Chris Cornell & Eddie Vedder - Hunger Strike (September 8, 1992)

[@ives3572]

"When we started rehearsing the songs, I had pulled out "Hunger Strike" and I had this feeling it was just kind of gonna be filler, it didn't feel like a real song. Eddie was sitting there kind of waiting for a (Mookie Blaylock) rehearsal and I was singing parts, and he kind of humbly-but with some balls-walked up to the mic and started singing the low parts for me because he saw it was kind of hard. We got through a couple choruses of him doing that and suddenly the light bulb came on in my head, this guy's voice is amazing for these low parts. History wrote itself after that, that became the single." - Chris Cornell

Yes, my generation... It was yesterday, when we were young. Quite sad a bit... These years was a war in Balkan, but not in my province, and in all that chaos, sanctions, inflation and poverty, my generation had a great time listening the big 4 from Seattle and other great bands. The good music connect people and finds it's way to the most remote places on our planet.

It never will... Rock is dead and shitty music is taking over. I guess that's what people thought about Grunge when it took over Hair Metal. The problem is that we always have to find fads and focus on those fads so much that we cause artists to overdose and commit suicide solely because they are too stressed by the situation. I mean, maybe in the future some form of rock will be prevalent again, but sadly we can never go back to this generation. I never saw Nirvana, Alice in Chains, or Soundgarden and I feel like although I'm not the biggest Pearl Jam fan, I should see them and Eddie before something else happens, god forbid.

[@ives3572]

"It was during that same week that I was up there [In Seattle rehearsing with Pearl Jam]. Day four maybe, or day five, they did a Temple [of the Dog] rehearsal after our afternoon rehearsal. I got to watch these songs, and watch how Chris [Cornell] was working, and watch Matt [Cameron] play drums. It got to "Hunger Strike" - I was sitting in the corner, putting duct tape on a little African drum. About two-thirds of the way through, he was having to cut off the one line, and start the other. I'm not now, and certainly wasn't then, self-assured or cocky, but I could hear what he was trying to do, so I walked up to the mic - which I'm really surprised I did - and sang the other part, "Going hungry, going hungry." The next time I was up, he asked if I'd record it - so it was just me and Chris in the same studio that we made [1991's] Ten record. I really like hearing that song. I feel like I could be real proud of it - because one, I didn't write it, and two, it was such a nice way to be ushered onto vinyl for the first time. I'm indebted to Chris time eternal for being invited onto that track. That was the first time I heard myself on a real record. It could be one of my favorite songs that I’ve ever been on - or the most meaningful." - Eddie Vedder

No, Chris looked over because it was a "get ready to sing the chorus again" look check,,, Eddie was playing exact rythym guitar that goes with the lead guitar melody that chris is playing,, The look of frustration I believe was possibly a little insecurity because at that time 1992 ,, Both vocalists I believe where far more comfortable having their band mates playing the guitar, , Therefore they are more (Chris at least) comfortable singing with the band, and not playing and singing at the same time,,, also un rehearsed, It's 25 years later today,, wow, and by now Chris is very comfortable playing and singing together (acoustic Cornell ) And after 25 years they are no longer new amateur Pro's, , They are Now Veteran Professionals, ,,, Until Chris checked out not long ago,, dang it Chris,,,, THIS IS MY OPINION, NOT TO START ANY ARGUING

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!

[@coldacre]

back when Chris was the greatest singer in the world! mental vocals!

[@RuffisInc]

He is still better off than most singers after over 25 years of solid performing. Bear in mind that during the Superunknown tour Soundgarden were doing 5-6 shows a week. Then listen to King Animal, not quite the same but very close to how his voice used to be. His voice is still brilliant when you take that into consideration and compare him to, for example, James Hetfield or someone at a similar age with a similar career length

[@MartinLeBlancEigtved_why]

Layne Staley was better IMO

[@Tryder50]

Martin LeBlanc Eigtved lane had his own style. Can't compare them really. Most people consider Cornell "better" because of his range, but it's all preference.

[@pinemarten7509]

Love this so much 💖💖💖 Rip Chris Keep rocking Eddie

[@ccryder5289]

Those were great days of music. I long for them again. Eddie Vedder is my king❤

[@huckle_berry5081]

Still watching in 2021. Anyone else? ✌💗

[@nxcoleb6759]

I am here today because Chris Cornell is up and gone. His absence has already been profound, just days later. The day a Black sun was cast forever as I listen to the new beautiful voice screaming from the heavens above.

[@joshgorsky5224]

They killed him, he had a bleeding head wound and was strangled with an exercise band but everyone just accepts that it was suicide. Chris deserves justice but this world is run by demons

[@ivorykeez]

It was a learning process for all.. artists, crew, Local crew, crowd and so on and so forth.. the raw intensity is what made them’ early Lolla years so freakin special and amazing thanks to Perry and that other partner dude ;)

[@catherineroegehring3055]

Fucking hilarious at the beginning. Eddie: Chris, why are we doing this? Were just going to make fools of ourselves. Chris: hahahs Idk, so we came up here to make fools of ourselves, goes on to say they're going to be assholes. Great intro!!!! lmfao

[@gildamatias9085]

My two loves. God please give Eddie more time in this world.

[@mikeclarke8710]

Live legendary performance ....... would have killed to be there .... followed since early 92 and adored ever since ....... Chris's passing such a loss but what a legacy he left . Will enjoy this music every day for ever more . Grunge will never die

[@unnamedwriter]

The POWER of music!!! The empty hall turned full when those two amazing voices began to sing... \\\mm/// \\\mm///

[@nesanesa8361]

God I miss them somebody take me back in there and never let me come back!

[@PaulMercedes]

Look at the crowd at 1:14 Then look at the crowd at 4:15

[@CaptainProspect007]

[@tijuanaiguana190]

The power of a hunger strike

[@lonccoccala6861]

[@jecapeca]

[@JonnyLenin]

RIP Chris. I will miss you so much

[@mountzod]

JonnyLenin a day doesn't go by that i don't think about him... one of my musical heroes and i was devistated by his death; ...it had a profound affect on me for real. Love you chris... you'll never be forgotten 😢

[@jontillis3005]

Chris coming back...cause he went hungry on the farmed babies.

[@vickil.1388]

Those young men were such talented singers., Vic.

[@freyajade7294]

Absolutely beautiful

[@lestattt100]

We dearly miss you Chris Cornell... love you brother, rest now.

[@masonyuzwa8717]

This is from a long losted time that won't ever be duplicated !! Can't listen to Chris without getting in my feels tbh !! With him, Kurt and Lane gone we must try hard to preserve Eddie and Gavin Rosedale, last of the great 90s grunge rock singers left !!

[@jodesb1]

I was there for this. Can’t believe that this video exists. I told the story of how it happened for years to friends. I was in total disbelief when I stumbled upon this video. Hearing the first few notes from the lawn, realizing what was happening, running to the side stage as quick as I could. It was as unforgettable as you would imagine, even in the moment.

[@cbobobo8384]

I love how they smile at each at different points, but at different times, and only once or twice they make eye contact and you can see how proud they are of this song and each other for joining forces with a better talent than you. Eddie thought Chris was a a better singer, and Chris thought Eddie was better. That look of synergy beginning to happen between those two vocal angels, is what life is all about. Don't be afraid to try anything your heart desires, Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, had never played Bass before being ask to join RHCP, as a Bass player. LIKE, WHAT? That happened!! Look it up. You can do anything if you believe in it and put the time in to do it.

[@jimwocha4949]

Great song and iconic jacket from Ed! Had one like it myself and long hair at the time. PJ my favourite rock band of time. Never really got into Chris's bands but appreciate his talent of course. RIP.

[@gallowsradio]

What a great treat is to watch two very talented musicians bond together...

[@ryanstephens7839]

RIP CC - it feels good to watch them on stage together then hurts to know it won't happen again in this lifetime

[@John6-40]

4:00 Eddie misses his cue and laughs about it.

[@MikeSmith-cn6ub]

He was smiling the whole time he hadn't even tasted fame yet he was still vain

[@terirosa3961]

Favorite part!

[@jecapeca]

Yeah, he was embarrassed.

[@aeon.g]

He was laughing at Cornell singing the high part in the beginning of the phrase rather than the middle. It was probably a joke.

[@Punkin-f2l]

2 beautiful men and great singers!!!

[@rockydennis4497]

Wow!!!!Chills, smiles and tears over here!!! Beautiful!!!!!!

[@LorrieAMoffatt]

Two of the most talented and beautiful men on the plant. ❤❤❤❤❤❤😂❤❤❤❤❤
