The best singer of my generation. I lived in Seattle 93-96 & I’d see Chris all over the place. We had common friends & he was truly a beautiful soul. ☮️
I'm glad Morello keeps bringing up his melody writing. Melody writing is probably the toughest part of a song, as there are a million different melodies you can come up with. And Chris chose the best
Same here. I remember hearing some of the warm up on the radio, and started crying realizing, for some reason this was probably my last chance of seeing soundgarden
Matt Gilstrap I had the Pleasure of witnessing Chris Cornell's Higher Truth Acoustic Tour and Man! It was a Mindblowingly Awesome Experience! One of the Best Shows I have witnessed, and I feel so fortunate to have witnessed it...because sadly almost a Year later he was Gone....I feel Blessed to have Experienced his Greatness
That's a real bummer man. I saw Soundgarden live and I saw Chris do an acoustic show live. Saying those shows were good is a massive understatement. Sorry you didn't get the chance man.
Wow, that was one of the most interesting bits on Chris I've heard " dark of countenance". Morello is so bright and engaging. I love it when Howard just lets someone be on a roll and is fascinated by them. Would love to hear this whole interview
The former bandmates of Rage Against the Machine partnering with Chris Cornell was a match made in musical heaven! Audioslave was ground breaking stuff, so powerful and melodic at the same time.
I got to meet Tom at a small club in Cleveland years ago. He was so nice and genuine. He also laughed his ass off when I failed at a stage dive and floor bombed.
Chris was the best he could make any band come to the front Chris is in top 3 greatest singer/ song writer in rock history people like Chris only comes around every 50 years or so a rock n roll treasure
Chris Cornell is the only singer of this century, that bared his soul so beautifully everytime he created any music and was a walking vision. He will always look like Jesus and will forever be in our hearts.
Saw an early Soundgarden show at Illinois State U one night. Hate to say it but it left me with an awful foreboding feeling that took my joy away. They somehow blossomed. Audioslave and Pearl Jam members were the result. So glad it turned for the good.
Super story. 👌 Morello is a top man, as well as a top guitarist. 👨🏽🦲 🎸 To have worked with arguably 2 of the best front men & lyricists of the past 30 years and to have enhanced what they had... WOW. 😍 Thank you for both bands and the magic music that has helped be the backbone, and some of the soundtrack, to my/this crazy life. 👍 👏 😜 R.I.P. > Chris. So lucky to have seen you play live 3 times in the UK. ❤️
and i continue to worship you just like you did cornell, damn, i miss audioslave and rage, i never seen either live ... oh and for all the people that call tom a fascist dick, this interview alone shows how smart and articulate he is.
Audioslave was so good,sad another album never got made,hopefully a b-sides & unreleased stuff gets released,R.I.P Chris cornell a singer who defined an entire generation & made some of the most memorable albums
RIP Chris, was lucky to see Soundgarden on Chris's birthday actually in lake tahoe years ago, what a show and what an angelic voice. I don't know what happens when you die, but if there is a Heaven, and I hope there is, Chris is definitely leading the choir of Angels.
Trust me I’m a hard-core fan of Rage and Soundgarden, but I just couldn’t get into Audioslave that much. This is coming from someone that is super open minded with music.
I'm still kinda in denial that chris is gone..idk...I've heard the conspiracies and they sound more believable to me..at the same time..he was a creator of more darker somber music and did seem depressed

Man, morello is articulate AF.
R.I.P Chris Cornell, you will never be forgotten ❤️
No one sings like you anymore Chris.
Downloaded it on Spotify a few weeks back.
chris was a tear in the space-time fabric of music
Tom Morello is the ultimate wordsmith. He could read the phone book and I’d be enthralled.
Tom is a national treasure. Howie recognizes this and did a good job pacing his questions and letting Tom talk. Great clip.
oh, and he plays guitar too
He talks A LOT tho. There's a lot of stuff they didn't cover. Even Robin said that at the end.
I really enjoyed this interview. Tom Morello is a great raconteur.
I can listen to Tom for hours. Such a great storyteller.
The best singer of my generation.
I lived in Seattle 93-96 & I’d see Chris all over the place. We had common friends & he was truly a beautiful soul. ☮️
Do you have any anecdote of/with Chris that you'd like to share?
Not just our generation.
“Let’s get the fuck outta here” had me rollin.
I'm glad Morello keeps bringing up his melody writing. Melody writing is probably the toughest part of a song, as there are a million different melodies you can come up with. And Chris chose the best
Never got to see Chris Cornell play live... Had a chance and didn't take it. I really regret it.
Saw them in Vancouver in the 90’s (Soundgarden) awesome show
12 shows and a meet and greet. I'm sad I missed his last show he did solo that was 3 miles away from my house😞

I met Tom Morello at Coachella 2007 and he was an absolute gentleman . Pure class
Loud Love literally changed my life. Chris was an icon. One in a million.
Will never get over Cornell's death. Such a loss.
Audioslave was such a cool rock band! The combo of Rage and Cornell was so epic!
the effect Rick Rubin has had on the history of music is mindboggling .... dude is like the God of everything that's good about the music industry
Thank you Tom for the gift of Audioslave. I think you really did help save that era, and I believe Velvet Revolver played a big part as well.
Tom is not only a revolutionary guitarist from one of my all time favorite bands, he is also a true genuine human and an AMAZING storyteller.
We all miss Chris. What a human!
I got to meet Tom at a small club in Cleveland years ago. He was so nice and genuine. He also laughed his ass off when I failed at a stage dive and floor bombed.
wow I had no idea that Chris Cornell live in ojai. i'm from ventura. fool was 15 minutes away from me.
Fantastic interview, Howard has a way making people feel comfortable & safe to discuss their careers & lives...
Chris was the best he could make any band come to the front Chris is in top 3 greatest singer/ song writer in rock history people like Chris only comes around every 50 years or so a rock n roll treasure

R.I.P Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, Scott Weiland all amazing !
Loved Audioslave
We miss you, Chris! One of the best vocalist of all time 👆🏻❤️
"Like our souls are in peril" That was hilarious :D
God is Tom Morrello articulate.
Harvard baby!
I’m not sure the majority is ever going to realize what we lost in 2017.
These men have been such heroes for me
Just another day of HS interviewing legends ❤️
Saw an early Soundgarden show at Illinois State U one night. Hate to say it but it left me with an awful foreboding feeling that took my joy away. They somehow blossomed. Audioslave and Pearl Jam members were the result. So glad it turned for the good.
I met Chris some years ago!! FKN AYE!🤟🏾🤙🏾✌🏾🙏🏾
Right before he started up with Audioslave, dude was cool and humble as fk.
Super story. 👌
Morello is a top man, as well as a top guitarist. 👨🏽🦲 🎸
To have worked with arguably 2 of the best front men & lyricists of the past 30 years and to have enhanced what they had... WOW. 😍
Thank you for both bands and the magic music that has helped be the backbone, and some of the soundtrack, to my/this
crazy life. 👍 👏 😜
R.I.P. > Chris. So lucky to have seen you play live 3 times in the UK. ❤️
No one sings like you anymore...🤘
Tom is a Top 5 guest. What a great storyteller and all around cool dude.
90s was the best for rock in my opinion
90's was great for the arts
Last time I saw Chris he was taking a whiz in the Paramount bathroom at a Dead Can Dance concert in Seattle mid 2000s.
What a band unrockinbelievable 🤟
Miss u chriss
WE LOVE YOU CHRIS✝️🙏😇 RIP you will live on through your great work and music! Say Hello To Heaven😇🌹🙏
Thx Tom
Legend
miss u chris! your my hero❤️
He could almost be talking about Layne from Alice in chains.
Most of my musical heroes are dead.
R.i.p Chris
Cornell is dearly missed!
and i continue to worship you just like you did cornell, damn, i miss audioslave and rage, i never seen either live ... oh and for all the people that call tom a fascist dick, this interview alone shows how smart and articulate he is.
Great Story
Soooo glad I saw the Temple of the Dog Tour and went to the Tribute concert.
Audioslave was so good,sad another album never got made,hopefully a b-sides & unreleased stuff gets released,R.I.P Chris cornell a singer who defined an entire generation & made some of the most memorable albums
I want that Chicago hat. It's the state of Illinois and that. Is where Chicago is so cool
We love u Chris 💙
RIP Chris, was lucky to see Soundgarden on Chris's birthday actually in lake tahoe years ago, what a show and what an angelic voice. I don't know what happens when you die, but if there is a Heaven, and I hope there is, Chris is definitely leading the choir of Angels.
Love it!!
RIP Chris....
Virgin eyes and dirty looks on
What I have and why I took
Counting all the hands I shook
Now I know why you've been shaking
now this is stuck in my head
NOW I KNOW WHY YOU'VE BEEN SHAKING
NOW I KNOW WHY YOU'VE BEEN SHAKING
Audioslave was the SH#!
Good story
Right on.
You should have Taylor Momsen on the show, Tom is on the Pretty Reckless’s new song and he sounds amazing
Tom hasn’t age in the past over the past 25 yrs.
Proud man crush
Tom morello sounds like a really cool easy going guy
Chris' singing was awesome although Zac moved you to a point where you wanted to overthrow the government
Tom “do you know who I am?” Morello
👍🏼❤️
i miss chris! slaves & bulldozers...my very favorite! love you tom!
👍👍👍
tom has agreat sense of humor! I have to say.
To me , superunknown riffs are better than badmotorfinger riffs. Badmotorfinger is also an amazing album dough
Trust me I’m a hard-core fan of Rage and Soundgarden, but I just couldn’t get into Audioslave that much. This is coming from someone that is super open minded with music.
🏆👈😁
Idiots here in Seattle defaced a statue to Chris but fans came to the rescue to fix it
Like a stone...
I wonder if Ethel or her grandson Rusty like Tom Morellos music.
I'm still kinda in denial that chris is gone..idk...I've heard the conspiracies and they sound more believable to me..at the same time..he was a creator of more darker somber music and did seem depressed
Why the hell did Rage even break up!
If you call yourself punk rock, you are not punk rock. RIP Chris
Damn, if #Chris even scared #RickRubin ... 😄
Nobody sings like him anymore...
Chris Cornell was supposed to be my next Ex😢
😲
LOL
He reminds me of Eric andre, sorry just saying
The devil or groupies? Nah. Rock of the "60's on", was a lot about "sex and drugs".
Howard is still alot of the same
Audioslave >>>>>>>>>>>>>> anything else ANY of the members has ever done
