- I've heard Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell separately, but there's no way I could have prepared myself to hear the two of them together. Today we're watching the official music video for Temple of the Dog's "Hunger Strike."

Rest in Power Mr. Cornell. No one sings like you anymore.
Protect Mr. Vedder, he is the last one.
Amen to that. The world's heartbeat will stop when Eddie passes a very looooong time from now.
Last one of what?
If you mean the grunge school, then Buzz Osborne, Mark Arm, Selene Vigil, Courtney, and Albini are still with us, and most actively performing.
@@FungusMossGnosisI think he meant vocal quality and sound. Think Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, Chris Cornell, and Eddie Vedder. I might throw in the still-living-and-performing Gavin Rossdale, but as a Brit he’s a little different from those Seattle grunge rockers. On second thought, I think Dave Grohl fits in the category also.
they killed him because he stood for something and stood up for those who didnt have a voice. him and chester and i think they got paul walker too. They were going to expose the likes of john podesta and the clintons and their molesting ring.
@@FungusMossGnosisHe's the last one alive of the lead singers from the big 4 grunge bands at the time: Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam.
Never apologize for rewinding and listening to Vedder and Cornell one more time. Ever.
Amen
Say Hello to Heaven off the same record. The other single. 🎤 ❤💯
Omg yes!!! That song guts me everytime
So much this. Say Hello to Heaven is all the feels for this 90’s girl and the Seattle sound ❤️
Don't forget about Call me a Dog,!
The live of that is great too
I've been begging for so many from this album! Yay! 🎉
@TheVocalyst
How crazy is it that Chris, Eddie, and Layne were all in Seattle singing during the same time. Crazy.
Exactly, three of the best vocalists in the early 90s!
yup, so sad 2 of the 3 are not with us anymore
Story goes and You can pick him out, Layne came to the studio and sang 1 harmany track. ( He was in BAD shape, that day. The story gos...) RIP Guys.
Mark Lanergan too
dont forget Kurt
From my understanding Eddie was in town auditioning for Mookie Blaylock which would become pearl jam. He was hanging out while the band was practicing. Chris was trying to sing both parts an just was not getting what he heard in his head. the next run thru Eddie just stepped up to the mike gave Chris a look and sang the lower part. they knew it was something right away. This was Eddie Vedder's first appearance on a studio album.
Cool story behind this. I really had no idea when this came out in the time line. Cheers.
Yes, it was fall of 1990. They would jam (😉) as Mookie Blaylock during the day and record Temple overnight.
Mookie Blaylock was already a band, but yes. Temple of the Dog is a tribute album to Andrew Wood, the lead singer of Mother Love Bone ❤️🔥
Wow historic and amazing
The doco PJ20 talks about this. Apparently , this was Eddies first professional studio recording. There are a couple of UA-cam videos of Soundgarden live where Eddie will jump on Matt Cameron’s mic.(Outshined). Chris had teamed up with the members of Mother Love Bone (after being a flat mate with the recently deceased Andy Wood) and Motherlove bone were auditioning singers. I’m glad that Chris gave Eddy this opportunity and both Soundgarden and Pearl Jam evolved to give us the 90’s we love
Damn every time I hear Chris now I can't keep the tears from running down my face. Always brings such joy but breaks my heart all over again.
We all lost a beautiful human
Same here, and not ashamed to admit that I cry when I hear Chris. A huge loss is an understatement.
I nearly crashed my car when I heard, had to pull over. The airways are not the same without new music from Chris.
Forever beautiful best duet ever❤🤜🤛I miss you Chris 😢
Just remember he gave us a life of music to enjoy from a least 3 different bands plus his own solo stuff. What a blessing to the world. 🌎
This is the Greatest Male Vocalist Duel in the History of Rock n Roll!
Your dam right they are the best to do it together rock on
Definitely one of my favorite. Eddie is great - Chris is absolutely perfect on T.O.T.D. Only Layne and Mark could match the P.N.W. sound with these two, IMO.
"I wanna back it up because I was not ready for this"
That happens a lot with Chris Cornell.
The entire Temple of the Dog album is great.
No autotune, no digitized vocals, just pure raw vocal talent.
This whole project was for Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone. The Seattle music scene of the late 80’s and early 90’s was a small community, with Sub Pop Records at the center. These guys all knew each other and it’s sad so many of them were gone way too soon. The pain and passion in this album was very real. You need to listen to Say Hello To Heaven and to some Audioslave. The many vocal eras of Chris Cornell. Loving the channel!
Spot on!
Yes, what a scene it was…. I was just a little guy but I remember my brother listening to it on repeat… When America was kinder, gentler, and better ~ 🙏🏻🇺🇸
i knew them all damn dead but eddie! damn chris n rest dying knowing how their friends friend all called me baby brother! i knew em all since 1988 age 9 cos actor henry thomas knew i was abused bad daily the actor/musician took me on endless road shows had pics signed stuff 96 liar drunk mom got me put in asylum 5 years!!!!! cos kurts death fucked me up 16 times met him most....u ppl dont know will never damn know!!! too 3 weeks before his death met layne he hugged me sayin fun playin games w ya laughing my guy, hope we'll see each other again ya never a fly fan flyin round us all junkies dying n gettin pics....i love you by then i was taller than him he skinny shrunk teeth gone i cried home to texas had to be sedated i said hes gonna die soon n doesnt care henry!....next scot stp/ n chris may be dead but feel eddie will be last sad lost soul of the era dead...i passed out xanax i was rantin upset i was right sadly.... nu metal trash/n mumble rap woulds become glorified by lil peep...n awful nu metal absurd slip knot....davis of korn was is my only friend mom threw all my shit i was locked up lies for a pedo man she awful dyin now hurtss LOVE HATE LOVE seriously...dementia she remembers shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My thoughts exactly. There are some Temple of the Dog reunion tour You Tube videos from mid 2000s that are great, and the covers from the Chris Cornell tribute concert are fantastic.
In addition to just knowing each other, Chris Cornell and Andrew Wood were roommates and besties. "I don’t know if you can ever take him out of [my heart and soul]" Cornell mused about Wood. "There was a period of time when he would sit in his bedroom across the hall from mine and we would kind of have these dueling four-track demos and songs. He wasn’t doing it for Malfunkshun and me doing it for Soundgarden; it had nothing to do with that. It was us just having fun. Maybe you can look at it as songwriting exercises? We were always kind of neck and neck. We were very different from each other in terms of our approach. He was very free and didn’t necessarily have a critical voice while he was in the process of writing a song. He would just do anything. I on the other hand," admitted Cornell, "not only do I have a critical voice, I have sort of an editorial staff and what that creates is something kind of completely different."
"He would do these amazing free things that felt so - almost to the degree of just being dangerous in a way -because it was so free and un-self-conscious," Cornell reminisced. "I would think 'How do you do that?' We would always observe each other. That’s sort of like what I would equate to early college years, that doesn’t go away. Those experiences never stop being a part of who you are and how you think."
I’ve got a cool story about Eddie Vedder. First I worked for an insurance company back in the day in the special lines field and remember actually speaking to Eddie about his boat policy! He said enjoyed calling instead of his agent! Very down to Earth and later we were able to meet at a Seattle Pearl Jam show so he was able to put a face to the voice on the phone 📱. ILL NEVER FORGET IT! RIP CHRIS CORNELL. The Seattle scene in the early 1990’s is unsurpassed by anything going on today!
Are you still in the insurance business? 🤔
@@puffdaddy420
You've been had
If Eddie’s voice is the foundation of the house 🏠 then Chris’s voice is the roof!
Two of the greatest vocalists of my generation. Chris was one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time. This is one of those songs that I can't hear loud enough or often enough. It still makes me feel as it did all those years ago, it's utterly sublime!
In my opinion Temple of the Dog was Chris Cornells best vocals. I know I am going to get hate but his later stuff I wish he would just open his mouth because I am not a fan of the sound. Greatest rock vocalists of all time, No but he was good. One of the greatest grunge yes. There are so many better vocalists in rock over the years but he knew his lane and did it very well, him and Eddie were the masters of grunge.
@@gzin33
Let’s give credit to Chris’ solo work.
Eddie never comes close.
@@bobcousins8685
With due respect, Pearl Jam’s Unplugged performance of Black may be the single greatest vocal performance by anyone, ever.
@@bobcousins8685
I prefer Eddie's voice. Better tone but less range. Range is criminally overrated. I loved Cornell's voice when he was older and unable to sing as high as he could when he was young. I just don't like super high signing. It's all opinion.
Cornell wrote the whole album. He doesn’t get enough credit as an elite songwriter. Amazing lyricist, guitarist, (and he was originally the drummer in Soundgarden). Just a musical phenom
True, he is one the greatest songwriters in rock, no doubt about it.
Melodic genius. No doubt.
Chris Cornel has a great solo record called Euphoria. His vocal work with Audioslave is emotionally intense as well.
Euphoria Morning to be exact! One of the singles was featured on the Great Expectations soundtrack called "Sunshower" which is one of Chris' best written songs
@@JohnnyBNerdySunshower wasn't on Euphoria Mourning, except on the Japanese release of the album. You could only get it from the Great Expectations soundtrack. Although Chris did open his tour of Euphoria Mourning with Sunshower
He was also one of the all time greatest song writers.....
Euphoria Morning is a masterpiece. I recommend listening to the whole album end to end, but check out Preaching the End of the World, Follow My Way, Moonchild, and Steel Rain just to name a few that get less notoriety than Can't Change Me.
Can't believe noone mentioned When I'm Down from this Album. It is awesome!
This is forever considered one of the best songs not only in grunge, not only in rock, but in the history of music in general. The combination of both voices, the tessitura, softness and intensity of Chris and Eddie, the beautiful contrast that goes from Corner's voice to Eddie gravity. when the instruments change tone and the beautiful cries of Chris with a voice as powerful as that of a fucking God.! They make this song remain for posterity as a Grunge anthem.
It's in the Top 10.....OK. in the Top 5
This song and overall album still reign over all others 30+ years later. Those of us who grew up to this are very fortunate. RIP Chris. Thank you. Keep rockin Eddie. You are eternal.
RIP Chris. One of the best voices ever.
I saw Soundgarden back with their Louder than Love tour. Chris is such a powerful singer you could hear him above the PA system. He could blow your hair back.
I remember smiling uncontrollably when he had moments of letting rip & going straight at you instead of thru the PA thru his one-man-and-his-acoustic solo shows. Granted I was only a few rows back, but good grief, could that man shift air when he felt like it. No wonder he blew out 4 or 5 expensive Neumann microphones while recording "Superunknown"!! :)
I still tear up hearing and seeing Chris. He was phenomenal and his personality matched his talent. Eddie, my man crush, kills everything he touches. Check out He and Tom Petty doing "The Waiting" live. Even Petty is in awe of Eddie singing his song. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Oh yes! The Waiting is on of my favorite Tom Petty songs and the two of them are amazing!
I was fortunate enough to see Chris Cornell live a few times. His vocal power and range are, in my humble opinion, unmatched in rock music. He was truly gifted.
Some of Chris' best vocals are on this album. This entire album is a goldmine of Chris Cornell vocals. Definitely worth checking out!
i loved bethany's facial expression when Chris went even higher
Yes same!! And I ❤ how she ❤’s Chris now after finding him so recently.
I have been a fan for 30 years and both of them still make me smile when they surprise me with their vocals. They have 2 of the most beautiful voices I will ever hear.
Thank You for praising Eddie, he is incredible!! So is Stone, Jeff, Mike and Matt.😊🩷🤘✌️
I hear what you're saying about Chris and Eddie not overpowering the other and stealing the glory . They're equally as impressive, and I've always thought that. I think they would probably agree since TOTD was a collaborative project meant to honor their friend Andrew Wood. It was never about competing. I think they both sang as if Andrew were watching them.😎❤️
Chris Cornell’s harmony in the 2nd pre-chorus is (chef’s kiss), and I’ll always love his ability to make those high notes/screams look effortless. He just had *it*. Amazing timbre, technique and use of dynamics.
Two of the best voices in music let alone rock
Excellent take on the track. Perhaps one of the best I have seen/heard. Your observation skills are deep and your articulation of those observations are so satisfying - - - I watched it twice - - - I never do that. Instead of being frustrated at what the reviewer / reactor _missed_ in their respective takes, I simply repeated, "Yes!" throughout your video. Well done, Ma'am. Subscribing.
I have said it before when you reacted to Chris. What a loss this man was. To hear Chris and Eddie here and you reacting to them is a joy. Thank you.
Only artist I actually cried when hearing of his death! Chris was incredible!
This is so beautiful, makes me cry. Great analysis ❤
They don’t make it like this anymore… Definitely feel the emotion of the song & time… When America was kinder, gentler, and better ~ 🙏🏻⬆️🇺🇸
You need to hear Mad Season, a side project that was comprised of members of the Seattle grunge scene at the time, including Layne Staley (Alice In Chains) and Mike McCready (Pearl Jam). It's some of Layne's best work ('Wake Up' is especially poignant). Even the instrumental 'November Hotel' will blow your mind.
And Mark Lanegan on a couple of songs. I personally feel he’s the most underrated (or maybe under appreciated?) of the Seattle singers.
Yes!
chris cornell could read off stereo instructions and i'd listen to the end. his voice, what can i say? i love every time he sings-it's magical.
A special time and place in music history. All of the right ingredients coming together at the same time to create an epic voice for a generation.
The story behind this song/ album is so touching. There's a doc about it, about Andy Wood, i saw when looking for interview footage of Chris after he died. It's a really beautiful doc, sad story, and was the perfect thing i was searching for. I've watched it a few times cause it's such a testament of love. I didnt appreciate Chris enough while he was alive and i regret that. I liked his music but i didn't give him the proper attention or respect and acknowledgement till after. He was really amazing and his music lives on
RIP Chris Cornell
Sent shivers down my spine when i first heard it all those years ago......Still does now,...amazing performance by an amazing group of musicians.
eddie vedder is on another level, he has the mana when he comes in this makes the song
Got this album 30 years ago. Never gets old.
Chris is the best vocal talent rock has ever seen. RIP, if you need help please ask for it, don't take your life.
Eddie's riffing down the scale low range near the end while Chris is in high range mode brings a tear to my eye
One of my favorite albums from my 2 favorite bands. This was the very first CD I bought back in the day when it came out.
Must be so amazing yet overwhelming to listen to all these awesome 90s Grunge songs for the first time while most of us have listened to them for uncountable times! They are still as powerful over 30 years later🔥
Two great voices of a generation 👍
Saw Chris with Soundgarden on LOLLAPOLOOZA 92 which overall was better than 93 and 94 minus Alice In Chains (93). Included Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ministry, Ice Cube, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Pearl Jam, Lush, Rage Against The Machine, Cypress Hill, House of Pain, Stone Temple Pilots, Temple of the Dog. Chris blew everyone away with those amazing vocals into the stratosphere! Love and miss the sound of that man’s voice! I find myself crying at the beginning of Hunger Strike. RIP CHRIS!
I was there too! Great show and day!
As others mentioned, this was a dedication to a lost friend, Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone. Now, you should take a listen to Andrew Wood by reacting to 'Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns'.
Great analysis!
Dont u EVER apologize for rewinding hunger strike!!! Two legends
This whole album is worth a reaction. I LOVE LOVE LOVE watching your eyes when vocals are really touching you. They just sparkle and it's wonderful to see.
One of the greatest opening lines ever! RIP CC 😥
"Reach Down" from this has some of the craziest (in a good way) vocals I've ever heard.
Definitely a perfect balance of both their voices. I don't know how much I played this song when it came out, but you could be fairly certain if I was driving for more than an hour this would be on at least 3 times during that trip for the first month.
For me, I'm in my fifties now, this is still one of the best albums ever.
Especially this song. The combination of their voices.
As others have commented, it was a small scene. But you can only accomplish an album like this when there is mutual respect, kindred spirits or whatever (or am I too romantic?)
You can make a career analyzing Chris Cornell’s range.
Here’s a few I love:
Thank You
Say Hello to Heaven
Getaway Car
One
Sunshower
As Hope and Promise Fade (acoustic live version)
WOW! Normally I don't mind fishing off the bank but sometimes I feel like I missed the boat but thank the OMNIPOTENT for you!! I've overheard the song now and then but never enough to even know who it was. Chris sure looks way different from the Nothing Compares To You vid. Well another album I must explore and looks like great ideas from your fans!! Great Channel Bethany! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
I was in college radio during the beginning of the grunge music era, and this song and Say Hello to Heaven were staples with early stuff by Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice In Chains, etc… great time to be in radio…
I remember my oldest brother and his buddy Jason listening to this on repeat…And I’d sit outside the room wishing they’d let me come in… 😆 Man, two greats and the beautiful music they made… They just don’t have this Spirit nowadays… RIP, Chris - We Know ~ 🙏🏻⬆️🇺🇸
It's an absolute crime that Chris isn't in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame. #1
Yes! I still mourn the loss of Chris. Temple of the Dog was my intro to both in the early 90s. The two best voices.
Chris's vocals are leagues above anyone else in the grunge era. Absolute legend.
No. No. NO!! He IS my favorite, BUT!!! You cannot say "LEAGUES" with Layne Staley!! You can with the rest of them. (though I'm a HUGE fan of Kurt Cobain and Scott Weiland's voices as well)
I have been fans of EV and CC for decades now. Watching you discover them brings such joy but also recall the saddness 😢.
From this album: Say Hello 2 Heaven. A must-have! A remarkable vocal display, a performance that shows off the amazing range of Chris' voice. I've heard this song thousands of times and seemingly always know what to expect.... but still, every time I listen to it, I'm very impressed and amazed how good Chris was.
I thought that was a great comment when you said they were both holding their own. Perfect description.
Chris Cornell ❤❤❤🙏
What's amazing is how fulfilling this song is lyrically, and then you stop and realize it literally has one verse and one chorus, repeated in a mantra fashion. Evidence that it's not always how many words you have to say, but the feeling and power behind how you say (sing) it.
Watching you makes me smile and I love how joyful you are listening to Chris and Eddie together for the first time. But I am also profoundly sad that none of us will experience this feeling again with another song. I wish Chris could stay with us a little longer.
Quintessential early 90s.
From two of the biggest fan of that time. And deservedly so
I was so excited to see you covering this song. It still gets me emotional on a few different levels. But the vocals from both of these legends are incredible. ❤
One of my all time favorite songs period. Love the feeling and emotion of the vocals by both Chris and Eddie. Thank you for taking a listen to this one!
That's real music & it needs to come back
I just love how giddy you get . your love and passion of hearing a voice and the way you can describe it to someone like me is just beautiful . wishing you and yours a happy holiday season
Been waiting for this 1. Such a great song!
Just discovered this channel and I'm now binging. Love you analysis and your obvious passion for singing and vocal technique. I first heard Eddie Vedder live in a Tower Records promotional set in my hometown. Then a month later at Lalapalooza. Both times, despite the different venue sizes and acoustics, he just reached into my soul and totally captivated. So dynamic, raw and emotional. Love listening to him and PJ.
These are two of my absolute favorite singers in a tribute to another icon sadly lost too soon in Andy Wood of Mother Love Bone. After Andy's passing, MLB essentially becomes Mookie Blaylock as EV is a huge MB fan. Clearer heads later prevail and MB rises as Pearl Jam with Eddie as last man standing. RIP Andy Wood, Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, Mike Starr and Chris Cornell...gone but never forgotten.❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
RIP Chris, RIP Andy..
I bought this album in 1991 and it became one of my alltime favourites 🔥❤️
So nice to hear you listening and enjoying it over 30 years later 🙏🏼
It took awhile, but very glad you came around to check this one out from the very talented artists that you are familiar with from their colab 💞 Nice review. Thank you
I LOVE what you are doing! Fascinating to watch and listen to as well! I appreciate the insights you are giving. Here especially, since those guys are my all-time heroes and Chris is surely missed. Keep up the good work!!!
" Oh Golly"
Yes, exactly. Its that good!
Thank you so much for the reaction/analysis. Keep em coming 🤘🏼🎸🥁🎤🎻🎹🤘🏼
I haven't heard this song in ages, it's one of those songs that really hits you in the soft spot and I don't know why. Great reaction.
Ive seen chris live 3 times n i tell you the quality of his voice is mind blowing live, hes such a powerful singer one of the all times forsure
It’s a beautiful sound, from both of these guys, it’s a beautiful thing, I love it so much!😊
It makes my heart so happy to hear you, Bethany, and other professionals like you, recognizing the greatness and depth of the voices from our youth... We knew them- and still remember today- that these vocalists were something special... Thank you for what you do!
Bethany I’ve just recently discovered your channel and I’m loving your pure positive reactions to the bands of my youth, you can see your appreciation of their music in your eyes. I was fortunate to see Chris Cornell in concert when he was with Audioslave and then also even more amazing on his solo Songbook tour 🙌🏼 “no one sings like you anymore” Chris, rip 😇
a little story for those of you that read my comment, I saw Chris in Tampa Florida on his solo tour and I was walking around the back of the building a few hours before the concert. I heard him warming up his voice backstage all alone through a crack between two old wood doors, I sat there for a few minutes and listened to his voice by myself, I’ll never forget that 😌
2 of the best vocals .. love eddie vedder big time... chris cornel is awesome as always
I played this whole cassette so much that i wore out my tape when this came out back 😅n the day. By far one of my favorites between then and up ti today… especially this song… i live the eddie and chris sharing vocal duties
This was the best analysis and opinion I've seen on this song. Very well done.
I love watching your vids! It's not said enough the care and attention you give to each song to delve into what makes them so appealing to fans and what makes the artists delivery unique. Thank u for what you do!
They feed off each other so beautifully, and that's why I love duets so much!
It makes me so happy to watch your emotional reactions to these artists I grew up on and love so much!
Chris Cornell's part in this song is amazing! 😢
Thank you 😊 I love your channel ✨💝✨
80's and 90's Metal, Rock and Grunge is unbeatable. It will never be duplicated.
I’ve got to say that I’m extremely impressed by your remarks which is something I’ve never experienced from any of these vocal coach reactions. Thanks for your take…very well done.
Great reaction & analysis, thank you Bethany.
Chris was always the ultimate emotive vocalist, but since his death that has only amplified and we all feel his pain and the loss of him even more every time we hear his voice.
Thanks for sharing
This song means so much to the people in the comments and your reaction managed to add so much ❤
I simply cannot be in a bad mood while watching your videos. Your enthusiasm and positivity are infectious.
The whole album is fantastic.
This song kickstarted a whole generation and era of human history that changed everything.....
Chris and Eddie.....listening to them has me smile ear to ear. My childhood and teen years all over again.
I love the pure enjoyment and surprise at the 12:45 on your face. It’s so enjoyable to see someone light up when it strikes a nerve with them. I enjoy this song and many others from this era and watching you break it down makes me revisit this with a clean new perspective. Thank you. Job well done and continue with the 90s grunge. There are lots of hidden gems for you to discover.
