    RIP Chris. One year ago I had the chance to hear him live for the first and last time in the Ancient Amphitheatre in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. After each song, the 10,000 + audience would stand up and applaud for around 30 seconds. Literally, after every song. No one could believe how amazing his performance actually was, I had seen countless of live videos, but on that night he nailed absolutely every single note and he played for 2 hours straight leaving the audience absolutely stunned. It felt like he was in the peak of his abilities. It was surely one of the most powerful music experiences I ever had. I still can't believe he passed today, because I can still imagine how he sounded in that Amphitheatre like it was yesterday.

      The distance from the microphone varies in the fact of is it a condenser or a dynamic mic. This is a Neumann condenser so he has to be farther away.
      Cornell is, in my opinion, the greatest vocal in rock when it comes to technique (favorite in sound is Layne Staley).

      Chris was awsome in all those bands and in solo. Both bands were 2 of my favourites bands of all time. 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) 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 : ua-cam.com/video/Pu_p1wbaCa8/v-deo.html
