- I have no idea if this is the right thing to do or not. Really don't know what to do today, so I'm going to try sharing some memories. I mainly want people to know what a thoughtful, caring, intelligent person Chris was, and I thought I would just share a few stories about the times we spent together. I will miss him, so much, forever.
I wanted to share something amazing. I got to sit with Steve Vai last night for a bit, after he played at the Malibu Guitar Festival. I'm so glad I went- I wasn't going to, but I made myself go. He was so kind. This is a guy that I have looked up to since I was 12 years old, he's kind of a beacon of light in this business- in music- how to live your life as a creative person and be successful.. he should write a book. Anyways, he sat with me and told me he knew I was close with Chris, and said "you know, you can still have a relationship with him- when you think of him, just try and smile.. it's too soon now, but as soon as you can, try and smile when you think of him, because it will automatically make you think of good memories, the good times with him". I really needed to hear that last night and it's such great wisdom. And I think we should all try and do that. Thank you Steve Vai from the bottom of my heart.
Wise words from Steve Vai. Thank you for sharing your story. Chris Cornell was a voice of my generation. It is truly a terrible loss :( I am sorry you lost your friend Sir. God Bless.
Pete Thorn That's great Pete. Steve does seem like a wonderful guy. You are a great soul. Channel this into your music. We all love you.
I don't know Mr. Vai, but judging from his always thoughtful responses during interviews etc. I'm not surprised one bit that he would be a real voice of reason. I am incredibly sorry for your personal loss. Anyone who grew up with Chris's music had a special bond to his words. You had a far greater bond with him. Be glad you were lucky. There are 7.2 Billion people on Earth, and you were one of the lucky few who got to say they knew him. When you're ready, smile about that.
Pete Thorn, I'm blown away...I have no words that will make the pain go away...this story of Vai gave me goosebumps... the love musicians have for eachother and for our craft is just amazing.... thank you for letting us into your life... and for sharing your experiences...it just confirms to me...we are one big family. 🎸
That is so heavy and helpful as well. I will take that to heart. Peace brother.
I clicked this video thinking "I'll just watch a couple of minutes then I'll go bed".
Here I am, 37 minutes later. Thanks for opening your heart like you did Pete. This is a beautiful video and tribute to Chris.
Juan Martin Germano I went up to the gas station at about 10 minutes in to get some combos and a couple Heinekens to watch the rest of this. now I'm buzzing about to spend the rest of my night remembering Chris. I'm supposed to be on a diet too but fuck it
Sometimes "FUCK IT" must be declared, and this is one of those times indeed. Ben and Jerry's it is...
Same, couldn't stop watching:-)......
I just did the same thing...I had to watch the whole thing. It was pure and real.
Thank you for sharing your memories. This means a lot to so many of us.
Pete is amazing guitar player, genuinely humble and talented. This is a beautiful tribute to one of the world's last great Rock singers! Thanks for sharing Pete!
I wasn't expecting you, Warren, to react to this video, but I'm glad you did..
Also grateful; that Pete shared all of this with us...
RIP Chris, wherever you are, I hope it's better...
Apologies, still a bit shaken...
Hi Steve A I've been a fan of Pete's for years. He's one of the most respected guitar players in the world. He and Tim Pierce are the bench marks for what professional musicians should be! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hi Warren, thank u
Thank YOU Pete!
Pete, I wasn't a huge fan but that's not important. I really appreciated what you did here. Personal relationships and stories are far more important to convey then all the tabloid garbage you normally get when something like this happens. How he touched you and his impact on your life was great to hear. We all have a purpose in life. Thank you for sharing these stories! : )
I lost my son last year, and I can say that this was the best thing you could have done; to share your stories about him.
He should not be defined by how he died, but by how he lived. And he gave us so much.
+Brad B thank you and heartfelt condolences, I can't imagine losing a son or daughter.
I think sharing personal experiences is always the right thing to do.
mathew was here Totally agree. No shame in that. It's just being human.
Thanks Pete, nicely done.
butt_woman "What are you, four?"
mathew was here - Exactly my experience, man! It is quite strange, that my Daddy passed away exactly year before Chris, so yesterday was very very hard day for me. BUT! Through emotions, sharing them, talkin' about them, even I go to my awesome psychologist, some cool therapies, this is my way. It is very sad, that many people just hide their inner fears and sadness. I wish to all of us pure souls, pure emotions, cuz when we ar pure before us, then we can go to the next doors. I composed song about my father called Angel and I'm so happy, that Pete is here and he talk about everything also. RIP Chris! Man with beautiful soul! :)
Same here mate. My dad passed away a year ago yesterday, though I still havent dealt with my loss. All the best to you and your family
You're among friends Pete. We're all feeling like this brother. Thanks for sharing this with us.
TheOzzk so you knew him too?
+Dan Pedro relax dude
Thank u man. It's true we are all friends in this and united in the feelings we are all having now.
You are the real deal. Much respect to you.
+mindrunfree 🙏
Wow. Thank you SO much for sharing this. My first time viewing this and am speechless. You are such a good person and friend. Again thank you. Very nice of you.
"Eyes like a husky". Ha, right on. Thanks for the video Pete.
That was an awesome description. Well put, Pete.
You were the first person I thought of. So sorry.
Chris Cornell was impossibly beautiful with impossible range in an impossible world.
CIRCLE OF TONE Your friend for guitar tone Me too. My condolences Pete, you've lost a friend & the world has lost an amazing talent & all around good person.
Talking is healthy, Pete. Hope you're doing Ok. My thoughts are with Chris' family and friends.
thank u Rick
This was incredibly moving Pete... thanks for sharing those stories... a great tribute!
You are the only friend that spoke about Chris this way. As a fan I appreciate your heartfelt willingness to share these moments with us. Chris is forever in our hearts.
Hey thanks Christine. This was a spur of the moment in shock kind of video that I made that morning. I just needed to talk about it and I guess I feel comfortable talking this way. Which is bizarre because largely you’re talking to strangers on the Internet, but I’ve grown comfortable with it. Chris was a special dude, and I think about and miss him every day.
sorry for your loss Pete. We lost an icon, people like u also lost a friend! :(
Few of us out here will likely ever get a chance to know you in "real" life Pete, but despite that, I do think most of us are here on your channel because we love what you do, how you do it and also because we sense you're just a quality human being.
Absolutely the right thing to share your memories of Chris - how privileged we all are to hear such great, personal stories about such an amazing musical presence. Thank you for sharing them Pete.
RIP Chris - tragically, like so many others, gone far, far too soon but assuredly will not easily be forgotten.
Sincere condolences Pete - we all are here for you...all 84+ thousand of us.
My sentiments as well. Well said. My heart goes out to the family, and all closest to him. " May all your tomorrows shine".
Well said. Enjoyed hearing that even Chris leaned on Pete for his amazing gear knowledge too! RIP Chris!
I couldn't have said this better myself.
Amen...Thx for sharing. So lucky to have had the friendship and experiences. My condolences to you. God bless
We all feel your sadness and disbelief, Pete. It's clear that Chris was an important person in your life. very sorry for your loss.
Quite possibly the best video I have ever watched on CZcams. Thank you for this.
+M B thank you so much. It was hard to make and good to make at the same time- therapeutic
Such a beautiful tribute to your friend and band mate. Thank you for helping us know him and you better. Condolences to you, his family and his fans.
My girlfriend of the past 18 years passed away a few weeks ago following a 2-1/2 year long battle with cancer. Just wish I could talk with her one more time. I know you feel the same about Chris. Hard to believe when someone just disappears like... forever. You did good in sharing and honoring his big heart with your memories. I can't speak for Chris's family but I would suspect they would greatly enjoy sitting with you and reminiscing... when the time is right. It heals the heart. Stay strong friend. Gone, but not forgotten.
Keith Murray I don't know you personally but I am really sorry to hear this Keith. I couldn't imagine losing my wife, my thoughts are with you. also RIP Chris, sorry for your loss PT
I'm really sorry to hear that Keith, I lost my Dad to Brain Cancer (Glioblastoma Multiforme) in 2016 and I'm still very much not myself. Remember the good times and try to not get too caught up in the sadness. Hard to imagine and a little cliche I know but it's about the only thing you can do.
Thanks Joel. We don't pick the cards that are dealt, we just play them. Never let a day go by without telling her you love her. I definitely did.
Thanks Dee-Bee, as I just told Joel, we don't get to pick the cards we're dealt. Agreed, I do what I can to focus on the good memories. Losing a loved one just sucks. I feel PT's pain.. there's a hole left behind when someone passes. Only time can heal some wounds.
Keith Murray I'm so sorry for your loss.
You're an amazing friend to Chris and your honesty moves me. That was a rare display of honesty and a fitting tribute.
This was so incredible to hear. I've been at such a loss since yesterday. I've lost a couple of very close family members the same (almost eerily) exact way, and struggled with suicidality almost my entire life. Naturally with that history, anyone would be upset over this news. But loving so much of Chris's art, this cut deep. I have never cried so much or physically felt so grief stricken over someone I didn't know personally. But this video... gave me a smile, and only reassured how grounded and genuine of an artist he was. I partied hard and jammed -almost- too hard at a stuffy concert hall venue this past summer. A part of me was almost embarrassed that I loved so much of that show- but now my only regrets are not showing love more and not seeing a show where you played, too. Thanks so much for sharing such intimate moments, and I so wish I could give you a hug. Healing vibes sent your way. Thanks so much for being vulnerable and sharing so much love to the giant community that loved Chris for everything he was.
And truly, fuck the 66 people that gave this a thumbs down. A kagillion thumbs up, and a kagillion hugs to your sweet soul.
+Meg Fisher thank u Meg and I'm really happy if I could help even just a bit
Thank you for sharing your stories. I never had the opportunity to meet him or see him live, but I am grateful to always hear anything about him. He was one special guy and I will always respect and love him. Forever missed 💔
I am sorry for your loss. I cried today when I found out I still can't believe it.
beautiful.
thank you for taking the time - big heart!
Hi Pete I've watched all your video's and comment almost never on any social site ...this was very awesome and giving of yourself in bringing us closer to you and your experiences with Chris I can only say condolences to you well done and thank you
+BlackheathBand thank you!
Thank you for sharing Pete.
Sorry for your loss. Made me choke up a little.
I hate this. :(
Thanks for sharing Pete. I bet one of the things Chris liked about you is your genuineness. Carry the torch and keep making great music. Sorry about your loss.
Tragic loss. Who the hell would thumbs down this?
my thoughts exactly!
I'm sure some might have been smart phone accidents or 3 year olds picking up dads phone. You never know.
I hope you always smile when you think of Chris. 💕
At this point, I would hope, and hopefully should expect, that the remaining members of the Seattle scene will get together and produce a tribute to Chris that echos, equals, and possibly surpasses the tribute that Chris and friends gave to Andrew Wood. Temple of the Dog was one of the most beautiful musical eulogies ever written, produced, and published. Chris is worthy of the same. And this tribute has the potential to "Reach Down and Pick the World Up" to include the extended family that Chris had developed over the years. Just a thought. Not for profit, but for respect. It would be a beautiful thing.
Thank you so much for sharing...I am certain that many people are interested in hearing stories from those who were close to him, and I appreciate you taking the time to tell us some of your experiences.
I sure hope that tribute album does happen!
Jeff Curran I was hoping for the same thing. Not for profit, for respect. Well said.
Thanx Maggie. It humbles me to see that somebody else feels my respect. I loved Chris as a musician. He was one of my significant inspirations.
Jeff Curran Yes for sure Jeff. I mentioned the same thing to a few friends that I hope someone writes a song as beautiful as Say Hello to Heaven for him. I really hope it happens too. Chris deserves the best.
I hope this made you feel a little better Pete, because it made me feel a little better. Such a beautiful voice.
So sorry for your loss PT
Thank you for your authenticity and humility. you have such a sweet soul. You have a lifelong fan in me.
Thanks for posting this.We love you Chris....❤️
I'm fucking heart broken. Depression ain't no joke. It's total suffering. Best explanation I can give it. When this happens to someone like Chris it scares the hell out of me. He had way more resources than most of us and it still took him down. Makes me feel hopeless. I'm 48 now and I've been having a rough couple of months. My heart bleeds for you and yours Chris, RIP brother. TALK ABOUT DEPRESSION PEOPLE! lift the stigma.
Donovan Gibbs I live it every day. Hold on to the little things, your family and close friends. Just a little light can drown the darkness. I've had bipolar and depression for years. Only those who have it know what it's like. I don't know you from Adam, but just remember that your life matters. Never give up. Never lose faith. Hang in there, brother.
I'm 49, and feel the same as you. All i can do is try to remember that it's temporary. I've had bad periods and 'decent' periods, and each day, it's only the hope that a decent period is just around the corner that keeps me going.
Stay. That's all i can say. Just stay and push through.
Yes Donovan, depression is no joke. I mean look what Chris had - he had it all...but tragically all that he had couldn't save him.....the key to dealing with depression is to be aware of it...and to process your thoughts and feelings around it. I'm 50 now and this is what I've learnt from my experience. Talking helps and so does staying on top of it too by putting in place coping strategies in your life to manage it. Processing grief is not easy....it took me twelve years to get over the death of my mum and I drank my sorrows away. I was deeply depressed but not even aware of it. I became an alcoholic as a result. I'm now sober and have remained so for over 4 years which helps but depression regardless is a dangerous mental condition which we must watch out for and guard against.
Donovan Gibbs hey bro. I know this sucks. My heart is broken to. But keep your head up bro. If you get knocked Down as long as u can look up get up. Praying for you.
This is all so fucked. Look, sorry that Chris died and shit. He was an exceptional singer and musician. But I deal with depression to the point it's suffocating. For this fucker to go and kill himself because he was depressed is a goddamn fucking joke. Like Cobain...selfish fucking assholes. Fuck them
What a beautiful obituary; thanks Pete......
Much love to you Pete, you're a standup guy yourself and a great musician also. Chris was phenomenally talented, so take solace in the fact you were in that category of musician to be able to play with him. He was the vocal soundtrack for my life from a 14-year-old boy to the 35-year-old man I am now, and although I didn't have the pleasure of knowing him personally like yourself, he was omnipresent in my life through music and I kinda grew up with him always there in that respect, and the sadness I have felt the last week is proof you don't have to know someone personally to care about them, especially when they influence your life in such a positive way. All the best to you Pete and keep on rockin, 'Be Yourself, It's All That You Can Do'. ...Rest In Peace, Chris.
Thank you Pete for sharing . That was very real, brave and world class! Regards
Beautiful video, I didn't want it to end. Just for a bit it seemed like nothing awful had happened and he was still with us.
Thank you for sharing Pete, my thoughts are with you, his friends and his family. Still trying to process the loss, he really was one of a kind, such a voice and from what you've said a truly beautiful soul.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful memories with us, Pete.
He has always been a favourite of mine. I was on a tour bus heading towards Houston when I heard the news. I still don't believe it.
I hope you smile when you remember him soon.
All the best,
Kasper
Thank you for opening up your heart and sharing your stories, your grief and your love for your dear brother Chris. Respect.
Wow...totally speechless. Thank you so much for sharing those stories Pete. I think it's a true honor to Chris, to share how awesome of a person he really was.
Peter, talking to us like you do is a good way to remember him and keeping him alive in your heart and mind. It is difficult to process this news, after all we are just human beings. I admire you because you are not a fucking guitar diva, you are a humble guy that knows what does it takes to get where you are. I just loved your Chris stories. hugs for you from Mexico city.
Thanks for sharing these stories Pete. I hope this helps you as much as it helps us have a better understanding of who Chris Cornell really was.
Thank u Dale!
I saw you guys play in Toronto twice. Front row. Both were epic performances. Thanks for sharing your stories. That picture of you in the badmotorffinger shirt and Chris screaming above you is amazing. You were lucky to have known him so closely as a friend.
Thanks for opening up Pete, Chris will surely be missed, what a voice...
Pete, thank you so much for sharing these stories. I can see how your experiences with Chris have shaped who you are. A few years ago I had a chance to do some work locally demoing some guitars for a guy who had a vintage guitar store. I tracked down your email for some advice about how much to charge and a few other things. At the time I had an attitude of "I've got nothing to lose...emailing Pete Thorn." And you emailed me back the same day. That blew me away. And to top it off, you gave me some really great advice and insight...because that's the kind of guy YOU are. You and Chris's family are in my prayers. Everyone here can, to some degree, understand that you will need time to grieve this. Take your time. Keeping talking to other friends and musicians about Chris. Thanks for helping us know Chris a little bit better, and to get a chance to smile or laugh at some of those great memories. We needed it too. Peace.
scottrrand37 hello everyone.Such a tragic loss.Just got done watching the performance at fox theater.Chris did not seem righr.The video i saw at 2 minutes into it chris looked right at the guys camera and it was spooky it was like his eyes were like yeay buddy glad you got that camera glad your catching my last performance it was black hole sun spooky god speed everyone.Thank you for the stories pete god bless u sir.
scottrrand37 dude, so awesome. Chris was incredible. More incredible, that he helped shape fellow artists with the same humility he had.
This is amazing, thank you for posting this up and sharing your times/stories with Chris.
U guys are amazing, his fans were amazing, I'm just a fan too and we all got to be a part of the guy's creative genious for a little while and for that I'm thankful.
Thank you Pete for sharing all of your personal Memories with Chris,the World was a better place for having an amazing talented Singer/Musician,he may be gone,but he will most definitely Never be forgotten,my heart goes out to his Wife/Kids,Family/Friends & his many many Fans,RIP Chris Cornell 💔😢
I'm so fucking sorry, Pete. We're all grieving with you today. Hang in there, man. Everybody is here if you need us.
Thanks Pete. He was a huge influence for me. I'm not a successful musician, but the music and vocals I write are heavily influenced by him. I'm going to miss his new music.
Hey Pete - That was one of the most raw and genuine things I have ever heard anyone say / do in a situation like this. Its so obvious that Chris touched your life on such a deep level, and personally I feel privileged to have been able to sit and listen to you speaking about Chris this last half hour. Keep doing what you are doing and thank you for sharing. Cheers Chad
I feel my life is better for hearing these thoughts and stories... THANK YOU for sharing Pete. treasure that time you spent with this awesome man. CHEERS! =)
Pete there is never a wrong or right thing to do in these circumstances, but you have to let it out. You just did that, heartfelt , honest and personal, thank you for sharing.
God Bless you Pete, and my condolences to you. Sorry for your and our loss, and glad you got to get your feelings out. The same happened to me when Allan Holdsworth passed away, and talking and chatting as you are doing (I haven't finished your video yet) is something you needed to do from deep in your heart. Time heals they say, it's just not that as easy to do as other say. Take care my friend. I'm sure you feel like me in a sense that a part of you died also in the moment. Keep strong, and remember all the good stuff.
what a beautiful story of a beautiful soul....thank you for sharing these intimate beautiful moments ...rip Chris
Great to hear your thoughts and experiences with Chris. I was watching various tributes to Chris and came across yours. Initially, I was going to skip through sections of it, but I found myself watching the entire 37 minutes and wishing it was longer. I admire people with musical talent and it's so sad when their lives are cut short. Thanks for sharing. Sorry for the loss of your friend.
Pete, Thankyou for this upload. It must have been really difficult to do this video, but you must know it is so much appreciated. By everyone.. As we're all in shock, I think the world is grieving together... Chris influenced a whole generation with his music and soul, but not only that, he was definitely one of the all-time greats... Sadly another legend and pure, honest talent that will be sorely missed.. Our thoughts are with you mate - Take care.
SUCH A SAD LOSS!!!! A Real Artist, a Great Mind, a Wonderful Heart, an Amazing Musician, Singer, Writer: A RARE CREATIVE SOUL!!!! RIP CHRIS. (Thanks for Sharing Pete).
I've been a long time fan of yours Pete. Sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing your stories. :(
I'm so very sorry for your loss Pete. I feel so so sorry for his family too. Love to everyone
Thanks for sharing your memories.
Certainly comforting to hear your words again.
Thank you for sharing your memories. I needed that. I am broken
If this was painful to me i cant imagine how much hurt you must be feeling, much light and peace for you, Chris is now legend.
I cried when I heard it on kroq Thursday morning. my 1st thought was "not another one!"😭 hearing that he took his own life made my heart hurt💔 I didn't know Chris but I can imagine for his friends and family it's devastating.
I’ve been missing him a lot lately. I was lucky enough to see you all play in Detroit in 2007. I was fortunate enough to sit through the sound check and attend the meet and greet after the show. You all meshed so well together. ♥️
thank you so much for sharing your memories, I smiled and cried the whole video. thank you again. rip Chris.
thanks for sharing those memories Pete, saw you with him in Chile. All of you blew me away, thanks for the music and Chris will always be remembered :(
Beautiful man. I saw you play with Chris, seeing him was one of my big dreams. We are all better because he was here.
Thank you for sharing your stories of Chris. I enjoyed them very much. He will be sorely missed.
I am so heart broken for the loss of your amazing friend. He was one of a kind and one of the foremost front-men of my generation. A devastating loss for rock in general. Thank you for sharing. Be well, friend.
I really feel for you Pete. We have all lost an incredible artist but you have lost a close friend. Peace and best wishes.
Lovely to hear you share your memories Pete. ❤️
god i wish he was still with us. ur stories touched me. we not only lost a creative genius, but also a warm soul. RIP chris. thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Pete. That was beautiful! You will always have those memories & nothing can take them away. ❤ Hugs, Tammy Mesa, AZ R.I.P, dear Chris ⚘
So sorry for the loss of your friend. You helped me as a distraught fan get through another tragic loss. He came across like you describe him. God Bless...
That era of Chris Cornell and your band was the most amazing era. I saw him in Soundgarden twice before they split. Was amazing. Saw him with Audioslave. Amazing. With you guys, his solo band, I saw you guys a few times, every time was Awesome and he seemed really happy and you guys were always on point. I know many will disagree but to me that was the best I ever witnessed. It was the best of Cornell, from Soundgarden, Audioslave, and solo material, and you guys made it amazing. Thank you.
Thank u Bill, I have so much respect for SG and for the Audioslave guys, as well as Alain and everyone involved in creating Euphoria Morning and his catalog of solo material, we really just tried to do our best to play the songs that those guys created, as well as we could, so Chris could present music from his whole career. It was an honor to play the music.
I was at that belgian festival gig, one of my favourite concerts ever. Thank you so much for your work and this video.
Me too! I have a great pic I snapped from side stage of Steven Tyler sticking his vocal mic on the grille of Brad Whitford's 4-112" when brad took a solo. Such a fun night.
I am moved beyond words. Thank you so much for sharing these memories with us. Wonderful stories. 🖤
Thank you for posting this! My deepest condolences for the loss of your friend. His music meant so much to so many of us, but I can only imagine how much his friendship meant to you.
Sorry for your loss Pete. We are all in shock and mourning . Loved his talent!
Great Stories.Very lucky man to been able to play with him.Peace put from Australia.🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thank you so much for sharing. Can't imagine how you feel.
Rest in peace, Chris.
Great stories thank you Pete for telling them through your heart hurting
any thing that makes you feel better in this terrible time, my friend. thanks for sharing your and chris's story.
Nice to hear it from a musician point of wiew. Pete Thorn sems like a great pal as well! take care
Still come back to this Pete. He always seemed like a hidden person. It’s nice to hear these stories of your friendship with him. Cheers 🍻
Thank you. Meant a lot to hear those stories and experiences.
Thanks for this video.
I have had trouble with depression and illness since 2007 and listening to you made me appreciate Chris more, and what he meant to you and his fans as well.
I sometimes struggle with suicidal thoughts and medications prescribed to me have at times made the issue a whole lot worse.
Hearing the news of what happened is a hurdle we all have to jump now, as dealing with loss and our own demons at the same time is not easy to do.
My thoughts go out to his family, friends and his fans.
there is that...but the other side it a lot of people NEED meds to function. The problem with your attitude is that it will eventually lead to people that need them not being able to get them.
You have a point but a very small point. Very few know the pros and cons like me and i can tell you that 3/4 of the time a better diet ,hydration(as insane as that sounds) and excerise can help so much. It is SO easy to throw your brains chemical compound off and we cross paths with these things daily. Red food coloring can do crazy things to a person, particularly young people. But of course many still need meds. Chris was a recovering addict and ativan was the very last thing he needed. Fuck these dr's for giving it to him.VERY powerful drug and has been rid of in many areas such as mine. They literally hospitalized tons of people and detoxed them......that should tell us all the dangers of this "medicine"

yes its sometimes a cattle call with these Dr's.. just experimenting with
$ to see how the hampster's (subjects as they call them) responds.. it has to stop!..
I've seen so many "ups and Downs" with peeps I've known its just dumb
best Therapy so far is to not treat them like freaks FFS !
embrace their higher intellect and have a beer and a burger and a Laugh with them!
they would rather talk about How to best plant Tulips ?.. than social issues
I feel for all that suffer what Chris dealt with..and still do
Bravo, you are a fighter as Chris Cornell was.
What you say about medicines, some people don't want to hear it.
But the victims of medicine are a lot and ready.
Their family and doctors against industrial madness too.
Psychiatrists have long-known that benzodiazepines can cause addiction and brain damage.
If one person feel sad and you give to him a toxic substance, it can not get better!
We know it with heroin, we know it with benzodiazepines.
Here an interesting article
The fact is that anxiety is not an illness, and drugs that dissipate anxiety are not medications - they are drugs.
Anxiety is not an illness. It is a normal human response to ambiguous or potentially challenging or dangerous situations.
People who take these drugs as a routine measure to insulate themselves from life’s multi-variate challenges and vicissitudes are not medicated. They are stoned.
And the great irony here is that everybody knows this.
The individuals know it; their family members know it; their friends and co-workers know it; the psychiatrists themselves know it. And the street pushers who obtain benzos illegally know it.
no practitioners could prescribe these drugs as a daily “treatment” for anxiety if psychiatry had not, in the first place, promoted the false message that anxiety is an illness.
No doctor could prescribe these products for these purposes if psychiatry had not invented, packaged, and sold their various anxiety “diagnoses.”
When psychiatry embarked on its great mission to medicalize every conceivable human problem, they basically drove the bus off the cliff .
Mental health today is still in a state of uncontrolled free fall.
And every time we hit an outcropping, or the bus turns end over end, psychiatry says:
“Oh dear! How did that happen?”
Well it happened because organized psychiatry put money and prestige above intellectual and moral integrity.
The damage this has done, and continues to do, is beyond reckoning.
(end)
What happens with them it is exactly what happens with banks : humans = numbers = money
Thank you so much Mr. Thorn. It is amazing to listen these beautiful stories and emotions.
One of the best parts of inhabiting the music world that I've enjoyed very much is just how lovely and special I have found other musicians to be as people. You're right up there Pete. Wish you were my friend . . .Chris was lucky in that respect.
Thank you, Pete, for everything you share with us. Much love to you through this trial and beyond.
such a sad loss, the world will always remember his passion.
ive been around music my whole life and not one part was not compared to Chris's passion, , but now is not the time for plugs, (LOW LIFES) a deep heartfelt love for a man who inspired so many is what is needed.. damn man we all lost an amazing talent and a person who would project our feelings and jam out to his work.. what a sad day.
Thank you for this vid. I feel like I lost my dad. Chris music was the soundtrack to much of my early life
+Venom Overlord I feel like that too man.

Thank you for doing this, Pete. I'm so very sorry for your, our, loss. The way you speak of him makes it so apparent that he was a great friend to you. I only knew Chris as fan, but his death really hit hard because his music was very much a part of my life's soundtrack. Every song is attached to moments in my life. When I hear them, my mind kind of transports me back to that time and place whether it be a happy moment or even a sad one. That is the power of good music I guess.
As an aspiring guitarist, I look up to your skills and your work ethic as a goal to reach. Chris gives me that same inspiration as an aspiring vocalist. In my opinion he has the perfect male voice with a range most mortals will only dream about. Few can convey emotion in every note they sing.
I'll stop blabbering now, just know that musicians like yourself and Chris leave lasting impressions on your fans. By doing what you do, you can't ever truly leave this Earth. As long as they make music players, the bounds of mortal life can't limit you.
Take care.
Thanks for sharing this Pete. On top of hopefully being therapeutic for you, the personal stories are a way of paying forward his kindness to the rest of us in addition to all the incredible music he left behind.
I think in a day and age where everyone seems cynical or can be rude, it was brave of you to share your intimate thoughts. It will be these stories that help add to the beauty that was Cornell. Chris did this for the life of Andrew Wood and now you are doing it for Chris. You had a rare experience with Chris most of us could only dream about.. and you shared it. This video is the best tribute to Chris I have come across. Thank you for sharing yourself and being so candid. Mad respect to and for you. Rest in peace, Chris.
Thanks man. I know what you mean, the world can be so cynical these days, it's just overwhelming. And people say things from behind a keyboard they'd never say to someone's face, which is sad. But I believe most people out there, by far, are good people! Chris was a great guy with a big heart and he treated everyone with respect, which was always really heartwarming to see. there was a guy on our crew for awhile that was a 'survivalist' type guy- stockpiling ammo and supplies in the woods for some coming apocalypse he believed was inevitable- preparing a fortress to escape to. Chris told me, "if that happened, wouldn't you want to stay behind and help old people, and sick people?" Yup. he was like that.
Pete, I hope you keep sharing these unique stories that no one of us will ever be able to experience. I have been digging and downloading several live outakes of Chris (and you!) performing songs from his Scream album which... to me is my favorite album. It really shows a side of him musically I had never seen. I was never a huge Soundgarden fan and that is just me being honest. I was hugely into Mother Love Bone and Alice in Chains. Somehow when I was going thru my divorce his Scream album just spoke volumes to me. And Im not a new fan of Chris'. Ive known about him since early days of Soundgarden and Temple of the Dog. Im 45 and as much as I dont want to admit this Ive been selective over what songs of his blew me away. It was hit or miss but somehow with him being gone now each song takes on new meaning for me. For some odd reason. i am rediscovering Soundgarden and even some odd Audioslave stuff that is now hitting me differently yet positively. Thanks for sharing another story of Chris bc it gives me the though that he saw a much bigger picture and his heart seemed huge. i only saw him live once and it was in Des Moines, IA during his solo tour. i have since seen a ton of live Scream outakes and have to say man, you play the guitar fantastically and its a real honor to share thoughts with ya. I hope during this time of loss you realize you are being thought of. Please take care.
Hey Pete, I never followed Sound Garden or Chris Cornell over the years. But I have so much respect for you the person that we see weekly and the great friend to Chris. I think you needed to let everyone know that the world lost a very good human being! I watched this video originally 7 years ago and it is still very touching today. Ironically, Chris probably has more fans now than ever before and thanks to you, I became one.
Watching this 5 years on. Still miss him so much as a fan, can only imagine how much you still miss him as a friend.

Thank you for sharing your stories, Pete. I not only feel like I know more of the personal side of Chris Cornell, but also more of the personal side of you.
