And this darkness feels even more articulated after his passing. I love all the Audioslave records, but after Chris's death I have been listening to them very little, because they break me in a way, every time I listen - because I'm very susceptible to feelings transposed through music. I guess this darkness is one of the reasons why I really love these records, but when the source of that darkness feels more revealed, it just cuts deeper, too deep at times, and it can wreck my mood.

My heart aches so much that he is gone. One of the singular voices of my generation. RIP Chris.

"Though your garden's grey, I know all your graces someday will flower in a sweet sunshower" one of my favorite lyrics of all time

Why does watching Elizabeth always put a smile on my face 😂.

Chris was in Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden and Audioslave. He was a beautiful soul with an amazing voice to match and was gone way too soon. You should check out I am the Highway from Audioslave next.

This is my favorite album from all of Cornell’s bands but this was also a tough era for him live. This wasn’t a bad performance by any means but it is markedly different from the studio version, and you can tell he’s struggling with this song, particularly the chorus. (This song is a tough song to single in general.) There are a few live recordings that Audioslave did right after the album first album was released that sound pretty good but that was about it. He damaged his voice early on (at some point there was a surgery) and it drastically changed his sound. In the background he was dealing with addiction along with smoking and drinking. Stuff happens. In his later solo albums he spent a lot of time rebuilding his voice and as a result those live performances were much better and closer to the old style many of us knew and loved. RIP to a legend

Apparently Chris strained his vocal chords right before this, he usually goes even harder in a full band setting. legend.

16:25 In the studio recording of this song, I really love how he sings the word "skin." You don't really notice it here, but again in the studio version he lengthen the word, almost stretching it in a way. He brings alot of extra attention to it and it definitely evokes a feeling. Subtle things like that in his performances are why Chris Cornell is one of the greatest!

Audioslave is one of my favourite bands and Chris Cornell was my favourite vocalist. I had the priviledge to see him live once and he blew me away! RIP Chris. Once of the best singers of all time!

I would absolutely love to see your reaction to Chester Bennington and Chris singing the live version of "Crawling". Their voices compliment each other in a beautiful way.

This is another great react (Show Me How to Live). ... Cochise brings out his loud power... Roses on a Grave is softer... Nothing Compares 2 U is small studio (Sirius) is a tribute... the man took The Beatles song A Day in the Life... and on stage live he reformed with one guitar what they needed two takes with half orchesta... the range he had... I repeat his Live in Sweden cover of Led Zep's Thank You often (blame it on a woman)... which is a patient sweet soft song that he reshaped from the original and is really restrained from his power and different vocal voices. Never enough of him.

Awesome stuff! Never got to see Chris live, but I love all his work! Thanks for getting into this.

This is my favourite song to hear when im driving. Just such a masterclass. Its such a groovy opening, and I never use that word.

My favorite live clip of Cornell is his acoustic performance on Letterman when he performed "The Keeper". There was something so pure & fragile about the performance that brings tears to my eyes every time.

Love it whenever you do Chris Cornell and Audioslave songs, one of my and many people’s favorites this one. ‘What you are’ or ‘getaway car’ hopefully next, Audioslave, Tool, and RHCP are the top three rock bands from my youth, doing these sort of tunes means a lot to all of us.

This is one of my favourite songs of theirs. Cornell is legend, enough said

Omg! Omg! I'm so glad you find this!!!

Love how this song is a great mash up between these amazing musicians bands. You can hear all of their signature sounds. Soundgardens Soul, Rage's Funky Bass and chunky guitar... Just outstanding!

this is my favourite Audioslave song, so a good choice to check out. really love the dynamic between the verse and chorus. man, would really love to see your take on "Jesus Christ pose" by soundgarden, probably their most intense song vocally

When I got their self-titled album back in my teens, I played it so much, the disc warped. Cochise and Gasoline were some of my favorites.

Totally Awesome songs!! "Cochise" and "Gasoline" and the official video of "Show Me How To Live" awesome video!! 😊💓🤘✌️

YESSS just re liked this song on Spotify two days ago and wondered if you would ever do them!! Thank you!! 😁😂

Love your content! Chris Cornell was a legend amongst legends, gone to soon. Amazing performance!!

One of the most jaw-dropping vocal performances that I ever heard from this vocal god is the Song "Beyond the Wheel" in 1990 in Dusseldorf, Germany. He has many songs that are amazing-"Loud Love", "Bulldozers and Slaves", " Birth Ritual", Cochise" and many more.

I'd like to request Elliott Smith for a future video. There are barely any reactions or analyses on KZread. His style of singing is very unique and hard to describe. It's very delicate and listening to his songs feels like stumbling upon a private conversation, as if he's singing intimately to himself or a confidant. The songs I'd recommend are: Pitseleh, Angeles, Between the Bars, Needle In The Hay, A Fond Farewell

Hell yes!!!! So hyped, audioslave are probably my fav band, Chris being my fav ever musician. So great to see you reacting to them!! It's very sad that Chris was deep in battling addiction and drinking issues around this time, some of his vocal performances sound a bit off- however, it may also just be the low quality live show recordings. Either way, listening to the studio albums is an absolute joy- the first two in particular.

If you're familiar at all with the way they were touring at this time, and the size of the shows, and the length of the shows, and the fact that this filming was after having been so insanely busy and the demands that they were under because THE WHOLE WORLD loved them immediately and wanted to see them live... it's a million wonders his voice is even able to make sound at this point. These dudes gave the crowd 100% effort 100% of the time. So glad we got to see this lineup of amazing musicians come together and make the magic they did. Even if it was short lived.

Chris Cornell is one of my all time favorites. By the time he got to Audioslave, he couldn't get the high notes like he did previously. A good contrast to this song would be some of his early Soundgarden stuff where he sings way up high and makes my hair stand on end.

My favorite Audioslave song, supposedly about a Frankenstein Monster but who really knows. I've always loved it because of how it hits.

Since I've discovered your channel I've come to absolutely love it incredibly quickly, both as a fan/enthusiast of music, all of your videos are delightfully entertaining to watch with just your enthusiastic personality alone, but then as a musician myself I absolutely LOVE the technical and educational aspect of your commentary. Absolutely amazing! I've watched a lot of your videos but have yet to conquer the entire catalog (Soon!), but if you haven't watched/listened to these guys yet I would absolutely LOVE to watch you experience either Shawn James, Danny Worsnop of the post-hardcore band Asking Alexandria or even Allen Stone. Some of my favorite male vocalists and all just insanely and incredibly talented musicians. Shawn James has this insanely beautiful deep rich powerhouse of a baritone voice but can easily scale higher octaves into just such beautiful and effortless falsettos. Whenever he does cover songs he always seems to just span 2-3 octaves from his natural baritone voice up into beautiful falsettos. Then Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria can just go from these deep and powerful guttural growls/distorted vocals and banshee like high pitched screams into just incredibly beautiful and emotional clean singing. He's an absolute powerhouse of a vocalist on the studio albums specifically. And then Allen Stone just has this ridiculously beautiful tone as well and can just hit these effortless higher registries also without losing an ounce of power or breath and just sings with a ridiculously smooth angelic like voice. Not to mention all 3 of these guys are absolutely phenomenal lyricists as well! Looking forward to your next video! Much love, always!

They literally re-ignited rock. So so so good. Several of their songs on my running playlist!

I love that you're listening to Audioslave! "I Am the Highway" and "Like a Stone" are other Audioslave songs you should check out. "Like a Stone" is much more mellow, but somehow still intense.

Back when Audioslave was announced, most of us were scratching our heads and asking, "How the eff is this gonna work?" They quickly became one of my favorite bands.

Remember buying the debut Album from The week it came out and the guy behind the counter calling it Rage Against the Grunge Machine 😂

Never was I so excited for the release of an album. I was not disappointed.

Audioslave had such a unique sound! You can't mistake them for anybody else! Love them. Love your breakdowns TCV!

SOOOO glad you reacted to Audioslave! You’ll have a lot of fun with them. I’d highly recommend Cochise next. Rock on 🤘🏼

Shadow on the Sun is also a great song from their debut album.

Chris Cornell's vocal belting is second to none

I'm afraid you haven't quite experienced the full range of Chris Cornell in his prime. He was a sight and sound to behold. Slaves & Bulldozers, Beyond the Wheel, and Birth Ritual really showcase just how high he could go; the face melting kind of heights. After those, check out When I'm Down from his Euphoria Mourning album to really get a sense of the kind of passion and emotional expression he can convey through his singing.

Yes, I'd love to see her reaction to those earlier vocals!

So happy you're doing more Chris Cornell! Please please do more. I love hearing you react to music I love because you hear things I would never notice. It really enriches my experience, thank you. I think you would enjoy the vocals on "When I'm Down," from Euphoria Mourning. I've also always loved the vocals on Soundgarden's "Blow Up the Outside World," and "The Day I Tried to Live." Just go on a bender for us!

my absolute favourite Audioslave song is Wide Awake would recommend 110% especially the performance he did on the songbook album. Live acoustic performances he did you can feel each lyric hitting hard
