I need more Chris Cornell in my life! I want to watch a ton of interviews with him. Thank you guys so much for checking out the channel! Much love to everyone reading this right now. I love y’all!!! ❤️🤘🏼❤️🤘🏼
There's a ton of Soundgarden you need to hear. Pretty Noose, Fell On Black Days, The Day I Tried To Live, Slaves and Bulldozers, Black Hole Sun... the list goes on and on.
Agreed! I actually never took it as a shot at MN, but a shot at CA. "Looking California" to me evokes a sense of shallowness, being concerned with the superficial, where "Feeling Minnesota" evokes a sense of honesty, a place where folks are more genuine.
OGGOAT_ _ Having a high range doesn’t mean you’re a good singer though. Does it help? Sure. But it’s more about the effectiveness of what you can do that makes you a good singer or not.
He was so sexy at this time I wanted to be just like him I think I practiced throwing my nipples against chains didn’t work the same Chris your a sexy man bro
One of the greatest vocalists we have ever had on this planet. He had a talent for songwriting, and his lyrics are pure poetry coupling that into his range and vocal timbre that surpassed several octaves, Cornell was unique in everything he did and his art touched so many, may he rest in peace CHRIS!!!
@Christopher Bingham Blame the labels, man. They decide what gets released and what doesn't. It's all in what they think will sell records. AND they're often wrong.
The coolest way of saying I'm looking hot and feeling cool. "I'm looking California and feeling Minnesota". 🙂 Love Chris and the bands he was in. Awesome reaction as always man!
Some songs are sooooo steeped in the nostalgia of their decade like this one, this takes me back to the grungy '90's and a flood gate of tone memories come to me of friends long since gone from my life. Great times, man.
theres a ton of great songs by audioslave, just can't pick one :D Show me how to live, doesn't remind me, your time has come, be yourself, i am the highway, revelations Our dude should really listen to "Man or Animal". That song is freaking cool ;]
Black Hole Sun would get my vote also. You got a like from me. I DID just look it up, and in an interview in 2018 Kim Thayil said that they might come back, but not as Soundgarden. So there's that, oh well. :-) 😅
"You did forget Layne Staley. Chris is good, but I'd put him in 2nd. Layne is the better singer of the history of the rock! Who is Cornell, Freddie Mercury, Robert Plant, Dio, Halford? Lol, Layne nail all of them!" ~ Layne Staley fans.
@@Lulustucru2393 🤦♂️ you're kidding me right?! Soundgarden is way more popular and way more legendary. They're part of the big 4 of grunge. Not to mention they wrote 2 of the greatest and most influential albums in heavy metal history, Badmotorfinger & Superunknown
Soundgarden: Fell on Black Days Jesus Christ Pose Black Hole Sun Like Suicide Rusty Cage Hunger Strike by Temple of the Dog (which is supergroup combining Soundgarden and Pearl Jam members before they were famous. Was released before Pearl Jam were popular). Eddie Vedder and Chris make for an awesome duo on this track.
Alex, you just opened up a fantastic box! Chris was fantastic, and Soundgarden, Audioslave, even back to Temple of the Dog, every one of his projects did amazing work. That man is sorely missed.
Soundgarden were an early part of the Seattle "grunge" movement. Chris Cornell was one of the four great singers of grunge, in fact he was probably the best of them. Sadly, only one the four is still with us. RIP Chris, Layne and Kurt. And, for God's sake, Eddie, please look after yourself.
Saw them live in 1988 and oh yea his voice was authentically. NSN: NO STUDIO NEEDED. TY very much!!!! May he rest in peace..since he was murdered hammercy!!
@@jonmarrie8093 That would be the quote from VH-1's behind the music, and exactly where I got it from. :) He was remarking about his position at the mic, chin hunched down, terrible form for a singer, yet still he peeled the paint from the ceiling with his voice.
This was “my band” in the late 80s. Was lucky enough to work with them when they played at my college in Wisconsin. Saw them again in Minneapolis about a week later. So fantastic!
Soundgarden actually was the band that got me into heavier music. I was inspired to want to sing because of Chris Cornell. Chris Cornell is my hero. Chris Cornell will live on through all of his fans. He is missed gravelly.
Rest in Peace Chris Cornell 🤘🤘🤘 I still think it's a shame what happened to him. Chris Cornell was AWESOME !!! I certainly agree with you, anytime you listen to Soundgarden there is an unwritten rule that says that you should TURN IT UP !!! Welcome down the Soundgarden rabbit hole. I certainly recommend more Soundgarden for instance Black Hole Sun, Fell on Black Days, Spoonman, Superunknown, Rusty Cage, among many more
The things I loved most about the couple times I saw Soundgarden back in the early and mid-90's.. the energy they brought and passed to us in the crowd and the fact that Chris sounded even better live.
The way this man could transition on a dime from a gut-wrenching scream to smooth and soulful melody and back again, often on the same word, is just amazing. Thirty years of being a fan and he will always be in my top 10. There will never be a voice like his again. RIP Chris.
So... you were thinking about Chris Cornell, but you probably didn't realize... he was the lead vocalist of Audioslave, a band that you already reacted in this channel, and you loved his voice that time too.
Soundgarden- Black hole sun Spoonman Fell on black days Rusty Cage Jesus Christ Pose Blow up the outside world Burden in my hand The day I tried to live Superunknown Black rain My wave
"Beyond The Wheel" and "Black Hole Sun" are two other songs by Soundgarden that you must check out! The first one will get you really amazed, specially if you listen to it live april 1990 (at least that's my favorite live version)
Dude.. You have an entire treasure chest of gold to dig through, with Chris Cornell. Soundgarden is my favorite of his projects, but he was involved in SO MUCH AWESOMENESS! I'm happy for you that you get to discover all of it for the first time! \m/ R.I.P Chris!
Chris Cornell is one of the greatest voices of rock music. I would recommend Audioslave- Exploder. Chris was part of several bands and did went solo. R.I.P Chris.
I've never seen someone enjoying an SG first reaction SO much . It made me smile to see people being exposed to the greats from my youth 🔥 I don't feel old, but if you've been a 90s alt rock fan in your teens , you still feel young in your head ...but lots of us in our 40s plus and with kids and some with grandkids 😄 Just got to the end of your vid. Very cool outro.
i remember when this came out, I saw it on the old Vanessa Warwick-presented Headbangers Ball on MTV (when it played music) and it was the first Soundgarden I heard. I was instantly hooked and came to love Chris' voice above most other singers on the planet... R.I.P. Chris - always a Legend
Idk, hard to top MJK, he excelled with Tool's new album :D With listening to Puscifer and Perfect Circle and how much variance he has, just a level above the others.
Just heard this on the radio this evening, first time in a while and thought how great it is to hear it again. Crazy that u choose this song to do today.
I saw Soundgarden open for Skid Row Feb. 1992 (this tour). Davenport, IA in a gymnasium. The bleachers were retracted and the baskets were raised. It was 1,000ish general admission. Both bands were absolutely amazing. Skid Row were headlining and had just released "Slave To The Grind". "Badmotorfinger" was just released and Soundgarden was on fire. A very different Soundgarden than many people ever saw live.
Alex , you totally git it regarding Chris Cornell and Soundgarden! He was extraordinary! Easy to see why these guys are possible inductees for the RRHOF this year! He was great friends with Linkin Park's Chester Bennington. Their voices are truly iconic! RIP CHRIS AND CHESTER! Rock on Alex!
You should react to "Room of thousand years wide", "Rusty cage", "Burned in my Hand", "Hands all over" and other songs by Soundgarden! They are the best of the grunge music era!
@Amanda A. I really feel my age when a band like this gets played. I may be listening to contemporary music now a days, but the old familiar is good too. :-) 😅👍
@Amanda A. Well sure! I've still got a LOT of my "old" favorites on my mp3 player, but there's also "new" stuff on it also. It's not too much of a surprise anymore when I see that there are so many older folks watching new music videos. I've kept an open mind with contemporary music, and i'm still expanding my play lists. :-D 👍 😅
@Amanda A. Some new music I've really liked, and am listening to (between my old favorites, of course) now a days, "Ledger", "We Are The In Crowd" (I HIGHLY recommend that band) I just found them, and there is not one single song they do that I don't like. (23 of them) and one more, "Orianthi" she's a rocker from Australia, (her name is also the bands name) she does lead vocals AND lead guitar. And she shreds her guitar. Check them out, you won't be sorry. :-D 😅
Amanda, Michael, y'all both might like Bobaflex. Pretty badass modern rock group out of West Virginia, of all places. Very talented... Some great covers and lots of great original tunes, too, with a pretty unique sound. Will worth a listen. Their take on The Sound Of Silence is amazing - much closer to the original Simon & Garfunkel version vocally, but with a nice, mildly hard edge in the instrumental aspect. It's an interesting blend. They also did a pretty accurate cover of Hey You by Pink Floyd. As for originals, check out "Bury Me With My Guns On" and "Last Song", among others.
I remember the first time I saw this video. I thought Long haired Chris Cornell with no shirt, shorts and combat boots on the beach!?!?! I LOVE IT!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ RIP Chris!!!
I need more Chris Cornell in my life! I want to watch a ton of interviews with him. Thank you guys so much for checking out the channel! Much love to everyone reading this right now. I love y’all!!! ❤️🤘🏼❤️🤘🏼
You are the man!!!!! Keep rocking!!!!!!
I'm proud to call myself a "Hefnerd" thank you for sharing your journey into metal.
✌💚🤘 (it's the only way to fly)
There's a ton of Soundgarden you need to hear. Pretty Noose, Fell On Black Days, The Day I Tried To Live, Slaves and Bulldozers, Black Hole Sun... the list goes on and on.
Definitely love your videos Alex, they're always a joy to watch and they always help to cheer me up and brighten my day ❤
Alex Hefner listen to sound garden burden in my hand and audioslave like a stone and stone temple pilots hungry
RIP Chris Cornell. One of the greatest vocalists ever.
Chris is a king
The best of them all
Theeeee Greatest.
damn right. gone to soon :(
I keep waiting for the day when it doesn't hurt to hear Chris's voice. Still feels like it was just yesterday when we lost him.
"Looking California but feeling Minnesota" might be one of the best lyrics of the 90s
Not might be, totally is lol
As from someone from MN, I've loved that line since I was 8 in 1996. Were a hardy folk up here. Not a shot Alex.
Agreed! I actually never took it as a shot at MN, but a shot at CA. "Looking California" to me evokes a sense of shallowness, being concerned with the superficial, where "Feeling Minnesota" evokes a sense of honesty, a place where folks are more genuine.
I’m from MN and I was not offended by that line at all. He was a phenomenal song writer.
Lookin' California ( lookin' tanned ) Feelin' Minnesota ( Feelin' cool )
Temple of the dog Hunger Strike might be up your alley
Great song and band
That song is a right of passage into 90s grunge
Oh god yes, Cornell and Vedder, vocal perfection.
Brief supergroup with a purpose.
I was going to say... you will lose your mind if you listen to some Temple of the Dog!
The absolute greatest male vocalist in the history of rock.
Him and Layne Staley are 1a and 1b.
I might agree with that
I guess but I think Layne was above Cornell in 1991
sorry but uhh... Ronnie. James. Dio.
OGGOAT_ _ Having a high range doesn’t mean you’re a good singer though. Does it help? Sure. But it’s more about the effectiveness of what you can do that makes you a good singer or not.
I love to see the look on people's face when they hear Chris Cornell's incomparable vocals. Dude is one of the greatest vocalists ever.
"My volume is all the way up and I feel like it's not loud enough" anyone else feel like this could have been a line in this song?
He needs a computer that goes to 11.
"My volume is all the way up and I feel like it's not loud enough" - That could be Grunge's tag line.
Turn it up to eleven
He was so sexy at this time I wanted to be just like him I think I practiced throwing my nipples against chains didn’t work the same Chris your a sexy man bro
F'ing love it- Chris Cornell of Soundgarden. One of the most unique and iconic voices not only in Rock but in music. He's sorely missed. RIP
Slaves and Bulldozers. Tell me that's not the greatest vocal recording ever.
Can’t give this enough upvotes. Slaves and Bulldozers is way too under the radar for how unreal Cornell’s vocals are in it.
Hell yes, such an overlooked song and that song to me is just out of this world vocally, mindblowing
Goddamn right
Slaves and Bulldozers is incredible but my favourite vocal performance of Chris' is his Fell on Black Days SiriusXM video
Jay Benton YES
Thats grunge ladies n gentlemen!
Yeah,that's what i called Grunge!!!
Chris’s voice was like a lion’s roar . Rip my brother
One of the greatest vocalists we have ever had on this planet.
He had a talent for songwriting, and his lyrics are pure poetry coupling that into his range and vocal timbre that surpassed several octaves, Cornell was unique in everything he did and his art touched so many, may he rest in peace CHRIS!!!
"I'm looking California and feeling Minnesota" is such a great line.
Check out Rusty Cage.
"and run."
@@Ekklo then listen to Johnny Cash's version
So Good that the Man In Black did a cover. 🤗
@@biancadeleon8518 And also worth a listen.
@@kburke1933 Yasss. He did such a good job. That and his cover of NIN.
- "Black Hole Sun"
- "Burden In My Hand"
- "Rusty Cage"
And 'Spoonman'
And slaves and bulldozers
and “The day I tried to live”
Rest In Peace Mr. Cornell.
No one sings like you anymore.
Goosebumps the moment Chris started singing. Miss him, rip Chis.
Love soundgarden. R.I.P Chris. Gone but not forgotten
OJ McBaggins nah man. They would have gone straight to the police no fucking about. Miss Chris and Soundgarden.
@@RussellSclafani that is correct.
@@RussellSclafani That is bollocks.
He was one of the greatest voices in the history of Hard Rock and, arguably the best singer of my generation.
Andrew, Layne, Kurt and Chris. Heaven has its own Grunge band.
And pretty much the greatest line up you would get..
@Christopher Bingham Shannon hoon too..he did give the fork necklace to Chris after all..
@Christopher Bingham Blame the labels, man. They decide what gets released and what doesn't. It's all in what they think will sell records. AND they're often wrong.
@Christopher Bingham absolutely spot on pal.
Andrew was post glam stadium rock more than "grunge".
The coolest way of saying I'm looking hot and feeling cool. "I'm looking California and feeling Minnesota". 🙂 Love Chris and the bands he was in. Awesome reaction as always man!
Actually, he wrote that line saying he was looking good on the outside but was cold and down inside. It's a snapshot of his life, so sad.
Yeah, generally Soundgarden lyrics aren't very upbeat.
Chris Cornell is a legend... check out his other band Audioslave and maybe react to "Show me how to live" ;)
Yes. Do it.
@Christopher Bingham Show me how to Live or I am the Highway are both incredible and popular options for any reactor.
Am I the only one who likes Gasoline by Audioslave?
Some songs are sooooo steeped in the nostalgia of their decade like this one, this takes me back to the grungy '90's and a flood gate of tone memories come to me of friends long since gone from my life. Great times, man.
This song changed my life and geared me towards a lifetime of listening to awesome music
Burden in My Hands..........don't miss out, you'll love it
YES! Also, My Good Eye.
genghisconnie searching with my good eye closed.
@@ianmason2003 That's the one. Just keeping it brief. :)
“Say Hello to Heaven” - Temple of the Dog
He needs to check out Mother Love Bone as well. Love rock awaits you!
Temple of the dog is never talked about enough... Eddie vedder and Chris Cornell we're neighbors. Talk about royalty
I think you would enjoy Audioslave like a stone such a good song
Jake Romero totally agree
Jake Romero my fav song
theres a ton of great songs by audioslave, just can't pick one :D
Show me how to live, doesn't remind me, your time has come, be yourself, i am the highway, revelations
Our dude should really listen to "Man or Animal". That song is freaking cool ;]
He reacted to an audioslave track a while ago. Can’t remember which one it was now though
@@tbear23 It was Cochise
For those of us who grew up listening to Cornell, it's easy to take for granted just how talented he actually was. It's nice to be reminded :)
Next time could you check out;
Soundgarden - Rusty Cage
Dang straight bro!
Followed shortly by Johnny Cash's cover. You know it was good if the Man in Black saw fit to play it.
One of the most iconic voices of the 90’s....you absolutely have to do more of his music from any of his bands
Dude. If you're doing Soundgarden then Black hole Sun is a must!!!!
ABSOLUTELY
Screw that song. It was made to just sell stuff not much music talent in that one.
Black Hole Sun would get my vote also. You got a like from me. I DID just look it up, and in an interview in 2018 Kim Thayil said that they might come back, but not as Soundgarden. So there's that, oh well. :-) 😅
I only like black hole sun because the little guitar solo lol
yes
Temple of the Dog - “Say Hello to Heaven” will have you speechless with his range.
Soundgarden - Black Rain...very underrated song by a great band
Black Hole Sun also. :-) 👍😂
Ot's a great song!
Chris Cornell is one of the greatest singers ever in rock history!

I could never take my eyes off that man..... From the start love love love..... Fuck SG is awesome!
Soundgarden is Chris Cornell's more popular and way more legendary band 🤘
true. but Audioslave has some pretty great songs as well (not as many, but still pretty damn good)
I feel like audioslave is way more popular than Soundgarden :/
@@Lulustucru2393 🤦♂️ you're kidding me right?! Soundgarden is way more popular and way more legendary. They're part of the big 4 of grunge. Not to mention they wrote 2 of the greatest and most influential albums in heavy metal history, Badmotorfinger & Superunknown

God I miss Chris! He had one of the most amazing voices ever! RIP Chris!
*he had the most amazing ever
Soundgarden:
Fell on Black Days
Jesus Christ Pose
Black Hole Sun
Like Suicide
Rusty Cage
Hunger Strike by Temple of the Dog (which is supergroup combining Soundgarden and Pearl Jam members before they were famous. Was released before Pearl Jam were popular). Eddie Vedder and Chris make for an awesome duo on this track.
"He's got such a classic voice." He is one of the classic voices. Keep listening to the band.
Soundgarden has that effect on people music begins and u are already in love
Yessss more soundgarden is needed in your life! And come back to Shinedown with .45 and save me!
Alex, you just opened up a fantastic box! Chris was fantastic, and Soundgarden, Audioslave, even back to Temple of the Dog, every one of his projects did amazing work. That man is sorely missed.
You reacted to Audioslave in the past. Same lead singer in that band as Soundgarden. RIP Chris.
Keep rocking out, dude.
"Show me how to live" is also a great song by Chris Cornell's other band Audioslave.
CHRIS CORNELL ONE OF THE BEST VOICES EVER R.I.P.
I cant belive your just now finding out about him. You have 30 years of music to get into
Soundgarden were an early part of the Seattle "grunge" movement. Chris Cornell was one of the four great singers of grunge, in fact he was probably the best of them. Sadly, only one the four is still with us. RIP Chris, Layne and Kurt. And, for God's sake, Eddie, please look after yourself.
Eddie needs to be wrapped in cotton wool and then wrapped in bubble wrap..
Eddie is my boi! He's good for another few decades.
Saw them live in 1988 and oh yea his voice was authentically. NSN: NO STUDIO NEEDED. TY very much!!!! May he rest in peace..since he was murdered hammercy!!
If you want to hear Chris Cornell peel paint from the ceiling with his voice, react or not, check out 'Jesus Christ Pose'
Lol that reminded me of something Henry Rollins once said about Chris, that his voice could peel the paint off the walls
@@jonmarrie8093 That would be the quote from VH-1's behind the music, and exactly where I got it from. :) He was remarking about his position at the mic, chin hunched down, terrible form for a singer, yet still he peeled the paint from the ceiling with his voice.
@@bryanmadigan4203 yes I couldn't remember exactly where the quote was from
@@jonmarrie8093 I can remember this off hand, yet I still have to check Facebook for my wife's birthday... O.o
An interesting tidbit about Soundgarden; the name comes from the sculpture, "A Sound Garden", in Seattle.
Soundgarden - Fell on black days, pleaseeee
What a song...
Spoonman is another good one. Also Blackhole Sun.
My Wave is a good one that doesn't get quite as much attention. Chris Cornell is one of the best rock vocalists of all time!
I always thought Fell On Black Days is the most accurate description of depression in music
Such a classic.
Looking California and feeling Minnesota - that is awesome.
Alex, he sang for Audioslave. Remember Cochise? ;)
This was “my band” in the late 80s. Was lucky enough to work with them when they played at my college in Wisconsin. Saw them again in Minneapolis about a week later. So fantastic!

Dude, it was a bad day for me for sure.
@@jamesmoncrief728 I HAD the chance to see both a month before and I couldn't afford to go. No money at the time
I got to see Soundgarden twice at Lollapalooza with AIC, RHCP, Beastie Boys, and Janes Addiction. The 90s were awesome when it came to music.
What!?! I didn't know that about Tom Petty (I don't watch tv or the news) Alex needs to do "Breakdown" :-( ❤RIP❤
@@mikehall4190 he passed away October 2017. Chris passed in May. Both got covered by Johnny Cash

Soundgarden-
Black hole sun
Spoonman
Fell on black days
Rusty Cage
Jesus Christ Pose
Blow up the outside world
Burden in my hand
The day I tried to live
Superunknown
Black rain
My wave
Great choices!! Also Fell on Black Days and Just Like Suicide.
I'm in the my wave video lol
This was the first Soundgarden song I ever heard, back when it was new. I'm grateful that I saw Soundgarden and Audio Slave in concert forever ago.
"Beyond The Wheel" and "Black Hole Sun" are two other songs by Soundgarden that you must check out! The first one will get you really amazed, specially if you listen to it live april 1990 (at least that's my favorite live version)
This is probably my favorite Soundgarden song. Great hook and really shows off Chris' voice

Chris Cornell had the best voice in rock in my opinion. Sorely missed.
Curtis Wilson my thoughts exactly 🔥🤟
nd Eddie Vedder.
Idk, hard to top MJK, he excelled with Tool's new album :D With listening to Puscifer and Perfect Circle and how much variance he has, just a level above the others.
Also said to be the only guy to break more stools in the studio than Phil Anselmo
And Eddie
Just heard this on the radio this evening, first time in a while and thought how great it is to hear it again. Crazy that u choose this song to do today.
Alex has some lit reactions
I saw Soundgarden open for Skid Row Feb. 1992 (this tour). Davenport, IA in a gymnasium. The bleachers were retracted and the baskets were raised. It was 1,000ish general admission. Both bands were absolutely amazing. Skid Row were headlining and had just released "Slave To The Grind". "Badmotorfinger" was just released and Soundgarden was on fire. A very different Soundgarden than many people ever saw live.
Conell's other band was Audioslave. Black Hole Sun from Soundgarden is a good one to checkout.
He's done Cochise by Audioslave, which is a big reason why I was really surprised that he's never heard of Soundgarden.
When this song came out in the 90s it changed my life. Today it's still my fav Soundgarden song.
This is easily one of their best songs in my opinion. WE STAN
Alex , you totally git it regarding Chris Cornell and Soundgarden! He was extraordinary! Easy to see why these guys are possible inductees for the RRHOF this year! He was great friends with Linkin Park's Chester Bennington. Their voices are truly iconic!
RIP CHRIS AND CHESTER!
Rock on Alex!
Lisa Cooley oh fuck yeah!!!
Should reeeeaaaallly check out Jesus Christ Pose or Beyond the Wheel if you want to really check out Chris' vocal range
So glad someone beat me here with "Jesus Christ Pose." That's a wild little tune. I second this one!!!
I third the request for Jesus Christ Pose. That's what I came here to post.
Beyond the wheel!!!!!!!
I love this song and yes his voice is so playful and fun especially when he would play with it going in and out in other songs
Can't go wrong with a Chris Cornell song. The man, the legend, rest in piece Chris.
Dude, u already reacted to CC’s vocals when u did the reaction to Audioslave! Amazing voice
There is a great song by Temple of the Dog called Reach Down that nobody reacts to. Just some great rock and roll.
Temple of the dog is definitely one of my faves
The acapella/ harmony part like 8 minutes in is unbelievable
Reach Down is one of my favorites.....easily.
Love from, Minnesota. 😆😂
So chunky. So good.
RIP Chris Cornell.
You need to hear Jesus Christ Pose, Black Hole Sun, Fell On Black Days, Limo Wreck
I cannot express how much joy this is giving me. Love seeing someone discover my man, my group. :)
You should react to "Room of thousand years wide", "Rusty cage", "Burned in my Hand", "Hands all over" and other songs by Soundgarden! They are the best of the grunge music era!
this is what i go to when i have had a real bad day. so many of Chris' library is not short of amazing.

I've kept an open mind with contemporary music, and i'm still expanding my play lists. :-D 👍 😅
@Amanda A. Some new music I've really liked, and am listening to (between my old favorites, of course) now a days, "Ledger", "We Are The In Crowd" (I HIGHLY recommend that band) I just found them, and there is not one single song they do that I don't like. (23 of them) and one more, "Orianthi" she's a rocker from Australia, (her name is also the bands name) she does lead vocals AND lead guitar. And she shreds her guitar. Check them out, you won't be sorry. :-D 😅
Amanda, Michael, y'all both might like Bobaflex. Pretty badass modern rock group out of West Virginia, of all places. Very talented... Some great covers and lots of great original tunes, too, with a pretty unique sound. Will worth a listen. Their take on The Sound Of Silence is amazing - much closer to the original Simon & Garfunkel version vocally, but with a nice, mildly hard edge in the instrumental aspect. It's an interesting blend. They also did a pretty accurate cover of Hey You by Pink Floyd. As for originals, check out "Bury Me With My Guns On" and "Last Song", among others.
Brought tears to my eyes with the memories of the greatest vocalist and person ever...RIP Chris!!!
Temple of the dog - Hunger strike is now a must. They call it a super group but it's basically the members of Soundgarden jamming with Pearl Jam.
Dude says: "I've never heard of Soundgarden"
I say: "Bullshit"
Yo Alex my dude we all need more Architects. Hereafter, Gravedigger, A Wasted Hymn, Gone With the Wind, Memento Mori - there are so many to choose
I remember the first time I saw this video. I thought Long haired Chris Cornell with no shirt, shorts and combat boots on the beach!?!?! I LOVE IT!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
RIP Chris!!!
