Just a guy who was comfortable in his own skin. You can truly articulate who you are when you possess that quality. I'll see you soon chris . Rest in your sleep like state

[@quieness]

Ive been watching some of his interviews now he just passed away. I love how open and nice he was, its really insightfull to see him and listening to him. R.I.P. Chris.

[@musicalone9689]

Chris is one of the best songwriters of our time. How does he do it? This interview focuses on his work habits as a writer.

[@kimerleviccaro1957]

He said he was number 4 of a 64 city tour. That would be so exhausting. He was the 6 million dollar man, but I wish he had not worked so hard.

[@cg4700]

he was so humble and genuine...............

[@random95725]

@thejonhendricks I know right? Chris Cornell is a true rock god, he looks fantastic for his age, and his voice is still fantastic and he has written amazing music for over 20 years, no signs of slowing down. Smokin' hottie rock god

[@bhobo09]

Such a cool smart likeable talented guy!.. he will be missed forever! RIP Chris Cornell!

[@sanaeben7151]

we will always love you chris👍👍👍👍

[@PatriciaLopez-nr5nf]

We now know it’s s brutal life after trying to maintain a family, career in music, songs for movies, interviews, rehearsals, and somehow relaxing with friends and loved ones. I can’t imagine it being fun anymore when you’ve got so many commitments. Many do it but many are trying to do too much for the wrong reasons and it catches up to you if you don’t have any religion or reliable people to help you. You have to be happy too. That’s why we’re here. Talent, fame, money, and awards are great but you have to love yourself too.

[@72lifeisgood]

Rest in Paradise my friend. #ForeverMissedForeverLoved

[@antonijabjelis3196]

Everybody speaks about his outside beauty which is absolutley true but i think that beauty comes out from his beautiful soul.. And yes,was soo handsome,maybe looked better with his ages.. Will always be missed💔

[@camyg275]

Love u forever... Missing u forever💙💔 but t truth is near...

[@account653]

[@evangelinegalaz6917]

simply cool and wonderful

[@Ичкерия90х]

Beautiful Chris is so talented and intelligent. I loved this interview. Wonderful Chris continues to live thru his amazing music. And his cover of Billie Jean is more than amazing.

[@sandipage9525]

Such an intelligent down to earth unassuming genuinely kind hearted human .. with a beautiful soul ..I don't pretend to know what happened to him ...but something pulled our Chris Cornell under and the currents carried him away in a sea of depression or mental suffering something deep & dark ..and it's just as painful @ 12 : 21 a.m. ..on July 3rd.2022..as it was in the wee hours of May 18.of 2017 ...we miss you buddy ..we genuinely miss you ...Damn It ..❤😎🤘✌🖤💥

[@dm2923]

R.I.P. Chris Cornell .

[@shedijon]

dude's gonna be 46 years old this year, hes been doing this for 20 years, and he still can do over a 2 hour long show. what a fuckin badass. you wanna see a comparison to him look at axl rose. lost his voice, let his body go to hell, all around sad to see. But damn chris cornell is a fuckin badass

[@allealle2022]

Love him ❤️

[@tonzowall9210]

Alle Alle I love Soundgarden but he is weird.

[@s09g0711]

just out of curiosity, what do you think is weird about him?

[@chanchaokiitos1184]

Guy Exactly. Nothing weird about him. Just a regular dude, with a great talent.

[@breelayn567]

Haha.

[@santanaincubus]

Woke up depressed! I left for work!

[@TeresaJohnNottoFans]

This is fantastic!!

[@evangelinegalaz6917]

Im so happy for Chris Cornell happy guy and good music men good singer

[@tonzowall9210]

Evangeline Galaz He's actually out of it

[@kimerleviccaro1957]

@@tonzowall9210what do you mean, he was coherent not out of it.

[@madeleineaugustin4139]

... and he was also a very handsome man.

[@linamaria1777]

cosa bellaaa!!!

[@LittleMissIssues]

I still cannot believe he is gone....Every day since he was TAKEN from us....I listen to him, chant for his soul to be at peace...but how can he be??? FUCK this sucks....I hate that this happened to him......

[@MattSyversonthePaperbackRocker]

I worked under the room he talks about at 6:40 and listened to him writing. I tell the story on Episode 15 of my Paperback Rocker Podcast.

[@TrevTrev25]

Given how much abuse he put his voice through in the early Soundgarden days...its a miracle the man can even talk right now. Some of the most vocally demanding, impossible songs are Soundgarden songs...plus the ungodly amount of booze he drank in those days, as well as smoking. I'd say he's stayed intact pretty well too, given the circumstances and age

[@christinecanty5409]

And stayed intact.

[@random95725]

@robonez Scream is not "pure crap" though. Try listening to the songs live e.g. Two Drinks Minimum. It has blues influence, and it's just amazing.

[@HurtFamily1]

OMG this is awesom!!! I want to do an interview with him and just ask him about his fans :)

[@Laststopny2741]

He seemed like he was in such a good place mentally back then. It just goes to show when you're a recovering addict and you relapse it can set you back to a dark place. I'm convinced he would never have killed himself if he was sober and in his right mind. It's still so heartbreaking

[@mot00rzysta]

5:27 I wish he could've said or been asked more about the day he wrote Black Hole Sun

[@robonez]

Cornell is an amazing singer! In my opinion 'Euphoria Morning' totally KILLS the 2 other solo-cd's. 'Carry On' had a few ok songs on there, where as 'Scream' is pure crap. 'Euphoria Morning' however, is an amazing collection of soulful tunes. Here's to another Soundgarden-CD ! ! ! \m/

[@Inlovedness]

This is Hell, we do our time, and Chris carries the chains.

[@Beeker255]

Lol I always thought Cornell had signed a deal with the devil to have a voice like his and his looks! Now that he is close to 47 I am positive he did!

[@tonzowall9210]

Brandon Duncan Oh man, i think he looks weird. Hope that gives some perspective.

[@Johnny1.0]

He def signed a deal with the devil aka Vicky. RIP Chris Cornell

[@shahpranav17]

hes god.

[@crookedvultrendall5581]

He doesn't seem like a Rock Star he seems like the guy next door or someone you'd run into at a bar.

[@micahmetzker3620]

what show is this? que show é esse?

[@laurapac]

Oh yes, I fully understand the feeling of being high and thinking you are doing great things and feel the opposite on the morning after. Regarding the lack of memory, why don't you write a diary, love? That's what I do LOL.

[@eruptionmat]

@MissusFingerBottom Yeah Audioslave had 3.

[@random95725]

by 4 audioslave records in..it's actually 3 right? Chris looked like he wanted to cut in.

[@rajawi5828]

Great meme in 3:03

[@terribleTed-ln6cm]

Do they make em any nicer than Chris Cornell ? answer : no

[@Johnny1.0]

One of these days we will get the real story of his passing! Im not in denial. I initially accepted that it was a suicide untill details were released and saw all the shadiness from those in his inner circle befor during and especially after his death. Karma is a bitch. The truth always comes out in the end. In the meantime I chose to celebrate his real legacy and the positive memories.

[@kimerleviccaro1957]

But when will the truth ever come out? Nobody in charge tries to find out. I think it’s hopeless.

[@mauserman2514]

that interviewer is so jealous Chris has hair

[@christineforcillo8926]

Hello people.. Chris 🌽Cornell was a hotty.. Gorgeous "was tall & handsome guy.. He had the looks - I'm sure his wife Vicky was holding a chain around his neck.. 😭Sad hes gone so soon.. So Quickly.. A mystery death.. He was young at ❤️heart age 52- his life was full of pride - joy.. Loved people.. Full of laughter with his family.. Kids..he. As healthy.. Even though he had a record of being depressed - took drugs - drank alcohol in his younger past life.. The guy was has been going through a depression anxieties for a long time before he met Vicky.. Way before he got married to her.. So like..I heard chris wasn't happy with the marriage or something wasn't going well between him & Vicky.. People have problems ..I don't believe he killed himself.. Suicided on drugs or alcohol ..he was abusing himself with drugs & alcohol before printing in the 80's - 90"s. People change.. Try to do better for themselves Chris mentioned that he done better for himself by Quitting all that shit.. He had 2 kids.. Everything changes.. It's a big responseability to be with your family.. Band members perform a concert... I can imagine ..good enough to be stressed out.. Feel tired lose sleep.. He was taking atavan medication for him to feel relaxed "calm sleep at night.. He didn't abuse the meds - people said he abused the medication.. It fucked him up.. It became a obsession.. He was taking the drugs to feel better or something - plus he was drinking alcohol.. Never mix prescription drugs with alcohol.. I'm sure he knew that.. Who would want to hurt Chris.. Why would someone want to do any harm to him..? He had lots of people who liked him " adored him.. Loved his 🎶music.. Very interesting...) My opinion on chris.. He wasn't suicidal.. He didn't kill himself.. He was "MURDERED.. - the trueth will all come out sooner.. Cant wait....

[@WildSkyMtn]

Damn dude. The obama years wiped out a lot of artists. All these guys aged theee decades between 2008 and 2016.

[@tonzowall9210]

Good music but i cant understand the hero worship shit

[@mitakuyeoyasin2320]

You never will.....
