I'm not sure most of you realize how good this guy is....this tune is INCREDIBLY difficult to pull-off. Hitting this range vocally, playing and singing simultaneously, etc. Great talent, this guy. Kudos dude.
I don't have a good musical ear (well I do but it's not for these uses)--is this tuned in Kim Thayil's DDDDFe or whatever it was? I never tried to play anything he did because of such a thing.
>Sees thumbnail - some kid, might as well take a look >Starts playing - ok, you have some guitar skills, I'll give you that >Starts singing - HOLY SHIT My respect, mate. Great cover, even greater voice.
You understand the soul behind this music. You capture the spirit of what these guys were doing in the late 90s/ early 2000s. I'm smiling hearing you hit the highs. Rock on brother. Love from Melbourne, Australia.
I've been consistently been going back to this performance for years now as a reference. This guy's cover seriously holds up. Genuinely one of the best "One person, One guitar" covers out on YT. (adding comment at about the 100th time watching over years)
wow... you found your way back into my algorithm over 10 years later... I tried so hard to sing this tune after seeing this the first time... still no chance!!! This ages really well dude!!!
Chris must been seeing from up incredible bro very hard to play n sing-along n very close to the original keep it up bro gives me goosebumps n also my fav Soundgarden song
"Almost" lol. It's literally better. Cornell was a studio artist and wrote vocal lines that were too demanding for him to perform accurately every night and practically all of soundgardens live videos are a testament to this. This dude is genuinely incredible, his timing and pitch are at a level most of your favorite artists probably aspire to be. No disrespect to Cornell, obviously.
Better? Chris in his prime dominated these songs. But these songs are like asking a professional athlete to give their top performance every session and Chris sang for how many years? This guy is great, but he's also brute forcing the notes and the tonality stays the same throughout. Chris had a wide range of tonality and a haunting voice at times. Chris's version tells more of a story than this rendition. This version, though masterful in its own right is lacking storytelling/soul through tonality.
I can't believe this guy!!! I wish i would have found you sooner, but at least i did. You are the best I've ever heard bro. You're vocals in ever single song you do are on the money. Actually i think you sound better than the originals!! I wish i could even come close to sounding that damn good. You need to be famous dude. By far the best ive heard. Rock on brother!!!!
No words dude,not only do you sound very close to chris,and have the same groove but your playing the friggen song while doing it,havent looked for others but has to be the best cover on youtube.
Anyone else caught off guard when he started to sing? And then blown away when you realized he was pulling it off? Don’t know about y’all but this might be one of the most amazing covers I’ve ever heard. I mean, this is Chris fucking Cornell we’re talking about here. Few even try to cover his vocals. Well done young man. Well done.
Nate101, incredible performance. My favorite artist of all time, and you nailed it. Would love to have the pipes to do this song justice. Keep up the great work. Not many people out there can pull off Chris Cornell like you can!!!!
Damn. I was looking for covers of this song, found this one, and wasn't really expecting much. I'm blown away. Holy shit. From your soul, dude. I know you posted this like 11 years ago now, but it you ever check in on the comments still, I just want you to know that i think you do that song proper. Fucking-A, well played.
I've listened to this at least 2-3 times a week for the past 11 years. I learned to play it from watching him. when he plays covers from my childhood all my problems just fade away for a while. THANK YOU! I love your channel and livestreams!
Powerfull!!!!!!!!! I shot my love today would you cry for me I lost my head again would you lie for me I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand I lost my head again would you cry for me Thanx for your covers on Soundgarden! Thea are best!
I've had this saved to a playlist for years, I love the way you do distortion, you were a huge inspiration to 16 year old me. Never stop doing what you love brother.
I was at a gig a few days after Chris died and someone played this song and I instantly started crying, and now this song always reminds me of how I felt then and how I'll never meet Chris or listen to him in person. I didn't listen to it for a long time and now started crying before he started singing. So much love for Natew and for Chris for being so wonderful
+natew101 right on man .... I was checking out all your other videos ... you're a grunge dude . I am too . lemme know if you have a band of your own . I'd love to check it out .
I remember seeing this years ago, I made a cd of it and played it in my car. I am astonished that this video doesn't have at least 1 million views. WTF. The voice is on point and guitar playing is good. I admire this.
Nate every time I listen to you do this I'm blown away. I'd give anything to have a strong young front man with blazing vocal talent in my band like you. I'm subscribing to you brother! Keep it up
Holy fuck - what a pair of lungs! Amazing guitar work + singing. You captured the essence of this song brilliantly. So glad I stumbled onto this treasure of a cover. You rule!
Please tell me that over the past five years you have made it out of your spare bedroom into a studio somewhere or at least in a good band or SG tribute?
im female and i wanted to learn this... im sick over this song... but this guy is doing it for me.... i hope hes not a bedroom musician.. i doubt it the way he moves with his guitar...not shy
Ok, so you need to hear this: You are good enough, friend, that you need some better recording equipment. Glad you're out there, and putting my favorite era in the forefront, but you could present it in a more clear and high quality for those who will click and watch. Great work, and keep it up, and might as well invest in some great gear. You got it to go, boss.
Bravo my friend !! Very good job of commanding those higher vocal notes that our dear Chris was so magical at wailing out so effortlessly and with the pain of a thousand souls ! May he rest eternally in the sweet peace he must have desparately craved...you are a very talented young man! Covering any song that pays sincere hommage to Cornell is indeed no joke! I know because Ive took a shot at all of them at one time or another ! Lol I always enjoy hearing your renditions as well! Never stop pouring all your heart n soul into any song you perform young friend ! You wear it well...sincerely Terry Gillespie
Jon Karch That this gentlemen's rendition is so fantastic yet sounds flat compared to The Man's (CC) is just a simple testament to the bizarre level of talent exhibited by the original performer (...and composer wTF)
+Aric Braaten Or the fact he had an entire damn professional production studio behind the released album to tweak every sound maybe... Eh? I can appreciate constructive criticism as much as the next guy, but your comparison of "flat" is more than just slightly biased to the relevant demonstration by this guy who simply nailed the delivery. Obviously my opinion takes nothing away from the Cornell by the way.
I'm not sure most of you realize how good this guy is....this tune is INCREDIBLY difficult to pull-off. Hitting this range vocally, playing and singing simultaneously, etc. Great talent, this guy. Kudos dude.
jsmed07 totally agree, this is beyond possible....
Agreed. Really powerfull voice.
jsmed07 honestly, I think he did Cornell better than Cornell. Not an insult to Cornell--he was pretty much the best rock and roll front man ever.
hes awesome
I don't have a good musical ear (well I do but it's not for these uses)--is this tuned in Kim Thayil's DDDDFe or whatever it was? I never tried to play anything he did because of such a thing.
I put off the thumbs up I gave 10 years ago only so I could give it again now
i did the same right now :)
>Sees thumbnail - some kid, might as well take a look
>Starts playing - ok, you have some guitar skills, I'll give you that
>Starts singing - HOLY SHIT
My respect, mate. Great cover, even greater voice.
yepp
That was exactly my experience here.
SAME HERE
same thing just happened to me haha, this is crazy good
Still watch this 11 years later and it’s just as incredible as the first time I saw it when I was 18. Nate you fucking rule man!
CHRIS IS SMILING DOWN FROM HEAVEN!👍👍
Deadly .no mic just an old cell phone and ton of talent.
It just doesnt matter when the talent is there. It shines through brigther than a 1000 suns
Absolutely the best cover of this song that I've ever watched
Needs millions of view. Amazing. I keep coming back even years after.
Did not expect that voice.
You understand the soul behind this music. You capture the spirit of what these guys were doing in the late 90s/ early 2000s.
I'm smiling hearing you hit the highs. Rock on brother. Love from Melbourne, Australia.
I've been playing guitar for 20 yrs and I still have trouble playing this. This guy nailed it.
while singing😅
@@loonaya while singing REALLY well 🤯
Awesome guitar and vocals. Right on the edge but held it together…massive respect!
Unbelievable performance, giving the vocals justice while playing those guitar parts.
i always end up back to his covers whenever im on youtube. they're so spot on i can hardly comprehend it.
Ghandi knows what’s up
Man, what a powerhouse of a singer and player. Absolutely blew me away.
I never believed that i would hear a cover of this song to that level. Great voice and great playing.
I’m disappointed I didn’t find this guy 15 years ago but so happy I came across him today
Just found this guy from his video covering 4th of July
I love this so much I am back again to watch/ listen. 🤟❤️
I'm from Argentina, and as a singer and a Chris Cornell fan I shout out loud.....WOOOOOWWWW!!!!! YOU'VE BLOWN MY HEAD OFF!!!! GREAT VOCALS DUDE!!!
Luckiest neighbors ever this guy has!
HAHAH so damn true
wwwaaayyy better than a rooster in the morning

Absolute legend, this guy. Represents the genius insanity of early RUclips so well. Grade A.
Chris must been seeing from up incredible bro very hard to play n sing-along n very close to the original keep it up bro gives me goosebumps n also my fav Soundgarden song

Been a while since I've seen this. Years later, it still kicks ass!
One of my favorite songs. This and "No Rain" are 90s songs that make me happy.
The best song of 90's!!! Great performance man!!!
Brother, you just brought a genune smile to my face. Freakin awesome!!!!
This is what talent looks and sounds like
Damn. I was looking for covers of this song, found this one, and wasn't really expecting much. I'm blown away. Holy shit. From your soul, dude. I know you posted this like 11 years ago now, but it you ever check in on the comments still, I just want you to know that i think you do that song proper. Fucking-A, well played.
Watching this again 6 years later, I hope all is well with you my man, you're still fucking fantastic
very very good. not many can get close to c.c vocal range
Who ever gave this a thumbs down doesn't deserve to hear music since they don't appreciate it. This is one hell of a cover. Well done, very well done.
I've listened to this at least 2-3 times a week for the past 11 years. I learned to play it from watching him. when he plays covers from my childhood all my problems just fade away for a while. THANK YOU! I love your channel and livestreams!
Well done Nathan, I bet Chris is looking down loving it

Thanx for your covers on Soundgarden! Thea are best!
This is by far one of the best covers of any songs I have ever seen!
from time to time i come to this video... listen to it... unmark the like and mark it again.... just to have the satisfaction of liking again.... wow

My favorite track from 'Down on the Upside!" Awesome sauce!
Listening it 13 years after.. but GREAT JOB 🤩👍
My favorite Sondgarden song. Nicely done. That poor mic is holdin' on for dear life.
Always loved Chris's voice and you my friend did him justice
Fuck Yeah Dude , This is Spot-on , Very inspiring . I love this song . and you did an amazing cover .
Thanks for watching and thank you for the kind words.

Keep singing, my man! Chris is sadly gone, but you keep his memory alive. Awesome job!
You are one gifted dude. Easily the best version of this song I've ever heard.
Nice. Chris had a very unique voice and is hard to nail! Grest job kid!
Holy shit I was not expecting that, great singing.
Jacob Ray greeeat
Holy shit ! I wasn't expecting that ! Wicked job , great voice
I just went from listening to the music video..to listening to you.. Not many people can sing like that man.... Great voice...
Holy Shit!!! You are awesome.
Great vocals dude! With passion and emotion. Good cover!
had I listened to a recording of you singing this, I would've thought this was just Chris! damn man
Ridiculously good!
Man you need an electric guitar and full band behind you on a stage. This is pure badass. Move to Charleston, SC and you have a drummer. Lol
I scrolled down the last hundred or so comments, and could not find a single negative one.
Faith in humanity: Restored.
Really nice voice, I'm really impressed. Chris would be proud of you. Keep Rocking!!!!!!!!!!!
Just found this. Only 12 years..... Rocking ,brah! I thought I was gonna learn to play this, but how does one do any better. Respect.
woah, was not expecting your voice to come in so strongly like that... you did an amazing job dude 😧♥️
I come back here all the time. Still awesome. Thank you very much, from Brazil. ❤
Chris Cornell, is that you? Damn man, you killed the vocals. Great job.
Awesome job I don't know how anyone could give a thumbs down on this
Hey man I have been watching your covers all afternoon. These are probably the best covers I've heard on youtube in a long time.
Magnificient man, perfect son of your mother!!! Just keep going, the world needs you.

Talent pure and simple . Well done Chris would approve I’m sure !!!

Booster Gold same thought, same words.
Ok not to be a dick but do you know what Chris sounds like or have you heard the original? This isn't even close.
And not saying he isn't good; he's very good but not Chris.
