[watsuppeopleitsme]

[greeneyesfromphilly]

[Brided23]

Hed agree wit me, not the best set. Love Chris to death though man.

[Dubhgrunge]

El mejor cantante del GRUNGE, y un tema hermoso!. Volve por favor!, destruime la cabeza con tu voz. IDOLO!

[Fulanogt500]

better than the original... even better...

[wacksavage]

favorite vocalist... love this song...don't really agree with the lyrics, so I wrote a version of my own called "World of Hate". Check it out if you like, realize I know that I'm no Chris Cornell.

[kjrock2]

Too bad he's a dumb ass and left what could have been the greatest band of all time.

[daneparsonslf]

@kjrock2 I hope you mean soundgarden and not audioslack.

[JanMarie1007]

Oh yeah!!!

[RATMAudioslaveJunky]

Long live Chris Cornell!!!

[mrevolutions23]

this song is prodigious and unbelievable!

everytime i listen to it i get a little emotional cause the song itself is beyond this world and chris's vocals on the song is that of an angle!

i will forever love this song and chris!

[TRUEBLADEKP]

[068672039]

[ourbloodyrevolution]

[chpthncook37]

@outherree HURRICANEEE KATRINNAAA BUDDY!!!

[EvilSpikems]

[kurtgerald23]

Wide awake..

[spdsly4]

Who can compare to Chris Cornell's talent?

[wayne071079]

@spdsly4 kelly jones?

[powdersnowhead]

@spdsly4 Justin Bieber? Oh no, sorry, that was Kurt Cobain ;)

[lakajd]

anybody know the chords......or tuning??(pretty sure it standards..but the E string sounds a little low)

[lakajd]

anybody know the chords?

[demoncrusherdude]

he sucks totally but perhaps not as bad as the faggy bass player who cant play to save his life!

[saidaouitawashere]

Amazing stuff. Chris Cornell is single handedly keeping Rock N Roll alive.

[Dico854]

@saidaouitawashere great point n true with the exception of very very few,but nobody even close to cornell,he imbodies rock,lol i probably say that atleast 50 times a year

[xXxsquittyxXx]

magic

[unblinkingmajority]

YOU GOTTA LOVE HIS VOICE

[4511769]

[GastroGreen]

@4511769 taht is ive tath ever singer taht seen taht best

[ArtjomGlad]

Why look at a singer?

[ConvalescenceStation]

WOW he rocked this song...almost better that Audioslave! I like it accoustic!

CC4eva!

[Raykosza]

wow this guy is the modern day king

[moimoiac]

He likes to sing

perhaps will learn!

[Thewhitewookiee]

your right, he's not the best singer, maybe Paul McCartney better

[sillyputty72]

best vioce ever

[metsrkool]

insane..... i love it

[JonGian]

what a great song, well done!

[rockstar9739]

the vid is called "chris cornell on 'wide awake' " look it up

[Spashaei]

yo wheres the other half of his stache? haha...sorry had to point that out

[mindyourbeezwax]

He's singing about American elected George bush

sold out Americans and turned his back on his own country because the evil fucking whole was liberating Iraq so he can secure oil for his future.

Americans are so fucking ignorant.

All you could focus on was a fucking moustache.

God help the rest of the world.

The US is heading for bankruptcy not only financially but spiritually.

They're dead from the neck up.

[Spashaei]

GET A GRIP! I'm a Cornell fan...sorry for having a sense of humor.

[rockstar9739]

actually genious, if ud have actually done some research instead of twisting the song to your meaning, chris cornell says in an interview that the song is about katrina and the aftermath of said hurricane that ripped through that area, so shut up and enjoy the song and next time make sure u actually know what ur talking about before you open your mouth

[binloved]

ya...bodies floating around for days. It wasn't supposed to be that way "in the great US of A" as we say here in Canada. It broke my heart and faith in "the dream that is the US of A". Canadian government still has the test, so I have no examples for here.

[Dayberry]

Im American and I agree with you 100%

[ERietdyk]

As far as I'm concerned, people still with spiritual beliefs are dead from the neck up.

I agree that Bush was a dumbass, and killed his country, and that some American's are so ignorant, but don't profile so many people because of a few bad apples.

Hating on religion could be called profiling, but there is no logical explanation to be religious. Also, there is no logical explanation to not be. That's why this world would be better agnostic. On the fence. Nobody knows 'til the end.

[diamondnomo]

you cant find the truth with logic if you dont found it without it

[jawa12345678]

here's an idea, how about instead of posting your political views on a music video, you just listen to the great performance. Please don't try to push your faulty ideas on people, especially in such an inappropriate place such as this video

[Mecawally]

@mindyourbeezwax

For your name to be "Mindyourbeezwax" you sure don't.

[Locust775]

haha... I was just thinking that :P

[subcomandantetroncos]

@Spashae i was about to do the same!

[sammy1skates]

@Spashaei its just the shadow stop at  at 0 10

[MrKsizzle]

gets my 5.

[jesmilaz]

increible! buenísima canción, buenísima voz

[theanimal7]

Come on man! He's awesome, he who speaks bad of Cornell, can't talk about music...

[TAkahashiryu]

Foi uma das piores coisas que eu ja tive o desprazer de ouvir em toda a minha vida...

One of the worst things I've ever had the unpleasnant oportunity of seeing...

[Hellingtonbr]

3:26 é o melhor de todos, lindo me emocionei aqui!

[Hellingtonbr]

O que é isso cara? que merda de video, que merda de vocalista, e muito pior como instrumentista, que horror, nojento, chega ate a ferder aqui, que falta de vergonha postar um video desse.What is this guy? that kind of video, that kind of vocalist, and much worse as an instrumentalist, that horror, disgusting, get to the Ferdi here that lack of shame post a video of that.

[JWACOM]

OH YEAH HE CAN SING!!!

[Thedude112123]

He's awesome...

[wayne071079]

The man can still sing

[FullMetalAngel182]

2:45 Pete's completely mesmerised by Cornell.

[Kanga1811]

he definitely looked in awe , and he looked like he didnt want to move an inch in case he messed something up .....i would of been the same

[cloudchaser07]

I wish he takes off that Hitler mustache of his.

[PurushaDesa]

What, Chris Cornell or George Bush?

[cloudchaser07]

lol, very close

[wilsonr92]

Cornell has a fantastic voice!

[buratinho]

does anybody have the original live performance of this song? not acoustic i mean. i haven't found any:(

[MrBenjiMcKinney]

it is on the Revelations Album. It is also on the Unplugged in Sweden album.

[NickGMusic]

this song is freakin' awesome when done acoustically. The Audioslave version is good, but I think if he took this song he wrote and did it with Soundgarden, it would have had just the right feel,...do it Chris!

[lukegladue22]

how the hell can i get this on disk

[peternoutch]

use youtube downloader, and convert it to mp3 format

[Wurup4ik]

Сильно...

[trillicampanello]

This song always get me shiver while listening...

[rustynutta]

Awesome, the mo cracks me up tho, still awesome, no matter what he does

[svenna99]

Who's playing with him?

[highlife12345]

ya, who is he playing with, its sorta killing me.......

[krkgak]

That's Peter Thorn from Run Through the Desert. That is the band Chris has toured with for a few years.

[highlife12345]

Oh. Ty Ty Ty

[highlife12345]

faRking awesome untill ...  3:26, his scream sounds like a child screaming for his bottle.... my god wonder wat happened, i never laffed like that to a song so randomly

[genothelowrider]

Ha, dude, i dont know, "child screaming for his bottle" just seems a little harsh there. I dont think it was that bad!

--Geno tL

[svenna99]

Haha, I didn't notice that, but it actually really sounds like a baby scream =D

[iseeu1980]

Hey, highlife, he's a great singer with a legendary voice, but he's just human. As long as it's done with true passion people respond to it. This is live as well, and he's sitting down.

[Petertunes]

i would be fucking shit scared if my kid sounded like that

[xTylerDurden90x]

LMAO

[gentlemenjack420]

why the hell does he have half a fuckin mustache????!!!??

[WhatsWithWyatt]

Lolol, its chris cornell he does what he wants..

[JoeSidhu]

Botched shaving.

I've done it before.

[TrippinInaBox]

great song.

[Samisis]

divinooooooooooooo! *______*

[sentinella16]

bravissimo!!!

[pxoteiza]

bravo, bravo,

[spay74]

I wish that Audioslave Revalations got more radio play with songs like "Wide Awake" and "Moth" and if they only did another show out here in California, they rockes weay hard at lollapalooza 03 !!!!

[eljack13]

Chris Cornell is simply the best.

[cardboardbox44]

exactly id like to see others do better for 20 years and still be way better than others

[ApeaceLoves]

i love him

but his new album is like cutting off himselfs balls

chris - musik is more than change...

[peterparker3108]

Who the hell are you clowns to criticize Chris Cornell.... ? The man's a legend with 20 years of music behind him... when s all you albumns coming out???

[adarov]

rofl wtf with the mustache

[rickdafrog]

Where u been? He always had a mustache. Check out the pics of Louder than Love and Badmotorfinger.

[adarov]

i mean its half -,-

[timmy2X4]

I see what ya mean... he botched it while shavin or somethin lol

[B66R90]

I actually dont think he sounds that bad at all, except for when he starts to shriek "Wide Awake!" near the end. Compared to his prime, it sounds terrible, but compared to his roughest, it sounds pretty good. Its obvious his voice was still recovering and improving at this time. I like it though.

[TheBrazilianFreak]

his voice sounds terrible :(

not to mention his mustache :(

[xxfrijolxx]

what do you guys think the other guitarist is thinking at 2:46?

[S4n7i6]

he is the one... hahaa just kidding my favourite singer but only in recorded versions, when he sings alive, he really sucks. But his voice is unique. Tom morello 4ever man and anyone who dares saying that tom morello sucks, can suck my dick

[danieluffi]

That guy on the right side looks like the german soccer coach Joachim Loew^^

[Tedsixx]

Chris doing his best... singing!!

[minderfist]

in the butt...

[tommy605]

Best voice in music right now. Saw him live and he's awesome.

[zetakiel888]

why do you whine about the size of your diapers? my opinion about things is not your fucking business alright? so go get a life son.

[lostandwounded]

back in the days cornell yells like bruce Dickinson . glad he changed since superunknown!

[ironeric23]

bruce and chris

the best singers on the planet

[jhonexplold]

Acho uma pena o q ele fez com a música q sem dúvida ficou legal, mas na versão original com o audioslave ficou anos luz na frente.

[Metal199]

So so good.

[wayne071079]

And bruce Dickinson said he was the best rock singer of the last 10 years, which post dates soundgarden !!!

[wayne071079]

He's better than ever. That rasp in his voice gives it character. I think since audioslave, and his sobriety, his songs and voice have been better than ever

[gongabush]

And people call Cobain the best songwriter in the world...

What does that make Chris Cornell? The best in the galaxy??

Awesome talent...

[easyeasy007]

there arent many artists still alive that know what music really IS nemore, just a few, were lucky to have chris, someone who was part of the last real music of the nineties, p.s dont knock his timbaland album hes just having fun he said we all drop dead neways, so i just wana play around with this

[Hofilias]

This is a great version. Cornell isnt even close to what he was with Soundgarden but its still rockin.

[maz1514]

Chris Cornell has got one of the best voices in the world. Awesome singer.

[gurudavec]

Was there any doubt... The best rocker in the buz. No one holds a candle to this voice in the rock and roll buz. Coming to see you in Kamloops on Nov 8 Chris. Wahoo!

[WeedsteRz]

I hope this next album isn't shit like most of Carry On was.

[gcaro88]

wide awake !!! wide awake!!!

five star chris

[chastityjc]

yes it was....

the piont....?

truth being told...

and that door no man can shut.

j

[chastityjc]

amazing...

I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it Rev.3:8

j

[binloved]

actually, pretty recent. I thing Hurricane Katrina was shortly before this song....

[mrexcellent28]

dat was fuckin good

[sivarihomo]

it seems every time chris makes a solo album it ends up being a cheesy pop/rock record. but all his band albums (soundgarden, temple of the dog, audioslave) are absolutely brilliant.

[binloved]

ok, I can't cancel you....I do like "wide awake".

I've seen some nasty things...in this world..have you?

Tell me.

[Muglezz]

Pulsating1988u are right :p

eddie vedder plus Chris, o my lord it doesnt exist :o

[nikocubano]

Chris Cornell is the best singer and Audioslave the best band!

[Pulsating1988]

this guy is a god

he sung with eddie vedder in temple of the dog

eddie vedder greatest musician ever :D

[chastityjc]

his early days have it on my sation.

j

[kain6907]

this has a doors sound to it. Fucking badass lyrics also

[TANKE777]

he is making it up as he goes!!!, really he mumbles

[Reddvoice]

Nah. This is an acoustic version of a song on Audioslave's "Revelations" album... The mumbling thing is just his style. His awesome style.

[M3lloW55]

chris cornells next album is produced by timberland.thats fuckin brutal. Chris Cornell you suck.he used to be a somebody now your a nobody

[ironeric23]

and who aore u?

[marshallamps24]

you 're fuckin right dude... he sucks for doing this to us and eberybody who says he's cool with cornell's recent stuff never really liked his music...

[jasonbear72]

Hey my cat is missing anyone know where the little fella went?

[AudioslaveGuitar]

is there an mp3 for this?

[TabooDrums]

Down on the road the world is floating by

The poor and undefended left behind

While your somewhere trading lives for oil

as if the whole world were blind

[binloved]

Here here....

[rayndgr8]

the government must stop ignorance and must implement real democracy...they must give our freedom back...

maybe that was cornell meant..

[superunknown70]

hmmm, not sure that is the purpose or responsibility of government. i think it is up to each of us, individually, to stop ignorance.

[superunknown70]

p.s. if we want our freedom back we will probably have to take it as it is always nearly impossible to get those who have control to just give it up willingly. just a thought

[thrasherpablo]

tab ????? :D

[katt0150138]

whats up with his stache, did he forget to shave the other side? Was it a dare?

[Mox101]

i fuckin lov this song!

anyone know the tabs to this song??

[Grespano]

just look his hands. Looks like intro: Dm, Dm/F, Dm/E, Dm I think he tuned his guitar different. anyway.. Dm, F, Dm Dm, F, Dm Dm, Bb, Dm Dm, Bb, Dm, A4, A refrain: Dm, F, Bb, Dm, C Final: A(i find you guilty of a crime..) Dm, C, Bb, Dm, C Dm, F, Bb, Dm, C

[rayndgr8]

and drop d

[sfan09]

greatest singer songwriter alive today....

[Akhyilesh]

Deadset Legend

[Akhyilesh]

Deadset Legend

[Z0NIAX]

Chris Cornell is a great performer. I wish he'd release an acoustic album with songs like this. I saw Audioslave live in Toronto, his solo/acoustic performance of Black Hole Sun was worth the ticket price alone.

[mdoyle330]

he has released an acoustic solo album...he recorded it in sweden..

[Z0NIAX]

mdoyle, I discovered this like 5 minutes after I posted. Thanks though!

[toadsnmarshmellows]

nice!

[EBAYTRAVIS]

one of the best songs from revelations. i wish audioslave was still together.

[onlytheawesomest]

i don't. i wish soundgarden wa still together tho

[link1184]

soundgarden and audioslave where 2 completley diffrent types of rock, soundgarden was grunge and audioslave was more alternative and more laid back...

im personally more intentive on audioslave

but as for this performance this was amazing

Chris has really gotten his act together and started to make amazing music again.

[onlytheawesomest]

great

[AudioSlaved321]

I don't wish any of them were together anymore. I'm enjoying Cornell on his own. :]

[onlytheawesomest]

yea i know what u mean
