Searching with my good eye closed, Holy Water, Mind Riot😌Then Head Down, Superunknown…Then Ty Cobb, Burden in my Hand and Pretty Noose😌Oh, Spoonman and Fell on Black Days…There are sooooo many…Love the song Fourth of July and Mailman…Though Limo Wreck is also one of the best imo
True. Then, in my opinion, Nu Metal and the likes saved it from the depression of grunge, then Garage came and brought it back to basics. It is in need of saving again.
Though my all time best genre is Grunge obviously then Heavy Metal, Blues, Bluegrass, Classic Punk not Greenday or Offspring kind of American Folk music n obviously NWOBHM this is just in second position after Grunge
Great song! I think "Burden in my hand" shows some more of his vocal range. "Fell on black days" is a great song too! In "Hunger Strike" you can see Eddie and Chris singing together, what a combo!
Chris + Eddie & others = under the band named Temple of the Dog. The song "Hunger Strike" is a must! "Say Hello 2 Heaven" also great song by them. May want to read the story of how the group was formed. Good to know it's an important part of the history of Grunge music.
Jesus Christ Pose... THAT's the one where he sings like a madman... and Temple Of The Dog's "Hunger Strike" (Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder duet) is incredible too.
Yeah he really let rip in Jesus Christ Pose. Your comment reminded me, Chris's brother, Peter Cornell, has a song called madman. Different musical style, but similar vocals, worth a listen.
Honesty this! IMO Temple of the Dog was the best Chris Cornell album ever. It was a tribute album to a dead singer and almost every song is fantastic. Say Hello 2 Heaven is quite possibly his best vocal song ever IMO.
I don't know anybody else who knew this it is amazing to hear others remember that all of these bands were together in a small city and then one by one they became famous for being grunge
It seemed like some dark god, born of depression and teen angst, just fell on that city and possessed all its musicians for a few years. 😂 So much great stuff from so many people in such a quick burst...and NOT one-hit-wonders in many cases, but lasting legends.
@@VanDavis Agree, a lot of internal struggles expressed through the music. There were many other great bands also that didn't get the notoriety. Screaming Trees, Candlebox, Gruntruck and more.
You are a guy after my own heart. I am a 56 year old woman I was in my 20s during the grunge phase and my husband was in a grunge band. I relate to you more than I do most people. To me grunge is deep and cryptic and, we were just learning how to express our pain because mental health was not good then and it wasn’t OK to talk about. To me grunge has the most heartfelt messages usually about what not to do and how life can tear you down. But it can be inspiring!! If I lived across the pond, we could be best friends! Love, love, love your grunge reactions thank you for going down that rabbit hole❤❤
Honestly, contrasting Chris singing Stay With Me Baby and then listening to Cochise by Audioslave will give you a really comprehensive grounding of what Chris was capable of. Very seriously, he was quite probably in the top 10 voices of rock and metal of all time. Very few people can sing like silky heaven and then do tortured screams and long AF notes like he could.
The entire Audioslave album is amazing. I think it’s important to acknowledge that he was in a very dark place while recording that album, and the lyrics truly reflect that. I miss him a lot.
@@11GalleryATV probably the track that got me into Audioslave when I saw just a little boy (born ‘96). I’ve wondered about the meaning behind the lyrics for years. It always gave me David Koresh vibes but I’m not quite sure.

To truly appreciate Chris Cornell’s vocal range and mastery, you should take time and check out this solo projects. His acoustic versions of songs such as, “like a stone” and “ Nothing compares to you” will only make realize what a generational talent he was.
Chris’ voice goes from this almost sweetness to a proper growl and howl, and it pulls you into whatever emotion he’s feeling as he sings ❤ Thanks for sharing your reaction to this, and I’m glad you’re loving the ride it takes you on!!
Saw Soundgarden live when this album came out. They were spec-fucking-tacular and sounded as clean live as they did on the album. I was only three rows away from Cornell and his voice would penetrate right down into your bone marrow. Goosebumps.
The song that introduced me to Soundgarden. I remember hearing it the first time on the radio. This is a perfect example of Chris Cornell's vocals but it gets even better!
This song will always and forever remind me of my junior year in high school after getting my driver's license. Badmotorfinger rarely left my take player. RIP to a legend!
Yes Molly my mate.. The first one I ever heard on a sega mega drive game called road rash.. Right back in the day, yeah so I'm old..😂 In the words of jack black. Chris Cornell's voice could open different dimensions. 👽👽👽🤟
Hey brother bloody nice reaction. Soundgarden was the the story of my youth, there is no better voice. Slaves and bulldozers next champ, absolutely incredible song. Love the reactions bro 🤘🤘
Great reaction! Rusty Cage will give you goosebumps from the opening riff!! Also awesome are My Wave-Mailman-Mind Riot-Drawing Flies-Rhinosaur. Mellow songs like Pretty Noose, Switch Opens and 4th of July can’t miss either. All Soundgarden tunes are rifftastic as you’re about to hear. And every new album was like unpacking a crate of diamonds. I hope you get to listen them straight through on your own some day, you’ll see. Keep rocking 🤘
Say hello to heaven. Wooden jesus .spoonman But primary Temple of the dog, wich is in the beging of it all with Eddie vedder invited by Chris to sing with him on Hunger Strike, grunge defined in my book, the whole project Temple of the dog is the ecence of grunge for me...

@@FloridaRocks yes, i wrote that, im from Sweden and i may not be so good at writing i English😅, BUT i wrote "with Eddie Vedder invited by Chris to sing" and that is what you wrote to or?🤔
Btw, the place that the video for Hunger Strike was filmed with the Lighthouse and beach etc. is Discovery park in Seattle and on the other side of the water(and in the video) is Bainbridge Island and that is the place were Andy Wood grew up, so Temple of the dog being made in honour of Andy and the whole project a part of Chris dealing with the loss of his friend Andy❤️ Ps. I think Eddie was in Seattle to try out for Mookie Blaylock that later would become Pearl Jam! Ds.
I'M FEELING OUTSHINED! OUTSHINED!! OUTSHINED!! OUTSHINED!! YEAAAAAAA!! 😊🩷🔥🤘✌️ THE AWESOME DRUMMER MATT CAMERON IS DRUMMER FOR PEARL JAM SINCE 1998 TILL NOW.
If you love this, you will go bonkers over Spoonman. Chris’s voice is insane this, the band is fantastic and Artiss the Spoonman’s spoons are phenomenal!!!
👏👏👏👏 I'm SO glad you got to this song so you can see what all the fuss is about Chris Cornell! Between Soundgarden and Audioslave, and his solo stuff, there are tons of great songs that really showcase his talent and diversity. You literally can't go wrong with ANY song off of this album, though (Badmotorfinger).
This song is grungy goodness from the get go! Chris Cornell can not be replaced. I was fortunate enough to see him on his "Higher Truth" solo tour. The man was a musical beast. He played alone for hours with only ONE other artist accompanying him at any time. He literally moved you with his voice. I loved that show so much even though I was seated in the nose-bleed seats, so when I found out Soundgarden was going to be performing at my fave rock festival, I was elated. I stood in one spot on the barricade in front the stage they were scheduled to play for 6 hours just to see Chris Cornell up close. What a blast! I was still high on the energy of the festival when I was shocked to hear, only 2 WEEKS later, that Chris had passed away. WTF? I was crushed by the news, but so thankful that I had made that great effort to see him perform from the close-up vantage point I had. I still listen to him, in all of his musical personas, Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple of the Dog, solo, originals, and covers alike, on a regular basis. Though he was stolen from the world too early, his musical prowess allows us to be entertained by him forever. RIP, Chris, and thank you for all your musical gifts to the world! ❤🤘🏼
"birth ritual" is my fav soundgarden song, because his vocals are INSANE in it. they only tried to play it once, and chris wasn't happy w his performance. that tells you what a HIGH level of intensity he's performing at on that recording. his voice sounds like a high tension cable ready to snap at any second, and he continues to put pressure on it and push it further as the song goes along. GLORIOUS.
I was in my 20's in the 90's. Why don't you go thru these outstanding bands in the order they came out it'll give you the same perspective we had growing up with it, and it'll give you a good mix of the "grunge"bands at least. OF course take fan requests, but it will let you evolve as a fan as they evolve as artist. Just a thought it's the closest you can get to being there at the time all this was going down, and believe me man it was incredible to be young and coming of age with the greatest music as the theme of our lives IMHO of course. Others might disagree but everything from pop to rap, to blues, and of course grunge and rock in general were fresh and new , and don't forget we had all the classics at our disposal to, 60's , 70's ,80's, too... just a thought, cheers.
I LOVE IT!!! CHRIS CORNELL WILL NEVER BE OUTSHINED, GORGEOUS VOCALS AND BEAUTIFUL MAN!! MAYBE NEXT THE BAND TEMPLE OF THE DOG AND THE SONG " HUNGER STRIKE " YOU GET CHRIS CORNELL AND EDDIE VEDDER SINGING IN DUET!! IT'S INCREDIBLE BUT I SOON AS YOU REACT TO IT, FANS FOCUS AND CHRIS AND NOT MUCH ON EDDIE EVEN THOUGH EDDIE DID INCREDIBLE JOB!! AWESOME REACTION MOLLYBOY!!! I ♥️ GRUNGE!! MY FAVORITE ERA OF MUSIC. LAYNE STALEY AND MIKE FREAKIN MCCREADY IN THE BAND MAD SEASON!! 😊🩷🤘✌️🔥
the reason chris cornell is consider one of the best singers of all time is bc of: "slaves and bulldozers" and "beyond the wheel" with soundgarden and "say hello to heaven" (and "hunger strike" maybe???) with temple of the dogs. those are his opus-magnus when it comes to vocal range. until you listen to those performances you wont get why ppl speak of him the way they do. of course he has many many more really good songs but when it comes to vocal range, those are the songs you should listen.
Great reaction! You have to react to "Jesus Christ Pose" and "Slaves & Bulldozers" (studio versions)...Chris Cornell: absurd, extraterrestrial, immortal...Soundgarden: best band of the "Grunge" Generation and one of the best Rock/Metal of all time!!! They have a lot of influence simply from the best Heavy Metal band of all time: sacred and immortal Black Sabbath!!! Greetings from Brazil!!!
I was in high school from 92 to 95, and it makes me so happy to hear you fall in love with the music that meant so much to me. It was a truly special time, and you certainly seem like you belong. Enjoy the journey!
You like soundgarden , you like Alice In Chains, you like Perl jam… Listen to a combination of them all - temple of the dog - hunger strike with both Chris Cornell and Eddie Vader on vocals. An amazing tune that you’ll definitely like. Chris will blow your mind. Best vocalist in history for me.
More like Layne is 1 small rung under Chris. Chris evolved throughout his music career, his vocal abilities seen from the late 80s to the 2010s is nothing more than dynamic power. Layne Staleys vocals are very powerful, but his vocal ability is unmatched to Chris' ability, If layne was around today he would not be singing as good as you think.
I tend to agree with you, and Layne is my favorite singer by a long shot. However, just to be fair, Chris couldn't do with his voice later on what he could when he was young either.
My take on the Layne , Chris debate is this……. Chris has a classic metal high end vocals, he is probably technically better than Layne, HOWEVER Layne has a phenomenal dynamic voice. Layne”s vocals define the “grunge” vocal sound that has been emulated more than any other. Within the grunge genre my vote goes to Layne
@kikivon3501 The only reason i give my vote to Chris is that he advanced throughout his music career experimenting with all different types of singing styles whereas Layne never had the chance to. How I wish Layne would've progressed through the 2000s
Mind blowing to think that the grunge scene in Seattle all kind of happened at once. Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Nirvana and many more were all playing in clubs almost every weekend while I was in college at the University of Washington. Each weekend we'd go out and be in a club with about 100 people and watch these bands get bigger and bigger. Mind blowing! All of these bands from Seattle
MollyGrungeBoy Welcome to the world of Soungarden another group that will hit u hard in the soul, and stir ur emotions. One of my favorite's as well.... thank u for sharing ur journey with us
No matter what anyone says, music today wouldn't be what it is without Nirvana. They were literally the most influential band of the Grunge era. That's not to take away from the others, they were all good, but Nirvana broke down all the barriers. It's crazy to know that some members of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam all knew each other and played together. Eddie Vedder's collab with Chris in Temple Of The Dog is utterly amazing. Two legends together.

I think it is cool that Johnny Cash covered rusty cage
In my opinion, grunge saved rock and roll from the hair bands. It brought soul back to the genre

Best Soundgarden album
I've been looping Big Dumb Sex this weeklol @Faucetpayhunter
I read once where they had to turn his voice monitor down instead of up. He was so loud
Yes! I didn't even like spoonman album
Absolutely
Loud Love is my fav by a mile. The Disc 2 Badmotorfinger with live Slaves and Bulldozers and their cover of Devo’s
Girl U Want is pretty great too.
Gotta do Slaves and Bulldozers and Beyond the Wheel by Soundgarden!!!!❤
Beyond the wheel is a song nobody reacts and it’s epic ❤
Slaves and Bulldozers really shows Chris’ vocal range! It’s incredible 🤘🤘
@@mikehansen5356 yes, hope he does the one live in Germany (song 8 of 8). That version is INSANE!!!!!
Beyond the Wheel is the song that truly lets you grasp his range. @mikehansen5356
These two for sure!!!
Slaves and bulldozers shows Chris's vocal range quite nicely.
Great song! I think "Burden in my hand" shows some more of his vocal range. "Fell on black days" is a great song too! In "Hunger Strike" you can see Eddie and Chris singing together, what a combo!
Fell On Black Days is such a classic!
Chris + Eddie & others = under the band named Temple of the Dog. The song "Hunger Strike" is a must! "Say Hello 2 Heaven" also great song by them. May want to read the story of how the group was formed. Good to know it's an important part of the history of Grunge music.
Yes! “Fell on black days” is a more mature Chris flexing his pipes, and baring his soul
Check out 'Seasons' by Chris Cornell (solo). Absolutely the best
Jesus Christ Pose... THAT's the one where he sings like a madman... and Temple Of The Dog's "Hunger Strike" (Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder duet) is incredible too.
Yeah he really let rip in Jesus Christ Pose.
Your comment reminded me, Chris's brother, Peter Cornell, has a song called madman. Different musical style, but similar vocals, worth a listen.
Listen to “Slaves & Bulldozers” by Soundgarden & “Jesus Christ Pose” to hear to total vocal showcase from Chris! 🤟🏼😎
Need to hear the title track from Loud Love as well - those early vocals were great.
Yes yes yes yes
Agreed!!
And then you neeeeeed to listen to Hunger Strike to hear another level of his range!! 😊
Honesty this! IMO Temple of the Dog was the best Chris Cornell album ever. It was a tribute album to a dead singer and almost every song is fantastic. Say Hello 2 Heaven is quite possibly his best vocal song ever IMO.
@@TXP2P69 agree!!
1000%
Oh, Chris..
I'm still not over it. He was one of the most underrated vocalists of my time, in my opinion. The voice of an angel.
I will forever be heartbroken!
Heads up , Chris and Layne did a song together!! ❤ it's like a resurrection when their voices join.
Right Turn on The SAP EP. The way Chris’ voice transitions into Layne’s and then back again. Stunningly beautiful
I did not know this🤔😳🤘
I don't know anybody else who knew this it is amazing to hear others remember that all of these bands were together in a small city and then one by one they became famous for being grunge
Mark Arm on that song too!
River of deceit
Chris Cornell’s voice was a sheer force of nature
All these bands were from Seattle, AIC, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Nirvana... I moved there in 1990 right when this was happening. Crazy times.
It seemed like some dark god, born of depression and teen angst, just fell on that city and possessed all its musicians for a few years. 😂 So much great stuff from so many people in such a quick burst...and NOT one-hit-wonders in many cases, but lasting legends.
I am from Seattle. This is definitely my childhood and teen years relived
@@VanDavis Agree, a lot of internal struggles expressed through the music. There were many other great bands also that didn't get the notoriety. Screaming Trees, Candlebox, Gruntruck and more.
Chris and Eddie on Temple of the Dog - "Hunger Strike", they bat the vocals back and forth, and the juxtaposition of their voices are spine tingling.

Kurt was a Soundgarden fan. When he was looking for a drummer he added Soundgarden as an influence in a magazine add.
Jesus Christ Pose & Rusty Cage by Soundgarden. Cochise by Audioslave🔥
Honestly, contrasting Chris singing Stay With Me Baby and then listening to Cochise by Audioslave will give you a really comprehensive grounding of what Chris was capable of. Very seriously, he was quite probably in the top 10 voices of rock and metal of all time. Very few people can sing like silky heaven and then do tortured screams and long AF notes like he could.
Said it once on the other video. Slaves and Bulldozers if you want to hear THE FULL range. It's so awesome.
He was the singer for Audioslave also. I would recommend listening to Cochise, Show me how to live, and like a stone.
The entire Audioslave album is amazing. I think it’s important to acknowledge that he was in a very dark place while recording that album, and the lyrics truly reflect that. I miss him a lot.
Like a stone, great song.
Definitely Like a Stone
"Set It Off" is my favorite Audioslave tune ...
@@11GalleryATV probably the track that got me into Audioslave when I saw just a little boy (born ‘96). I’ve wondered about the meaning behind the lyrics for years.

Ahh, the unmistakable sound of Drop D tuning on the guitar
Didn't everyone drop the d lol.?
I meant that wasn't aware of the tuning. And it was obvious to musicians, but we just loved the sound and the music.
Almost every low endy riff sounds better in drop d, change my mind
@@AidanLonergan-bz1cp I’m a huge fan of D minor so I agree with this statement
Slaves and bulldozers is definitely top tier🤘
So many to choose from but one of his best songs ever written was “Seasons”
Layne, Kurt, Chris and Eddie. The top 4 who changed the industry forever.
God i love these guys!!!
Soundgarden stands out so proud in this genre. They were so heavy and yet Chris’ voice took a song everywhere
More grunge please!! 😊

OF course take fan requests, but it will let you evolve as a fan as they evolve as artist. Just a thought it's the closest you can get to being there at the time all this was going down, and believe me man it was incredible to be young and coming of age with the greatest music as the theme of our lives IMHO of course. Others might disagree but everything from pop to rap, to blues, and of course grunge and rock in general were fresh and new , and don't forget we had all the classics at our disposal to, 60's , 70's ,80's, too... just a thought, cheers.
I LOVE IT!!! CHRIS CORNELL WILL NEVER BE OUTSHINED, GORGEOUS VOCALS AND BEAUTIFUL MAN!! MAYBE NEXT THE BAND TEMPLE OF THE DOG AND THE SONG " HUNGER STRIKE " YOU GET CHRIS CORNELL AND EDDIE VEDDER SINGING IN DUET!! IT'S INCREDIBLE BUT I SOON AS YOU REACT TO IT, FANS FOCUS AND CHRIS AND NOT MUCH ON EDDIE EVEN THOUGH EDDIE DID INCREDIBLE JOB!! AWESOME REACTION MOLLYBOY!!!
I ♥️ GRUNGE!! MY FAVORITE ERA OF MUSIC. LAYNE STALEY AND MIKE FREAKIN MCCREADY IN THE BAND MAD SEASON!! 😊🩷🤘✌️🔥
Yes!! Go all the way back to the beginning...Loud Love, Ugly Truth, Hands All Over!
Definitely looking forward to this. Their best, IMO.
the reason chris cornell is consider one of the best singers of all time is bc of: "slaves and bulldozers" and "beyond the wheel" with soundgarden and "say hello to heaven" (and "hunger strike" maybe???) with temple of the dogs. those are his opus-magnus when it comes to vocal range. until you listen to those performances you wont get why ppl speak of him the way they do. of course he has many many more really good songs but when it comes to vocal range, those are the songs you should listen.
Flashbacks from playing Road Rash on PS1 in the mid 90's are coming 🙈
Great reaction! You have to react to "Jesus Christ Pose" and "Slaves & Bulldozers" (studio versions)...Chris Cornell: absurd, extraterrestrial, immortal...Soundgarden: best band of the "Grunge" Generation and one of the best Rock/Metal of all time!!! They have a lot of influence simply from the best Heavy Metal band of all time: sacred and immortal Black Sabbath!!! Greetings from Brazil!!!
As good as outshined is, you've got to do Slaves and Bulldozers.
Agreed! Gotta be heard!❤
I was in high school from 92 to 95, and it makes me so happy to hear you fall in love with the music that meant so much to me. It was a truly special time, and you certainly seem like you belong. Enjoy the journey!
You like soundgarden , you like Alice In Chains, you like Perl jam…
Listen to a combination of them all - temple of the dog - hunger strike with both Chris Cornell and Eddie Vader on vocals.
An amazing tune that you’ll definitely like.
Chris will blow your mind.
Best vocalist in history for me.
Fell on Black Days my man! Thanks for the video!
First time i heard Soundgarden i thoufmght to myself "Self, these guys are the Sabbath babies."
Turns out they were huge Sabbath fans.
Indeed. I loved watching them at Download in 2012 just before Black Sabbath. Great combo.
Room 1000 Years Wide sounded like Sabbath, MC5 and The Stooges did a song. My favorite Soundgarden song
They cover Into the Void if that tells you anything.
Feelin' California .. Lookin' Minnesota
Eddie and Chris on Hunget Strike.... do it! They sound like angels
Chris is just 1 small rung below Layne as a vocal God on the musical ladder of angels❤
More like Layne is 1 small rung under Chris. Chris evolved throughout his music career, his vocal abilities seen from the late 80s to the 2010s is nothing more than dynamic power. Layne Staleys vocals are very powerful, but his vocal ability is unmatched to Chris' ability, If layne was around today he would not be singing as good as you think.
I tend to agree with you, and Layne is my favorite singer by a long shot. However, just to be fair, Chris couldn't do with his voice later on what he could when he was young either.
Where is Mike Patton on this ladder? Just asking…
My take on the Layne , Chris debate is this…….
Chris has a classic metal high end vocals, he is probably technically better than Layne, HOWEVER Layne has a phenomenal dynamic voice. Layne”s vocals define the “grunge” vocal sound that has been emulated more than any other. Within the grunge genre my vote goes to Layne
@kikivon3501 The only reason i give my vote to Chris is that he advanced throughout his music career experimenting with all different types of singing styles whereas Layne never had the chance to. How I wish Layne would've progressed through the 2000s
No one's a better rock singer than Chris, AND I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL.
Mind blowing to think that the grunge scene in Seattle all kind of happened at once. Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Nirvana and many more were all playing in clubs almost every weekend while I was in college at the University of Washington. Each weekend we'd go out and be in a club with about 100 people and watch these bands get bigger and bigger. Mind blowing! All of these bands from Seattle
Thanx 🖤🖤💌🇨🇦
Chris... Audio slave,
Temple of the dog
Layne...AIC,
Mad Season
Great track, also heard in the movie 'True Romance' just as a side note.
Beyond the wheel live in Germany is one of the best vocal performances of ALL TIME cannot lie
MollyGrungeBoy Welcome to the world of Soungarden another group that will hit u hard in the soul, and stir ur emotions. One of my favorite's as well.... thank u for sharing ur journey with us
That whole few years of the early nineties was a completely different vibe from anything that was previously played happy I got to experience it
No matter what anyone says, music today wouldn't be what it is without Nirvana. They were literally the most influential band of the Grunge era. That's not to take away from the others, they were all good, but Nirvana broke down all the barriers.
It's crazy to know that some members of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam all knew each other and played together. Eddie Vedder's collab with Chris in Temple Of The Dog is utterly amazing. Two legends together.
Thank you for your reaction. RIP Chris, you will be forever missed.
He's also in a band called Temple of the Dog. You absolutely MUST listen to Hunger Strike. It features Eddie Vedder on vocals with Chris Cornell.
Say hello to heaven - temple of the dog (chris cornell's voice is insane here)
Pretty Noose, My Wave, and Ty Cobb are also great tracks.
Chris made so many people happy and feel different emotions just with his little vocal chords
Hunger Strike is a must. With both Cornell showing his range and together with Vedder from Pearl Jam. 🙌
Slaves and bulldozes by Soundgarden! You will love it!
