@@Johnsmith-pd3uk i'm so jealous :( grew up on grunge b/c my 19 year old aunt used to babysit me. can't take a 4 year old to a concert though *weeps* it was really the last great era of rock music
Same here, I still love that this was before PJ got together officially. I remember Chris & Eddie talking about how this came about, where Chris was trying to sing both parts in the chorus & Eddie just came in to duet with him. The rest is history & we got a true, simple masterpiece.
I think this song is gorgeous. Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell have 2 different types of hard rock voices... and I love hearing them singing overlapping lyrics. Vedder's voice is smooth and resonant... and Cornell's is raw with some raspiness to it.
Every time I feel like I am too old, I stop and think that I want it both ways. At the same time I am wishing to be younger, I also wish I was just a bit older solely so I could have had a chance to see this stuff live. (Or had parents who were a lot less protective and would let me go to concerts as a teenager). I feel so lucky to have grown up with this kind of music.
There is a song Cornell did with Layne and Alice in Chains called "Right Turn". It's not a smash hit or anything, though still a good tune. All of these guys really were buddies. Seeing how many of them couldn't and didn't make it, despite all that talent you'll probably see never again, truly is a tragedy.
That whole Temple of the Dog album is brilliant. Say hello 2 Heaven is a beautifully written song by Cornell about his friend Andrew Wood who passed away. You already know how good he is and as an album opener, wow. He absolutely nails it and makes this the tribute album it is. Just a little history.... Mother Love Bone members Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament Lose their lead Singer Andrew Wood to a heroin overdose just as their debut album is about to be released and ends a potentially great career. Wood’s favorite singer is Freddie mercury and his style and presence as a front man are reminiscent of him. He had the potential of being a real star. Soundgarden members Chris Cornell and Matt Cameron pull together Jeff and Stone to record an album for Wood. Mike Mcready and Eddie Vedder had recently hooked up with Stone and Jeff and had started playing together trying to get something going after the disappointment of Mother Love Bone. This 2 week recording session ended up being a sort of, exploration or stepping stone for Stone, Jeff, Mike and Eddie. They made this album and it put them in a mindset and position to move on and record Pearl Jam’s debut album Ten and the rest is history.
@@carleckert6794 I don't think it's a play on words. Here's the story behind that. “I was thinking a lot about Andrew Wood at the time. We always had a great time when we did hang out, much like Chris Cornell and I do. There was never really a serious moment or conversation, it was all fun. Andy was a hilarious guy, full of life and it was really sad to lose him. But I always hate people who judge the decisions others make. So it was also directed towards people who pass judgments.”
Veder has an unusual draw back of his vowels and Cornell moves from nearly conversational speech to his highest octave with ease but they both exude such power.
Sounds like a choir to me, now, I'm going to get F*d up drunk (Swedish Vodka haah), and listening to Chris, and Prince, and Prefab Sprout... [who th F said that?]. No no Pretty Nooze. That album, every one a strike.
@@tompaul2591 It is a song about corporate America. "I don't mind stealing bread from the mouths of decadents... I can't feed on the powerless when my cup's already overfilled." In the 90s, many grunge bands were in a massive fight against TicketMaster. They were jacking up the prices to concerts, which were pissing off the bands. Grunge artists were content to take less money and play in smaller venues, just to get their music out to the people.
@@kyndread71 yep I remember that. About the time I quit going to concerts period. Didnt like new music anymore but I didnt blame the artists. I would have done the same.
@@tompaul2591 If only the Hollywood elite, artists, and musicians followed this, as well as all those over paid atheletes who do NOTHING, NOTHING for their former communities. Do dump this all on corporate America. There are plenty of big companies that give money to charaties. I used to work for a petroleum company and I know how much money our little arm of it dumped into the local economy. In a town of 12,000, they put over $160,000 into various programs for the school, the food banks, the atheletic clubs and every church in the area. I bet if you checked you would find that corporate America gives more than you think.
Chris Cornell and Layne Staley had such HUGE voices that you literally feel them shake a room! You could honestly see and feel a force of nature like no one else! All these bands are from Seattle and came up together!
I wouldn't say incredible - that estimation would go to Chris Cornell - but Eddie Vedder was certainly a very good singer and frontman back in the day.
The thought of Chris Cornell, Eddie Vedder and Layne Staley doing a song together was enough to give me instant goosebumps. Would have been amazing or to much for the brain to handle
Chris Bertoli And what the heck, throw the late Scott Weiland into the mix as well. He could have an amazingly beautiful voice when the occasion called for it.
God rest Chris Cornell and his voice..this collaboration was one of the great ones..Eddie and Chris both have distinct voices that compliment each other..this is a great song that doesnt ever seem to age with time..good music is good music and this will last forever
I love that you embrace this genre of music. This is pure talent, no enhancers or auto tune. Hunger Strike is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES! This was what I got to listen in my teens years! Chris Cornell’s voice is amazing. Eddie Veder’s voice is intense and compliments Chris’s. Thank God I grew up with this music.💯🎶🤘🏼
I was born in Seattle and was just a tad too young to experience the grunge era (born in 85). But watching this video with the Puget Sound etc. is giving me the nostalgia feels, haha.
Chris and Eddie are legends for a reason. Weird to see people that do not know them, but fun to see him experience it. He is right, you FEEL their lyrics. Too bad he didn't get to see Chris perform live. It was even more magical.
@@jennyzielke7642 Hell yeah! I first saw Soundgarden back in '94 when I was still in high school, and they were opening for Pearl Jam and Neil Young. Chris still had long hair, and absolutely shredded Jesus Christ Pose. He was grunge Jesus. Pearl Jam came back out and jammed a 20 min. version of Rockin' In The Free World with Neil as the final encore. It truly was a formative religious experience, and one of the best shows I've ever seen. Amazing stuff.
The Seattle scene was unlike any other. The bands loved, respected, helped, and supported each other. Even the well established Seattle bands like Heart and Queensryche loved and supported the then small fries like A.I.C, Soundgarden, Nirvana, and Pearl Jam. It truly was a special time in music. Raw, real, open, honest music from people that lived and breathed their art everyday with passion. Just watch the Pearl Jam documentary 20 by James Cameron. You'll see our scene in a whole new light.
this is the first recording Eddie ever did in a for real studio. i don't think this song necessarily needed a second singer, but it was incredibly generous of Chris to take him under his wing. i bet he learned so much. RIP, Chris.
This is what I would call Alternative Rock's soul. I remember this song years ago. I love my blues and R and B, but I can appreciate the deep lyrics and soul from alternative rock.
Bill Bryant I agree with you - There is no other song that has ever put so many chills up my spine - I mean we have lots of them but Hunger Strike hit you just where it needed it to - I also love say hello to heaven. ..... they don’t make music like this today .....
Chris Cornell had the voice of an Angel. He was absolutely awesome. There will never be be another Chris Cornell. The Beautiful Keeper R.I.P. 🙏🏽🕊 Eddie is absolutely a great singer too. We miss Chris so much forever in our hearts ♥️🌹♥️ THANK you for sharing this beautiful video and God Bless 🙏🏽 Chris was absolutely beautiful inside and out 🌹
The Story about how Eddie ended up on this track is amazing. he was quite literally in the right place at the right time and took a chance. Chris was warming up and wasn't happy with the low notes and Eddie was waiting for Pearl Jam to get their audio check and was sitting off the side of the stage when he spontaneously walked on stage and just started singing counter to Chris. The rest is history.
A great story that is almost entirely untrue. Pearl Jam didn't really exist while Temple of The Dog was a thing. Gossard and Ament were still in Mother Love Bone the death of their singer was the dedication for Temple of the Dogs existence. This band, of which Vedder wasn't a member but just a guest vocalist, would be where they ultimately got to try out Vedder in action and decided to make a band with him. Which would be Mookie Blaylock and not even Pearl jam yet, at the time of this albums release, because they didn't become Pearl Jam until signing with Epic Records. So if anything, Eddie was waiting for Mookie Blaylock to get their soundcheck haha.
@@ProudFilthyCasual You need to read up on your history mate, both singers have confirmed it happened, Pearl Jam where called Mookie Blaylock at the time. Same band, different name, The band played its first official show at the Off Ramp Café in Seattle on October 22, 1990.
@@hammerhiem75 It is patently false to say he was waiting on a Pearl Jam soundcheck when they didn't exist yet. It wasn't happenstance as you claim. Cornell knew him from hearing his audition tapes from Ament, before they even formed Mookie. Sure he walked up and started singing the counter part, but that's about the only thing you said that was true lol.
Eddie Vedder and the guys were in the process of forming Pearl Jam at the time when they were approached by Chris Cornell and drummer Matt Cameron of Soundgarden to do a tribute album to the late singer Andrew Wood of the group Mother Love Bone who had just OD'd. They called the group Temple of the Dog after lyrics from a Mother Love Bone song. They only put out the one Temple of the Dog album.
Qthelost 👍 To add on to this, I’d recommend reacting to/checking out Mother Love Bone -Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns to see their influences and an early example of what grew into the Seattle grunge scene.
From my understanding, Chris wrote the first two songs Reach Down and Say Hello to Heaven in honor of Andrew Wood. He didn't feel that they were Soundgarden type material so he gave them to Jeff Ament to find a good use for. It was then Jeff who suggested getting together members of the two bands and recording them. They ended up writing and recording an entire album as we all know.
@@newcod69 AMEN!!!! Wooden Jesus and Times of Trouble are absolutely phenomenal. Chris's vocals on both are two of my all-time favorite vocals of his from any of his projects. Add Beyond the Wheel from UltraMega OK and you have my Holy Trinity of Chris's vocal masterpieces.
Thanks for doing my request!!! Great reaction :). I’ve always thought their two voices worked perfectly together. Eddie’s voice is like a rock solid anchor that allows Chris’s voice to soar in such a balanced way. Two amazing singers.
@@jamelakajamal if you'd like to hear Layne and Chris on the same song, check out "Right Turn" from Alice in Chains Sap EP. It's a little more low key then this but still really good.
fringe? WTF are talking about. these guys performed, and wrote there own music an lyrics. that was the start of alternative/ grunge rock. todays music is bullshit corporate song writers with idiots performing a circus act for the machine. you will never hear music like this again. be happy there are still some genX-ers out there making music the best way. write your own lyrics, music and perform it yourself. the younger generations produce garbage. i guess when you have been handed everything you whole life and had no real struggles you have nothing to write about
This was before Chris had 3 throat surgeries due to drinkin.. I mean you can tell he was recovering during Audioslave but man those songs in Audioslave are still one of my favorites of his. SoundGarden - Fell on Black Days, Live or Studio man.. or SoundGarden - Outshined. live or studio also. Thank you for the reaction man.. RiP Chris Cornell.
Layne is the lead singer of Alice and Chains...Mas Season came after Alice and Chains which Layne is also the lead singer for. Unfortunately, only one album got put out by Mad Season. Hope this helps what is being thrown at you Jamal. From the Great Karen Carpenter to Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder you are the best RUclipsR reviewer. You have the most respect for music itself. Thank you! Not to mention Vince Gill in your reviews..by far one of my favorite videos.
Chris Cornell had a way of resonating every word he sung into his followers souls. Then when somebody new came across his voice they too fell in love like his voice was a beautiful whirlpool of notes that had the ability to hypnotize those who heard it.
Loving this Seattle Grunge Music. I hope you can check out Mad Season sometime. It was Layne Staley’s band after Alice In Chains. Recommend Wake Up,River of Deceit or Long Gone Day
51 year's old and i hear this it HUNGER STRIKE AS YOU SAID GOOSEBUMPS I STILL GET A LUMP IN MY THROAT and some one Chuck's sand in my eyes tears TEMPLE OF THE DOG i brought When it was released just a young dude who had NO IDEA HOW GOOD LIFE WAS THEN I'm lucky to have seen SOUND GARDEN 3 TIME'S ....R.I.P CHRIS CORNELL AND ALL OUR FRIENDS FAMILY and MUSICAL HERO'S WHO DIDN'T MAKE IT TO THE NEXT GIG
Man trust me on this.. Right now you should turn right around and watch them do this live in Alpine Valley 9/4/2011. Pearl Jam with Chris Cornell - hunger strike. Just trust me!!!!
Iam so glad to hear you .being a black man. giving these artists. being white men. your praise.. truth is truth. truth has no color it is crystal clear.when we live in truth life is much clearer. E,V.S.
Live at the Moore Theater Temple of the Dog Say Hello to Heaven It was the same night as Pearl Jam's 2nd live performance, Alice in Chains was the headliner. That's also the night the Love Hate Love and Bleed the Freak live at the Moore videos were recorded.
Dude Chris Cornell is sacred to us like Marvin Gaye something special in life and you recognize that that we all recognize and I appreciate your honesty keep up the videos
drawn in by your Allman bros reaction, enjoyed the first time reaction, I would suggest Muddy Waters - Mississippi Delta Blues, Freddie King - Palace of the King (Studio), Voodoo Child - Jimi Hendrix, Lucille - BB King, Albert King - Born Under a Bad Sign, Jailhouse Blues - Lightnin Hopkins. I dont expect you to review them all of maybe not 1 but you have a wide expansive taste of music and expect you will enjoy these, great stuff man
The talent in the early 90's was off the charts, especially in the Seattle music scene. I don't think the grunge era of rock gets the praise it deserves. Imagine having two singers as huge as Chris and Eddie turned out to be singing a duet on the same song now days. Not gonna happen.
So happy do did and enjoyed Hunger Strike. Thank you so much. There's another band that ChrisI called Audioslave, I'd like to request you react to Cochise by Audioslave it rocks ✌.✌💜🎶
99X Big Day Out: I watched Cornell sing live and it was like an angel crying. Women sprayed their pants and men wept. The seas parted and peasants threw their first born’s into a chasm. The lame walked and the blind could finally see. It was the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in my life.
Quick history: Mother Love Bone lead singer Andrew Wood died in 1990. Chris Cornell offered to help the band bring the unrecorded songs to life. With the help of Eddie Vedder they teamed up with the remaining members of Mother Love Bone and cranked out an album that exploded on the radio in 1991. It sold well but didn't top the charts. A year later it picked up momentum and finally got the attention it deserved. It hit platinum and Andrew Wood's dream became reality. This was one of the best collaborations of the decade. So many great songs, especially Pushing Forward Back which made it to the Benny and June soundtrack which starred a young Johnny Depp.
i love both versions completely, they both seem to have different meanings, ones more happy and ones more depressing, chris himself said no one could top that song but he wanted to show his talent and love for that song, what an incredible talent we have lost too soon
Why does it make me so happy when someone discovers something I've loved for all these years .
It's fun to watch people experience things for the first time.

Eddie was painfully shy, and Chris helped bring him out of his shell. I'm deeply grateful that I got to experience this music as it happened.
I was lucky enough to live here in Seattle and in high school during this whole evolution of music.

The balance of Cornell’s higher register and Vedder’s lower tone gives the song its incredible feel.
Yes, it's a good thing Eddie was around to join in.
Extraordinary mouthfeel
I think this song is gorgeous.
Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell have 2 different types of hard rock voices... and I love hearing them singing overlapping lyrics.
Vedder's voice is smooth and resonant... and Cornell's is raw with some raspiness to it.
Amen! Solid musical gold 👌
UTU49 and at the same time they both release top notch emotion to the song
A bittersweet reminder of the days when Seattle was still a fun little city.
I still love it there
Ya, all that heroin - must have been a blast. lol
I'm born and bred in he North of England but I feel if I could pick any scene in time I'd grow up in the 90s in Seattle.
My best friend lived in Seattle during this period...she was unfortunately a raver and not super into the grudge scene! So disappointed in her!!!!
"Fun" is a frame of mind. Go have more of it.
Man, '90's grunge has a place in my heart. So glad that was the music of my teen years. :)
silverlightx6. I’m with you. I was born in 1979 and this reminds me of the summer before high school and beyond. Such great music!! Gotta love it!

Chris Cornell was everything. His voice was so epic. I literally have him and the various bands he was in on heavy rotation.
Soundgarden superunknown is like the best sh*t ever. I listen to that album from start to finish.
One of the greatest rock voices ever. Still sad about that one.
Come to my club Chandra honoring him. Chris Cornell Fanclub on FB, all are welcome.

Sure he walked up and started singing the counter part, but that's about the only thing you said that was true lol.
Chris Cornell Is All Passion !! A Heartbreaking Loss !! 😢💔 No One Could ever Replace Chris...Much Love..❤🎶🎵🎼✌
But that shirt....
Mess with the bull, you get the horns. 🤘🏼Killer!!!!
Great reaction brother!
Thanks🙏🏾
These two singers coming together when both bands were still young and still were raw.............. it was perfect!!
I was in middle school and high school during that era and, man, the music was just unreal. So many great bands.
Me too. I wish I had gone to more shows and explored it further while it was going on.
Amen
Same
There will never be another Chris Cornell. The talent of that man brings me to tears... Every time.
Eddie Vedder and the guys were in the process of forming Pearl Jam at the time when they were approached by Chris Cornell and drummer Matt Cameron of Soundgarden to do a tribute album to the late singer Andrew Wood of the group Mother Love Bone who had just OD'd. They called the group Temple of the Dog after lyrics from a Mother Love Bone song. They only put out the one Temple of the Dog album.
Qthelost 👍 To add on to this, I’d recommend reacting to/checking out Mother Love Bone -Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns to see their influences and an early example of what grew into the Seattle grunge scene.
From my understanding, Chris wrote the first two songs Reach Down and Say Hello to Heaven in honor of Andrew Wood. He didn't feel that they were Soundgarden type material so he gave them to Jeff Ament to find a good use for. It was then Jeff who suggested getting together members of the two bands and recording them. They ended up writing and recording an entire album as we all know.
Audioslave - Show me how to live
Soundgarden - Outshined, Burden in my hand, 4th of July
🤘 love the videos man
My favorite from Audio Slave has got to be Doesn't Remind Me
The entire Temple album is flawless. This incredible song isn't even my favorite.
wooden jesus
say hello to heaven for me, Chris
@@newcod69 AMEN!!!! Wooden Jesus and Times of Trouble are absolutely phenomenal. Chris's vocals on both are two of my all-time favorite vocals of his from any of his projects. Add Beyond the Wheel from UltraMega OK and you have my Holy Trinity of Chris's vocal masterpieces.
Pushin
Reach down and pushing forward back is pure awesomeness
I turned 50 yesterday, I grew up on this music. except for older music 90's music is about all I listen to 👍
Rest In Peace Chris 🙏❤️
One of the my favorite song of all time ♥️
Thanks for doing my request!!! Great reaction :). I’ve always thought their two voices worked perfectly together. Eddie’s voice is like a rock solid anchor that allows Chris’s voice to soar in such a balanced way. Two amazing singers.
Thanks for Requesting 🙏🏾
@@jamelakajamal if you'd like to hear Layne and Chris on the same song, check out "Right Turn" from Alice in Chains Sap EP.
It's a little more low key then this but still really good.
The heart and soul of grunge togather in one song.
Chris is the soul, Eddie is the heart.
fringe? WTF are talking about. these guys performed, and wrote there own music an lyrics. that was the start of alternative/ grunge rock. todays music is bullshit corporate song writers with idiots performing a circus act for the machine. you will never hear music like this again. be happy there are still some genX-ers out there making music the best way. write your own lyrics, music and perform it yourself. the younger generations produce garbage. i guess when you have been handed everything you whole life and had no real struggles you have nothing to write about
@@vonn4017 lol, autocorrect doesn't like the word grunge it seems.
This was before Chris had 3 throat surgeries due to drinkin.. I mean you can tell he was recovering during Audioslave but man those songs in Audioslave are still one of my favorites of his.
SoundGarden - Fell on Black Days, Live or Studio man.. or SoundGarden - Outshined. live or studio also. Thank you for the reaction man.. RiP Chris Cornell.
I got to see PJ and Soundgarden in concert in the 90's and i love me some Chris Cornell may he rest in peace.
Layne is the lead singer of Alice and Chains...Mas Season came after Alice and Chains which Layne is also the lead singer for. Unfortunately, only one album got put out by Mad Season. Hope this helps what is being thrown at you Jamal. From the Great Karen Carpenter to Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder you are the best RUclipsR reviewer. You have the most respect for music itself. Thank you! Not to mention Vince Gill in your reviews..by far one of my favorite videos.
One of the THREE GREATEST ROCK SINGERS..!
Robert Plant
Chris Cornell
Axel Rose..
no one can touch them.. not even close.
Alexander Stewart no question buddy
There’s a song named “Right Turn” by Alice In Chains where Layne Staley and Chris Cornell sing on the same track. You should check it out.
This is such a DEEP Song !! Glad U Liked it Jamal ! peace out !
Temple of the Dog -Say Hello To Heaven
Or Chris Cornell- say hello to heaven (LIVE version ) !!!
Dude 90s music was soulful no matter who you are.
This is one of my all time favorite songs. Straight up. One of the first songs I ever learned on guitar. RIP Chris
My all time fav. Too. Check out the live version with Chris and Chester Bennington. Amazing. RIP guys
I cried when I heard the news when Chris Cornell died. Like a big chunk of my teenage youth chipped away
Man I miss the 90's! What an era of music.
So tragic that these guys never found their peace. They collectively helped so many of us through so much, but never could find what they needed.
Yeah. Thanks for mentioned Layne Stanley 💞
Fernanda Pereira
Pls do live “love hate love”
That place/generation brought forth several of the greatest rock singers of all time. Loved it back then, love it today.
"The guy in the back doing the singing....." love it
Chris's voice always took you to a different place. He made you feel what the words were and what he was feeling. R.I.P. Chris.
Chris and Eddie's awesome voices compliment each other so well. I loved this whole album
Such an aweseome song. If you don't feel something with this song, check your pulse and soul.
Nailed it Jamel! Chris Cornell enough said 💞 That whole album, oh my, you have to listen for just you!
The GREAT Eddie Vedder, that's his name, don't forget it, he doesn't get enough credit. LOVED Chris Cornell, sucks SO BAD he's gone.
All this grunge stuff is really taking me back!
Chris Cornell had a way of resonating every word he sung into his followers souls. Then when somebody new came across his voice they too fell in love like his voice was a beautiful whirlpool of notes that had the ability to hypnotize those who heard it.
Loving this Seattle Grunge Music. I hope you can check out Mad Season sometime. It was Layne Staley’s band after Alice In Chains. Recommend Wake Up,River of Deceit or Long Gone Day
Mark Lanegan had/has another unique style that is awesome. Long Gone Day... man...
For some reason it makes me so happy to see black dudes enjoying these hard rock/metal jams from younger days.
There is a version of this live with Chris and Chester Bennington. It brings me to tears every time.
That version it is so beautiful and chilling!
Absolutely the best version in my opinion because Chris and Chester become one. Soulmates.
51 year's old and i hear this it HUNGER STRIKE AS YOU SAID GOOSEBUMPS I STILL GET A LUMP IN MY THROAT and some one Chuck's sand in my eyes tears TEMPLE OF THE DOG i brought When it was released just a young dude who had NO IDEA HOW GOOD LIFE WAS THEN I'm lucky to have seen SOUND GARDEN 3 TIME'S ....R.I.P CHRIS CORNELL AND ALL OUR FRIENDS FAMILY and MUSICAL HERO'S WHO DIDN'T MAKE IT TO THE NEXT GIG
Man trust me on this.. Right now you should turn right around and watch them do this live in Alpine Valley 9/4/2011. Pearl Jam with Chris Cornell - hunger strike. Just trust me!!!!
Eddie Vedder, Pearl jam & Chris Cornell ..Major Legend..No one has a Voice like Chris...RIP Chris..💔Heartbreaking...Much Love💕❤🎼✌🙏😉😢😊
RIP Chris Cornell ✝️ My 3 year old son always wants me to play this song for him. He loves it! Timeless piece of art right there. Nice reaction
Iam so glad to hear you .being a black man. giving these artists. being white men. your praise.. truth is truth. truth has no color it is crystal clear.when we live in truth life is much clearer. E,V.S.
Live at the Moore Theater Temple of the Dog Say Hello to Heaven It was the same night as Pearl Jam's 2nd live performance, Alice in Chains was the headliner. That's also the night the Love Hate Love and Bleed the Freak live at the Moore videos were recorded.
We've lost so many good ones music will never be the same RIP CHRIS CORNELL ❤
Two of the best. Chris will be missed by all. In my top 10 songs.
Dude Chris Cornell is sacred to us like Marvin Gaye something special in life and you recognize that that we all recognize and I appreciate your honesty keep up the videos
drawn in by your Allman bros reaction, enjoyed the first time reaction, I would suggest Muddy Waters - Mississippi Delta Blues, Freddie King - Palace of the King (Studio), Voodoo Child - Jimi Hendrix, Lucille - BB King, Albert King - Born Under a Bad Sign, Jailhouse Blues - Lightnin Hopkins. I dont expect you to review them all of maybe not 1 but you have a wide expansive taste of music and expect you will enjoy these, great stuff man
The talent in the early 90's was off the charts, especially in the Seattle music scene. I don't think the grunge era of rock gets the praise it deserves. Imagine having two singers as huge as Chris and Eddie turned out to be singing a duet on the same song now days. Not gonna happen.
Oh man, Soundgarden "slaves & bulldozers". Cornell *soars* on that song. Such a loss.
So happy do did and enjoyed Hunger Strike. Thank you so much. There's another band that ChrisI called Audioslave, I'd like to request you react to Cochise by Audioslave it rocks ✌.✌💜🎶
This song is an experience. Can’t really say much more about it. Cornell and Vedder together are unbelievable.
You got to do "Say Hello to Heaven" album version first! It will definitely bring on the Stank Face!
Sgtpopo_5O_pig I agree amazing song -
Say hello to heaven - I’m surprised to see just how many people also loved it -
There will never be another era of music like the 90s
Why we feel in love with them. Beautiful North West Washington, they partied all night!
99X Big Day Out: I watched Cornell sing live and it was like an angel crying. Women sprayed their pants and men wept. The seas parted and peasants threw their first born’s into a chasm. The lame walked and the blind could finally see. It was the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in my life.
The three of them. Staley, Cornell and Vedder. Legends
Quick history: Mother Love Bone lead singer Andrew Wood died in 1990. Chris Cornell offered to help the band bring the unrecorded songs to life. With the help of Eddie Vedder they teamed up with the remaining members of Mother Love Bone and cranked out an album that exploded on the radio in 1991. It sold well but didn't top the charts. A year later it picked up momentum and finally got the attention it deserved. It hit platinum and Andrew Wood's dream became reality.
This was one of the best collaborations of the decade. So many great songs, especially Pushing Forward Back which made it to the Benny and June soundtrack which starred a young Johnny Depp.
Man, you must check out Soundgarden "Birth Ritual". Chris demonstrates all his chops in one song. 🔥🔥🔥
I still mourn all of my heroes who got lost in the storm;
No one sings like you anymore Chris.
Time to check out Chris’s version of Billie Jean (Michael Jackson)! He slows it down and it’s darker meaning comes out
I love his version of Billie Jean, not gonna lie I actually prefer it to Michael Jacksons.
i love both versions completely, they both seem to have different meanings, ones more happy and ones more depressing, chris himself said no one could top that song but he wanted to show his talent and love for that song, what an incredible talent we have lost too soon
I couldn't agree more. The thought of Layne joining forces with these cats is mind blowingly wonderful.
I’m still in denial that he is not with us anymore.
