"Bro! What is going on in this music video!?" Is what we all said first time we watched it. If you continue down the Soundgarden rabbit hole I would suggest (if you haven't reacted to them yet), Rusty Cage, Outshined, Spoonman, and Fell On Black Days. All great songs with Chris Cornell singing his heart out in the earliest part of his career.

RIP Chris. One of a kind. Amazing voice and writer. Chris has said that the song came while driving home and hearing something about a black hole sun by the reporter. He didn't hear the rest of the story, just that line and he put it together. A song he has said is just a put together with words and phrases he thought sounded good together, almost as if the listener is supposed to figure out a meaning for it for themselves. Chris was an interesting cat. As many genius artists are. You don't always know what or why they do what they do.

this song has a special place in my heart. it was what i was listening to when i realized i had a drug problem 25 year ago. i still remember that night vividly. i was way too under the influence, flipping through a book of aliens in fiction, this song was playing in the background, and i started staring at the wall, hallucinating, felt sick to my stomach and ran to the bathroom to go throw up. i remember hugging the toilet, slipping in and out of consciousness, worried i was going to die. for me, this song was the first step in my sobriety.

Huge hit single in 1994 w/ a creepy music video... and cryptic lyrics. That was 'Black hole Sun' by Soundgarden... It was about Cornell wishing for the end of the world around him... or the end of everything. He wrote a similar song w/ Soundgarden - 'Blow up the outside world'... Chris Cornell had a history of struggling w/ depression (and drugs)... Quite a few of his lyrics are real dark and ominous... it was clear now, knowing how he died in 2017, that he was clearly struggling and considering the end of his life w/ songs like 'Pretty noose' ... 'The day I tried to live' ... 'Like suicide' ... 'Fell on black days' ... by Soundgarden 🤘🤘🔥🔥 One of the standout solo songs by Chris Cornell was "Can't change me"... from 2000. It was about how a woman he was close to has a profound effect on everyone around her, but she can't seem to make a difference w/ him. Soundgarden was the Seattle band that Chris Cornell formed around 1984 and soon rounded up the line-up w/ Kim Thayil (lead guitar), Matt Cameron (drums) and Hiro Yamamoto (bass)... They became a major attraction in the Seattle underground scene and debuted w/ 2 EP's and the album 'Ultramega OK' in 1988... and then signed w/ a major label A&M Records, releasing 'Louder than love' in 1989 before bassist Hiro Yamamoto left the band; he was replaced in 1990 by Ben Shepherd (bass) 1991 was a pivotal year for the Seattle rock scene - Alice in Chains had debuted w/ 'Facelift' in 1990... Pearl Jam recorded and released their debut album 'Ten'... And Nirvana broke the scene into commercial success w/ their 2nd album 'Nevermind'... Chris Cornell had released 2 albums that year - Temple of the Dog (as a tribute to his late friend Andrew Wood) and Soundgarden's album 'Badmotorfinger'... By 1992, both Temple of the Dog and the 'Badmotorfinger' album had sold platinum in the USA and Soundgarden was actively touring into 1993. After the death of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain in 1994, the Seattle scene was starting to implode w/ Pearl Jam disappearing from public view and Alice in Chains slowly retreating from view as well... But Soundgarden released their biggest record 'Superunknown' in '94 and it was a massive hit on MTV and radio w/ 4 music videos and sold 6x platinum. In 1996, Soundgarden returned w/ the album 'Down on the upside'... it sold platinum, but the band was not functioning optimally on tour and while touring on the record, live appearances were reportedly so bad that being on tour was unsustainable. In 1997, Soundgarden shocked everyone by announcing their split. Soundgarden finally reunited in 2012 and recorded a comeback album 'King animal'... and were working on a new album by 2017. However, the same issues that broke up the band seemed to dog Soundgarden by that year... After a particularly bad Soundgarden show in 2017, Chris Cornell was apparently distraught while on the phone w/ his wife and abruptly hung up... When security went to check on Chris Cornell a while later, he had barricaded himself in his hotel room... They eventually found him dead from suicide 😪 Chris Cornell joined an ominous list of 90's rockers that passed away too soon... from Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, Layne Staley and bassist Mike Starr of Alice in Chains... Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots... Mark Lanegan of the Screaming Trees... bassist Kristen Pfaff of Hole ... Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon... Bradley Nowell of Sublime ... Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone ... Dolores O' Riordan of The Cranberries... etc.

Some of the things chris himself said about this song was, that he was just "playing with words for words sake", "guess it worked for a lot of People but I have no idea how you'd begin to taken that one litteraly" and "i sure didnt have an understanding of it I was just sucked in by the music and tried to paint a picture with the lyrics’ there was no real idea to get across" Also according to the band the video was entirely the directors idea, and at that point the only thing they wanted to do in videos was pretend to play and not look to excited about it.

There's another band Chris Cornell was a part of you may want to check out. That group is Temple of the Dog. It was formed after the death of Chris's friend Andrew Wood, who was the singer of the band Mother Love Bone, and featured two members of Mother Love Bone. They recorded one album, which had a popular single "Hunger Strike", which featured guest vocalist Eddie Vedder. Most of the members of Temple of the Dog besides Chris were, at the time, forming what would become Pearl Jam.

Soundgarden is one of the groups whose genre is debated. While they were initially greeted as a part of the rising Grunge genre, many in the heavy metal community place them squarely in the Stoner Metal genre. So, what is Stoner Metal? It is a subgenre of Doom Metal. Doom Metal exemplified by Black Sabbath is metal that slows the music down. Instead of speeding guitars you have a ponderous brontosaurs pounding along. Doom is also notable for being depressing hence the name Doom. As the name indicates while not required many of the bands focus on drug themes. Stoner Metal basically is Doom Metal that is too happy. Soundgarden is possibly the most widely known artist in this genre. Other artists to checkout: Sleep "Dopesmoker," Kyuss "Demon Cleaner," Bongzilla "Grim Reefer," and Church of Misery "Brother Bishop."

A LOT of 90's Grunge songs were about drugs, specifically heroin. A "Black Hole Sun" is literally the mark left by a needle. What follows is the "trip." "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is line for line Kurt Cobain's metaphors for the drug. Red Hot Chili Peppers have "Scar Tissue" with the repeated line "With the birds I share this lonely view." Getting high goes all the way back to the Beatles, the Byrds, and the Doors, and much further. Great artists always recognize their greatest faults. Dave Grohl (Nirvana) and Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) are great examples of musicians who moderated and pushed through to the other side. It's amazing that you're making the effort to learn about new music, so keep learning!

From Chris Cornell by way of wikipedia.. " "I wrote it in my head driving home from Bear Creek Studio in Woodinville, a 35-40 minute drive from Seattle. It sparked from something a news anchor said on TV and I heard wrong. I heard 'blah blah blah black hole sun blah blah blah'. I thought that would make an amazing song title, but what would it sound like? It all came together, pretty much the whole arrangement including the guitar solo that's played beneath the riff. I spent a lot of time spinning those melodies in my head so I wouldn't forget them. I got home and whistled it into a Dictaphone. The next day I brought it into the real world, assigning a couple of key changes in the verse to make the melodies more interesting. Then I wrote the lyrics and that was similar, a stream of consciousness based on the feeling I got from the chorus and title" " - " "It's just sort of a surreal dreamscape, a weird, play-with-the-title kind of song" " - " "Lyrically it's probably the closest to me just playing with words for words' sake, of anything I've written. I guess it worked for a lot of people who heard it, but I have no idea how you'd begin to take that one literally." " - - Which is all rather strange considering it seemed pretty obvious even at the time {I turned 18 in December 94} and absolutely certain now that this was a call for the World to End! Chris Cornell was 29 when Superunknown was released and probably 28 when he wrote Black Hole Sun, he grew up in the 70s and 80s turning 16 in 1980 and 26 in 1990. The video is clearly a play on ostensibly right of centre suburban christian and jewish americans of the 70s and 80s believing that life was a utopia whilst early members of suburban generation x like Chris grew up not knowing their place in that fake world. - Generation X were born as of 1964 so yes Chris Cornell was Generation X - Boomers were 46-63, Gen X 64-81, Millennials 82-99, Gen Z 00-17, Alphas 18-35. Jan 1 46 to Dec 31 63 is 18 years - A Generation Jan 1 00 to Dec 31 17 in 18 years - It may look like 17 but you're counting the full year of 2000 and the full year of 2017.

Chris Cornell covered Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U." MUST listen

Of all the grunge bands of the '90's, Soundgarden was my favorite. I personally dubbed the bands collectively as "Seattle Sludge" because they all came from Seattle (Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden) and had a very muddled sound compared to something more crisp like Metallica, Poison, Motley Crue, Queensryche, etc.I always felt that Soundgarden was the best of them, and I was heartbroken to hear of Chris' passing. I wish I had kept up with them at the time and had more time with Chris' vocals and lyrics while he was still with us.

You should checkout another Chris Cornell “supergroup”. Hunger Strike by Temple of the Dog. Chris and Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam both sing in it. In the early days of Grunge there were a lot of calib’s.

RIP Chris, remember going to his best friend's house and I mention to my little Sister in law that my Ex-Husband (now) was super hype to be jamming with Chris Cornell...and she was hype... saying you know he is a big deal this is 2000... as an Island Girl didn't know who he was but he was a sweetheart... of course later on I come to love his music and especially AudioSlave...

This video never made sense to me until I started my research about the Black Sun/Nemesis/ Red and Blue Kachina/Nibiru/Planet x. Basically the Planet/star that it's responsible for the end and beginning of new cycles on Earth. In other words, This Song it's about the end Times and him asking for the Apocalypse.

Some of Chris' lyrics are very abstract. Others are more straight forward. All are beautiful, happy, angry, sad, amazing.

Temple of the dog, and if you take Zack out of Rage Against The Machine and insert Chris Cornell, you get Audio Slave... Just dropping knowledge.

Would highly recommend you check out the other Audioslave tracks, notably "Show Me How To Live" and "Cochise".

Stone Sour- Zzyzx Rd. Hard to believe i guess, but its Cory Taylor-Cox of Slipknot.... You should love it as a former touring artist...

I just watched your Tom MacDonald reaction to Dirty Money and just found out your knowledge base. So not sure if I mentioned this this first time I watched this Soundgarden reaction, to tell you if you look up the Plasma Apocalypse, specifically on JayDreamerz channel. He breaks down this song and how its very much about the Plasma Apocalypse. Then the video and the lyrics will make alot of sense to you. Then you can actually appreciate this song for its real meaning.

Since you're on this whole trip with Chris Cornell, Soundgarden, audioslave as well with Eddie Vedder and pearl jam, I highly suggest Hunger Strike by Temple of the Dog

Chris Cornell was one of the greatest grunge rock vocalists of all times. I am still amazed at his vocal range and sheer power. My favorite Soundgarden song is Fell on Black Days. You should check out his super group Temple of the Dog and the song Hunger Strike wth guest vocalist Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder. What a collaboration!

Such an awesome heavy song. Black Sabbath;y vibe and wicked energy. This is about the perversion that is pervading the world mostly from Holy Wood in the City of the Fallen Angels Los Angeles, and the retribution from God that will inevitably come just like it did to Sodom and Gomorrah!

This video was a staple in staying home from school and watching VH1 or MTV in the 90s. Along with love is strong by The Rolling Stones and if it makes you happy by Sheryl Crow. But I hope that you've dive face first into Chris Cornell's catalog because he'll change your life

You should do Fell on black days next. It’s awesome. Great singer who struggled with depression and suicidal ideation. RIP Chris.❤

I love seeing you react to all the 90s music I loved as a teenager. Kind of asking these same lines...you have to check out Collective Soul. I love"December" by them. But they were super popular in this same time frame.

They have a lot of good songs when you're in a mellow mood. Good call.

The "vibro-joint" you mentioned was a real fitness machine. It was supposed to break up fat cells or something. Total quack device, but they did exist. . Both the song and video are meant to be taken very literally - he's singing about the terrifying, artificial banality of the suburban middle class, and he wishes the sun would turn into a black hole and suck it all up (wouldn't happen - we'd just freeze).
