Chris Cornell was an insane frontman. He could write his own music or cover prerry much anything and actually do the song justice. You don't see many musicians like him anymore. Its a damn shame he"s gone. His vocal range was off the chain too.
I was fortunate enough to see his solo acoustic show he toured with. It was a great showcase for his talent and personality. His voice was the voice of my youth and so many memories. Such a tragedy for all and especially his wife and kids that he's gone.
I was just going to suggest "Cochise"! But "Like A Stone" is so amazing, and so infused with emotion and spirit...it's one of those songs that I can just put on repeat and just FEEL it for whatever length of time I need. Love, regret, patience, hope, sadness, spirituality...this song helps me connect to it all.
As a black man at 58 I can truly say Chris Cornell was one of the greatest singers of all times. He took modern day rock music to a whole new era with his voice and the world and music industry is not the same without him.
The gutarist is Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine Chris grabbed when Sound Garden decided to go their seperate ways. Chris Cornell is the Frontman/ vocalist for both bands but the Guitarist for Sound Garden was Kym Thyle another really talented but underrated guitarist in my Opinion. Both groups held their own so you won't disapointted listening to either group.
I liked his comment in the reaction for "Killing in the Name of" guitar solo its not clear he's aware its the same guitarist. Also wondering how he'd feel about Soundgarden.
It's a VERY crowded place in the top 5/10. Freddie Mercury, George Michaels, Brad Delp, Bruce Dickerson, Prince, Micheal Jackson, etc. etc. Might have to split into genres just to get everyone(15-30) in the top 10. When it comes to the Grunge era I can't readily think of anyone else, Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder comes close but not better than Chris.
That "he" is Tom Morello from RATM. Audioslave was a project of large name musicians of the time. Another band in a similar vein is A Perfect Circle, where a few musicians from different bands get together for a few albums. I suggest Judith, The Noose, or their cover of Imagine.
Tom Morello on the guitar is a prime example of doing more with less. He uses a single amp and a very small pedalboard setup, and has for his entire career. Many rock guitarists use 2-3x as much gear as he does but can't pull the level of style and originality out of their setups that he can. He just knows every aspect of his gear inside and out and has a really creative mind. Dude is a legend.
It’s a shame people don’t look at songs meaning anymore. This is a great example of storytelling, Chris is singing about losing everyone he loves and just sitting waiting for death to come for him. Cornell was amazing!
It's way sadder than that i think. I think he's talking about the end of his life, begging for God to finally hear his cries. In "your house" I long to be. He feels like God left Him and in his end he still begs . I dunno, i might be wrong, but that's what i think it's about.
@@gaseredtune5284 that was my interpretation as well. It felt like such a manifestation of my own feelings when I was younger, really struggling with mental illness and other things but heavily religious at the time and basically just at the end of my rope begging god to end my life so I could be with him instead. No longer religious and doing much better these days, but this song resonated so much with me at the time
His lyrics are fire. "On a cobweb afternoon in a room full of emptiness by a freeway I confess I was lost in the pages of a book full of death". Probably a lot of ways to interpret that, but for me it's imagery of a guy who's mind isn't in the right place, depressed, and thinking non-stop about suicide (Chris Cornell ended up committing suicide in 2017). He was also the lead singer of Soundgarden. Hopefully you have some of that in your playlist. I was in my 20s living in Seattle when Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, etc emerged. I fucking love this music.
I think he is referring to the Bible when referring to “a book full of death”. It’s kind of like looking back on your life without a monotheistic mindset but simply trying to be a good person and to make amends when you can. Just my opinion.
“No seasoning playlist” is fucking hilarious! 😂 Chris was really in a league of his own - it’s awesome to see people still being introduced to him and the musicians he worked with.
Tom Morello on the guitar. Pretty well known from Rage Against the Machine, and for pioneering a lot of unique guitar tricks. He'd play with the feedback on the guitar/amp to make a lot of those crazy sounds
His voice is so beautiful, melodic, and haunting. He is an instrument that elevates all other sounds around him. A true artist that all of the world will always miss. 😢 RIP Chris! Thank you for your gift to the world!
I love that just like Rage doesn't waste a second of their time on a track, you don't waste a second of our time on a vid. Just pure, 100% enthusiasm and reaction, front to back, with no filler. Don't change that when you inevitably get huge. ;)
Yo Rob, if u liked this song by Audioslave, might I recommend giving en ear to "Show me how to live" by them, in which u can really feel all of Chris´s voice power!! Keep it coming king! Amazing content as usual!!
that sound you hear in certain riff is what we rockers commonly refer to as "making her cry" referring to the guitar and how its sounds so damnnnnn goooodddddd
I LOVE Audioslave. They were amazing. R.I.P. Chris Cornel. He has some of the best vocals out there. The world lost an amazing talent when he took his own life.
Rob, you definitely need to take a listen to, Hunger Strike by Temple of the dog. It specifically consists of Chris Cornell (lead singer of audioslave) and Eddie veddar of pearl jam
You gotta do "show me how to live" or "Cochise" by Audioslave to hear Chris' full power in his range. Incredible band. The guitarist is Tom Morello, the bassist is Tim Commerford (Timmy C) and the drummer is Brad Wilk. I recommend reading the Wikipedia page for new bands you like, that's what I do when I discover a new band lol
I'm sure it's been said before but this is actually 2 super famous 90s bands. Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell and the band from Rage Against the Machine joined forces and briefly took over the world. Chris, while singing for Soundgarden on the Superunknown album I think, sung so hard he ripped his vocal chords. Chris was deeply tormented by depression. It finally claimed his life after an overdose of Ativan.
I've had this song on my current playlist since it came out. Never been dropped. I was a black girl in a Canadian high school in the 90s. My playlist was vast.
Definitely check out Chris Cornell's cover of "Nothing Compares to You". The song was written by Prince, originally recorded by Sinead O'Connor and mastered by Chris.
@@RxDoc2010 Never released as a single, but was it not on an album? I remember hearing a prince version when i was a kid, but i could be misremembering.
his cover of "nothing compared to you" and "billy jean" will make you weep ....straight up . his voice is all of our hearts bereaking at one point....... man was a special kind of angel
If you want to hear Chris Cornell at his peak check "outshined" by Soundgarden. Also it'd be cool to see some Alice in Chains reactions it'd be hard to say where to start as their first two albums are loaded with amazing songs "Dam that river" is my favourite but there's no music video just an album cover but I can't get enough of it.
Love how you appreciate Morello and Cornell right away! For Pearl Jam got to do MTV black version and then also Rooster or Man in the Box from Alice in Chains.
Total banger, this one is. Chris Cornell was such a talent. Thanks for reacting to this. Hopefully you check out Black Hole Sun or Spoon Man from his Soundgarden days.
If you have the time, the song "Doesn't Remind Me" by Audioslave has been a long time favorite of mine. The video still kills me to this day. Good react stuff btw!
Man, my favorite part of your videos is knowing what’s coming and waiting for your reaction to it. You did not disappoint with the end of that guitar solo, fantastic. Keep it up!
I remember hearing this song for the first time at a gas station and I just couldn't move. I couldn't leave until it was done. I was frozen into place. The sadness, longing and hauntingness of the vocals/lyrics and the unique sound and vibe of the guitar and the rest of the band made me feel like it was disrespectful to move. To this day whenever I hear this song somewhere 'out in the wild' I stop to listen. I owe it that, for some reason. The only other song I have this with is Sinead o' Connor's Troy. They are both on the heavy side though. As a sidenote: I later found out the clip/video was shot in Jimi Hendrix's old apartment as on ode to him. If you ever get to listen to the intro of Voodoo Child please do! (or other songs by him) He is def one of THE guitar heroes of all time, inspiring so, so many greats of later generations.
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! Your reactions are so honest and heartfelt!! So glad you have discovered some of the best artists of my generation. You love that guitar solo cause thats your boy Tom Morello!!!! Keep it up my friend.
damn man, I loved this song from when I first heard it, but you've managed to give me a new appreciation of it haha. I also didn't know until today that Audioslave was made up of musicians from Soundgarden and Rage Against The Machine, which are both pretty high up there for me haha, hope you get to enjoy more of their tracks in this series
My man. Love your channel. Please, please, please do a deep dive into Audioslave, and Sound Garden, and Chris Cornell as a solo artist. One of the best voices of our time. He could do it all. You won't regret it. Also, Tom Morello, the guitarist is the same cat from Rage Against The Machine.
Yes, this song is unequivocally better than I Write Sins Not Tragedies by PATD!. That's not to say the other song isn't good, but these are seasoned artists at the top of their game releasing their debut track. They're also totally different genres of music.
I was lost in the pages Of a book full of death Reading how we'll die alone its so heartbreaking as a fan to hear someone mentally and spiritually dying inside and not being able to do anything about it.
I needed this when playing Tony Hawk back in the day! Could you imagine pulling tricks to this!? My ass would still be spinning off of a ramp to this day if I had this 🔥
I love watching people, raised or educated (musically) in one genre of music, who then discover other genres. Metalheads reacting to hip-hop, rap fans reacting to 90's alternative; it makes me happy to see someone begin to appreciate something new, the lightbulbs turning on. Great stuff. As others have mentioned, the guitarist, Tom Morello, is also in Rage Against the Machine, but so are the bassist (Tim Commerford) and drummer (Brad Wilk). Audioslave is basically RATM with Chris Cornell as the frontman instead of Zach de la Rocha.
It's so exciting to watch people experience some of this music for the 1st time! I saw the vid 1st where he realizes Morello is in Rage too 😎 Legends of rock 🤘🏼
If you’re looking for more suggestions Alice In Chains would be a great listen. I think you can hear and feel the same type of emotion that comes through in the lead singers voice
Great reaction!! You won't hear many vocalists, that have the sound and range of Chris Cornell (RIP...CC). If you want to hear more of his stuff, you should check out Cochise, Show Me How To Live, Spoonman, The Day I Tried To Live, Fell on Black Days and Burden In My Hand..to start. And...if you want to have your mind blown, check out his cover of Billie Jean (by Michael Jackson) and Nothing Compares To You(by Prince). See what you think.
Bruh. I just found you here, this is the third video of yours I'm watching... as a certified white boy, your "No Seasonings Playlist" got me f***in dyin' 🤣🤣🤣 Much love to ya, and looking forward to sharing your musical journey ✌️
I'd recommend 'Show Me How To Live' and 'I am The Highway', also by Audioslave. 'I Am The Highway' is a little slower, but it have a haunting beauty, and they don't let you down with the melody.
I have never viewed the music video for this song, though I've grooved to the song for a long, long time. Thanks for giving me a new view from a couple ways, of this song.
White boy here, randomly suggested your channel while listening to some white boy shit at the gym. I love watching people who don’t normally listen to the music I grew up with. Since your listening to this song, I’ll suggest “Iris” by the Goo Goo Dolls. It’s another emotional one. Coheed and Cambria as well but I can’t suggest one of those because most of them have a different sound. Keep up the good work, instant sub from me!
This is the first time I came across your channel and I appreciate your energy and understanding of the music. I highly recommend giving a listen to "I am the Highway" by Audioslave. One of my all time favorites
Seeing this as your first of Toms guitar riff experience is awesome. Watching you discover more of his amazingness is such a wonderful thing to witness.
My husband has been practicing the acoustic version. I don’t think I’ve ever actually heard this one, lol! 🤣🤣🤣 …musically I was focused elsewhere around when Audioslave originally came out. 🤷♀️ Glad your second song was a good one. 🤘
GREAT REACTIONS, MAN!!! If you like Audioslave's stuff - Cochise is a MUST HEAR, as far as I'm concerned....and, the video is FIRE!!!! GREAT to see you diversifying and growing!! Enjoying your channel! HUGS! ❤❤❤❤
PLEASE PLEASE DO "SAY HELLO TO HEAVEN" LIVE AT THE MOORE!!!!!I GAURANTEE YOULL BE BLOWN AWAY. SAME SINGER FROM THIS BAND( CHRIS CORNELL). TEARS ARE A GARAUNTEE
listen to everything by Chris Cornell and Rage Against the Machine, i grew up with them. when they said they were making a Super Band, i lost my shit. i saw them in 2005 amazing show. RIP Chris Cornell.
This wasn't the first video of yours that I saw but the way you reacted to the guitar solo is what made me sub to your channel man you're amazing love your perspective on this music that I've been hearing my whole life
Love this series of video's! Really Appreciate the raw and honest reactions... Really fulfilling to see younger folks experiencing songs like this for the first time and flashing back to that feeling of having this song wash over me and the vocal and guitar sound reach right down into your chest and grab you. RIP Chris Cornell, your music lives on inspiring and moving folks.
I have a very specific memory of the first time I heard this song, which makes it even closer for me. In 2017 my wife passed away without warning. We were living in North Carolina, but we are from Michigan. I decided to have the memorial in Michigan, so it was me and my sister-in-law driving from North Carolina back in the car when I first heard the song. I somehow had not heard it before then, but for her, she felt this song so strongly in that moment, and she wanted me to hear it. Now, every time I hear the song I remember that painful drive back home with my sister-in-law and my wife’s ashes. It’s a bitter sweet feeling, but I’ll never forget that moment so this song has so much more meaning for me. I remember this whenever I talk about how powerful music can be.
That whole album is killer. I didn’t like it all that much at first, but the more I played it the better it got until I… Just. Couldn’t. Stop. RIP Chris.
Oh, he's in for a treat with this guitarist. I've been going through Rob's back catalog of videos and I love how drawn he is to Morello's guitar sound, a lot of times without even knowing.
We lost Chris way too soon. That voice 😭 Check out his earlier stuff with Soundgarden. Black Hole Sun is a good place to start but The Day I Tried to Live is my personal fave.
First time fan as of today. I love that you are expanding your mind into a much wider range of music. The lead singer of this is also in Soundgarden... Lissen Listen to Blackhole Sun. Will blow your mind.
RIP Chris Cornell
😔 I miss Chris
Don't make me cry, bruh :( Also, cute doggo >.
No idea....
I still can't believe it. It wrecks me every time I remember he's gone.
@@bjcee1108 me too 😪 he was special an amazing voice.
"He's already invited to the cook-out"
This hurt so much to hear. Miss you, Chris

He even did a GREAT pop-dance album.
Rest in Peace, Chris. No one sings like you anymore.

@@andrade2129 what was that one?
The first single Audioslave ever released - Cochise - check it out. It’s fucking incredible, it’ll blow your fucking mind
YES! The official video. Audioslave is the band from Rage Against the Machine with Chris on vocals.
I had to try sing that in a covers band.....yeah it wasnt pleasant for all concerned 😂 my range was good but his is in space some where
Entire album is 🔥
facts
I was just going to suggest "Cochise"! But "Like A Stone" is so amazing, and so infused with emotion and spirit...it's one of those songs that I can just put on repeat and just FEEL it for whatever length of time I need.

The whole band except Chris is RAtM.
Always suspected as much, but the rest of the band too?? Daaaamn, Chris did a full sweep on this. No wonder Audioslave was such a banger band.
Yes!!! Check out “Bulls on Parade” he does this sweet DJ scratch on the guitar that is soooo bad ass!!!
"Like a Stone" was the first song I heard by them, but I love "Show Me How to Live" for the instruments and "I Am the Highway" for the lyrics.
100% agree. Don’t know why those two aren’t as popular if not more when it comes to reactions
@@kevinVersus they really should be but they get overlooked way too much. I Am the Highway is one of my favorite songs ever from a lyrical standpoint.
"I Am the Highway" is the BEST
Big agree on I am the highway
The music video for *"Show Me How to Live"* 🔥🤨😳🚔😎🎸🤯🙂🔥
Chris Cornell remains one of the top 10 male vocalists ever! RIP
Top 5, maybe 3
It's a VERY crowded place in the top 5/10.
Freddie Mercury, George Michaels, Brad Delp, Bruce Dickerson, Prince, Micheal Jackson, etc. etc.

AudioSlave is in a category I gave them which is SOUL ROCK. They had so much Soul for a rock band. That's the best way how I can describe their music
Audioslave is post-grunge.
Tom Morello on the guitar. Pretty well known from Rage Against the Machine, and for pioneering a lot of unique guitar tricks. He'd play with the feedback on the guitar/amp to make a lot of those crazy sounds

My man. Love your channel. Please, please, please do a deep dive into Audioslave, and Sound Garden, and Chris Cornell as a solo artist. One of the best voices of our time. He could do it all. You won't regret it. Also, Tom Morello, the guitarist is the same cat from Rage Against The Machine.
Yes, this song is unequivocally better than I Write Sins Not Tragedies by PATD!. That's not to say the other song isn't good, but these are seasoned artists at the top of their game releasing their debut track. They're also totally different genres of music.
I was lost in the pages
Of a book full of death
Reading how we'll die alone
its so heartbreaking as a fan to hear someone mentally and spiritually dying inside and not being able to do anything about it.
I needed this when playing Tony Hawk back in the day! Could you imagine pulling tricks to this!? My ass would still be spinning off of a ramp to this day if I had this 🔥
I love watching people, raised or educated (musically) in one genre of music, who then discover other genres. Metalheads reacting to hip-hop, rap fans reacting to 90's alternative; it makes me happy to see someone begin to appreciate something new, the lightbulbs turning on. Great stuff.
As others have mentioned, the guitarist, Tom Morello, is also in Rage Against the Machine, but so are the bassist (Tim Commerford) and drummer (Brad Wilk). Audioslave is basically RATM with Chris Cornell as the frontman instead of Zach de la Rocha.
I'm surprised you never listened this masterpiece before. Audoslave was (ans still) is a great band... RIP the vocalist Q.Q
It's so exciting to watch people experience some of this music for the 1st time! I saw the vid 1st where he realizes Morello is in Rage too 😎 Legends of rock 🤘🏼
If you’re looking for more suggestions Alice In Chains would be a great listen. I think you can hear and feel the same type of emotion that comes through in the lead singers voice
MTV unplugged is unmatched and where Layne and Jerry's amazing harmonies really come out clear
100%
He'll probably get so amped off of Them Bones that he might destroy something in the studio 🤣
I have a 98% rate of confidence that you’ll love ‘Pardon Me’ by Incubus
Great reaction!! You won't hear many vocalists, that have the sound and range of Chris Cornell (RIP...CC). If you want to hear more of his stuff, you should check out Cochise, Show Me How To Live, Spoonman, The Day I Tried To Live, Fell on Black Days and Burden In My Hand..to start. And...if you want to have your mind blown, check out his cover of Billie Jean (by Michael Jackson) and Nothing Compares To You(by Prince). See what you think.
Bruh. I just found you here, this is the third video of yours I'm watching... as a certified white boy, your "No Seasonings Playlist" got me f***in dyin' 🤣🤣🤣
Much love to ya, and looking forward to sharing your musical journey ✌️
the whole album is a banger if you're ever in the mood for similar tunes
I love how you love music and are giving some of my fave rock songs a listen
Chris Cornell’s first band ‘soundgarden’ blows audioslave out of the water. Check ‘em out.
RIP Chirs Cornell, there will never be another as amazing as you. Even Ozzy said you had the best Rock voice ever.
"That type of desolate fucked up spot"
"You can hear the real pain in that man"
That fucked me up a lil bit
I'd recommend 'Show Me How To Live' and 'I am The Highway', also by Audioslave. 'I Am The Highway' is a little slower, but it have a haunting beauty, and they don't let you down with the melody.
Omg Thank you my man. I have always said the same thing on the guitar bro. It’s absolutely incredible by itself
Invited to the cookout?!?🤦♀
Sheeet, Chris bringin the potato salad!💯💯
I have never viewed the music video for this song, though I've grooved to the song for a long, long time. Thanks for giving me a new view from a couple ways, of this song.
White boy here, randomly suggested your channel while listening to some white boy shit at the gym. I love watching people who don’t normally listen to the music I grew up with. Since your listening to this song, I’ll suggest “Iris” by the Goo Goo Dolls. It’s another emotional one.
Coheed and Cambria as well but I can’t suggest one of those because most of them have a different sound.
Keep up the good work, instant sub from me!
This is the first time I came across your channel and I appreciate your energy and understanding of the music.
I highly recommend giving a listen to "I am the Highway" by Audioslave. One of my all time favorites
Seeing this as your first of Toms guitar riff experience is awesome. Watching you discover more of his amazingness is such a wonderful thing to witness.
Was lucky enough to be at one of Soundgardens last shows before he left us forever, his voice was absolutely on point, RIP Chris, forever loved 🖤
My husband has been practicing the acoustic version. I don’t think I’ve ever actually heard this one, lol! 🤣🤣🤣 …musically I was focused elsewhere around when Audioslave originally came out. 🤷♀️ Glad your second song was a good one. 🤘
GREAT REACTIONS, MAN!!! If you like Audioslave's stuff - Cochise is a MUST HEAR, as far as I'm concerned....and, the video is FIRE!!!! GREAT to see you diversifying and growing!! Enjoying your channel! HUGS! ❤❤❤❤
PLEASE PLEASE DO "SAY HELLO TO HEAVEN" LIVE AT THE MOORE!!!!!I GAURANTEE YOULL BE BLOWN AWAY. SAME SINGER FROM THIS BAND( CHRIS CORNELL). TEARS ARE A GARAUNTEE
I love seeing songs I love, like this one, through your eyes. It's like listening to them for the first time, it gives me goosebumps. Thanks dude.
listen to everything by Chris Cornell and Rage Against the Machine, i grew up with them. when they said they were making a Super Band, i lost my shit. i saw them in 2005 amazing show. RIP Chris Cornell.
This wasn't the first video of yours that I saw but the way you reacted to the guitar solo is what made me sub to your channel man you're amazing love your perspective on this music that I've been hearing my whole life
Love this series of video's! Really Appreciate the raw and honest reactions... Really fulfilling to see younger folks experiencing songs like this for the first time and flashing back to that feeling of having this song wash over me and the vocal and guitar sound reach right down into your chest and grab you.
RIP Chris Cornell, your music lives on inspiring and moving folks.
I’m listened to this music, my whole life watching you Listen to it to the first time makes it feel like the first time. I appreciate you bro.
I'm glad you listened to this amazing combination before he died and as you love the Rage members.
I have a very specific memory of the first time I heard this song, which makes it even closer for me. In 2017 my wife passed away without warning. We were living in North Carolina, but we are from Michigan. I decided to have the memorial in Michigan, so it was me and my sister-in-law driving from North Carolina back in the car when I first heard the song. I somehow had not heard it before then, but for her, she felt this song so strongly in that moment, and she wanted me to hear it. Now, every time I hear the song I remember that painful drive back home with my sister-in-law and my wife’s ashes. It’s a bitter sweet feeling, but I’ll never forget that moment so this song has so much more meaning for me. I remember this whenever I talk about how powerful music can be.
Great that you featured the video with the song. It's iconic.
Rest in eternal peace, Chris.
Thanks to you l was able to relive my first experience! Wish I could have been there!.., to have heard the beginning of the tour!
Chris Cornell. Rest in Peace my friend.
That whole album is killer. I didn’t like it all that much at first, but the more I played it the better it got until I… Just. Couldn’t. Stop. RIP Chris.
Oh, he's in for a treat with this guitarist. I've been going through Rob's back catalog of videos and I love how drawn he is to Morello's guitar sound, a lot of times without even knowing.
We lost Chris way too soon. That voice 😭 Check out his earlier stuff with Soundgarden. Black Hole Sun is a good place to start but The Day I Tried to Live is my personal fave.
I love this song. And Chris Cornell and the rest of Audioslave. They're with me along the way somany years.
First time fan as of today. I love that you are expanding your mind into a much wider range of music. The lead singer of this is also in Soundgarden... Lissen Listen to Blackhole Sun. Will blow your mind.
