    You’ve just experienced what many consider one of the greatest and most powerful voices in rock. Including me. Chris had an astonishing amount of vocal range and raw power, which you can hear for yourself on many other tracks. Some of his lead vocal performances are seriously just jaw-dropping. I hope you will investigate his work further because as a singer he can blow you away.

  • @DJDOGG31

    The lead singers of grunge like Chris Cornell, Eddie Vetter, Layne Staley, Kurt Cobain and others had incredible range and powerful voices. Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Nirvana and Stone Temple Pilots are bands in this genre you should check out. “Fell on Black Days” Soundgarden song written from a perspective of depression is very powerful. “Plush”-Stone Temple Pilots, “Would” “Man in the box” & “Rooster”-Alice in Chains, “Jeremy” “Evenflow” & “Black”-Pearl Jam. Also a collaborative project of “Hunger Strike”-Temple of the Dog with both Cornell and Vetter singing together.

      I agree , the grunge came at a time when everyone was getting tired of meaningless slapped together solo's , and party with a hair band music , Grunge brought in how people felt about real life people living in a dead end town , it got away from the bands getting all of the girls , liquor , and living like someone or something you would never be after growing up.
      Not to be mistaken with Hair band was crap music , it just had it's time in History

  • @TheNewRevolution
    @TheNewRevolution Год назад +10

    Chris Cornell's well is so deep, he's absolutely the best singer of the grunge era. This is an early tune from them. He got much more refined as the years went on. This is nowhere close to his best vocal performance even with Soundgarden. His vocals in Audioslave are my favorite. But the songs he did with Temple of the Dog are my favorites. If you want hear him at his greatest I think "Say Hello To Heaven" is his best song. "Hunger Strike" is the other great tune from that album. I'd go there next. Before getting into the later Soundgarden albums and Audioslave.

    Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden were (not the only by any means but are known as the Big 4 of Grunge all out of the Seattle area) - Chris was such an insane vocalist, a master peerless songwriter, and went on to lead a 2nd huge band in the 2000's Audioslave, and ended up playing solo to end his career in the most heartbreaking fashion. This song is as Grunge as Grunge gets!

    You two are so clean-cut but I can kinda seem Sam getting a tattoo and diving into a pit for one of these bands. As a teenager, I took the train from Seattle back east across the country and just outside of Salt Lake City an older "Chamber of Commerce" type engaged me in conversation, asking really earnest questions about my get-up (post-punk, pre-indie....Seattle had just gotten cable TV that year and was pretty much the ass-end of the cultural universe). I remember the whole thing fondly because the guy was really sweet. "These pins on your shirt, are they indicative of things to others?" LOL. If I recall I was wearing a dress shirt with no sleeves, leather pants and some really soft grey leather boots that I was inordinately proud of. When I got to Denver I was chased through downtown by a group of cowboys who either wanted to kill me as a faggot or for stealing their women (and I wasn't about to slow down to point out how stupid the contradiction was). Being punk in the 80's meant getting your ass kicked if you wandered into normal society. I didn't realize it at the time but the Seattle music scene was AMAZING. Multiple all-ages clubs, temporary clubs in abandoned buildings, big shows at Seattle Center and really daring programming by the local radio stations. After I left Seattle for college, the city passed the Teen Dance Hall Ordinance that closed all the clubs. For about five years all the music was forced underground, into basements with lots of bonghits and cheap beer and thus was born "grunge". Thanks City Fathers.

    As someone who grew up with this music, I think “grunge” is confusing to a lot of people. Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, sound nothing alike to me. You could link Soundgarden and Pearl Jam because of Temple of the Dog, and Mother Love Bone. They were all from Seattle, but that’s about it. They all have links to each other socially, but the sound wasn’t the link. Maybe the look, we certainly all dressed in combat boots, flannels, chain wallets, and beanies with shoulder length hair. That really wasn’t consistent with all the bands either. It all goes back to location. To Seattle. Just my humble opinion.

    Grunge was a specific music scene that began in the late '80's in Seattle. Your band didn't have to be from Seattle to be a grunge band but without the Seattle music scene - there's no grunge sound. Movements in art always have a genesis - a point of origin from where the movement first began before it spread elsewhere and influenced others. To understand grunge better - you have to go back in your time machine that you are building mentally as you review more songs - remember back to the late 80's - and what was dominating the music charts ? It was the music that dominated MTV. That's how powerful a force in marketing that MTV was back then. It's where the masses listened to music before the Internet. Did MTV influence the top of the charts or did MTV simply reflect what was already popular ? I suspect it's both - as momentum creates its own momentum - but by the late '80s - 'hair bands' were all the rage on MTV. These were bands created and marketed by the big record labels based on what the labels thought young people wanted to listen to. These hair bands were marketed with a heavy emphasis on 'style' with very little substance. These cheesy bands made simple songs mostly about partying and sex - filled with images of platinum blonde sexy women - all because that's what the record labels thought young people were into. Meanwhile - an underground music scene was developing in Seattle - influenced by West Coast punk - these grunge bands performed in small venues and built grass-root followings of fans. You were right when you said Nirvana was a grunge band - they were actually the first grunge band to explode onto the scene - as their 'Smells like Teen Spirit' song became an overnight sensation - can you believe on all places - MTV. Yes - MTV - the corporate backed music broadcaster was unknowingly spreading the music that would lead to its own demise. Literally overnight - the hair bands were out of fashion - and many of them saw their popularity / record sales plummet. Their contracts terminated. The best example i can think of for comparison is the launch of the iPhone - where overnight - everyone realized that the old cell phones were obsolete. So too did taste in music radically change. Flashy and gaudy spandex outfits with glittering styled hair became passe - as the grunge fashion took over - layers of old clothing complimented by ankle-high black boots. To me - it was a glorious moment - a time when the universe righted itself. I'm actually hoping for another miracle as i feel history repeats itself and we are in need of another re-alignment - but it's also possible that i've just grown old (54) and no longer understand the tastes of young people. But there's always hope...anyways - thanks for your reaction to this one - hope you do more grunge.

    I’m about as far away from gay as you can get,I’ve never had a problem with gay people tho….never,who am I to judge or tell who someone who they should or shouldn’t love? Chris Cornell from like 90-94 was one of the most impressive physical beings I’ve ever seen …..chicks went crazy over him before he even opened his mouth to roar 🖤y’all stay safe
