LEX SHOWS HER BEST FRIEND: Temple of the Dog - Hunger Strike | LU FIRST REACTION | Lu and Lex

[@garylagstrom3864]

I’ve got a cool story about Eddie Vedder. First I worked for an insurance company back in the day in the special lines field and remember actually speaking to Eddie about his boat policy! He said enjoyed calling instead of his agent! Very down to Earth and later we were able to meet at a Seattle Pearl Jam show so he was able to put a face to the voice on the phone 📱. ILL NEVER FORGET IT! RIP CHRIS CORNELL. The Seattle scene in the early 1990’s is unsurpassed by anything going on today!

[@adenauerlemos7926]

Director Cameron Crowe's 1992 film "Singles" brings a lot of what the grunge scene was like in Seattle. Including appearances by Cornell and Vedder. It is worth seeing to understand the context in which this style of rock was born.

[@believer773]

Grunge was never my thing, but I knew instantly that Cornell and Vedder are the best male voices in the entire music industry, masters both.

[@wilfriedhintergraber7909]

Layne Staley!!!

[@dp6416]

Layne was much better than eddie vedder

[@DJMAERZ]

In no order: Layne / Chris / Scott / Eddie / Kurt

[@gregoryrobb2604]

Wish Chris and Ed did more songs together. They sound so great together on this track.

[@wendymessina4462]

Agree

[@timmatthews1604]

If you haven’t you should give PJ20 a watch. It’s got some great footage of these two together, Chris was like a big brother to Ed when he first came up to Seattle.

[@melanielucas4155]

I could listen to Chris Cornell's voice all day! He has such an incredible range and so much emotion. You have to listen to his version of "Nothing Compares 2U" , RIP Chris. As for Eddie Vedder I adore his voice! He is another singer that sings with so much passion. He is an icon and well deserved!

[@redstep-child3096]

Love how these old songs I love bring people together. With love. 1000 blessings upon you both. In the Irish "May you be in heaven for 40 years before the devil knows youre dead." Thank you.

[@cometogether999]

Glad you got a reunion with your friend. I'm sure you had a great time catching up. I love the interplay with their voices in this song. It's very powerful. R.I.P. Chris Cornell.

[@DrakeSpidey]

So Temple of the Dog , was a Chris Cornell solo project that was dedicated to his friend Andrew Wood , who was the lead singer of Mother Love Bone , he had just died and his band was in shambles. Chris put this project together with the member of Mother Love Bone. Did the album and a tour , and this is how Eddie Vedder met Stone Gossard and they formed Pearl Jam out of this very project. This is an incredible album and project. Just thought you might want the back ground on the whole deal! Before this Eddie was not singing!

[@robertoveroyguitar]

"this is how Eddie Vedder met Stone Gossard and they formed Pearl Jam" ehhh not really. stone and jeff flew eddie over to seattle after he added his voice to a mix tape with some song ideas stone had. the mix tape was shared to eddie by jack irons.

[@jamjar5525]

Yeah nah. After Andy died Stone eventually hooked up with Mike McCready and then they brought Jeff in (Stone and Jeff having been in MLB & Green River together). They made a demo tape with Matt Cameron (of Soundgarden and later Pearl Jam) on drums. They asked Jack Irons (former RHCP drummer) to join but he declined, they asked if he knew any singers and he suggested his friend Eddie Vedder. Eddie had been in a number of bands before, including Indian Style with Brad Wilk (RAtM & Audioslave drummer), and Bad Radio. Ed listened to the instrumental demo tape, wrote lyrics for 3 songs (the Momma-Son trilogy) sent it to the guys and they flew him to Seattle (from San Diego) to jam. During this time Stone, Jeff and Mike were working with Chris and Matt on the TotD project. One day during TotD rehearsal, while waiting for PJ rehearsal Eddie noticed Chris having trouble getting Hunger Strike the way he wanted and so Ed walked up and started singing it, Chris liked it and asked him to share vocals on the track. Because the TotD album was released before PJ’s debut it ended up being the first time Eddie was singing on a proper record.

[@blindssolarscreens2962]

Andrew Wood was murdered this album was written about Andrew Wood but they sacrificed him for fame.

[@1matrix9]

If we could only harness the power when you both smile. Your friendship could melt the camera lens.

[@williamholloway2564]

Chris. never forgotten. It is also synchronistic that this is Father's Day, I used to listen to this song with my Dad while we drove to Pennsylvania for our church delivering food to church members that were way off grid. Happy Fathers Dad Dad, not a day goes by I don't think about you old man and miss ya big time.

[@fredkrissman6527]

Having lived 5 yrs in Mexico, it's fun to listen to a Mexicana speaking such good English with just a touch of a south-of-the-border accent! ¡Bienvenidos!

[@michelemichele3375]

Great job, GF’s! Love love this track. And will forever miss Chris. Chris wrote the song and supposedly it was unplanned to have the duet, but Eddie was there and stepped up to the mic to help Chris sing and voila!! And that guitar (Mike on a Strat)! Perfect ! Great reaction! Hugs ✨🤪

[@tjones4028]

Just turned 21yo from Seattle….bar scene back then in town was unreal. So lucky to have grown into manhood in that city at that time.

[@gregcormier2379]

Nice selection ladies. 2 of the greatest voices from the grunge era!

[@jwhittington78]

Hey from Seattle! Fun watching you listen to our little local musicians. ;)

[@veevamm3642]

TEMPLE OF THE DOG is a band that made this album to honor Andrew Wood from Mother Love Bone. If you didnt know he was the singer and the rest of the band was the members of Pearl Jam. Andrew died and Eddie Vedder joined the band and Peal Jam was born. Andrew Wood died before their album came out but was an amazing singer! Please react to Chole Dancer by MLB.

[@blindssolarscreens2962]

Andrew Wood was sacrificed

[@clevellbarney8917]

That's the right attitude, especially with the best music. Lyrics matter the least. Pick up only what you can and only what you want. The song means what it means to you.

Wow! I'm smitten! Very nice ladies!

[@wagstaff6135]

So we need Nick to pre-record a mention of Holdsworth of course. (Yes of course that's a joke). I watch Lu just melt as soon as Vedder comes in, it's adorable. I bought the record for the Soundgarden component, myself. Reach Down is my favorite Temple of the Dog song. Of course this is great too!

[@thomsevilla4956]

Nice Reaction Guys

[@realisticthought1781]

Say hello to heaven is really good from this album also

[@firecatwess1794]

It is so much fun to watch 2 beautiful ladies & bff's listen to music. I wish had thought to recommend a song by Return To Forever when Lu was still in town. The song is called "Hello Again" it is on the Musicmagic album. I played it for a group of my friends that I hadn't seen in a couple of years. A beautiful mellow song that includes a beautiful vocal duet with Gayle Moran Corea & Stanley Clarke. Even if you & Nick don't want to react to this song I sure hope you can squeeze a quick listen sometime in between the million other songs you want to listen to(haha)I think the lyrics are highly appropriate when you haven't seen a good friend in a long while.

[@brendaotoole4012]

Fun reaction! Chris is my favorite. Have u ever heard his solo song ‘When I’m Down’. I think you and Nick will love it but you must must do the Live at the Troubadour version. Just him and great piano player. So good!!!!🙂

[@DrakeSpidey]

You guys should check out the official video for this song , privately it is amazing. Chris Cornell was one of the best!

[@daveross9534]

Listen to those two songs i mentioned..it's all in drop D anyway so that tone is there.

[@garylagstrom3864]

For me this song goes even deeper: We-America are the decadent we are the rich we have power over the powerless we are the problem and the solution is to feed the hungry the powerless the lowly of the low…Chris is saying we have enough we need to share it: His high vocals to me represent the hungry shouting:IM GOING HUNGRY!!!!! FEED ME PLEASE!!!

[@kennethbradford7045]

I would've LOVED to hear Chris Cornell, Eddie Vedder, Layne Staley and Kurt Cobain do a song together, that masterpiece would've stayed number one on the charts for a whole fucking year!!!!

Good song. I was probably a little bit too young back then to jump on the bandwagon (or not unhappy enough 😂). I find myself enjoying this kind of 90s grunge/alternative rock more now than back when it came out... Still - have a happy weekend.

You ladies should watch the video.

Did you show her the video or just the audio? The video is great as well. Lot's of lyrical vids that overlay on the original video; so best of both worlds.

[@jt1929]

Say Hello To Heaven, the Deluxe anniversary mix with no drums. Very powerful performance

[@FloatingAnarchy61]

I'd also like to add, I know you don't normally react to live stuff but have you seen Nirvana Unplugged. The whole thing is great, but especially Where Did You Sleep Last Night. It's an old Leadbelly tune but Kurt's rendition is absolutely spellbinding. Another great live reaction would be Nick Cave, Jubilee Street live in Copenhagen.

[@michelemichele3375]

You give the best comments! So many people here do too, but just had to show appreciation today. That Unplugged was iconic. Thanks ✨🤪

[@FloatingAnarchy61]

@@michelemichele3375 Thank you Michelle, you'll have me blushing in a minute. I've noticed you've got excellent taste in music. You certainly know your stuff so any praise from you is a great compliment❤

[@jmhaces]

I was in junior high when this stuff started to become popular, so I was in high school when Kurt Cobain died. I can tell you, it was awesome to grow up around the time that this was the kind of music that you'd hear on the radio and watch on MTV. Sure, other genres were popular too but stuff like this was literally charting instead of being underground music that only some people listened to. They'd pretty much play Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Metallica and Guns N Roses everywhere.

[@daveross9534]

This was a one and done.. Then it was back to Pearl Jam n Soundgarden..it would be listed under grunge cuz they were both grunge bands. But alot of this album isn't really grungy.. check out "Times of Trouble " ftom this album

[@kevinmarsh8922]

Since I no longer want "Take a Pebble", I would like to hear you try "Give It Everything You Got" by Edgar Winter, a funky rock song with great horns.

[@TheColdrush22]

I would love to have a video that reacts to the song first, and a second run through with the lyrics.

I haven’t paid attn to genres when it comes to music in ages….there’s 2 categories for me : what sounds good to me & what doesn’t 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@NicknLex]

Like you said. What sounds good to you. Not everyone will agree with what you think sound good or bad. So these 2 categories only really apply to yourself. Genres are good for people who haven't heard a lot of music or people getting into the habit of seeking out music unknown to them.

[@philharris5848]

How about showing your friend, Dimash. My recommendation would be "Sinful Passion" his Arnau Kinetic Voice concert version. Also his new MV aimed at the US market called "Be With Me." I think you may both be shocked by how musically diverse he is. 😃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍

Please react to Nightwish. You seem to like prog. What do I know about music genres, so I found someone listing the most progressive Nightwish songs to his mind. "Shoemaker", (it's about Eugene Shoemaker, the only human being whose ashes have been buried on the moon)" and "Tribal" lyric videos from their latest album "Human : II : Nature", in 2020, topped his list. React to one of those, please. Or If you prefer live performances: Nightwish "The Greatest Show on Earth" Tampere 2015 The song covers 4,6 million years in 20 minutes. Ghost Love Score Wacken 2013. Many first time listeners say the song makes them feel like going to a battle. 10 minutes. "The Poet and the Pendulum" Wembley Arena 2015. A song in 5 parts, 14 minutes. I do not really know how to label the song, performance, other than saying it's a masterpiece imo. It's advisable to check the backstory before reacting to it. Greetings from Finland!

People often confuse grunge with alternative..which i get since they co-existed.

[@Penddraig7]

Grunge is Alternative Alt-Rock is an umbrella term for a genre of rock in the same way that rock is an umbrella term for a genre of music. Alternative is a subgenre of rock and grunge is a subgenre of alt-rock, mostly defined by its subculture, it’s more of a subculture than a subgenre. so saying grunge isn’t alternative is like saying grunge isn’t rock or heavy metal isn’t metal etc

@@daveross9534 so was I, it’s what I was listening to in my late teens, but what has that got to do with the price of fish. And what has the internet got to do with it too? Nothing! Clearly you need the in-depth explanation because you don’t know a basic thing like the fact that grunge is Alternative, lol, that’s basic knowledge, music 101, established fact, it’s not a subjective opinion, it has always been the case, back when over 99% of the world didn’t have internet and probably didn’t even know what it was, didn’t know it even existed. So you can get arsey all you like and come out with irrelevant straw man arguments that have absolutely no bearing at all on the issue, your life story is irrelevant and the internet is irrelevant, neither had any influence on the emergence of alt or grunge It doesn’t change the facts, it doesn’t change that grunge is alternative, always has and always will be
