It’s so crazy that you can literally look in his eyes and see something is on his mind.... this man made great music. I hated he left this earth to soon. Rest In Peace Mr. Chris Cornell.
I was lucky to experience this show live from the front row at the time. I was 19 years old then and now I'm almost 40. At that time the song touched me, today I understand and feel it.❤ R.I.P Chris
Glad you got to see AudioSlave live. In my humble opinion Soundgarden was better, saw them twice live. Nevertheless, I think we agree, RIP Chris, the greates rock singer of at least the last 35 years.
This song, and Chris Cornell’s voice has helped me through actual combat, PTSD, bad days hence, and good days. There are many good songs, but this one is my favorite. I love you, Chris. We all love you.
I know...the pain in his eyes is so poignant ,so conveyed in this performance...And I mourn him still, always will....beautiful human being , plain and simple ..😎✌😢😢😢💙
I liked this live version more than the studio song, he played with all his heart and that is something he transmited RIP Cornell, you were not alone, and we will miss you forever
He's about as handsome as anyone can be. His talent was from working hard, however. He would sing everyday and practice music with his buddies. Chris was intent on making it to the top.
Na, both are equally good. I like the variations sometimes - other times bands ruin their own songs. This one, is good both methods. And that's great when experimentation succeeds that way. I think it's how you know you have a great song - you can sing it almost any way and it's still good to listen to.
Imo it was His Depression screaming & some get to that dark place & if he was caring & I'd say he probably was it might just have gotten to him to a even darker place he might not known how to deal with despite having so much love around so it can happen to anyone & if anyone feels like that place pls seek help and know ur Loved and you Can find ur way though it. ✌ & 💜
Haunted look in his eyes. I guess he grew tired of fighting the demons, but in the end it's all about how much warmth you leave behind. And your embers are still burning in our hearts. Thank you for the music Chris.
Demons can't be "fought" when they aren't of your own creation. Not always. Sometimes they're external people whom hold some sort of something over your head. It's the pressure people cave under - and if they don't, they're crushed by it if some external force is bearing down on them.
Sometimes, just sometimes all that pressure exerted on you turns your carbon form into a diamond. And that’s what this man did. With this song, especially. Diamond is one of the sharpest hardest substances on earth created from great pressure. And this song cuts right to the heart and moves. The soul urges the soul it stirs the soul. I was 20 in 1990 and I am 52 today. At the time I wasn’t interested in this music except in general passing. Today though. Today I heard this song on the radio and could not breathe. Could not take one more breath had to pull off the road and listen to it over and over because it was calling my name, stirring something amazing in me vibrant and alive. Thank you Chris thank you for sharing your diamond heart with all of us.
I am going through some struggles rn. This performance almost brought me to tears, i was holding them back. I feel like i felt his soul and it spoke to mine.
CHRIS SORTAIT POURTANT DE DÉSINTOX... MAIS LA DÉPRESSION ÉTAIT PLUS FORTE, COMME SOUVENT... POURTANT IL A FAIT TANT DE BELLES CHOSES DANS SA VIE !!! IL A VÉCU TROP VITE, PEUT-ÊTRE ET IL EST PARTI TROP JEUNE. IL ME MANQUE BEAUCOUP, SA VOIX, SON SOURIRE, SES YEUX... SI TRISTES SOUVENT. SOIS HEUREUX LÀ OÙ TU TE TROUVES CHRIS ET JE NE T OUBLIERAI JAMAIS. Cathie.
I'm 62 years old. Chris Cornell has become to me the Greatest Songwriter, composer etc. Above All my previous Rock Gods. Soundgarden and AudioSlave should be Proud of their accomplishments. They're Very Awesome!!!
I love this song almost more then life itself but to call him the greatest songwriter/composer ever is very bold. I'm sorry he just isn't. Hes prob top 50. He is however one of best singers/frontmen in rock history.
@@Skierpunk1027 Oh I agree actually. Its mainly his voice. He did write all these songs tho. His 4 octave range is pretty rare. Who has more range? Also, the fact he had personal issues, somehow makes me love him more. So tragic!
In my opinion, the best solo of this song from Morello was in: Live At Montreux Jazz Festival 2005. you can listen in this link in minute 27:30 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Gji-4mlzpT0.html
I keep coming to watch this play by Tom. Its amazing how Chris and Tom so effortlessly transition from one vocal masterpiece to another with the strings.
i don't know how to explain it....it just looks like your best friend singing his guts out, and it gives you chills to watch it. -fan of kickass music.
me too,so strange.Loved him so much since back in the day.No more tears,that is hard....wtf happened?His choice and then that is all.....fcking prescription death syndrome.
Chris looks so good here, you see and feel His vulnerability, His sensitive side He was so Beautiful a beautiful soul!! Always loved the lyrics of this song & the meaning behind it ❤️. R.I.P.
Currently quarantined in Detroit Mi, one of the biggest hot spots in the country for Covid-19 and listening to Chris is really helping me get through this. Listening to him live on my TV every night is like seeing him in concert all over again. RIP to the greatest voice in rock and roll.
For a long time I didn't know who the man was behind the songs I loved so much! Then I saw a picture of him on a friends fb with long curly hair and beautiful eyes! Why do all the good ones die young? Your voice lives on for me with my favorite ring tones like I am the Highway currently.
People Who Dislike This Performance: U can tell Chris is giving everything he's got to make this song. This dude is tired, he's sweaty, vocal chords worn TFO, but he is going to make those notes, whatever it takes. Total respect. Fucking nails it. Go to hell haters.
Christopher lyons you hit the nail on the head, big C. i've never seen or heard a better male vocalist. talk about "leaving it all out on the floor" - this is that.
Christopher lyons having just watched this performance again, i'd give your original comment another thumbs up if i could. Not only are the writing, melody and Cornell's voice all beautiful....the man pouring his exhausted road-weary soul and vocal chords into every syllable just sends it to the rarified air of truly amazing live performances.
Almost 28, found out about ur music 4-5 years ago. You are the man, top singer/artist all time. This is my favorite song, "I am the highway," gets me going every time!! Thank you for that.... Rest In Peace Chris Cornell 52 years old
The loss of Kurt, Bradley, Scott, Layne, Chester, Dimebag, Shannon, and many other 90’s Legends were taken way before their time. #RIPLEGENDS Thank you for producing 90’s grunge in which is the only music I listen to. 🤘🏼🇺🇸
This is so heart breaking.. I grew up listening to Soundgarden and Audioslave and I've been binge watching old live performances wishing I could have gotten a chance to see him live... RIP Chris 💔
Same here. Growing up him and Layne Staley were my favorites. Out of all of my favorite singers only one is alive now....doubt I'll ever get to see him live either.
Same here and I’ve watched it and like a stone and other Audioslave songs and this guy might have been the best singer/songwriter ever ......that goes to show you even some people who are a genius still have demons and every day it takes effort just to start the day you sometime feel like you are suffocating from anxiety, depression, addiction, whatever. Trust me I get the music and I have been all of thee above. We lost a great one when he passed and if there is a heaven he got his wish. RIP Mr. Cornell
One of his great works next to audioslave that left us this great rock and grunge... Great chris cornell you left us but your music, your works will continue with us We will never forget you dear friend. Thank you for your songs.
The emptiness cannot be explained, it is just felt. There is no guilt, there is no cause. It's inside you, about not fitting into the system, it gets stuck, you don't understand. I think there is a lack of strength to compete, to collaborate, to absorb. It's undermining... RIP Chris.
LYRICS: Pearls and swine bereft of me Long and weary my road has been I was lost in the cities Alone in the hills No sorrow or pity For leaving I feel I am not your rolling wheels I am the highway I am not your carpet ride I am the sky Friends and liars Don't wait for me Cause I'll get on All by myself I put millions of miles Under my heels And still too close to you I feel I am not your rolling wheels I am the highway I am not your carpet ride I am the sky I am not your blowing wind I am the lightning I am not your autumn moon I am the night The night
The pain in his eyes oohh my goodness!! Chris is such a beautiful talented soul I miss him sooo much 😇 R.I.P. CHRIS CORNELL ♥️🤘All these beautiful talented people died it breaks my heart 💔 I'm just so happy we can watch these videos, thank you for sharing!!
@@mr.knowitsrightright2129 He wrote this before things got out of hand. He was depressed and this was a coincidence and nothing less. You can find self death lyrics in tons of peoples songs.
Beautiful Legend , Chris - We miss you - it’s over three years you are gone & there is even a deeper sadness in this world without you. This is my favorite video of you - showing your pure talent , beauty , 100% heart & soul touching voice. Love you ♥️🌹🌺🌹
i could listen to and watch this specific performance over and over again and never tire of it, but there is only so much one can weep before the tears begin to sting. It's one of the most beautiful things ever, yet now so heartbreaking. But I guess we all have to say hello to heaven some time... Fairwell Chris.
I dont even know what to write. Chris Cornell spoke for so many of us going through issues with mental health or self confidence. He was an advocate for the weak and misguided. He inspired so many of us to reach out and explore the possibilities of our dreams and wishes. To be better humans than we though we were capable of being. I for one will always have his music and message be a part of my life and my sons life. Im just upset that he could not beat his own demons or didnt have that person in his life that gave him the same inspiration. RIP Chris Cornell you are Legend. Brother we love you and your Ohana.
Dan Hobbs... He loved those kids. I hope you never find yourself in a situation where you temporarily don't have a hold of your mental faculties. Because if you do, and your mind tells you you have to escape, like his did that night, people will sit around and judge you just like you're doing to him. I won't, though, because I understand what it feels like. I always swore I would never leave my kids like that, and that suicide was only for the selfish. But that was before I got educated in a very real way when I had -- out of the blue -- no warning -- sudden suicidal ideations. For weeks. Never happened before. All of a sudden I was incapable of even thinking of how it would crush them. My thoughts went instead to which rafter in the basement would hold the rope the best. No shit. And it was terrifying. I only got through it because of my husband watching me constantly and my God coming through for me as well. Oh, and btw, it was Ativan that caused it in me. I have since quit it, and despite what it did to me, and what I believe it did to him, I still crave it most days. He was not in his right mind that night and while I'm only speculating, I think Chris would absolutely take it back if he could. Best wishes to you. Not trying to be confrontational; just trying to explain a little something.
You'll not see ever again close to him. It's not just at the time he's before and forever after the best voice entered in this world luckily at the same time when we walk the earth
Love this song the look on Chris face looks like he actually understood his lyrics deeper then ever how profound and sad it is to be truly alone in the universe when we only seek our other half
I don't know how other people let you slide on this for so long bro no he was not the drummer for Soundgarden he was the lead singer for Soundgarden at least you had the band right!👍 R.I.P Chris Cornell
@@garygamble6246 He played the drums while singing during the first year of the band, until they got a drummer in 1985. You should work on your reading comprehension and fact checking skills, my man
@@garygamble6246 yeah Jake is right, he played drums and sang initially when they were just a three piece. But they eventually hired a drummer so he could do only vocals. That was only a few years after the band formed in '84.
Pearls of swine bereft of me Long and weary my road has been I was lost in the cities Alone in the hills No sorrow or pity for the leaving I feel (chorus) I am not your rolling wheels I am the highway I am not your carpet ride I am the sky Friends and liars don't wait for me I'll get on all by myself I put millions of miles Under my heels And still too close to you I feel (chorus) I am not your rolling wheels I am the highway I am not your carpet ride I am the sky I am not your blowing wind I am the lightening I am not your autumn moon I am the night!!!!!! Rest in peace chirs Cornell,!!!
A true poet. Love you brother. If the song doesn't make you think then the words and knowledge better or else you are not worth the flesh you are printed on.
...... Like Neil said ........ : I, I , I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I. Do I LOVE this song ..... yes !!!!!!!!!!!! Yes - I do .......... Heavy - but he needed "TRUE" friends ............ He need a TRUE understanding of GOD !!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!! Sadly - he missed the boat. I am hopeful he did find GOD in the end .........
Chris ....the most perfect ROCK STAR!!!! So strong, deep, real. He can give JESUS the chills with his voice, even after 100 listens in a row to the same song. So hard to think of a close second. RIP you are missed more than you can ever have fathomed. Miss you brother
Layne Staley is the only comparison in my opinion. He didnt have even close to the range that Chris had. But god damn did they both have an abundance of natural talent
There are many talented singer in the history of rock and metal....robert plant,ian gillan,axl,dave,kurt,eddie etc but for me the greatest ever are layne and chris...no one can match their voice
Not to knock on any other bands, because I've done it before, and it is hard to do night after night... but so much respect to Chris for hitting all of his notes, no matter how high and how hard. How many times have you seen a band live and been so disappointed when they drop down an octave on your favorite part of each song??!! Chris sang each note as intended, with so much raw and beautiful power behind every breath. Truly... "No one sings like you anymore"....
This is how I remember Chris in concert....he wasn't himself in the last clips. RIP CC. ....gone but shall always be loved and cherished by fans. We miss you!!!
I was raised on Soundgarden and that amazing voice by Cornell. I was heartbroken when I heard the news man. There have been a number of unfortunate musician deaths in recent years, but this one hit me hardest. RIP Chris. You were extraordinary
Siempre que lo escucho, me hace acordar que músicas como estas tocaron lo profundo de mi vida. SIEMPRE que escucho Grunge cdo ando media perdia en mis pensamientos, me reencuentro, Chris Cornell me ayuda más a hacerlo. Es notable, creo que vive en mi corazón. Asi como el grunge no ha muerto, él tampoco, además de en mi, vive con su arte.
With the lost of my father still weighing on me and struggling through detox from opiate addiction. This video brings me to tears every time I watch it - the pain in Chris's voice. The struggle to perform despite being exhausted. RIP My friend - You've helped me and many others through some very rough times.
I’m a recovering opiate abuser because of 4 hip Replacements and have dealt with insomnia issues for the past year along with battling anxiety and depression. So I just found this song and I can so relate to this man’s lyrics because I get it all. When your in constant pain 24/7 no matter if weather it body or your brain you become exhausted with life. Depression is no joke !!!! Anyways I just felt like sharing and hope things are looking up for you ✌️
O Chris sempre entregou muito no palco. E essa união dele com os caras do RATM foi simplesmente surreal. Hoje, infelizmente, a mídia não dá tanta visibilidade ao rock, apesar de existirem tantas bandas boas por aí, o que faz com que os jovens não conheçam a boa música.
TRIED TO POST SOMETHING BUT LOST IT .ANYWAY HE MOVED ME.NOT MANY DO ANYMORE.YOU WILL BE MISSED BUT YOU'RE MUSIC AND LYRICS WILL ALLWAYS BE WITH ME. THANK YOU
This is so sad. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to see Soundgarden live and Chris Cornell solo live. Both concerts were awesome. He's been my favourite singer for so long and it's still hard to accept that we won't be blessed with his talent anymore. Where ever you are now brother be at peace, you will be missed 💔
debbiemacd might be the best singer/songwriter of our time along with that incredible voice. I hope the Buddhist are right because I want to come back as Chris Cornell 😁
@@rodneymoore7454 You are so right about that. He was and still is my favourite musician of all time. When he died it felt like someone punched me in the chest. I hope one day we will get the honour of hearing all the music he produced at home but hadn't released.
This video breaks my heart. My late husband had that same look in his eyes right before he died. Addiction to pain pills drains you until you just can't anymore. God bless and keep Chris's wife and children ❤️
