Soundgarden was first. Audioslave was Chris as lead singer and the band was Rage Against the Machine. When Rage got back together, Chris got back with Soundgarden and also did more solo projects. My wife and I saw Soundgarden in Kansas City two days before Chris tragically passed on. We saw him two other times prior. Incredible performer. One of the only celebrity passings that shook me to my core. Truly a tragic loss.

Im glad you liked the song. Many suggest only the bangers from soundgarden everyone knows because Chris goes full blow, but this song hit much harder for me. His subtile changes in his voicing, going soft, going almost for a cry, whimmer over his pain, going frustrated angry over the situation and portrait the misery and helplessness. This really crawls under my skin. If you want another piece of my depress box of awesomeness, but this time female singer: Evanescence - My Immortal(song about a lost family member, beautiful ballad) Lithium(Lithium is used for bipolar illness, Amy sings over the hate relationship with this drug that numbs you and sucks your life out to cure the illness. Methaphorical it stands also for not letting go of sorrow, because at that point its a part of herself allready, beeing afraid to lose a part of yourself) Also Linkin Park- Crawling is a good listen.

Soundgarden was the Seattle band that Chris Cornell formed in 1984 w/ Kim Thayil (guitar), Matt Cameron (drums) and Hiro Yamamoto (bass)... releasing indie records in the 80's before they were signed to a major label in 1989. After the release of 'Louder than love' in '89, Hiro Yamamoto left and was replaced in 1990 by Ben Shepherd (bass)... Jason Everman played bass briefly in Soundgarden, best known for being in Nirvana as a guitarist in 1989. Cornell was friends w/ singer Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone... when Wood died of an OD in 1990, Chris Cornell poured his grief into songs which he recorded w/ members of Mother Love Bone (who formed Pearl Jam) and Soundgarden. That was the 'Temple of the Dog' album in 1991 and it became a platinum success in 1992 w/ the hit single 'Hunger strike' (feat. Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam).\ Soundgarden also scored a platinum record in 1991 w/ 'Badmotorfinger' and became part of the 'grunge rock' scene from Seattle w/ Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Alice In Chains... After the death of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain in 1994, Soundgarden released their biggest record 'Superunknown'... it went 6x platinum in the US... The next album 'Down on the upside' (1996) did not do as well, but still sold platinum. However, there were problems in Soundgarden and Chris Cornell was often struggling w/ depression and poor performances on tour... In 1997, Soundgarden unexpectedly announced their breakup. Chris Cornell released his first solo album 'Euphoria morning' in 1999, but it did not sell as well. After Rage Against the Machine disbanded in 2001, the 3 remaining members decided to approach Chris Cornell about singing for a new project... he accepted. Audioslave was formed in 2002 and released their debut, which sold 2x platinum... However, Chris Cornell left the band in 2006 after only 3 albums. Cornell released some solo records afterwards... but then reformed Soundgarden in 2010, releasing their comeback album 'King Animal' in 2012... Unfortunately, it was apparent that Chris Cornell was still struggling w/ the same issues as before... Some of his performances were painfully abysmal in concert... After a Soundgarden concert in 2017 in Detroit, he barricaded himself in his hotel room and took his own life (R.I.P.) Looking back... we can hear and feel Chris Cornell's angst and depression in real time in Soundgarden. He wrote very cryptic songs from way back - 'Fell on black days' was about depression from 1994... the 'Superunknown' album had dark songs like 'The day I tried to live'... 'Let me drown'... 'Like suicide'... The opening song on 'Down on the upside' in 1996 was the single 'Pretty noose'... Even in Audioslave, there were references to his struggles w/ the songs - 'Show me how to live'... 'Like a stone'... "Doesn't remind me"...

I have always loved Chris Cornell’s songwriting, especially his lyrics, and it’s never better showcased than in this song. And then he opens his mouth and you come to realise what an extraordinary, gifted, versatile, expressive and, well, gorgeous singer he was. It’s such a shame he left us so soon; shocking to think it has been 6 years already. I for one, miss him. But I still listen to Soundgarden frequently, in fact I had them playing in my headphones when I went for a run last Sunday (I recommend “Rusty Cage” if you want to really hit an uphill section).

Exactly correct Jonathandodds. Soundgarden was formed in the mid 1980s but did not get national attention until the early 1990s with this powerhouse record Superunknown. Chris was a true shining light from the Seattle scene. It was such a sad day when we learned he left us all. Him, Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley from Alice in Chains, Andy Wood from Mother Love Bone (the first Seattle casualty, and later that group became Pearl Jam with Eddie Vedder) and Scott Weiland from Stone Temple Pilots. All these AMAZING vocalists (except Eddie Vedder) left this world due to addiction. Its so sad because they were all such beautiful musicians. Please Aileen keep discovering all these bands because as an "old dude" I can surely tell you this early 90s sound will never be duplicated ever again.

Good choice for your first Soundgarden experience. You should check out The Pretty Reckless "Only Love Can Save Me Now". Chris was a important person to Taylor Momson (TPR vocals) and was on tour with them when he died. That along with the loss of her best friend months later sent her into a deep depression. The song is about all that and it was so perfect to the Soundgarden feeling that they asked Matt Cameron and Kim Thayil (Soundgarden drums and guitar) to join on it. And of course Talor is a great singer songwriter. The video really has a lot deep images that most don't get on the surface but for someone that has been there it hits home in a lot of ways. "25" unplugged is another great on that showcases her voice and the influence Chris Cornell had on her in her vocal style.

I've seen Chris twice with his solo career the last 3 yrs before he passed. It was the best concert I have been too. He did battle depression throughout his entire life and unfortunately that does not pass with age and I believe that is what caused his sad and shocking death. Keep up the reviews which are great and its always enjoyable to see someone else witness the passion power and feeling that Chris puts into his music. I honesty believe that this was one of his outlets and coping mechanisms for his life long dealings with depression.

RIP Chris. We lost all our grunge singers. Eddie Vedder is all that’s left

I was lucky enough to see Chris numerous times on stage. You said his voice is piercing. It’s a shame you won’t now be able to experience it live now but I felt that voice go right through me in the front row at Shepherd’s Bush London. A tiny venue for Soundgarden! It was incredible

Many people consider Chris Cornell as the greatest singer/songwriter of the 90s and the song that really reflects that is Say Hello 2 Heaven. That song is a tribute to his friend Andrew Wood who was the singer for Mother Love Bone who consisted of members who would later form Pearl Jam. The emotional and heartfelt lyrics in Say Hello 2 Heaven make it such a powerful song. His versatile singing and depth can be heard throughout the record and I can't think of another song that matches his passion.

Try these 2 tracks, "Call me a Dog" and "Say Hello to Heaven" from Temple of the Dog (Features Chris Cornell). I think they are among his top vocal performances. The album was recorded before Soundgarden was formed.

I grew up in the 80s/90s listening to a lot of these bands and always admired Soundgarden for their lyrics and sound as they were the Grandfathers of Grunge. After they become successful they would help getting their fellow artist in the scene noticed and signed. They then changed music again with the release of their album superunknown. I was lucky enough to meet Chris a few times through a producer friend of mine and he was always such a nice guy. One of my favorite pictures I have is when I was taking photos and Chris ran up to me and got up right into my camera and took a photo. Every time I hear Chris sing it always brings a mix of emotions of happiness & sadness. I am so grateful that I was able to grow up listening to him but sadden at the same time that I will never get to hear new music from him. You should check out some Soundgardens older stuff e.g. "Rusty Cage", "Outshined", "Jesus Christ Pose", & "Slaves & Bulldozers" especially the last 2 to hear Chris really sing. You should also check out "Pretty Noose", "Black Hole Sun", "Spoonman" from their other albums and also check out his solo stuff e.g. "Can't Change Me" & his version of "Nothing Compares 2 U" where you can just feel his raw emotion in the song and always bring a tear to my eye. I could literally go on forever on recommendations on what to listen to as it is all amazing.

Hi Aileen, love this song, pure poetry , the music matches Chris’s vocals , subtle yet compelling. Love your honest and heartfelt reactions , and your breakdowns of the songs are on point as you are feeling these songs for the first time, as we all did when we first heard them! Music speaks to each of us in different ways and some of us , maybe due to our unique personal experiences, feel and experience it more deeply than others , can’t imagine a world without music! Thank you , and keep doing what you do!🖤

The first song I ever heard from sound garden was OUTSHINED! It was my sophomore year 1991-92 when guns n roses had just put out use your illusion 1-2 so they ruled MTV.. I was a huge guns & roses fan.. heard this song and was blown away! After that came, spoon man, black hole Son, fell on black days and so forth.. Listen to Outshined and loud! It’s one of my favorite songs! And it’s a great way to kick it off!

I’ve been listening to reaction videos for about 6 months and just stumbled on you. You are now my new favorite. I love your facial expressions when you are feeling Chris’s voice. They are much like mine and I’ve listened to that song a 1000 times. He has so many great ones. If you want to hear his range, check out “Say Hello To Heaven”. He wrote that song as a tribute to his good friend who had recently died. He did one album with the guys from Pearl Jam called Temple of the Dog. Also you are gorgeous!

Soundgarden was a huge part of my life for many years. Singing with Chris RIP made me feel good. Still does. So many good songs, even the sad ones made me happy to vibe with someone feeling the same. The end was unexpected. I hold on to the good side. Holy heck writing that just now made me finally cry for him. Dang if I ain't slow!

@AileenSenpai I am honoured to have seen Chris and Soundgarden play 5 times in Sydney at different venues. I was lucky enough to watch Chris solo at the Sydney Opera House. Seen Audioslave also, every emotion is felt within songs at any moment in time. A true musician that will be missed, Chris Cornell and his fellow musicians will be remembered forever. I will never forget the news of his sudden death; I sat in my room. and cried for day's. I will never forget him, such a special human

So glad to see you dive into Chris. Soundgarden is on my very short list of favorite bands. Give the song “Overfloated” a listen to off of “Down on the Upside”. It’s a taste of perfection 🔥

My introduction to Chris was when he was with Audioslave "Show Me How to Life." It was like the perfect post highschool song. And later in life, you realize that you really want to know how to live. And the fact the music video took cues from the movie, Vanishing Point, made it 1,000x better. We will never see the likes of him ever again, which is a great tragedy for future fans.
