I'm a fan of Soundgarden from 3rd world country. I was in high school and saved money to buy their Superunknown album after i had heard the "Superunknown" track. Ever since, the band became my source of energy, it fuelled me to complete my Computer Science degree . Now, I am living in a first world country. Thank you Chris.
They made complex time sounds so natural. Too many other bands that wrote in metres other than 4/4 or 6/8 sound like you're listening to someone's math homework, but this shifts between 6/4 ans 10/4 and other time signatures without ever feeling weird. Its amazing
@@AlekseyFilippovHuzzah exactly. a lot of those math guys calculate and use pen and paper to come up with the rhythms, these guys just feel it. thats why it sounds so natural
the "secret master" in the band is matt cameron,he's into time changes a lot,chris used to write songs in different weird guitar tunnings.soundgarden was great because the four wrote and added to the band. there was no weak link,all played great
+EQ-smoove - Creative differences during the Down on the Upside recording sessions between Chris Cornell, who wanted to explore more of the mellow tunes that allowed him to use his vocals to their full range, and Kim Thayil, who wanted to go back to the hard and heavy and guitar-intensive sounds as before Superunknown.
Soundgarden (way back when they started) was my favorite but they took it further with Superunknown. Purists didn't like the "pop" element but Cornell's songwriting took me beyond that. The man could write songs and sing them like no other. Slava Ukraini
My dad has been gone 12 years now and lost him in my early 20s. Soundgarden was the first band my dad and I bonded over. This song especially. Funny what music can do, no?
Produced in 1994, released in 95'. God. I can't imagine what he went through two decades, and how worst it got as older he got. Rest in Peace Chris Cornell.
I was born in 75 so I loved Superunknown in 94 and the grunge movement as a whole. Now, 2024, I simply think this album is the best I've ever heard in terms of magic mistery. I even wrote a message to Michael Beinhorn to thank him for the production of the album (masterpiece) and the guy was so generous that he repplied to me. Everything related to the album is perfect. Even the weird songs fit perfectly. Awesome
As a guitar player when you take the time and dissect these riffs, melody's and juxtapose synchronicities. Soundgarden was really unorthodoxed and don't even get me started on Cornell's vocal abilities while playing said chords. It's truly unbelievable, best songwriters hands down
SoundGarden is one of those bands that with RARELY exceptions ALL the members are top level musicians, just like the Beatles or PinkFloyd, where all the members were talented and multifaceted. The bassist (Ben Shepherd) is a monster, the drummer (Matt Cameron) is a killer, the guitarist (Kim Thayil) is breathtaking in the tuning and complexity of the riffs, and Cornell sings like a God of Olympus, as well as playing very well, it's a band that has everything in terms of music, composition, chords, sonority, it's like a classical music show where the Maestro is rock n roll.
First thought upon hitting play was, damn the tones is dead on. Like hell even the live studio cut w the video didn't have tones this close to the record. Chris especially he's tone is clean and crisp. I wish I could see his board better here.

Just teared up watching this. I'm a 37 yr old male that grew up to this music. I rarely cry, but this song along with Chris's departure really got to me today and gave me a reality check. Rest in peace Chris, we will miss you very much.
This is a stunning version and his voice, of course, incredible, so full, even up there in a tenor level. A voice like that is gift. RIP, good brother.
"Whatsoever I've feared has come to life Whatsoever I've fought off became my life Just when everyday seemed to greet me with a smile Sunspots have faded and now I'm doing time.. How would I know, that this could be my fate. I sure don't mind a change." RIP Chris
Sad loss. A great artist, a unique voice, gone way too soon. Thinking of his family, friends and band members. Really is a black day for a musos and my generation that grew up on Soundgarden. RIP Chris
What a devastating loss, R.I.P. Chris Cornell you will be very sorely missed. Your music and lyrics had such a big influence on so many peoples lives, including mine...
This whole album has been a mainstay in my life for a long long time. Got me thru the ups and downs. When Chris passed, it really hit me more then any other rock star or famous person passing away. I feel like I truly knew a part of him and he knew me in some weird distant way. One of goats in music for sure
Thank you Chris from the bottom of my broken heart...you, Layne, Scott, saved so many people you will never understand. I'm forever thankful that I had your musical presence in my life! Rest easy spoonman
He was an amazing man with an incredible talent... People like him always leave a drama in our hearts when they leave. Chris' voice always touches our souls and we mourn the loss every time we listen to his songs
It's so hard to believe he's gone. I'm not a musician, but his music always motivated me to push harder in my workouts and study sessions. A true legend that will be missed and remembered. RIP brother. 😔
I love this very much. The way Chris Cornell, RIP changed his phenomenal vocals was like no other vocalist. His art was very deep. This song played 24/7 in my head. It haunted me wherever I went...
I dont know what to say about the news I got this morning, ive been a soundgarden fan since I learned how to piss in a toilet. My condolences to the friends and family of Chris Cornell, we all lost someone very special today. To the other members of soundgarden- I can't thank you enough for your music, you guys got me through really tough times growing up and it means the world to me. Personally I wont dwell on what I lost today, I would rather look back on all that I've gained from his work
Anyone else find it difficult to not cry a little bit hearing Chris sing these lyrics? So alive and so in touch with death. And let's not forget Matt Effing Cameron.
There will never be another Chris Cornell. No one will ever reach the level of this mans amazing lyrics, vocal power and musical creativity. Rest in peace forever, thanks for your presence in the rock world.
When I listen and re-listen to Soundgarden, I don't think Chris is dead. He lives forever through his records. To me, they are the same Soundgarden as they were back in MTV days.
Chris Cornell real true SUPER talented musician I saw soundgarden with guns n roses in biloxi ms new year's 1992 I believe I was young but my best memory was the song outshined it's just the way the bassist was playing literally between a slung over and laying on the ground and plus chris didn't have a shirt on just a memory embedded in my brain lot of soundgarden memories
Every once in awhile an artist touches your soul and Chris Cornell has done that for me. I'm so sad that I found him/his music after his passing. R.I.P. Mr. Cornell
What a band.
Guitarists love the guitarist, bassists love the bassist, drummers love the drummer, and everyone loves Chris Cornell.
SO WELL DESCRIBED.
Man this is so true. never thought about it like that.
And Chris was the only one in the band who was a guitarist as well and also the drummer. First drummer of Soundgarden. But yeah, you are right :)
AMÉN FOR THAT SENTENCE. WELL SAID BROTHER.
Perfection in Music Mothion 🎉❤

I love that album. Superunknown is still my favorite Soundgarden song. I'll never forget being a teen going to pharmore and buying that album.
Ride on, my friend❤️

I think it's because many math guys write to show off. For these guys I think it was a natural flow of the song, hence the musicality.
@@AlekseyFilippovHuzzah exactly. a lot of those math guys calculate and use pen and paper to come up with the rhythms, these guys just feel it. thats why it sounds so natural
It's because Cornell staterd out incredibly as a drummer. They had odd time signatures in their blood from the very beginning.
@@finerthings4546 good point
the "secret master" in the band is matt cameron,he's into time changes a lot,chris used to write songs in different weird guitar tunnings.soundgarden was great because the four wrote and added to the band. there was no weak link,all played great
Thank God Letterman loved music so fucking much and he left us with all of these killer live vids....thanks Dave!
Mike Patton damn right.
ppl are suggesting save wrapping legends. let's keep General Patton in mint condition
AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER!
Immense Patton Love from Pakistan...
Hard to under-credit Letterman for his musical taste AND this particular format. Dude did a lot to boost great music.

2024. The world misses Chris and soundgarden. May he rest in peace
R.I.P. Chris, a black day for sure...
Rip Chris, Jimmy , John, Randy. , miss you my bros.
Glad he's gone as I DISPISE or somehow HATE his soft rock BULLSHIT music!!!!!!
Yeah, but spell despise right
Christian Jackson
Can’t wait till you’re gone.
With your shitty spelling....
Nah.
I’m only joking.
.....am I really joking though
Christian Jackson dude wtf? You’re nuts.
Good song for 2020. Been one solid streak of black days. RIP Chris Cornell. The world will never know your like again.🙏
It's a beautiful song
Your so true, Cornell was so good rip
Amen love this guy
Amen would love to go back to the 90’s
@@Paulieg-oz2qz The 90's were such better years. 😔
So damn real - no pretentious lyrics, not a single contrived word - just bare bones - Chris Cornell. Rest In Peace
I’m 18 years old now and I’m a big fan of Soundgarden! Amazing band and music! Rip Chriss! Forever in my heart. Hello from Ukraine
SU!!!
Soundgarden (way back when they started) was my favorite but they took it further with Superunknown. Purists didn't like the "pop" element but Cornell's songwriting took me beyond that. The man could write songs and sing them like no other.

I miss him so much
"How would I know, that this could be my fate"... Dang. It doesn't quite land the same anymore. It seems too real. We all miss you grately, Sir.
This is just one of those songs that sticks with you forever. Glad they're back.
love me some soundgarden
Rest in peace Chris :(
R.I.P. Chris, one of the best ever. Thoughts to his family and friends. Hands down one of the best front men ever...will be sorely missed.
the shittiest.

What a shame to lose such a talented young man so early. His voice will live on.
Man, that sustained note from 3:26 to 3:33 gave me goosebumps! Chris Cornell is a legend of the mic!
It was good, but sounded fishy to me. I suspect some doubling or backing tracks were involved.
+Anjohl soundguy pushed up the delay fx, that's all.
Pendulum Panda echo/reverb effect
He was a legend of the mic! :(
have you heard Robert Plant or Myles Kennedy yet? Noob..
My dad has been gone 12 years now and lost him in my early 20s. Soundgarden was the first band my dad and I bonded over. This song especially. Funny what music can do, no?
Godspeed bro
It really is. So sorry for your loss man, bet he and Chris are jamming somewhere now.
the magic in the music keeps us connected with those who are gone...many such cases
Exactly, an endless well of universal emotionality. 🌌
"How would I know this could be my fate?" Indeed.
sadly, but someday
lexingtonbrassband we are all near the end
Produced in 1994, released in 95'. God. I can't imagine what he went through two decades, and how worst it got as older he got. Rest in Peace Chris Cornell.

HE WAS KILLED BY PEDOS, WAKE UP !!

I hear ya bro...I was born in 77'...
I had this song on repeat on 94' whiling driving to school in my junior year HS... 90s were amazing time....
The best rock voice of all time. 😍
cake sadly he’s dead
Definetly up there
Max A Million so? Every great rock singer is dead.
Some will argue that Freddie Mercury is the best. But CC is the best.
wow

Agree
Listening to him belt it out at 3:26 makes me emotional every single time I hear this! Such talent. No one sings like you anymore!
Its mixed voice not belt
You can belt in mixed voice
For such a simple guitar lick, him and Kim produce so much tone
First thought upon hitting play was, damn the tones is dead on. Like hell even the live studio cut w the video didn't have tones this close to the record. Chris especially he's tone is clean and crisp. I wish I could see his board better here.
Brilliant song, smouldering rage and pain hidden behind a beautiful facade. Soundgarden will always be legends.

Music has so much Power! right friends???
Hi
I just watched this too and same thing I started crying. He is the best .
Nothings the same anymore.
today is a dark day. RIP Chris you will forever be the best vocalist ever.
RIP Chris. No one sings like you any more.
RIP Leo. Wish you'd hung around for the encores.
His voice still echos in my head...
May 17th 2017 will be forever be known as a black day.
RIP Chris ..thank you for the precious memories. Say hi to Kurt and the guys.
To Cornell, the "black day" was the day he FELL.
@@conspiracytheorista8988 STFU! Don't you dare make light of him.
Say what's up to Andrew tell him we still needed him rn
cornell can still sing. man i would kill for his voice
Jacko Reaper I know this was three years ago and you had no idea, but this comment is kind of haunting now.
TheIcanntspel Exactly, it broke my heart.
I can still see and hear him in my mind. I'm glad I saw the last show of soundgarden . I was blessed
@Ballsdeep Singh is all that you can do... 🎶
I love his voice but It wasn’t strong. His mic needed some good amount of reverb
This is a stunning version and his voice, of course, incredible, so full, even up there in a tenor level. A voice like that is gift. RIP, good brother.
Man what a voice. Rest in peace Chris
So grateful that I had the opportunity to see Soundgarden live.
same here...
r.i.p. Chris, the best live vocalist of a generation.
We lost one of the most talented musician, producer,singer, writer, front man of this era. RIP Chris. You are missed.
it's a black day today, RIP Chris so unbelievably shocking. All our love and condolences , we always thinking of you
I am deeply sad that we all lost such a talented singer, songwriter and musician.
You will be greatly missed Chris!
RIP!
The best voice ever. Nuff said. RIP my brother.
These guys made this loook easy❤
His voice sounds so sweet live, the studio version has this roughness, but the clarity of his voice here is beautiful too. Both are good
One of my favorite songs of all time
"Whatsoever I've feared has come to life
Whatsoever I've fought off became my life
Just when everyday seemed to greet me with a smile
Sunspots have faded and now I'm doing time..
How would I know, that this could be my fate. I sure don't mind a change."
RIP Chris
Just a goddamned beautiful song.
Sad loss. A great artist, a unique voice, gone way too soon. Thinking of his family, friends and band members. Really is a black day for a musos and my generation that grew up on Soundgarden. RIP Chris
I fell on Black Days when we lost Chris.
I tried to kill myself.
RIP Chris. Best voice of all time. Irreplaceable
Grew up listening to Audioslave and Soundgarden. Rest in Peace Chris Cornell.
One of my favorites by Soundgarden... RIP Chris Cornell, a true and raw talent I will miss

One of the best rockers ever. Your memory, music, and legacy will live on forever.
Guys, this is a Letterman show taping crowd. It's not a Soundgarden concert. The crowd is fine. And man, the band never sounded better!
Such a voice, such a talent.
We live in a sad, narcissistic, depraved world but we were blessed with hope, strength, and love. Be the change you want to see in the world.
