Sorry for you Brad but Lex is a rocker, a metalhead, a headbanger, a riff freak. She's one of us, it's running through her veins, she will need her dose of hard sounds every day! You're not alone Lex we are legion.😎
He had one of the most recognizable voices, but also one of the most diverse sounds. His range was extreme, his lyrics were deep, his sound was eclectic, his look was HOT and, sadly, his life was way too short. Listen to him solo and definitely in Temple of the Dog!
Am I the only one that simultaneously feels devastated that brad is next to her refusing to her blossom. Zero expression or reaction to her beautiful moments. If I were sitting next to her, I’d catch her energy quicker than covid or the flu. He’s literally REFUSING
Isn’t it ! I love it . Kind of jealous lol; not new to any of these artists or bands. I miss Chris SO much. I showed Euphoria Morning to my first girlfriend when it literally first came out. I was like, you have to hear this! I was deeply upset & on Holiday the day he died.
i’ve never heard that………how sad. he was such a beautiful soul, i’m so sorry for him for feeling so lost and alone. if only he’d known how incredibly loved he was.
I think Chris wasn't being honest. If you really listen to the words. He is referring to waiting for god. Like a Stone is a scripture in the bible where Jesus says he will be the stone where his church will be built on. The house with many rooms are mansions.Which he built for us. He speaks about a book he read, what book? He says blood to wine, heaven, angels. And says the patience of god to wait for us to find him. Either Chris wasn't honest or he just wanted ppl to read the words and find out for themselves
I'd never seen rather Chris said that or not, but that is how I've always felt about this song. He's thinking about killing himself while he's sitting in a motel room, and starts reading the motel bible while trying to decide what to do. He finally decides that for now he'll try to patiently wait for death like a stone. If you've ever been in that same kind of place and had to go through that same kind of thought process just to hang on for one more day, this song gives you a gut punch every time.
@@themourningstar338 why is it that all these famous ppl are having mental break downs and suicidal? there is more going on behind the scenes that is being shown to the general public. AND these famous ppl have to keep it quit. They put there loved ones in danger if they say to much or themselves. Most ppl don't put it togther that best friends Chris and the lead singer of Linkin Park both offed themselves weeks apart in the same manner. This doesnt raise a red flag with most? wonder why
@@NoKingsNoGodsOnlyMan Signs like being medicated for depression his entire adult life? And his bodyguard giving him too much of that medication? Who benefits from Chris' death?
Chris and Chester Bennington were murdered. They didnt kill themselves. They were good friends and kill themselves a few months apart? They both were involved in an organizan that worked against human trafficking, from what i understand.
"Sometimes Chris Cornell would sing a note that didn't exist. He would sing a note between two real notes... and open a portal to another dimension." -Jack Black
Dude, WHEN did Jack say that? That is so awesome. Was it in like an interview or maybe a live gig? I love when artists talk about those few fellow artists who everyone knows are/were the elite of the elite.
Absolutely adored Cornell. Remember just spacing out to Room 1000 Years Wide on repeat as a kid. And I LOVED his James Bond song from Casino Royale. Was so gutted when he died. A true songbird.
I need Lex to describe everything for me, because how her brain works is amazing. I could tell Brad was getting into this one more which was fun to see. I know rock isn't really his cup of tea, but it's such a diverse genre that there is something for everyone. Finally, I loved learning that her soul has always been rocker before she even knew she liked rock music. Just shows the soul is older than the mind.
YES! His voice is an instrument. I feel exactly the same way when I hear him. Like he’s a singing guitar or something. Just fits perfectly with every song he does.
Chris used off-key and minor notes in such a manner that it would compliment the song and give it sort of an otherworldly vibe. He was def. one of a kind. You guys should check out "My Wave' or 'Burden in My Hand,' from Soundgarden. My top two SG tunes. The latter was one of their hits.
That's got to be hard man. Pain I'd never wish on anyone. But you just gotta keep living and cherish every memory of her and I believe with everything I am you will see her again. She's waiting for you on the other side.
We all love the way Lex gets into the groove! She seems to be having so much fun! I love how Brad just chills-out. He seems to be "listening" more as opposed to "hearing". I love watching both of your reactions in your videos.
Lex's reaction to that guitar solo. I fell in love with her. The first time I heard this song "Cochise" was the single and they were touring on the album before it even came out so Cochise was all anybody in the audience had heard. I heard this song the first time live and I was right near the stage. They played the whole first album and when they did this song, in particular that solo, that's how I was and felt. I can remember being as close as 20 feet from Tom Morello playing that solo. I'll never forget it. It sent goosebumps everywhere.
I am loving watching Lex discover grunge. She vibes so hard.... It is music that speaks to your soul and it's amazing watching younger generation fall in love with the music I love.
Temple of the Dog wasn't a side group. It was a super group made up of Seattle bands to raise money for the family of Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone who died of a heroin overdose. Eddie Vedder sang on it and would later form Pearl Jam with the surviving members of Mother Love Bone. Chris Cornell would go on to form Audioslave with the surviving members of Rage Against the Machine after the breakup of Soundgarden.
His voice had pain, rasp, angst & emotion and all of that was poured into every song he sung, he connected with a song so much so that artists said if he covered their song that song became his. He was amazing & sorely missed.
I love how happy she gets! Lol It brightens my day. Great video guys. I've always love this song. The meaning is very heavy. Especially hearing it coming from him.
I wish everybody enjoyed music like our girl Lex. Everyone deserves to find something in their life to make you feel so good and so passionately that you can't help but move your body. Something that touches your soul. Lex, don't ever change love, you are such a beautiful woman and seeing you get excited gets me excited, it's the way I feel when I find food for the spirit through music and lyrics. God Bless you guys 😊💜
Chris is my favorite. You haven’t even touched on his vocal abilities yet! Here r some that really showcase his voice and will give you chills: When I’m Down live at the Troubadour (solo-my fave live performance of anyone EVER) Seasons Studio Jam version (solo-really showcases his falsetto) Billie Jean (MJ cover) live at MSN Hunger Strike official video (Temple of the Dog-1 album tribute project Chris did. On this song Eddie Vedder sings with Chris before Pearl Jam was big) Fell on Black Days and The Day I tried to Live (both Soundgarden) I don’t think you’ve done one of Audioslaves biggest songs..I am the Highway 🙂❤️🙂💗
WOW!! You nailed it Lex!! Chris' voice was and instrument and was something special... as far as the lyrics.... I saw and interview with Chris (he was in his home) with a radio station and fans were writing in with questions someone asked him the meaning of this song.... he said he wrote it about the contemplation over his own spirituality.... EXAMPLE: 1)"In a room full of emptiness, by a freeway" = what's on the side of every major freeway/highway? Motels.... 2) "I was lost in the pages of a book full of death" = what's in every motel room? A Bible.... (which is technically full of death) 3) "Reading how we'll die alone and if we're good, we'll lay to rest anywhere we want to go" and "On my deathbed, I will pray to the God's and the angels, like a Pagan... to anyone who will take me to Heaven" = the contemplation over his beliefs... Just my thoughts on some of the lyrics We all know Chris was "deep" (for lack of a better term).... He had SO much to say in his life! To further see his greatness and maybe give us another take on his lyrics (of the same theme) check out "SAY HELLO TO HEAVEN" Chris in Temple Of The Dog (Tribute/letter to his friend and roommate Andrew Wood lead singer of Mother Love Bone) "I AM THE HIGHWAY" Chris with Audioslave RIP Andrew Wood, Kurt Cobain, Chris Cornell and Layne Staley.... thanks for the music boys!
It's the sort of super group that was always good in theory but, before it happened, there was no way to predict what sound they'd settle on. Would it be Rage with Cornell singing? Obviously, shit turned out dope as hell.
Yeah, it gave the members of Rage (absent Zach of course) a chance to show their true range. That was something they couldn't really do too much in Rage.
I hate when the thought enters my mind way to often that I'll never hear another new song with Layne, Chris, Chester and so many others touching my soul with their voice. I am also so grateful that from the first second I heard them I fully appreciated their inhuman ability. They will be missed but never forgotten and it warms my heart to see Lex discovering them. I see in Lex's reactions exactly how I felt when I first heard them.
Love it! Love that Lex now considers Chris to be one of her favorite voices (he’s no question mine) and that Brad was right there with her. Chris Cornell’s voice is supernatural/metaphysical, on a different plane of existence. When he performs, it’s not a “drug haze” or an affectation/persona, he’s tapping into and channeling some divine, cosmic harmony and sharing it with us; it’s angelic is what it is. RIP Chris, I truly miss your sound.
Lex, you are so darn adorable, I feel you on your reaction to this song. Chris’ voice is definitely an instrument and so pleasing to the ears 🙋🏻♀️👏🏼👍🏼🙌🏼💜🇨🇦
So much fun loved watching your reaction she had so much fun. I really loved to see her really enjoy it. Hes talking about going to heaven. He longs to be in gods house he will wait in his house alone waiting patiently.
"Slaves & bulldozers" off their album Bad motor finger is a must hear to really appreciate the range and power of Chris Cornells voice. Trust me,you won't be disappointed!! Btw..love your reactions. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
everything cornell did, soundgarden, temple of the dog, audioslave, they were all a part of me through the years. literal tears well up inside me when i hear any of his songs now, since he passed.
Some songs to react to: Soundgarden "Fell on Black Days" Pearl Jam "Black" Tool "Sober" A Perfect Cirlce "The Package" Rolling Stones "Paint It Black" Ghost "Square Hammer" and "Cirice" Iron Maiden "Hollowed be thy Name", "The Trooper" Led Zeppelin "Stairway to Heaven", "Immigrant Song", "Kashmir" Dio "Holy Diver", "Rainbow in the Dark" Black label Society "Bleed For Me" Kyuss "Deamon Cleaner" Queens of the Stone Age "The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret", "3's & 7's", "Go With the Flow" Rise Against "Prayer of the Refugee", "Dancing For Rain"
My only amendments would be 1. cradle of filth's version of hallowed be thy name. And 2. The addition of "feel good hit of the summer" by queens of the stone age.
Chris Cornell had the most amazing vocal range and it shows in this song. He was really in tune with his voice and he played it like a fine instrument!check out his lyrics on this one. Their so deep!
He has been one of my all-time favorites since the early 90s he can sing anything heavy mellow heartwarming and you look very beautiful man I seen him in Council Bluffs Iowa Two weeks before he decided to leave us he will never be forgotten true legend depression is very serious he hid it well Behind his music sad story
Everyone in any rage against the machine or audioslave song song has huge praise for Zakk or Chris Cornell, or Tom morello (which is totally understandable) but brad and Tim are always holding the vibe of the song, letting Tom or the respective singers shine in their own right. Always felt like they are one of the most in sync drum and bass combos in rock history (regardless of their understated nature)
The more I hear this song, and I mean every time I hear it, I realize how perfect and amazing it is. It literally has everything at an extremely high level. Lyrics.... Check, incredible vocal melody and performance... Check, brilliant guitar performance and tones.... Check, super groovy baseline... Yup, phenomenal sounding drums... Definitely. The chord progressions are amazing and work so perfectly with his melody too. Literally perfect song.
I came across your channel yestersay and watched several of your reactions now. Especially Lex her breakdowns are amazing, sometimes even poetic. Keep up the good work :)!
5:15 The magic of Tom Morello, who was originally with Rage Against the Machine. Actually, Audioslave is essentially Rage Against the Machine + Chris Cornell - Zac de la Rocha.
Oh my dude definitely not an act! There is a passion that comes from the soul that very few have when they sing (Aretha, Adele,Mariah,Joe Cocker,Layne) Chris Cornell embodies that That is what you see in his eyes...his soul man not a drug haze
I think I finally understand why I enjoy watching Brad and Lex listen to the songs that I hold dear. Watching them discover the powerful lyrics and soul touching sounds brings me as close as I can ever get to reliving the moment I discovered them. Yes, Chris Cornell was a phenomenal instrument and I feel privileged to have had the joy of hearing it. That rift touches me in the same way.
I saw him do a like 3 hour acoustic set at the Bena-Roya Hall in Seattle right before he passed. So honored to have been there and experience this mans GENIUS in such an intimate setting. Honest;y makes me cry sometimes.
Chris Cornell was a master at emoting pure emotion through his tone and timber. I am fairly certain he could have hummed his vocals with no lyrics and you would still receive the meaning of the song
Ok guys, if you guys really want to get a really real listen to Chris Cornell's awsome vocal range. Plz try sampling SAY HELLO TO HEAVEN in another rock group he fronts. The groups name is Temple Of The Dog. Sit back and turn y'alls headphones up and enjoy this masterpiece!
Chris Cornell was an absolutely beautiful soul. I am so glad i was raised on his music so i did not miss out. His voice is incredible, and the emotion he evokes is unmatched.
Sorry for you Brad but Lex is a rocker, a metalhead, a headbanger, a riff freak. She's one of us, it's running through her veins, she will need her dose of hard sounds every day! You're not alone Lex we are legion.😎
yup...they should attend Ozzfest if/when it comes back.
cringe
Once you go Metal......., well you know the rest.
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!!
My man get the sobriety of the song...
"Chris Cornell might be one of my favorite artists, ever" * *IMMEDIATE THUMBS UP* * Lex gets it!
Yes!!!❤❤❤
He had one of the most recognizable voices, but also one of the most diverse sounds. His range was extreme, his lyrics were deep, his sound was eclectic, his look was HOT and, sadly, his life was way too short.
Listen to him solo and definitely in Temple of the Dog!
This doesn’t prove that she gets it, what proves it is her saying “his voice is like an instrument”…yes.
Atleast vocally... still gave you a like
He’s in my top 5 all time.
He meant/means so much to me.
There is something wonderful watching Lex on her journey and discovery. Pure, innocent, and joyful.
It really is a great joy to watch her react. It brings me back to my adolescence, before I hit my cynical bitter stage.
Lex is a true rocker.

I miss Chris SO much.
I showed Euphoria Morning to my first girlfriend when it literally first came out.
I was like, you have to hear this!
I was deeply upset & on Holiday the day he died.
The other guys in the band asked Chris "Who are you waiting for?" when he showed them the song. He said "Death" Heartbreaking.
i’ve never heard that………how sad.

I LOVE seeing Brad sitting there deep listening and concentrating and Lex is just going crazy, happy as ever. 😂👍
I love how she reacts, enjoys, and gets into the music
She described his voice as an instrument. Holy shit thats the greatest comparison ever!! I just discovered this channel and Holy shit
Lex rocks out like nothing I’ve seen before, and I love it.
When Chris passed away in my hometown of Detroit, I was depressed and sad for weeks! RIP Chris, I'm still missing your powerful voice!
YES! His voice is an instrument. I feel exactly the same way when I hear him. Like he’s a singing guitar or something. Just fits perfectly with every song he does.
Yeah watching lex reminds me of when I heard it the first time. Just fell in love with the sound.
Chris used off-key and minor notes in such a manner that it would compliment the song and give it sort of an otherworldly vibe. He was def. one of a kind. You guys should check out "My Wave' or 'Burden in My Hand,' from Soundgarden. My top two SG tunes. The latter was one of their hits.

U guys HAVE to check out Chris Cornell's cover of Nothing Compares To You, it will blow you away!
Fell on Black Days from the same set is incredible too.
Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart from those sessions is amazing too.
I am loving watching Lex discover grunge. She vibes so hard.... It is music that speaks to your soul and it's amazing watching younger generation fall in love with the music I love.
Check out Chris’s side group Temple of the Dog and their song “Say Hello 2 Heaven”. Really speaks to Chris Cornell’s insane range
Hunger strike from them
Say hello to heaven is my favorite performance by him out everything he’s done. The old, live MSN version, specifically.
Temple of the Dog wasn't a side group. It was a super group made up of Seattle bands to raise money for the family of Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone who died of a heroin overdose. Eddie Vedder sang on it and would later form Pearl Jam with the surviving members of Mother Love Bone. Chris Cornell would go on to form Audioslave with the surviving members of Rage Against the Machine after the breakup of Soundgarden.

Chris Cornell’s performance of “Nothing Compares 2U” is perfection.
Also, if you were into Trans-Siberian Orchestra, you should try some Nightwish.
Lex is that friend I needed growing up listening to this lol.
I love how happy she gets! Lol It brightens my day. Great video guys. I've always love this song. The meaning is very heavy. Especially hearing it coming from him.

Chris Cornell in my opinion had the greatest voice I've ever heard 🎼🎵🎼
Chris Cornell, Sebastian Bach, Layne Staley, Freddie Mercury, Robert Plant, Rob Halford are the top.... off the top of my head.
Layne Staley is my personal favorite along with Chris Cornell. Neither can be matched in my opinion.

Chris definitely drew his artistry from another plane of existence I feel and he brought us in to experience it with him.
I can never hear this song too many times. Powerfully moving. Lex nailed it with “ his voice is an instrument “.
You guys would also enjoy Shinedown. Brent Smith is another top notch voice in rock today.
So much joy on a song about sitting and waiting for death…
I love this song. How much great music was just on tap in our era. Didn’t appreciate how rich the moment was

Love how Brad stays so calm during these rock reactions, haha.
Yes. His voice is literally a instrument. He had total control of his voice box.
We all have the same instrument but few have the control.
Lex has good taste in music for real, and then brads ability to break down the lyrics. Love yall
Love watching anyone appreciate Chris, the mans voice is an auditory delight, these guys make some great observations on tunes I’ve loved forever
"Slaves & bulldozers" off their album Bad motor finger is a must hear to really appreciate the range and power of Chris Cornells voice. Trust me,you won't be disappointed!! Btw..love your reactions. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
You guys are so chill its good to hear some people who are down to earth like you guys I mean this it's true I can tell music will heal the world
I thought he was the best modern day vocalist or possibly of all time way back when he sang in Soundgarden
Chris was a once in a lifetime talent. RIP. But thank y'all for your amazing reaction yet again!
I am loving his non reaction against her full on reaction
Love you two Brad always analysis the lyrics and Lex always feels the music. Great reactions!!
Please check out "Shadow on the Sun." That's a massive song.
Absolutely epic song it’s huge ✊🏼
That one takes your BODY and ears and brain on an epic journey. My spine can't handle it.
Yes. This song is epic
everything cornell did, soundgarden, temple of the dog, audioslave, they were all a part of me through the years. literal tears well up inside me when i hear any of his songs now, since he passed.
Some songs to react to:
Soundgarden "Fell on Black Days"
Pearl Jam "Black"
Tool "Sober"
A Perfect Cirlce "The Package"
Rolling Stones "Paint It Black"
Ghost "Square Hammer" and "Cirice"
Iron Maiden "Hollowed be thy Name", "The Trooper"
Led Zeppelin "Stairway to Heaven", "Immigrant Song", "Kashmir"
Dio "Holy Diver", "Rainbow in the Dark"
Black label Society "Bleed For Me"
Kyuss "Deamon Cleaner"
Queens of the Stone Age "The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret", "3's & 7's", "Go With the Flow"
Rise Against "Prayer of the Refugee", "Dancing For Rain"
My only amendments would be 1. cradle of filth's version of hallowed be thy name. And 2. The addition of "feel good hit of the summer" by queens of the stone age.
Stone Temple Pilots- Plush
🙌🙌🙌 his voice is like no other…true artist lyricist…such talent I’m glad I got to see him live but damn wish his light would still shine
Lex has great taste. I've always loved his voice.
He was a magical singer. Lex is so dang cute listening to music. Just diving on in and letting it take over
Chris Cornell had the most amazing vocal range and it shows in this song. He was really in tune with his voice and he played it like a fine instrument!check out his lyrics on this one. Their so deep!
He has been one of my all-time favorites since the early 90s he can sing anything heavy mellow heartwarming and you look very beautiful man I seen him in Council Bluffs Iowa Two weeks before he decided to leave us he will never be forgotten true legend depression is very serious he hid it well Behind his music sad story
Everyone in any rage against the machine or audioslave song song has huge praise for Zakk or Chris Cornell, or Tom morello (which is totally understandable) but brad and Tim are always holding the vibe of the song, letting Tom or the respective singers shine in their own right. Always felt like they are one of the most in sync drum and bass combos in rock history (regardless of their understated nature)
Im loving the journey of this 2 discovering a new music genre, amazing guys
The more I hear this song, and I mean every time I hear it, I realize how perfect and amazing it is. It literally has everything at an extremely high level. Lyrics.... Check, incredible vocal melody and performance... Check, brilliant guitar performance and tones.... Check, super groovy baseline... Yup, phenomenal sounding drums... Definitely. The chord progressions are amazing and work so perfectly with his melody too. Literally perfect song.
I came across your channel yestersay and watched several of your reactions now. Especially Lex her breakdowns are amazing, sometimes even poetic. Keep up the good work :)!
We lost such a Talent when we lost Chris, may he rest in peace. React to Cochise it is 🔥 .
I love these guys I like Brad's laid-back intellectualism and lex wild-eyed child-like enthusiasm absorbing something new without judging it
Yall should check out the guitarist Tom Morelo's other band . RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE !! 🤘✌
5:15 The magic of Tom Morello, who was originally with Rage Against the Machine. Actually, Audioslave is essentially Rage Against the Machine + Chris Cornell - Zac de la Rocha.
Chris had arguably the greatest voice of any genre in my generation
The greatest voice of our generation !!! ....a song about sadness and preparing to dying alone....like a stone.
Oh my dude definitely not an act!
There is a passion that comes from the soul that very few have when they sing
(Aretha, Adele,Mariah,Joe Cocker,Layne)
Chris Cornell embodies that
That is what you see in his eyes...his soul man
not a drug haze
I think I finally understand why I enjoy watching Brad and Lex listen to the songs that I hold dear. Watching them discover the powerful lyrics and soul touching sounds brings me as close as I can ever get to reliving the moment I discovered them.
Yes, Chris Cornell was a phenomenal instrument and I feel privileged to have had the joy of hearing it.
That rift touches me in the same way.
Watch his acoustic cover of “Billie Jean” or the studio version of “Say Hello to Heaven”.
One of the best voices that graced our ears.. ever.. Rest in Peace Chris... His voice was his instrument..
Gotta react to Audioslave songs what you are, Shadow on the Sun, I am the highway, and Getaway Car!!!
I saw him do a like 3 hour acoustic set at the Bena-Roya Hall in Seattle right before he passed. So honored to have been there and experience this mans GENIUS in such an intimate setting. Honest;y makes me cry sometimes.
Chris Cornell was a master at emoting pure emotion through his tone and timber. I am fairly certain he could have hummed his vocals with no lyrics and you would still receive the meaning of the song
one of the best voices ever
Ok guys, if you guys really want to get a really real listen to Chris Cornell's awsome vocal range. Plz try sampling
SAY HELLO TO HEAVEN
in another rock group he fronts. The groups name is Temple Of The Dog. Sit back and turn y'alls headphones up and enjoy this masterpiece!
I freaking LOVE the bass in this song, especially in the musical interlude, where it goes an octave lower on alternating measures on the minor note.
You guys should check out Temple of the Dog. It was a collaboration between Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam.
Chris Cornell was an absolutely beautiful soul. I am so glad i was raised on his music so i did not miss out. His voice is incredible, and the emotion he evokes is unmatched.
Have you done Chris Cornell's live cover of "Nothing Compares to you"(Live @ Sirius XM) or his cover of Michael Jacksons "Billie Jean"? Amazing
You blew my mind. I could never describe just how powerful his voice was. Perfect description.
