Man he was such a nice guy. When I was in my early 20s he came to my country (South Africa) to play a huge festival for Coca Cola. Loads of major acts which had never been there before (or since). I got to attend the press conference and during the Q & A there was this guy who had won a competition through a local radio station. The prize was he got to attend the press conference and ask Chris Cornell a question. This dude was so shook and when it was his turn to talk he gave Chris a long story about how he loved him and he thanked him and graciously asked him to sign his guitar. Chris did it on the spot, then asked if the guy had been playing for long. Dude was like "yeah man, I learned all your songs" etc. Chris asked him if he knew how to play "Like a Stone". Dude then felt a bit more confident and said "absolutely". Chris on the spot told the dude that he can play with him on stage and gave him backstage passes the whole shebang! Madness. Needless to say, the concert itself was hella emotional. 2.5hr set. Dude was introduced on stage by the man himself for Like a Stone. Chris really knew what kind of happiness he brought to people. This dude's life was changed forever from something so simple and kind.
He internalized his demons and hide them from all. His kindness towards others was his truth. He was an artist above all. He has touched my life with his poetry and kindness in ways I can't articulate in words. My heart hurts for his mother and children. My heart hurts for Eddie. My heart hurts for all who suffer in this World. He was kind. Remember him and honor his life with kindness towards others. I think he would approve.
Yeah, but with depression it’s easy to become stuck in a moment. Things, even small things that wouldn’t normally tip somebody over the edge can almost certainly tip someone with chronic depression over the edge. Plus you can develop a sort of tunnel vision where you can only see things a certain way. Thinking becomes distorted and in that moment you can totally believe that your family and friends would be better off without you. It’s a horrible illness to have to deal with and so many suffer alone. I just hope that Chris has finally found peace.❤️🌹
Chris Cornell is a victim of 'the industry' but none would ever say a word about it......It is more than obvious that Chris was an awakening spirit and 'the industry' won't tolerate it ....May God bless his soul...
Among Others Involved. Soulmate What A Lying Ugly Evil Satanists Witch. She's already got a new Boyfriend. What's That Tell You. Justice for Chris Cornell.
Chris really loves his wife you know. I don’t think he would like people critisizing his wife. Kurt Cobain was murdered by Courtney Love and that’s the truth.
@@missyxtravaganza2743 Yeah Chris did Love Vk. But He Found Out The Ugly Evil Greedy Satanic Witch Wife She Was. He Was Done With That Evil Satanist Greedy Family. Chris Cornell Was Murdered. That's A Fact.
@@JeremiahB444idk, I understand where you guys are coming from but I just discovered Soundgarden and Chris Cornell through them, I always kind of heard that music or especially “you know my name” but just recently I discovered the endless amount of beautiful music this guy made. He definitely put it out there for people to hear after he’s gone. For a lot of people this is how you discover him, nothing wrong with getting into someone after they died. I mean I like John Lennon and I was born in 2003 so I couldn’t have followed him. It’s immortal.
Really well done interview, as Chris said at the end, did it way better than some people that get paid a lot for doing them. Polite, let him finish his ideas, didn't force any topics in, and Chris on a nice open way, talking about his insights and thouths, i'm happy i found this one.
Totally agree. More interviewers should be like this, too many are focused on making quips, talking over their guest or trying to get a controversial soundbite. This guy leads gently and respectfully with the questions and lets the artist talk.
He always seemed so grounded. Just goes to show anyone can be suffering and you never know. My mom's gone and she took her life October 6th, so not even a year ago. I feel so alone and in a very dark place in my life. I miss her everyday that I can't call her. Anyway RIP CC ♥️ We all loved you...
I connected with chris spiritually tonight, him and god, felt it in my soul, was crying my heart out and lost my voice for about 40 minutes out of absolutely nowhere while listening to black hole sun
I have a sense it was definitely the prescription drug that caused it , & most likely was an accident....I don't know, I've never done Ativan (Adivan?) - so I can't really say if it would have overpowered his emotions so strongly that suicide would be something one would do on the drop of a dime . However, I have seen people act very, very messed up on prescription meds (for depression/anxiety etc..) it can be very, very creepy - they are NOT themselves. So, in that sense, I blame the drug, the doctor & the pharmaceutical company - but these things are usually ruled "death by misadventure" .
awesome in hindsight. the interviewer has talent and he should now relish in his enate talent for asking the right questions in the right atmosphere.... love this! thank you!
Great interview. This guy was very polite & pet Chris finish speaking. You could tell that the interviewer really wanted to hear what Chris had to say & really took every word in. R.I.P. Chris Cornell...
Kate's Free It was a fan (me actually) conducting the interview. I provided additional details in a separate comment yesterday if you are interested in knowing more about the context. He couldn't have been nicer to me. He even introduced me to his wife after we finished this.
@@rscottmatt Where is that comment? I want to know everything, how awesome! Make a video telling how was this experience and upload on youtube, I know I'm asking too much but, please haha! You really did very well, great interview. I would give everything to have meet him, I tried in 2007 when came to my country, Brazil. I found his bandmates outside the club he was going to play for his solo tour but he was late for the concert.
@@felipec.5403 Unfortunately, it seems someone deleted that other comment I had made with additional details. I'm not sure why. I had also posted a similar comment on a separate video that shows part 1 of this same interview (it has many fewer views than this second part... I believe this one became more popular because of the more detailed title) and the comment was deleted there as well. The date was April 4, 2009. I had won a contest with the radio station which involved submitting interview questions in advance so that they could review them beforehand and select one person. If you search for the name of the radio station and chris cornell, you can find part 1. It does add some helpful context, as this second part breaks in abruptly and you don't really understand what led up to it. Hope this helps! And, thanks so much for the kinds words. It was surreal and amazing for sure!
""irish kids in lederhosen''... thank you so much for that visual chris... i'm still in shock, still hurting... but i'll be damned if he didn't make me laugh..
Perhaps but I think what Chris said was him parroting what his wife, family and possibly therapist have told him in his dark times. Chances are he always was suicidal and depressed and the meds he was on sparked a episode he couldn't fight out of. Just listen to his music, he mentions suicide, hanging and depression throughout his career. What he did had been on his mind since the early 80's.
Depression changes on a dime. Most people aren't in the place where harm can be done until they suddenly are. Then all the things that they know go out the window. Depression is a beast.
Alot of his songs were dark like AUDIOSLAVE's " like a stone" Depression can sneak up on you. It makes you think and do things you may never have thought about before . It prays on your thoughts until you cant take it anymore. The pain inside you'r head can be worse than anything physical. You will be missed Chris..
@@tammyrogne1471 yes he did. He had the signs. A lifetime of drug abuse kept him alive all this time by numbing and giving him relief from his own mind. When he stopped the drugs he was forced to face the cold difficult world he had been avoiding all his life. He is a gentle soul. The world can be too much. Depressed people are always looking for smtn meaningful to do to lift him up and to keep your mind busy and focused on smtn. The lack of eye contact is a tell tale sign of depression and low self esteem. I think he was under constant pressure to remain sober and heavily scrutinized by people who didnt understand what he was going thru. The pressure of disappointing people can be a lot to deal with. He just couldnt take it anymore.
Bear with me. Long comment, but it comes full circle. I love the Zao shirt the interviewer is wearing. They were one of my favorite bands. Zao means "To live, to breathe, to be fully alive," in Greek. Chris's son was baptized into the Eastern (Greek) Orthodox Church because Chris's Greek wife is, herself, Orthodox. In Orthodox belief, Chris is now and forever experiencing Zao. What an incredible talent and beautiful life. Gonna miss you, Chris.
Was suppose to see him the next night in Columbus, OH. I can't hardly watch anything with him without crying. So damn sad. I miss u Chris! LOUD LOVE!!!!
He touched my soul and does evertytime I hear any of his music or voice. Total elation, orgasmic brings so much to the table...RIP...hoping you found the peace you were looking for.
its odd...when i found out how he died i instantly imagined him regretting what had happened and felt like he was trapped.may always be trapped.theres no way you can have his kind of thumb print in this life and not feel a consequence one way or another.good or bad....fucked up.
Herbert King, deep within each one of us lies psychic abilities. It's part of our human nature. If your instincts and your gut told you that he regretted what happened and felt trapped. You're not alone. I've pretty much been feeling the same thing. If he did kill himself he definitely didn't mean to. I do believe there is definitely more to the story than we know. we may never know the actual truth of what happened and why it happened but we need to always remember what he did for us and what he left behind. Even with his passing I believe his story is not yet finished...
When people get on drugs they don't think the same he was in distress that night his wife witnessed it over the phone he was in a panic attack from the drugs he was prescribed he killed himself it's not a conspiracy sober chris wouldn't have killed himself 😢
As a person who has suicidal ideations, my fear is my family. Mainly my grandmother, cause she raised me but I still have ideations. You can love your family and have depression and ideations. Some days can be roses and the next day can be horrible. But yea I love my family and don't want to hurt them yet I find peace in not existing
Same here but it's my grandfather. Sometimes I think they would be better off without me but then remember that's probably just my brain trying to trick me.
i think he is murdered too, but this is definetely not an argument. so sorry to say. But I know someone who killed himself (he actually DID) and he loved his son. His son is a friend of mine and told me the whole story. he had 2 more sons with another wife but he left EVERYTHING for him only. He was 90% of the dedication in his death letter, the guy fucking loved his son. So just saying, the world goes way more beyond that argument you were stating about why he didn't commited suicide. I do think Chris is killed by something else or someone else than just himself or depression or drugs, let's make that clear
Good interview, creating the subtext for him to follow, not trying to showboat his knowledge; just creating an environment for hime to talk and say what he feels about certain subjects.
Yep, thats how it works. Now, all on here that is depressed, well, we should I guess go get some BENZOS , some HEIRONand shoot up that then hang our selves
Lavador Sizemore I respect your views, and sincerity. However, as a former "born again" God fearing man, now being Theistic Agnostic, and taking a step outside of "religion" I see more Clearly... what life is!! I believe in ME! Not arrogantly, but I have put accountability for the success or lack of on myself. Again, I'm Agnostic, not Atheist. Huge difference. I don't believe, however I dont just close off the idea of God. I respect Christ as well as Christians like you who share the gospel without condemnation. I have zero respect for Christians who deny their faith in front of others, or get pissed of you don't believe THEIR ways. Same with Atheists. Many of them do the same thing. Anyway, I hope you've found happiness in your faith, but always keep an open mind. Thank you
Terry Headley Agnosticism is a statement that one does not have knowledge or satisfactory proof a “god”, whereas atheism is the lack of _belief_ in any deity, not the denial of the existence of a “god.” In other words agnosticism and atheism address different concepts. One can be an agnostic _and_ an atheist (or as I prefer, “non-theist” as the term doesn’t have the same baggage as “atheist”) simultaneously. Not trying to lecture or hector you, just trying to share information. Peace.
romans 1 god shows himself in nature,you have NO excuse, accept gods general revelation and Jesus will show himself to you more intimately,you were never born again in the first place,you just heard someone say You must be born again. www.equip.org
T seikert Those are just words in a book. You only have a _belief_ in their divine significance, nothing more. Your argument has no more validity than any other proselytizing religionist’s, be it a Muslim, Mormon or Jehovah’s Witness.
i felt a deep sensation of fire and electricity going all throughout my bodyalso people i dont know prophesy things only god would know in jesus name about 8 times in my lefe, when i was reading the king james book of matthew 2-the book of james 3 praying to that jesus 4-being prayed for by 4 different trinitarin believers 4 seperate times thats good enough to me stop praying selfish prayers and jesus will reveal himself to you otherwise satan will destroy you www.equip.org
I found it very amusing that so many people overlook what he said the first minute of this tape. This is what they do (they tell you the truth in the form of a semi-joke).
I was just scrolling through the comments to see if anyone else picked up on it...HAHA Chris Cornell (Real name Christopher John Boyle) Changed his name to Chris Cornell in order to be accepted into the masonic cult that runs pretty much all entertainment and politics Chris Cornell- CC= 33 in numerology Hidden in plain sight...I had noticed that the most recent pictures of CC looked rather odd, maybe plastic surgery?? but CC didn't seem like a very vain man... I started watching old 90's footage with CC and I noticed how much different he looked back when he was young. His lips and eyes were much different than the interviews I saw when he started Audioslave. If you go and look his top lip became strangely paper thin and his eyes got smaller and turned crystal blue. As he has aged, and since coming back to Soundgarden, you can tell that he is the same person in Audioslave, but older...Since 2015 his look has become drastically different. In fact, when I first heard the news of his death, the most recent pictures of him had me doing a complete double take...To the point where I started comparing google images and I realized that something wasn't right here I am a huge Soundgarden and Audioslave fan... I haven't really kept up on him since the Audioslave days but now I find myself (along with many others) listening to his newer work and really enjoying it. So Im not here to bash CC or anything like that...But there is something seriously weird about this whole thing and when I clicked this Interview, I was intentionally looking for some clues... And right off the bat he just unloads the truth....If you notice he never laughs, not even once...just a smug grin and a tiny hint of sarcasm...The only person who nervously starts to laugh is the rookie interviewer...Awkward as hell, and oh how they love to mock you right in front of your face!!! LOL SMH Shout out out RussianVids...Check out his channel sometime ;) Peace
Exactly and I find it interesting, in the last couple of days, on both the imdb.com and biography.com websites, they include in their bio of him: "After his parents' divorce (the children adopted their mother's maiden name, Cornell)," BUT THEN WHY IS HIS BROTHER PETER STILL GOING BY BOYLE IF THIS IS TRUE!?
Its insane! There are a few signals going on. Remember the video "Blow up the outside world"? Thats MK Ultra at its best; and have u heard outshined lyrics? (Awesome song btw) but particularly strange; Black Hole Sun lyrics are suspicious also; CC made many references on his songs to snakes and butterflies, in Black Hole Sun's video the girl who is tanning has reptil tounge; there's also one song "Get on the snake" it says Get on the snake where u never will believe, my heart is bleeding, Im dying to leave, Get on the snake, with a suicide machine. ¿? Of course his songs can have different interpretations, but If he was a suicidal, he could've done it like 20 years ago when his addiction was fucked up. In every song you can see references about... but I found them more as creepy, controled messages than actually suicidal, like Alice in Chains' for example. I dont know, everything is very weird, but I just share my clues with u guys, hope we can know what really happened. Still such a terrible lost.
listen to the song Ghosts: "Searching for a mirror, that would show the world not who you are, but who you wanna be." He had a history of depression. There's many quotes about it. I believe he was really trying to shed his dark past but the damn thing came back with a vengeance :( What a sweet soul. I hope he can finally rest in peace. I miss him.
Spashaei, Dude, I didn't know him really well, but I knew him enough to know that he doesn't fit the profile of someone who is battling depression. I mean, the guy was so down to earth that he would just talk to you all day long about whatever. That is, before one of his handlers would arrive on the scene and rip him away from you. You can ask anyone in Seattle and they'll tell you the same thing. Except, that is, those disc jockeys from the local radio stations who were purposely putting out misinfo right after he supposedly died.
So if Chris knew and understood the consequences, why would he off himself? This doesn’t make sense. He was either murdered or someone told him to off himself or else his family would suffer. It’s one or the other. Chris did not commit suicide. I’m still mourning his loss to this day.
Weird. I used Chris Cornell on one of these "Paul is Dead" youtube threads to point out that a person can appear different relative heights from one photo to the next. So weird that he'd reference that.
Bad journalism. If you're interviewing a famous person who says "I've jumped out of a 10 story window onto a tree" and you don't follow up on that you're just not doing your job.
Ok from what I think happened hearing that Martin Kristen went up to his room to fix his Apple TV. Who is trying to fix their T.V. minutes before hanging themselves? I think Martin man handled him choked him out and staged the scene after that Martin went back to his room or wherever waited for the call from Vicky and started to kick down the door and explained himself to the hotel workers in a state of panic and worry some for Cornell. After that Vicky gets Chris's money and Martin gets a cut as well. From this interview it seems that he would never leave his children behind. Nobody will ever know exactly kinda like Cobain.
Unfortunately, having everything does not make you immune to mental illness or any other affliction that also affects people who don't have everything. Depression is pervasive and non-discriminatory. It can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, race, or social status. That's why the saying "money can't buy happiness" will always be circulating around. It's the truth.
I can tell you no matter what you have in your life kids love whatever… when suffering and addiction or whatever you call them, are so strong, nothing else matters, everything is dull and bland. Suicide is comfort. I know I come from a very dark place that I still visit sometimes.
Thanks Julien Lewis....Weird but I tapped on to your comment!! I am so glad to read what you wrote! I know his death was just a very bad accident. My boyfriend died the same way a year ago...he was a drummer and he was depressed ...long story ..not gonna get into it, but he didn't want to die depression and the drugs he was on cause he had cancer took over...cant explain but I can relate to your words. He actually met chris!! we both loved him. I guess now maybe they are hanging out in heaven jamming out! thanks for making me feel better!!! XO
Chris starts off by saying he is an actor and taller by 3 inches....umm I literally have always wondered if he grew later in life, cuz he looks way taller than he did back in the day
Chris cornell was not depressed. he was not murdered and he did not relapse(of this i can't be sure of and i think we should support Vicky Cornell in her search for the truth of what happened). But in my opinion Chris was most likely in a psychosis when he killed himself. Chris Cornell had a torn shoulder from a biking injury. he fell off his bike a little while before his death. He couldn't sleep well if at all for months because of the pain. That's why he was on the prescription meds. you top that with a long tour and you're in a mess. A lack of sleep alone can put a person in to a psychosis. chris was under extreme circumstances. Touring with a torn shoulder with a lack of sleep night after night giving his all on stage. nobody could take that kind of beating for long. Sleep is so essential to our well being. a few days we can handle. but when you don't sleep for weeks or months, nobody is able to take that without consequence. I've been in a psychosis and all it took was a few nights without proper sleep to fall in to one. it can happen to anyone. Now the Ativan may have played a role(probably did), and even too much coffee could have(everything ads up), but the main reason was lack of sleep and extreme fatigue and stress induced psychosis. chris's downfall was he was an over achiever and a perfectionist. He didn't take a brake when he should have. Soundgarden should have never gone on tour with chris's state of health 🙁
This makes sense instead of the conspiracy theories. Question remains though; did Chris willingly go on tour with his injury, or was there push from the labels? I suppose the first because one of the conditions on which Soundgarden reunited was that they could do everything on their own terms without record companies bossing them around. He DID sound really great on that last tour (check the fort Myers gig). I guess he really was a workaholic and didn't know his limits, but the label thing should not be overlooked IMO. However i do think he relapsed and his doctor should be looked into, you don't prescribe someone addictive drugs when he/she has had a substance abuse problem earlier in their lives. This doesn't make me think any less of Chris, we're all human and we all have our weaknesses. Like you said, everything probably just added up to 1 terrible moment. Still amazing what he gave to the world, his music is ours to listen to forever. R.I.P.
Yes, OP. This is what I have concluded with Chris' unfortunate and early departure. A LOT of stress on tour and away from home, away from family and kids who he loved so much, lack of sleep, pain in his shoulders and back and he took too many Ativans and caffeine. (Ativan should never be prescribed for pain alone... He must have also been prescribed it for an anxiety disorder as well which I personally do not believe Ativan was the best that DR put him on for a recovering addict. Ativan is pretty strong. Clonazepam has less or fewer adverse side effects and largely considered the safest benzo. It's a little easier to get off of too) ***So it's already been reported that in a 7-9 day period he took more than half of his Ativan prescription. He Took 50 pills in a 9 day period....*** his wife said he was slurring his words and kept repeating "theres ringing in my head....this ringing in my head. I'm tired. Just tired" etc. Repetitive speech and slurring, and ringing in the ears/head are a few symptoms of the substance induced psychosis syndrome. (It can also be a withdrawal symptom.) But Add all the above up and his prior depression issues and whatever was going on in his life and head at the time -can and -*-will-* likely result in a substance induced psychosis. It is a very real condition. Look it up "Substance induced psychosis" It is so easy to forget how many meds you've taken in a matter of couple of hours and eventually in a matter of minutes. I've personally experienced this and have tried to kill myself. With Ativan. I had been on it for 7 years for panic disorder and eventually it backfired on me and caused adverse reactions/side effects including suicidal ideation/ thoughts and depression and slowed me down. It's a central nervous depressant too. Luckily, I survived obviously. Some people claim to do way more than that and they say "but but but I was fine when I took xyz amount did this and that blablabla".... E-v-e-r-y-o-n-e is different and reacts differently on certain substances and it doesn't take much for people who become sensitive to a substance. Adverse reactions can happen AT ANY TIME AT ANY POINT... It really fucks with your head and thinking! I believe unfortunately that this happened to him. I wish I could have warned him or someone close to him had I'd known them! Because right when i first saw his music video for "Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart" in 2015 and his photo shoots for " This is Chris Cornell", I instantly knew something was very wrong with him and I knew that he wasn't feeling good at all on the inside...There were warning signs years prior to 2017... even I, as a simpleton fan of his for years my entire life. I knew he needed help... I don't know the whole truth in everything that happened or anything really but just my opinion. R.I.P Sweet Chris. Loved and missed, dearly...
Actually, that's EXACTLY what it is. Suicude, like homicide, typically IS a last second decion. Suicide, typically happens after build up of (insert issues here), and commonly, when coupled with Drugs and or alcohol, builds up, and your judgement is clouded, your thoughts are obscured and you see no other way out. Typically anyway, sadly, yes it is a last second decision. Which is why suicide negotiators will get the potential victim to take time, and THINK , get your mind off of the shit that's wrenching at your gut. Same with someone who takes a hostage to kill. Hope that made sense to you
I mean he's been depressed for many many years and how come he killed himself now,after all these years of depression when he's old and has wife and three beautiful kids that he loves
nope. Cause he over dose and hung himself!!! Really?? I mean there is so ooo many that suffer with depression and if that was the case WE all be dead! C'on what the Fuck
Who cares how any of it happened, IT IS HORRIBLE, that he is gone. Someone should have been there when he was in his time of dying! My heart aches for him but now he's free of this form.
Seems there is more here in the comments that know the truth on him killing himself and then yyou have the interneters out to make us with tin foil hats on just like that. THEY cannot out do this one , this one was far more the must utterly strange and DID NOT ADD UP> I am so glad I am skilled in the field of P.I. investigating, detective, medical, medicine, mental health, survival and knowing my tin foil hat help me in all these fields!!!!
People that still think that Chris was murdered...come on, he spoke about death constantly, look at the opening of this video, in other interviews where he speaks about the Grunge scene and the deaths over the years, his songs are all about death, a lot his idols even committed suicide like Sylvia Plath, Ian Kevin Curtis who even shares the same date death as Chris, he even said at one of his gigs that years ago he considered suicide but lucky enough hes still here. This guy has toyed with the idea for years, personally I don't think he could even bare the thought of getting old too, Chris was quite a vain person and one of the reasons why Hiro Yamamoto said he left the band was because he couldn't bare Chris taking his shirt off at every single gig they done. With Chris who always fantasized about death and the thought of getting old I personally think it all just all got too much for him, because lets be honest, he did have that iconic look like James Dean, Monroe etc, I thought he was gonna commit suicide back in 97, I'm amazed he lastest as long as he did.
@S M I personally don't think his wife had anything directly to do with his death, what I do think though that she knew Chris was mentally a vulnerable man and deliberately drove Chris nuts to then maybe commit suicide, I can believe that, in an interview with Rolling Stones magazine back in 1999 Chris admitted to a habit - “Something I’ve done since I was a kid- of opening windows and imagining what it would be like to jump" He's toyed with the thought of suicide for years and I wasn't really shocked that he had finally called it a day.
you dont get defense wounds on the ribs because of CPR, remember that, that's what they said about chris in the autopsy yet I'm supposed to believe he killed himself
You think of all the people you partied with in your teens - I married my wife when I was 21 - but you get married, most of you, and you notice the guys who never had kids never grew up. You’ve got that baggage from your youth, like addiction, and that can fuck you up, but your best incentive to get over it is the effect it has on your family. Too bad it wasn’t enough, but he was on the right path. Sometimes you fuck up.

Man he was such a nice guy. When I was in my early 20s he came to my country (South Africa) to play a huge festival for Coca Cola. Loads of major acts which had never been there before (or since). I got to attend the press conference and during the Q & A there was this guy who had won a competition through a local radio station. The prize was he got to attend the press conference and ask Chris Cornell a question. This dude was so shook and when it was his turn to talk he gave Chris a long story about how he loved him and he thanked him and graciously asked him to sign his guitar. Chris did it on the spot, then asked if the guy had been playing for long. Dude was like "yeah man, I learned all your songs" etc. Chris asked him if he knew how to play "Like a Stone". Dude then felt a bit more confident and said "absolutely". Chris on the spot told the dude that he can play with him on stage and gave him backstage passes the whole shebang! Madness. Needless to say, the concert itself was hella emotional. 2.5hr set. Dude was introduced on stage by the man himself for Like a Stone. Chris really knew what kind of happiness he brought to people. This dude's life was changed forever from something so simple and kind.
Thank you for sharing this, so solidifies how I feel about Chris
Love this!!!❤
THE INTERVIEWER IS MY DAD🤯🤯 I CANNOT BELIEVE I JUST FOUND THIS!!!
How did it feel when you found this?😂
@@rose.888 my dad had already told me he has interviewed Chris but he never told me when or how. I'm honestly shocked
He internalized his demons and hide them from all. His kindness towards others was his truth. He was an artist above all. He has touched my life with his poetry and kindness in ways I can't articulate in words. My heart hurts for his mother and children. My heart hurts for Eddie. My heart hurts for all who suffer in this World. He was kind. Remember him and honor his life with kindness towards others. I think he would approve.
Beautifully spoken! Thank you for articulating.
Welcome to being a man..Internalizing everything is what we do best..it’s a gift and a curse.
I think you have confused Chris Cornell with Captain Kangaroo.
God bless you.
A true gentleman. Especially with his comments at the end.
Love that he compliments the interviewer.
I know, right? What a lovely, but conflicted spirit. God, man...fucking sad in Dallas...
ever polite he is
Tricia Bentzen ♥😞♥
I felt like the interviewer made it a genuine conversation which was perfect!
So do I.
This interview cemented my confidence he would never commit suicide. I'm still shocked that he's gone and yet I'm still here. He kept me grounded.
Yeah, but with depression it’s easy to become stuck in a moment. Things, even small things that wouldn’t normally tip somebody over the edge can almost certainly tip someone with chronic depression over the edge. Plus you can develop a sort of tunnel vision where you can only see things a certain way. Thinking becomes distorted and in that moment you can totally believe that your family and friends would be better off without you. It’s a horrible illness to have to deal with and so many suffer alone. I just hope that Chris has finally found peace.❤️🌹
@@Gramsgirl-ie8fbchris is somewhere nice. i believe that in my heart
"no matter how hard I work, Ill barely scratch the surface" wow! pure genius and so relatable and humble! The soundtracks of our lives. 💔
He had to be talking about his relationship with Vicki on that one.
I'll never believe he took his life I'm still heartbroken by his passing.hes a good man an so talented r.i.p. beautiful man.😢
Tammy Brown Has anyone ever thought about Chris being killed for his collaboration with cat Stevens? I can't help but wonder.
Tammy Brown exactly. He was murdered
It's usually the nicest people that take there own lives this guy had a big heart ♥
"LIFE IS SHORT, MUSIC IS INFINITE." Wow....SOO TRUE.
Justice For Chris Cornell!
It's coming.
Totally 🎯
Not a suicide , his truth and integrity made him a target .
Anthony Bourdain, chester Bennington , Prince 👑 , too
Justice
@@ivyc3500 when?
Don't forget MJ.
Chris Cornell is a victim of 'the industry' but none would ever say a word about it......It is more than obvious that Chris was an awakening spirit and 'the industry' won't tolerate it ....May God bless his soul...
Exactly. He would have turned way to many people on. He had massive potential. But it might have backfired for the opposition imo.
Among Others Involved. Soulmate What A Lying Ugly Evil Satanists Witch. She's already got a new Boyfriend. What's That Tell You. Justice for Chris Cornell.
Chris really loves his wife you know. I don’t think he would like people critisizing his wife. Kurt Cobain was murdered by Courtney Love and that’s the truth.
@@missyxtravaganza2743 wow what hilarious irony.
@@missyxtravaganza2743 Yeah Chris did Love Vk. But He Found Out The Ugly Evil Greedy Satanic Witch Wife She Was. He Was Done With That Evil Satanist Greedy Family. Chris Cornell Was Murdered. That's A Fact.
I hate how in all his vids the only comments are from when he died. This is one of the greatest singers of all time.
Sadly this is the nature of life, for musicians especially.
No one’s truly listening or telling you how they felt about you until you’re gone :/
@@JeremiahB444idk, I understand where you guys are coming from but I just discovered Soundgarden and Chris Cornell through them, I always kind of heard that music or especially “you know my name” but just recently I discovered the endless amount of beautiful music this guy made. He definitely put it out there for people to hear after he’s gone. For a lot of people this is how you discover him, nothing wrong with getting into someone after they died. I mean I like John Lennon and I was born in 2003 so I couldn’t have followed him. It’s immortal.
Pffffft!!!
His art is immortal...
Really well done interview, as Chris said at the end, did it way better than some people that get paid a lot for doing them. Polite, let him finish his ideas, didn't force any topics in, and Chris on a nice open way, talking about his insights and thouths, i'm happy i found this one.
Love that!
Totally agree. More interviewers should be like this, too many are focused on making quips, talking over their guest or trying to get a controversial soundbite. This guy leads gently and respectfully with the questions and lets the artist talk.
He always seemed so grounded. Just goes to show anyone can be suffering and you never know. My mom's gone and she took her life October 6th, so not even a year ago. I feel so alone and in a very dark place in my life. I miss her everyday that I can't call her. Anyway RIP CC ♥️ We all loved you...
He always seems like he was on benzos
Chris liked you man.
i still cry like a little girl

RIP Brother. I love your beauty, voice and soul. PLH
I connected with chris spiritually tonight, him and god, felt it in my soul, was crying my heart out and lost my voice for about 40 minutes out of absolutely nowhere while listening to black hole sun
COMPLETELY INSPIRED BY THE INTERVIEW, LOVE YOU BROTHER RIP
I loved you then, I love you now, and I will love you always!!!
Such a creative genius. It's like everything he did was with the quality of the music in mind.
this is why things seem way off. he is thinking of his family and how before it didn't matter but now he has others to think about.
sara oakes deep down we all know he didn't kill himself
I have a sense it was definitely the prescription drug that caused it , & most likely was an accident....I don't know, I've never done Ativan (Adivan?) - so I can't really say if it would have overpowered his emotions so strongly that suicide would be something one would do on the drop of a dime . However, I have seen people act very, very messed up on prescription meds (for depression/anxiety etc..) it can be very, very creepy - they are NOT themselves. So, in that sense, I blame the drug, the doctor & the pharmaceutical company - but these things are usually ruled "death by misadventure" .
hazor777 he'd had addictions to alcohol and drugs throughout his life. You don't suddenly just accidentally od on prescriptions at 52
iC3y K4rMa - the official report was that he died via hanging himself - try to keep up .
hazor777 yeah he died by hanging but was found on the floor, another example how many holes are in the story
Such a lovely interview, Chris was yapping away in an articulated expressive open chat, love that he brought up his Irish upbringing! !
The interview was very well done. So sad to see this legend go.
He is a very intelligent/introspective being... Hope to see you on the other side Chris. 👍
Love Chris Cornell and his timeless music. ♥️
I love the way he always stood by his truth, softly.
Such a great interview. Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks for the video. Chris Cornell was Amazing as usual. Justice for Chris Cornell. Rip Our Beautiful Rock Legend.
awesome in hindsight. the interviewer has talent and he should now relish in his enate talent for asking the right questions in the right atmosphere.... love this! thank you!
Great interview. This guy was very polite & pet Chris finish speaking. You could tell that the interviewer really wanted to hear what Chris had to say & really took every word in. R.I.P. Chris Cornell...
He was always God's child, and then, took him to heaven.
Tammy Hauck hope so
@@mrkm7374 can you explain what you mean?
Also, he couldn't have been more gracious towards the interviewer, who it seems was new at it or something.
Kate's Free It was a fan (me actually) conducting the interview. I provided additional details in a separate comment yesterday if you are interested in knowing more about the context. He couldn't have been nicer to me. He even introduced me to his wife after we finished this.
We lost a good one.
rscottmatt Awesome. Thanku✊
@@rscottmatt Where is that comment? I want to know everything, how awesome! Make a video telling how was this experience and upload on youtube, I know I'm asking too much but, please haha! You really did very well, great interview. I would give everything to have meet him, I tried in 2007 when came to my country, Brazil. I found his bandmates outside the club he was going to play for his solo tour but he was late for the concert.
@@felipec.5403 Unfortunately, it seems someone deleted that other comment I had made with additional details. I'm not sure why. I had also posted a similar comment on a separate video that shows part 1 of this same interview (it has many fewer views than this second part... I believe this one became more popular because of the more detailed title) and the comment was deleted there as well. The date was April 4, 2009. I had won a contest with the radio station which involved submitting interview questions in advance so that they could review them beforehand and select one person. If you search for the name of the radio station and chris cornell, you can find part 1. It does add some helpful context, as this second part breaks in abruptly and you don't really understand what led up to it. Hope this helps! And, thanks so much for the kinds words. It was surreal and amazing for sure!
""irish kids in lederhosen''... thank you so much for that visual chris... i'm still in shock, still hurting... but i'll be damned if he didn't make me laugh..
too spooky opening line...
That's the industry.
This shows He wouldn't have killed himself, RIP Chris.
CRASHMAGNET but he did
Perhaps but I think what Chris said was him parroting what his wife, family and possibly therapist have told him in his dark times. Chances are he always was suicidal and depressed and the meds he was on sparked a episode he couldn't fight out of.
Just listen to his music, he mentions suicide, hanging and depression throughout his career. What he did had been on his mind since the early 80's.
Depression changes on a dime. Most people aren't in the place where harm can be done until they suddenly are. Then all the things that they know go out the window. Depression is a beast.
You would like to believe you can save your family but he couldn't save himself. Thats the problem with being ill. You can't reason with it.
Alot of his songs were dark like AUDIOSLAVE's " like a stone" Depression can sneak up on you. It makes you think and do things you may never have thought about before . It prays on your thoughts until you cant take it anymore. The pain inside you'r head can be worse than anything physical.
You will be missed Chris..
HE DID NOT COMMIT SUICIDE STOP BEING FOOLED
Lisbeth Lunna exactly! He was murdered
It's mind control. He was already being stalked by everyone around him.
I feel like his wife and or body guard was in on it
There may be something to that cause he didnt seem like the kind of guy to kill himself!
@@tammyrogne1471 yes he did. He had the signs. A lifetime of drug abuse kept him alive all this time by numbing and giving him relief from his own mind. When he stopped the drugs he was forced to face the cold difficult world he had been avoiding all his life. He is a gentle soul. The world can be too much. Depressed people are always looking for smtn meaningful to do to lift him up and to keep your mind busy and focused on smtn. The lack of eye contact is a tell tale sign of depression and low self esteem. I think he was under constant pressure to remain sober and heavily scrutinized by people who didnt understand what he was going thru. The pressure of disappointing people can be a lot to deal with. He just couldnt take it anymore.
Bear with me. Long comment, but it comes full circle.
I love the Zao shirt the interviewer is wearing. They were one of my favorite bands.
Zao means "To live, to breathe, to be fully alive," in Greek.
Chris's son was baptized into the Eastern (Greek) Orthodox Church because Chris's Greek wife is, herself, Orthodox.
In Orthodox belief, Chris is now and forever experiencing Zao.
What an incredible talent and beautiful life. Gonna miss you, Chris.
Love you Chris! ❤️ R.I.P.
ill miss you rip cc
Was suppose to see him the next night in Columbus, OH. I can't hardly watch anything with him without crying. So damn sad. I miss u Chris! LOUD LOVE!!!!
yeup I was going too
he left behind so much awesome stuff.........much love.....Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.....
He touched my soul and does evertytime I hear any of his music or voice. Total elation, orgasmic brings so much to the table...RIP...hoping you found the peace you were looking for.
I was just feeling "Blow Up the Outside World" from Soundgarden! RIP CHRIS CORNELL
It's like you lost your light Chris. Your kids, your wife, your music...All is left behind.
"Life in infinite". RIP
its odd...when i found out how he died i instantly imagined him regretting what had happened and felt like he was trapped.may always be trapped.theres no way you can have his kind of thumb print in this life and not feel a consequence one way or another.good or bad....fucked up.
Herbert King, deep within each one of us lies psychic abilities. It's part of our human nature. If your instincts and your gut told you that he regretted what happened and felt trapped. You're not alone. I've pretty much been feeling the same thing. If he did kill himself he definitely didn't mean to. I do believe there is definitely more to the story than we know. we may never know the actual truth of what happened and why it happened but we need to always remember what he did for us and what he left behind. Even with his passing I believe his story is not yet finished...
Thats exactly how I felt too.
ImagineJohn1980 he lost his light years before his kids
great interview chris was a special guy for sure.
I'm still so sad.
the first 2min and 45 secs explains exactly why he would NEVER knowingly commit suicide.
I Agree 💯. Chris Cornell was Murdered.
You’re right. He didn’t knowingly commit suicide-he was taking medication that heightened his suicidal tendencies.
When people get on drugs they don't think the same he was in distress that night his wife witnessed it over the phone he was in a panic attack from the drugs he was prescribed he killed himself it's not a conspiracy sober chris wouldn't have killed himself 😢
Being a parent changes everything. God rest your beautiful soul.💔
Long live Chris 💗
As a person who has suicidal ideations, my fear is my family. Mainly my grandmother, cause she raised me but I still have ideations. You can love your family and have depression and ideations. Some days can be roses and the next day can be horrible. But yea I love my family and don't want to hurt them yet I find peace in not existing
Same here but it's my grandfather. Sometimes I think they would be better off without me but then remember that's probably just my brain trying to trick me.
Proof he would NOT end his life! He LOVED his family! WTH!
Murdered
i think he is murdered too, but this is definetely not an argument. so sorry to say. But I know someone who killed himself (he actually DID) and he loved his son. His son is a friend of mine and told me the whole story. he had 2 more sons with another wife but he left EVERYTHING for him only. He was 90% of the dedication in his death letter, the guy fucking loved his son. So just saying, the world goes way more beyond that argument you were stating about why he didn't commited suicide. I do think Chris is killed by something else or someone else than just himself or depression or drugs, let's make that clear
So people who kill themselves don't love their family ? Such ignorant comments.
Even when u awake bruh ur shadow is still there
Good interview, creating the subtext for him to follow, not trying to showboat his knowledge; just creating an environment for hime to talk and say what he feels about certain subjects.
Yep, thats how it works. Now, all on here that is depressed, well, we should I guess go get some BENZOS , some HEIRONand shoot up that then hang our selves
I love how he ended the interview :)
RIP Chris. that's a bad Zao jacket awesome band.
All i can say to every problem in this life is to trust in Jesus Christ... seek him with all your heart! and you find him.
Lavador Sizemore I respect your views, and sincerity. However, as a former "born again" God fearing man, now being Theistic Agnostic, and taking a step outside of "religion" I see more Clearly... what life is!! I believe in ME! Not arrogantly, but I have put accountability for the success or lack of on myself. Again, I'm Agnostic, not Atheist. Huge difference. I don't believe, however I dont just close off the idea of God. I respect Christ as well as Christians like you who share the gospel without condemnation. I have zero respect for Christians who deny their faith in front of others, or get pissed of you don't believe THEIR ways. Same with Atheists. Many of them do the same thing. Anyway, I hope you've found happiness in your faith, but always keep an open mind. Thank you
Terry Headley Agnosticism is a statement that one does not have knowledge or satisfactory proof a “god”, whereas atheism is the lack of _belief_ in any deity, not the denial of the existence of a “god.” In other words agnosticism and atheism address different concepts. One can be an agnostic _and_ an atheist (or as I prefer, “non-theist” as the term doesn’t have the same baggage as “atheist”) simultaneously. Not trying to lecture or hector you, just trying to share information. Peace.
romans 1 god shows himself in nature,you have NO excuse, accept gods general revelation and Jesus will show himself to you more intimately,you were never born again in the first place,you just heard someone say You must be born again. www.equip.org
T seikert Those are just words in a book. You only have a _belief_ in their divine significance, nothing more. Your argument has no more validity than any other proselytizing religionist’s, be it a Muslim, Mormon or Jehovah’s Witness.

What date was this recorded? PS - This should be a goddamn requirement when posting videos to TH-cam. We need a time stamp goddammit!
It was April 4, 2009. I've posted additional details in a separate comment.
No I don't believe that.
Excellent interview!
I found it very amusing that so many people overlook what he said the first minute of this tape. This is what they do (they tell you the truth in the form of a semi-joke).
I was just scrolling through the comments to see if anyone else picked up on it...HAHA Chris Cornell (Real name Christopher John Boyle) Changed his name to Chris Cornell in order to be accepted into the masonic cult that runs pretty much all entertainment and politics
Chris Cornell- CC= 33 in numerology
Hidden in plain sight...I had noticed that the most recent pictures of CC looked rather odd, maybe plastic surgery?? but CC didn't seem like a very vain man... I started watching old 90's footage with CC and I noticed how much different he looked back when he was young. His lips and eyes were much different than the interviews I saw when he started Audioslave. If you go and look his top lip became strangely paper thin and his eyes got smaller and turned crystal blue.
As he has aged, and since coming back to Soundgarden, you can tell that he is the same person in Audioslave, but older...Since 2015 his look has become drastically different. In fact, when I first heard the news of his death, the most recent pictures of him had me doing a complete double take...To the point where I started comparing google images and I realized that something wasn't right here
I am a huge Soundgarden and Audioslave fan... I haven't really kept up on him since the Audioslave days but now I find myself (along with many others) listening to his newer work and really enjoying it. So Im not here to bash CC or anything like that...But there is something seriously weird about this whole thing and when I clicked this Interview, I was intentionally looking for some clues...
And right off the bat he just unloads the truth....If you notice he never laughs, not even once...just a smug grin and a tiny hint of sarcasm...The only person who nervously starts to laugh is the rookie interviewer...Awkward as hell, and oh how they love to mock you right in front of your face!!! LOL SMH
Shout out out RussianVids...Check out his channel sometime ;)
Peace
Exactly and I find it interesting, in the last couple of days, on both the imdb.com and biography.com websites, they include in their bio of him: "After his parents' divorce (the children adopted their mother's maiden name, Cornell)," BUT THEN WHY IS HIS BROTHER PETER STILL GOING BY BOYLE IF THIS IS TRUE!?
HAHA Good catch... Who knows what the truth is, the masses don't care anyways lol...Certainly interesting tho
Its insane! There are a few signals going on.
Remember the video "Blow up the outside world"? Thats MK Ultra at its best; and have u heard outshined lyrics? (Awesome song btw) but particularly strange; Black Hole Sun lyrics are suspicious also; CC made many references on his songs to snakes and butterflies, in Black Hole Sun's video the girl who is tanning has reptil tounge; there's also one song "Get on the snake" it says Get on the snake where u never will believe, my heart is bleeding, Im dying to leave, Get on the snake, with a suicide machine. ¿?
Of course his songs can have different interpretations, but If he was a suicidal, he could've done it like 20 years ago when his addiction was fucked up.
In every song you can see references about... but I found them more as creepy, controled messages than actually suicidal, like Alice in Chains' for example.
I dont know, everything is very weird, but I just share my clues with u guys, hope we can know what really happened.
Still such a terrible lost.
This is utter insanity.
Misss this dude? Seen him 4 times!!
listen to the song Ghosts: "Searching for a mirror, that would show the world not who you are, but who you wanna be." He had a history of depression. There's many quotes about it. I believe he was really trying to shed his dark past but the damn thing came back with a vengeance :( What a sweet soul. I hope he can finally rest in peace. I miss him.
except he wasn't depressed....so?!
yeah ok cuz you lived in his head...95% of his songs were related to depression...so you must be a fool to deny that
Spashaei, Dude, I didn't know him really well, but I knew him enough to know that he doesn't fit the profile of someone who is battling depression. I mean, the guy was so down to earth that he would just talk to you all day long about whatever. That is, before one of his handlers would arrive on the scene and rip him away from you. You can ask anyone in Seattle and they'll tell you the same thing. Except, that is, those disc jockeys from the local radio stations who were purposely putting out misinfo right after he supposedly died.
So if Chris knew and understood the consequences, why would he off himself? This doesn’t make sense. He was either murdered or someone told him to off himself or else his family would suffer. It’s one or the other. Chris did not commit suicide. I’m still mourning his loss to this day.
I always wondered about Soundgarden’s music catalog and Chris just answers it!!
Thank you for posting this video!!!
I don't think he was so much depressed. He may have had anxiety related to ADHD. Hence the meds.
Weird. I used Chris Cornell on one of these "Paul is Dead" youtube threads to point out that a person can appear different relative heights from one photo to the next. So weird that he'd reference that.
I was thinking the same thing when he brought up Paul.
Y’all are so damn delusional. He was being sarcastic you dimwits
Bad journalism. If you're interviewing a famous person who says "I've jumped out of a 10 story window onto a tree" and you don't follow up on that you're just not doing your job.
It's Chris Cornell. Probably was a bit nervous 😬
Silence is bliss. He did that. So when he spoke. They listened.
sometimes people hind there pain
Rip brother
R.I.P.!!!!!
bottom line to it all is that we all have our demons big or small,sounds like he had a great heart for his family..r.i.p
Enjoying the word I learned through them and I am going to observe the red out of this!
Ok from what I think happened hearing that Martin Kristen went up to his room to fix his Apple TV. Who is trying to fix their T.V. minutes before hanging themselves? I think Martin man handled him choked him out and staged the scene after that Martin went back to his room or wherever waited for the call from Vicky and started to kick down the door and explained himself to the hotel workers in a state of panic and worry some for Cornell. After that Vicky gets Chris's money and Martin gets a cut as well. From this interview it seems that he would never leave his children behind. Nobody will ever know exactly kinda like Cobain.
Andrew Cook yes!!! Definitely. He was killed. They covered up. T BODYGUARD and Vicky are behind this and for money! Justice!!!!
Rocking the Zao hoodie!
Very intelligent & insightful but these traits are no match for gut-wrenching depression which cannot be outrun by even our best thinking.
what was he depressed about? he had fucking everything.
Unfortunately, having everything does not make you immune to mental illness or any other affliction that also affects people who don't have everything. Depression is pervasive and non-discriminatory. It can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, race, or social status. That's why the saying "money can't buy happiness" will always be circulating around. It's the truth.
jonsilence deep thinking individuals are more prone to suffer from depression and anxiety.They hide it very well.
Sticksbass youre a fucking idiot shut up
ppp
When a person dies, should not be discussed, unless it is good stuff.
I can tell you no matter what you have in your life kids love whatever… when suffering and addiction or whatever you call them, are so strong, nothing else matters, everything is dull and bland.
Suicide is comfort.
I know I come from a very dark place that I still visit sometimes.
Thanks Julien Lewis....Weird but I tapped on to your comment!! I am so glad to read what you wrote! I know his death was just a very bad accident. My boyfriend died the same way a year ago...he was a drummer and he was depressed ...long story ..not gonna get into it, but he didn't want to die depression and the drugs he was on cause he had cancer took over...cant explain but I can relate to your words. He actually met chris!! we both loved him. I guess now maybe they are hanging out in heaven jamming out! thanks for making me feel better!!! XO
Nowadays I wish I could enjoy a Chris Cornell video without the crazy conspiracy theories in the comments.
It's truly annoying.

Me too.
Niaj4. Do your proper research. This is clearly a homicide case.
@@seattlerain4444 they aren't interested in information (truth) and then justice. They just want to enjoy a video.
Temple of the the dog shot Chris to stardom. That's when we heard his voice. Still have my Soungarden tapes.
Studying wondering gives it power to rise

Chris starts off by saying he is an actor and taller by 3 inches....umm I literally have always wondered if he grew later in life, cuz he looks way taller than he did back in the day

Chris cornell was not depressed. he was not murdered and he did not relapse(of this i can't be sure of and i think we should support Vicky Cornell in her search for the truth of what happened). But in my opinion Chris was most likely in a psychosis when he killed himself.
Chris Cornell had a torn shoulder from a biking injury. he fell off his bike a little while before his death. He couldn't sleep well if at all for months because of the pain. That's why he was on the prescription meds. you top that with a long tour and you're in a mess. A lack of sleep alone can put a person in to a psychosis. chris was under extreme circumstances. Touring with a torn shoulder with a lack of sleep night after night giving his all on stage. nobody could take that kind of beating for long. Sleep is so essential to our well being. a few days we can handle. but when you don't sleep for weeks or months, nobody is able to take that without consequence. I've been in a psychosis and all it took was a few nights without proper sleep to fall in to one. it can happen to anyone. Now the Ativan may have played a role(probably did), and even too much coffee could have(everything ads up), but the main reason was lack of sleep and extreme fatigue and stress induced psychosis. chris's downfall was he was an over achiever and a perfectionist. He didn't take a brake when he should have. Soundgarden should have never gone on tour with chris's state of health 🙁
This makes sense instead of the conspiracy theories.
Question remains though; did Chris willingly go on tour with his injury, or was there push from the labels? I suppose the first because one of the conditions on which Soundgarden reunited was that they could do everything on their own terms without record companies bossing them around.
He DID sound really great on that last tour (check the fort Myers gig).
I guess he really was a workaholic and didn't know his limits, but the label thing should not be overlooked IMO.
However i do think he relapsed and his doctor should be looked into, you don't prescribe someone addictive drugs when he/she has had a substance abuse problem earlier in their lives. This doesn't make me think any less of Chris, we're all human and we all have our weaknesses.
Like you said, everything probably just added up to 1 terrible moment.
Still amazing what he gave to the world, his music is ours to listen to forever. R.I.P.
Yes, OP. This is what I have concluded with Chris' unfortunate and early departure. A LOT of stress on tour and away from home, away from family and kids who he loved so much, lack of sleep, pain in his shoulders and back and he took too many Ativans and caffeine. (Ativan should never be prescribed for pain alone... He must have also been prescribed it for an anxiety disorder as well which I personally do not believe Ativan was the best that DR put him on for a recovering addict. Ativan is pretty strong. Clonazepam has less or fewer adverse side effects and largely considered the safest benzo. It's a little easier to get off of too)
***So it's already been reported that in a 7-9 day period he took more than half of his Ativan prescription. He Took 50 pills in a 9 day period....*** his wife said he was slurring his words and kept repeating "theres ringing in my head....this ringing in my head. I'm tired. Just tired" etc. Repetitive speech and slurring, and ringing in the ears/head are a few symptoms of the substance induced psychosis syndrome. (It can also be a withdrawal symptom.)
But Add all the above up and his prior depression issues and whatever was going on in his life and head at the time -can and -*-will-* likely result in a substance induced psychosis. It is a very real condition. Look it up "Substance induced psychosis" It is so easy to forget how many meds you've taken in a matter of couple of hours and eventually in a matter of minutes. I've personally experienced this and have tried to kill myself. With Ativan. I had been on it for 7 years for panic disorder and eventually it backfired on me and caused adverse reactions/side effects including suicidal ideation/ thoughts and depression and slowed me down. It's a central nervous depressant too. Luckily, I survived obviously. Some people claim to do way more than that and they say "but but but I was fine when I took xyz amount did this and that blablabla".... E-v-e-r-y-o-n-e is different and reacts differently on certain substances and it doesn't take much for people who become sensitive to a substance. Adverse reactions can happen AT ANY TIME AT ANY POINT... It really fucks with your head and thinking! I believe unfortunately that this happened to him. I wish I could have warned him or someone close to him had I'd known them! Because right when i first saw his music video for "Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart" in 2015 and his photo shoots for " This is Chris Cornell", I instantly knew something was very wrong with him and I knew that he wasn't feeling good at all on the inside...There were warning signs years prior to 2017... even I, as a simpleton fan of his for years my entire life. I knew he needed help...
I don't know the whole truth in everything that happened or anything really but just my opinion. R.I.P Sweet Chris. Loved and missed, dearly...
suicide isnt something that just pops in your head.
Actually, that's EXACTLY what it is. Suicude, like homicide, typically IS a last second decion. Suicide, typically happens after build up of (insert issues here), and commonly, when coupled with Drugs and or alcohol, builds up, and your judgement is clouded, your thoughts are obscured and you see no other way out. Typically anyway, sadly, yes it is a last second decision. Which is why suicide negotiators will get the potential victim to take time, and THINK , get your mind off of the shit that's wrenching at your gut. Same with someone who takes a hostage to kill. Hope that made sense to you
WOW, that comment sounds threatening ! WTF
No, I do not think Chris intentionally killed himself. Not buying the depression story.
M either. He was murdered
I mean he's been depressed for many many years and how come he killed himself now,after all these years of depression when he's old and has wife and three beautiful kids that he loves
His wife said that had he been of sound mind he wouldn't have killed himself.
nope. Cause he over dose and hung himself!!! Really?? I mean there is so ooo many that suffer with depression and if that was the case WE all be dead! C'on what the Fuck
@@foxonrunspotoneverywhere795 Again Totally Agree 1000%. Justice for Chris Cornell
I missed the spirituality bit
Mee too
Chris spoke about spirituality from 0 sec to 2:25.
That's not spirituality. That's talk about death. Not the same thing.
Who cares how any of it happened, IT IS HORRIBLE, that he is gone. Someone should have been there when he was in his time of dying! My heart aches for him but now he's free of this form.
TheHansgen We His Fans Care. Chris Cornell was Murdered. Justice for Chris Cornell. Rip Our Beautiful Rock Legend
Seems there is more here in the comments that know the truth on him killing himself and then yyou have the interneters out to make us with tin foil hats on just like that. THEY cannot out do this one , this one was far more the must utterly strange and DID NOT ADD UP> I am so glad I am skilled in the field of P.I. investigating, detective, medical, medicine, mental health, survival and knowing my tin foil hat help me in all these fields!!!!
I pray that He's in Paradise with His God The Lord Jesus Christ
RIP
Hello ! I'm translating this interview for French fans of Chris C (and I'm one), what is the name of the journalist ?
no one can bring people out of deep shit like that im heading there now
dingus malingus only Christ can
I'm confident he's an indigo spirit. I say "is" rather than was, because spirit is always.
People that still think that Chris was murdered...come on, he spoke about death constantly, look at the opening of this video, in other interviews where he speaks about the Grunge scene and the deaths over the years, his songs are all about death, a lot his idols even committed suicide like Sylvia Plath, Ian Kevin Curtis who even shares the same date death as Chris, he even said at one of his gigs that years ago he considered suicide but lucky enough hes still here.
This guy has toyed with the idea for years, personally I don't think he could even bare the thought of getting old too, Chris was quite a vain person and one of the reasons why Hiro Yamamoto said he left the band was because he couldn't bare Chris taking his shirt off at every single gig they done.
With Chris who always fantasized about death and the thought of getting old I personally think it all just all got too much for him, because lets be honest, he did have that iconic look like James Dean, Monroe etc, I thought he was gonna commit suicide back in 97, I'm amazed he lastest as long as he did.
@S M I personally don't think his wife had anything directly to do with his death, what I do think though that she knew Chris was mentally a vulnerable man and deliberately drove Chris nuts to then maybe commit suicide, I can believe that, in an interview with Rolling Stones magazine back in 1999 Chris admitted to a habit - “Something I’ve done since I was a kid- of opening windows and imagining what it would be like to jump"
He's toyed with the thought of suicide for years and I wasn't really shocked that he had finally called it a day.
you dont get defense wounds on the ribs because of CPR, remember that, that's what they said about chris in the autopsy yet I'm supposed to believe he killed himself
Can anyone else hear his accent so clearly or just me?
yep RIP chris......
Chris, people like us, are treated like shit and treated like religious statues. It’s really bizarre. A lot of folks are in trouble.
You think of all the people you partied with in your teens - I married my wife when I was 21 - but you get married, most of you, and you notice the guys who never had kids never grew up. You’ve got that baggage from your youth, like addiction, and that can fuck you up, but your best incentive to get over it is the effect it has on your family. Too bad it wasn’t enough, but he was on the right path. Sometimes you fuck up.
CHRIS CORNELL IS ALIVE , CHRIS CORNELL IS ALIVE 😇😇😍😍😍😍🗽😏
