chinaclub If his wife then had of left him alone not keep thinking he’s was run around which he could’ve picked many every night never run out them decide on who make him happy I’m life So messed up he’s gone so sad now we only have videos to watch him sing and talk . Sexiest man ever they need put his pic on mag cover instead many of ugliest men I ever seen cause my opinion millions other women he was so so gorgeous his eyes topped him omg he had it all he was very kind man people knew him would say

[@emoriorisdottir7677]

“What.. what the Grammy’s think is what.. ya know.. what.. what counts so I guess we’re heavy metal. Guys? We’re heavy metal.”

[@ccsg1313]

Ok, it's official

[@honeytesta2429]

Adorable, loved every minute of this , brilliant video.

[@christophklein4554]

Chris hints at something which is usually not "morally" spoken off: the label "Heavy metal"(with all its features, expensive gear etc., applies to other styles/genres as well)" and HOW it is used in the business....Granted I`m not freakin brained, wasn`t there a specific record in the late 80`s by a band called Cryptic Slaughter telling us the answer Chris tries to avoid?

[@sarcasticasshole3980]

I remember this show like yesterday. I was up on the balcony seats, from that vantage point, it looked like Chris was throwing potato chips and condoms into the audience from those baskets. Soundgarden stole the show that night. Great show, great times. I miss the 90s.

[@MrMoon-59]

Louder Than Love era, my favorite era. Young & wilds

I can't believe they were nominated for a Grammy for Louder then love. It's a fantastic album, just surprised the Grammys would be aware of Soundgarden.

Trulysarcastic44 THEY WERE NOMINATED FOR THEIR PREVIOUS ALBUM FOR 1988'S ULTRAMEGA OK

Yeah it was for Flower off of Ultramega OK, which is even more surprising because that album was released on an indie label.

I think that shirt he is wearing is the same one Mike from AIC is wearing in a video, and the same shirt one of Nirvana members was wearing in a video. I think they passed that shirt around like jeans in sisterhood of the traveling pants. Lol it's the brotherhood of the travelling shirt Seattle bands passed around for good luck. I think it's the same shirt I've seen in 4 or 5 different bands from back then. Crazy, lol, maybe I'm just crazy.

[@mcdingus5081]

I saw these bands on this tour in Milwaukee. To this day this was the most intense show I think I ever saw. Three really great bands playing in a very small, packed venue. Bodies flying everywhere. Cornell and Patton were especially lit that night, it was the both of them on the cusp of being really, really huge bands- just months, maybe weeks away from really being all over MTV and just before Nirvana made the whole Seattle thing go insane. I especially remember Mike Patton getting on the top of one of the PA speakers and singing the theme song to a popular Nestle chocolate commercial at the time. I can't quite remember how it went, but I just remember him just riffing on all kinds of things and getting the crowd more and more lathered up like rabid dogs. It was great.

Chris jumped up and hung from it like a monkey. He was so athletic back then.
