[@scotty3034]

Thank God Letterman loved music so fucking much and he left us with all of these killer live vids....thanks Dave!

[@bamb1123]

Mike Patton damn right.

[@antonioespinoza777]

ppl are suggesting save wrapping legends. let's keep General Patton in mint condition

[@kazmageddon2]

AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER! Immense Patton Love from Pakistan...

[@snidelywhiplash]

Hard to under-credit Letterman for his musical taste AND this particular format. Dude did a lot to boost great music.

[@maximeprometheas]

+EQ-smoove - Creative differences during the Down on the Upside recording sessions between Chris Cornell, who wanted to explore more of the mellow tunes that allowed him to use his vocals to their full range, and Kim Thayil, who wanted to go back to the hard and heavy and guitar-intensive sounds as before Superunknown.

[@steveg1700]

R.I.P. Chris, a black day for sure...

[@barrypfost2963]

Rip Chris, Jimmy , John, Randy. , miss you my bros.

[@christianjackson9360]

Glad he's gone as I DISPISE or somehow HATE his soft rock BULLSHIT music!!!!!!

[@user-ox5kh3fy8g]

Yeah, but spell despise right

[@trevchumby]

Christian Jackson Can’t wait till you’re gone. With your shitty spelling.... Nah. I’m only joking. .....am I really joking though

[@rhettbarrow8487]

Christian Jackson dude wtf? You’re nuts.

[@lexingtonbrassband]

"How would I know this could be my fate?" Indeed.

[@alejandroontiveros3922]

sadly, but someday

[@KeithCarey33]

lexingtonbrassband we are all near the end

[@rodrigotkm8429]

Produced in 1994, released in 95'. God. I can't imagine what he went through two decades, and how worst it got as older he got. Rest in Peace Chris Cornell.

[@camel-ot80espana72]

Profetic till the end..🙏

[@markusasseline5104]

HE WAS KILLED BY PEDOS, WAKE UP !!

[@henryb.little3399]

So damn real - no pretentious lyrics, not a single contrived word - just bare bones - Chris Cornell. Rest In Peace

[@darkscorpion-donzaloog]

Man, that sustained note from 3:26 to 3:33 gave me goosebumps! Chris Cornell is a legend of the mic!

[@Anjohl]

It was good, but sounded fishy to me. I suspect some doubling or backing tracks were involved.

[@trevorjalla]

+Anjohl soundguy pushed up the delay fx, that's all.

[@dersanz]

Pendulum Panda echo/reverb effect

[@matheusconcalves]

He was a legend of the mic! :(

[@keyboardgladiator8041]

have you heard Robert Plant or Myles Kennedy yet? Noob..

[@cake6736]

The best rock voice of all time. 😍

[@yacy5954]

cake sadly he’s dead

[@kingexclusivo]

Definetly up there

[@michaelchapman6087]

Max A Million so? Every great rock singer is dead.

[@mpthorvonericksen]

Some will argue that Freddie Mercury is the best. But CC is the best.

[@louiesalinas4720]

wow

[@rhuardihamilton3710]

today is a dark day. RIP Chris you will forever be the best vocalist ever.

[@mmo5366]

Brilliant song, smouldering rage and pain hidden behind a beautiful facade. Soundgarden will always be legends.

[@vitorkaique5782]

SoundGarden is one of those bands that with RARELY exceptions ALL the members are top level musicians, just like the Beatles or PinkFloyd, where all the members were talented and multifaceted. The bassist (Ben Shepherd) is a monster, the drummer (Matt Cameron) is a killer, the guitarist (Kim Thayil) is breathtaking in the tuning and complexity of the riffs, and Cornell sings like a God of Olympus, as well as playing very well, it's a band that has everything in terms of music, composition, chords, sonority, it's like a classical music show where the Maestro is rock n roll.

[@dhgbfhhhg8d412]

Just teared up watching this. I'm a 37 yr old male that grew up to this music. I rarely cry, but this song along with Chris's departure really got to me today and gave me a reality check. Rest in peace Chris, we will miss you very much.

[@louiesalinas4720]

wow! i was listening to flock of seaguls space age love song!!! thought of mommy i started to cry.

[@louiesalinas4720]

Music has so much Power! right friends???

[@burlmapleleafs]

Hi I just watched this too and same thing I started crying. He is the best . Nothings the same anymore.

[@Mrbungleface0u818]

As a guitar player when you take the time and dissect these riffs, melody's and juxtapose synchronicities. Soundgarden was really unorthodoxed and don't even get me started on Cornell's vocal abilities while playing said chords. It's truly unbelievable, best songwriters hands down

[@hustler3of4culture3]

Agree

[@Everlong-band]

it's a black day today, RIP Chris so unbelievably shocking. All our love and condolences , we always thinking of you

[@Brett101792]

For such a simple guitar lick, him and Kim produce so much tone

[@willdemi5618]

First thought upon hitting play was, damn the tones is dead on. Like hell even the live studio cut w the video didn't have tones this close to the record. Chris especially he's tone is clean and crisp. I wish I could see his board better here.

[@Lisa-f9w]

Saw Chris Cornell in person the best voice in history I will miss him forever

[@irenedevita648]

💔

[@Captbossdaddy]

We live in a sad, narcissistic, depraved world but we were blessed with hope, strength, and love. Be the change you want to see in the world.

[@trulyunoriginal]

What a band. Guitarists love the guitarist, bassists love the bassist, drummers love the drummer, and everyone loves Chris Cornell.

[@JorgeSotoSonora]

SO WELL DESCRIBED.

[@vernetexon4914]

Man this is so true. never thought about it like that.

[@lunatico981]

And Chris was the only one in the band who was a guitarist as well and also the drummer. First drummer of Soundgarden. But yeah, you are right :)

[@accesosinmobiliarios7557]

AMÉN FOR THAT SENTENCE. WELL SAID BROTHER.

[@sandrapresciti6517]

Perfection in Music Mothion 🎉❤

[@miguelslocomusica2900]

Sad loss. A great artist, a unique voice, gone way too soon. Thinking of his family, friends and band members. Really is a black day for a musos and my generation that grew up on Soundgarden. RIP Chris

[@Sam-0827]

His voice sounds so sweet live, the studio version has this roughness, but the clarity of his voice here is beautiful too. Both are good

[@AdamSmithNES]

When I was in the fourth grade, our music teacher asked everyone to bring in a piece of music to share with the class, I brought Outshined, and had to show my teacher that the lyric was "where the dogs are shedding", or else I would've gotten in trouble I guess haha. RIP Chris

[@JessicaJRolla]

One of my favorites by Soundgarden... RIP Chris Cornell, a true and raw talent I will miss

[@BadazzGregg]

Are you really going to tell me that this guy took his own life? This guy Chris will always be, to me one of three voices of grunge music , and if you went to school in the 90s, and this was your thing, it just doesn't get any better than this.

[@motorologist]

@N. R one is Layne, no doubt. Other one probably is Kurt, but I would say Jerry Cantrell myself

[@sebs7676]

Layne and Phil Anselmo

[@randypoffo4life]

Soundgarden for LIFE!!!! Rest In Peace Christopher John Boyle

[@puphspoet]

Falling on black days... It is now. RIP Chris.

[@3579musiclover]

His voice will always give me goosebumps. Rest in peace Chris. :(

[@rjonzen34]

Thank you Chris from the bottom of my broken heart...you, Layne, Scott, saved so many people you will never understand. I'm forever thankful that I had your musical presence in my life! Rest easy spoonman

[@mannix7900]

One of the greatest vocalists ever. RIP

[@tomg_2]

They’re all playing and singing perfectly in this performance…🤘🏻

[@williamberry8895]

Fun fact.... The 2 greatest singers of the 90s rock scene are from Seattle, they were taught by the same vocal coach and their names are Chris Cornell and Layne Staley of Soundgarden/Audioslave and Alice in Chains/Mad Season

[@stevenhseale]

So freakin awesome. Live without the noise, just pure talent

[@MSandovalPhD]

RIP Chris. We already miss you 😣

[@34rdiaz]

one of ....if not my favorite songs of all time...may you r.i.p ( ROCK IN PARADISE)..chris cornell..we miss you..:(

[@heavymetal1330]

One of the best songs of all time. Thank you Soundgarden!

[@icbm777]

There will never be another Chris Cornell. No one will ever reach the level of this mans amazing lyrics, vocal power and musical creativity. Rest in peace forever, thanks for your presence in the rock world.

[@Anna-ml7rm]

Incredible voice. One of my favorite Soundgarden songs

[@jacqueline4868]

Every once in awhile an artist touches your soul and Chris Cornell has done that for me. I'm so sad that I found him/his music after his passing. R.I.P. Mr. Cornell

[@amyamestoy3469]

Layne Stanley's vocals are hauntingly beautiful as well . . . Alice In Chains!!!

[@austinhunt4260]

Miss you, Chris. Thank you for bringing joy and curiosity to my life and the lives of millions.

[@BoxCarBoy12]

Fell on Black Days is definitely one of their best live songs. The studio version sounds bland compared to their other masterpieces, but I'll never forget the first time I heard it live. When Chris started to belt out those high notes towards the end, the sheer power and emotion he put into them nearly made me cream my pants. The energy a live performance provides really brings this song to life. Chris is a legend.

[@drfunk1986]

+Soundtallica in Chains are you smoking crack? Their album version is amazing.

[@BoxCarBoy12]

drfunk1986 I know my opinion isn't popular, but I just don't like the album version very much. It's too polished to me, and filters out the emotion needed for this kind of song to work.

[@ChromeCobra420]

The video version is 100% and 1000x better than the studio release on the album, no doubt about it. That said, both are incredible.

[@stotheak]

I've always wondered about the people that see awesome performances like this and somehow click dislike. Do they see it and they're like no one should play that well...dislike.

[@trevorjalla]

This is pretty hard to listen to right now... RIP Chris.

[@zigisamblak]

This hits so deep. I miss you Chris.

[@bell677]

sound garden rocks in 2014 too , I saw them last night

[@bernlin2000]

Sweet lord, is Superunknown a critically underrated album, RIP Chris Cornell

[@TheBeverleyann]

Rest in Peace Chris

[@sutats]

One of them brooding day type songs. Love it.

[@Gregsheppo66]

Vale Chris Cornell. The world is less without you mate.

[@chrissett4245]

He was one of the best... Rip Chris

[@Splatzloki]

Chris Cornell has passed away. Rest in Peace. You will be missed

[@Androgenies]

Thank you for the music, Chris Cornell, and whole Soundgarden band.

[@DSerge-wi3nf]

Great venue. Goosebumps.

[@kinneyclausnitzer2791]

This performance gave me chills just a gift chris and soundgarden were for us all

[@cala1979]

gee i miss his voice now. RIP

[@lifeandThings]

Man, this was a good live version I must say!

[@tjlazer79]

Yep. Another great singer from the 90s who fell victim to drugs or suicide. I never thought Chris would be one of them. RIP.

[@Tinsymom1]

That voice....

[@captainbuttnuggets4786]

Never had the chance to see them live but my favorite album is superunknown

[@TheBlackCrayon77]

A beautiful and talented man that left us too early. Soundgarden has and will always be one of my favorite bands. They were a huge part of my childhood.

[@mattheewilliams3769]

OHHHH, MY GOD CHRIS COULD SING!!!. Chris was so full of talent. We will never see another one like him......how are all those big bands from the 60s and 70s out living bands from the grunge era?

[@zackreynolds21]

Harder drugs

[@hunterwest54]

Heroine

[@97carded]

What a fantastic singer. Love him. God bless him and his family.

[@mywaveinwoodswoodperfumes]

Chris sang this song for himself 20 years ago for today. How would I know that this could be my fate.

[@Shoepacalypse]

It's been a year since you left us. Miss you Chris Cornell...

[@jecht94]

Rest easy chris

[@aprild9577]

I can't blame the crowd being that I got to see Soundgarden when down on the upside came out. They're so awesome you get hypnotized and maybe put in disbelief that you're seeing them. Sometimes it happens when you see a band as good as they are so you aren't necessarily screaming your head off

[@Slowdough99]

Music today filled with autotune like with Billie Eilish, masking the true voice, meanwhile this man could take a dingy microphone or a Dixie cup and sing to you like God himself was whispering in your ear. Truly a voice of unmatched depth and personal connection. People ask how one can be so consumed and moved by music, listen to this man sing, and tell how could you not. RIP my friend. "Never more than two drinks away, from crying".

[@deansolistino]

Beautiful song-- reminds me of being a teenager. Love your music Chris. Peace upon you wherever you are...

[@deanplayer69metalplayer89]

Fucking amazing performance! I can't believe he's gone! Miss you brother! RIP CHRIS

[@leafbelly]

How great is his voice here?

[@gavinmallock9021]

Amazing vocals Chris

[@PastorinoOlivier]

Chris Cornell was not only a great singer, musician, composer and lyricist he was also the frontman of 2 of the greatest bands ever Soundgarden and Audioslave (and also Temple of the dogs and great solo carreer). Our attempt to pay a tribute to my personal favourite singer with our version of "Be Yourself" here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5KtkoyOm66XqLs

[@kelvincanda6617]

Chris Cornell: what a legacy!!!

[@arielveloso]

Chris, mis mejores recuerdos de la mejor época de rock en el siglo.

[@BenjaminKanarek]

"Fell on Black Days..." we all have...Chris was perfection.

[@carvalho1990]

RIP bro.

[@reemclaughlin4260]

He was truly at his best. This is 1st time I've watched since he was 'suidided'. 🙏🏻💖🕊🙏🏻💖🕊🙏🏻💖

[@mattclarknyc]

Chris, if I ever find myself in the same place where you are, I'm gonna look you up & we're gonna have to hang out a bit.

[@drummerdoingstuff5020]

Hang in there buddy, been through some dark days myself and didn't realize how beautiful life was until I found my way out the fog. Peace❤️

[@sherrymorris8628]

Beautiful Matt. Can I come too? ❤🦘🐨

[@hankhardigan1104]

Thayil was probably the best lead from the grunge era

[@Gabrieldossantos-ss2gu]

R.I.P Chris!

[@wilk701]

I miss you Chris, miss your voice...

[@BarbButler]

💕 💞 💓 💗 💖... RIP Legend... We all fell on black days, since you've been gone... 💔😢

[@timhyer1]

mark hamill is killing it on the drums!!

[@XORRAIL]

rip chris, the world is less harmonious without you

[@bjaded1]

man, Never thought Id have to say this, but RIP Chris.

[@preludeguy22]

awesome recording. his vocals were on point for this performance

[@DanielScanlon463]

Incredibly fucking SAD!! Rest in Peace Chris. Dude, why???

[@andrewgonzalez6208]

Beautiful song

[@fat69]

The musicianship in this song is just immaculate. I'm speechless.

[@Blessedbeauty82]

I wish i was at that concert! :-)

[@slashmckagan8207]

*RIP - Chris Cornell*

[@Challender]

Chris Cornell The Real Deal, Hard Working, Lover of his Art! Thank goodness for that! certainly a black hole without your contributions to Music.

[@phiaman]

That is some serious fuckin range and wailing by Chris in the second half to end of this song... He has amazing power and vocal ability but sometimes it doesn't always come through live.. then, there are the live songs or videos like this that come out..and even though it may not sound like the album, it is hard to deny, ignore, or not be hit by the sheer strength and fuckin' in your soul uniqueness that cannot be not experienced... I've had a toke and a few sips and whatever I just typed made sense in my head.. just sayin :)

[@IDMD8]

What a performance

[@drumtravelfun]

RIP.

[@jeffreyschmoldt7798]

Thanks for leaving us some great tunes Chris. Rip friend

[@Gabriel-jb5cr]

He has a unique and extraordinary voice

[@PersephoneSkye_]

Still as good now as it was back then

[@MathisMade]

Kim was definitely not on his "A" game on the first two verses of this song, but redeemed himself at the end!

[@Disc1]

I often wonder why he won't use a little reverb for leads, it all sounds rather plastic.

[@MathisMade]

Yeah, I hear you. Only reason I could think he wouldn't is that the rooms that they play in have enough natural reverb. We are also hearing the dry mic-ed up version of their amps. When I saw them live 2 years ago he killed it and he sounded amazing.

[@joe1hundred]

that's a great point! about the mic-ed up sound

[@joe1hundred]

and that last lick was all killer no filler

[@ashleyheuer2109]

Glad I didn't miss the ride. Sad he I was around to see you go! See you in heaven 🙏 brother. I want to jam when I get there.

[@NeroJohnsonV]

I Hate that I can't enjoy them live... You weren't a man, you were a God...

[@rsohlich1]

I love this song. Still doing time in 2021

[@CopenhagenCollabo]

So sad that Chris is no longer among us, you are missed and maybe gone but I will never forget you.. Thanks for all you gave us for eternity 🌞🍀❤️🌝

[@CRN8091]

Glad I managed to them live and also Chris doing an acoustic set in the Sydney opera house.RIP Chris.

Awesome voice of the grunge times R. I. P. Chris Cornell
