This is a actually my favorite version… and I was 20 when Sinead’s came out and loved it. This is beautiful and haunting. So sad now that he is gone.

Three bands he sang for were Soundgarden, Audioslave and what became a supergroup in Temple of the Dog (all members except Chris formed Pearl Jam couple of years afterwards). But I personally loved the covers he did as a solo artist at the end of his career (of which this was one).

If you like this, then you would love Chris singing "You Never Knew My Mind" lyrics by Johnny Cash. Chris had to rearrange some lines and put the music to it. His tone in this song is incredible

Chris was one of the best voices his bands was Soundgarden and Audioslave . You should react to live version of his song When I'm down.

Nothing compares the Sinead's cover...;)

Great reaction! Came for your Ren videos, but was so happy when I saw this one. You might also enjoy his Fell on Black Days live version. Its from the same Sirius XM performance. Edit: Also check out his cover of Billie Jean. Yes... that Billie Jean! There's several versions and they're all equally good.

Please react to Chris Cornell's When I'm Down, live at the Trubadour. It is an unbelievable performance. Every time I see someone react to one of his songs I go to comments and request this and nobody reacts to it. There is a few but not many.

[@RetroToMetroReactions]

I have three of his on my list… When I’m Down will be coming up right after You Never Knew My Mind.

Tupac and Chris Cornell 🤩💖🦄💖 You're touching on some of my all time favorites. If you like this, you should listen to him with his best friend Chester Bennington singing hunger strikes together. 💖 I'm really enjoying your video. Especially educating yourself on the message Tupac had to offer the world without the media interfering. Now you just have to add Nirvana, queen, Bob Marley and Tom Petty, and you'd experience my favorites. You're doing great.

[@wendymoseley6944]

Oh, also you should listen to Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington sing Crawl together. If you have tissues nearby, Chester Bennington sings Hallelujah at Chris Cornell funeral is perfection. 🙏💖🦄

[@ernestsmothers8355]

He sang it his way and it it worked but why isn't it on the radio?

[@jaimepuente5598]

Please! Listen to acoustic "Like A Stone" and "When I'm Down" 🙏 They're my favorite.

Pretty sure that thing she labeled a bass is a cello...

[@RetroToMetroReactions]

Very possible. I can’t tell the difference between a double bass and a cello unless they are side by side. 🤗
