I like Kim, but he's kind of in the shitty position of just being a lead guitarist in a band that doesn't always have a lot of big solos. While they all contributed to writing the songs, Chris was the most creative force, and he was also an excellent guitarist himself.

One thing I absolutely love about Soundgarden is their use of odd time signatures. If you don't understand the musical term, at the start of the song count out the beats in the riff - it's 7 not the typical 4 or 8 of just about any other song. They might be the most famous band out there that did that kind of thing (and it's not just this song, it's in a lot of their work). Very unique.

If you want to hear something really heavy from Soundgarden, check out the song "Slaves and Bulldozers"

Chris was multi faceted, so much talent. Chris gets really bluesy in the song Two Drink Minimum. His vocal ability really shines in that song.

Thank God you guys finally reacted to Outshined! I was punting this song so hard in your livestreams a few days ago. In my opinion, this is the heaviest grunge song ever made, so when Lex said it sounded heavy, she was spot on.

Temple of the dog, "Say hello to heaven".

I love watching people react to Chris! He had one hell of a set of pipes on him. Outshined is one of my favs he sings. Cochise (Audioslave) is another one you'd love, Lex!

Should react to “Temple of the Dog “ “say Hello to Heaven “. His singing is unreal

Makes my hair stand up thinking if seeing pearl jam Soundgarden primus alice in chains more at lalapalooza in bremerton in 92. Rainy day. My god. All those bands at one small festival that kicked ass. Go watch soundgarden live in Bremerton 92. So awesome. Youll see vedder in back watching. I was right there. The crowd was steaming. Omg i want to go back. Almost live with Soundgarden yes please

Chris' voice was so awesome, such power in those pipes.

Hey. This is the second video I've watched from you. (First being the Primus one that you did after this one). I was really impressed how Lex instantly took in the song's vibe. She immediately spotted the very metal sounding groove, and the whole heavy - light interplay. Love the song, and the reaction. Keep rocking. Cheers

Soundgarden-Room A Thousand Years Wide.

The movie True Romance used up almost their entire music budget because the director wanted this song, which was new and killing it at the time. That's why all the other songs on the soundtrack are older or unknown. For a skinny kid who had confidence issues (and a drummer), he switched gears and just rocked the world, he gets the same amount of credit as Cobain and Vedder for the Grunge day, Chains too. Great era.

Caught both Audioslave and Soundgarden live. Both insane concerts. His vocal range was off the charts. Both bands were incredible back ups to an incredible voice. Really went to soon.

It's a shame you'll never get to see Chris and Soundgarden live. One of my best memories as a teen was seeing Soundgarden live. And they killed it. And this songs performance was the best. I remember it more than anything. 🤘 R.I.P. Chris

You should react to Mad Season - Wake Up, it's got Layne Staley from Alice In Chains & Mike McCready from Pearl Jam, it's a whole vibe. Also, theres an Alice In Chains & Chris Cornell collab, it's called "Right Turn", great song =)

The vocals and guitar riffs in this song are epic.

Probably SG's best combo as hard as nails and still accessible to the masses. That chorus is massive.

You two drop multiple reaction videos all the time. And it's short and sweet. My favorite duo to watch as they react.

That is Eddie Vedder doing backing vocals on the chorus btw. This was when Eddie came to Seattle from California to be the new singer for Mother Love Bone, but they decided to change the name tp Pearl Jam when Eddie joined. Pearl Jam is basically a supergroup of Sound Garden and Mother Love Bone. The Drummer for Soundgarden ended up joining Pearl Jam later on.

Chris was different with each group and solo. I think because the organic feel of each group of guys was different. It made him an amazing talent we may never see against. Of and how Chris's personal life was going. GOAT!

These two play well off on another. Brad is mostly cerebral and Lex is all about the feel of the music. Entertaining to watch

Chris Cornell was a diamond in the rough of the city of Seattle. He battled depression for years and eventually took his own life! So sad a man that seemingly had everything was down in a hole of depression. Just goes to show, you can have everything family wife, living rockstar life, money and he was still left unfulfilled. Money and stardom are not everything folks! R.I.P. CHRIS CORNELL!!

Bad motorfinger was such a great album! Rusty cage was great too. Didn't Johnny Cash cover that??

The Day I Tried To Live -- must hear from Soundgarden and as a cover by Sevendust (powerful!!)

I was at concert in Irvine Meadows CA back in the early nineties and I'm paraphrasing here, but he said "A lot of people ask me who this song is for, well you know all the people who have our shirts and albums and front row to all our concerts? This song is for everyone else". To which a mass of drunk and sunburnt people began to cheer.

This whole album is just gold as far as I'm concerned, Superunknown is probably their best album, so many good songs.

She smiles and tweaks at the right times. Totally gets it!

He had to be the best front man in rock (IMO) when you factor range, power, soul and charisma. He just inhabited the song. Some of their best tracks that you haven't hit are Burden in My Hand, My Wave, Blow Up the Outside World, Spoonman and Slaves and Bulldozers.

He can sing literally anything and it will sound like it was meant for him

I love your reactions to music that i love. I sense that you also learn a new band's history as you become more familiar with their music. One thing to know about Soundgarden - they were the first of the Seattle / grunge bands to get a major record deal. While Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Pearl Jam were promoting their debut albums, Soundgarden already had 2 full albums and 2 EPs released. "Outshined" is actually off their 3rd album - "Badmotorfinger" - a great album!!! But there are dozens of great Soundgarden songs off their previous recordings that few fans / reactors seem to pay attention to - and i would urge you to check out some of their early songs - some of my favorites are: "GUN, BEYOND THE WHEEL, I AWAKE, and LOUD LOVE." You get a sense from where "grunge" originates.

Lexington, you listen to music (especially Cornell ) exactly like I do...head bobbin, eyes closed, wrinkled nose and swaying shoulders. Feeling the whole song!

I took down a lot of bike rivals listening to Soundgarden's Outshined, playing Road Rash 3 on my PS1 in the early 2000s.

Chris suffered from depression. Many songs, if not most by Soundgarden and Audioslave reflect this dark side. Very deep chit when you drill down on the lyrics.

Lex I just love watching and listening to your reactions to hard rock. I think you rock. Keep it up girl 😘

That's a crisp ending. Very respectable.

Back in the wayyyy early 90s there was a 3 week period where i got Tool Opiate or Undertow, Alice In Chains Facelift, and Soundgarden Badmotorfinger to add to Nirvana, Jane’s Addiction ( Ritual ) and Rage. All of them within a one year period. I would love to have another year like that musically but the chances of it happening are conservatively about 0.0 percent. Listening to these 2 react takes me back to that year if only for a while. Awesome.

Brad - Did you listen to the lyrics? Lex - Pffffffft. me - YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

Chris is singing about his battle with anxiety and depression.

I used to stay up late on school nights to watch Headbanger's Ball on MTV just to hear this song. 1992ish

I remember hearing this song on the radio when it first came out and was an instant fan.
