I fangirl over Chris' vocals nearly every day of my life. I hurt myself all the time trying to sing along

As a singer, what Chris can do is truly rare. I can sing Alice and chains, Pearl Jam and stone temple pilots because that’s the standard baritone/high baritone vocal range. Chris is so amazing because he is a tenor with a low register of a baritone. So he can start a song of sound like a classic high baritone. And I can sing that part of the song. And then Chris will belt those high notes out at that only he and few other people can hit. And then you can see why he was a one a kind. The greatest singer in rock.

This might be a stupid point, but as someone who isn't fit to sing in anything other than a punk band, the one who causes me difficulty is Eddie. Chris obviously covers a far higher range across a song but it feels like the parts are more like overlays and if you pick an octave and sit in it you can can sing it and someone will be like "Yep, that's an absolute terrible version of Jesus Christ Pose." When it comes to Eddie he seems to use far more - range is the wrong word but variation or tonal leaps - within the melody and that can be surprisingly hard to replicate because you'll be merrily singing in your low gut and then suddenly the next word is hello-head-voice.

@mr.noride7226

2 жыл бұрын

@@kjaamor2057 That’s an interesting point. I do seem to notice that. Chris Cornell, though singing really high, stays around the same octave. Eddie is more unpredictable because he changes his pitch when you don’t expect. Sudden changes between normal voice and head voice are what make my voice crack and is hard for me to do.

I still can’t accept the loss of Cornell. Never has a famous person’s death bothered me so much.

I saw Soundgarden perform this song live back in 2014. The show was amazing but the memory of this particular song is my favorite and stands out the most. Of all the songs they played Outshined must have resonated the most with the audience because it seemed everyone there was singing along at the top of their lungs. It seemed to me that the band noticed and was moved by it. I watched Chris react to the audience's feedback and they all seemed to get into it even more. It was one of those magical concert moments that happen far too infrequently. I'm glad I got to be there for it, and to see my favorite grunge band live before he passed away.

SG's "deep cuts" are just on a different level - there's just so many exceptional songs to choose from!!!

“If it sounded cool then it was cool”. My favorite part of being a teenager with my friends playing music.

Terry Date also produced Pantera. He's one of my favorites. White Pony is a masterpiece (in my eyes).

"It was a Soundgarden song." - All the explanation necessary for this (or any other) song's greatness 🔥🔥

The best thing about this video is not even Rick's usual insights about song building, it's how he thoroughly enjoys the music he is discussing. His passion for the band - specially for Cornell's voice - really shines through. I love how honest and heartfelt this is. There was a lot of soul in there. Thanks for posting this, Rick!

To hear those isolated vocal lines gave me some serious goosebumps.

This album blew my mind. The sound was unlike anything I've heard prior. It changed my own playing/writing. The song that made me rethink everything I thought I knew: "Outshined". The guitar riff in that song is epic. ....and the breakdown in "Rusty Cage"...whew!!!

When I sing this song I can hit that last high note. In fact, I can hit the high ones and the low ones...it's the ones in the middle that escape me. Too high for my chest voice and too low for my head voice.

There's an error in your description, should read: "the loss of Chris Cornell has been a major blow to -rock- music."

The verse riff is one of my favorites of all time. *And when this album came out...Chris Cornell became my favorite Rock vocalist of all time. When this came out I was in my late teens. Never heard anyone sing like that and never will again. RIP Chris.

@Luke Robinett Agreed 110% I was a music junky since I was 4 years old and then I heard this album when it came out and I was absolutely FLOORED. I just couldn't believe his range. My wife and I saw Cornell on his last solo acoustic tour and all those years later his vocals were still blowing me away. That solo acoustic tour is in my top 5 concerts of all time. About a year later he was gone.

I hear these songs 1000 times but after you break them down like this I appreciate them soooooo much more.

Chris Cornell was my first and only celebrity crush as a tween and teen. Like he was prancing around shirtless in the Outshined video and that was all my teenaged girl hormones saw. The music captivated me, much like with Nirvana at that time, but Soundgarden was just.... different. Chris Cornell's passing is the hardest celebrity death ever for me. It has been almost 6 years and it still bothers me, and I don't know why or how to explain it. Badmotorfinger was a great album, the whole thing, front to back, but my favorite Soundgarden album has to be Down on the Upside for its sheer craziness and outlandish grooves, odd time signatures, and eeriness. I miss that sound, I miss those times, I miss that man. Man. The 90s.

Hearing these isolated vocals from Chris is both jaw dropping and emotionally flooring. Thank you so much for these videos, Rick. This is important and educational work. You inspire and motivate us daily.

'Looking California, but feeling Minnesota'... Chris in a nutshell. Such a coo,l loving guy. Saw him at the show at The Fox in Atlanta the week before he left us. Complete fluke...a buddy of mine planned to take his son, but his son had a last minute conflict and he called to invite me. Here still had it, and as you said, all of that power was on tap without seeing to exert himself... Truly a rock god. Losing him and Tom Petty so close together has left a big hole in my heart. Rick, I don't think I commented, but I really appreciate that video you did the day after Chris died. It was a great tribute and just what I needed at that moment. Just wanted to say thanks.

This song simply NEVER gets old!

Spot on about Chris Cornell. I was at the last Soundgarden show at The Fox Theater in Detroit. He will truly be missed.

"If it sounds cool, then it is cool." Words to live by.

Superunknown is my favorite Soundgarden song. Every time I listen to it I hear something new, would love to see an episode on it.

Soundgarden recorded songs in a way as if they had been playing them live for years and slowly perfected them. Awesome! Thank you Rick!

“Im lookin California but feelin Minnesota,” what a line!

He should do Digital Bath, White Pony is a great album.

There’s never been a rock singer like Chris Cornell. What he does as an artist is up there with the very best - Plant or Dio - but the man had vocal chords constructed from some unearthly material. It should not be possible for a human being to make sounds like that. Perfectly produced and without force or undue effort yet, seemingly, with limitless power and range. The first time I heard him was on the Badmotorfinger songs in ‘91: I’m no less astonished at this superhuman singer today than I was then. Memory eternal, Chris.

Amazing hi-hat/snare patterns by Matt in the bridge section

I have a lot of favorite bands but Soundgarden are definitely one of my top 5, amazing musicians, I discovered their music at a crucial time and age for myself, I was really lost, very self-destructive, I even wonder if their writing contributed to my behavior at the time...and going back now and sitting with them and their music, Flower, Ultramega OK, Louder Than Love,(!), Badmotorfinger, Superunknown, Down On The Upside, especially their early stuff bc it was so raw so in my face, I always felt they were the most incredible combo Sabbath, Zeppelin, and hardcore punk, among other influences ...yeah, wow...so grateful for them and what they contributed to my life. I cried like I lost a loved one the morning I heard abt Cornell. Still miss his talent and his presence. Blessings to the surviving members and to all true due hard fans out there. Thank you, again, Mr. Beato, you are a true godsend. I love ur enthusiasm. Even at 55, you make me want to pick up my guitar and keep at it.

I can already tell I’m gonna be watching this video whenever I’m missing Chris. Those soloed vocals. Good. God.

Oh man, I love everything you do Rick and I had to comment on this one to thank you as I could see your emotion when you were talking about Chris. When I heard the news about Chris passing I had to take the next day off work which was a Friday to listen to all my Soundgarden, Temple of The Dog, Audioslave and Chris' solo stuff and just cry like I'd lost a family member because it really did feel like I had. On the Saturday I decided to throw what I guess you'd call a "wake" for Chris at my place. I invited all my friends who loved Chris as well and we listen to all my vinyl relating to him, drank and told stories about Chris and when we'd seen him live and it was so good to share the pain together and appreciate Chris. I still get emotional when I think about what happened but I do get pleasure knowing he is at peace now and his legacy will live on forever! ❤️

Amazing. Thank you Rick! Love that bridge - and tend to forget that it's very "straight" compared to the Soundgarden sound, yet it fits perfectly. The parts where you're left speechless over the vox pretty much sums up CC's vocal mastery. RIP Chris.. we'll miss and love you forever.

Finally, someone who appreciates Chris Cornell as much as I do!

This was the first Soundgarden song I ever heard. Great tune. Love this series!

@@saddestchord7622 Remember walking into a local Peaches record and tapes store and purchasing both the LTL album and BMF. It's amazing how much the band matured in such a short amount of time- between the recording of LTL and Bad Motor Finger-- the BMF album is a CLASSIC! Chris Cornell was the best singer/songwriter out of the 90's and the very best out of Seattle in my humble opinion :)

Ok, Rick, I’ve been watching you do these things for YEARS … and I think you have to admit this: you have never had as much fun playing guitar on one of these as you did on this song!!! Great to see you enjoy playing at that level! Dude, start a grunge band, just because. I know you’re a guitarist, but there’s a whole mater class to be taught on Matt’s drumming in the bridge, though anyone would agree, the best part of the song is indeed where the snare, kick, bass and guitar hit those stabs on 1& &3 4& 6e at the end, just spectacular. This video could have been 15 minutes longer, lol. Thanks

the effortless singing mention is spot on. i would say the same of layne staley.

This was the song that started me on Soundgarden. Ended up being my favorite band and favorite singer most of all. RIP Cornell

Pretty noose would be a fantastic one to analyze from the later albums...but this one is incredible, so I'm quite glad it was chosen! LOVE it! My Wave as well!

Always AWESOME when you dig into Soundgarden's songs. Cornell is brilliant. I wonder if you'll ever try Pink Floyd in any WMTSG.

This is like the fifth time I've watched both of your Soundgarden videos because I love your content and I love Soundgarden so much. Every member of Soundgarden is really underrated at what they do: Kim is an incredible and unique guitarist and soloist, Matt is phenomenal and if not for Dave Grohl would be the best drummer of the grunge era, and Ben brings such an incredible power and grit to his bass playing (not to mention being a great songwriter alongside Chris). What can I say about Chris that hasn't been said a million times in a million different ways? The best singer in rock history, an incredible voice that was both smooth as butter and with more power than a nuclear bomb. Songwriting throughout his entire career (with Soundgarden, Audioslave, TotD, and solo work) is just phenomenal and inspiring. He's also one of the most underrated rhythm guitarists in rock as well.

Rick, Chris Cornell is my favorite rock singer ever, too. The sheer vocal ability there bumped Robert Pant to #2, and his songwriting ability was second to NONE. I will never stop missing CC.
