  • Sorry, I prefer his long hair. It suits him better IMO.

  • this song is about total depression and the sun to implode and cause a black hole and kill the evil earth :)

  • this is my favourite version of this song :)

  • " Black Hole Sun Won't you come

    and Wash away the rain "

    this song is awesome.

  • he is fine!!

  • did chris write this on guitar or did kim from soundgarden?

  • chris did,

    "Black Hole Sun" was written by frontman Chris Cornell. Cornell said that he wrote the song in about 15 minutes.He used a Gretsch guitar to write the song, and commented, "I wrote the song thinking the band wouldn't like it—then it became the biggest hit of the summer."

  • what model guitar is he using? Some Martin?

  • @yo8888 this is Martin 000C-16RGTE Aura

  • prefiro exaltasamba

  • Então vai exaltasambar na puta que o pariu

  • to ligado q vc tbm curte :D

  • chris cornell is a great lyricist, vocalist and composer. overall a great musician. the words and melodies he uses are always killer; not too many ppl in d rock scene r built like dis.

  • Sapete dirmi più o meno che anno era?Per favore!

  • so how did this guy and tom morello not make magic?

    i would have lost a fortune on that bet?

  • What are you talking about? They did make magic lol

  • luv soundgarden,

    luv RATM,

    Audioslave... not so much.

  • totally agree.

    you would have thought that they would have been the best band ever!

  • are you joking?

  • Very nice :)

  • black hole sun..wont you wash away my "pain".........or rain..by blind melon...

  • Chris! Wont u come???

  • lol

  • hollow earth

  • Go Christopher ... one day I'll be as good as you ... you know I'm close :-)) On a serious note ... NO I'm nowhere near you! For you are the king vocalist and will probably always be man ... yeah! Big thanks to the person that posted this vid!! Merry Christmas!!

  • well i for one have always thought kurt would have stayed relevent much like neil young. who was the original grunge master. he was only 27 and look at his legacy. i think he would have had some things to say about today. and great version of black hole sun btw.

  • It's snowing here/and she died yesterday..

  • when people mourn kurts death i think it was horrible to, but if you think about it, he died in their prime. if he was still alive today he wouldnt have left as much as an impact when they finaly ended.

  • i think this is a wonderfull version i like it better i dont like original that much

  • mmmmm, love that acustic vesion, but I prefer that one on the superunknown album

  • yes nnice hair, very sexy

  • love him

  • man, this song brings back really good memories,. back when things were chill..

  • "grunge" isnt gonna come back that was a moment in time that has passed other genres will come along but they will not be grunge

  • it's like Metallica song: "Sad but true"... ... sadly you're right... but amazing groups like Nirvana, Soundgarden, STP and other left us a great legacy... ...

  • Grunge was awesome, my band loves that kind of music so hopefully we will bring back some form of grunge / old school rock n roll vibes / don't give a shit attitude :).

  • grunge has come back, its startin again, in NYC and JERSEY there are 6 bands i know of... grunge will come around wenever there are sucky genres

    (hair metal) and now (emo, screamo)

  • i hope your right hehe. the music today sucks.

  • I hope you are right too. I mean, music today just isn't as good as it used to be. There are a couple good bands around here and there, but most of them have members from bands in the 90's. For example, The Foo Fighters.

  • then you have bands that WERE around int the 90's, that suck today. lol. For example, Metallica.

    oh- side note: its just "Foo Fighters" not "the Foo Fighters". ;)

  • yea metallica in this days its bullshit

  • you obviously have no taste in music. death magnetic was a good cd. it was like the old times of metallica. but mop(master of puppets) was their best.

  • I have great taste in music. I just don't like the new Metallica. I love old Metallica though,like Load or Master of Puppets. But Death Magnetic isn't that good really. But then again I never really liked alot of the mainstream stuff which Death Magnetic has become to alot of 12 year olds. I prefer the bands and songs people haven't heard of.

  • to be honest, one of the only songs i like on death magnetic is all nightmare

  • long

  • man, you're saying you like old metallica, and you name load? load is not old metallica, RTL is old metallica, MOP is old metallica, AJFA is old metallica, old metallica ends at the black album, sorry to tell you that

  • totally man, the Black album was definatly the official sell-out for metallica, metallica just plain sucks now :(

  • @acdcman900 technically Metallica stopped being FTW right before the black album.

  • RIP GRUNGE

  • Ryoubreathing/Wicked Sea kid. Saying the only proof I have is credits just dominated me. I mean the fact that the band and label agreed that x members composed x songs and own the copyrights to said songs proves nothing. Listening to side projects of the members of a band and comparing tones and writing styles also is just an assumption. The only way you can know is to be at all of the band's practices with a video recorder. Hell, Chris Cornell even wrote all of the Beatles songs!

  • thats a true musician, if you can play your old songs with a smile

  • fuck u, taylors r way better, but lowdins r the best :D (in my opinion)

  • Taylor guitars have a tinny sound. Run strings across a soda can and you get Taylor sound.

  • apparently the taylor u played was really crappy, every tayler ive played has deep rich awseome sound, at least from my experience, and ive only played what, like 10 taylors, but dont get me wrong martins are nice too

  • Hell yea Martins the shit!

  • amen

  • Chris Cornell sure wrote some cool songs for Soundgarden though Ben Shepherd wrote the coolest one, "Half".

  • My personal favorite SG song would have to be fresh tendrils, but everyone has their own opinion

  • not the police,...wasn't it Elton John??

    Yeah,...must have been Elton...!!

    ;-)

  • This song is great, he's such a good singer.

  • Actually no he didn't, retard. Why don't you take a Soundgarden cd if you even have one, open it up, and take a look at the song credits. The band broke up because of creative differences. If Chris was doing all the writing there wouldn't be any differences. Listen to Chis solo or Chris with Audioslave. It doesn't sound like Soundgarden because it's not. Without those other members, which you can't even name, Chris wouldn't be where he is today.

  • if chris was doing all the writing, the rest of the band could be like wtf, let me write something, or fuck that i dont like that, or stuff like that, and that is considerd creative difrences.

    a person can write two differnt songs, and one could be fucking heavy as shit, about death and goar, and the other could be soft and about love, its been done before, and will be done again.

    the only proof you have is the credits, the rest is stupid bullshit that you assume

  • Ben Sheppard did write some of the lyrics dude. Seriously, its not all Chris Cornell. Bet you didn't even know Thayil created the band. Seriously, don't be so quick to jump down pplz throats (and I mean both of you). Name calling is not needed.

  • on wikipedia it says he wrote this song and loads of others

  • Saying Chris wrote every Soundgarden song by himself is an exaggeration.

  • Actually lol he did besides 1 lol preaching the end of the world xD

  • wasnt that song a solo song of his?

  • damn straight mochibrown you knows it!!

  • chris cornell is one of the greatest artists to walk this planet, BOW before him.

  • Both Are the Shit

  • we're all entitled to our own opinions. In my opinion, your's sux

  • i totally agree with you, even though i'm a huge fan in terms of what he writes about, and how he writes about it. still he's clearly tired of people just wanting the one song out of him, when there's so much more to his body of work. he's definitely not digging this song right now!

  • audioslave sucks soundgarden rules :)

  • dude i love audioslave and soundgarden but i have to admit soundgarden was alot better and is my favorite band

  • guitar is a Martin right?

  • kinda looks like it but i dont know for sure

  • awesome vid. thanksss

  • cornells lyrics and raw power/emotion make him the best artist of the 90s im gonna have to say it. love nirvana, pearl ham, NIN, the whole deal but cornell is just a fuckin genius poet of a musician and hes still fuckin

    rockin!

  • And he lives and compose many good songs

  • also, the fact that chris is still singing SG songs with audioslave frankly pisses me off. im sure Kim helped him write the shit he's playing, and even if Kim said it was cool with him for chris to play the songs, chris shouldn't out of respect.

  • You know if you read the booklets in Soundgarden albums, it says who wrote was involved in the writing of each song. All the songs Cornell sings in his solo band now and with Audioslave before are the ones he wrote himself.

  • gonna have to disagree with a lot of things you said. and btw audioslave broke up cause chris wanted ratm to reunite which happened. 2nd thing soundgarden had good band members but chris wrote every song by himself, and the reason he broke up the band, wasnt cause he though he could do better,was cause he wanted to spend time with his family.2nd thing is this song is mocking the surreal life of america. and 3rd thing is TONS OF songs have no meaning like rap for instance, example, i shot a n*gga

  • nicely spoken. Seems you know what you are talkin about.

  • where did you get your info regarding chris wanting rage to get back together? the reason i ask is because the lyrics to cochise sound like he's subconsciously saying that he wants just that. even though i know it's suppose to be about something else, i cant help but think about it when i hear the song. "Go and save yourself Take it out on me"

  • @danielashtiani don't really agree with all your points except for the 2nd one about the point of the song, and you're a fuckin idiot about the rap part period.

  • @danielashtiani the song isn't really about america specifically as political

    don't forget RATM was rap as well.

  • @thettruest Nope, he is referring to the themes of rap, RATM had themes, hip hop started with being THEMED about fighting subjugation, now most of it is a marketing thing about biacthes drugs and murder, Rap that has these themes is what was refereed too, look past your nose buddy

  • @danielashtiani Yeah soundgarden is back together now too, I know this comment is 2 years old but oh well. Plus I heard the main reason was alot of tension between the band members as well.

  • @danielashtiani fuck a well thought out comment on youtube. Someone better tell chicken licken the skies falling down :/

  • @danielashtiani audioslave is not broken up

  • @wsl3docmob yeah they are. i take it you've been living under a rock?

  • Chris does kicks some serious ass, but I think Trent Reznor is an better artist :)

  • grande cornell

    el loko k dice k kurt es el presidente

    se ekivoka layne si te creo pero kurt no pasa

    na

    el mejor vocalista sin dudas chris cornell

    aparte de eddie vedder

  • wow! this song is killing me....

  • Kereen Abiss...!!! It means very very cool..He is a powerful man...Someday he'll become a president of...grunge country.!!!

  • the president of grunge is already dead and that was kurt cobain...R.I.P.

  • Kurt was the president but Cornell won the next election... :)

  • lol :P nice one

  • @sobmedia cornell was the real ruler behind the throne, now he is on it

  • @sobmedia

    Wake up.. While he had his moments, Cobain was nowhere near the musician Cornell is.

  • @bigsurlyt i agree w/u that he is a much better musician than cobain but kurt has somthing special about him that is just his style that makes him just as good as cornell imo but ethier way both are great

  • chris cornell is a legend

  • kudos jordan.. he is indeed a legend....

  • He is a legend and he lives. So he can compose many good songs with passion and emotion.

    Chris Cornell+Soundgarden+Audioslave are great

  • Black hole sun won't you come

    And bring Audioslave back

    Black hole sun won't you come won't you come!!!

  • wow love sgarden!!! (audioslave too)

    great song

  • Me too! They're both great!!!

  • Perfeito

    =]

  • the first time i heard his voice i was totally blown away i never heard a voice like this before he has really a great gift from god and he knows how to use it right!this is the greatest voice of all time!

  • chriss cornell en chile!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Beautiful...the man is gifted with the VOICE..

  • This is the best song, that i've heard YEAH!!!! keep rocking CHRIS.

  • by far my favourite chris cornell live video ... this is a flawless performance full of emotion and every time I watch it my heart fultters, he's an amazing singer and I hope he's around to make great music for many years to come

  • This is out of the planet...

  • the person keeping grunge alive

  • beautiful, beautiful..

  • The best singer in rock

  • Great song, chris cornell is a monster of rock

  • I think it would have been cool if this song was done by the whole band. Imagine the crazy lead guitar Tom Morello could do!

  • Amem

  • nice

  • it is drop D. That is std tuning with the E string "dropped" to D. You know I havent found a decent tab of this anywhere on the net! Had to watch one of his un plugged sesions, i think it was yahoo where the camera pretty much shows you how he does it. We play now it, only because of that video on here! Thanks Youtube!!!

  • soundgarden did it in drop D tuning. Chris is playing here in standard tuning.

  • the rest of the guitar might be std tuning but his E string is tuned to D. You can see it as well as hear it...

  • ok yea i take that back. i hadnt actually seen the video. usually for a single guitar arrangement, one can do a standard tuning version. chris chose to play the lower arpeggios only for the whole song. pretty cool.

  • Mike Patton has way better vocals than Cornell and Maynard together

  • jasonbear72...you're an ass.

  • doomwhore: drop d

    got this on dvd, don't like it when he did RATM covers lol

  • Sorry for my english, but is "Black hole sun" no "Blackhole sun". Great song, i saw Cornell live!! Yeah!!

  • You can't compare Cornell and Maynard because they have two different vocal textures. If you want to say who has hit the highest note, then that vote goes to Chris Cornell in his prime during the mid-80s - very early 90s (90/91). He also has a greater ability to project notes and carry them for longer periods of time. You can't compare beyond that though. You can't say a tenor is better than a soprano, only that one can sing higher than the other.

  • No.

  • any idea what tuning he's using?

  • sounds like drop d tuning

  • Chris Cornell is definately the new Michael Bolton. He could sing the f*ck out of "When a Man Loves a Woman!" I mean, I can already hear it. Hahahaa!  I think we've lost that guy. Gone.

  • Oh boy that was funny. Is he now a no talent ass clown? I wonder? Very talented musician. Oh bye the way michael bolton is the reason for soundgarden and chris cornells existance. He(bolton) and david Hasselhoff were the sole motivation for all of soundgarden and chris cornell's music. Oh dont want to forget stevie ray Vaughn also imitiated Michael Bolton. Jason LOL

  • are you some sort of idiot

  • oh my god.. how can u even mention those fuckin assholes and comparing them to chris cornell and soundgarden.. man messed up.. just be quiet and dont talk about things u dont understand

  • que bueno!!! cornell es el puto amo!

  • I can see in his eyes that he is confused. I bet something is haunting him.

  • kim thayil beats him with a stick after all the songs chris butchers of his.

  • not really the best singing of his

  • Un himno que temazo papa vengan a la argentina

  • i bet he was missing thayill during that solo..

  • senza parole...........

  • sound a little bit false...

  • Without words!!!

  • In the words of Chris Cornell in Black Hole Sun..."No one sings like you anymore"

    - AMEN

  • Wonderful music

  • does anybody else think its crazy that this has been favorited 666 times?
