this vid popped up randomly on my recs even tho i’ve never been into any of the bands this man is in. I just fell in love with him over the course of the vid, then looked him up and now i am heartbroken to see such a beautiful soul was taken so soon

[@niandracinema]

you should definitely check out his music with soundgarden, audioslave and his solo work!! he’s also done some insane acoustic covers that are on youtube if you wanna watch them! it was truly a HUGE, huge loss:(

[@janiyli-kahila]

Thanks for sharing this! When Chris died, some of the people he'd worked with said in the social media that they will always remember Chris for his great sense of humour. I didn't really understand those comments back then because I'd assumed Chris to have been a somewhat brooding character. I'd probably got that idea based only on the kind of lyrics he wrote. Watching this video helped me to put things in the right perspective about him.

[@TrumpIsTheRootOfAllEvil]

Literally the only celebrity death that ever made me cry. This weird, bizarre mother fucker wrote the soundtrack to my teenage years. There's a story about him being in the room while Axel Rose did an interview. Axel was going on about how he wanted to spend all of his money to buy a huge, HUGE blimp and put his name on. Chris chimed in and mentioned that Fuji owns the biggest blimp in the world (No idea if this is or was ever true) and Axel started going on about how he is going to buy the Fuji blimp. Now, every time I hear the song "Wooden Jesus," I sing "Can I be saved, I spent all my money on the Fuji blimp" instead of "future grave."

[@mztweety1374]

I feel pretty much the same way about Prince. Im a GenX and his music saved my life. When he died something inside me broke. And now I have to listen to heavy metal to heal😂😂😂

Yes Chris was a cross between The Muppet's Kermit and Animal, he nailed that!!👍💕💕

[@benjamincollins9465]

I like how Chris was human back in the day. Just like anyone of us. He was like most people until you get fortune and fame and then different situations and things take over your “life”. I can put myself in his shoes but still can’t seem to make my way to the way it all ended.

[@Prometheuspredator]

Chris and his silly self. Just love the guy as he could be goofy, but serious about his music at the same time. Gosh, I sure miss him, but I reflect a lot about him and Soundgarden's music and it warms my heart. Chris was the bomb and the band was the boss. I appreciate and the love the legend they are. The pioneers of Grunge ❤️❤️❤️. Feel tremendous sorrow for Jason and how they treated him. Showed no class on their part, but I am an empath.

[@alexisc1970]

They treated Hiro like shit too

[@Prometheuspredator]

@@alexisc1970 Sorry to hear that. What happened? Overall, Jason did good for himself. He enlisted in the Army and did well. He was in special forces as an Army Ranger and Green Beret. As I am sure you know Jason played with Nirvana and the band, especially Kurt treated him horribly. Jason paid for their first album, to be made as Kurt and none of the band members had any money to pay for it's production. It was because of him that got Nirvana off the ground and he never received any credit from the band.

I'm glad this showed up in my feed, I just had that song flutter girl in my head.

[@Sea_witch_]

I've been a longtime fan of the Seattle rock scene (so called grunge by media) for almost half my life now, and as I've seen artists choose to leave this world, fall into vices, struggle with mental health I know this world failed them. And it makes me sad because even though Chris for example or Kurt had so many devoted fans I think there lacked a supportive fanbase like the ones artists have now, that type of feedback & interaction that helps many artists get through their own issues, I'm sure Dave Grohl would agree. A young Chris, and others, deserved to have a better support system and people failed them, because they were seen as "manly rock/grunge men" who dont cry or show emotions, who are "supposed" to hide their struggles in their rebellious anger against the system, who are too cool to have healthy lifestyles etc. There was a ton of pressure put onto them, and it was sad honestly. But that's not the whole point of course, they all had their personal issues along the way. I just wanted to appreciate how nowadays content creators share their love for artists, whether rock or pop, male or female, from a place of endearment and appreciation to their personalities, it was so rare before.

The stupid UK reporter being totally serious..."Yes, I do think it is too loud. Don't you think it's too loud?" Chris answers," Yeah..isn't great?" And looks at the reporter with a big cheesy grin on his face then looks into the camera and smirks. That was iconically Chris. Satire at it's finest!

[@niandracinema]

he wasn’t immature or a jerk. he just has dry humour, and when you’re a celebrity people bother you a lot so you gotta keep it light and make fun back at the interviewers

[@mariapayne6087]

I see, well maybe I miss understood he situation. I see that the interviewers are somewhat lacking professionalism and are not very focused or respectful.. I’ve just seen interviews of him much later on only. A totally different perspective and a much meeker and humbler actitudes. That impressed me a lot about him.These other times, they all seemed so full of arrogance and lacking any humility. That’s what I ment. I guess most successful bands go through stages getting use to becoming popular and relevant in the music business.Hey it’s just my opinion, it shouldn’t offend anyone…But that’s for your your perspective, it’s welcomed!
