Chris Cornell Covers Led Zeppelin’s “Thank You” on the Howard Stern Show (2011)

[@shannond7437]

Of all of our lost voices, his hurts the most.

Don't be so mawkish.

[@tubesockets120v]

I know the hurt you speak of...

[@yepper1165]

His, Layne's, and T.P. for me. All were incredible for different reasons. All missed.

Yes. Gutted when he passed.

I listened to this performance on Sirius XM while driving to a radiation session. Not sure if I would live or die this song broke me up as I thought about my life with the woman I love. Luckily still here cancer free and still with my wife. Thanks for the great performance.

That's amazing Vic, glad you're still here!

Indeed he was a treasure in a rather lackluster moment.

[@frankthompson721]

So one of the most iconic bands ( Led Zeppelin) writes this beautiful song , and Chris Cornell sings his version and. Just him and his guitar and kills it , ok I’m gonna say it, he gives zep a run with this one rip Chris

As an avid Led Zep fan from the uk who once refused to listen to anyone but Led Zep ...I would just like to say ..Chris.. Thank You....Beautiful....

[@michaelmcbride9831]

I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t like Led Zeppelin

[@irishRocker1]

I guess you intended that to sound like you are appreciative of Chris but if you refused to listen to anyone else it just sounds like you are very closed minded. For me that just instantly voids your opinions for consideration.

[@yesno9834]

It’s always good to expand your musical listening and absorb as much as possible 😎

[@katewilson4568]

I'm another Zep fan from the UK and I was wary of listening to this because I was worried he'd mess it up but man, he did it beautifully and I listen to him singing it endlessly. I'd never even heard of the guy and I cried when an American told me what became of him.

[@alanphillips9124]

I felt the same way until I heard this…excellent. Also, check out the LZ cover band called Tangerine. They have an unbelievable lead singer, very talented.
