I just was going to say the same, Prince is almost untouchable. But Chris and Sinead gave this song different lives in different ways. If I’m not mistaken, this was either the last or one of the last things Chris ever did. It still makes me cry. Because they were thinking of someone they loved in a complicated way in their own way.
I rescued 2 feral kittens a few years back and the day I caught them was May 17th. I named the female kitten Josephine (after Chris' song) and the little boy is Chester. They are still living with me today
They were murdered because of the work they were doing helping children and they were making a documentary about child trafficking. Tony podesta is Chester's father. quit being sheep
Isn't that ironic?? No pun intended for sure... I heard a story about why they both died..., not sure if it's true, but I believe it. What a waste of such beautiful souls!!!😢 I love this song though. It hurts to hear it but I love the pain I guess 😢
Love Chris. He was the voice of a generation. He was the lead singer for Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, and Audioslave. He did several solo projects and songs for several soundtracks. I hope you continue listening to more. I don't think you'd be disappointed. Chris and Chester Bennington from Linkin Park were good friends, you should check out Linkin Parks performance of One More Light on the Jimmy Kimmel show, they dedicated it to Chris right after his passing. Chester passed two months later on Chris's birthday. Both gone way to soon.
What's the history of temple of the dog? I heard it was like the members of mother love bone and pearl jam both got together with chris cornell and formed the band as like tribute for Andrew the lead singer of mother love bone who died. Is this true?
‘Legend!! You have to check on him covering Michael Jackson’s ‘Billie Jean’. It’s like Chris sang it first and then MJ did the retake/remix of it. It’s amazing.
I only ever knew Sinead O Connor's cover as a child, but as soon as I heard Chris's cover, it instantly became my favorite version!! Chris has one of my all time favorite voices!!! I miss this man more than words can say!
Billie Jean, Say Hello to Heaven, Like a Stone, Black Hole Sun, I Will Always Love You, Show Me How to Live, Hunger Strike and too many more to list!! ALL BANGERS!!! This man was incredibly talented and did some of the best covers I have ever heard. You have to react to Billy Jean….mind blowing 💯
His version of Billie Jean is so phenomenal that the first time I heard it, I replayed it 4X in a row. Taking a Michael Jackson song then putting it in a minor key was just beilkiant! I’m extremely partial to the studio version though, haven’t found a live performance of it that does justice to what he was able to do in studio
Seasons, When I'm Down, Beyond The Wheel, The Keeper, Cleaning My Gun, Slaves and Buldozers, Call Me A Dog, Scar On The Sky, Nothing To Say, Preaching The End Of The World, Fresh Deadly Roses, etc, etc, etc.. The man was ridiculoulsy dope
@@OhSnakesI love Preaching the End of the World and no one ever mentions that song! I been listening to Chris since Badmotorfinger came out when I was in high school. Loved Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Chris Cornell solo and Audioslave. He also sang on a song with Alice In Chains on the album Sap.
Chris was the front man for Temple of the Dog in the very early 90's, and "Say Hello to Heaven" is the song that truly embodies his 4 octave vocal range. The song was written for Andrew Wood, lead singer of Mother Love Bone, who tragically overdosed and passed. This was the very beginning of the grunge explosion. Temple of the Dog was composed of members from both Soundgarden and Pearl Jam, two of the greatest rock groups of all time.
I saw the notification when you posted this but it took me a day to actually watch it because his voice rips my heart to shreds 😢he was so good and is sooo missed ❤
Written by the late great Prince ❤ Made famous by Sinead O'Connor ❤❤ Hearts & Souls touched by Chris Cornell ❤❤❤ *RIP* Prince, Sinead O'Connor, & Chris Cornell* ❤❤❤❤
First time hearing Chris Cornell and I have to say..... WOW! I'll even say it backwards.... WOW! What an amazing, rich voice and I absolutely agree with you that the guy had SOUL. Thank you so much for bring this and exposing me to it. AND as always.... Great Reaction BP! You are the best.
As a gen xer I've been here for every incarnation of this iconic song. The Family, Prince, Sinead and Chris. Every one perfect. His voice is untouchable.
You have to watch two live videos, Linkin Park doing Crawling where Chris comes out and performs with them, and also Chris doing Hunger Strike where Chester comes out and performs with him. Its sad and beautiful
The note Chris hits so effortlessly as he walks out in that performance while Chester's veins are straining out of his neck, no shade intended towards Chester there btw, is unbelievable.
Best version on this song and RIP Chris Cornell. Truly one of the best voices ive ever heard honestly and he does it so effortless it seems . Its just amazing.
This has been my #1 band since’93 .. Chris Cornell has such a richness to his voice. Sucks you right in the moment he starts to sing. I fell apart at the news of his passing. 🥺 Miss you always, Chris ❤
BP you should react to his cover of "Billie Jean" the way he re-arranges and makes it his own. I think you would really enjoy it. Chris is my favorite of all time for male vocalist. He is awesome.
Check out, say hello to Heaven from Temple of the dog, which is also Chris Cornell lead singing for another emotional one. If you just want to see a straight up hard, rock tune, check out outshined, or Rusty Cage by Soundgarden, which is the band that Chris Cornell is most known for.
Nothing but love, appreciation, respect for Chris. I truly hope he finally found peace. 🙏🙏🙏 One of the all time great voices! Love this cover too, but Sinead still did it better.
🥰Beautiful reaction! Chris was on a whole other level when it came to singing... he isn't known as "the voice" of a generation for nothing!!😜❤ Anyway, to help you a bit as you embark on a Chris Cornell journey it is important for you to know Chris was the founder, lead singer and lyricist for 3 HUGE bands in the Grunge, Rock and Alternative Rock genres here's his bands... 1.) SOUNDGARDEN 2.) TEMPLE OF THE DOG (a one-time collab album in tribute to the late Andrew Wood)... it's an EPIC album and also was the catalyst for the band PEARL JAM forming!! 3.) AUDIOSLAVE Looking forward to seeing you experience the beauty and greatness of Chris' catalogue. Peace and light...✌💞 EDIT: Chris also has an extensive solo catalogue (this song is part of his solo endeavor). Another great one from his solo stuff is his cover of MJ's "BILLIE JEAN"... it's the same song, same lyrics but sung with a whole different affect... you will have the chills (in the best possible way😁)!!!
Cried hard when I heard Chris was gone. 1994 Big Day Out was my first Soundgarden experience. Wasn't my only one and his Songbook gigs were like sitting in his lounge room. He was awesome
He was the love of my life as far as rock stars go. I miss his voice. I wanted more. He would have been there he same age of my husband.he was a beautiful soul!
Since you’re feeling the country vibe from this, you should check out his other end of the spectrum and listen to Cochise (Audioslave). You’ll be shocked.
Right!?!?!?!!!!!! I still get chills and its happening now!!!!! Mmmmmm..... So good! You want more of these acoustic versions of music he loved to perform ✌️💙🎵
This is an acoustic grunge cover. He hailed from the Pacific Northwest - Seattle, Washington. I grew up 3 hours south from there, near Portland, Oregon. I feel so lucky to have had this music saturating my teenage years. Chris would often visit the alt-rock station I always listened to when he was in town. Loved those acoustic sets he did then. ❤😁
childhood crush. sound garden was one of my fave bands, but, i mean, he could do no wrong, i could listen to that voice forever. he passed a week before i was going to see Soundgarden😢💜
I think you'd definitely love his solo work When I'm Down. Probably one of the best examples of what he was capable of. Just him and a guy named Dennis playing piano. More like a bluesy piano lounge act. Live at the troubadour. I saw him perform that song at hangout music fest in 2012. Instead of having a piano onstage he brought a VINYL recording of the piano and played it on a record player. Probably 30-40 thousand people on the beach. Just him and his guitar and the record player. Of course it was at sunset too. Never would have imagined we'd lose him less than 5 years later. Life is beautiful. Life is sad. Life is crazy. Life is wonderful. Just try to leave things better than they were before. I think Chris definitely did that .
Love Chris Cornell.thanks for shining some light on him.yes hes passed away.it was in a similar time frame to Chester from Linkin Park.Chris's cover of GnR's 'Patient ' is amazing also.
The songs Chris covered were pretty much his, the way he changed them seem like they would completely new, this one is a great example, Prince wrote it but Sinead O'Connor made it a big hit in the late 80s but Chris came n took it n turned it into a masterpiece. Chris also covered Patience (Guns n Roses song), Billie Jean (Michael Jackson's hit) n others n every single time he knocked it out of the park. This world wasn't enough for Chris. Incredible talent, forever will be missed. Great reaction dude
Prince wrote this song. Sinbad O'Connor did a version in the 90's. I saw Chris Cornell with his band Soundgarden while shooting photos of their show. It was amazing. He passed away a couple months later.
One of the most talented vocalists to ever have walked this earth! He was Grunge/Rock but sadly the black dog got ahold of him and then his best mate Chester took his life on Chris Birthday. Two incredible vocalists who did things no one else could even attempt with their voices. The most talented are usually the most tormented souls sadly, that’s what makes them incredible
There is a duet of Chris and his daughter singing redemption song- it’s beautiful and I think you’d enjoy it as you talk about being a dad often:) it will undoubtedly touch your heart
I was a teen growing up in the Seattle area in the late 80’s early 90’s and from the time Soundgarden broke out it was obvious Chris had a golden voice and it only got better as the years moved along. The day the news came of his passing was a punch to the gut, “no one sings like you anymore” RIP Chris
There is a "bootleg" concert from Sweden in 2006 ( on TH-cam) that's just Chris and his acoustic guitar. It is just as awesome as this for the whole show. He does covers of Billy Jean ( yes, that one), Bob Marley-Redemption Song, Elvis Costello & Led Zeppelin, plus songs from his other 3 bands. Probably in my Top 5 favorite discs of all time.
And I get how you hear country. To me it's a acoustic southern rock sound. Which is basically heavier countryesque sound and with edgier vocals. Also elements of blues are used in southern rock.
Hie has such an amazing voice, his daughter is also an amazing singer. there is a vid of him calling her out on stage and singing with him, as a dad it just hits you seeing a daughter father share a passion. yes Sound Garden, Audio Slave, solo... all fantastic
I’ve heard this so many times and it never gets old. Imo and to my taste it’s one of the best vocals I’ve heard and the simple instrumentals with that make it perfection. Hope you check out more of his music cause his voice is ridiculous .
Chris Cornell is one of the single most amazing voices in rock. (Or any genre) Check out his work with Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog and his solo stuff. Prince wrote this. Sinead O'Conner made it famous with her version in 1990. Check out her's when you get a chance. She will blow you away. Her vocals are fantastic.
R.I.P To one of the Greats.. Miss his music.. BP I didn't think you'd even want to listen to this.. God am I so happy as this song is a must for anyone to hear.. He pours his all into his music.. I'm so happy your doing this.. Now I wish I would've said something when you started doing your Ren rollercoaster ride.. Ok now to watch vid.. ✌✌ Edit: LMAO just watched and this is the version I did sing to my wife. Of course I can't do it justice, but it made her cry and me afterwards.. Love this reaction Bro.. Oh one of Chris best songs and not as popular is Seasons.. It's F'in Phenomenal.. Adam Levine and Maroon 5 did a cover of this on Howard Stern Show and it was done very well too.. I'm just glad I got into the 90s grunge era. Turning 50 and I can still slay that shit on the drums..
His whole career was amazing Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden, Audioslave, and his solo career. Bless Chris. We lost a voice if an angel when we lost him. A good song to check out is Audioslave: Be Yourself. Look into the lyrics and you will understand why.
Oh man i saw him in concert the week before he died at rockville in Jacksonville, so glad i went. I love his euphoria morning album. Flutter girl is one of my faves but steel rain is great. Its about war...steel rain... Btw, been listening to your stuff on Tidal...like it
This is maybe my favorite cover of any song in any genre and I couldnt believe I saw in your video list. Also always reminds me of another favorite, which is Norah Jones performing Black Hole Sun live, which ironically is a cover of a chris cornell song she played in memory of him when he passed.
Wow😢❤Had always heard about his cover and never listened to it.😢 buried my momma today, and this song will hit me this summer with the line about Mothers flowers don't grow since she's gone😢
So sorry to hear about your mother.. This song will def make you cry.. Hang in there Mary and lean on your friends and family for support.. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.. My moms all i got left and I'm dreading the day she passes.. It's gonna destroy me. That woman never gave up on me thru my 80's 90's Herion addiction and God Bless her for it.. Moms are special type of people.. I swear there really super heros.. 😉
@@mikemd6155 thank you very much for your kind words. Love her while you have her. I actually still love Sinead O'Connor cover of this song Chris does do an amazing job too.
I'm so looking forward to this. Chris was the greatest! His voice had so much power and emotion, his writing was phenomenal, and he had such a great sense of melody. There's nobody like him. I watched your reaction to Zombie by The Cranberries today, and what you said about the children in war torn places. That makes me want to suggest you react to The Promise by Chris Cornell. It's a beautiful song with an incredibly powerful video. Bring tissues if you do it.
Chris doesn’t fit one genre because he was a multitalented artist. My favorite ever. Thank you. And thank you Chris for everything. ♥️
You know it’s an all time great song when Prince is the 3rd best version of a Prince song
Prince could write some powerful songs, this is an excellent example.
I just was going to say the same, Prince is almost untouchable. But Chris and Sinead gave this song different lives in different ways. If I’m not mistaken, this was either the last or one of the last things Chris ever did. It still makes me cry. Because they were thinking of someone they loved in a complicated way in their own way.
This is unanimously known as one of the greatest covers of all time. Chris truly made it his own.
Yeah 👍 he was 52 when he passed away.... 2 months later Chester died on Chris's birthday.
I rescued 2 feral kittens a few years back and the day I caught them was May 17th. I named the female kitten Josephine (after Chris' song) and the little boy is Chester. They are still living with me today
His cover of Billy Jean is outstanding
Chester killed himself because of Cornells death, he became too depressed.
They were murdered because of the work they were doing helping children and they were making a documentary about child trafficking. Tony podesta is Chester's father. quit being sheep
Isn't that ironic?? No pun intended for sure... I heard a story about why they both died..., not sure if it's true, but I believe it. What a waste of such beautiful souls!!!😢 I love this song though. It hurts to hear it but I love the pain I guess 😢

Chester passed two months later on Chris's birthday. Both gone way to soon.
Don’t forget Layne Staley and Andrew Wood too!
Weren't they collaborating on exposing the cabal/Illuminati/trafficking in Pedowood when they died? 🤔
What's the history of temple of the dog? I heard it was like the members of mother love bone and pearl jam both got together with chris cornell and formed the band as like tribute for Andrew the lead singer of mother love bone who died. Is this true?
Chris will never be replaced. Btw, he was 50 when this was recorded. Great share!👊🏼
‘Legend!! You have to check on him covering Michael Jackson’s ‘Billie Jean’. It’s like Chris sang it first and then MJ did the retake/remix of it. It’s amazing.
I second that!
The best Chris Cornell solo is his cover of his own Soundgarden song Fell On Black Days (Siriusxm). Absolutely incredible.
Almost forgot my broken heart and Fell on Black Days on this sirius gig are just other worldly..
Soundgraden? Cover
@@1bigrowdy
He’s got an awesome cover of Metallica’s One!
@@jahnschafer1170 sounds ignorant but that's how they titled it.
Salute Prince, Chris, Sinead...Rest in Peace
Yeah, kind of crazy how they are all gone. Prince gave it to Sinead, but I'm glad Chris did this amazing version too! ❤
He does a great cover of "Billy Jean" plus he was in temple of the dog , they did a great album
What a sad day it was when he passed away 😢. One of the greatest rock voices of all time. RIP Chris. We miss you.
One of the very few times I've ever cried for someone's passing that I didn't personally know, immediately once learning of their passing.
Oh Chris. The best thing to happen to vocals. One of the greats as a singer and a human. Miss him so much ❤️🔥💔
I only ever knew Sinead O Connor's cover as a child, but as soon as I heard Chris's cover, it instantly became my favorite version!! Chris has one of my all time favorite voices!!! I miss this man more than words can say!
Me, too. Every single day.
That cello is putting in work for this song, I love it. Rip Chris, you are missed 💜
His gift, his instrument, his voice is soul medicine....
Billie Jean, Say Hello to Heaven, Like a Stone, Black Hole Sun, I Will Always Love You, Show Me How to Live, Hunger Strike and too many more to list!! ALL BANGERS!!! This man was incredibly talented and did some of the best covers I have ever heard. You have to react to Billy Jean….mind blowing 💯
His version of Billie Jean is so phenomenal that the first time I heard it, I replayed it 4X in a row. Taking a Michael Jackson song then putting it in a minor key was just beilkiant!
I’m extremely partial to the studio version though, haven’t found a live performance of it that does justice to what he was able to do in studio
YES to all of the above!!!❤Rest in sweet heavenly peace Chris.🙏😪
Seasons, When I'm Down, Beyond The Wheel, The Keeper, Cleaning My Gun, Slaves and Buldozers, Call Me A Dog, Scar On The Sky, Nothing To Say, Preaching The End Of The World, Fresh Deadly Roses, etc, etc, etc.. The man was ridiculoulsy dope
@@OhSnakesI love Preaching the End of the World and no one ever mentions that song! I been listening to Chris since Badmotorfinger came out when I was in high school. Loved Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Chris Cornell solo and Audioslave. He also sang on a song with Alice In Chains on the album Sap.
Also the lead vocalist from soundgarden, the dude is amazing.
And the super band Audioslave, his solo career was amazing, and he was also a part of Temple of the Dog!!
Cochise by Audioslave is a must. Chris crushes it.
His cover of Michael Jackson’s billie Jean will blow you away
Oh yes!
Oh we’re talking about the GOAT, don’t get me started! Soundgarden Chris is once in a lifetime. I am a 40 yr old hip hop head and I can’t get enough
Chris was the front man for Temple of the Dog in the very early 90's, and "Say Hello to Heaven" is the song that truly embodies his 4 octave vocal range.

Say hello to heaven by him is also another vocal performance like no other!!
Sinead O’Conner version is what put this on the map in ‘90
One of the greatest vocalists of my generation. Much like Prince, we were all blessed to have him as long as we did. Chris was one in a trillion.
He was the best voice of my generation. Thank you, Chris, I miss you every day.
Chris Cornell is hands down one of the best singers ever. Man had just an absolutely amazing voice.
Still breaks my heart he and Chester are both gone from this world.
Me too
We played this song at my dad‘s funeral in 2006 the Sinead O’Connor version.
He was 71 years old And my mom was still alive at the time.
Written by the late great Prince ❤
Made famous by Sinead O'Connor ❤❤
Hearts & Souls touched by Chris Cornell ❤❤❤
*RIP* Prince, Sinead O'Connor, & Chris Cornell* ❤❤❤❤
Beautiful man with a beautiful voice..rest in peace Chris 💜💜
Ugh ❤ Chris Cornell love him
No one could even HOPE to touch Chris Cornell. A legend. A god. RIP angel. 💔💔💔
First time hearing Chris Cornell and I have to say..... WOW! I'll even say it backwards.... WOW! What an amazing, rich voice and I absolutely agree with you that the guy had SOUL. Thank you so much for bring this and exposing me to it. AND as always.... Great Reaction BP! You are the best.
I hope you dive into his catalog. He’s phenomenal.
Hands down my all time favorite male vocalist. I’m so sad he’s gone. He has also been a part of the grunge era. So many great songs.
Best and most influential musician in my life. His voice..... just nothing like it.
As a gen xer I've been here for every incarnation of this iconic song. The Family, Prince, Sinead and Chris. Every one perfect. His voice is untouchable.
Chris is a Legend! The mans voice is phenomenal ❤
You have to watch two live videos, Linkin Park doing Crawling where Chris comes out and performs with them, and also Chris doing Hunger Strike where Chester comes out and performs with him. Its sad and beautiful
The note Chris hits so effortlessly as he walks out in that performance while Chester's veins are straining out of his neck, no shade intended towards Chester there btw, is unbelievable.
Sinead O'Connor did a great cover of 'nothing compares' as well.
Best version on this song and RIP Chris Cornell. Truly one of the best voices ive ever heard honestly and he does it so effortless it seems . Its just amazing.
This has been my #1 band since’93 .. Chris Cornell has such a richness to his voice. Sucks you right in the moment he starts to sing.

Check out Chris Cornell version of Billy Jean Michael Jackson cover
Check out, say hello to Heaven from Temple of the dog, which is also Chris Cornell lead singing for another emotional one. If you just want to see a straight up hard, rock tune, check out outshined, or Rusty Cage by Soundgarden, which is the band that Chris Cornell is most known for.
Nothing but love, appreciation, respect for Chris. I truly hope he finally found peace. 🙏🙏🙏 One of the all time great voices!
Love this cover too, but Sinead still did it better.
Chris my favourite voice 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
One of my favorite covers. He brings the melon to this song that just makes you feel in you bones.
🖤 RIP Chris🖤
Always be in my top favorite voices! ❣️
Call me a Dog is an amazing song. So raw. Miss him. ❤️
Great song!!
My favorite song of his
🥰Beautiful reaction! Chris was on a whole other level when it came to singing... he isn't known as "the voice" of a generation for nothing!!😜❤
Anyway, to help you a bit as you embark on a Chris Cornell journey it is important for you to know Chris was the founder, lead singer and lyricist for 3 HUGE bands in the Grunge, Rock and Alternative Rock genres here's his bands...
1.) SOUNDGARDEN
2.) TEMPLE OF THE DOG (a one-time collab album in tribute to the late Andrew Wood)... it's an EPIC album and also was the catalyst for the band PEARL JAM forming!!
3.) AUDIOSLAVE
Looking forward to seeing you experience the beauty and greatness of Chris' catalogue. Peace and light...✌💞
EDIT: Chris also has an extensive solo catalogue (this song is part of his solo endeavor). Another great one from his solo stuff is his cover of MJ's "BILLIE JEAN"... it's the same song, same lyrics but sung with a whole different affect... you will have the chills (in the best possible way😁)!!!
One of the best vocalist in Rock.
Cried hard when I heard Chris was gone. 1994 Big Day Out was my first Soundgarden experience. Wasn't my only one and his Songbook gigs were like sitting in his lounge room. He was awesome
If I could turn back time I would have gone to that show here in Milwaukee on Easter Sunday. ( well that & pick some lottery numbers )
@@jackolson8775 For sure. He was unexpected. Kinda thought he was the cool as a cucumber solid rock in that crazy time.
Saw him at the Royal Albert Hall in London, not long before he passed....a true great! A vocalist beyond compare...sleep well Chris.
Prince wrote this, and Sinead O’Conner did a fantastic cover of it also!
Laura from Baltimore USA
He was the love of my life as far as rock stars go. I miss his voice. I wanted more. He would have been there he same age of my husband.he was a beautiful soul!
one of the great vocalist ever
Try listening to this song without getting the goosebumps. Lol. Chris was magical. 💕
His solo acoustic performances are EPIC. Go check out “ Billie Jean “ as well. Such a bad ass switch up to the original
He was also the Lead Singer of Soundgarden. Check out Black Hole Sun.
Chris was a special, special singer & artist. RIP
Chris did a cover of the lyrics from Metallica's "One" with the chords from U2's "One"...we didn't deserve Chirs Cornell dude was an angel.
Chris had some amazing stuff live with just him and an acoustic guitar...fire!
Gotta watch his cover of "Billy Jean" . Specifically the Live version
Glad you enjoyed and appreciated this as much as you did! Sometimes artists have the “It” factor and Chris was one of them.
Another great singer from Seattle, the unrecognized musical center for blues, grunge, folk, rock, etc
Since you’re feeling the country vibe from this, you should check out his other end of the spectrum and listen to Cochise (Audioslave). You’ll be shocked.
Right!?!?!?!!!!!! I still get chills and its happening now!!!!! Mmmmmm..... So good! You want more of these acoustic versions of music he loved to perform ✌️💙🎵
This is an acoustic grunge cover. He hailed from the Pacific Northwest - Seattle, Washington.

Such an amazing voice with such effortless
I had the pleasure of seeing him before he passed and he was such a unique humble Soul.. He is dearly missed.. RIP Chris ..Respect!
Glad you heard this one, Ive listened to it many times. Pretty amazing.
Love me some Chris Cornell. Try Billie Jean (MJ cover). One of the best singers ever imo. RIP ❤
Not everyone’s but outshined and half way there among My favorites 😊
I could listen to this on repeat for hours. ❤❤❤ RIP Chris Cornell
Love Chris Cornell.thanks for shining some light on him.yes hes passed away.it was in a similar time frame to Chester from Linkin Park.Chris's cover of GnR's 'Patient ' is amazing also.

Sinead O'Conner made it famous with her version in 1990. Check out her's when you get a chance. She will blow you away. Her vocals are fantastic.
Audioslave*
R.I.P To one of the Greats.. Miss his music.. BP I didn't think you'd even want to listen to this.. God am I so happy as this song is a must for anyone to hear.. He pours his all into his music.. I'm so happy your doing this.. Now I wish I would've said something when you started doing your Ren rollercoaster ride.. Ok now to watch vid.. ✌✌
Edit: LMAO just watched and this is the version I did sing to my wife. Of course I can't do it justice, but it made her cry and me afterwards.. Love this reaction Bro..
Oh one of Chris best songs and not as popular is Seasons.. It's F'in Phenomenal.. Adam Levine and Maroon 5 did a cover of this on Howard Stern Show and it was done very well too.. I'm just glad I got into the 90s grunge era. Turning 50 and I can still slay that shit on the drums..
I saw h8s last performance ever, I saw the second he got to stage he was off. I could feel his internal energy. He us awesome!!! ❤miss him
His whole career was amazing Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden, Audioslave, and his solo career. Bless Chris. We lost a voice if an angel when we lost him. A good song to check out is Audioslave: Be Yourself. Look into the lyrics and you will understand why.
If this performance don't make you feel something then you must be dead inside.
Oh man i saw him in concert the week before he died at rockville in Jacksonville, so glad i went. I love his euphoria morning album. Flutter girl is one of my faves but steel rain is great. Its about war...steel rain...
Btw, been listening to your stuff on Tidal...like it
This is maybe my favorite cover of any song in any genre and I couldnt believe I saw in your video list. Also always reminds me of another favorite, which is Norah Jones performing Black Hole Sun live, which ironically is a cover of a chris cornell song she played in memory of him when he passed.
Wow😢❤Had always heard about his cover and never listened to it.😢 buried my momma today, and this song will hit me this summer with the line about Mothers flowers don't grow since she's gone😢
So sorry to hear about your mother.. This song will def make you cry.. Hang in there Mary and lean on your friends and family for support.. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.. My moms all i got left and I'm dreading the day she passes.. It's gonna destroy me. That woman never gave up on me thru my 80's 90's Herion addiction and God Bless her for it.. Moms are special type of people.. I swear there really super heros.. 😉
@@mikemd6155 thank you very much for your kind words. Love her while you have her. I actually still love Sinead O'Connor cover of this song
Chris does do an amazing job too.
I'm so looking forward to this. Chris was the greatest! His voice had so much power and emotion, his writing was phenomenal, and he had such a great sense of melody. There's nobody like him.
I watched your reaction to Zombie by The Cranberries today, and what you said about the children in war torn places. That makes me want to suggest you react to The Promise by Chris Cornell. It's a beautiful song with an incredibly powerful video. Bring tissues if you do it.
One of the greatest ever
