Cornell was not more uplifting and less depressing, he was angrier and more cynical towards life lol. Not being an ass just giving my 2 cents since that's exactly how I feel and why I love his music

Alice in Chains and Soundgarden were the two greatest bands to come out the 90s Seattle scene.

Same thing I was going to say man, he really nailed changing the melody to something like what Chris would have done. This is going far beyond just doing of cover of a song with just a different singing style, this is a *full* treatment on the song and I don't think a lot of people will fully appreciate the level of musicianship here.

Your Chris Cornell, Scott Weiland and Layne Staley are spot on. I also like your attention to engineering. The AIC version is much heavier on reverb, giving it this darker dungeon sound, but this drier sound sound much more like Soundgarden Super unknown era. I think it might have also been the time/era. A lot of the grunge artists records from 1992/1993 and before have lots of reverb sound to them. I guess that was more the style back then coming out of the 80s whether it was Michael Jackson or arena rock production had that washy sound, where as later records from those grunge groups started to drop it in favor of warmer sounds and production. So I actually appreciate the playing, engineering changes too to really make it a different version.
