Hey howard! My name is Billy, im 24 years old im an acoustic songwriter, i have alot of original songs that id like to play for you! I really think youll like i have what to offer! The recordings i have on my page arent that great bc theyre old so dont judge your opinion of me off of those please, give me this chance to have a break through howard you wont regret it!

Amazing voice ...

I miss that voice so much! You can't take away all the times he brought joy to the fans, such a unique artist

In my eyes, indisposed In disguises no one knows Hides the face, lies the snake The sun in my disgrace Boiling heat, summer stench 'Neath the black the sky looks dead Call my name through the cream And I'll hear you scream again Black hole sun Won't you come And wash away the rain Black hole sun Won't you come Won't you come (won't you come) Stuttering, cold and damp Steal the warm wind tired friend Times are gone for honest men And sometimes far too long for snakes In my shoes, a walking sleep And my youth I pray to keep Heaven sent hell away No one sings like you anymore Black hole sun Won't you come And wash away the rain Black hole sun Won't you come Won't you come Black hole sun Won't you come And wash away the rain Black hole sun Won't you come Won't you…

:( It's true. Such a unique voice.

He sings and plays with his soul. It's unique!

Ritchie Kotzen kinda does...

& ever again

@@virginiadeath4507 True with a dash of some prince... love RK

Johan Cruz wasn’t Christian

Johan Cruz odd tidbit- IIRC, both Chris & Chester Bennington (of Linkin Park) hanged themselves with an Exercise Band. Also IIRC, Cheater’s death had some suspicion around it, like broken ribs and bruising/etc. Either way, a true tragedy to have lost so many talented men and women that all helped shape the industry and world of music in general.

@@Davidblaine18 Don't matter if he is christian or if he was atheist he is still resting regardless

David Blaine yes he was but you don’t go to heaven when you commit suicide because it messes up god’s plan according to the Bible, sadly 😞

I think sound garden was the best Seattle band

You weren't insane at all , just know some good music 🖤

^

hah! that's great!

I would have loved to have seen that! 🤣

C’mon stop playing .. momma we’re all crazy now

Number of likes is 666.

@@shaneward7836 nice 👌

Nirvana, pearl jam, Alice in chains and soundgarden

Dave Grohl???

@@alih6804 Frontman, Dave was the drummer

Santa Clause I vote for a woman and her mouth, but hey, whatever floats your boat

Need a bass player for the perfect sound !

@@3bettor287 Stole my damn comment...lol

I'd go a step further and say Nothing better than THIS man and his guitar...but yeah, I feel you🙂

Agreed

Get outside dude!

Same. Foreshadowing...

i feel u...

@@Davidblaine18 ?

I feel you so strongly it ain’t funny!

Zoe Jeremy your comment lifted me out of a state of grave tension and existential dread. Thanks for the hearty laugh. Fucking hilarious.

only death besides my mom that hit me that way

It truly does...

I think I know exactly how u feel. It just breaks me up having to face the fact that CC is gone. How many more greats have to die from Heroin use until they stop messing with smack?

true

s14sean wait what???

Ever heard "River of Deceit" by Deuce Staley when he fronted Mad Season?

Agreed. Incredibly chilling

head down

this, Everlong, and Thank You are my favorites

Especially when it's acoustic lol

YES. a thousand times yes to this. Well said.

I guess

Couldn't agree more. My heartbreaks every time I hear him sing

His voice was amazing 🙌🏼🙏🏼

wow. you put words to what I'm sure a lot of us feel when we hear his music. Thanks

Rattles shaking shit up

You are reading too much into it. Like Chris said,"I was just playing with words. If anyone thinks they see some meaning in it,I don't get it at all. There is no real meaning to the lyric."

I am considering this my first tattoo

Darren Parkinson lol I’ve seen the same quote for Kurt Kobain

Here after pg requested a trade

I agree 😂

That’s my dad’s TruVoice

Belting

As Metallica.

Listen to him do Nobody Compares to You!!! Beautiful!!! Gets me welled up every time!

such a loss

OMG, ME TOOOO!! I MISS THIS MAN!!!!

Stop being brilliant

TO SHORT FOR HONEST MEN FAR TO LONG FOR SNAKES....

Haha that’s because he first started and it’s a bit awkward at first haha. You gotta kinda find your rhythm and voice. Once you start flowing it sounds nice and synched

Total shame as was for John Bohnam , Jimi , Steve Clark . Janis , Ronnie van Zant , Scott Weiland . All these left to early and senseless. Sad.

why tf do i have to sit through so much incessant mansplaining just to be a fan of rock music

Man really, no one sings like him anymore.

Shannon

Amy, Janis, Jimi, Jim 😢

Chester

Faltó Eddie veder

Lanegan

i hope it to be that way bro, for you both

Yes indeed. When its my turn to be a dad, I'll make sure I do the same

Great parenting. Music is key to life. Keep up the great work. Some 30 years ago my daughter loved song LoLa, Kinks. I swore she sang the chorus before she even said mama or dada. LOL When ever we would get into the car, she would scream LoLa, Lo La, LoLa, I mean full on meltdowns, until I put the cassette on. Once she could speak words she was singing other lyrics too.

It works, lol. I babysat my niece constantly from the time she was born til she ended up going to kindergarten, we would constantly listen to pearl jam, sound garden, the killers and a ton of others that i grew up with while coloring or playing. She absolutely loves them to this day and has to have it played when she comes to visit now. makes me proud she isn't listening to a lot of the absolute garbage that is being released now.

Fucking awesome man I'm proud and you should be to just made my day

I miss you😢

LMFAO at paradise you delusional dolt lol

My wife was really confused when she'd see me washing dishes etc with headphones on and tears pouring out of my eyes... now she just says one of chris' songs came on didn't it?

That is how real music are made. Remember in the Jack Black movie where they tried so hard to make a classic. It just doesn't work that way. I myself was a composer / musician. Some of my best works just came into my head just like that. Never had i written anything sustainable other than some 4 chords wonders sitting down forcing myself with a guitar.

Glad to know I'm not the only one. There must be something good far away, far away from here...

It's like putting your heart and gut against a cheese grater.

I'm crying now

@@kaithrichards8582 I am now...

@@kaithrichards8582 No, you are not crying....

im crying now

Then you are unseen *not* functioning adequately... 😂😂😂

What an underated comment 🙌

Amazing 👏

So, you're saying... you've never been cool before, but you are when you listen to this one.

what about Audioslave?? lol

👍

Likewise 👍🤔

I think “wash away the rain” if a metaphor for just that

😢

robert plant is alive dude

@@xandypunk7350 lol

I was never a Soundgarden fan (they just weren't on my radar), but I have to agree that he's... Was one of the greatest rock vocalists ever.

@@xandypunk7350 he didn't say Mount Rushmore of Rock frontmen is in heaven lol

@@xandypunk7350 does that disqualify him from being a legend or something?

Having been a very long time listener Howard always appreciates the live performances. He is a huge fan of music and always marvels at the performances in his studio. Howard can be crass but he is a fan of great music & musicians.

He talks about this and plays it often

he asked chris to ride the sybian

OMG Chris Cornell was Howard’s “man crush” - of fucking course he appreciated his talent and gifts, and this mesmerizing performance

Same ❤️😢

Saw him in Indy once acoustic and twice with Soundgarden. So glad I did

Well you should, because you were. I feel happy and sad saying that at the same time if it's possible.

sung*

Hope you're doing good now?

Sheena Jackson Yep same here , im pretty sure i would've never seen my 21st birthday if it wasn't for Chris Cornell's music

Stay strong my friend. His spirit will forever live within us...

Stay as strong as you can!

His music will live forever dude. Stay strong

Blueblaze5 Good luck on your way. I love breaking out my old guit-fiddle and laying down some tasty jams

People are stupid?

Paulina. You’re beautiful, I hope you have an amazing day 🤘🏼

Paulina ..you're beautiful ....Pleased to meet you..do you know my name? hahah Beware of strangers. I am sorry that I missed a chance to go see Chris in my home town when he did a concert here a few years ago. The more I see and hear of him the more impressive he is to me. Knowing now what happened to him and listening to this song ..and how he wrote it at 4:00 a.m. in a car .....you can feel and see his pain ...Black hole sun ...won't you come and wash away the rain....its like he is singing from an abyss way deep in his soul...at the end trying to make the sadness go away. Inspiring the fight to free oneself from Depression. I think he is free now. RIP

Yes Paulina he is missed.

Wow nice comment

Bieber_Hole69, are you serious?

He’s dead, person!
