I am so sorry this guy might sound a tad like cornell on the low end of the vocal range, but damn this song is really lame, Cornell would never right a song that is so generic, this song is butt rock.
It's actually not Chris Cornell, his name is Johnny Strong. He's a pt actor that has appeared in Black Hawk Down and The Fast and The Furious. Crazzzzzy how he sounds just like Chris, fooled me too!
Great song! The vid was pretty awesome, nice filters&effects. I was afraid to watch the dirty version after seeing the clean one. lol I love the tempo-change and vocals, it's almost like 2 songs in 1 b/c they go from super-intense to beautifully-sung vocals... Really great post-editing and voice-overs/transitions & mixing!!! Like watching a mini-movie or a movie-trailer... COOL!
okay there is a difference from influence and rip-off. Influence is when u are inspired to create something original. Rip-off is when u Leech off of someone else's Vibe and become famous by sounding just like that guy (cris cornell). just my opinion take it or leave it.
I remember the frist time i heard this song on the radio i was like. "is that chris cornell? He sounds slightly less chris, but still amazing" then come to find out, its not chris, and i was amazed that there was someone out there with his voice.
Also, the Cornell/Dio thing is pretty accurate. When he's doing the croon, he sounds like Cornell, but he screams like Dio. From what I can tell, hes still not a completely good Cornell imitator because I don't think he has the huge range. If this band has a song of him wailing like Cornell on those high notes, could someone link me? If he can, that'd make him complete.
People are idiots. Mimicking Chris Cornell is not the same as mimicking Eddie Vedder or Kurt Cobain. Sure, Cobain and Vedder were unique sounding, but they weren't unmockable. For Vedder, all it took was a guy with a deep sounding voice. Mimicking Cornell isn't the same because it's almost fucking impossible. The guy has like a four octave range. You don't find someone like that in every bar. If anyone is capable of doing it, I say more power to them.
@khm5150 lol it's funny that people argue whether or not he sounds like cornell. To say that he sounds like a cross between Cornell and Dio is perfect.
Instead of bagging on Johnny Strong for "copying" Chris Cornell, how about we give the dude some props for having a great voice. And the band is just awesome
Their lead singer, Johnny Strong, is also a MMA fighter, and appeared in the movie Black Hawk Down. In the movie, he played a Special Forces Delta Operator, which is in part how they got their band name
I've only got the el-cheapo headphones at work. This needs to be heard on a high end system. There's some sweet layering happening there with the guitar/synths at the end of the intro, around 0:42-0:50
This has been flagged as spam show
The music of the slow part in the middle of the song sounds like something Everlast would do.
