Chris Cornell Covers John Lennon’s “Imagine” on the Howard Stern Show (2011)

[@almog3875]

Chris Cornell is one of those people with that special voice you can't forget. R.I.P Chris.

[@almog3875]

@Reddy Salted That's awesome bro! Argggh I wish I could've seen LP live... They are my favorite band, and will always stay.

[@ericallen789]

yeah, they're called 'lead singers'

[@val13c59]

Shadow yes, he has a voice that tells you right off “ ITS ME, CHRIS CORNELL”

[@ironblud]

Check out Richie Kotzen. You might be pleased.

[@pasqualedavino8145]

chris good singer ma as really sound and solo album is not good solo album sorry ma audioslave and really reunion soungarden sorry for his death suicide sorry the great talent

[@chrisask2065]

P Master : I couldn’t agree more

[@austin6996]

I'm surprised hes not already

[@quor2243]

Both Nirvana and Pearl Jam are in, and I think Alice in chain. I see no reason why not that either Chris solo, Soundgarden, Audioslave or all the above get in at some point. Those bands were all part of a key moment in rock n roll. I dont think of it as the grunge movement. More as the return of real raw, true grit rock coming back in the mainstream.

[@nicocastellanos]

Absolutely agree

[@victorsuarez3]

I cried like a baby when this guy left the world.

[@shellirogge7107]

I'm crying now, thinking about my Angel dancing as Chris serenades the Heavens.

[@deemurphy1399]

Yea Brother i agree...what a talented soul.✊🏾✊🏾

[@randysanchez7829]

I found out from the radio driving into work that day. They were in the middle of a tribute when I tuned in. Was playing Like A Stone by Audioslave, didnt think much of it bc it was the "rock station" then the DJ same on said he died and they were playing his songs and went into "Fell on Black Days" by Soundgarden. I had to pull over because I couldnt see the road past my tears.

[@LautaroLopezVara]

He never left, He's right there singing for all of us

[@sherrymorris8628]

Me too ❤🐨🦘

[@enochbird3862]

I definitely think hes at his best when it's just him and his guitar. No band.

[@yzScott]

His own songs or anyones!

[@johnnylawman2866]

Totally agree

[@carcasscruncher9354]

I concur

[@jamieclement74]

I would concur if I didnt see Soundgarden 6 times. The 6th being in Detroit.

[@borissibor2638]

That's when most musicians are truly at peace within hemselves.

[@MrDansrt4]

I really miss Chris Cornell he was an amazing talent that didn’t nearly get the recognition he deserved. His voice and songwriting was amazing

Agreed, I just realized it’s pretty much EVERY recording. Phenomenal vocal quality

[@Canyoutakemebackwhereicamefrom]

Yep absolutely

[@ronaldreyensalada5942]

Many versions of Imagine. But now I declare, this is the best version of them all.

[@hw343434]

After the original I agree

[@noyb7214]

Definitely

[@beantown_billy2405]

Chris Cornell tends to do that with covers

[@a.t.3192]

Absolutely. Better than the original even.

[@jamesalan3450]

Agreed. And nothing else is even close.

[@dab9122]

never seen anyone sing so easily, he was blessed with a wonderful voice...

At age 54 the 3 deaths in R&R that hit me hardest: John Lennon. True chance of world peace died the night he did. Darrell Abbott was 2. Shot because some fool was mad about Pantera ending. He was a great guitarist and just a cool down to earth guy. And then Chris. Such a beautiful, raw voice. You hear the passion in his voice...sure I miss Bowie and Freddie and Layne. And so many others. But those 3 for me...R.I.P.
