They had been doing the song for years on tour, so ya ironic but not unusual. I was at the show btw and saw nothing that indicated any signs of a man in trouble.
True, but the fact robert plant refused to play the song ever again with led zeppelin or himself, after his young son died, the song used to be nicknamed the death song,@Bumble-bz5mm
I actually saw em once in 92 on the Gnr tour in Europe .. But unfortunately i still didn't knew soundgarden very much, I had listen just to ultramega ok plus I wasn't that closer to see clearly but I heard it good I guess
I saw all the greats bands of the late 80's and early 90's. U2, Nirvana, Metallica, GnR, Alice in Chains, STP, PJ, Primus, Tool, Rage 20 other I can't think of at the moment, even Pink Floyd. Soundgarden was the best concert I ever attended. I had so much fun rockin out I got heat stroke after the concert and puked my guts out. Awesome times.
To think that the band had no idea that this would be their last time performing with chris just is so heartbreaking. How devastated they must have been when they heard the news...
I think they knew something was up but you never know how much they were informed on what his struggle was all about, darkness was much involved. Jesus is gonna make up, the way he says is haunts me.
pat b I agree. It seems that Kim Thayil looks over at Chris with looks of concern at times throughout the song. Maybe I’m over analyzing, but you’d think that if us fans could see something was off, Kim would absolutely be able to recognize that there may be something seriously wrong with CC.
I've read somewhere that Ben tried to make eye contact with Kim as he felt something was off. But even if they did all know something was wrong, they wouldn't have been able to anticipate what happened. We miss you Chris. It shouldn't have turned out the way it did. Rest well Chris
Died in a hotel owned by BlackRock and the only witness (suspect) is a guy with ties to Heidi Klum and Jeffrey Epstein... now BlackRock coincidently owns all of his music.
@@mikerophone7805 In October 2021, the Blackstone Group announced a partnership with Hipgnosis Song Management backed by an initial $1 billion in funds managed by Blackstone. It also acquired an ownership stake in Hipgnosis Song Management.[38] In 2022, among other acquisitions, Hipgnosis Song Management acquired 100% of the Justin Timberlake catalogue,[39] 80% of Kenny Chesney's catalogue,[40] and all of the 278 songs written by Leonard Cohen.[41][42] As of July 2022, Hipgnosis Songs Fund owned 65,000 songs with a fair value of $2.7 billion.[43]
This makes me sad to watch. I saw him & Soundgarden a half dozen times in 25 years. Never saw, or heard, Chris like this. There will never be another like him.
Take a look at the same song from The Wiltern (search for Soundgarden Artists Den) and listen to the difference - in 2013 Chris was nailing every note and timing was perfect, this was pretty sloppy and lots of missed notes and straining. That's what they probably mean.
I was just gonna post the exact same comment as you... before I read yours.. I too have seen him many times live, and this is just not him. his mannerisms, his voice, it's different for sure, it's off, in more ways than one and it's so so so sad to witness. Although I never had the privilege of meeting him, I felt as though he was a member of my family of sorts... it's a devastating loss... I don't think I will ever get over it.
one of my favorite songs, and I agree, something was wrong with Chris, no 5 octaves this time. . . . . and You notice it just hearing this song :(. We Still miss You Chris.
I believe his soul died after the solos. He was saying goodbye during in my time of dying. But he's just going through the motions at that point. I cannot put into words how much I loved this man's music. Goodbye Chris.
Who did the remake of this last con cert? I watched it that was not him in the last concert last song? He raised his arm is prayer and asked for forgiveness and may his broken wings take him.. this is lies!
Chris Cornell NEVER "just went through the motions. He never stopped caring about music and he didn't want to die. This video shows a musician that's out in tune with his emotions. His doctor committed gross medical malpractice.
Depression is hell, when your mind becomes so delusional where you cannot tell if you are seriously off or if it's all in your head and you battle sitting looking at everything and nothing at once. Rip Chris... I been there, I get it.
This man was killed, he was not depressed to the point of suicide. He gave his life to try and bring light to human trafficking and child slavery. Search “the silent children” that documentary is the reason he is no longer in this earth.
I saw them finish their show in Indianapolis about 10 days before this... Chris was completely different. So alive, so comfortable in his own skin, and still a master of himself. To get this far and yet still to fall to depression... this one hurts more than any musician I’ve lost in my 50+ years on Earth. Jesus I miss that voice.
Often times when people make the decision in their mind to kill themselves, they DO appear kind of happy and at peace... they are also known to sometimes start giving away possessions during the leadup to The Day. I have lost several friends to suicide... depression is fucking evil.
CC=Freemason.....Sacrifice or faked death? He did show alot of Occult symbolism. Im not sure anymore what I think the more I read. Lot of predictive programming in his videos.
Meet me, Jesus, meet me Ooh, meet me in the middle of the air If my wings should fail me, Lord Oh, please meet me with another pair Well, well, well So I can die easy Well, well, well So I can die easy In my time of dying I want nobody to mourn All I want for you to do Is take my body home
Very chilling stuff to hear from him :( and as far as I know he only did in my time of dying on this show and none on the other shows. But I’m probably wrong on that
@@samuelwetz8378 He did...he put some of the sharp grit of a loner into it at the Wiltern. It's haunting & gets you in the gut. See "SG Live at the Artist's Den", S&B is the last song, just like here - although it goes into a fantastic Feedbacchanal by Kim before fading out. Of course I recommend watching the whole concert :) Be well & safe.
@@samuelwetz8378 That's not true, Soundgarden finished concerts with those 2 songs, many times before. Google their setlists before putting crap out there. You're wrong, lol.
I just wished I could have known. Would have crossed the ocean to see the show, to jump up on the stage and just hug him, just let him know how loved he was, how much we needed him. I won't watch this video again. Still breaks my heart 4 years later. We love you, Chris, wherever you are, in whichever dimension. And thank you, you don't know how many of us you saved.
You don't EVER "jump on stage and hug" a performer. You are a TOTAL STRANGER to them. They are working. This is their job. What if some TOTAL STRANGER ran up to you at work, jumped on your desk and tried to hug you? You'd call security. This isn't about YOU. It's about respect, boundaries, and being a RESPECTFUL fan. You are a THREAT when you jump on stage, not a comfort. Remember that: A THREAT.
Sounded amazing too...I've revisited this several times from different posters....foul play is what i think...why Chris? I hope the suicidal thoughts dnt cause an immediate reaction at times. I've had thoughts and try not to react upon them and brush them aside alot,feeling i would never do that...never put my family through that...am i fooling myself? I'm still here and fighting. Wish Chris was too...miss you bro. Meet me in the middle,with new wings to spare. In my time of dying i won't dispare. R.I.P. Chris
Chris knew exactly what his plans were later. One of the two rocks stars whom I sobbed over. When I heard the next morning I just lost it. I followed Chris from the late 80s. What a loss 😢😢😢😢
So hard to watch, biggest regret is never had the chance to see Soundgarden or Chris Cornell in concert. 3 Years on and still heartbreaking. Forever Loved Forever Missed No one sings like you anymore 💜💔💜
That is one of my concerns. How could his band see him like that with the fans even knowing smtn was off and allow him to just go his own way that night? It still hurts like hell! 😭
@@loudloveen yes i know but if one of my buds had a night like that i would not have hit the road right after the show leaving him behind hoping for the best. Makes me wonder how close they actually were as bandmates 🤷♀️ would you leave a friend behind in that state of emotion?
@@sygmoore They could never have imagined what would happen that night. Chris Cornell loved his family and to be a musician. Even his wife who said he'd been walking like her grandfather didn't try to persuade him not to tour.
@@loudloveen His wife? She wasnt on the tour. I hope ur not referring to that lying eyed interview she gave to good morning america 🤔. I dont believe a thing she says
I've seen some "going through the motions" comments, and I must respectfully disagree if you're including the performance of this song. He gave it his all, vocally, here. RIP ...
are you kidding. watch the performance of this song may 14. Then tell me how good he was. I saw the last show. I actually commented, (when everyone said how great he was) "He didn't sound that great".A n hour later he was dead.
I feel that he’s all there & then some! Haunting & gorgeous! His voice is up with the angels. Almost saintly, the set was incredible. Singing & music was his souls greatest knowledge. So sad that this feeling lost his family to him, but every saint needs a sin.. his was suicide but .. what a beautiful & sensitive soul. I think his voice here is epic & his soul strong & defiantly epic. Bless him & rest his soul. His family are blessed & cursed, but ultimately blessed as he was pure & good of heart. 💔
Touring is exhausting, & the way he was putting out these incredible performances night after night.., I heard he said to his wife on the phone that night, that the ringing in his ears wouldn’t stop. No wonder when you hear what he was exposed to using these sets, & his own screaming, I think he sounds epic but he burnt himself out... rock & roll suicide. Every Saint has a sin. Suicide. 💖 but what a gorgeous spirit, 💔💖🎸⏰🍁🌃😎⭐️
He’s doing great here for a 50 year old rocker that’s abused substances off and on his whole life. Heck he’s doing great just for his age, substance abuse or not. He’s also at a very healthy weight - not malnourished looking as people tend to say.
Im so glad I got to see Soundgarden in 1993 at Molson Park Barrie, Ontario. They were a big part of the soundtrack to my teens. So crazer he's dead. Man o man.
I love this band so much, if I had to pick three bands back catalogue to listen to for the rest of time it'd be these guys, radiohead and probably the beatles
I’m a local stagehand and the guy I worked with today was the stage manager for them since their reunion. He had the final set list taped to the inside of a road box. The last song was supposed to be Beyond the Wheel but it was crossed out. Chris came off stage to him and asked “what do YOU want to hear?” And he requested Rusty and Slaves. Beyond honored to have heard some stories of him and Chris.
I agree, but you can absolutely tell he was not spot on. He was ALWAYS flawless, and you can just hear the dragginess of his voice, just wasn't himself for sure
@@ianmason2003 Layne Stayley was pretty much flawless as a live performer. Chris was always better on record than live. As Chris got older his voice lost its phenomenal power - I wonder if Chris, aware of this and the fact that it didn't really cut it anymore for Soundgarden songs, took his life, especially since being a vocalist was his identity?
Andre Gailani I hate to say it, but I’ve thought the same thing. But more specifically if he “blew his voice out” like he was overheard saying to his wife on the phone after the concert, maybe he felt with her lavish lifestyle he wouldn’t be able to support it. Reading the lyrics from his last few solo records you wonder how happy he was. Maybe he was edging about Susan, maybe it was just hypothetical, maybe it was completely literal about his current state, we will never know. But it all sucks. The Earth was a better place with him on it.
Noone but Chris knows what Chris is going through. stop assuming, speculating, guessing, as this is what fuels gossip and rumors. Noone will ever know what was going on. Thank you for being your amazing selves everyone, peace and much love sent from Ontario, Canada. P.S. R.I.P. CHRIS YOU ARE A TRUE HUMAN BEING.
somethin don't add up, the band was well rehearsed. at 7:18 he's matching kim thayils guitar parts, so everything was going according to plan. it just dont make sense.
Holy fucking shit it’s already been a year since this happened, one of those times that will always feel like yesterday. Best vocals of all time, he’s the guy people.
He said we will see you soon.It was a misadventure his untimely departure from this time.I hope his next memories are as good as the ones he experienced in this form.
Depression has been a part of my life and all I can say is it sucks, it's draining and devouring! So grateful I got to experience this band 4 times over a 30 year span. There will never be another frontman quite the likes of one Chris Cornell!! Miss ya Chris!!
To be completely honest, I also suffer from depression and Chris was still alive through this performance. His decision most likely was spontaneous when he was all alone, an overwhelming urge to satisfy the irrational desire that flew over him.
also the ones who have decided to commit suicide seems to be happier after they have made decision which will end the pain the suffer.. so just by looking any person is impossible to say what will happen next.. only thing matters is inside the head and only one person knows that is yourself.. I hope you are in good care with your depression and you'll get over it as many of us can do one day.. but it's different story for all of us..
I've purposely avoided watching videos of this show because I knew it was going to be sad to watch,,, not sure why I decided to watch it now but wish that I didn't. Rip to the legend!
I want people to recognize that in this last song he was crying out to Jesus. He says, “meet me Jesus meet me, if my wings should fail me meet me with another pair.” He continues to talk to Jesus over and over throughout the end of this verse. Please recognize this man was in pain and he was at the end of his time and he knew who his creator was. I pray that you know him too and that we all abide in his laws and know that he loves us. After all the deaths in 2017 Chris Cornell’s hit me the most hardest along with Chester’s. Please realize what is real and what is most important in your life, and do the best that you can with it. It’s not material things in this life, but afterwards. It’s at the end of a man’s life that they realize what is most important.
You're delusional and grandiose, and you sound like a religious narcissist who gets off by how "special" you feel by your connection to Jesus. smh Embarrassing...for you.
C’hello folks, it has taken me until now to watch any of the posts of this gig since his passing. I’ve been a fan of soundgarden and the Seattle sound music for more than 30 years now ever since i heard malfunction> mother love bone etc etc. IMO Chris did not look or sound himself especially the tune. And if you look closely Kim and Ben watching Chris during the song. Things were not right... I’ve been hit hard by all of my favourite singers passing. Lane, Chris Andrew wood and now Mr lanegan, but what they have given all of us is something that will never die or fade away... music from our generation and generation’s to follow. My 16 year old daughter is now playing bass guitar and loves Ben and Jeff ament, beautiful rhythm she said of both bands...💔🙏✌️🇮🇪
I grew up on Chris Cornell, my mother was pregnant with me when they went to see Audioslave, my whole life and music was molded by Audioslave, Soundgarden, and his solo work. I was so lucky to have seen him before he died, as I was 18. It was the best concert of my life. I wept when he died. And now seeing this video, knowing he died in the town I was born, his Led Zeppelin “Eulogy”, and the roar of his last vocal note, he deserved six sets of wings
So sad. I saw Chris on his solo tour at Nottingham Rock City and he finished his set with this song and his voice was perfect. This is a fucking difficult song to sing and especially at the end of a 3 hour set. So sad to hear this final version. Miss you Chris.
A lot of shit happened that year. Chris died, the shooting in Las Vegas happened, Chester died. Rest in Piece to all the rockers and people that left this world too early 🙏
He gave us all of himself. It’s always sad when someone you’re a fan of dies, but this one is the one that hurts the most. I didn’t know him (save for the time I was a teenager and accosted him after a Soundgarden show, but he was gracious and handled it better than I did). So many years, bands and solo albums, he really did give us everything. So beautiful, so talented, and golden vocal cords. I wish he could have made it through, and I wish he’d had a different way of getting through. But what do I know, I just know he left us a legacy of talent.
You can tell he’s just had enough of everything here, but he still manages to give it his all into this performance. Just hours later, he was gone. He chose to stop fighting his long battle with depression and took his own life at just 52 years old. RIP Chris Cornell 💔
Came here before his birthday for the 2nd time and tried to watch this video. luckily, I didn't turn it on..i ll better check SG videos from 90s.. Forever missed,i hope you found your Peace now💔
I will never forget driving to work the next day in the suburbs of Detroit and hearing on the radio that Chris died at the MGM Grand from Suicide. I did not even know they was in town, as they are one of my favorite bands. I am still distraught to this day that Chris is gone. He was such a beautiful human and had a wonderful soul. May he always RIP.
Badmotorfinger es uno de mis discos favoritos de todos los tiempos. Con ese disco los conocí y me enganche al instante con su sonido. Slaves and Bulldozers es de mis temas favoritos. Saber que fue la última canción que tocaron juntos es inspirador pero al mismo tiempo frustrante y desgarrador. Que triste. Descansa en paz Chris, siempre serás recordado con mucha admiración y respeto
EVERYONE The next time you meet your favorite musician, or any for that manner, ask them to please never take their own life, you never know who's words will matter most in someone's time of dying.
Yea because thas just what Id want to say to my favorite musician if I ever had the chance of meeting them! Having one chance and limited time to say one thing. "Hello Maynard James Keenan, please never take your own life. Ok bye." Cmon now. Cornell was one of my favorite musicians of all time. I honestly get tears in my eyes seeing this performance. Depression is real and absolutely terrible. That being said, going up to every musician you can and telling them to never take their own life makes no sense. None.
@@rilenixx It's just something to do, just because you don't want to doesn't mean you have too. I'll still say it to everyone I meet, cause who knows if you saying something won't be the thing that stops them from doing it?
I’m sorry, I’ve been seeing a lot of people telling he was singing with a broken voice and doesn’t look fine, but for me he was performing nice and amazing as always, the same performer as many shows. Can’t believe he was saying goodbye or planing his death at this point, suicide is impulsive, and I believe it was, maybe drug addicted. Doesn’t matter. What a loss. Forever missed.
I agree. I’ve seen him dozens of times since the 90s and there is definitely something wrong here. He’s not himself, stumbling, strange….it hurts my heart and I’m so sorry for whatever happened to lead him to this…such a crime:
Go to 7:00 in the video “And I promise, In my time of dying I ain’t gonna cry and I ain’t gonna fall… (while pointing to the crowd) “all I need for you to do is drag my body home” That’s not in either of the song’s original lyrics. I’ve never seen him use these lyrics in other performances of this song. He knew at some point that night this was it…
Saw soundgarden twice. First opening for voivod in a smallish club in LA. Promoting loud love. Short time later opening for Danzig at the long Beach arena? Soundgarden absolutely blew everyone away both shows. I felt bad for Voivod after soundgarden made everyone in that room wet. Cornell was an absolute beast that first show. Both actually but that first show everyone in that room seemed like a Virgin stuck in the headlights of Cornells viciously powerful stare. Insane shows.
This is what heroin does to one of the best artist of my generation and all my 90’s grunge heros . KurtC,Layne S,Deloris O,Shannon,Bradley.Please don’t talk down on these guys but in their honor use them as a positive way to not ever make the same mistakes as an artist or person and don’t let any substance or person get control of you only let Jesus in only.
@@christopherboyle4626 thanks, I actually came to these comments to see if the "In my time of dying" (which I can't actually hear in this video) was something they customarily included.
Omg I am watching this and In My Time Of Dying it seems as tho he is looking at his audience... Was he saying Good Bye . ? Breaks my Heart 2 watch this.. RIP Beautiful Angel .......
At a loss for words, his voice brings power to mind and how to use it. I just can’t believe it. Heart broke. His creative ability was like no other. The tuning he would do for guitar just amazing. His children, no one feels good from a man who lifted so many up.
This was his most dark, heave & honest song (in studio or live) and this vertion is angry, correct & honest. Thanck you for this performance and your other great songs RIP Chris Cornell (1964-2017): "no one sings like you anymore"
And then he was dead😭 no good I grew up listening and idolizing Soundgarden and Chris Cornell. What a total shame. I wish I could have helped him and just let him know that so many of us suffer and we can beat it together.😕 Rip beautiful man xxx
