Chris sets the bar so high ..its hard to compare him with anything. even on his worst day hes better than most vocalists. of course he was so dang cool, he would never admit it. this obviously is him at the top of his game. r.i.p
That's why when all the Layne fans say that Layne Staley was unequivocally the best singer of his generation, I like to remind people of Chris Cornell. Love Layne, too btw. The two were in a league all their own. With Scott Weiland close in tow.
So…I’m riding the bike at my gym. I find this video which I never saw before. Listening to this I nearly cried. Beatles to Chris, this song etc, Effing Amazing! We all miss Chris. Think about him often which brings a pang to my heart each and every time and carry on listening to this great man who will never ever be replaced. I know that all of you share my sentiments. What a pure beautiful genius he was.
Sean Ryan I definitely agree Sean. Vedder will always have a special place in my heart but for some reason lately I've been digging Cornell's stuff. I was always a big fan of Soundgarden anyway.
+joe leoni I think Cornells voice held up a little better than Eddies but only bc of the songs PJ put out at first like Alive and all those, he strained w/o thinking...they were just kids... and he put his voice and everything he had into each performance, they toured forever.. I feel bad for him in that way! I think hes still a damn good vocalist! Chris C voice got more down time and songs werent and hard on his vocal chords! Eddie was just like AAGHHHHHHH, lol, ( not being mean to either one, I love both of these guys)! Btw someone just took my It doesnt get EDDIE VEDDER than this shirt and im pissed : ÷/
I understand you're not being mean to either one, but I think Eddie Vedder's voice held up alot better than Chris's. In my opinion it's exactly the other way around. Don't forget this particular performance is 9 years ago, there's not much left of that 90s voice these days. He's still a great vocalist, but it's just alot diffrent and less intense.
Chris Cornell's music changed my life. I wouldn't be the musician I am today without his influence. I've enjoyed every album I've ever heard him on. RIP 🙏🕎☦️
What a beautiful man. Such a wonderful song writer and musician. It is so sad we lost him. I get so sad when I watch these videos. I hope he is at peace.
Andy Reinisch The thing is that I think his lyrics have always meant something he was personally reconciling. We're are always battling until we aren't, right? Almost all of his songs that weren't directly written about other people seem to be a notation on life in the balance or death. That's one of the many reasons his music has always been like a best friend to me. I've philosophized or battled with same ghosts. I'm getting his likeness on my arm in January because his music has spoken to me for 25 years and that's longer then most people.
This performance means so much to me. Back in 2011, this was the only version of the song I could get on the TH-cam app on my Nokia E71. I listened to it incessantly. I was convinced this song had the best vocal part ever. It shaped so much of my musical tastes as a 14-year-old boy. If we're a product of our environment, then Chris and his music helped shape who I am today. Thank you, Chris, as the third anniversary of your passing nears. Though you may be gone, your voice will remain as strong as it ever was, continuing to inspire.
Poor, beautiful Chris. I see the same sadness in his eyes here, as right before he died :( He was in a rough spot here. and got through it. And then he didn't... :( Thank you for all the music Chris. Thank you for being so amazing in every way
truly sad. He was married here, and I think both his daughters would've been born at this stage (assuming this is around 2007-8?)... so in 2017 he was still in the same situation... he had so much to live for - it just adds speculation that he didn't intend to do it. I can't watch the vids of their final performance, but apparently he was really 'off' in that show, something was definitely wrong with him that night.
@@GlennSyndallius yeah he was in the middle of a severe benzo addiction. Ive battled heroin and benzos both...benzos make you act on things you normally wouldnt do. I told my girlfriends dad he was a fuck ass and tried fighting him in the street over 2 ice cream sandwiches in a xanax blackout. Not even joking, though that specific reference is funny. As someone who also battles depression like Chris, the benzos work...make you loose and fearless...until they dont. Then your just numb and fearless, and in a depressive episode or a fit of anger you could definitely commit suicide or wakeup handcuffed to a hospital bed. It happens alot sadly...but like opiates, the doctors are pulling millions of ppls prescriptions to them...which wont help the problem because that just creates a market for dealers to make their own with a pill press. You can also die from withdrawling from them. Fuck Ativan, Xanax, Klonopin and Valium. They bandaid the problem until its too late...just like opiates.
@@nothx962 hmmmm, but did he really have enough in his system for such a fatal decision?. And if he was into the benzos, surely his threshold would have been much higher. Sometimes even those closest to us have absolutely no idea of what is going on in our heads. My thoughts are having struggled with various addictions he possibly thought he could never beat it and so...Having parents who were alcoholics wouldn't have helped. Nature or nurture..we will never know
You never know what you have till its gone! Always was a Soundgarden fan, Audioslave and on his own but I never realized just how great he was! Black days 💔
Omg this is so amazing.Every time I think I could not possibly love and worship this man more, I find another even more beautiful version of one of my favorite songs. he is THE GREATEST!!
We definitely all do!😢 my brother has been gone 3 yrs. N he LOVED Chris Cornell. I remember him calling me in tears when he cut his hair! Lol We, as sure as you all, was devestated hearing he was gone.Never thought hed be in that group. RIP always ❤
As if I had the time - and I don't - I find myself watching this every few days. I don't know what it is: Perhaps it's a longing for rock as it was until the early to mid-90s. I'm a child of the 60s and 70s, and the 80s, for the most part, was a lost decade. The bands that emerged in the early 90s resurrected - for me - a sound I'd been longing for. Now, on the verge of 2011, I wonder...are we just left with memories?
This is my absolute song. I saw him live once and was disappointed he didn't play it. This is the second time I've heard a live performance of it. They are very different, the live and studio versions. I believe I get a different sort of enjoyment out of both. :O
That's cause he blew his voice out and needed surgery to fix it. Which is why his voice was much deeper and went straight to distortion when he tried to hit any of his upper register. Right before he joined Audioslave he had to relearn how to sing because he couldn't belt anymore
I saw him live in Winnipeg. I always loved Soungarden but I have to say, I didn't expect the show he put on. He was fucken awesome!! A true artist. A must see live.
chris es el mejor vocalista de todos los tiempos!! y de mas q lo vamos a ver el 10 a espacio riesco... aaahaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! THE BEST!!
He had such a beautiful awesome voice. There was nothing he couldn’t sing. Whether it was his song or someone else. He was absolutely beautiful inside and out. Forever in our hearts ♥️R.I.P. Beautiful Keeper 🙏🏽🕊 Thank you for sharing this beautiful video and keeping Chris memory alive. God Bless 🙏🏽
So very true Jennifer there will never be another beautiful voice like Chris again. I listen to him last night and couldn’t stop crying. I was thinking about his children. Watched Bad Can Do Good and Christopher looks just like Chris. He’ll always be with us through his music and children. That’s a lot of comfort ♥️🌹♥️
Jennifer Hartranft God Bless Jennifer and it’s hard. My sister is the same way she can’t listen to him right now. Pray you soon will. Take care Jennifer it was nice talking to you 🙏🏽♥️🌹♥️🥰
Hey ! I like the voice he got now!! I'm from is prime time, i back in the late 80's and 90's area,. Altough you are still a great singer and a great influence for people!! Thanks Chris!!
The stage presence.
The charisma.
The voice.
Legend.
So well said!❤❤❤
And I am still watching in 2024
I've been listening to Cornell for almost twenty years. His voice still gives me chills every time I hear it.
mugflub same here he’s the goat
Well maybe not every time haha but more than any other singer out there for sure. At least for me
Always has me, too
Totally agree. He’s the best Stunning talent.
Now I cry every time I hear his voice...😿🌼
Chris sets the bar so high ..its hard to compare him with anything. even on his worst day hes better than most vocalists. of course he was so dang cool, he would never admit it. this obviously is him at the top of his game. r.i.p
That's where I aim.
Singing along with him.
I often fail
Brilliantly put
That's why when all the Layne fans say that Layne Staley was unequivocally the best singer of his generation, I like to remind people of Chris Cornell. Love Layne, too btw. The two were in a league all their own. With Scott Weiland close in tow.
Why compare unique people with other unique peoples? You need Celine Dion in your life
Yep you ain’t wrong my friend
So…I’m riding the bike at my gym. I find this video which I never saw before. Listening to this I nearly cried. Beatles to Chris, this song etc, Effing Amazing! We all miss Chris.

What a pure beautiful genius he was.
Loving all the comments here ❤ This guy has moved hearts and touched souls. Phantastic, so happy to hear his music 😊
His voice has held up even after over 25 years...one of the best voices of all time...him and Eddie
Sean Ryan I definitely agree Sean. Vedder will always have a special place in my heart but for some reason lately I've been digging Cornell's stuff. I was always a big fan of Soundgarden anyway.

Eddie's voice gave me life during a time when all I wanted to do was die...
Shanda Renee Wow that's touching. There's definitely a positivity with music. I would go as far as even saying hope coincides with it too.
Chris Cornell's music changed my life. I wouldn't be the musician I am today without his influence. I've enjoyed every album I've ever heard him on. RIP 🙏🕎☦️
I can listen to this man all night (and day)..
4 years today gone, never forgotten.
2021. Chris could cover anybody. But no one can cover him.
What a beautiful man. Such a wonderful song writer and musician. It is so sad we lost him. I get so sad when I watch these videos. I hope he is at peace.
Holy Cr*p...where's the " I f*ckin LOVE this" button?????
Located right here
That's what live sounds like. No backing tracks, pure raw talent.
Nearly in tears watching this!
Its so sad my dude,rip Chris
Chris cornel is the god of music.
Wow! Chris had such an amazing voice live . In my opinion he was and will always be the GOAT.
"Would you cry for me?". Indeed, Christopher; very often... ❤❤❤❤
Chris was referring to Jesus
The nails impaled in Jesus hands was the burden in his hands, would you cry for me (marry did)
Every time I hear you sing I tear up
Same here 🤍
He simply was the coolest, kindest, most humble, most majestic man I've ever encountered! What a loss. Forever missed.
Did anyone take a closer look at the bass lines in this song? HOLY FUCK!!!
How has it been two years?
My goodness, I miss this guy and his music..
the voice of rock
RIP, your music will be heard for a long time
Damn! I miss this voice!
crazy how these lyrics mean something so much different now

yes true...
Not really
RIP Chris. I wish you could have seen yourself as we all did. Miss your voice. Rock on high !

Provided by white collared Drug Dealers they are no better then Street Dealers RIP Chris gone way too soon pray for his family
god dammit what a level!, by far one of the best vocalists ever! 🔥
This for me is his best performance of this song.
I've been listening to him For 25 yrs the best ever!! I hope you're at peace now Chris.
You never know what you have till its gone! Always was a Soundgarden fan, Audioslave and on his own but I never realized just how great he was! Black days 💔
Absolutely EPIC.. Chris Cornell at his absolute best.. Top 100 rock songs of all time for sure..
Ryan Geddes correction: top 1
Omg this is so amazing.Every time I think I could not possibly love and worship this man more, I find another even more beautiful version of one of my favorite songs. he is THE GREATEST!!
I'm going through exactly what this lyrics are talking about. I lost my head again. RIP Chris. I got to see you at the Temple of the Dog Tour 2016.
The greatest voice in rock.
He was sick here and STILL sounded amazing, even at 60% he was light years ahead of most singers.....
Absolute class, this man's voice is just indescribable..thanks for posting massive thumbs up!
Yes i will cry for you ....
We definitely all do!😢 my brother has been gone 3 yrs. N he LOVED Chris Cornell. I remember him calling me in tears when he cut his hair! Lol
We, as sure as you all, was devestated hearing he was gone.Never thought hed be in that group. RIP always ❤
Here we all are, near the end of 2021, suffering with your ghost.
Miss you Chris
Almost 30 years of your beautiful ass kickin music and now it hurts to hear and miss the greatness all at once Thank you Chris RIP!
One of the most amazing voices ever.

You will be tremendously missed. My you now rest in peace.
You will forever be missed, Chris. Legends do live forever. #RIPChrisCornell
Aiy love the song forever 😞😞😞
Major props towards MSN for constructing this. The camera shots are great as is the sound.
I love how he's just strolling around like he can do this in his sleep. Great singer!
As if I had the time - and I don't - I find myself watching this every few days. I don't know what it is: Perhaps it's a longing for rock as it was until the early to mid-90s.

ikr?
Love that man and miss him!!!!
God bless you Chris
This is my absolute song. I saw him live once and was disappointed he didn't play it. This is the second time I've heard a live performance of it. They are very different, the live and studio versions. I believe I get a different sort of enjoyment out of both. :O
God damn, his technique is Soo much more relaxed here vs when he was younger. Amazing.
That's cause he blew his voice out and needed surgery to fix it. Which is why his voice was much deeper and went straight to distortion when he tried to hit any of his upper register. Right before he joined Audioslave he had to relearn how to sing because he couldn't belt anymore
RIP Legend. You are missed
I saw him live in Winnipeg. I always loved Soungarden but I have to say, I didn't expect the show he put on. He was fucken awesome!! A true artist. A must see live.
MSN and Chris Cornell. Well, feeling old
RIP what a talent
Yes Chris, we cried for you. Nearly every time I listen to this version. RIP legend.
He sings like an angel for real even live!
chris es el mejor vocalista de todos los tiempos!! y de mas q lo vamos a ver el 10 a espacio riesco... aaahaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
THE BEST!!
Only 2 who move me to tears, him and Jeff Buckley. Grace would be on par with this genius song..RIP Chris and Jeff
i will always imagine a dude running alone with his guitar in the desert when i hear this song LOL. Great song and great video hehe :D
The guy sing's like he did in the early 90's. That's just amazing. Awesome concert!
This is the best live version of this song I've ever heard...
It's almost just as powerful as the studio version.
chriss tha man
this band was badass... thanks my beloved Chris, for everything
Maybe the best rock vocalist of all time. RIP my brother. May the next life treat you kinder.
Dio, Steve Perry and Freddie Mercury, Top 3 bests rock vocalist off all time.
I’m the biggest fan! Honestly Layne Staley! 2 of the greatest vocalists of all time! RIP to you both!
