song
Me2
The video tho... mmmm
Lot of raw emotion in that song, like myself I'm sure it's grabbed some part of many people.
I think Like A Stone is one of his most iconic songs and shows just how talented he was... The ease of which he sings it, even sitting down.
I saw him EVERY single time he was in Austin from 2003 until the last time he was here for a solo concert. He got me through my parents murder at 18 years young and ALL throughout my life! Chris Cornell is the best and I miss the hell out of him. May he R.I.P.
I'm very sorry about your parents 💔😢
Sorry to hear about your loss. 😥
@@kylehegedus5498 thank you sooo much
@@carlasullivan3637 thank you sooo much darling
You’re welcome. Hugs
I'm 68 yrs young n have heard every type of music there is. Chris was a godsend for all of us. Very beautiful person inside n out. ❤. RIP 🙏
R u The Blondie? I do have to agree with you and many others, Chris was a Godsend and with great talent. And if I'm commenting to THE Blondie, WOW, I have loved and enjoyed your music for many moons, since my adolescence.
Got to hang with him one time after a show at the foundation room in Dallas. He seemed so numb and bored. Nice guy and one of the greatest rock voices ever
Probably completely exhausted from touring and likely his addiction problems too. If it was after his 2nd marriage, maybe he'd rather have been at home with his family but needed to tour re signed contracts and his wife's materialistic habits.
@@bingonamo7520 lol.. wanted u to leave so he could get high..
Ask me how I know
@@jessieraykeaton3777 However, his thing was only prescription drugs and they don't particularly get you that high, unless you're on some kinds of painkillers maybe.
i used to own a club for 7 years.
it does get more taxing than ur average job for these performers after a couple of years of doing it. it feels hollow.
been hanging out with bands for the past 20 years. drugs isnt the only problem. burnout is worse and with a mix of drugs thrown into it, their lives are often in constant mess.
@@MrNajibrazak I was just reading a book (Bodies: Life and Death in Music, by Ian Winwood) about it. Rock musicians are far more likely to feel suicidal and to die from overdoses and suicide than your average member of the public. Just the nature of their sad or angry songs, tells you something about the kind of people they were to start with. It noted a survey done here in NZ where a huge percentage of NZ musicians felt suicidal and like they had little future (although overdoses and suicide amongst them isn't that common). In the book Cornell says he wasn't interested in drugs, he was an alcoholic and had to use drugs as hangover cures, so that he could perform later that night.
His voice literally changed my taste in music. Forever missed
_“Depression is such a cruel punishment._
_There are no fevers, no rashes, no blood tests to send people scurrying in concern,_
_just the slow erosion of self, as insidious as cancer._
_And like cancer, it is essentially a solitary experience; a room in hell with only your name_ _on the door”_
Martha Manning
It sucks so bad to find meaning in nothing at all. I could literally lock myself away in a room bye myself until my Time is up and I'd be happy. I hate it. Then there's the drugs smh. A blessing until it's a curse.
There's nothing worse than seeing everything as meaningless. And I don't know where it started or why. I was a happy kid with lots of interests and great attitude with integrity and self respect. Self confidence is now gone , I act on impulse and lost my integrity. I see meaning in nothing which makes anything pointless. Fuck man...

Also knowing what the Clintons did to the kids of Haiti didn't help . he was taken out by Podesta Hillary's pedo campaign manager.
@@Faladaena where are all the kids going ? #Saveourchildren
Chris Cornell was so good looking & those beautiful eyes, they're so hypnotic ! Sad that his life was cut so short & people should be aware how depression really hits people.
I suffer from depression and when it gets real bad I tend to listen to sad, angry and haunting types of music. I love grunge/ Alternative, that awesome seattle sound from the early 90's so I listen to that too. Some prefer happy but I'm the opposite because crying helps to get all the sadness and frustration out and I feel better for awhile. I remember back in 2011 when I quit Percocets cold turkey. I had been addicted since 2009 because I was taking them for sciatica but I kept asking my doctor for more each month until she stopped the prescription because she said I was taking more than a Cancer patient and she knew I had become addicted. I knew I was too because I was using them as an antidepressant, I thought it was my way out of depression but I was wrong because I went through the worst kind of depression imaginable. It was agonizing and debilitating, so bad I could barely get out of bed and I didn't want to visit my family or friends. I isolated myself and I listened to a lot of Chris's songs from his Soundgarden Grunge days. It really helped me get through that almost year long sadness. I cried a lot and was angry at myself and felt like Chris would relate to how I was feeling and I'll never forget the day I felt better and knew I had made it through that awful, dark year. It makes me sad to know Chris didn't make it through his life but If you believe in God as I do I know he's happy now and at peace. Sorry if all this sounds cheesy or exaggerated but it's the truth. I wish he knew how much he helped me get through the toughest year of my life.
Same here. I always turn to Chris's music when I'm down.
I completely understand you! I was addicted to Oxy's for 10 years. I chose to fix my life and have been clean for 3 years. I am in therapy and music is my coping skill. There is not a day that goes by where I dont rely on music for inner peace. Cudo's to anyone who can kick a habit...especially thru music therapy!
When my fiancé hung himself in our basement in 2019, Chris' music is the only thing that kept me from following right behind my fiancé. Particularly Sweet Euphoria, Sunshower, Seasons, Through The Window. I played them all on repeat for weeks. I have loved Chris' music since 1989. There will never be anyone who could begin to compare to Chris Cornell. He was a lyrical genius with a beautiful soul, and the best voice EVER. He was my friend, my light in the dark, always. He is loved and missed by millions, and will always be 💜
I am truly proud of you for getting thru your addiction and dark days, you are so strong and so blessed !!!
@@nevermind5321 Needed you today. Thank you. Just for BEING there. Being bipolar has raised me up hard. Hard. Im trying to be softer these days. Still fall down on dark ones. But today, I found you. You were my light today. That's all you gotta do. Just be here with me. Sounds easy. It's not.
I couldn’t listen to anything Chris sang on for a long time after the sad news. So this is really helpful to me.
Same
No offense.....BUT (what a seg right?!) b-u-t how on earth do you get so f’n caught up with someone you’ve probably never met, that you can’t listen to a damn song just because the singer died??? That just blows my mind!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE AC/DC but to think that just because Malcom died, I couldn’t dare listen to any AC/DC song?? WTF?? Was Chris a good singer? IDK..his stuff is lost on me but a lot of people love his/their music and that’s bitchin! But to be that affected by his death is lost on me. I just don’t understand it-and that’s cool. This world is built on diversity!
I can’t listen to certain songs I cry 😢
Dwaine Brosemer u don’t have to know them in person especially music if u
Listen to one singer for 20+ years ! Music is a powerful thing it makes u feel mad sad happy he is a genius his voice is one of a kind and he was a lyrical poet it’s a Chris Cornell / grunge/rock thing you wouldn’t understand!! Wow man he did pretty much every genre of music also in a album solo or just in a ft. Another singers song but always whatever he sang or covered he made it his own unique Version ! Music is a powerful thing sorry u don’t feel that it a great thing !
Dwaine Brosemer as you stated this world is built on diversity. It’s the sense of someone dying in the manner in which he died. Art affects everyone differently doesn’t it ,as does grief. We all process things different don’t we! Maybe if I was a lifelong fan of AC/DC and Malcolm young had died in the same way I would feel the same about that situation also.
Greatest of all time!! Never forgotten
I met Chris at my parents friend's house when I was about 14. He was married to someone related to their friends. My parents and them all went out to eat and to the bar.
My parents said that people would double take but probably didn't believe it was him. He was super nice, worldy, intelligent.
That's really cool. .
One Irish-American, One Indian-American and One Japanese-American formed one of my favourite band of all time! Soundgarden Rocks!!
Right on!
I can't imagine how a band formed by Chris Cornell, Freddie Mercury, Robert Plant and Bono will be!😀😅
soooo...3 Americans then?
Kim’s heritage is from the Middle East I think, not India though.
@@adampennington8954 - exactly. everyone here is from somewhere else
Still makes me extremely sad that he is gone.
Yea me too
I am grateful to have been in my 20s during the peak of this music era, to have had the naivety as well as the energy to have had these musicians as the soundtrack of the most carefree decade of my life. 💕
Me too!
SAME❤
A 72 baby here
Absolutely same experience
It amazes me how sensitive this generation of people are.
Some of the most heartfelt music comes from the 90s.
which generation? gen x is notorious for glorifying/rewarding abuse, neglect, violence, xenophobia and racism. boomers and gen x have brought us every single societal problem on earth today lol. and they act like toddler aged bullies with degrading nickname calling etc to people who try to fix their mess. pretty much a bunch of tiny trump clones in those gens. they killed all the decent folks in their generations because being a decent human being was seen as so uncool that it needs to be violently suppressed
The man had a great voice. His version of Nothing compares to you is mind blowing.
Definitely. I show everyone his "Nothing Compares To You" cover. Actually just did again the other day. Every single cover he does is amazing.
Grunge... The second I heard the new age rock, I was in love. My generation was blessed to bring it front and center. Kids across all walks of life joined together essentially throwing grunge in the spotlight. Amazing to be a part of this new sound.
I loved it and still do. It was short lived and that's what sucks. Todays so called Grunge is nothing compared to what the 1st real Grunge was.
Ive played professionally for over 20 years now, and Chris has always been the biggest influence to my songwriting. I could connect with his music, and his voice more than any other rock band I grew up on. I remember when he passed those people around me that were in my inner circle were calling me to check on me to see if I was ok and how I was taking the news. I grieved his loss really hard. I still have a hard time hearing him on certain tracks, if I'm emotionally drained ill avoid his music altogether. Many a time I will go for a cruise and I'm moved to tears often singing to the steering wheel when I know I need a good cry. He has contributed so much to Rock n Roll and to my life as a working musician, for that I am eternally grateful. RIP Chris! See u when I see u.
I miss him too. Like a friend gone.
I have never cried over a celebrity death until Chris Cornell's. I was so shocked and his voice still haunts me so much when I hear it now. I am going to get a tribute tattoo with the lyrics "to be yourself is all that you can do."
Same. Only one I've ever cried over. And I BAWLED.
@@dead_beatbunny me too. Everyone thought I was nuts. I told random strangers that day that I saw at the park with my son 😖 I am 33 so I didn't care that they thought I was a nutjob!
Same for me; I cried for days and days. I loved Chris since 1989. His voice saved my life many times. Such a beautiful soul with a phenomenal voice. Forever Loved, Forever Missed. Rest in Paradise Chris ♥️
I cried that day too. I’ve never cried about a rockstar passing but with Chris Cornell, I did. I remember that day very clearly too. I went over to watch a fashion show with a friend of mine because the silence of that day was just too quiet. I grew up on Sound Garden.
Same. I cried for days. I was in a depressive funk for months a year before Cornell died and "Show Me How to Live" came on the radio and completely pulled me out of it. There's still days songs like Like a Stone will make my eyes fill with tears
I think about Chris often and tears come to my eyes. His music was there in a deep, dark time in my life, bonding me to him forever. I love Chris Cornell and I miss him every day like I knew him.
We will never forget you Chris, forever loved, always missed.💔
Rest in peace Chris Cornell... You were one of the best rockers out there. You will NEVER be forgotten. Rock on in Heaven my brother!
I too could only listen to Soundgarden again, this year. I played them a lot when I lived by myself in around 93, 94. We didn’t really have any video clips in Australia then, so it was just the CD and your ears. The emotion of the music really resonated with me in my early 20s. Thank you to all members of Soundgarden and your families for the music and the memories. X

Don’t forget RAGE, Mtv & video hits
There's only ever been a few times when the death of a "celebrity" affected me emotionally. Chris Cornell was one of them.
Michael jackson affected me. My childhood...... gone
@brettt777 oh, yeah... In a way, you are and you are not surprised at the same time, with all those emotions, it was very hard and strong for me...
Same
Same. :(
I love this man so much. Your voice will always haunt me Chris. You left a mark.
I didn't know much about Chris Cornell apart from the music they played on TV. Growing up I did not have access to much.. but I have never cried as much as I did until I heard the news of his passing
Thank you so much for taking us on this journey. Sending love to his family and all who were touched by his music.
As much as this has been said...it is still so true- No one sings like you anymore
Yes ty 2 everyone who put this together
So true
I was devastated to hear the news. I always always wanted to see him live. RIP 🙏 young man. You are and always will be one of the best 💞
Chester lived where i grew up for the last 15 years of his life, he was a fixture in our community and frequented the same breakfast spot, ran into him several times. He had great energy and was always so nice, a good dad too. I hope whereverr he is, he found peace
Chester?? Or Chris??
@@MicheleMcAdoo chester
Never forget hearing Soundgarden for first time as a teenager in Australia late 80’s . My mates and I were hooked from first listen and still all enjoy each other’s company in 2022 with Soundgarden playing loud . I feel they were a huge part in helping forge great lifelong friendships. The power of music .

This is a great presentation of the life of one of the best modern songwriters. He had a genius that was undeniable. It is sad that the weight of the downward spiral overpowered his drive for love life and success. I pine the loss of Chris quite frequently. I learned his music, because it was worth my time. Thanks to the team that researched and produced this piece. We all needed it.
No one sang like him anymore when he left us....But his songwriting allowed him to outlast all those screeching front men that all did indeed sound similar.
His head voice plus the imagery of Pink Floyd transcended everything.
He is my GOAT.
RIP Chris. I’ve struggled with depression for many years now. When I really get down to thinking about Chris’s death, it makes me so sad and I have to struggle not to cry. His life brought about so many things that I’m glad to have incorporated into my own life. Thank you, Chris. Your music has done wonders for me.
I cried the day Chris passed, I’m crying watching this documentary 😢😭
This was released on a terrible memory day for me... i just saw this in my feed for the first time. :( the day he died I was sitting in a bar... we played Chris Cornell and sang along with friends. It was a sad day... he definitely made such an impact in my life. I find myself listening to him so much lately. I sing along to Nothing Compares to YOU often, like on repeat. :( never met him...never even saw a show of his. But I imagine it would have been a surreal moment. He had such a sadness in his eyes towards the end.
The Day I tried to live.... oh how I wish you did! :( :( :( love you! :(
I saw him when he was doing his solo tour, so he performed all his songs from Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog and Autoslave. It was awesome experience!
Audioslave have got me through so many dark days and I’m forever grateful for Chris Cornell’s influence and how he transposed his darkest struggles into incredible art. So sad that he had to go so young though. Love the man 😓
Best metal vocalist to ever live. RIP Chris
How bout all of rock? Gotta be right up there
I want to add that I was only able to see him live once as I live in Australia. I came out of the theatre that night thinking about how much respect for him I felt & seeing interviews with him made it only grow greater. Him passing away was such a terrible loss , which with other things made it a time of deep depression. It reminds me of the lyrics from the song Vincent - the world was not for someone as beautiful as you. He was beautiful on the inside & out & I count myself very lucky when I see him in my dreams where he’s always lovely & happy. He will be with me when I go as “I am the Highway “ is my funeral song . Thinking of him with kindness & love . ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I feel so privileged to have seen Chris Cornell live at an acoustic concert in Rome in April 2016. I never, ever would have imagined he would be gone within a year! And when he did go, I wasn't able to listen to his music for a couple of years at least - the pain of his untimely passing was so great, it was like rubbing salt in a wound!
So relevant to my childhood, love Chris.
It's an honor to have your music fill my ears Chris. Thank you for everything. We miss you ❤️❤️
He is AMAZING! My dad always played his music for me and my brothers to get up before school. I still love it 😍
Audioslave started it all for me, I went back and listened to soungarden and temple. One of my favorite singers of all time. Hope the peace has found u.
I still can’t believe he’s no longer here ! 💕😢💕
Hello how are you doing today...
Outshined is my favorite Soundgarden song. This mini-documentary taught me so many reasons why and so much more than I ever thought I would know. Thank you, creator of this video and thank you Chris for making the music you did, and the music you loved to make. RIP
Every time I hear his songs I feel emotional. I loved Chris Cornell, he helped me through some hard times. Thank you Chris.
Hello how are you doing today....
@@walternicolas6927 You're so funny LOL
Thank you RawMusic for this Chris Cornell documentary, which doesn't use other's opinions, but uses Chris's OWN words & experiences. Also, thanks a million for leaving Chris's memory at a higher point, which is what we should remember. A musician myself, feel like Chris is my twin Brother...I know what hopelessness is, too...he spoke for so many & so proud he received the Stevie Ray Vaughan Foundation award for tirelessly helping others find sobriety for over 12 years. He is an inspiration everyday & an unparalleled songwriter, musician & human soul, no matter what music genre you are oriented to, Chris had something to say to everyone. His VOICE can make your bones cry & there wasn't a song he could not sing & make it even better, make it his own, over & above his OWN brilliant songs. "I Am the Highway" - and may Chris Cornell rest in eternal glory looking down at all the GOOD he has done in the lives of people he touched. Thank you again, RawMusic for making this an inspiration to everyone & not dwelling on one bad day...and Chris's words live forever for us all to learn by.
I have lived with massive depression for the past 18 years. It got worse for me in 2017 when my daughter disowned me because of my 2nd marriage. One thing g that kept me going were Chris's solo albums, especially Higher Truth. I'd listen and sing almost daily to keep me going. Songs like The Keeper, Seasons and others. When I woke up a d read the news of his death, I cried hard as if a close family member passed. I still listen to his music and PJ, FF and others to keep me going. I miss him. I wish I could have talked with him about depression. I still don't know a way out.
HAVING GONE THRU ALOT OF DEPRESSION & STILL DO AT TIMES...AND HAVE LOST SO MANY LOVED ONES TOO....ONLY JESUSCHRIST OF NAZARETH SAVED MY LIFE MORE TIMES THAN I EVEN KNOW OF. 💔🙏❤ AND HE LOVES EVERYONE. HE IS NEAR TO THE BROKENHEARTED AND A WOUNDED SPIRIT. HIS WORD IS HEALTH & LIFE TO ALL OUR FLESH. HE'S DONE MIRACLES TO SAVE MY LIFE & SOUL & HEALED OTHERS I'VE 🙏✨♥ PRAYED FOR IN HIS HOLY NAME. I BELIEVE CHRIS IS WITH JESUS CHRIST IN HEAVEN & CHESTER TOO. GOD'S LOVE IS GREATER THAN ANYTHING THIS WORLD 🌎 CAN DO TO US. JESUSCHRIST CONQUERED HELL, DEATH & THE GRAVE. AND HE'S COMING BACK SOON TO SAVE ALL WHO TRUST IN HIM AS LORD & SAVIOR. GOD BLESS. LOVE&PRAYERS 🙏 AMEN.❤
He overcame so much. Our own inner critic and inner demons can sometimes be too much. This man was a beautiful person inside and out. But no matter how many times he was told that or how many awards he won. That darkness inside lingered. Rip Brother
I was lucky enough to win back stage passes for SG & GnR. I got to meet Chris, we connected because we had long hair He was more than cool. It’s like he knew me forever. We spoke as life long friends. I miss him and my ears are still sad 😢
Wow man! That is really really cool. You must be a sweet and understanding and open-minded soul as well. It's kind of weird thinking of them playing with Guns.. one of the few bands I have yet to see. My favorite Soundgarden song is Over Floater and I found out what he was talking about when I got really really high.... That's pretty ironic 😉
Gnr?
@@andrewmasc3174 Guns n Roses dude!
@@Grace-zo2lg oh shoot my fault. Thanks
@@andrewmasc3174 ~ no fault Pole Vault .. u da man!
I miss you Chrissy! Thank you for ALL of the advice that you gave to me. I even appreciate being scolded for being lazy with my writing. I would give anything to hear you scold me again. Hugs and loves. 🤍🖤🤍
I'm 63 loved Chris Cornell
I was 5 months older than Chris and had so much in common, we were both spent a lot of time alone in our youth and had religion rammed down our throat, even down to the music that we listened to growing up. when he created his style of music it just resonates with my heart and soul... It did back then and still does to this day...
My first and only live show I seen with Soundgarden in 2012, was the best concert I ever went to. He played until they turned the light's out. We miss you brother...
His solo career, songbook tours, reunion with SG, etc were also important.
The suggestion that a strictly religious upbringing should have prevented aberrant behavior is definitely controvertial.
I appreciate the effort to illuminate Chris' life and legacy.
@@shebamaree9026 it was mentioned in this film you're commenting on...he was raised Catholic
@@shebamaree9026 raised catholic, converted to greek orthodox..but sometimes in 2008 he said he did not care much about religion.
He definitely had an extensive history of trauma.
pav jan He said he didn’t care for spiritualism meaning new age stuff his mom being psychic. Chris was bapitized on his free will, as was his children. He had them bapitized. His lyrics are full of Biblical references and belief in God. He just didn’t follow “man” or man made religious ideologies. Some ppl have a hard time comprehending non religious or following vs their personal faith and belief. I’ve found ppl that don’t believe try so hard to strip that away from their musical icons. Another great example is Elvis Presley, definitely Christian and that’s where that special love, light, charisma comes from. Not to mention their talent. Everyone that ever hung around EP said he had the hand of God upon him and if he said something or knew it, it would happen exactly like that. He had that “FOG.” As did Chris. It’s called Favor of God. That’s why he had special dreams, views, feelings and could connect to so many ppl and touch their hearts. Love how he and SG would spoof and make fun of all that generic satanic 💩. Just sell outs that jump on that ridiculous bandwagon like that makes them special. Ummm, no. Have talent, work your hind end off making good music like Chris and SG for the love of music and creativity and as Waylon Jennings said they’ll come to you.
@@aynsleighmalayne3558 Why do you think that? I really do not care whether he was or was not religious. It does not make anyone better or worse person because of that. It is a personal choice..But he himself said that he did not follow any religion and that was in 2008. I believe he was baptized, but also believe he did that because his wife is greek orthodox and so are his children. He would not be the first or the last person doing that.. here the interview ua-cam.com/video/YZB5NHSI64I/v-deo.html
My heart broke into a million pieces on that fateful day...but I'm so grateful for all of the music that he left for us to enjoy. When I listen to Chris it sounds like he's singing to me, personally. I have a feeling most people feel that way and that is why he is so beloved throughout the world. And he always will be.
Shadow of the sun still gives me chills his vocals are incredible
Same! I also dig Gasoline off the same album
I got to see him in Tuscaloosa right before he passed away,the person that was supposed to go with me didn’t want to go that night I went alone, I’m so very glad I did only wish I didn’t drink so much cause I would have remembered more completely sober,God bless Chris he was truly awesome
I miss him so much. I miss Soundgarden too.😢🖤
A truly gifted and inspirational talent with a voice unmatched by any other male vocalists known to me. This mans music literally changed my life, I wish I could somehow repay him for the inspiration his work gave me.
I have loved him (in every way) since day one. He has always been my favorite by far. I can't explain the emotion that comes over me when I see or hear him talk or sing. He is a rock god. His talent just blows my mind and his death was one of the saddest days in rock. You will be forever misses Chris. RIP 💗
One of the best voices in the rock and or roll scene in this time and age for a long long time to be!!!
That man was so gorgeous. RIP Chris
Was blessed to see him 3rd row at the Magestic Theatre in Dallas, 11/1/15. He played 2.5 hours and 29 songs without stopping. Thank You, Chris 🕊️🕊️🕊️
The classic Black Irish beauty . The pale skin, dark hair & those dreamy blue eyes
You mean Jewish olive beauty
Hes was a beauty ❤
Same thing -
Is this the documentary I've been hearing about everywhere? Thank you for making it, and further more uploading it for free.
These documentaries almost always forget to mention the band Queensryche. It was definitely part of our little Seattle scene at the time -- hence Jet City Woman!
News of Cornell's death was crushing. So many deaths, so much pain. The rain here really does take its toll.
I love this man so much. Your voice will always haunt me Chris. You left a mark.

I could only do 5 months in that rainy steely grey weather. Coffee and hot chocolate can only take you so far...then what .
Mentioning Queensryche instantly made Silent Lucidity play in my head. Which hit me in the feels considering this video.
As this documentary ends on a high note, what led to his death? Was it accidental or suicide? Did his life take a turn or relapse?
Loved him. Beauty with the most beautiful voice!
Absolutely perfection
That hauntingly honest voice that I miss so much. Chris had alot to say. The truth he and, Chester had to say will come out.
This was the perfect documentary I needed to see about one of my favorite bands/artists everything this man put out I loved
In 1989 for 1990, not sure now. My friends and I went to see Faith No More in Voivod at Saint Andrews hall in Detroit. There was some band that opened up the show called Soundgarden, that we had never heard of. We smoked a fat joint in the crowd and got ready for the show. It was the louder than love tour. We left that concert talking nothing about the other bands. I just heard a voice that I swear I could have heard six blocks away! It was the greatest live vocals I've ever heard to this day! And I've seen over 300 bands. Chris Cornell instantly became my favorite singer and songwriter. Louder than love didn't leave my car stereo for months! I truly miss you Chris, rest in peace.
“Nothing Left to Say But Goodbye” is always on rotation
This guy is the Jim Morrison of our time. Way beyond normal. Far afield, creatively.
what??
@@meanoldrunk what word throws you off?
@@Pleaver well... one overdosed, the other was a coward
@@meanoldrunk Morrison was a rock god with a poets soul.

⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘
No one sings like you anymore ❤️🤘🏻
My favourite vocalist of all time. I can't see that ever changing
Mind blowing singing. He was a beast #1 love Chris
Thank you, God, for sharing Chris Cornell with us.
Most graceful and heartful comment space on UA-cam, a joy to see. Thanks Chris for your music and soul, they will never be forgotten. D.E.P.
I'm glad they didn't dwell on his death, and how he died. It was short obviously, but straight to the point. Cudos. Cheers from Tom in Sydney Australia.
Chris and Layne were (are) two of my top 5 lead singers all-time. What I liked most abt grunge was that it killed glam/hair metal.
YESSSS. My 3 favorites are Nirvana, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden! All 3 great singers died and 2 of them suspiciously.
Yet they all had great heads of hair.
Same same same. My sons middle name is Layne.. makes me smile
It's a weird road I've traveled through rock music. For context...I'm 50, so I love rock from the late 60's to present day....I loved the 80's bands when I was a teenager, but the heavy music and dark personal lyrics of the Seattle bands hit a cord (pun intended). I love it all, but the "Grunge" era is what makes me feel.
Funny. That's what I hate most about grunge. The hair bands right at the tail end of the hair metal era were all kicking major ass - Slaughter, Winger, Warrant, Firehouse.
If you think Chris could hit high notes - check out Mark Slaughter.
My son helped me find solace in life by introducing me to Soundgarden, Chris Cornell & the meaning to his music. RIP Chris, you are adored still here on earth & thank you for your music ❤️
You never truly know what someone is going through. I wish I could call you Chris and for a moment a friend, because you changed my world. And I thank you for that!
Your documentary’s are incredible, keep it up.
As someone who is agoraphobic, I am compelled to tell you that agoraphobia is fearing and avoiding places or situations that might cause panic and feelings of being trapped, helpless or embarrassed. Not open spaces.
Which is why I said "its simplest form". You'll note I state it's an "anxiety disorder" also. As someone who has suffered from horrific anxiety for many years, I can assure you I wasn't trying to downplay how serious it can be. Or how serious Agoraphobia can be.
I too suffer from agoraphobia in pretty much all forms, along with major clinical depression and panic attacks. I live in a 55 plus community with lots of activities, but I just can't do them. I usually only leave my apartment to go to doctor's appointments and pharmacies. I have such respect for Chris to be able to be such an amazing performer while suffering from agoraphobia and depression. Chris, you are so missed 😢❤
