Mother Love Bone Documentaries are all over you tube. you should check some out. According to one or two. Mother Love Bone was the original grunge band. Chris Cornell, and Andrew Wood were roommates trying to get signed in Seattle. That was their connection. Stone Gossard, and Jeff Ament were members of Mother Love Bone. That after the news of Andrews death, went on to help form Pearl Jam.
Beautiful song. I love it so much that I did a karaoke to it a few years back. I asked any dude to come up with me to do Eddie Vedder’s part & one dude gladly jumped up with me. Such an emotional, sweet song….we were both in tears at the end ….RIP Chris Cornell 💔🤘🏽💔🤘🏽💔🤘🏽💔
This is a great demonstration about how singing backup can really highlight the whole vocal performance. So many songs succeed because of great backup vocals.
Eddie was hanging out at a rehearsal when Chris was working through this song. Spontaneously, he just went to a mic and began singing the lower lines. Chris said that made it feel like a real song. There’s also an awesome live version out there, when Chester Bennington joined Chris onstage to sing most of Eddie’s parts. But because of Chris’ very broad range, he hit both the lowest and highest notes of it.
If you want to hear Chris at his absolute best and showing off his full vocal range, please listen to Slaves & Bulldozers by Soundgarden. I guarantee you'll be impressed.
This was Eddy’s first music video. He didn’t really know how to lip sync yet. So they told him to look off at the horizon, and contemplate the breadth of his domain.
Temple of the Dog is made up of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam members, and was a project done by those close to and in tribute to Andy(Andrew) Wood; lead singer of Mother Love Bone (MLB), who died. Chris and Andy were close and two PJ members were in Mother Love Bone: Stone Gossard (guitar) and Jeff Ament (bass). There are a good number of MLB references here, including the name: Temple of the Dog. It is a line, second line, from a really good MLB song: Man of Golden Words. "Say Hello 2 Heaven" is another good Temple of the Dog song.
Pearl jam VH1 Rock Honors The Who. they Cover Love Reign O'er Me and The Real Me by The Who. Still the greatest covers and the greatest 'TV' performance of all time.
He couldn’t have been too huge. It was recorded shortly after Andrew Woods death. And Wood and Cornell were still roommates when he died. Cornell may have been a local legend.
This received more attention in 1992 after Pearl Jam and Soundgarden were swinging. I was there and remember thinking it was new but was before Pearl Jam & Soundgarden so most people I think believe it was after.
I wouldn’t call Eddie’s voice as powerful in the sense of power. Eddie is impactful and therefore powerful but Chris is the powerful one. It almost sounds like Chris is 10ft from the mic bc otherwise he’d overpower Eddie by so much. Love this song so much. And your reactions are great. Love it.
Back in the 1990's "Hunger strike" from Temple of the Dog for me was so real...I am from Serbia 🇷🇸, and this song was, and still is, one of that speaks to me...Thank you for your reaction, and: Pearl Jam..Dark Matter❤❤❤
How could you ask for more than to have a Grunge supergroup with members of Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and Mother Lovebone. They were extremely close friends til the day Chris passed away. I’m a 30+ year car carrying member of the grunge era. I was 16 years old when one of my buddies called me over to his Nissan 280 ZX and played me Evenflow by Pearl Jam and it honestly changed my life. I still listen to all of the Grunge bands and can remember exactly where I was when I hear them for the first time.
Sam and Phil The lead singer of Mother Love Bone Andrew Wood overdosed and use to be Chris's roommate and to mourn wrote some songs and the rest of Mother Love Bone heard about it they asked to play them. Chris brought in Mike Mcreedy on guitar and a no name singer stopped by and helped sing it. Eddie Vedder Mike Mcreedy and Mother Love Bone went on to form Pearl Jam
As a Brit visiting my aunt in 88 got to see Mother Love Bone ,Soundgarden Alice in Chains. Ended up married to a Seattle girl Emma, and was involved in the scene in Seattle, i knew Andy ,Chris ,Jeff and Matt back in the day ,they knew as English John :)
Please check out Chris Cornell singing Like a Stone with his band Audioslave. You've heard him in Soundgarden and now Temple of the Dog so check out Audioslave. Audioslave is just the former Rage Against the Machine with Cornell as the lead singer instead of Zach de la Rocha.
Chris Cornell is the greatest rock vocalist of all time!! Check out his cover of Billie Jean, When I’m down live at the Troubadour, As Hope and Promise Fade at Walmart Soundcheck, or Nothing Compares to U Sirius XM ( or any of the other performances from that session) and decide for yourself. You will not be disappointed!!!
Great song! That entire album is a Seattle banger and worth listening to, every single song has impeccable vocals and chops from that awesome band, young and ready to kick the world's butt! Try Reach Down from it, a truly epic jam full of great guitar and a band really feeling it. Enjoy! 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎸🎤🎸🎹🎶🔥
By far the best album released that year and a stellar debut album. It is an absolute gem of a 90s grunge rock album, and previews the sound of Pearl Jam's classic "Ten" debut album, the following year, one of the top 10 debut albums of the 1990s. Tragic that t was just a one-off album tribute to the death of Mother Love Bone lead singer Andy Wood. One can only wonder how amazing a 2nd or 3rd albums would have been.
There was a guy who died who was a huge influence on the grunge movement.... Andrew wood...... This whole album was dedicated to him.... As well as a dozen other songs by different bands
Chris was writing a tribute album to his late friend Andrew. Pearl Jam who just formed brought Eddie into the studio and him and Chris connected and he was asked to sing as a welcome the club type thing. It wasn’t by accident or anything Chris had mentioned that he wanted another singer to sing with and Eddie volunteered
5:42 just a few comments on your channel. Im only subscribed to about 20 reactors. It seems you guys aren’t super comfortable talking in public in real life.*BUT* your back and forth is phenomenal. It almost sounds staged, the ways you guys fling the conversation back and forth. Like its practiced/rehearsed. I assume its not because I always assume people are being honest. If its true that you are slightly nervous speaking in public, I wanted to congratulate you on such a successful, enjoyable channel. Keep up the good work. If you’re not nervous, I’m sorry, I misinterpreted some facial expressions wrong. Please forgive me, but you still deserve mass respect for such an engaging fun channel! And final comment I always give people whonhave such incredible chemistry: Stop robbing the world of well-parented children!!! If you cant have em, adopt em! The world needs more good people, we have enough good pets! Or both is even better!
We lost the freedom of expression and passion of music that was the late Sixties and early Seventies as entertainment faded into the big hair and makeup of the Eighties. I was exuberant to see the grunge movement of the early Nineties bring real emotional music back to life!!! Unfortunately, I'm now waiting and hoping for it's return.
As a born and raised Washingtonian elder millennial.. Chris’s voice was the best voice to rise from grunge to his solo rock and especial Audioslave super group! Best super group ever!!
I recommend the song from TEMPLE OF THE DOG - SAY HELLO 2 HEAVEN LIVE THE MOORE THEATER, Cornel has an angelic voice in tribute to vocalist MOTHER LOVE BONE (Andre Wood), very impressive. Thx u!! 🔥🤘
Early journey had two singers. Check out their hits… Feelin’ that way / Anytime. Vocals are Gregg Rolie and Steve Perry. 2 songs but often played together as 1, as they do blend.
They finished recording TOD in December of 1990 and the album was released on April 16, 1991 (just four months laters). Soundgarden was already pretty big, but Pearl Jam was not. TOD was recorded shortly after Eddie Vedder moved from San Diego to Seattle to join the former Mother Love Bone and become Pearl Jam. The Hunger Strike video, however, was not released until April of 1991, a year later, and by that time Pearl Jam WAS becomeing huge.
Soundgarden was national, but not huge. Pearl Jam was barely forming...It was a nice gesture from Chris to include new kid to Seattle Ed Vedder in the song. Was released in April 1991... Pearl Jam's debut Ten was released in August of the same year. It was also released before Nirvana "Nevermind" (Sept 91) and Soundgarden "Badmotorfinger" (Oct 91).
This is the first pro. recording Eddie Vedder ever did. ...I am not sure at "what stage" Pearl Jam were, at this time, exactly ...but Eddie V. had not begun recording with them (and I don't know what stage of development the songs from Ten were in, at this point.).

"Let's try it." The result was what you hear and: although Temple Of The Dog was shelved/kept on 'the back burner' for a few YEARS ...and ONLY released to the public based-on the success that both of the members' "OTHER bands" [Pearl Jam (primarily) and Soundgarden] were beginning to garner! ...so: when they rolled out "Hunger Strike" it was an instant hit. ...but. yes: it was Vedder's first professional performance. ...and it is, actually, one of the weaker songs on the entirety of the Temple Of The Dog album!

The story that I’ve always heard is that Eddy heard Chris struggling with the song, and showed him how to make the song work. Chris then refused to do the song without Eddy.
Chris Cornell is a vocal god!! Anything acoustic by him is phenomenal! You should try When I’m Down live at the Troubadour, As Hope and Promise Fade Walmart Soundcheck, Fell On Black Days, Nothing Compares 2 U both live on Sirius XM, Say Hello to Heaven live at the More, or Like A Stone live at AOL Sessions. He is a legend!! You will not be disappointed!!
PEARL JAM, SONG "DO THE EVOLUTION " IT'S AWESOME AND A POWERFUL MESSAGE TOO. HAVE YOU REACTED TO "JEREMY " BY PEARL JAM? THE UNCENSORED MUSIC VIDEO " JEREMY " YOU MIGHT CHECK OUT THE MEANING OF THE TRUE STORY. AWESOME REACTIONS GUYS!! 😊💗🤘✌️🔥
She said Chris opened the song w his vocals and Eddie comes in after nicely? She got em mixed up, Eddie starts the first part of the song lyrics and then Chris comes in.
Pearl Jam & Soundgarden were both established bands when this was released. Temple Of The Dog was a supergroup combining both bands for a tribute to Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone. The guitarist & bass player were from Pearl Jam as well. The drummer was from Soundgarden.
Released... not made. this was before PJ. The 2nd guitarist and bass player was from Mother Love Bone. They and Mike Mcreedy with Eddie went on to form Pearl Jam...
Nirvana's Nevermind album, this song, and Pearl Jam's TEN were the first big steps into making "the Seattle sound" or grunge a major force in music. There was a huge cultural shift suddenly with this and the movie Singles in 1991. Instantly the hair metal bands disappeared overnight.
Had to cut you guys off at 4 minutes because you saiid you did your research but clearly you did not . This Entire album is because they were all mourning the death of the singer of Mother Love Bone, and best friends with Chris. Mother Love Bone went on to be PEARL JAM...
Hey guys!! There was a band in Seattle named "Mother love bones". The singer died. So when they were looking for a new singer, Eddie Vedder, from California showed on. So they made this album to test Eddie whith Cris Cornell. After this, they became "Pearl Jam". Greettings from Argentina. Sorry for my English
Soundgarden was formed in 1984. Pearl Jam in 1990. Hunger Strike was released in 1991. Through radio and MTV I think North America was given both bands before they knew this even existed. It's so easy these days to Google and find anything. Back in the day an album might be released on the west coast and not get any air time for a long time. I love that these guys had a message beyond the music. You dont find that enough in today's music. Chris was also lead vocalist on solo work and for Audioslave. IMO the best vocalist of my time and top 3 ever. These guys didn't get credit for being able to sing. It's nice to see them get recognized.
TotD came together before PJ. Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament both from MLB formed PJ with Eddie and Mike Mcreedy. Check out the RUclips Professor of Rock has a video on this. It's very good
Another song from Temple of the Dog you should listen to is Say Hello to Heaven.
8000% yep
I was about to suggest that song and saw your comment. It's well worth a listen.
Call me a dog is Probably the best song on this record. Why this is the only video for this record makes no sense.
That could be one of the greatest vocal performances
Absolutely Chris’s top song with Temple of the Dog imo
No one! " sings like Chris Cornell". RIP 🙏 Chris
Chris Cornell - Nothing Compares to You
He does an amazing cover.

No solo just vocals. This was supposed to be a throw away song but formed Pearl Jam instead and became a hit
No solo just a really long, cool outro.
@@robbob5302 Absolutely

Say hello to heaven by the same band. It's their most heartfelt, soulful song
Pearl jam VH1 Rock Honors The Who. they Cover Love Reign O'er Me and The Real Me by The Who. Still the greatest covers and the greatest 'TV' performance of all time.
This was an anthem back in the 90's right when the grunge scene was beginning to explode. RIP Chris Cornell
My favorite song on the Album is Reach Down. There are extended guitar solos and Chris’s voice is just very pleasing to hear.❤
One of my all time favorite songs
Rusty Cage is my all time favorite by Soundgarden
Chris Cornell was already a legend with Soundgarden when Temple of the Dog was formed as super group.
He couldn’t have been too huge.
It was recorded shortly after Andrew Woods death. And Wood and Cornell were still roommates when he died.
Cornell may have been a local legend.
Black days by soundgarden is very sexy song with Chris vocals imo

Also: "videos" (as a rule!) are STUPID.
They, generally, distract and remove from the music and should be AVOIDED, overall!

If you want to react to another Chris Cornell off this album the first track "Say Hello To Heaven" is excellent.
The story that I’ve always heard is that Eddy heard Chris struggling with the song, and showed him how to make the song work.
Chris then refused to do the song without Eddy.
Say hello to heaven is the best song on the album by far
Always think of Silverchair TOMMORROW.
I love Eddie Vedder's voice but Chris Cornell is a vocal god!
You should check out a song by Mad Season featuring Layne Staley called River of Deceit.
Still love Pear Jam ALIVE, guess I always will.
If you guys didn't already do say hello to heaven.....
Let's do it
That entire album is unfuckwithable
Check out Eddie Vedder "Society" it's from the the soundtrack to the movie Into the Wild.
the missing soio was Chris Cornell's voice....ha

I cant stand eddie vedder or pearl jam but this song Slaps
Had to cut you guys off at 4 minutes because you saiid you did your research but clearly you did not . This Entire album is because they were all mourning the death of the singer of Mother Love Bone, and best friends with Chris. Mother Love Bone went on to be PEARL JAM...
Hey guys!! There was a band in Seattle named "Mother love bones". The singer died. So when they were looking for a new singer, Eddie Vedder, from California showed on. So they made this album to test Eddie whith Cris Cornell. After this, they became "Pearl Jam". Greettings from Argentina. Sorry for my English
For me Chris Cornell is second only to Steve Perry.
Soundgarden was formed in 1984. Pearl Jam in 1990. Hunger Strike was released in 1991. Through radio and MTV I think North America was given both bands before they knew this even existed. It's so easy these days to Google and find anything. Back in the day an album might be released on the west coast and not get any air time for a long time. I love that these guys had a message beyond the music. You dont find that enough in today's music.
Chris was also lead vocalist on solo work and for Audioslave. IMO the best vocalist of my time and top 3 ever. These guys didn't get credit for being able to sing. It's nice to see them get recognized.
TotD came together before PJ. Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament both from MLB formed PJ with Eddie and Mike Mcreedy. Check out the RUclips Professor of Rock has a video on this. It's very good
