this is when Chris was the end all-be all of vocalists...he's still one of the best out there, but at this point...there was no one who could touch him. some people say Mike Patton is the best vocalist of this era, in my opinion Patton can't touch Chris in terms of sheer balls and emotion. you just can't compete with a guy whos voice sounds like THIS.
Cornell has way more power than Buckley or Patton. Also has that natural timbre that simply cannot be fucked with. Buckley and Patton were both brilliant vocalists but Cornell is a vocal god
My beard grew after hearing this song. And i'm only 6 years old. In all seriousness. Chris killed this performance and i would pity any band that had to get up that stage after soundgarden.
this is fuckin amazing and as a side note, i always considered them as probably being a very big influence on Tool, especially with their earlier work, as u can definitely hear it with this song
look im not one to really exagerate things.....esspecially not when it comes to music. i am actually pretty critical of music but this........this is simply the MOST AMAZING THING I HAVE EVER HEARD!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Saw these guys (for the first time) in Feb of 1992--a Valentine present to my girlfriend. Soundgarden was opening for--get this--Skid Row. Ugh. How those posers had the frikkn' audacity to even come out on stage after Cornell & Co. is beyond me. Liquid courage I'm guessing. We left halfway through the second song ("I Remember You"). Ha!
the set for this gig was awsome : Searching with My Good Eye Closed, Flower, Face Pollution, Gun, Little Joe, Big Dumb Sex, Drawing Flies, Room a Thousand Years Wide, Rusty Cage, Nothing to Say, Outshined, Hands All Over, Mind Riot, Beyond the Wheel, Into the Void(Sealth), Jesus Christ Pose, Birth Ritual, Somewhere, Slaves and Bulldozers
in a sense you're right... however one can argue that his commercial success whether it be pop oriented or not, is inspirational and powerful. it depends a great deal on whose doing the listening, in your case you're comparing the past with the present.
@DavidKinner Yes, Layne was amazing. Definitely one of my very favorite singers. What makes patton great is the fact that he's just so versatile, and he can sing opera and r&b quite amazingly. But as a rock vocalists those other three outdo him by quite a bit in my opinion.
Steve Vai once said something informative about Jimmi Hendrix--essentially that there's nothing Hendrix DID that he can't DO, but the fact that he invented it in the first place is the thing. Soundgarden would be the first to admit the debt they owed to Sabbath and Zeppelin, the Stooges, and others. So while Plant took the frontman thing where it had never gone before, Cornell is certainly the real deal in his own right.
Chris by far has a better voice then Patton! Chris could hit the high notes, he had more power to his voice and could go lower then Patton; also Chris had more of a soothing sound to his voice during a soft slower song
That is f'n ungodly. The whole band at all cylinders. The Seattle bands all had that special something, and this video captures some of that. Please reunite, even if you guys suck it would be better than the majority of the crap on the radio today.
My gut reaction is to be annoyed, but on a purely singing level that's a pretty good point. I think they have a drastically different outlook, artistically-speaking, but the vocals are metalmetalmetal. Related note: great Ozzy impersonationn/send-up on the Soundgarden version of "Into the Void"; check it out!
That's pretty cool on the info source. I guess it's true when they live in Seattle and Cornell is living in Paris. I could never see the Cornell in this vid doing some of the stuff he's done lately. Like modeling, living in Paris, and all that. But I guess it's all aging and the responsibilities of a family and stuff. What ever happened to Kim. I heard he's collaborated on albums for others but not much else. He's gotta get back out there and do something with that guitar talent he has.
I agree. I shouldn't compare past with present. He plays for a different audience and his voice has become harsher, surely. May i say that i liked his older work So Much Better?
i think Chris might want to do his own thing cause with Audioslave he had the hip hop rock with RTAM type of music..and now he wants to do his own thing..thats what i think anyways.
hahaha, good one. well, he ain't my favourite bassist they had anyway, hiro is. i like all their stuff, but prefer the earlier, more raw heavy stuff. also, matt seemed to do more dynamic stuff on the drums too.
he said it was annoying and it interfered with his singing. he would take in huge gulps of hair and he would take in and swallow a crapload of his hair. he shaved his head completely. and another reason was b/c people were growing their hair like his and he didn't like that.
@GoodGuitarSolos He's still one of my favorite vocalists and is an amazing singer. but i still think his 'singing' itself is in most cases overrated. as a rock vocalist he's not on the same level as most of the greats. but as i said he's done so much amazing vocal work in other genres that it backs it up.
Perhaps.. His maturity doesn't pay off very positively then. Sad, because his earlier work was inspiring and powerfull. It seems to have turned into rather commercially based popsongs..
Random thought on a TH-cam poster: 1.) This particular post was written by someone so stupid that he doesn't even know HE'S the idiot. (Please, when calling others stupid, try to show a basic understanding of the written English language.)
I like both vocalist, but , mike patton is the more versatile, in to many styles of music like pop, dance, metal, trip hop, opera, he survives his solo carrer and keep going afrer faith no more break up, in the case of cornell lol, audioslave WTF, a solo most shitty pop album making from timbaland that trent reznor makes jokes about that. To this days only 2 vocalists in rock music and metal dont fucked up there voices the late ronnie james dio and mike patton so cornell is good, only in his first solo debut album and soundgarden.

Layne's a brilliant singer hands down, but Chris takes the cake for shredding eardrums and boiling blood with that roar.
Cornell was untouchable
this is when Chris was the end all-be all of vocalists...he's still one of the best out there, but at this point...there was no one who could touch him. some people say Mike Patton is the best vocalist of this era, in my opinion Patton can't touch Chris in terms of sheer balls and emotion. you just can't compete with a guy whos voice sounds like THIS.
If at one point of my life I had to go deaf, I'd want CC to wail my eardrums out. This performance is out of mind. I just got blasted. Fuck man......
Wow, I just looked up the lyrics...that certainly is one of the things that makes Cornell so great.
Holy sh*t. This is an exceptional performance even for Soundgarden.
All live performances of Beyond the Wheel somehow sound SO MUCH BETTER than the studio version.
un fucking believable.
this performance was a fucking out of body experience.
Cornell has way more power than Buckley or Patton. Also has that natural timbre that simply cannot be fucked with. Buckley and Patton were both brilliant vocalists but Cornell is a vocal god
quite simply; the most powerful voice ever.
You don't understand, Ben doesn't play bass, the bass plays him. That's how good he is.
Damn, this dude singing was fn awesome!
I hope there's a master tape to improve the sound quality.
holy shit! That's god singing right there. I love the hey jude intro, it fits. This is soundgarden at their peak. f'n godhead.
My beard grew after hearing this song. And i'm only 6 years old.
In all seriousness. Chris killed this performance and i would pity any band that had to get up that stage after soundgarden.
@GH0ST CO4FEE here is my careface :/
@GH0ST CO4FEE you're funny. Are you on medicine?
Cornel's screams give anybody the chills dog! The man was the best of the beasts!
Its so funny how it starts out like, "alright, stoned version of hey jude" and then you hear the opening verse and your like "oh shit"...
i can't get enough of this video.
Chris, Staley, Vedder and Plant are my favorite singers
this is absolutely sick!
I thought I heard it all from Soundgarden, but this performanc is one of the best.
Just saw them in Grand Prairie, TX (Dallas). Chris still can hit all the notes and the band sounded amazing.
The live videos of this band just blow me away
This footage is unbelievable. Too bad you had trouble with the camera. You are so lucky to have witnessed this. Chris is the man.
this is fuckin amazing
and as a side note, i always considered them as probably being a very big influence on Tool, especially with their earlier work, as u can definitely hear it with this song
look im not one to really exagerate things.....esspecially not when it comes to music. i am actually pretty critical of music but this........this is simply the MOST AMAZING THING I HAVE EVER HEARD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my God Ben it's an insane man.
THAT is some kick ass footage!!!
can I get the show date and venue on this. I want to track down others songs from this set. thanks!
give us more!!! jooooder!!
Actually he sung just as well.
Go look up that one JCP performance in 94. It was almost perfect compared to the studio version.
F'N amazing...
my chin just dropped to the fuckin floor
Man when he ramps up he flew!
i agree ... totally, more power
Happy birthday Grunge god, 7/20/20.
in a sense you're right... however one can argue that his commercial success whether it be pop oriented or not, is inspirational and powerful. it depends a great deal on whose doing the listening, in your case you're comparing the past with the present.
Lol, he just fell into the people, damn.
holy fuck this is mindblowing
@DavidKinner Yes, Layne was amazing. Definitely one of my very favorite singers. What makes patton great is the fact that he's just so versatile, and he can sing opera and r&b quite amazingly. But as a rock vocalists those other three outdo him by quite a bit in my opinion.
@tsugacanadensis77 for certain. Chris Cornell and Jeff Buckley imo are the two best vocalists of the past 25 years.
Best version I've heard so far. Better than that 94' version by far.
This feels so ALIVE
if this gig was in LA in this gig was also played Birth Ritual
bar none, brotha ;)
in LA 92 the setlist was awsome
Steve Vai once said something informative about Jimmi Hendrix--essentially that there's nothing Hendrix DID that he can't DO, but the fact that he invented it in the first place is the thing.

you may
They're four Gods, we must obey..
Chris by far has a better voice then Patton! Chris could hit the high notes, he had more power to his voice and could go lower then Patton; also Chris had more of a soothing sound to his voice during a soft slower song
lol
He did an almost studio-perfect one live in 1994. I consider it his best live JCP performance.
check it out.
Jesus christ he's wailing his ass off
Actually, IT IS!!!
Kind of a nice place, isn't it?
@gothnickify I agree with most of what you are saying, except Patton has an EXTREMELEY soothing tone when he wants to.
That is f'n ungodly. The whole band at all cylinders. The Seattle bands all had that special something, and this video captures some of that. Please reunite, even if you guys suck it would be better than the majority of the crap on the radio today.
what da fuck! I think I saw the god of rock
My gut reaction is to be annoyed, but on a purely singing level that's a pretty good point. I think they have a drastically different outlook, artistically-speaking, but the vocals are metalmetalmetal.

What ever happened to Kim. I heard he's collaborated on albums for others but not much else.
He's gotta get back out there and do something with that guitar talent he has.
Lovelovelove
@GoodGuitarSolos Dude don't forget Layne Staley!!! He had a very different voice. Check out his old glam days quite a lot of range also.
@codebabe I totally agree with that.
Actually they do speak.
They're all still friends and all.
They're just not bandmates anymore.
Cornell's mentioned that they chat and stuff.
we are not worthy!
I agree. I shouldn't compare past with present. He plays for a different audience and his voice has become harsher, surely. May i say that i liked his older work So Much Better?
lol, dig Kim's wierd flippy guitar move at 3:47
i think Chris might want to do his own thing cause with Audioslave he had the hip hop rock with RTAM type of music..and now he wants to do his own thing..thats what i think anyways.
wait were you there for this
@chiefzona1472 He reminds me of Jim Morrison.
The Nile Ue Ue Fly jim wishes
FUck Yeah!
@toadsnmarshmellows hahaha true that.
Where was this at? I need a recording of this now! :p
for sure better
Sorry about my bad english hehe-
why did he cut his hair
hahaha, good one. well, he ain't my favourite bassist they had anyway, hiro is. i like all their stuff, but prefer the earlier, more raw heavy stuff. also, matt seemed to do more dynamic stuff on the drums too.
you did
Yeah me too.
H-Town. lmao.
he said it was annoying and it interfered with his singing. he would take in huge gulps of hair and he would take in and swallow a crapload of his hair. he shaved his head completely.
and another reason was b/c people were growing their hair like his and he didn't like that.
why are we praising robert plant? theres no debate over whether cornell or plant is better.
@codebabe Layn Staley, Jeff Buckley, and CHRIS CORNELL! are the best vocalist's from this era. Definitely not Mike Patton although he is great.
Chris and Jeff Dads Irish, they were best buddies
@GoodGuitarSolos He's still one of my favorite vocalists and is an amazing singer. but i still think his 'singing' itself is in most cases overrated. as a rock vocalist he's not on the same level as most of the greats. but as i said he's done so much amazing vocal work in other genres that it backs it up.
No, we aren't... But nowadays, Chris Cornell seems to have forgotten his roots completely..
there's only one good version of JCP floating around on youtube, and its from motorvision or louder than live
all the others he sounds like he's dying
Perhaps.. His maturity doesn't pay off very positively then. Sad, because his earlier work was inspiring and powerfull. It seems to have turned into rather commercially based popsongs..
ben was the worst replacement for bass after hiro left.And no one can replace chris cornel or kim thayil.Soundgarden was amazing.
nah, i think he grew up.
No he didn't
Random thought on a TH-cam poster:
1.) This particular post was written by someone so stupid that he doesn't even know HE'S the idiot. (Please, when calling others stupid, try to show a basic understanding of the written English language.)
well he shouldnt have. he lost his voice when he cut his hair off
I like both vocalist, but , mike patton is the more versatile, in to many styles of music like pop, dance, metal, trip hop, opera, he survives his solo carrer and keep going afrer faith no more break up, in the case of cornell lol, audioslave WTF, a solo most shitty pop album making from timbaland that trent reznor makes jokes about that.
