computers should have a built in gun so when some stupid cunt gives a thumb down to a chris cornell acoustic video they receive a bullet straight to the brain.
I've just put a video up with my version of this great song. Chris Cornell has always been a massive musical influence on me so i thought i'd give it a go. Click on my name and let me know what you think. Good or bad.
I always thought Chris Cornell had an amazing voice and was maybe along with Eddie Vedder the best singers of that 90's movement. But this performance puts him in that elite amazing top 10-15 all time rock singers. He seems like a douche though.
It's not just that he hits those notes...that's amazing in and of itself...but it's that it seems so effortless when he does it that's truly mind-boggling..
this man has one of the greatest voices ever.. he has no highest note.. almost seems like he could go on forever.. just an amazing talent.. keep rockin chris
The master of vocals sir Chris Cornell, what a talent, the voice comes from the lungs then it' s so specific tone in the throat, thus yielding an indescribable pleasure for the earth, what a complicated machine is CC, the power from lungs, the beauty in the throat
i love that man, his voice is so fucking incredible, his job is great and i do like a lot of the songs on the scream record, he just wanted to do something different, he i's also working on something for Slash's next album btw
I wish I had Chris Cornell's vocals... Well, maybe his vocals from about 10-15 years ago. He still does well, but I prefer his older stuff. Don't hate me for saying this, but I actually do like some of his newer stuff (Timberland not so much), and I'll always love his Soundgarden/Audioslave years.
Also, let the man be as he is, not many musicians would wander off from their original musical styles to try other things. He's doing well, so let's at least respect that.
This is an acoustic solo performance. It's like 10bpm faster. Dude wrote the song, and this is his solo rendition. Lol @ telling someone that in your opinion they played their own song incorrectly.
i saw him 2 years ago solo, and he took the song way slower and i loved it, but can't find it anywhere. just because someone writes and performs a song does not mean that you can't have an opinion about anything. Oh and strong week old bump, U mad?
The only one mad would be you because you can't find your precious version. You can have an opinion on his work if you'd like as everyone is entitled, but you aren't the artist or even remotely musically inclined so it's irrelevant. He arranged it this way for a reason. He's even stated that he prefers it this way. lolumad?
The problem is you're focusing on the things in life that don't really matter. When I was a kid I had hopes and dreams. We all did. But over time, the daily grind gets in the way and you miss the things that really matter, even though they are right in front of you, staring you in the face. I think the next time you should ask yourself "Am I on the right track here?". I don't mean to be rude but people like you I really pity.
@enderx420 It's possible to play your own songs wrong. Live performers do it all the time. Dragonforce is a great example of guys who can't play their own songs live.
he made his way in2 the spotlight with soundgarden ...then the fans just carried over 2 audioslave ...cuz it was more badass cornell vocals and tom morello 2 bak him up....what hes done now is just disgraceful tho! .,...TIMBA-FUCKIN-LAND r u kidding me!???
Masterbat.. do you have a cd that's better? Are you a recording artist? Or do you just like to get on youtube and spout off with your bad spelling, bad language and your uneducated opinion?
man fuck you! i have a right like everyone else to state my opinion ...just like everyone else does on this fucking comment box in youtube ! who do you think you are to just cut down a single comment out of all the youtube comments!
@BrixSnBs I was actually defending Cornell. It's real easy to sit at your computer desk and rip on an artist. If you don't like what he's doing now....don't buy it. But why litter youtube with idiotic meaningless comments. That's all I'm saying.
I agree with you about the Timberland crap, but I love what Cornell can do with his vocals at this stage in his career. Ill bet some of the songs on the new album will be good when he strips them down to accoustic like this is.
chris cornell is a amazing singer since sound garden and temple of the dog he is awesome. and the key songs of his that gets under my skin is this song and his song orginal fire. i understand about pain and bit about love and i know what he does is mainly for the fans and what he loves but the lyrics make me think of the ones i love and how to ensure my dreams as a writer though. music heals the soul through thick or thin music rehabilates my soul so know i'm just as human as you all
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
hes good and all but i dont think hes anything without morello, wilks and commerford. Never even knew he had a solo career. Didnt even know the name cornell until it was accompanied by audioslave. Still hes good, just not better
So f*king good...absolutely amazing. And totally agree on his ability as a great vocalist. Tom Morello on the guitar is all fabulous and good, but this gives me the chills.
m comparing both during their primes eddy wasnt good in just ten! ive seen corneII doing worse during his bad days, corneII infact became better with time, he used to be often fIat during the starting of the soundgarden days,,, again thats just personaI opinion, to teII you the truth I thought ur kidding when you said eddy vedder Iacks range
Why do people have to always compare singers. Vedder is a fantastic singer. Cornell too. Why did you feel sorry for Vedder.....he sang what he had to do with TOTD perfectly?
What is so amazing about Cornell is that there is so much emotion in his voice. Notice how he sings this song deliberately flat to convey the sadness. He is a good singer in technique but an even greater one in musicianship. Cornell and Scott Weiland are the two rock musicians that stand out to me in this respect, the latter more so for his songwriting.
ECOOL76 lenny5..he just wanted to try something he never had before..i guess he doesnt think in terms of musical direction..just as another flavour for him...it's easy to get bored doing same stuff and same way...his decisions proves he's a mature artist and has a distance to himself, still looking for something new...
i'm not into hiphop but timbaland has hughe abbilities as a producer...sorry for bad english anyway regards
So true lenny5. Ive heard 3 of his new songs and they are pure shit. Ive loved everything in his career:Soundgarden,Audioslave, and his 2 solo cds. Its so hard to believe that he teamed up with that timberland guy.
not gonna lie i've been on the STP/weiland train for a few years but cornell definately has my praises... its all about opinion big guy otherwise it makes u look ignorant but this is definately a guy to put in the category. what year was this?
The full line is "I will pray to gods and angels", he also mentions praying to pagans. its not about him becoming yet another christfag, he's just praying due to his desperate situation in the narrative of the song. not everything has to be jesus flavoured....
did you say "christfag"?. man, thats a bold statement. he is the only way to this heaven he speaks of. that is blasphemy. learn about it, before you make that mistake. don't speak out of ignorance
There's nothing bold about it, God does not exist so his imaginary wrath/judgement holds no sway over me. feel free to say "of course he's real, it's all written in this book here.", but frankly you're fooling no one. want religion? that's fine, just don't try to convert every other person, most these days are too enlightened to live in fear of the great and terrible old man in the sky.
He may be using religous symbolism but not in a positive manner. The same can be said for most of his career. Often as in this case, Cornell presents religion as a desperate and ultimately futile attempt to find peace. If you still think Chris is a jesus nut, then why don't you do some research and look up a song called "Blind dogs" which should leave you with no delusions about his perspectives.

There's nothing bold about it, God does not exist so his imaginary wrath/judgement holds no sway over me. feel free to say "of course he's real, it's all written in this book here.", but frankly you're fooling no one. want religion? that's fine, just don't try to convert every other person, most these days are too enlightened to live in fear of the great and terrible old man in the sky.

Though I support your point here, you must admit that general matter did not just appear out of nothing--which is in itself something.
We as humans cannot grasp the concept of our creation.
Just go on your way, and be happy while you can.

He may be using religous symbolism but not in a positive manner. The same can be said for most of his career. Often as in this case, Cornell presents religion as a desperate and ultimately futile attempt to find peace. If you still think Chris is a jesus nut, then why don't you do some research and look up a song called "Blind dogs" which should leave you with no delusions about his perspectives.

I wouldn't say it's negative or futile in any sense.

thats a song mainly about Halloween right? didn't realise there were any christian references in it.

Ah not really IMO anyway.
From Blind dogs:
"The safe bet is on your knees
Bow your head to the Trinity
That's what the blind dogs believe"
Doesn't get much clearer than that. There can be little doubt that "on your knees" and the "trinity" refer to christianity.
