I got the opportunity about 22 years ago to see him in my local city, just Chris and his guitar. It was such a small venue that I literally was close enough to touch him and I took my son and his friend because I thought his voice was something one has to experience. It was a moment in my life that was so special and I have had an amazing life. His voice goes straight to your heart.
@@bt7846 I can...VK and her family are no good. She married him for his money,then had him murdered when she found out he was divorcing her. I've been on top of the facts from day one. The investigation was bullshit. None of it makes since. She hired MK to do the deed.
Same here. As a kid in the 90's, Nirvana was everything to me. Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun was one of my favorite songs but their music didn't fully connect with me until I hit about 30. I still find myself in awe of his music, Chris was able to create these beautiful yet dark tapestries in your mind with his melodies and lyrics that evoke such powerful emotions that have actually brought me to tears; I consider myself so very lucky to have been born in a time when Chris Cornell's voice existed. I still have a mixture of sadness and gratitude when I listen to his music.
Me too. Higher Truth carried me through hell. And, I sing a lot of his stuff, in his style. Took years, and smoked for a short while too help with the process.
Was not expecting to get a lot from this video, but turns out I did. I should have learned by now to never underestimate Chris's wisdom and insight! I wanted her to ask more in-depth questions, but Chris kind of went for the depth on his own anyway. Fantastic clip.
Great interviews. Chris was so real & transparent in both interviews (like others viewed on UA-cam). Intriguing how Chris Cornell viewed/expressed life in this physical world, his view of the spiritual world, life after death. One of the all time best rock vocalist of our lifetime. R.I.P. always, Chris. Millions miss you...here on planet earth.
I've been a fan of everything Chris has ever done. He's so crafted. So genuine. So real. His music is a gift to all of us who are willing to appreciate it. Im glad to be one of them.
That's why its a useless term. Its a cop out for people who are not religious but lack the backbone to confront the social stigma of being irreligious.
@@brianmannion7097 ehhh i dont see that, people believe in things other than the shell we were giving to be physical in the world. For agnostic people, spiritual is more just the soul without the body floating around the universe
I wish i hade the whole Chris Cornell music catalogy ...he made some great songs im still discovering new gems every day.Its weird to hear him talk spirituality after he is gone so abrupt
Wow, I had the same thoughts going in my head for a long time - a lot of my peers tend to invest so much time and energy seeking “what’s behind the veil” that they forget about all the wonderful things that this physical world has to offer.
Even though Chris would often say he didn't want to be put on a pedestal, many of us consider him as a great sage and a deep thinker. His thoughts were still evolving and he had such a great questioning and aware mind. Thank you for this timeless video. 🙏
Be in the moment..be like children.theres magic in that.made me think of my 7-8 yr old boys and how excited they are about life..brought tears to my eyes. thanks Chris RIP brother🖤
RIP chris i love you so much honestly your music has gotten me through depression i know youre some place special right now and a place that is better than this Earth
@Laniakea Thank you for an important and insightful perspective that never gets explored. It takes courage and honesty and integrity to do so. Thank you so much and peace to you, Laniakea.
@Laniakea " If the pain subsides in death, I wouldn’t want help to keep living." I hear what you're saying, but there cannot possibly be less pain in death. Pain is emotional and/or physical, to feel relief is another feeling. In other words, you have to be alive to feel it. People typically fall back on "You cannot prove otherwise, therefore it is true."
@@gazzarafalemozzy4766 He absolutely did need help, we all need help. Its very obvious not only from his music, but by exactly what he is saying in these interviews. When he speaks of children being without concern about what concerns adults implies he longed for innocence of not caring about the struggles of life. We all feel that way at some point, but part of life, which makes it worth living, is the struggle. Theres not a single person on this planet, with a deep thought in their mind, that did not come to those thoughts without some personal struggle. The way I see it, death is absolutely essential for life to have meaning. Our species gets bored very easily, which is both a blessing and a curse.
Chris is so wise!!! its so true why do we put our energy to stuff thats unnecessary like whats that person(celeb) is doing, what their wearing , trying to expose that celeb's personal life or secret(tabloids). In a recent Keanu Reeves interview, he's talking about what happens after we die and he said 'I know that the ones that loves us, will miss us'
From the 1st interview, you have to wonder what kind of a mood he was in to be so open. He must have felt so conflicted about being famous himself. It's not surprising that he couldn't feel comfortable in this world, people like him never do - they transcend the world that we're in. It's a loss for all of us left behind.
In the first interview, he gives one of the most coherent & thoughtful answers to a question that i've ever heard. A glimpse, i suppose, into the powerfully poetic, deeply perceptive mind that was capable of creating such a wonderful body of work. Chris Cornell has given so much more to the world than it could have given back. I believe he is one of the rare people whose influence on our civilization will remain relevant & appreciated for many years. Assuming of course that we, as a species, manage to learn how to stop taking more from the world than our civilization can endure. We can't wipe out life or permanently destroy the Earth's ecosystem, but we certainly are capable of removing ourselves from the equation.
Regardless what Chris' viewpoints are on spirituality, I find comfort knowing he is in a much better place without pain and suffering. I truly believe in God..... and I also believe Chris is with him.... that's my comfort. Save me a seat a the big table Chris, put in the good word for me.... and tell Layne, Andy, Mike, Kurt and the many many others Thank You from this fan! God Loves Grunge!!!
"Hands are for Shaking....No ,not Tying:-I sure don't mind a change" I love you so much and miss you as long as I live- kindred souls...Thank You Chris
Grande Cornell! La primera parte fue memorable, escuchar sus reflexiones y sentimientos acerca de la vida. No recuerdo haberlo visto hablar asi en otra entrevista. Simplemente genial. Y de seguro ahora ya despejaste todas tus dudas al respecto que ocurre despues de que nos toca partir de aqui. Se te recuerda con cariño amigo. :)
Saw Soundgarden at a small convention center in Oakland CA back in 96. My bros and I were right up front by the stage. I swear I saw an aura around Chris. One of the highlights of my youth and a moment in time and space I shall never forget. Rest In Peace Friend
I love you Chris and miss you deeply, but everything you just described is what 'spirituality' is; being in the moment, appreciating all that is before us!
I remember watching this interview when it was first uploaded. I didn't pay much attention to it at first but listening to it again helps me look back to Chris's insightful views of spirituality. But I'm not part of the bandwagon that gives celebrities more attention when they pass away, I just didn't think much of this interview at the time but I respect all interviews of his including this one. Thank you Grunge Scene.
I was fortunate to see Chris Cornell on the Euphoria morning tour in 1999.. saw him three times with Audioslave and once with Soundgarden... he will always remain one of the greatest singers to have ever graced our planet.. him and Layne Staley... both Soulful Giants ...RIP my brothers.. I can't forget Chester either
That's the fact why I adore Chris' approach to music in an outstanding accordance with life. Real thing. Supreme artist & philosopher , one in a billion. My love to the higher truth of this particularly spiritual man. ♥️🌏🌹
Have no idea what happens after we die or what it was like before but it seems very unlikely nothing will happen, doesn't make much sense that we pop into existence for this short little time and go into dark oblivion.
Spirituality: Taking the position of sort of believing that there is something bigger than us 'out there' (whatever that means) because of the social stigma of not being affiliated with any religion or denomination.
It is often the case that very intellectual, articulate, wise, humble and kind people end up taking their own life. I honestly do not know what to believe when it comes to the cirumstances of his death.
What was great about Chris, apart from his obvious talent, was that he was so unpretentious and actually enjoyed expressing his thoughts and beliefs in interviews with media people who were very often quite thick. In many interviews, you can hear and feel his down to earth sincerity. I think that trait alone encompasses a type of spirituality. It's just a terrible shame that he did what he did, and perhaps in some sad way, he was not aware of how valuable he really was. I think the music business and the medications really overwhelmed him to the point of no return. A wonderful man, and a great singer songwriter.
I don't believe that he denied GOD EVER! Foolish to assume that Chris did deny HIM. I believe that God has him right now and for the first time he is safe.
Ashley S. I agree, he converted to Greek Orthodox and was baptized so none of us know if he had a relationship with God. I believe he did because he didn't seem like a man who would do something like that just because of his wife! Everything he did was his choice and thought out and I think he chose God! I dont think I've ever heard him deny God in any interviews! You are right, he is finally safe!
R-Erin 2 Go , thanks and I agree with you also. In that, Chris was an intelligent man and his decisions were his own. I too believe he came to God on his own and I'm glad of it. And yes, I've never heard or read of Chris ever denying of God or Jesus existing or Chris denying a possible relationship with Them. We will be blessed one day and be reunited with our loved ones and we will love all.
There is no afterlife. Only thing that exists is the here and now. As far as what actually "exists" outside of this realm, is nothing more than a debate, a conversation of all the possibilities that exist or is present outside of the physical realm. What exists in the unknown is nothing more than our own imagination or interpretations based from our beliefs, values and morals of that "existence". The unknown is simply just that. It's unknown.
Shakir Henderson You contradicted yourself. You start with there is no afterlife and end with the unknown is just that it's unknown! You see, it can't be disproved so you can't say there is no afterlife. Have you died and come back here? Most likely not from your comment, so you don't know what happens after we leave this body! To me, personally, I believe there is something after because it makes absolutely no sense to be plunked here on this earth for 60 70 80 years and then nothing! Jokes on all of us if that is the case! Why do some live richly while others don't even have clean water? I mean really what is the point of being here? Makes absolutely no sense what so ever! My choice is to believe there is an after and have a faith, and let's say I'm wrong, well at least I believed and had faith in something after better than this place!
Chris tells it as he sees it his music is so deep as he is to me very spiritual in his own right what a man what a gift he had he healed many with his amazing voice. Xx
He takes four and a half minutes to simultaneously explain a complex, spiritual thought process and say he doesn't believe in spirituality. This is why he's so brilliant. He's incredibly missed....
He was just in a place at that time where he was completely rejecting it. You can hear it all over his music. I'm sure he is in a better space now to embrace it.
@@dragonhed123 Not at all. Hence the mass spiritual awakening transpiring on this planet now. I believe that I know exactly what Chris was experiencing and why he felt the way he did at times. At this time, I'll refrain from elaborating.
I just pray he believed the Gospel and trusted in Jesus for his Eternal Salvation at any point in his life. That's what's most important because you are Saved when you do.
hey alright! good to see somebody say it. sadly, MOST PEOPLE HERE ARE PRAISING HIS "ZEN" PHILosoPHY as incredibly wise... yEt, it sEEMS as THOUgh that philosophy betrayeD HIM SEVERELY BECAUSE at the end when he ReALLY NEEDED SOMEONE TO BE There, all that was THERE For hIM WAS...

"And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder."
The contrast in his voice and energy in these two interviews. But it's fascinating finding out his views are secular (as are mine). Without ever knowing this is where he stood on these issues, this artist who so inspired and inspires me saw such things in a similar way is kind of nice. In a world where most people still have beliefs in the supernatural, there's comfort in finding other people who prefer to take life as it comes and not live in fear or guess what may happen next - especially when you already feel a connection to that person!
3:52 I've heard it all before. I grew-up with Chris Cornell in West Seattle, and he taught me to sing & write songs & we spent alot of time together. I love him with all my heart, but when he says... "When we die there's nothing left, no memories..." He's assuming & preaching it like it's truth. But he didn't know that, nor does anyone. AND... It's this kind of philosophy that treats life like it's nothing & makes it even easier to end it. [I have the right to say it, because I knew & loved him.]

If you actually listen to his response to the first question, it’s all in there. He’s basically just saying that to him, the existence of the metaphysical is self-evident, but he doesn’t like groups and labels, and doesn’t trust anyone who tries to push dogma on anyone else. A smart position to hold.
He feels the spirit and subconsciously believes in it without given credit to the one who created it . There's another spirit fighting to keep him away from excepting truth and in the end embraced the denial of that truth.
It sounds a lot like something that I might say after years of Zen practice (and especially influenced by Brad Warner's Hardcore Zen's way of speaking). Man I wish Chris were still around.
Everything he said true. Kids yes how they naturally simplify everything is true, Celebrity obsession is sick. He died a day after my birthday . RIP. I'll never forget you.
I personally belief in life after death, heaven, hell, etc. but I really appreciate his perspective on the here and now and how we shouldn't lose focus on how miraculous this dimension of experience really is. Excellent point and often overlooked especially when the now is perceived as something either to be endured, overcome, etc., to get to the "next thing". Be miraculous today.
Alex B. McMurtrie III Same, IDK if you where Raised Religiously. I was, & it affects my views in the Afterlife. But Damn This Blew my mind. no one I've ever met has explained the possibility of Nothing in the After-Life like this...
Ramon Vargas Hi Ramon, Yes I'm a practicing Christian Roman Catholic. I think he has it completely half right. Intelligent design is what makes me believe in God, thus the idea of eternity.
@@alexmcmurtrieSits You can choke on your own food, stars explode and most species that ever existed are now extinct. Did I mention heat death or the andromeda galaxy heading in collision with our own. 'Intelligent design'. Not to mention that Stephen Hawking said if the universe was made for anything then it was for black holes.
Brian Mannion andromeda will be nothing but an amazing light show from earth.. but the sun will eventually take Earth out as it becomes a red giant and dies and turns into a white dwarf.. before eventually going dark and totally fizzling out. I believe in an after life.. but I don’t believe that people will burn in some foreign place forever no.. as punishment. Everything is subjective. No good bad right or wrong.. all experiences.. none of us know for sure but I think there is something after this.. and maybe we come back as someone new to do it all again..
A sad ☹️ loss for humanity a true gentleman rest easy my fellow soul you helped me out in my childhood with your artistry and got me through the ole bad times with my demons a wonderfully inspiring soundtrack to my life as I write say hello 👋 to heaven is playing on my wonderful Alexa hope sincerely your at peace ✌️ with your wonderful fantastic friend Andrew Wood ✌️😇😇😇x
I feel what he's trying to say. I've felt that before, tried to describe it before. It's too hard to explain. But I became a Buddhist. That made sense for me. I know a lot of atheists that are depressives. It's human nature to find purpose. When people can't find purpose they break down.

@@johnhenry3030 believe what you want... I will never believe it!
It is often the case that very intellectual, articulate, wise, humble and kind people end up taking their own life. I honestly do not know what to believe when it comes to the cirumstances of his death.
2:20 - 2:50 so much truth
4:00 him taking about his death still hurts
I think it always will, if only we knew what he was going to do maybe we could have helped
I loved this, dudes very insightful.
What was great about Chris, apart from his obvious talent, was that he was so unpretentious and actually enjoyed expressing his thoughts and beliefs in interviews with media people who were very often quite thick. In many interviews, you can hear and feel his down to earth sincerity. I think that trait alone encompasses a type of spirituality. It's just a terrible shame that he did what he did, and perhaps in some sad way, he was not aware of how valuable he really was. I think the music business and the medications really overwhelmed him to the point of no return. A wonderful man, and a great singer songwriter.
demetrios3232 agreed. Well said.
I don't believe that he denied GOD EVER! Foolish to assume that Chris did deny HIM. I believe that God has him right now and for the first time he is safe.
Ashley S. I agree, he converted to Greek Orthodox and was baptized so none of us know if he had a relationship with God. I believe he did because he didn't seem like a man who would do something like that just because of his wife! Everything he did was his choice and thought out and I think he chose God! I dont think I've ever heard him deny God in any interviews! You are right, he is finally safe!
R-Erin 2 Go , thanks and I agree with you also. In that, Chris was an intelligent man and his decisions were his own. I too believe he came to God on his own and I'm glad of it. And yes, I've never heard or read of Chris ever denying of God or Jesus existing or Chris denying a possible relationship with Them. We will be blessed one day and be reunited with our loved ones and we will love all.
@Tonya Harmon I believe he had a faith in God is what I'm referring to. Not his death
Looking forward to talk to this dude in the afterlife.
TubedFisch ditto
There is no afterlife. Only thing that exists is the here and now. As far as what actually "exists" outside of this realm, is nothing more than a debate, a conversation of all the possibilities that exist or is present outside of the physical realm. What exists in the unknown is nothing more than our own imagination or interpretations based from our beliefs, values and morals of that "existence". The unknown is simply just that. It's unknown.
Shakir Henderson You contradicted yourself. You start with there is no afterlife and end with the unknown is just that it's unknown!
You see, it can't be disproved so you can't say there is no afterlife. Have you died and come back here? Most likely not from your comment, so you don't know what happens after we leave this body! To me, personally, I believe there is something after because it makes absolutely no sense to be plunked here on this earth for 60 70 80 years and then nothing! Jokes on all of us if that is the case! Why do some live richly while others don't even have clean water? I mean really what is the point of being here? Makes absolutely no sense what so ever! My choice is to believe there is an after and have a faith, and let's say I'm wrong, well at least I believed and had faith in something after better than this place!
Good luck. He believes there's, "NOTHING", in the end. Hope he has fun with that.
I got to meet him in 92. Very humble then. I asked him about open tunings and he was relieved i was a fanboy
The lady got more than she bargained for with her questions, I think, ha
lol! right? She looks around like wtf did I get myself into? haha
Wow, a man after my own heart. Much love 💕💎🌹
Chris tells it as he sees it his music is so deep as he is to me very spiritual in his own right what a man what a gift he had he healed many with his amazing voice. Xx
So articulate in expressing the process of how his brain works. Couldn’t of said that train of thought better myself
RIP Chris....Such an intelligent, beautiful human
He takes four and a half minutes to simultaneously explain a complex, spiritual thought process and say he doesn't believe in spirituality. This is why he's so brilliant. He's incredibly missed....
He was just in a place at that time where he was completely rejecting it. You can hear it all over his music. I'm sure he is in a better space now to embrace it.
@@musicmavenpublishing2265 Yeah, he once said something about here on God's green earth and I've seen a photo of him wearing a crucifix.
@@musicmavenpublishing2265wait hes dead tho are you saying you have to die to apreciate spirtuality? If so thats kinda messed up.
@@dragonhed123 Not at all. Hence the mass spiritual awakening transpiring on this planet now. I believe that I know exactly what Chris was experiencing and why he felt the way he did at times. At this time, I'll refrain from elaborating.
@@musicmavenpublishing2265I don't think you can really know what he was going through or what he believed
What Chris means is: I am. That’s it. Live.
I loved what he said
I just pray he believed the Gospel and trusted in Jesus for his Eternal Salvation at any point in his life. That's what's most important because you are Saved when you do.
hey alright! good to see somebody say it.
sadly, MOST PEOPLE HERE ARE PRAISING HIS "ZEN" PHILosoPHY as incredibly wise... yEt, it sEEMS as THOUgh that philosophy betrayeD HIM SEVERELY BECAUSE at the end when he ReALLY NEEDED SOMEONE TO BE There, all that was THERE For hIM WAS...

"And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder."
Ok man
This is sooooo real. I completely understand I always say these things to people and feel like I can’t get my point across 💔
The contrast in his voice and energy in these two interviews.
But it's fascinating finding out his views are secular (as are mine). Without ever knowing this is where he stood on these issues, this artist who so inspired and inspires me saw such things in a similar way is kind of nice.
In a world where most people still have beliefs in the supernatural, there's comfort in finding other people who prefer to take life as it comes and not live in fear or guess what may happen next - especially when you already feel a connection to that person!
Miss Him
3:52 I've heard it all before. I grew-up with Chris Cornell in West Seattle, and he taught me to sing & write songs & we spent alot of time together. I love him with all my heart, but when he says... "When we die there's nothing left, no memories..." He's assuming & preaching it like it's truth. But he didn't know that, nor does anyone. AND... It's this kind of philosophy that treats life like it's nothing & makes it even easier to end it. [I have the right to say it, because I knew & loved him.]
YoU'Re aSSumINg NoBODy knows, ThOUgh. juST bEcAUse yoU don'T KnOw, juSt BEcause cHRis didN't kNOW, jUst BEcAuse 99.9 PERceNT of PEOPlE Have NEVER seeN AnYthINg BEyOnd tHIs mUndane eXISTEnCE... doesN't MEAN THAT NObody knows.

WHO IS WILLING TO PAY THAT PRICE?
NObody. not even me.
believe me when I say that when people say they wANT THE TRUTH...
THeY ARe lying.
He was extremely intelligent and open to great ideas I am so sorry that he left so soon
He definitely lived a Christian ethic in his life, even if he found himself agnostic in life. Good man, I love you Chris
If you actually listen to his response to the first question, it’s all in there. He’s basically just saying that to him, the existence of the metaphysical is self-evident, but he doesn’t like groups and labels, and doesn’t trust anyone who tries to push dogma on anyone else. A smart position to hold.
I Love u Chris
Chris Cornell talking about a banana is exactly what I needed today
Wise boy
He's in..
Our hearts.
He could see miracles
Funny how seeing a childhood friends family led me to a song which led me to hearing the singer of that song talk about having family
He feels the spirit and subconsciously believes in it without given credit to the one who created it . There's another spirit fighting to keep him away from excepting truth and in the end embraced the denial of that truth.
Banana -Rama- Ding -Dong.
Love our brother Chris.
Simple truth. I have been saying that for years.
Chris, you nailed it.
He was SSOOO quick to say no. Like is anyone else realize g he starts saying no before she gets done asking him.
He probably would have loved/did love Taoism and meditation. His suicide damn near broke my heart as he was one of my heroes.
I love you and I miss you always my sweet CC 😢🔥🖤🌊❤️(jmagr)
It sounds a lot like something that I might say after years of Zen practice (and especially influenced by Brad Warner's Hardcore Zen's way of speaking). Man I wish Chris were still around.
Everything he said true. Kids yes how they naturally simplify everything is true, Celebrity obsession is sick. He died a day after my birthday . RIP. I'll never forget you.
Anyone else here 2024?
YOU THINK?? Chris wow taking life for granted?? and memories were great and miss this man so much
I personally belief in life after death, heaven, hell, etc. but I really appreciate his perspective on the here and now and how we shouldn't lose focus on how miraculous this dimension of experience really is. Excellent point and often overlooked especially when the now is perceived as something either to be endured, overcome, etc., to get to the "next thing". Be miraculous today.
Alex B. McMurtrie III Same, IDK if you where Raised Religiously. I was, & it affects my views in the Afterlife. But Damn This Blew my mind. no one I've ever met has explained the possibility of Nothing in the After-Life like this...
Ramon Vargas Hi Ramon,
Yes I'm a practicing Christian Roman Catholic. I think he has it completely half right. Intelligent design is what makes me believe in God, thus the idea of eternity.
@@alexmcmurtrieSits You can choke on your own food, stars explode and most species that ever existed are now extinct. Did I mention heat death or the andromeda galaxy heading in collision with our own. 'Intelligent design'. Not to mention that Stephen Hawking said if the universe was made for anything then it was for black holes.
Brian Mannion andromeda will be nothing but an amazing light show from earth.. but the sun will eventually take Earth out as it becomes a red giant and dies and turns into a white dwarf.. before eventually going dark and totally fizzling out. I believe in an after life.. but I don’t believe that people will burn in some foreign place forever no.. as punishment. Everything is subjective. No good bad right or wrong.. all experiences.. none of us know for sure but I think there is something after this.. and maybe we come back as someone new to do it all again..
@@GoldenHeartIncorporated we'll be gone before that ever happens so how will you ever know that happens?
what a great man...
The Jesus Christh of Rock...R.I.P. CORNELL!!!
A sad ☹️ loss for humanity a true gentleman rest easy my fellow soul you helped me out in my childhood with your artistry and got me through the ole bad times with my demons a wonderfully inspiring soundtrack to my life as I write say hello 👋 to heaven is playing on my wonderful Alexa hope sincerely your at peace ✌️ with your wonderful fantastic friend Andrew Wood ✌️😇😇😇x
Genius through and through.
Oh, I wish I knew you when I was young...And, you were alive.
Chris and Chester were WAY too real for an industry as toxic as "Hollywood" or "The business" 💯
I feel what he's trying to say. I've felt that before, tried to describe it before. It's too hard to explain. But I became a Buddhist. That made sense for me.
I know a lot of atheists that are depressives. It's human nature to find purpose. When people can't find purpose they break down.
What good is religion or spirituality if I have lost faith in humanity ! : (
