"'Fell On Black Days' was like this ongoing fear I've had for years. It took me a long time to write that song. We've tried to do three different versions with that title, and none of them have ever worked," he said. "It's a feeling that everyone gets. You're happy with your life, everything's going well, things are exciting - when all of a sudden you realize you're unhappy in the extreme, to the point of being really, really scared. There's no particular event you can pin the feeling down to, it's just that you realize one day that everything in your life is f--ked!" Chris Cornell quoted in magazine article about writing the song

Man that's hard to read. I used to rationalize depression, as I've never suffered from it genuinely. Until I met an artist who was bipolar, and it became clear it was chemical. no rime no reason her dreams could be coming true and she would still suddenly just have days where she described she couldn't find the joy in anything. so cruel.

Grunge has been brought to us by way of Chicago (Smashing Pumpkins), U.K. (Bush), and even Australia (early Silverchair) and South Africa (Seether, although they are technically Post-Grunge). Grunge rocks, man. 👍🏻

Have you heard the intro to the songs, ‘footsteps’ by Pearl Jam, ‘times of trouble’ by Temple of the Dog and ‘rotten apple’ by Alice in Chains? All a dedication, like the Alice song Would? to Andrew Wood. ‘Apple’ was the name of the only album released by Mother Love Bone. The band Green River, when they split, half that band became Mudhoney and half of that band became Mother Love Bone and when MLB split, half of that band became Pearl Jam. The song ‘right turn’ by Alice in Chains is sung by Layne, Mark from Mudhoney and Chris Cornell. Chris Cornell was Andrew Wood’s best friend. Pearl Jam have a song called ‘Lukin’ on their 4th album ‘No Code’ and it’s about Matt Lukin, the original bass player form Mudhoney - are there any other Seattle band links like these?

The mellow groove of the song is trying to convey the feeling of being at your lowest point. It builds and Chris opens up the vocals. One of his best IMO.

This track to me was just essentially a modern day blues track, simple, expressive, and raw regarding pain, its quite a subtle one, grew on me over time, its brilliantly arranged imo. the production choices on this are brilliant

it's a slow burn to be sure, but where it ends up is worth the trip. i really love the evolution of the guitar and bass at the end

I remember when I first heard this song i thought “wow what an amazing song about struggling with depression”. I understood where he was coming from. Now when I hear it, it sounds so much darker, almost scary.

“Say Hello 2 Heaven” this might be some of Chris’ best work

It's funny how songs age -- when I first heard this song when it came out, in the 90s, it was an absolute stunner. Stood out from all the other tracks. That bent guitar riff. The groove with those heavy fills. The sludgy, moody, ethereal vibe. The little change to the major key in the last half. And the vocal range. But I guess, if you're hearing this for the first time in 2019, you've already heard all the copycats and bands that were influenced by them, who polished the sound or were more influenced by other cuts on the record (FOURTH OF JULY is one of the tracks that influenced Deftones and a ton of other bands). And in the end, it doesn't have the same impact. Cos this song was one of those tracks that everyone was raving about back in the day.😂

Chris Cornell is my favorite vocalist in rock music! Say Hello 2 Heaven, Burden in my Hand, Steel Rain, and Outshined are some good tracks that highlight how good he really was at singing and writing songs.

Soundgarden Superunknown is the greatest rock album of the 90s and one of the greatest in rock history. Just my opinion. A start to finish listen and pretty much every song could of been a single. Im 41 and have listened to it probley the most of any album ever and just can't get sick of it its so so good!

The outtake was killing me! Can't wait to see what else you have in store for the grunge marathon.

That might make sense if you've heard just a song or two by each, but if you even slightly dig into any of these bands, I'd say that description is doing a big disservice to what they did

Alice in chains was not pure metal they were grunge just like Pearl jam and Soundgarden there's no way Alice n chains was metal are you kidding me! LMAO I grew up in the 90s

An amazing Soundgarden song, one of my favorites. Gives me chills listening as it hits close to home for me. You guys did an awesome job with this one. RIP Chris Cornell

My favourite vocal performance from Chris Cornell is on Beyond the Wheel. Very dark, very heavy, and he sings the melody at 3 different octaves! And beyond!

The Day I Tried to Live is my favorite song from them. Down on the Upside was my favorite overall album from them though and my first experience from them and it was by complete chance.

That album doesn't get the love it deserves. Badmo was was my teenage intro, but every release from Soundgarden has its special moments imho.

One of my favorite Soundgarden songs. Very sad that he's gone.

Love your takes on the songs. You guys kick ass.

Soundgarden was my favorite band for a couple years, Chris is still my favorite singer. It’s been hard for me to listen to them after he died

Temple of the Dog - say hello to heaven. Also by them: hunger strike

Watching you react is like I am hearing these songs for the first time and it brings a lot of joy and memories to the point of crying. Grunge saved my life.

RIP Chris. I hope you found your peace. I'm happy you left us some great music.

This entire album is amazing. Title track is my favorite.

If you're having a very melancholy kinda day, come back to this song. It'll ring all sorts of bells on your head.

Such an amazing song. The music itself is great and Chris's voice just makes it that much better.

It's been said before your sound quality is on fire!! Production has really grown. It's really nice to jam out and watch your reaction to great songs and now the sound quality makes it great to hear the music.

Guys, you have to do Interstate Love Song by Stone Temple Pilots. My favourite "Grunge" Song, altough they had moved on to a different Sound by then. The Riff and the chorus are also my top 5 of all time. It's just so good and it's such a good driving song

There's still debate as to whether STP counts as Grunge given the diversity in their sound.

Super excited for this marathon. The early 90s in Seattle was one of the most fecund and exciting times for music. Such dark, raw, honest creativity all over mainstream media and culture. Iconic bands and artistry. I like this Soundgarden song because you hear all the classic elements of the band from odd times to Persian influences, but subtly and in a very radio friendly package compared to their earlier albums. Cornell shines as always.

I feel his music so much! He speaks my soul and I do have major depressive disorder. This and a lot of his other song are how it feels.

I really enjoy your guys reactions/commentary

I think Matt Cameron's drumming helps fight the repetition of this song with his fills. Great drummer.

Three years ago, I was waiting for the walk sign on an intersection in Greenwood (Seattle suburb) and I looked to my right and, BOOM, Matt Cameron is standing right next to me. I have NEVER been so star struck in my life. I wanted to gush and talk to him, but he was with his kid and I didn't want to bother him. Don't regret my lack of action, but one of the perks to living in Seattle. Especially growing up here in the 90s. These guys were just everywhere... I saw Layne Staley in a Fred Meyers twice. I saw Chris Cornell and Ben Sheppard and Jerry Cantrell on the street in Ballard. I ate breakfast with Warrell Dane one morning. Ran into Jeff Loomis is a burger place in Shoreline. I really miss that time. It was magical.

This track is so prophetic now, knowing how he left us all. Makes it even sadder than it already was. Chris wasn't as deep into the drugs as the other noted grunge artists, I think it was largely deep depressive thoughts, suicidal ideations and the loss of so many close friends to drugs, starting with Andrew Woods death in 1990. Some people just feel, off, always. Disjointed and uneasy with life, I am this way, tons of people are, that's why he resonates with us so much. He puts words to feelings that are so incredibly hard to explain! Thanks for all the great reactions guys!

You guys are one of the top Rock reaction channels in my book. Love being a subscriber thank you

Just stumbled upon your channel. Really dig your vibe you guys. Love your energy. Thank you for doing what you do.
