Chris Cornell was just a total vocal force of nature.

Lex: "I believe Chris Cornell might have the best voice of all-time...I haven't listened to that much music though." I started listening to Soundgarden around 1992. I'm 45 years old, been a music lover since I was a small child, listen to all kinds of genres, and I believe Chris Cornell is one of the greatest of all-time if not THE greatest.

Yes, Chris Cornell has the greatest voice in rock history. My father died when I was a teenager. Cornell’s music helped me through the next several years of my life, it me from spiraling more than I did. Until Cornell died, I had never understood what people were talking about when they had an emotional reaction to the death of a celebrity. I couldn’t listen to anything of his for about a year without tearing up.

I'm still tearing up when I'm not careful. I was shocked by some prior celebrity deaths, but none felt as painful as Chris passing. And apart from that, I'm in my 50s, I've listened to literally all kinds of rock music and hundreds of singers, and Chris was the best, no question. There were some who were more *important* for the history of rock singing, like Ozzy, Freddy Mercury, and David Bowie (to name just three), but only Chris' voice could touch me like it did. He was the GOAT. There are three other singers that can make me as emotional, though, all of them are women: Björk, Ninet Tayeb, and Suzuka Nakamoto. Brad & Lex will get to them in due time, I'm patient.

Oh hell yes this is one of their most underrated songs. It really shows Chris full capacity and what a monstrous voice he had, he absolutely went mental in this one.

Yes but the live version from Superunknown deluxe. WAAY more powerful and Cornells vocal peak.

The incredible vocals, intense and so much range. The guitars are a mix of all kinds of riffs ,all over the map. An outstanding band of the Seattle grunge era. My favorite along with Alice in Chains. Those two bands drew me to that music and made a slightly older(30 at the time) hard rock and metal fan very happy indeed.

Cornell at the absolute peak of his prodigious power.

This is the song that hooked me into being a Soundgarden fan. The technical aspect of the vocals, and the playing where just out there for a 20 year old that just started playing bass. I was floored.

I agree with Lex, Chris voice was technically very incredible, very expressive, always in tune, a great range, incredible control, incredible screams without falsetto, but also a beautiful voice when singing melodies

I think “Birth Ritual” by Soundgarden is probably the most unreal Chris Cornell vocal performance. Ridiculously high pitched and LOUD.

That's a good one on the Singles soundtrack

When he drops to the low and smooth tone after the drum fill before exploding back to the intense vocals is an example of what made Chris Cornell great!

What makes Chris stand out is that he can do songs like this, then do something completely different like, "Like A Stone". He can do both, equally well, while emotion oozes from his soul.

Chris was the total package, Vocals + Guitar. RIP MAN 🙏

Don't forget he started out as the drummer of Soundgarden!

The guy was incredible. He could sing anything.

OF ALL TIME!!!

This is actually my most favorite song in the world, EXCEPT only the live version. This studio version is fine, but the live versions of this song are different and experiencing them live is even better. This is actually the last song they played in concert shortly before Chris's death. RIP dear Chris. They often played it as an encore song. It makes me feel like I'm a dragon bounding from one mountain top to another. Powerful, beasty and free... lol. One of the first songs I heard of Soundgarden's was in 1989, "Loud Love," and the intro starts with some screech-y guitar that turns into Chris's voice. It blew my mind. I was a diehard fan since. Matt Cameron's drumming also changed my world. Some people keep time on drums, Matt makes music and paints pictures.

A great song for your reaction by Chris Cornell: "Seasons" its off of the soundtrack from the movie 'Singles'. His voice is beautiful here, I think you'll love it.

This album is absolute solid fk'n gold. Literally not a bad song on the album. I still listen to it all the time, and it's one of those rare albums that I typically listen to all the way through without skipping.

And even Axl Rose, to his credit, has said as much -- I think it was a 1990 RS interview where Rose (who had recently won top male vocalist award or poll) said if he could sing like Chris Cornell, he'd "have it made".

Chris Cornell, Rob Halford, Jim Morrison, Ronnie James Dio, Sebastian Bach, Bruce Dickinson, Jeff Tate, Robert Planet, Ann Wilson, Eddie Vedder, James LaBrie & Ozzy = all voices I can never get enough of🤘🏻💜🤘🏻

Lex on point as usual! Chris Cornell one of the greatest voices ever.

I grew up on late 60's -70's music. Lots of amazing vocalists during that era and since then. But I'd have to put Chris Cornell in the top five as far as sheer power, range and control. Never heard anything like him. And he seems to do it so effortlessly.

I agree, Chris Cornell has the best voice in rock.

Chris’s best vocal performance for me

Pleased to see you guys vibing with Slaves & Bulldozers, one of my all time favorite tracks by Soundgarden and also one of the best gems on the Badmotorfinger album lol great reaction and song choice as well, hats off to you two. This song is a pure banger and it perfectly demonstrates how far Chris's vocal range is able to reach. Insanity at its best, love this song and its meaning. ❤

Love Soundgarden. This song in particular is probably the pinnacle of Chris' vocal performances in my opinion.

This is, in my opinion, pinnacle Soundgarden. The vocals, the weight of the guitars, the groove of the rhythm section, the angst. It's just a perfect moment from one of my favorite bands.

I agree Lex... Chris's had the perfect hard rock voice... You should check out Soundgarden "Hands all over"...

Wow did not expect to see this! This is one of my all time favorite SG songs. They performed this live at the 1992 Lollapalooza in the Detroit area, and incorporated part of Ted Nugent's song Stranglehold which was fantastic how they did it and that they did it as an homage to being in the Detroit area. Thanks for this! ~Be Blessed

Love Soundgarden. My daughter use to get upset with me for playing them and S.T.P. All the time. I'm almost 65 and 💘 a good wailing , emotional voice!!

This song is the perfect example of the vocal sonic blast capabilities of one Mr. Chris Cornell. Just otherworldly!

Soundgarden - like suicide, searching with my good eye closed, room a thousand years wide, loud love, hands all over, fell on back days, 4th of July.....just to name a few of my favorites 🤘🙂🤘

Chris Cornell is THE Grunge God, no doubt! Rest in peace 🙏

My favorite song of theirs. Song Rocks!! This is a good song to describe what it feels like when you snap!

When Chris says "So Bleed your heart out!"... WHEW!!! Chris is the GOAT!

Ahhh…memories of seeing them live, down front in the pit. Some of the best times I’ve had going to concerts.

Really rocked out in Soundgarden of this era. Try "Rusty Cage" or "Outshined" to get a bit of a taste of the power. And almost every single track on Superunknown is a banger

Chris's either a capella, acoustic or heavy as hell had a beast of a range. I was a goth girl studying opera when I first heard "Jesus Christ Pose" by Soundgarden; obsessed ever since. Maynard, Lane and Chris..no one can touch them vocally!

Agree with Lex about Chris voice😍 Loud love is another great example. The intro where his voice seemless takes over from the guitar 👌

I was fortunate enough to see Soundgarden play live at large clubs, a couple of times before they’d gotten famous, and the thing about Chris Cornell, is he sounded that good live. That whole band was amazing, but his vocals always stood out.

This album from Soundgarden is truly amazing and this is my favorite song. Put this on driving down the road and I'm head banging and getting weird looks. Chris Cornell can be put in legionary status with his voice. 🤘💥🤘

I grew up listening to black sabbath and this band most reminded me of them from the grunge period. This is the quintessential sound garden sound!

Such an amazing talent Chris was. To hear this and then hear him do a song like The Keeper. So versatile.

🤘🤘🔥CHRIS CORNELL BEST ROCK N ROLL VOCALS OF ALL TIME. R.I.P CHRIS CORNELL 🔥🤘🤘🤘

For some more great Cornell vocals, try his live performance of When I'm Down at the Troubadour.

Yes I would say Chris and Layne Staley are my favourites for sure 👌

Chris’s voice is so damn unbelievable. You are 100% correct, Lex. Chris…best singer of all time.

More Soundgarden guys, you will enjoy every second.

chris cornell does have the best voice of all time, he is the gold standard. His lyrics are also hard to beat. GOAT

Chris Cornell, Freddie Mercury, Maynard, Myles Kennedy, and Geddy Lee. My top 5. So glad y'all finally did this one.

THE voice of that era for me - Nobody could belt out the tunes like Chris - sometimes he was a bit off live after a tour of screaming - so you didnt always get the best from him but damn - he was awesome

Cornell definitely has one of the greatest Rock voices ever. Even people who are not fans of his bands recognize that. He also has the widest octave range of any I believe, as well as the best control of that range.

I remember when this was released, whole album was great, couldn't stop listening...kickass band.

Definitely one of the top 5 SoundGarden songs … check out :” H.I.V BABY! By them .But check out Chris Cornell’s vocals on “ Say hello to Heaven “ by Temple of the dog …and I agree with Lex : Chris was and still is the best … RIP Mr Cornell.

Lex you should have been born a rocker. You are spot on every time. Chris has absolutely but arguably the best voice in Rock.

Saw Chris live a few times. Yeah, he can do this live, probably better than the disc. F'n amazeballs !

One of the single greatest vocal performances ever 🎤🙏

So Good,one of the songs that really shows how powerful his voice really was,Loud Love is another one that kicks ass.I agree Lex,him and Robert Plant from Zep

I agree Lex, Chris is one of the best ever!!!! So sad we will never be blessed with any more music from him.

'always felt this was Chris' best vocal performance/recording since first listen back in the early 90s. A crazy blend of absolute control and pushing vocals where you shouldn't. It's so unfortunate his voice was damaged for so many other albums

I love this album so much.

Soundgarden is awesome! Next up you need to listen to Seeing With My Good Eye Closed, Fell On Black Days, or Superunknown.

03:25 - and this is when I realised I loved her. Shout out from Glasgow, Scotland.

I agree with you Lex....Chris does have the best voice...soooo much character, passion and skill

This is my favorite Soundgarden song. A lesson in grunge all in this masterpiece of a track.

2:54 LEX IS SO WELL VERSED IN ROCK. SHE HAS EVERYTHING. LUCKY, LUCKY BRAD!

My favourite singer in my favourite band ever.. Lucky me... The soundtrack to my life is Soundgarden. Miss you Chris... Lex you're so right, he's the greatest Voice ever.. ,🤘

Loud Love is worth a listen. One of the best intros ever.

Chris has the best voice in Rock n Roll History!!

Best rock vocal ever. EVER

this is reason 1 why Chris was the greatest

i love this woman!!! Her reaction is like so genuine!

Lex's Reaction: 🤘🏻🔥🖤🔥🤘🏻 "Of all time" indeed!!!

Thank you for reacting to this one. Much love!!

This song and 'Rooms a thousand years wide' are two of my favorites from Soundgarden

Matt Cameron, SG's drummer, doesn't get nearly the attention he deserves. He's top level, right along with Bonham, Peart, Ginger Baker and Grohl and fits within that range better than most rock drummers of the past 40 years. A creative force behind the kit, and a huge part of SG's sound!!

Soundgarden is just flat out bad azz!!!

You are absolutely correct, Lex. Best voice to ever pick up a microphone

Chris Cornell was one of the best. He could howl like the wolf.

I was lucky enough to see Soundgarden live back in 1992 at a venue called the Institute in Birmingham when they toured the UK for the "Badmotorfinger" album back in 1992 when I was 19. One of the best gigs of the early 90's I went to. Up there with Jane's Addiction, Faith No More and Nine Inch Nails, all of whom I saw several times each between 1990 and 1994. All incredible live. Soundgarden were immense at that show. They were supported by a band called Corrosion of Conformity who were also fantastic. You should check those guys out at some point too.

Lex - you said you need to listen to more Chris Cornell / Soundgarden to decide his place in your favorites - SO LET'S DO IT - let's listen to more Soundgarden. A lot more. By the way - this album - Badmotorfinger - is amazing - every track on the album is fantastic. I think you previously did Rusty Cage - so that's two. Plenty more to choose from. Then there's 5 other albums after that. Can't wait to see your future reactions. Brad - i know this wasn't something you enjoyed too much - and i appreciate your candid and heartfelt reactions. That's all i can ask for. I have watched other reactors - and they were just mindless cheerleaders - and it got old pretty quick. That's why i love watching you two react to great music. Thanks for this one.

Your right about Chris's voice. No one sounds as good with that range and power.
