Chris Cornell's other band?! Vocal ANALYSIS of Audioslave's "Show Me How To Live" Live!

On the back of hearing Rage Against The Machine for the first time, Kirk (my awesome hubby) said I should listen to Tom Morello link up with Chris Cornell in Audioslave, which I didn't know I listened to previously (it was an acoustic performance of "Like A Stone" without Tom!) What a crossover event I had no idea ever happened, and I am absolutely ELATED to hear this for the first time!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Audioslave for the first time, performing "Show Me How To Live”.

"I Am the Highway" was always one of my favourite Audioslave songs.

[@ParasitikOne]

Saw him outside of Austin at a festival with Seether in 2006ish… Audioslave was the headliner and the Audioslave set was over 2 hours. They did a 6-8 song set from soundgarden songs… Chris did an acoustic set of 6-8 of his solo songs… 5-6 RATM songs and then another 7-8 Audioslave songs… then a 3 song encore… it was an amazing concert.

I know it is a bold declaration, but my opinion is that the first album, Audioslave, should be considered one of the best rock albums of all time. None of those songs suck and all are really rocking. Plus, you have one of the best vocalists of all time. I also like the Audioslave debut in New York. How cool it would be to be able to say "I was there" for that.

To me he has a sort of haunting feel in his voice. Like he's tapping into a dark part of the soul that most people don't want to give voice to. Its not a dark angy but more of a dark hurt emotional side, and he gives it a beautiful sound in it own way. Was definitely an influential track growing up.

[@9xqspx6]

And this darkness feels even more articulated after his passing. I love all the Audioslave records, but after Chris's death I have been listening to them very little, because they break me in a way, every time I listen - because I'm very susceptible to feelings transposed through music. I guess this darkness is one of the reasons why I really love these records, but when the source of that darkness feels more revealed, it just cuts deeper, too deep at times, and it can wreck my mood.

This is my favorite album from all of Cornell’s bands but this was also a tough era for him live. This wasn’t a bad performance by any means but it is markedly different from the studio version, and you can tell he’s struggling with this song, particularly the chorus. (This song is a tough song to single in general.) There are a few live recordings that Audioslave did right after the album first album was released that sound pretty good but that was about it. He damaged his voice early on (at some point there was a surgery) and it drastically changed his sound. In the background he was dealing with addiction along with smoking and drinking. Stuff happens. In his later solo albums he spent a lot of time rebuilding his voice and as a result those live performances were much better and closer to the old style many of us knew and loved. RIP to a legend

This is another great react (Show Me How to Live). ... Cochise brings out his loud power... Roses on a Grave is softer... Nothing Compares 2 U is small studio (Sirius) is a tribute... the man took The Beatles song A Day in the Life... and on stage live he reformed with one guitar what they needed two takes with half orchesta... the range he had... I repeat his Live in Sweden cover of Led Zep's Thank You often (blame it on a woman)... which is a patient sweet soft song that he reshaped from the original and is really restrained from his power and different vocal voices.

Thank you for this great review, this song makes me cry almost every time I listen to it. It's just so good on so many levels.

[@MirekfraBergen]

I Am the Highway, masterpiece from Chris Cornell and Audioslave.

[@tahllydarling]

There really aren't many voices like Chris. I miss him. If you haven't already looked into them I'd recommend I am the Highway by Audioslave and also Say Hello to Heaven by Temple of the Dog for Chris Cornell vocals.

[@sammy13ificationable]

I'd throw Cochise in as an honorable mention if she hasnt heard that one yet. You cant get much angrier than naming your song after a native american that single handedly wiped out half a town and entire military battalion

[@VesselXVII]

The only v0icr close to to Chris' is Richie Kotzen....similar tones and both have crazy range.

[@franciet99]

In this live set and also in the music video, his voice is so guttural. He just pulls our souls to the depths. RIP.

[@michaeltona5034]

Chris Cornell is one of my all time favorites. By the time he got to Audioslave, he couldn't get the high notes like he did previously. A good contrast to this song would be some of his early Soundgarden stuff where he sings way up high and makes my hair stand on end.

[@masonwatt7674]

I need to see your analysis of "rich men north of richmond"!

[@helioguara]

This is one of my favourite songs of theirs. Cornell is legend, enough said

[@JV-mw7gv]

As a huge soundgarden/chris Cornell fan the anticipation of the album when was through the roof. We had been waiting about a year or more. The first song I heard was Cochise. They played to that anticipation with that song and delivered. I knew the album was going to be huge after just the few seconds of Cochise.

[@jbp712]

SOOOO glad you reacted to Audioslave! You’ll have a lot of fun with them. I’d highly recommend Cochise next. Rock on 🤘🏼

[@jbp712]

Shadow on the Sun is also a great song from their debut album.

[@laurentguinchard9733]

I've seen them in Paris in 2005, and it was a great moment. Chris Cornell was a vocal beast ... but Tom morello is also a Guitar beast ... So, it was a beast concert :).

[@Evil-Never-Dies]

Criminally underrated band.

[@stevencall3968]

Love how this song is a great mash up between these amazing musicians bands. You can hear all of their signature sounds. Soundgardens Soul, Rage's Funky Bass and chunky guitar... Just outstanding!

[@margyritchie2702]

I Saw An Interview With The Band About Chris. They Were Starstruck And Blown Away By The Power Of His Voice!

[@Arbosh4]

I really hope you add Birth Ritual to your list of Chris Cornell songs to analyse. Incredible vocals that you will love!

[@bothellkenmore]

"Jesus Christ Pose" is a good screamer

[@nickwulf]

Oh hell yeah. Phenomenal! Love it whenever you do Chris Cornell and Audioslave songs, one of my and many people’s favorites this one. ‘What you are’ or ‘getaway car’ hopefully next, Audioslave, Tool, and RHCP are the top three rock bands from my youth, doing these sort of tunes means a lot to all of us.

[@lc81002]

RIP Chris. I will always be sad that I never got to see him perform live. Such an iconic voice.

[@unlimitedblack]

Not sure if anyone else pointed it out, but back when this dropped as a single for the debut album, folks heard Chris doing that larynx tap you were talking about and thought it sounded like a digital pitch shifter effect. The band made it clear that it was that physical effect of Chris tapping that you see in the live cut you watched, and I have to imagine that it's something they extended in live performances in order to really highlight what he was doing. To my knowledge this is the only time Chris used this technique, which links in to how it's a bit risky to do if you're not careful, as you mentioned. Chris was really a fantastic talent, not just in terms of his range and breath control (and stamina) but also in the otherworldly quality of his voice and the lyrics he wrote. As a project, Audioslave is Chris at his most refined form (contrasting with the rawness of his earlier albums with Soundgarden) while his solo efforts (especially the very pop-infused album he did with Timbaland, "Scream") show him branching out and applying his voice in different ways. For a really good time though? Check out his acoustic cover of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean." kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGHYiHljaJx3d68

[@drspin1820]

Chris Cornell's vocal belting is second to none

[@M0torsagmannen]

this is my favourite Audioslave song, so a good choice to check out. really love the dynamic between the verse and chorus. man, would really love to see your take on "Jesus Christ pose" by soundgarden, probably their most intense song vocally

[@WadeJohnson-jz3hl]

That got me in tears. His sound, music, and voice are unique. Dam, it's a shame he's not around.❤

[@faketheo3432]

I'd like to request Elliott Smith for a future video. There are barely any reactions or analyses on KZbin. His style of singing is very unique and hard to describe. It's very delicate and listening to his songs feels like stumbling upon a private conversation, as if he's singing intimately to himself or a confidant. The songs I'd recommend are: Pitseleh, Angeles, Between the Bars, Needle In The Hay, A Fond Farewell

[@joshuapilger8430]

When I got their self-titled album back in my teens, I played it so much, the disc warped. Cochise and Gasoline were some of my favorites.

[@laurawatters914]

Totally Awesome songs!! "Cochise" and "Gasoline" and the official video of "Show Me How To Live" awesome video!! 😊💓🤘✌️

[@gcruz1028]

One of the most jaw-dropping vocal performances that I ever heard from this vocal god is the Song "Beyond the Wheel" in 1990 in Dusseldorf, Germany. He has many songs that are amazing-"Loud Love", "Bulldozers and Slaves", " Birth Ritual", Cochise" and many more.

[@michaelwynne2801]

My world fell apart the day I heard CC departed this earth, life struggles take the best of them! Such an incredible inspiration growing up in the 90’s. RIP Chris

[@halliemarlow9117]

Audioslave is such incredible band! I remember getting their first album for Christmas when I was in high school and I listened to it on repeat for months! Chris’s vocal style here is pretty different then in Soundgarden but it’s still jaw dropping how talented he was! Miss him everyday! 🥰😭

[@unklebacon44]

My favorite Audioslave song, supposedly about a Frankenstein Monster but who really knows. I've always loved it because of how it hits.

[@horsebydayartbynight]

I love that you're listening to Audioslave! "I Am the Highway" and "Like a Stone" are other Audioslave songs you should check out. "Like a Stone" is much more mellow, but somehow still intense.

[@OSXMan]

I think their timing is all of them drifting in and out of time, always coming back together tightly. It's pretty epic stuff.

[@aurelielagrange2173]

Chris Cornell, beautiful voice, beautiful man. You graced this world with your presence. 🏵

[@jasonsloan3926]

You should cover the album recordings with Chris. You’ll hear his pure sound there. As you know live is rough on voices as they’ve been singing for months. Especially “I am the highway”.

[@joshuaking34]

Back when Audioslave was announced, most of us were scratching our heads and asking, "How the eff is this gonna work?" They quickly became one of my favorite bands.

[@ad2332]

Remember buying the debut Album from The week it came out and the guy behind the counter calling it Rage Against the Grunge Machine 😂

[@thatrealba]

Never was I so excited for the release of an album. I was not disappointed.

[@Slinky511nx7]

One of my favorite Audioslave songs. RIP Chris Cornell

[@TheeOnlyDjinn]

chris cornell is one of the greatest singers i've ever heard. He has this ability to make a line soo smooth but then mess you up with the next line

[@audiogarden21]

I'm afraid you haven't quite experienced the full range of Chris Cornell in his prime. He was a sight and sound to behold. Slaves & Bulldozers, Beyond the Wheel, and Birth Ritual really showcase just how high he could go; the face melting kind of heights. After those, check out When I'm Down from his Euphoria Mourning album to really get a sense of the kind of passion and emotional expression he can convey through his singing.

[@briannahayes3495]

Beth Roars does a great reaction to when I'm down live in 2010

[@audiogarden21]

@@briannahayes3495 I've seen it.

[@erinwilliams8797]

Yes, I'd love to see her reaction to those earlier vocals!

[@allenfackler]

His range definitely expanded over the years. For a contrast check out the Soundgarden tune "Loud Love." His voice was higher then, but still very powerful.

[@faustus333]

I had to pause the video to comment this. I love your face right after Chris does the very first "Mmmmmmmm" It's like yeah I know, right?? That's all he has to do and it's already PHENOMENAL!

[@vinsix789]

I just came across your channel today and I’ve been binge watching it since I got home from school, KISS is one of my favorite bands although their not necessarily known for “work of art” type music I enjoy it. The bassist for the band is named Gene Simmons and in 1978 the band members released their own solo albums, on genes there’s a song titled always near you/nowhere to hide where he hits a g sharp 5 I believe. I’d love to see you break down that song and anything else by kiss especially songs with gene on vocals but all the members sing their own songs in the band. Love your videos btw 🤙🏻
