Fuck you people. All of them are great and nobody will argue that who is better. Layne, Chris and other vocalists were singing from heart and all what is sung from it is uncomparable and awesome.
haha I would love to hear Staley try Ave Maria... let's not confuse smackhead rock, (which is awesome), to a talented vocalist like C Cormell. Cornell is far beyond any of the 90's music heroes. I know it's a popularity contest... but, musically speaking, let's be real.
I love this song but i just cant fucking stand anything of his work other than this and his performance with alice in chains in Right Turn that was awesome
He might not be able to hit the ear bleeding notes he used to, but I still think he's one of the greatest singers out there even now. He can still belt it out better than most half his age. Listen to the 'When I'm Down' video on his web page. Sounds exactly like the studio version from '97. He still has it.
sorry about this (probably going to get neg'ed by anyone who likes this singer) but going unplugged he dosnt sound like a very good singer.... at all but his actual song he sounds really really really good
dude chris is the man there is one that chris hits 3 damn octaves in under a minute during a progression and someone said hes a tenor but he can go so low and one of the best things about him is that when he screams whatever you want to call it his voice is not diminished its just as strong and amazingly even better than his voice is his songwriting abilities just reading his lyrics will give you goosebumps, i hope someday to be considered to be even half as good as he is whichll never happen
@rockstar9739 He was born an amazing vocalist!!!!!! 4 octave singer in his younger days but if you have ever listened to soundgarden you'll know why its diminished haha
Okay seriously guys...who cares if he shaved his mustache unevenly if he can write a song that brilliant and sing the song that awesome......and to top it all off this video is like 5 years old and he has only gotten BETTER since then, just saying :)
And Who is better then cornell ? Nobody because he is the man . Never heard a voice like that it goes right into your soul his voice chills me everytime.
alot of bands suck acoustically, but if you notice any grunge band, they are all fucking good when it comes to doing an acoustic song. cornell, layne staley, kurt cobain, scott weiland, they all sound good live. alot of the modern bands suck balls acoustically, because they dont have real talent.
grabled123, your an asshole and dont have any right talking any kinda shit. chris is one of, if not the best vocalist ever. his range is amazeing. and what was wrong w/ TOTD? hungerstrike was a kickass song, and as far as eddie, he is also a very talented singer. just cause you prolly have a shitty band that tries to cover these great artists and get booed doesnt mean they suck. it means you do so stfu
Ha, sorry, but that was stupid. It's all in taste. Sure, he's a great vocalist, but you can't say he's the best. No such thing. But you might have said it just to prove a point.
Personally, he is'nt even on my top 10, but he sure is great.
@ArtjomGlad Det är nog omöjligt för mig att säga faktiskt. Man har ju sina favoriter men att försöka rangordna dom är inte direkt rättvist. Beror lite på hur jag känner mig.
En av mina favoriter är Corey Taylor, för hans röst har en smärta i sig (om man lyssnar på lite lugna låtar från Stone Sour/Slipknot).
Matt Barlow för kraften
Steve Taylor, rysningar
David Draiman för hans sköna flyt när han sjunger
Eddie Vedder, Into the wild låtarna
Detta är några av dom som jag lyssnar mycket på just nu.
you suck chris. total sellout. milk it for all its worth. why dont you get eddie vedder and get his hair cut like yours and you can tour as temple of the fags.
@grabledl123 when you have made it like Chris, which is make music for over 20 years and form bands that have made musical milestones in rock music history, then you can mouth off like the rude little turd that you are.
maybe it means something to him and only him, and nobody would understand. lets say i say, lightning fast, pounding thunder.. it might mean something to you, but to me its a heart...
he may not be able to wail like he used to back with soundgarden but my god when you give him an acoustic guitar his voice meshes with it so perfectly. honestly i just think he should tour in this fashion cause he does it so well
Go the Christopher! ... I've always said I had no heroes (But) ... Dammit - one day I'll get "Say Hello To Heaven" down vocally ... lord knows I'm close ... Merry Christmas all CC fans and fans of the time (you know what I mean - Ed was there too) :-)
Its to be expected. However he's using his voice really well now a days. Knowing his limit in the high range. I thought this was actually a pretty good performance
this is in vegas the week he played freemont street. His website had the wrong time posted for the concert and every one that wanted to see only him showed up an hour late. He redemed himself by coming back 3 weeks later. I thot the jesus christ pose on freemont was better than the recording. the last 20 mins that I saw were amazing.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
great performance.
he sang that perfectly.
the guy next to him who ever he is i know hes CCs guitarest one of them at least but anyway he needs a haircut. it makes him look like a retard litarally. love Chris one sided stash
Man i remeber the old days of when grundge came out back in 1990 big fan of all of them. Alice in Chains,Soundgarden,Pearl Jam,Nirvana FOREVER Chris always had an amazing voice props to him for quiting smokin and drinking.Best I have heard from him in awhile.Brings me back this song.
