+EQ-smoove - Creative differences during the Down on the Upside recording sessions between Chris Cornell, who wanted to explore more of the mellow tunes that allowed him to use his vocals to their full range, and Kim Thayil, who wanted to go back to the hard and heavy and guitar-intensive sounds as before Superunknown.

I'm a fan of Soundgarden from 3rd world country. I was in high school and saved money to buy their Superunknown album after i had heard the "Superunknown" track. Ever since, the band became my source of energy, it fuelled me to complete my Computer Science degree . Now, I am living in a first world country. Thank you Chris.

They made complex time sounds so natural. Too many other bands that wrote in metres other than 4/4 or 6/8 sound like you're listening to someone's math homework, but this shifts between 6/4 ans 10/4 and other time signatures without ever feeling weird. Its amazing

The bassist (Ben Shepherd) is a monster, the drummer (Matt Cameron) is a killer, the guitarist (Kim Thayil) is breathtaking in the tuning and complexity of the riffs, and Cornell sings like a God of Olympus, as well as playing very well, it's a band that has everything in terms of music, composition, chords, sonority, it's like a classical music show where the Maestro is rock n roll.

So grateful that I had the opportunity to see Soundgarden live.

This is a stunning version and his voice, of course, incredible, so full, even up there in a tenor level. A voice like that is gift. RIP, good brother.

I can't believe it's been 3 years since he passed away Still miss you chris

I am deeply sad that we all lost such a talented singer, songwriter and musician. You will be greatly missed Chris! RIP!

Man what a voice. Rest in peace Chris

When I was in the fourth grade, our music teacher asked everyone to bring in a piece of music to share with the class, I brought Outshined, and had to show my teacher that the lyric was "where the dogs are shedding", or else I would've gotten in trouble I guess haha. RIP Chris

His voice sounds so sweet live, the studio version has this roughness, but the clarity of his voice here is beautiful too. Both are good

Sad loss. A great artist, a unique voice, gone way too soon. Thinking of his family, friends and band members. Really is a black day for a musos and my generation that grew up on Soundgarden. RIP Chris

Grew up listening to Audioslave and Soundgarden. Rest in Peace Chris Cornell.

My condolences to the friends and family of Chris Cornell, we all lost someone very special today. To the other members of soundgarden- I can't thank you enough for your music, you guys got me through really tough times growing up and it means the world to me. Personally I wont dwell on what I lost today, I would rather look back on all that I've gained from his work

RIP Chris. Best voice of all time. Irreplaceable

Anyone else find it difficult to not cry a little bit hearing Chris sing these lyrics? So alive and so in touch with death. And let's not forget Matt Effing Cameron.

We lost one of the most talented musician, producer,singer, writer, front man of this era. RIP Chris. You are missed.

Thank you Chris from the bottom of my broken heart...you, Layne, Scott, saved so many people you will never understand. I'm forever thankful that I had your musical presence in my life! Rest easy spoonman

One of my favorites by Soundgarden... RIP Chris Cornell, a true and raw talent I will miss

This whole album has been a mainstay in my life for a long long time. Got me thru the ups and downs. When Chris passed, it really hit me more then any other rock star or famous person passing away. I feel like I truly knew a part of him and he knew me in some weird distant way. One of goats in music for sure

What a devastating loss, R.I.P. Chris Cornell you will be very sorely missed. Your music and lyrics had such a big influence on so many peoples lives, including mine...

Falling on black days... It is now. RIP Chris.

I've had thoughts of myself even being around at 50 feel very disillusioned with life, now Chris is gone makes me feel even more mortal "...and my youth i pray to keep heaven sent hell away no one sings like you anymore..." you may now keep your youth and no one sings like you...anymore now. thank you Chris RIP

I keep coming back to this on occasion. Man...his vocals were so strong here. Love this clip.

Beautiful song-- reminds me of being a teenager. Love your music Chris. Peace upon you wherever you are...

Fun fact.... The 2 greatest singers of the 90s rock scene are from Seattle, they were taught by the same vocal coach and their names are Chris Cornell and Layne Staley of Soundgarden/Audioslave and Alice in Chains/Mad Season

So freakin awesome. Live without the noise, just pure talent

Happy Canada Day! So fortunate to see Soundgarden in many events! ROCK ON!!! Thank you Chris!
