Life has existed for about 3.5 billion years on this planet, and you happened to exist at the same time as Chris Cornell. Count your blessings.
When he said "we just put em together, you guys made them hits"... He was never haughty and full of himself. "We were very *fortunate"* He seems to have seen himself as just like everyone else. Thats rare in celebrities.
... I miss this guy.
RIP Chris
apollo11bb the self deprecating jokes are definitely a part of his charm...but in hindsight...Damn.
I've watched several of Chris Cornell's interviews and he always strikes me as a humble, down to earth guy.
Actually part of why Soundgarden broke up was because they weren't getting along because Cornell was a bit controlling when it came to the artistic direction he wanted to pull the band in. That's why if you look at "Down on the Upside" there is metal, rock, soft rock, punk and even some psychedelic songs like applebite. Really interesting album but at the time, I was too young to really appreciate most of it (14 years old or so)
I will never forget the day or where I was when I was introduced to Chris Cornell. I still do not know how I had never heard of them.The whole band is great, but from the moment I heard those words. And the lyrics. I thought he was an Angel.I never got to see them in concert. But I carry that man with me every day of my life. I will always love him.
I've never seen him as celebrity. The term "celebrity" in my mind is someone like an instagram escort or tiktok star = just shaking their butt and/or moving lips to someone else's song.
A rock star and a gentle soul. What a loss. he was a real artist. May he rest in peace.
Well put! ❤
Yes, started listening to Audioslave, Scott Weiland, Layne Staley. Just can't believe how beautiful and soulful their voices we're.
Depression is no joke.
I wish more people would understand that... is not like being sad... is way deeper than that
He can only rest in peace, he is not of this wicked world any longer!
...leaving two teen children DOES NOT make him a gentle soul, a troubled soul, perhaps, but not innocent of the crime of abandonment.
I love his interviews. He was always very thoughtful and you could see he was really thinking back and trying to give you the best answers he could about whatever he was being asked. Very humble and talented person. One of a kind.
So true! It breaks my heart that is not with 💔
Right? I can't imagine being asked the same questions for twenty five years and being able to come up with good answers, or even bothering to try. He was just so cool and good at everything. One of a kind ❤️.
True
Damn, hearing him talk about singing when he's at Ozzy's age.... this loss will always be felt.
Yup, it was all joyful and then that question came and hit hard, man :(
Yeah It made me sad to hear that. Extreme loss. He left us too early.
Fell On Black Days is a masterpiece.
A very depressing masterpiece, but still a masterpiece.
Soundgarden crafted one masterpiece after another beginning with Nothing To Say through the Louder Than Love era straight through Badmotorfinger (Slaves And Bulldozers was the hidden treasure) and Superunknown (Drown Me In You and Limo Wreck) then Down On The Upside (flawlessly crafted but Pretty Noose, Burden In My Hand and Blow Up The Outside World are the crown jewels with She Likes Surprises on the vinyl version of A Sides as the perfect bookend to the Nothing To Say era genesis of Soundgarden).
There was never anyone like Chris Cornell.
There will never be another one like him.
We miss you Chris.
And black hole sun
Lord yes.
My older sister passed away June 2018, and she has Fell on Black Days tattooed on her arm. I always thought it was odd her and Chris passed away within almost a year of one another. She loved his music, and turned it on to me and my younger sister growing up. I have her and my parents to thank for our good taste in music. We were all so close, and his music (along with a few others) will always be something that we hold dear to us. Rest easy Chris, and my sweet sister, Jesse.
Chris is another one of those people who I regret not taking more interest in when they were still alive. I was a massive Soundgarden fan when I was a kid growing up in the 90’s, but for some strange reason, and despite loving the music, I always had him down as some kind of pretentious rock star who took himself way too seriously, or something like that.
And when Soundgarden reformed in 2010, I had long moved on to other things and didn’t pay much attention. I’d already decided that their best days were probably behind them and didn’t even bother to give the new album a proper listen through.
It was only after revisiting Soundgarden and Chris’ other solo projects that I realized how badly I had misjudged him, and what a unique character he was in the world of Rock music. Totally down to earth, humble, and disarming. He gives direct and honest answers to every question and doesn’t for a moment get caught in the trap of buying into his own hype.
When you factor in the raw, innate talent for singing and songwriting, he represented a very rare combination of qualities.
Chris always looked like there was something more going on behind those eyes.
Harry I always believed that as well.
Depression - and specifically the end stages of it which leads to suicidal despair - is also known as the silent scream for that very reason.
Ask his greedy bitch wife, no better yet go check out a ticket to Ride cover, when he's literally crying for help.
Extremely sensitive topic to talk about, but regardless any one of us should be able to tell that hes struggling with something behind his eyes. As we all do, maybe his/the bands music, can somehow help all of us cope with our own demons; fore the devil is always the strongest before the storm. May his soul finally now rest in peace:(
yeah hes thinkin damn this radio guy is loud and annoying
@@MJ-ss2tf I think the saying goes 'the air is always calmest before the storm" which is the truth in a literal sense in the case of a tornado.
Shouldn't the title be: "Radio guy never shuts the fuck up, oh, and occasionally Chris Cornell talks, but gets interrupted." ..?
True. Chris is not a fast speaker so they should just let him speak his mind at his pace.
Gene "Bean" Baxster is a radio legend, and responsible for many of the bands you listen to today. If you don't listen to the K&B Show on Itunes, you are really missing out... Just type "KROQ" into the search, and you'll see K&B. I HIGHLY recommend checking it out and giving it a few days. It'll change your life if you are into music. Best.
man... best post I've seen all week.
i clicked on 10 random spots in this video and each time i landed on the radio guy babbling about something... :-/
And then practically insulted him right at the end...
I met Chris once on the "Badmotorfinger" tour. He was sweet, kind and shy. We didn't talk long because I didn't want him to feel uncomfortable. He was a genuinely nice guy.
When I see his old interviews, I always think, he seems like the nicest , most interesting person to conversate with. I always think that, for someone I've never met, I will miss him, and what he contributed to music and just life in general.
TheSongbird3364 word
Spot on, well said.
Yes. There is something very genuine about him that makes you feel like he was one of those people that are just really easy to be around that make you feel like it's safe to be yourself as soon as you meet them. Idk if that makes sense to anyone but yeah. One of those people lol.
*converse
Conversate is not a word, "to hold a conversation with" would be appropriate term. Just Saying
His humility makes him so captivating. Has anyone ever been more cool?
I hate when an artist is getting interviewed and the interviewer keeps cutting them off after they ask a question.
Agreed. Interviewers like this love their own voices and opinions and think they're hilarious and edgy.
I think this has to do with the pacing of traditional radio. Radio hosts are excellent at time management.
Right!??? Super feckin rude and a pain.
The most offending example being "I was gonna ask you about that". Really??
Yea, they run their ads at very specific times, the time management thing is real.
The problem with soundgarden was that they were always too cerebral for their genre. Vedder was good at moaning and groaning, Kurt was a master of self deprivation and metaphorical irony, Layne and Jerry were dark as fuck, but then there's Chris. He was simultaneously none of those, but above it. He was a 70s rock singer with an excellent vocabulary and above average intelligence. It's volatile, even listening to him speak.
Definitely more intellectual than most musicians..
It Came from the Sky his lyrics were amazing, he never ceased to amaze me
Wow, try his TOTD cover War Pigs by BS, it embodies Ozzy's vibe, & more. Band sounds incredible with a heavy full analogy brown sound. Treat.
Couldn't have said it better
That was the great thing, not the problem. That's why they were my favourite of the time.
I saw soundgarden in 92 at lollapalooza it was raining and we were all soaked outside. Such a great day, amazing memories!
God my heart is so broken....into a million pieces. Rock in Peace Chris, you will be so incredibly missed. You were pure magic.
Me too. Love Chris!
great soul forever missed
Shine on Chris
I Don't think Chris had any idea just how great he was. Very humble and down to earth. If he was ever getting a complement he would always divert to something or someone else as to why he was so successful. They Don't make them like that anymore... RIP Chris Cornell
Chris was awsome in all those bands and in solo. Both bands were 2 of my favourites bands of alltime. They had great names (and it's rare) with significant and simple meaning (thanks to Chris) and amazing songs that sounded like no one else. I would love your input on the first video of my first album. It got the attention of one of my heroes Joe Bouchard (ex bass player founding members of BÖC) who is following us on Soundcloud but returns from people who likes same music is always the best. If you have just 3 minutes to listen and a bit more to comment, that would mean the world to me. Keep rockin' : ua-cam.com/video/Pu_p1wbaCa8/v-deo.html
Always love to hear Chris give interviews. Always extremely friendly, open, and insightful. I wish all rock stars were like him.
Yeah, he's super cool and well spoken. Very insightful. His personality, way of speaking and mannerisms remind me of Jeff Goldblum for some reason.
He became the blueprint, of how rockers answer interviewers ?'s today. He also gives the cool ambiance and great insight of someone who actually gave us (w/out overproduced songs) the closest creation that came from his heart.
Best voice in Rock ever period!
He's great but freddie mercury... Come on... Even Myles Kennedy is climbing that list considering how great of a guitar player he is as well
@@michaelsands442 I agree about Freddie Mercury..but Myles Kennedy?.it's painful listening to him .no soul man none..he sounds like a bad commerical over voice..sorry .enjoy
@@imandan1966 It's not necessary to discredit one artist just to prove that another artist is great. Chris and Freddie are both pure legends. If you like the opera rock style you might prefer Freddie over Chris, if you're looking for a heavier style but also for pure emotion you will probably lean towards Chris. Myles Kennedy is one of the greatest rock artists of our time. I've seen him live a couple of times and even met him shortly (most gentle guy), it's nothing but ridiculous to call him an average guitar player. In fact, his skills are quite close to Tremonti's ... and Tremonti's skills are insane. When Kennedy and Tremonti do their guitar solo battles, Kennedy's ideas are often more to my taste while both show absolutely perfect techniques.
@@imandan1966 Did I say you said Cornell and Mercury are not legends? Maybe you should read both comments again as you seem to have forgotten that the one you discredited was Myles Kennedy and not Freddie.
Music is not a competition...
I started listening to soundgarden just recently and Chris his voice is what reeled me in. After that I fell hard. I am so heartbroken about what happened. I know depression all to well and its tough especially when your alone at times with only your thoughts. I wish I wouldve started listening sooner. And maybe been able to write him amd tell him how beautiful of a person he is and how loved he is even more. R.I.P Chris
Same, I’ve only recently gotten *really* into all Chris’ work - solo or otherwise, and my god does it hurt, that I won’t ever get to see him live or to tell him how grateful we all are for everything he did
I will always regret never seeing him live in Soundgarden or Audioslave or just himself :/
Andrew Vasquez I was lucky to see him with Soundgarden in 2011. Great show. Happy I got to see him perform live.
Saw Soundgarden @Rockville in 2017, one of his last shows... So glad I made the decision!
First concert ever went to was Soundgarden/ Skid Row at Fox theater in Saint louis. A Bit of a weird grouping, but liked both bands and I believe it was pre grunge explosion. It was early 1990's.
Me too😥
I have to add my name to the list of those who regret missing out. What stings even more is im in Michigan and we all know his last show, and last night on earth was in Detroit. I had a chance to go, my co-worker went, and I had always respected soundgarden and thought they would be a killer show. I wonder if more of us 'fan's bought tickets to every tour, he would have been less depressed? I couldn't help but feel like playing smaller, crappy venus in Detroit must have been hard after playing arenas in the 90s and being so huge. Maybe he felt like he had peaked, been there/done that, and got too bored. Looking out at a crowd of aging 90s kids in dirty dingy venues took it's toll
It's weird how Soundgarden and other 90s bands get compared . They were all so different in their own way.
Jennifer Pegg true those comparisons most stop each band is different
I hate it too, soundgarden is no whiny punk band
🤘🏾😢❤️ no one sings like him anymore.
I get what your doing their
It's a shame that "Vitalogy" & "In Utero" were ultimately more successful than "Superunknown". They're both good records, but neither can touch "Superunknown".
sky sportguy How can an "opinion" be wrong? By it's very definition an opinion is subjective & ambiguous.
dirtyfacelifttool51 I've had that same argument. AND I believe Superunknown is one of the few albums that are better than Dirt. And even the worst Soundgarden song is still better than EVERY Nirvana song put together.
There were only 3 songs on Superunknown that never got radio play and there are 15 songs total on that album. it is one of the most played albums in history by trackplay standards. It was in the top 5 of major charts for 7 different countries 3 of them hitting number 1. 3XPlatinum in Canada and 5xPlatinum in the US. 9+million albums sold worldwide. Vitalogy had more success overseas on charts, but with smaller sales numbers, it only hit 76 on the Billboard 200 where Superunknown hit #1.
It also sold less worldwide though sold similarly in volume in the US. InUtero did about the same chart wise, but only sold about 6+million worldwide and had only 3 songs hit radio and only 3 released as major singles (which 2 were on the same single). Nevermind however sold 15+mil with 5 singles and 11 top 5 charts worldwide with 4 #1's. Pearl Jam's Ten sold 15+mil worldwide and only hit number 1 on Poland and internet charts only reaching number 2 on the US200, but really didn't have great charting. Charting = Critic and mainstream acceptance whilst sales = How many people actually cared to buy it.
Had Soundgarden released more than 5 singles (like a single for each song that got radio play in it's popular market, they would have sold another couple million probably.Sales aren't in yet for their 20th Anniversary release, but I suspect they will sell quite a bit more in the next 2 years considering Chris Cornell's recent recording associations in the mainstream. It's in my list of top 10 albums of all time.
Superunknown is a favorite of mine over Ten and Nevermind, that said, not just because of their popularity, they are all 3 albums you can put on and let repeat over and over without getting tired of. That's when you know an album is a classic and near perfect, because people will listen to the whole story from start to finish. Not many albums are released these days like that and most young people don't understand what that experience is like with all the singles only released and bite sized attention spans.
***** Thanks for all the info. I'm not worthy of such an informative & thorough response.
dirtyfacelifttool51 I just love music.
I still have a difficult time believing this man took his own life
Because he was killed, please watch and share!
ua-cam.com/video/8M_CsjjK4tU/v-deo.html
He didn't, someone took it and for a purpose. Want the day to come when all will be revealed.
@@J.s724 life is odd. kurt killed himself, so did chris. you have to move on...
@@Wildrover82 hmm. You must speak from experience. Thats a matter of opinion. That is not factual. Just what was reported. Life goes on so naturally, we move on too. Doesn't mean I can't still have an opinion on it. Least I have something more to say than your little attempt to " correct me" lol
@@J.s724 i hope your still a teen for your sake.
Soundgarden has always been underrated and the band deserves so much more acclaim. It was an amazing time to be alive and lucky to experience the Seattle explosion in the early nineties. Music today is regurgitated garbage. RIP CHRIS CORNELL
Underrated? Tens of millions of albums sold and basically a household name.
Kings X was underrated.
Underated??? Hardly!
ENOUGH with the word UNDERATED!! Soundgarden were not and have never been underated (under appreciated) they've been aknowledged for their talent.
@@phnigra111 Completely agree : )
soundgarden are absolutely not underrated they are literally in the big seattle four with nirvana, pearl jam, and alice in chains. superunknown is relevant to this day. maybe they're not as much of a household name as nirvana, but people know of or have listened to soundgarden, especially black hole sun. the word you're looking for seems more like UNDERAPPRECIATED, which is true. but definitely not under rated
You're not interviewing a college kid or a football player. Holy shit..this interviewer doesn't quit
1min in and I already know what you mean
Yeah, he's pretty annoying. Seems like he drank too much coffee.
He was such a beautiful soul. He had the most mesmerizing eyes and voice. So beautiful
Chris looks amazing at his age and i love his singing and talking voice.:-)
Me too, hun.
Kim is perhaps the most underrated rock musician ever. He is brilliant and just not highlighted enough. Chris respected him so much and vice versa.
I think everything that ever happened is underrated so I agree.
Brings me to tears seeing one of the greatest of all time and still feeling like he was murdered and didn’t commit suicide. I met Chris in 2007. We shared a great hug and I thanked him sincerely for all of the amazing music. He was a gentleman, he was tall and illustrious and a beautiful man. His appreciation for me as a dude that was in total fanboy mode was endearing. Even though I felt silly for geeking out so hard , he didn’t make it awkward. He was an absolute gem. I still miss his musical presence every day and he is still one of my biggest influences in rock! We love you Chris. Your mark still leaves its’ indelible stamp on all of us true fans of Rock-N-Roll. You’re one of the best to ever do it!!!!🤘🏻 I say that from my soul. Wherever your soul is... I love you brother and I thank you!
Ps: that hug we shared was probably the coolest moment of my life! You’re one of my biggest heroes and you live on through us. Love you Mr. Cornell
He did commit suicide dude, just accept it. The only person that went into his hotel room was the security guard and he was cleared. This guard tried to save his life, he didn't murder him ok.
It's a day for me that I just look for Chris...I've cried for 2 hours, looking at Chris, and listening to him...I just miss him...

So Much
he doesn't seem to be too excited to do this kinda shit but handles it really well
wolfe wachoviawitz *_But he showed up & that’s all that matters!!_* ☺️☺️
Because it was butt early!
Tony Romo yeah, musicians are used to staying up late. They don’t like getting up early.
@@langdonalger9219 Musicians do NOT like doing these kinds of interview, makes no difference what time of day it is. (These morning radio jocks are cheesy, corny, "funny", etc etc.)
Movie Stars ALSO hate doing these interviews, because you get asked the SAME boring questions over and over and over and over.
People only do these interviews BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO. (It's in their contracts that they MUST do press etc, to promote product.)
Butt early that’s why😂😂
I listen to him every day. I’m a 45 year old drummer and appreciate his work more now but he set the tone for my youth. He connected with your soul in a way no one could. I can’t wrap my mind around that he is gone.
never met him but i miss him
My all-time favorite male singer and the greatest male voice I've ever heard in my life!
jeff Buckley, John frusciante freddy mercury are up there on my list but it's what ever Ur in to.that's the beauty of music.
I heard Jeff buckley's singing and he's (was) good, but not nearly as good as Chris Cornell. The others, I've never heard of but I'll check them out to see if they're as good (I doubt it) :D
shymickey6 Never heard of Freddie Mercury? get listening to the second best vocals ever (Cornell 1st). In fairness, Freddies live vocals are pretty much untouchable.
paul morris
Oo! I'm intrigued now. I had totally forgotten that I was supposed to be checking out the others anyway. I'll be checking out Freddie Mercury first ;). Which song you suggest?
Freddie was an ultimate showman but his voice....along with Chris Cornell, the most inspiring vocalist, never sang a bum note live and put his heart and soul into it. Enjoy.
Oh man it's so good to hear him talk. It's been awhile since I actually heard him speak since he's been gone. Damn we lost another one.
Mr. Chris Cornell, he gets my vote for the most humble and down to earth human being!! My God,we just put them together and you guys made them hits!! Chilled and relaxed as one can be!! Beyond a genius!!! R.I.P. Mr. Chris Cornell!!
I miss you, Chris. Miss you so so much.
Speaking voice was even soothing. He helps me sleep. Rest in peace free of sadness 👼.
I appreciate how humble Chris is during the interview.
I wish this interview was just done today :(
One of the absolute greatest musicians/singers of all time. The world misses you Chris.
Such an incredible voice silenced. Heartbreaking. R.I.P. Chris
Not really, you can't silence somebody's legacy.
I saw Soundgarden live on 13th Street on the campus corner in Eugene, Oregon back in the day. I will never forget the vibe. It was fantastic and felt so spontaneous.
Biggest part of my adolescent into adulthood. SoundGaerden and Chris Cornell. He shouldn't be gone. Huge loss. RIP Chris. Thank You.
What a sweetheart. What a loss. 💔
God bless you Chris and your family too. We miss you and thank you for the gifts you left us...
Superunknown, and Down On The Upside are masterpieces.
Badmotorfinger was a much better album than Down On The Upside. It was too uneven for my taste, even though there are some gems on there.
Overfloater, Boot Camp, and Zero Chance are really underrated songs on Down On The Upside
Renounced Equation badmotorfinger
@@rain73ful agree exactly. The gems are masterpieces, however.
Badmotorfinger was one of my early cassettes.
Louder than Love !!!
Even his speaking voice is great
Miss this guy. What a loss to music. I still hear his voice when I write songs because he was such an influence
Can someone send this interview to Vicky Cornell, in particular the end of the interview when he’s talking in such a nice way about his band mates and how essential is their contribution to the final sound of the band? Thanks
"Do you think you'll be able to do what he does at his age..." If only Chris would have lived that long. Miss you.
The world of music is very lost without you Chris, you will be missed by millions, I hope the truth comes out one day. I know you wouldn't do that to your family. R.I.P
The last thing he said to his wife before he died was "I'm just so tired". You can sense that here.
I give a thumbs up for this video only for Chris's amazing thoughtfulness, graciousness and coolness throughout this interview. RIP Chris -- you will always be so missed.
"Superunknown" is one of my favorite Soundgarden albums, it's an amazing album from beginning to end!
The ONLY celebrity that I ever cried over
If I could have gone back in time and made any difference for him in anyway that would have altered his outcome..
Same
Him & Dimebag
@@jakevoss7885 Neil peart and Chris for me.......i know Clapton has been an influence, and Jackson Browne was sick recently....all so crucial to my personal growth and inspiration as a musician.....,,
Is that some sort of achievement?
halfway there, pretty noose, mailman, room a thousand years wide, let me drown, 4th of july, boot camp, scar on the sky... the criativity and musical wise of this man will be remembered one day for the masses
Rip Thank you for the music of my youth
Superunknown was a phenomenal album. Rest in peace Chris.
Hes is a pleasure to be around just so humble and down to earth
very humble guy and amazing talent possibly one of the nicest guys youl know rip
100%
Sad..Well I guess Rock Stars of this level live in Dog years. 52 is like 350 years for these guys. Around the world many times, 2 wives, kids, success million times over. I guess they just get worn out. They may Look fine but internally, emotionally, spiritually we'll never know the wear n tear they endure. RIP Chris, we'll all certainly miss you. You've left us more memories than most can count
I think his death just happened, not planned or something that he anticipated though it crossed his mind alot probably.
His murder just happened. He was onto the child sex trafficking and the private island where they were being held, used, and abused. The people who run that are very powerful and influential and couldn't allow him to expose them. Chris had an organization (nonprofit?) that's purpose is to expose that and enable the authorities to prosecute the people who are involved.
After his alleged suicide, he was examined and found to have 9 broken ribs and you don't get that many from a passive hanging. I mean that when you take enough of something to make you pass out and have something around your neck that will not let you go totally limp into a horizontal laying-flat-on-the-floor position. He didn't even have enough Ativan in his system to make him pass out to begin with. There are a number of other clues to go against him committing suicide but he was quickly rushed to be cremated so that no more evidence could get discovered. The evidence that has leaked out will eventually get some of the people involved but not all of them. Sadly, such talent and grace was silenced much too early.
@@invaliduserid5807 Amen.
A funny memory when I think of Superunknown is of this creep that worked with me at the time. I'd listen to a rock station every day and Black Hole Sun was playing. The guy comes walking by and goes "PFFT! I hate that shit. Soundgarden and Pearl Jam BOTH suck!". Fast forward a few days later>>> Hunger Strike is playing and the same idiot says "Man, I love that Temple Of The Dog, Great band!". So I look at him wondering if he's joking or not. I ask just to make sure 'You say that you hate Soundgarden and Pearl Jam but yet you like Temple Of The Dog'. He looks confused and says "Yeah, Why?" I started laughing and told him to come over and sit down. I had some explaining to do. LMAO
Ahahahaha! that stuff happens
All the time. , or they hate the way he sings and they ask if you've heard audioslave and say " now this guy is a real badass!, unlike soundgarden singer...." things that make ya go hmmmm ...then pow! , bip, pop....zing! Lol
LOL, I had something similar happen..this jerk was saying Chris Cornell, & Eddie Vedder were sooo overrated..that they probably used autotune, blah,blah,blah...then Hunger Strike .., he is going on & on & on...Well, I never told him ..should have..but ,I'm sure he made a complete arse of himself down the road..😂😂😂
@@sandipage9525
Autotune wasn’t invented until 1997, so I doubt that idiot wouldn’t know that.
@@sandipage9525 there was no autotune til the late 90s and for general people to know about it was in 2000s, not many artists were using it even then so for him to know about autotune before it was invented.....maybe not such a creep.
I miss this guy. I miss this band. Louder than love and Badmotorfinger changed me as a listener and as a musician. We miss you Chris.
Very down to earth and loving and a huge loss to the world of grunge and rock. Man I miss Chris Cornell what a talent.
Favourite heavy track, 4th of July 💀💀
one of the best singers
Jorge I like your profile picture. Bad Brains was really good.
I was listening to Superunknown today which lead me to this interview. Fuck , I miss this mans voice . I am so thankful for what he and the band have left us . R.I.P Chris 🎸
RIP Chris Cornell! One of the very best. Sad he's not still around.
I miss you Chris so much . Hurts to see you I'm so glad me and my husband got to see your last show in Wisconsin northern invasion. Rip CC
Breaks my heart that he's gone.
His musical and vocal genius is and always will be the pinnacle of perfection. He's missed every day!
God I miss you sooooo f#
All of a sudden this recommended video appeared for me to watch, and it's incredible to think that Next Year (2024) it's going to be Superunknown's 30th anniversary!. Man surely time flies, especially considering that Chris left us in 2017. Forever missed Chris ❤
I will never get over this man's death..his voice will be in my head till I die.
What a beautiful soul. He looks tortured answering these questions on the surface and such a deeper look and dimensions in his eyes.
superunknown was such a great album. one of those few albums that you can play from beginning to end and not hear a bad song. whole album was so good. not many bands can say they had such a great album from beginning to end like that
Things like this make me miss him sooo much more every single day. 💔
Such a great interview with Chris Cornell. I love how it’s just an easy conversation. He was so humble and intelligent. Good interviewer too❤️
miss living n LA & listening to World Famous KROQ!
I was lucky enough to play spoons with CC on stage, in Norway.
Awsome experience. Humble and funny guy.
Legend gone to early.
RIP.
@geirstol amazing memory
@@Thisismeofcourse We talked about bringing spoons and going to front of stage, and see what might happen.
He pointed at me, and said "I'm gonna bring you up on a special song"......and he did :)
There is a vid of it here on YT, if you search "Chris Cornell Kristiansand" :)
We also had made our own t-shirts saying ".....I don't mind stealing bread...", he'd never seen that before and asked if he could have it. Stupidly I just gave it to him, without him trading me his t-shirt LOL! After we were done, he played the rest of the consert in my T-shirt :)
What a sweetheart. Always sharing the credit, and talking about timing, luck and fortune.
much love Cornell
i know seeing this video many years later just gives that sense of sorrow
I've been a fan of Soundgarden / Audioslave for a long time......loved all their music but I've never really seen any of Chris Cornell's interviews before. He is a very humble and down to Earth guy.
very humble man.
Great material! Thanks for sharing!
By the way, just got the Deluxe version, it's a must have for any fan. It's priceless to listen to demo materials.
One of the legends gone way too soon. Rest in peace Chris... Miss anticipating new music from him. What a talent!!!!!
"Do you think you will be doing what Ozzy is doing when you are his age?" Sad. RIP Chris

Limo Wreck was the best song from Superunknown. Maybe the best Soundgarden song of all.
+MakerInMotion yes. 100%
Easily
+MakerInMotion Chester Bennington of Linkin Park loves Limo Wreck - his favourite Soundgarden song.
Why can't they do that song live? Is there something I don't know?
They played that song at Guitar Center.
I sit here and listen to Chris Cornell and can't believe he is gone. I honestly know and believe he had so much to live for. this has affected me so much and I feel so sad for everyone that knew him and had a connection with him. I feel for his wife and kids and friends. prayers for all!!!
I still think about Chris a couple times a day. Can't imagine what his family and the band are going through. Matt, Kim and Ben wish them all the best. Chris Please RIP. Diana
9:47 Love this story Chris tells about Prince.
He was visually and vocally stunning x
He was a gentle and humble soul, a wizard. He's still with us through his music
god i could just watch and listen to him all day long xx
Soundgarden was so much better than Pearl Jam or Nirvana
rip chris :(
They were the FIRST.
Agree. Soundgarden and AIC were my favs from that era (and still are some of my favorite music). I was never much of a Nirvana fan (overrated in my view) and I'm a Pearl Jam fan, but I can take or leave them musically. Chris Cornell and Jerry Cantrell were the two guys that made it all happen for me. I never saw either band live, but I did get to catch Chris' solo show last year, which I'm very glad for now.
RIP Chris. You will truly be missed in many ways. So sorry to see you go so soon.
James Rockford And Mudhoney was even better
this is part of the reason teresstial /regional radio, outside of a handful of major markets, has greatly diminished: DJs can be very annoying ( obnoxious).
Perfection
he looked so good in this video so sad to hear hes gone god bless him great guy and amazing person rip
One of my favorite albums of all time, a masterpiece. RIP Chris
