"Seasons & The Day I Tried to Live" Chris Cornell@Santander Arts Center Reading, PA 11/22/13

[@leelou11uk]

I'll go as far as to say the best rock voice of all time. beautiful man.

[@DarioCaprice]

yeaah!

[@sugarw]

Hard to argue with that... I'd put Robert Plant, Ann Wilson, Mike Patton and Freddy Mercury with him. How lucky are we to have been able to hear all of them sing our lifetime?

[@bryanc.8441]

@@sugarw Good grouping .

[@MustObeyTheRules]

Even if we ignore the singing, his song writing and creativity is god like. Literally unbelievable.

RIP Chris. You were a triple threat that you rarely see in musicians today (talented writer, guitarist, and vocalist). You'll be missed!!!

He could read the Nutrition Facts on the cereal box and it would still rock harder than everyone.

One of the greats

[@shellygonzales1177]

damn-That's a fact! if he was with me, Ida been like, pretty please, baby...could u read me the directions, ingredients, SUBTITLES, and just sing to me your notes, your ideas!

[@briencampbell5220]

it's took Cris to pass on before any of you would have noticed this it's a shame no this he was and always be one of my favorite performer and it's a really a shame that everybody's trying no doing the same with kurt,PRINCE and so forth come on let him rest in peace he's finally at peace let's remember him in are heart's and soul and continue to just listen to a great person and loving father and most of all a great person peace Cris

[@briencampbell5220]

Shelly Gonzales come on world you have been saying this same B.S.if he was still out there blowing people's minds with his and his fellow band members the same with everybody who has pass on just like kurt and other's let him and his family remember him and like everyone especially the morons that or talking to him though a so call life after death device some box and this clown is going on with a bunch of static and asking this thing who kill you come on let's not forget that he was also a great musician and father and great person long before his passing let him rest in peace and like always enjoy his music peace Cris

[@joshmartins560]

How does someone come up with such a great melody over such a weird riff like he's playing in the verses of The Day I Tried To Live. Pure musical genius. Once in a lifetime talent . Still can't wrap my head around him being gone...

[@nevynnowhere6322]

Just try being a philosopher musician. No one else will ever get it.

[@SickerTrumpet]

The day I tried to live was one of his personal favorites

[@ironeagle22a]

I wonder why

[@grantteets3464]

It’s my favorite

[@The_Man_Who_Sold_the_World.]

Wish he played it live more often

[@ChicagoTechGuy]

8:07 is pure emotion.. Crank up your volume to max and just listen! You just don't see this anymore in today's music... Chris Cornell is a living legend among us, take it in, this man is 100% real and amazing! Man, I wish I could sing my heart out like that, huge inspiration, I am going to keep trying!

[@bribro6042]

Rock god.

[@bryansmith4403]

Larseus I agree. I graduated in 91. Love all the music and so many legends from that era. Chris is on the top of my list. Sound garden, pearljam, nervana, smashing pumpkins, shit. Guns and roses. Just loved the time in music. So glad some legends like Chris are still as perfect today as back than. Pure passion.

[@TM-wk4qu]

Larseus I'm so sad he is no longer here

[@mutabore7]

He was a living legend. Now he's just a legend.

[@sollanorabelobraga7592]

Goodbye Chris :/

Sad at the loss of this talented musician. Sadder still for his family.

[@kevjohn2006]

SON OF A BITCH!! This came up on my feed yesterday and I was listening to it as I got ready for work. I work nights, so he was already gone by then. I didn't find out until this morning. R.I.P. Chris.

[@fullmetalfreedom]

I have always always loved this fucking song!!!! He said this was never intended to be on any albums cuz he was just learning guitar then. It's amazing. Makes me think of Led Zeppelin.

[@jaekwonthechef]

I'm a LUNATIC Zeppelin fan, and I have no problem saying that Soundgarden is the grunge era version of LedZep. Thayil's use of both odd tunings, and his playing style are very page-esque. Cornell had the range and rasp of Plant. Cameron was one of, if not the best drummer in rock at the time. Not to knock on Shepherd, or any of their bassists, but nobody is filling John Paul Jones' shoes.

[@joelpinckney9782]

His work on JCP is unreal.

[@chrisparsons6686]

jaekwonthechef 110% correct couldn’t agree more one of the greatest ever and there will never be another so may this great artist be at peace

[@nataliep501]

Yes! Itd fit right in on III

[@jp360ford2]

If that's where he was at in "just learning guitar"... holy cow!

[@jackiemasci7992]

I am so amazed by him, I love his accustic stuff! He's so raw and real it makes you feel a connection to him and his music! There will never be another like you Chris!!! Your the best and your missed by so many! Rip🥀

[@kellyannmckinley2254]

rest in peace chris, thank you so much for all the good night's we have had listening to your music, we hope you are looking down on us in the jesus christ pose. the world has lost one of the original grunge gods.

[@jonkarch838]

+Nikita Saraev His worsened voice is still a better voice than pretty damn much anyone.

[@LMax-uo4jd]

+Nikita Saraev before 1995? are u for sure? he was in his 20-30's, of course its different now, he is 52 yrs old in June 2016, i think its not right to say worsened, you're a fan too, right? i think his voice is also a journey of his music, his voice is heavier and has that distinctive smoky, blues and still so much power, i think that's why he does acoustic/unplugged live session now, and, who else (singer) in his 50's has that powerful vocal? -cheers

[@ernievids123]

+L.Max I agree before 1995 his voice was so powerful. But early 2000s his voice was so damaged that he had to adapt to his current voice which is frikin awesome too but not as powerful as early soundgarden Chris

[@kevinl2243]

i actually think i like his voice better now. he can't get as high as he used to, but the increased raspiness he's now got adds a kind of character to his singing he didn't have in Soundgarden.

[@Luvie1980]

He should be buried in Seattle!

[@anon8577]

Great singer, possibly the best ever. But, also a fantastic guitar player. Never got enough recognition as a guitarist,

May the angels in Heaven enjoy your amazing voice and may God welcome you up far beyond the skies.....missed dearly. Never forgotten.

[@Beeker255]

Such a nice way to put it. I know its been 11 months but its coming up on his passing anniversary. I been listening to SG and CC since the early 90's. Still miss him.

Chris and Layne were by far the best of that era. I was lucky enough to see both live many times.

16 albums from Chris. 1 Temple of the Dog...3 Audioslave...5 Solo music...Soundgarden 7 technically counting Screaming Life as the band counts them own selves :) BRILLIANT ARTIST HE WAS!!

The amount of talent that left the earth is immeasurable.

[@rikenroll]

I think The Day I Tried to Live is probably the greatest Soundgarden song, but I don't know, there are so many great ones. But this one in particular gives me chills every damn time.

[@IrishGuitarGaz]

I first heard it on holiday in Jersey (UK one) in 1995 with my family, I was a Nirvana loving teen who was starting to listen to other Seattle stuff and bought Superunknown on cassette to listen to on my walkman. First listen through of the album I loved it all, but fell in love particularly with this song. 25+ years later and listened to so many great Cornell songs but this remains my favourite. Nothing Left To Say But Goodbye runs a close second.

[@valfareinwindir]

I remember having 12 years old, being in the movie theater watching Man of Steel and for a surprise: One of my fav musicians starts playing and singin. Thanks Chris for everything. You were one of the greatest of all time.

[@heatherangel7935]

Happy Birthday Chris. My heart is still broken that we lost you too soon.

A vocalist, a musian, a carry-us-along. This is the absolute epitome of alternative rock vocals right here and a powerhouse of our day. What Chris did with his voice, octaves and vibrato will go down as one of the best to do it during the time. Ever glad I was about to witness it.

If you wrote a song and played it to an audience it is up to you to decide if you want to play it at any speed you want I would figure. You cannot critique how fast or slow he plays it. It is his song. His intention during the original recording may be exacly how he played it here.
