First Time Watching TEMPLE OF THE DOG - Hunger Strike | Vocal Coach Reaction (& Analysis)

[@fafolaw]

Temple of the Dog - Say Hello To Heaven. Best Chris Cornell performance ever.

[@zombiepicnic9683]

Temple of the Dog is a tribute band to Andrew Wood. Wood sung lead vocals, and wrote songs for a band called Mother Love Bone. He also shared a Seattle apartment with close friend Chris Cornell. Wood tragically overdosed on heroin in 1990. Cornell wrote these songs as a way to cope with the death of his friend. Since Mother Love Bone broke up following Wood's passing, former members Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament formed Pearl Jam along side Mike McCready and Eddy Vedder. Cornell brought Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron, and they, Gossard, Ament, and McCready set about recording this album.

Temple of the dog.. lyrics in a Mother Love Bone tune.

[@RickMaciel-y3t]

You have to react to Temple of the Dog. "SAY HELLO TO HEAVEN" live at the Moore Theater next.

[@Chauncey71]

Definitely needs to watch this performance. It's amazing

[@wildwillie5408]

Not just that song. The Alice in Chains performance afterward may have been Layne's best live show.

[@Playboystarlight]

or When I'm down 😁

Beyond the wheel live in 1990 by soundgarden is a must

[@DrewD55]

Matt Cameron is on drums. At the time, he played for Chris's band Soundgarden. He now plays drums for...Pearl Jam. The rest of the players on guitar and bass are all members of Pearl Jam, as well--Jeff Ament on bass, and Stone Gossard and Mike McCready on guitar. Couldn't call this a supergroup when it was recorded, because Pearl Jam weren't even really a thing at the time. Album wasn't actually released until after both groups had become a hit as Seattle grunge blew up. A&M Records realized what a unique gem they had on their hands and put it out.

[@roadkill7314]

As I'm sure others have commented you need to react to this group's Say Hello To Heaven. Chris' vocals on that are otherworldly!

[@rgg6383]

That's Matt Cameron on drums, great feel and musicianship, love his tone specially. He was the drummer for Soundgarden until they "broke up", then became the drummer for Pearl Jam and when Soundgarden came back he was actually playing for both bands until Chris passed away

[@Jennifer_J_C]

Thanks Jen 😊

[@GregorysBrain]

Looking forward to see my Grundge Boys blow you away! Especially Chris!

Eddie Vedder was living in San Diego at the time He was in Seattle rehearsing with his new band Mookie Blaylock (later to change their name to Pearl Jam), he accompanied some of his bandmates to a rehearsal for a side project they were working on. A tribute to the lead singer of the band his Rhythm Guitarist and Bass player had been a part of and formed his current band in the aftermath of Andrew Wood' Passing Chris Cornell was trying to sing both the upper and lower parts but it just wasn't sounding right. On one playthrough Eddie Vedder just stepped up to the mike and gave Chris a look and sang the lower parts. It was magic. This was the first recording Eddie Vedder ever sang on. Chris Cornell became sort of a mentor to Eddie, they had a close relationship. Nobody ever talks about Grunge Drummers Matt Cameron, Sean Kinney and Dave Grohl.

[@ElizabethBrown-xu5hy]

I was just about to comment on how Ed stepped in to help with the lower parts, but you beat me to it! Also, Ed said this is such a special song to him because it was the first one he ever recorded (as it came out before the Pearl Jam stuff).

[@SleepingTiger-vlog]

Matt Cameron was the first thing I loved about Soundgarden when I first discovered them in 1989. Although I didn't know that Chris Cornell wrote the drum parts for the first songs I fell in love with. Because Cornell was the drummer before he became the singer. But Matt is still my favorite drummer when he plays in Soundgarden. Every member of Soundgarden contributes in ways that just make it so beautiful to me. This was my favorite reaction to this song.

[@Vladimir-bb4bo]

Alice in chains got to be next and then you will have the whole picture of grunge's inner soul and probably the best 3 vocalists and bands from the 90's

[@elbiggus]

Don't forget Shawn Smith (Brad/Satchel). Sadly Eddie Vedder is the only one still alive, but I am eternally grateful I got to experience them all before it was too late.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

I have an Alice In Chains R&A on my channel 😊

[@kimoronen1823]

​​@@JenniferGlatzhoferScreaming Trees is great band also. And their singer Mark Lanegan had awesome voice.

[@Vladimir-bb4bo]

@@JenniferGlatzhofer so sorry Jennifer...just watched it. Great, thanks so much. Try Dinosaur Jr...green mind album. Eddie Vedder's admitted inspiraton. Pre grunge but you will realise the connection. Thank you for your reacts.❤

[@johnpittsii7524]

Hi Jennifer hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤

[@joealdrich6919]

Two of the most talented singers in their genre

[@Simon_Wilcock]

Also RIP Chris. He like a number of the other grunge greats (Layne Staley, Scott Weiland etc) gone far too soon but left behind one hell of a catalogue.

[@Alberto_Aveiro]

It should be illegal to write and perform a song this good. It’s simply not fair on every other song ever created. God I miss Chris Cornell, there isn’t and never will be, anyone like him.

[@Gary_M]

You should definitely check out Chris Cornell's cover of Nothing Compares 2U if you haven't already. It's recorded in a radio station with just voice, acoustic guitars and cello.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Ah yes! I’ve been meaning too 😁

[@belowsealevel8663]

"Who's on drums?" The guy who broke his rusty cage and ran. 😂

[@Bubbaj5683]

Temple of the dog was formed for one reason to come together and make one album for their dear friend Andrew wood who passed away after Chris left it became pearl jam Chris returned to sound garden

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

When Legends Combine.😊❤

[@rel8ivity]

ok thanks .... subscribed...

[@markh4750]

Great reaction. So many fantastic grunge and grunge-adjacent performances out there. Mad Season was another supergroup and I'd definitely recommend their official video of Long Gone Day, which has a similar mix of great low vocals from Mark Lanegan, and the typical powerful vocals from Layne Staley. If you haven't done Pearl Jam's EvenFlow then that's a good one to see a more aggressive side of Eddie Vedder's vocals. Love Hate Love live at the Moore is another great one that really showcases Layne Staley's vocals.

[@chrischapman3797]

Great Reaction. I was reading through some of the comments, and would say Stone Temple Pilots is a must in early 90s Grunge/Rock Era. A few other pearl jam classics "Better Man" "Alive" Yellow Ledbetter" (personal favorite) "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter"

[@caseyrogers573]

So I’m no singer by any stretch of the imagination but I am a linguist and I’ve always thought that the modification of certain vowels (lowering of high vowels, smoothing of the “eye” diphthong etc) and that famous “r-colorization” (perhaps more accurately a “centralizing” or shifting of vowel sounds toward the schwa or “uh” sound) associated with grunge vocals evokes a certain un-pretentious, working class aesthetic to the North American ear. It’s almost certainly completely unconscious, but I do think that aesthetic is consistent with the ethos of the style at that time.

[@PasqualeCastillo]

Pushing forward back is a great song by these guys

[@gabrielcabral5139]

Great video!! Please react to ''Love hate love - Alice in chains - Live at the Moore''

[@apatternedhorizon]

Thanks for this one. I recommend I Am The Highway.

[@Simon_Wilcock]

I know it will be on your list, but you must react to Jeremy, the music video version. Do a little research into the song beforehand and then see if it doesn't break you. Challenge accepted?

[@Efferri]

If you watch Chris belting, he does a very strange thing with his tongue to shut off the sound. I'd love to hear an expert's break-down on him and his singing mechanics.

[@cbdawg4242]

Great group, you should check out another “super group “ from grudge called Mad Season which features Layne Staley from Alice In Chains and Mike McCready on guitar from Pearl Jam. Their song River of Deceit is excellent.

[@Chauncey71]

Pleàse please please you Definitely react to temple of the dog ....Say hello to heaven luve at moores theater...its breath taken

[@mathewolejnik1734]

Both great singers. Check out Chris Cornel - nothing compares to you. Or Pearl Jam - Release (live in holland)

[@davidbradshaw2293]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@danielhead8123]

Make sure you react to temple of the dog say hello to heaven

[@SDCLa]

If you want to enjoy full throttel Chris you should listen Slaves and bulldozers

[@rodgersmith6891]

If you haven't already, please react to the song "Hi Ren" by Ren. His music is a fantastic rabbithole to go down

[@princeSSE-u9o]

Hello please Can you react to the tiny desk of Chappel Roan

[@anthonyguadagnino2681]

The best voice of the grunge era, if not ever, is Layne Staley from Alice In Chains. Do love hate love live at the Moore and down in a hole from mtv unplugged, and would?

[@allcaster]

Please react to the new Linkin Park song, heavy is the crown

[@jorgemarsili943]

Alice in Chains 🤘

[@40kedge]

AIC is not grunge.. they are hard rock/metal. Soundgarden was more Acid metal, PJ rock, Melvins were just awesome. I think Nirvana was about the biggest grunge band, and they sucked. Every other band i mentioned were friggin awesome. In my not so humble opinion.
