They litterally sound like they have just gone out and picked a new sound from their garden every song they create. 'Beyond the wheel' has is another great example of cornells range.
Something I've noticed over the years. Chris Cornell really loved writing lyrics where he would explain one thing, then compare it to, or do the opposite. Like in this song, Everything I've held is what I've freed, Buying lies and stealing jokes, there's many examples in just this song. In fell on black days, he says, " What you wanted to be yours, has made it mine""Don't you lock up something, that you wanted to see fly. I would even consider pretty noose as being a play off of taking something like a noose which has negative connotations, and applying a positive adjective to it. It really is a grand thematic to Soundgarden as a whole. I say this is my favorite band confidently.
That first Audioslave album was a masterpiece. But vocally the Audioslave era was the weakest of Cornell’s career. That was when he was still smoking and boozing and when he was getting old enough that it mattered
This is all Chris showing us just how ridiculous his voice was. Saw him perform this live several times in the early 90s…unbelievable. RIP Chris, you are missed but not forgotten.
Why, that's quite a reaction there! One of the best reaction to Slaves I've seen so far! And to think we could have another Soundgarden member capable of doing Cornell-like magic with his voice, lol, that's really creative! No, it is just Chris, though it sounded like some 4 Chrises here! Oh, I miss my Mighty Soundgarden.... Peace and long life.
Dude yes this is all Chris singing and this song is huge to fans! And yes best singer of all time! Agree with the other’s recommendations! Beyond the wheel up next❤😊
Great reaction as always. I gotta agree that 'Beyond the Wheel' is another to show off Chris' voice. If you wanna hear how diverse they are, try '4th of July'. Pure SLUDGE, in an awesome way.
This....the album is by far the most under rated of the grunge era. The poetry, the vocals, the noisy guitars and fucked up tunings. Mind Riot guitars are literally tuned where all strings are the E note. I whole-heartedly agree. all killer and no filler. I literally can't pick a favorite track. I like their earlier efforts, Louder Than Love as well as Superunknown and all of Chris's solo stuff. However, Badmotorfinger is the high watermark. Also check out Temple of the Dog (its my 2nd favorite Cornell album) and his cameo on the Alice in Chains tune Right Turn (on the SAP EP). The outro on that song has Layne, Chris, Lanegan (Screaming Trees) and Mark Arm (Mud Honey) and it gives me the chills every time I hear it.
This was the Chris Cornell we all knew in the early days from Temple of the Dog and Soundgarden. Nothing but grunge, yet a few tempters of him singing ballads. Soundgarden fans knew what was coming but it took a change in genres to reveal his brilliance to a wider audience, and that happened when Chris first went solo. Of course, those of us who loved his grunge voice first, we get the best of both worlds...it is all upside for us.
Besides the other (great) recommendations from your other Soundgarden fanatics, to dive deeper in Chris’s incredible talent, I recommend listening to The Day I Tried To Live, Limo Wreck, Never The Machine Forever and New Damage 😎🤘
Go listen to “Beyond the Wheel.” Then “Loud Love.” You’ll think it’s all guitar at the beginning of “Loud Love” but it’s not. It’s actually Chris then the guitar comes in.
The dude that produced Superunknown said he walked from the desk into the airlock between the recording space and the glass on the door was bulging out because Chris was changing the air pressure in the room! 😂
o_O Cornell absolutely *is* in the conversation for best rock voice!! ;) Nobody else gives me goosebumps like Cornell. The quality songwriting on top of the vocals makes him extra special imho. Kim Thayil doesn't get enough appreciation for the truly unique sh!t he comes up with on guitar btw - he may be a big Zep fan, but what he creates himself is beyond the high-gain blues-based thing of those big bands. It's not for everyone, but it's undeniably unique & I love him for it! Always nice to see someone appreciate some 'Garden, & especially the Badmotorfinger album. Cheers. :)
It's well known if you've been part of the "grunge era". A masterpiece. AND it was the last song Chris Cornell performed live with Soundgarden before the tragedy. RIP
Chester was my fav for a while but Chris Is different! Soundgarden is nothing but bangers!!!! They got a lot of hidden gems. Chris was a vocal freak best ever imo!!! I wanna give you a song recommendation but there are bout 20 on my mind I wanna write how bout Black Rain.
Word! Like.. Nothing to Say, or Uncovered, or.. like you said, about 20 more, Cornell was a beast! Then you have the other range of the spectrum with him, like Sunshower or When I'm Down, or Preaching the End of the World.. Man was dope
It's all Chris Cornell. Have fun going through his massive catalog with Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple of the Dog and his solo work. Not to mention his countless other collabs, covers and even a James Bond intro song.
Old guy here. I have adored this son since the 90’s and always ask the same question… why is this not on every damn station and reaction channel! You are the best reactor dude.. you don’t hold back. You get it. Thank you for this!
Hey bro!! Its Chris voice all of it, just layered yes, no doubt Chris was like a big brother to Chester, and well i think that if Chris didnt take hes own life, maybe Chester would not have to?? just maybe thats the case, Chris gone surely did impact Chester. Chris, best vocal, well its hard to say really, surely he got one hell of a voice, and if you liked this one, the track right before this on Badmotorfinger album, called Outshined might be one to check out to.. I totally agree that this is a better song than Spoonman, Spoonman is fun with the spoonguy and stuff playing, black hole sun got great sound, and is a very good song, somehow it just dosent represent Soungarden still, but this is just better.. Outshined is a better song to.. Searching with my good eye closed from this album to, is a song that also will make you wonder, whats that shit..lol
Proud to say that my BFF and I had a metal show in N Texas (Dallas) when this came out, and we were first to play songs from this LP. Slaves and Bulldozers was first. ☮️❤️
I love Chris!! I was blown away with his cover of Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. He definitely made it his own. Give it a listen and see what you think 😊
Well, his voice certainly isn’t. I tend to think of it as superhuman. Soundgarden can be crushingly heavy. Chris can just unleash his screams, and this is one of his most explosive vocal performances.
Chris Cornell was a is a god baby he was he is the REAL rock god and only one!!!!ive been saying that for 34 years now, why not many people know about the BEST singer in the world?? didnt know then when i first heard in 1990 nor now, not really. you MUST listen to EVERYTHING he did, touched you MUST its a life changing event temple of the dog album his euphoria morning albym first 3 soundgarden albums its a must (oh btw he smoked nearly two packs a day and was an alcoholic until 2002 so no he definitely was NOT human to sing lie that)
Spoonmam is about a man who plays spoons. He’s in the video. Also catch the scream in the beginning of “Loud Love” and that’s him doing the high parts in Temple of the dogs “Hunger Strike”. Also same album TOTD’s “call me dog” he let’s loose as well. Catch “4th of July” it’s about a bad acid trip that he experienced. “Overfloater” it’s about over doing it and your Overfloating. Then there’s “Little Joe” It’s rumored that Joe is Jimmy Hindrix Joe in “👋 Joe”. I suggest them all
I made it to that tour. Honestly I feel like that is one of my most treasured concerts that I've ever been to because yes, it was not long after that he was gone. And I never saw it coming because he performed so magnificently that night. Never had a clue that such a dark turn would be around the corner.
@@PeteOliva oh no one saw it coming. Dude had his shit together as far as everyone was concerned. Put together well (like not sloppy) looked great, family man and so on. So it was definitely left field
@@PeteOliva kinda in a way the same thing happened when Layne Staley passed. So i I missed seeing him too. And him & Cornell are 2 of my faves along with Tool
Saw that show front row in Chicago. Chris played part of the solo from Searching with my Good Eye Closed 2 feet from our face. Have some incredible photos from that show.
@@georgeveenstra6894 that’s super cool. That will always be top 2 biggest music regrets of mine. I’ve seen NIN now at Red Rocks but obviously no more chances to hear/see Chris. But that & passing up Pink Floyd when I was 15 or 16 at Clemson stadium 🤦🏼♂️ I had to be out of my mind
Chris R.I.P was the GOAT🤘🏻🔥🖤🔥🤘🏻was he a screamer!?😂 hell yeah! That was his true color!!! It's almost impossible to cover his range🙌 it was no other member of the band, Try "Birth Ritual". Awesome Reaction 👏
Heretic. It's the very first SG song I ever heard, and my friend Billy who made me the tape didn't remember the name of the band. I figured it out when Rusty Cage was released. Heretic is on the Deep Six compliation if memory serves me. Check it out!
It sucks that Chester killed himself in the wake of Chris, he adored him to the point of suicide, he should have stuck around, the man had more to offer, done a decent job with Stone Temple Pilots, truly sad all three men are gone RIP Chris, Scott and Chester😢
Soundgarden used to be heavy. The really popular s*** on MTV. It's decent but honestly in my opinion never compared to the early albums. Chris is definitely the one screaming but in the studio he just layered his vocals.
That's Chris. No autotune, either.
They litterally sound like they have just gone out and picked a new sound from their garden every song they create. 'Beyond the wheel' has is another great example of cornells range.
Beyond The Wheel (song 8 of 8 in Germany) is incredible!!!
Beyond the wheel is one of my faves!!
This very well known among Soundgarden fans 😂
A lot of people are saying Beyond the Wheel…I agree 😂
The ending of the song sounds like a freakin train slowing down into the station 🚉 serious power there!!

Chris Cornell is the most underrated singer and songwriter in musically history
Hey man. If you wanna hear Chris Cornell scream, check Audioslave - Cochise. That's a true masterpiece
That first Audioslave album was a masterpiece.
But vocally the Audioslave era was the weakest of Cornell’s career. That was when he was still smoking and boozing and when he was getting old enough that it mattered
This is all Chris showing us just how ridiculous his voice was. Saw him perform this live several times in the early 90s…unbelievable. RIP Chris, you are missed but not forgotten.
Chris is indeed the best EVER!!!! Nobody is as versatile. Dig deep into his work. He is the GOAT!
It is him. Saw them live in 92, he sounded just as good live, truly unbelievable.
Why, that's quite a reaction there! One of the best reaction to Slaves I've seen so far! And to think we could have another Soundgarden member capable of doing Cornell-like magic with his voice, lol, that's really creative! No, it is just Chris, though it sounded like some 4 Chrises here! Oh, I miss my Mighty Soundgarden.... Peace and long life.

O H...
Also, Beyond the Wheel.
Great reaction as always. I gotta agree that 'Beyond the Wheel' is another to show off Chris' voice. If you wanna hear how diverse they are, try '4th of July'. Pure SLUDGE, in an awesome way.
4th of July, Hell yea
Black Rain as well is another slept on song in regards to his range.
@@prep0763 Absolutely
It's Badmotorfinger. Imo, this is the only album by Soundgarden without a single miss. They knocked it out with this one.
This....the album is by far the most under rated of the grunge era. The poetry, the vocals, the noisy guitars and fucked up tunings. Mind Riot guitars are literally tuned where all strings are the E note. I whole-heartedly agree. all killer and no filler. I literally can't pick a favorite track.

you said, absolutely right
Beyond the wheel German live I like your reaction.
Big regards from Chile South America
3:03 bro went through so many emotions 😭😭😭 that’s Chris Cornell for you tho
Call Me A Dog - Temple of the Dog is an incredible studio vocal.
Let's not forget BIRTH RITUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaalllllll!
Yes, yes and yes
Thanks for reacting to this one. I think it is one of his best vocal performances, recorded when his voice was Godlike.
Nope, it's all him 😏
Besides the other (great) recommendations from your other Soundgarden fanatics, to dive deeper in Chris’s incredible talent, I recommend listening to The Day I Tried To Live, Limo Wreck, Never The Machine Forever and New Damage 😎🤘
Go listen to “Beyond the Wheel.” Then “Loud Love.” You’ll think it’s all guitar at the beginning of “Loud Love” but it’s not. It’s actually Chris then the guitar comes in.
Yes
He was a beast!! So fuggin good!!!
Total goosebumps!!! He was the best!! R.I.P. Chris
It's only known to the most badass people.
The dude that produced Superunknown said he walked from the desk into the airlock between the recording space and the glass on the door was bulging out because Chris was changing the air pressure in the room! 😂
Not quite. He said he could hear Chris through the door, and when he touched the glass, he could feel the vibrations.
o_O Cornell absolutely *is* in the conversation for best rock voice!! ;)
Nobody else gives me goosebumps like Cornell. The quality songwriting on top of the vocals makes him extra special imho.

Any hidden gems you could recommend that are not in any albums? I'd love to hear their most underground stuff
It's all Chris Cornell. Have fun going through his massive catalog with Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple of the Dog and his solo work. Not to mention his countless other collabs, covers and even a James Bond intro song.
I turned A LOT of people onto Soundgarden with this song back in 92….i was like “if you like old Sabbath check this out” 🖤🤤
Please check out 'Temple of the dog' - "say hello to heaven". It's a side project Chris did as a tribute to the late Andy Wood.
Beyond The Wheel is worth a listen... Nobody can belt it out like Chris Cornell. Listen to it and tell me I'm wrong. You can't! Flawless vocals!!!
This is Epic Soundgarden gotta check out "Screaming Life Fopp" from the early days of Soundgarden its freaking Awesome
Old guy here. I have adored this son since the 90’s and always ask the same question… why is this not on every damn station and reaction channel! You are the best reactor dude.. you don’t hold back. You get it. Thank you for this!
This song and Outshined are the 2 songs I'd recommend for anyone starting a Soundgarden journey.
Jesus Christ Pose......it's incredible!!!!!!
Totally one of their top five songs.
Dude, thats a CONTROLLED scream!
Watch this performance live..chris has an insane vocal scream
you gotta listen to cochise by audioslave😵💫 youll love chris' scream
Just get the album, it’s their best piece and is a classic of the era, perfect album front to back
We’d love a listening party btw
Chris Is The Man.
Hey bro!!
Its Chris voice all of it, just layered yes, no doubt Chris was like a big brother to Chester, and well i think that if Chris didnt take hes own life, maybe Chester would not have to?? just maybe thats the case, Chris gone surely did impact Chester.

Searching with my good eye closed from this album to, is a song that also will make you wonder, whats that shit..lol
It’s Chris overdubbed and blended. He did 99.5% of the vocals. Ben, the bassist, did a couple background vocals on record.
this song is a behemoth. No idea why it didn't singlehandedly launch them into stratospheric fame.
Proud to say that my BFF and I had a metal show in N Texas (Dallas) when this came out, and we were first to play songs from this LP. Slaves and Bulldozers was first. ☮️❤️
Yeah...tjis song wasn't considered radio friendly. I bought this album when it first came out. Us SG fans know it quite well.
My favorite soundgarden song 💪
I love Chris!! I was blown away with his cover of Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. He definitely made it his own. Give it a listen and see what you think 😊
Dude, that song is beyond legendary
🤣 yes he screams..and growls..
Bro, if you want to hear him really scream, check out Audioslave, Cochise. He Damn near sounds like a demon at one point.
Well, his voice certainly isn’t. I tend to think of it as superhuman. Soundgarden can be crushingly heavy. Chris can just unleash his screams, and this is one of his most explosive vocal performances.
If you want full on metal by Chris Cornell... listen to Beyond the Wheel
That is why you buy the record and you don't just listen to the singles. For any band!
I laughed at “he does screams?”. Just check out their other song Jesus Christ Pose and thank me later. 🤟🏼
Chris Cornell was a is a god baby he was he is the REAL rock god and only one!!!!ive been saying that for 34 years now, why not many people know about the BEST singer in the world?? didnt know then when i first heard in 1990 nor now, not really.
you MUST listen to EVERYTHING he did, touched you MUST its a life changing event
temple of the dog album
his euphoria morning albym
first 3 soundgarden albums
its a must
(oh btw he smoked nearly two packs a day and was an alcoholic until 2002
so no he definitely was NOT human to sing lie that)
Soundgarden the best
Go Bengals!!! Fuck yeah!!!
It's all Chris singing. Cheers bro, great reaction. This whole album is fire 🔥
Because his voice is too mind-blowing for. regular people
Yes for sure best sound and tone for sure
Spoonmam is about a man who plays spoons. He’s in the video.
Also catch the scream in the beginning of “Loud Love” and that’s him doing the high parts in Temple of the dogs “Hunger Strike”. Also same album TOTD’s “call me dog” he let’s loose as well.
Catch “4th of July” it’s about a bad acid trip that he experienced.
“Overfloater” it’s about over doing it and your Overfloating.
Then there’s “Little Joe”
It’s rumored that Joe is Jimmy Hindrix Joe in “👋 Joe”.
I suggest them all
This whole album is full of powerful screams
oh for FS listen to Jesus Christ Pose 🔥
It's definitely Chris Cornell's voice, and yes, it's layered in a few parts.
I’m still sick that I missed seeing him live. Had my chance & tickets w/ NIN but wasn’t able to go last minute. And he was gone soon after
I made it to that tour. Honestly I feel like that is one of my most treasured concerts that I've ever been to because yes, it was not long after that he was gone. And I never saw it coming because he performed so magnificently that night. Never had a clue that such a dark turn would be around the corner.

Aside from Layne & Maynard no other singers from that era who make that sort of music can touch Cornell,I mean just listen to that shit!! 😳🤯🤤🖤🤘🏻
Chris R.I.P was the GOAT🤘🏻🔥🖤🔥🤘🏻was he a screamer!?😂 hell yeah! That was his true color!!! It's almost impossible to cover his range🙌 it was no other member of the band, Try "Birth Ritual". Awesome Reaction 👏
I was offended at the suggestion
Superunknown vocal is pretty sweet
Nice reaction
3:40. Well, think with your 211 mind! Open up!🍄🧐🌊
The “scream” is 100% Chris. He did a similar harsh scream in Cochise
Spoonman, Black Hole Sun, Outshined, Fell on Black Days are all way bigger...but this is by far their best IMO
Chris and Lane Staley have the best vocal tones in history!
You should hear him sing Billie Jean and Nothing Compares 2 U...
Chris was a vocal god
Wow I've known this since 1991.
Who Dey!
211. It’s what I mean! 😆🌿🌸
It’s all him dude, he could do it all!
Their best album
Clearly, obviously
That's ALL Chris
Checkout shadow on the sun and cochise he has dark screams in those songs
Spoon man is not about heroine. It’s about a man playing spoons.😅
Heretic. It's the very first SG song I ever heard, and my friend Billy who made me the tape didn't remember the name of the band. I figured it out when Rusty Cage was released. Heretic is on the Deep Six compliation if memory serves me. Check it out!
It’s him dude! No one sings like him
It sucks that Chester killed himself in the wake of Chris, he adored him to the point of suicide, he should have stuck around, the man had more to offer, done a decent job with Stone Temple Pilots, truly sad all three men are gone RIP Chris, Scott and Chester😢
Soundgarden used to be heavy. The really popular s*** on MTV. It's decent but honestly in my opinion never compared to the early albums. Chris is definitely the one screaming but in the studio he just layered his vocals.
Dude…. It’s all cornell
Its all Chris Singing.
Have u ever watched Crawling from Linkin Park feat Chris Cornell live?
It’s him bro
DIdn't the Rolling Stone crown him " King of Scream"?
Please listen to Jesus Christ Pose
Not sure what u linked to Chester. In the singing? The music has no comparison. Chester is great. But Chris is 🔥☠️❤
