"The Day I Tried to Live" by Soundgarden - Adam Pearce (Acoustic Cover)

[@pawel8365]

"I'm terrified to try this song" - Proceeds to absolutely smash it out of the ballpark.... 🤯

[@AdamPearceMusic]

Haha! Thank you so much! It was still scary!

[@Abraxas0365]

He's way too humble.He slays everything with what seems to be little effort.

[@jimbrabec7649]

That was F'n amazing!!!

[@deadgiancarlo]

We shall see

[@deadgiancarlo]

HOLY SHIT

[@kevinfennell6601]

I can’t believe a guy in his living room with an acoustic guitar can accomplish such a feat. The world is fortunate to have you.

[@AdamPearceMusic]

This is an awesome compliment. Thank you!

[@davemeade4371]

Shows how little you know about music and passion (y) It's the place you're most likely to hear the best version of a song. Straight from desire.

[@brianbusher9923]

I was not prepared for this level of awesome.

[@AdamPearceMusic]

Haha! Thanks, dude!

[@jamesblack4411]

I'm blowed. I just had to comment again. You are a lot like Chris Stapleton but you have your own style apart from everyone and that that's what made him and Chris cornell so great your on your own path brother looking forward to it

[@benmendoza6136]

this video is proof the youtube algorithm is broken. this should be on the front page of yt!!!! seriously the best soundgarden cover i’ve ever heard 🤘

[@AdamPearceMusic]

Hell yes, man! Thank you very much for saying that. Rock on!

[@jessiesewell11]

Are you fucking kidding me dude! Nailed it Cornell tone seems hard for a lot of people cannot believe how much you sound like him. Fucking awesome. Plus the guitar lol

[@AdamPearceMusic]

He was my biggest inspiration! Thank you!

[@twainjones]

As an aspiring singer I have to say, this vocal performance is almost impossible to do justice but by God it happened here 👏👏👏

[@AdamPearceMusic]

Thank you very much, buddy!

[@leahcimolrac1477]

Keep on keeping on. Cornell was one in a million. Quitting music cause you can’t match a legend like him is like saying you won’t shoot a basketball at an arcade because you’re not Michael Jordan.

[@tevans501]

Chris would be proud!

[@AdamPearceMusic]

Thank you, Tom!

[@Peanut_Butter_Jelly_Jam]

Finding this 3 years later and being blown away!

[@AdamPearceMusic]

I'm still working at it! Thank you!

[@coryjohnson4135]

You can’t watch this video and not compliment the man! Cornell(RIP) himself would be in shock and awe of your performance! You are incredible!

[@AdamPearceMusic]

Very cool of you to say, buddy! Thank you so much! RIP Cornell.

[@savagepandaprojects]

INCREDIBLE VOICE! THIS COVER DESERVES 1 MILLION VIEWS !!! AMAZING COVER!!! 10/10 WELL DONE SIR!!!

[@AdamPearceMusic]

Hopefully it will catch on somewhere! Thank you!

[@anujkhandelwal14]

Wow! Absolutely nailed it! If Soundgarden ever think of touring again, I say they do it with you!

[@AdamPearceMusic]

That would be my dream job! Thanks, Anuj!

[@ericafterdark]

@@AdamPearceMusic I have to agree. Soundgarden touring again with you as the lead singer... count me in!

Legit the best Soundgarden cover I’ve ever came across

[@AdamPearceMusic]

Hell yeah! Thanks, Justin!

[@nocontextmemes2617]

dude you literally have the perfect voice, not many people can just sound like chris cornell, his voice is so special and you can hear the grief and sorrow and you seriously embodied it, You deserve way more man, best soundgarden cover I've ever heard.....

[@AdamPearceMusic]

Hell. Yes. Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me that. It means more than you know. RIP Chris Cornell!

My favourite Chris Cornell vocal, Jesus dude that was awesome 👏👏👏

[@AdamPearceMusic]

Thank you very much!

[@tincho_mnj2429]

What the actual fuck man, this was fire! I never expected to hear someone nail this song the way you did, Cornell was a vocal beast, and I find this song excepcionally hard to cover, but you not only did that, you also did it while playing the guitar. Res-pect. I really hope you make it far dude.

[@AdamPearceMusic]

Thank you so much, buddy! This is probably the hardest song on my channel if not in the top 3. Cornell was indeed the man!

[@Ibelieveinlove77]

Chris would be impressed and honored. I’m a fan now. God bless you for sharing

[@AdamPearceMusic]

That's the ultimate compliment! Thanks, buddy!

[@peterfuchs4596]

Wow. Just found this. Chris be proud of your talent. Slightly higher tone but clear like Chris plus YOU played too! Thats outstanding work. Can feel your love for Cornell and he did too and joined you ! So awesome you can bring him back . Outstanding work! You nailed it!

[@AdamPearceMusic]

This comment choked me up a little bit. Thank you, Peter!

[@peterfuchs4596]

Hey you channeled one of my top three artists in my life if 60 yrs. Never seen anyone cover Chris like this! Your guitar flawless, voice incredible. Don't know why your not a household name. You ever contact or know Cantrell or other 90s legends? I sense a resurgence as even younger generations when exposed to this genre ( I hate term grunge) are blown away by the passion and talent. I heard some of your originals too and wish you all the happiness life can give. And doesn't mean money. Damn I wish I had your gifts which would be reward enough. I know your busy so prob can't respond to every comment. Your music is inspiring and spreading knowledge of greats is too. Truly believe those with your talent are bringing fallen heros back for a replay. Stained did a great Nutshell and could hear Layne coaching. Another top 3. Babbled enough. Peace bro.

[@dougs735]

Covering Chris Cornell is an amazing, almost impossible feat. To do it so well with such delivery and soul... stunning.

[@ivymurillo9765]

FU@%!!!! I am blown away. When I saw this guy was going to try to do this song I said no way. Nobody can do it as well as Chris Cornell. He sounds exactly like him! Wow I just can't believe it. Why is this guy not famous?

[@ericgunderson3423]

holy fuck. amazing cover!!!!!!!!!! best ive ever seen hands down!!!

[@AdamPearceMusic]

Nice! Thank you so much, Eric!

[@ThisisYvesG]

I am so glad I clicked this video. It's my birthday today, and listening to this would be my present for myself. Thank you and I hope you are doing okay wherever you are.

[@AdamPearceMusic]

Thank you very much, Yves, and happy birthday!

[@metroknow]

That rasp in your voice starting at 1:09 or so...that is so true to Chris' voice. I've read about that being only achievable in the way he did it with some damage that had been done early on to his vocal cords, but you are really, really nailing it. Just blew me away. Thank you for doing this!

[@AdamPearceMusic]

Very cool of you to say! Thank you!

[@steveb1688]

Wow, dude, just amazing! I can't believe how great this is. You nailed it man, those vocals and guitar holy cow man. Absolutely perfect job!😁

This was so hard to pull off so I very much appreciate it!

[@AdamPearceMusic]

Very nice! Thank you so much!

[@acooper111982]

I saw Chris Cornell do an acoustic cover of this song once, and this is the first time I’ve heard someone else do it. I don’t know what to say except “holy $hit”-monster job my friend! If Soundgarden wants to get back together ever, I don’t think you’d be a bad choice 👍

[@AdamPearceMusic]

That would be epic! Thanks, man!

[@RicardoToreli]

Foi o melhor que vi até hoje depois do Chris! Meus parabéns !

[@2010BHM]

Okay. So this is first of your videos I have seen. I stumbled in here amidst a Chris Cornell rabbit hole with my guitar in my lap and a bourbon in my right hand. I clicked on this video expecting something extremely terrible, but man, this may be the greatest thing I have seen on the internet in 2021. If there were a way to buy call options on this video, I would do so right now. You have a monster fucking voice, and this is a perfect and extremely well-produced cover. I'm texting this video to about 20 people in the morning. Thank you, brother.

[@AdamPearceMusic]
