Same here. As a kid in the 90's, Nirvana was everything to me. Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun was one of my favorite songs but their music didn't fully connect with me until I hit about 30. I still find myself in awe of his music, Chris was able to create these beautiful yet dark tapestries in your mind with his melodies and lyrics that evoke such powerful emotions that have actually brought me to tears; I consider myself so very lucky to have been born in a time when Chris Cornell's voice existed. I still have a mixture of sadness and gratitude when I listen to his music.
Was not expecting to get a lot from this video, but turns out I did. I should have learned by now to never underestimate Chris's wisdom and insight! I wanted her to ask more in-depth questions, but Chris kind of went for the depth on his own anyway. Fantastic clip.

@Laniakea " If the pain subsides in death, I wouldn’t want help to keep living." I hear what you're saying, but there cannot possibly be less pain in death. Pain is emotional and/or physical, to feel relief is another feeling. In other words, you have to be alive to feel it. People typically fall back on "You cannot prove otherwise, therefore it is true."
@@gazzarafalemozzy4766 He absolutely did need help, we all need help. Its very obvious not only from his music, but by exactly what he is saying in these interviews. When he speaks of children being without concern about what concerns adults implies he longed for innocence of not caring about the struggles of life. We all feel that way at some point, but part of life, which makes it worth living, is the struggle. Theres not a single person on this planet, with a deep thought in their mind, that did not come to those thoughts without some personal struggle. The way I see it, death is absolutely essential for life to have meaning. Our species gets bored very easily, which is both a blessing and a curse.
From the 1st interview, you have to wonder what kind of a mood he was in to be so open. He must have felt so conflicted about being famous himself. It's not surprising that he couldn't feel comfortable in this world, people like him never do - they transcend the world that we're in. It's a loss for all of us left behind.
Great interviews. Chris was so real & transparent in both interviews (like others viewed on CZcams). Intriguing how Chris Cornell viewed/expressed life in this physical world, his view of the spiritual world, life after death. One of the all time best rock vocalist of our lifetime. R.I.P. always, Chris. Millions miss you...here on planet earth.
Chris is so wise!!! its so true why do we put our energy to stuff thats unnecessary like whats that person(celeb) is doing, what their wearing , trying to expose that celeb's personal life or secret(tabloids). In a recent Keanu Reeves interview, he's talking about what happens after we die and he said 'I know that the ones that loves us, will miss us'
Wow, I had the same thoughts going in my head for a long time - a lot of my peers tend to invest so much time and energy seeking “what’s behind the veil” that they forget about all the wonderful things that this physical world has to offer.
I personally belief in life after death, heaven, hell, etc. but I really appreciate his perspective on the here and now and how we shouldn't lose focus on how miraculous this dimension of experience really is. Excellent point and often overlooked especially when the now is perceived as something either to be endured, overcome, etc., to get to the "next thing". Be miraculous today.

Have no idea what happens after we die or what it was like before but it seems very unlikely nothing will happen, doesn't make much sense that we pop into existence for this short little time and go into dark oblivion.
There is no afterlife. Only thing that exists is the here and now. As far as what actually "exists" outside of this realm, is nothing more than a debate, a conversation of all the possibilities that exist or is present outside of the physical realm. What exists in the unknown is nothing more than our own imagination or interpretations based from our beliefs, values and morals of that "existence". The unknown is simply just that. It's unknown.
Shakir Henderson You contradicted yourself. You start with there is no afterlife and end with the unknown is just that it's unknown! You see, it can't be disproved so you can't say there is no afterlife. Have you died and come back here? Most likely not from your comment, so you don't know what happens after we leave this body! To me, personally, I believe there is something after because it makes absolutely no sense to be plunked here on this earth for 60 70 80 years and then nothing! Jokes on all of us if that is the case! Why do some live richly while others don't even have clean water? I mean really what is the point of being here? Makes absolutely no sense what so ever! My choice is to believe there is an after and have a faith, and let's say I'm wrong, well at least I believed and had faith in something after better than this place!
Be in the moment..be like children.theres magic in that.made me think of my 7-8 yr old boys and how excited they are about life..brought tears to my eyes. thanks Chris RIP brother🖤
Grande Cornell! La primera parte fue memorable, escuchar sus reflexiones y sentimientos acerca de la vida. No recuerdo haberlo visto hablar asi en otra entrevista. Simplemente genial. Y de seguro ahora ya despejaste todas tus dudas al respecto que ocurre despues de que nos toca partir de aqui. Se te recuerda con cariño amigo. :)
In the first interview, he gives one of the most coherent & thoughtful answers to a question that i've ever heard. A glimpse, i suppose, into the powerfully poetic, deeply perceptive mind that was capable of creating such a wonderful body of work. Chris Cornell has given so much more to the world than it could have given back. I believe he is one of the rare people whose influence on our civilization will remain relevant & appreciated for many years. Assuming of course that we, as a species, manage to learn how to stop taking more from the world than our civilization can endure. We can't wipe out life or permanently destroy the Earth's ecosystem, but we certainly are capable of removing ourselves from the equation.
RIP chris i love you so much honestly your music has gotten me through depression i know youre some place special right now and a place that is better than this Earth
Regardless what Chris' viewpoints are on spirituality, I find comfort knowing he is in a much better place without pain and suffering. I truly believe in God..... and I also believe Chris is with him.... that's my comfort. Save me a seat a the big table Chris, put in the good word for me.... and tell Layne, Andy, Mike, Kurt and the many many others Thank You from this fan! God Loves Grunge!!!
I was fortunate to see Chris Cornell on the Euphoria morning tour in 1999.. saw him three times with Audioslave and once with Soundgarden... he will always remain one of the greatest singers to have ever graced our planet.. him and Layne Staley... both Soulful Giants ...RIP my brothers.. I can't forget Chester either
It is often the case that very intellectual, articulate, wise, humble and kind people end up taking their own life. I honestly do not know what to believe when it comes to the cirumstances of his death.
I remember watching this interview when it was first uploaded. I didn't pay much attention to it at first but listening to it again helps me look back to Chris's insightful views of spirituality. But I'm not part of the bandwagon that gives celebrities more attention when they pass away, I just didn't think much of this interview at the time but I respect all interviews of his including this one. Thank you Grunge Scene.
I love you Chris and miss you deeply, but everything you just described is what 'spirituality' is; being in the moment, appreciating all that is before us!
That's the fact why I adore Chris' approach to music in an outstanding accordance with life. Real thing. Supreme artist & philosopher , one in a billion. My love to the higher truth of this particularly spiritual man. ♥️🌏🌹
Chris tells it as he sees it his music is so deep as he is to me very spiritual in his own right what a man what a gift he had he healed many with his amazing voice. Xx
What was great about Chris, apart from his obvious talent, was that he was so unpretentious and actually enjoyed expressing his thoughts and beliefs in interviews with media people who were very often quite thick. In many interviews, you can hear and feel his down to earth sincerity. I think that trait alone encompasses a type of spirituality. It's just a terrible shame that he did what he did, and perhaps in some sad way, he was not aware of how valuable he really was. I think the music business and the medications really overwhelmed him to the point of no return. A wonderful man, and a great singer songwriter.
I don't believe that he denied GOD EVER! Foolish to assume that Chris did deny HIM. I believe that God has him right now and for the first time he is safe.
Ashley S. I agree, he converted to Greek Orthodox and was baptized so none of us know if he had a relationship with God. I believe he did because he didn't seem like a man who would do something like that just because of his wife! Everything he did was his choice and thought out and I think he chose God! I dont think I've ever heard him deny God in any interviews! You are right, he is finally safe!
R-Erin 2 Go , thanks and I agree with you also. In that, Chris was an intelligent man and his decisions were his own. I too believe he came to God on his own and I'm glad of it. And yes, I've never heard or read of Chris ever denying of God or Jesus existing or Chris denying a possible relationship with Them. We will be blessed one day and be reunited with our loved ones and we will love all.
The contrast in his voice and energy in these two interviews. But it's fascinating finding out his views are secular (as are mine). Without ever knowing this is where he stood on these issues, this artist who so inspired and inspires me saw such things in a similar way is kind of nice. In a world where most people still have beliefs in the supernatural, there's comfort in finding other people who prefer to take life as it comes and not live in fear or guess what may happen next - especially when you already feel a connection to that person!
He feels the spirit and subconsciously believes in it without given credit to the one who created it . There's another spirit fighting to keep him away from excepting truth and in the end embraced the denial of that truth.
Spirituality: Taking the position of sort of believing that there is something bigger than us 'out there' (whatever that means) because of the social stigma of not being affiliated with any religion or denomination.
He takes four and a half minutes to simultaneously explain a complex, spiritual thought process and say he doesn't believe in spirituality. This is why he's so brilliant. He's incredibly missed....
He was just in a place at that time where he was completely rejecting it. You can hear it all over his music. I'm sure he is in a better space now to embrace it.
@@dragonhed123 Not at all. Hence the mass spiritual awakening transpiring on this planet now. I believe that I know exactly what Chris was experiencing and why he felt the way he did at times. At this time, I'll refrain from elaborating.
If you actually listen to his response to the first question, it’s all in there. He’s basically just saying that to him, the existence of the metaphysical is self-evident, but he doesn’t like groups and labels, and doesn’t trust anyone who tries to push dogma on anyone else. A smart position to hold.
A sad ☹️ loss for humanity a true gentleman rest easy my fellow soul you helped me out in my childhood with your artistry and got me through the ole bad times with my demons a wonderfully inspiring soundtrack to my life as I write say hello 👋 to heaven is playing on my wonderful Alexa hope sincerely your at peace ✌️ with your wonderful fantastic friend Andrew Wood ✌️😇😇😇x
It sounds a lot like something that I might say after years of Zen practice (and especially influenced by Brad Warner's Hardcore Zen's way of speaking). Man I wish Chris were still around.
3:52 I've heard it all before. I grew-up with Chris Cornell in West Seattle, and he taught me to sing & write songs & we spent alot of time together. I love him with all my heart, but when he says... "When we die there's nothing left, no memories..." He's assuming & preaching it like it's truth. But he didn't know that, nor does anyone. AND... It's this kind of philosophy that treats life like it's nothing & makes it even easier to end it. [I have the right to say it, because I knew & loved him.]

Great video and thanks for the upload. Another thing that messed with my head was the spate of out of character,, shocking celebrity suicides...it's been almost like when the world is in your lap, you take the opportunity to end everything.... It's strange, but it became a tragic trend....almost like the victims had been told that this was the way forward with the ultimate reassurances and that Nirvana lies ahead( excuse the pun) for those who choose suicide...and like Hollywood Lemmings they jump at the chance ...this fucked with my head completely and still does from Cobain to Bordain...it's fucked up!!!!
@jon Smith. I agree! But van you imagine being ONE with everything? Like everything is made out of the Sun and you are one ray? And when the earth your Body is made of dies the energy goes back to the Sun and becomes one again. Look round you.... NOTHING JUST STOPS. day and night= ist there a real brake in between?

As far as what actually "exists" outside of this realm, is nothing more than a debate, a conversation of all the possibilities that exist or is present outside of the physical realm. What exists in the unknown is nothing more than our own imagination or interpretations based from our beliefs, values and morals of that "existence". The unknown is simply just that. It's unknown.
Shakir Henderson You contradicted yourself. You start with there is no afterlife and end with the unknown is just that it's unknown!
You see, it can't be disproved so you can't say there is no afterlife. Have you died and come back here? Most likely not from your comment, so you don't know what happens after we leave this body! To me, personally, I believe there is something after because it makes absolutely no sense to be plunked here on this earth for 60 70 80 years and then nothing! Jokes on all of us if that is the case! Why do some live richly while others don't even have clean water? I mean really what is the point of being here? Makes absolutely no sense what so ever! My choice is to believe there is an after and have a faith, and let's say I'm wrong, well at least I believed and had faith in something after better than this place!
Good luck. He believes there's, "NOTHING", in the end. Hope he has fun with that.
I got to meet him in 92. Very humble then. I asked him about open tunings and he was relieved i was a fanboy
Rest in peace Chris. We will always love you. Rock on, forever.
Be in the moment..be like children.theres magic in that.made me think of my 7-8 yr old boys and how excited they are about life..brought tears to my eyes. thanks Chris RIP brother🖤
Oh....such higher wisdom. He is dearly missed
Grande Cornell! La primera parte fue memorable, escuchar sus reflexiones y sentimientos acerca de la vida. No recuerdo haberlo visto hablar asi en otra entrevista. Simplemente genial.
Y de seguro ahora ya despejaste todas tus dudas al respecto que ocurre despues de que nos toca partir de aqui.
Se te recuerda con cariño amigo. :)
In the first interview, he gives one of the most coherent & thoughtful answers to a question that i've ever heard. A glimpse, i suppose, into the powerfully poetic, deeply perceptive mind that was capable of creating such a wonderful body of work. Chris Cornell has given so much more to the world than it could have given back. I believe he is one of the rare people whose influence on our civilization will remain relevant & appreciated for many years. Assuming of course that we, as a species, manage to learn how to stop taking more from the world than our civilization can endure. We can't wipe out life or permanently destroy the Earth's ecosystem, but we certainly are capable of removing ourselves from the equation.
RIP chris i love you so much honestly your music has gotten me through depression i know youre some place special right now and a place that is better than this Earth
Regardless what Chris' viewpoints are on spirituality, I find comfort knowing he is in a much better place without pain and suffering. I truly believe in God..... and I also believe Chris is with him.... that's my comfort. Save me a seat a the big table Chris, put in the good word for me.... and tell Layne, Andy, Mike, Kurt and the many many others Thank You from this fan! God Loves Grunge!!!
I was fortunate to see Chris Cornell on the Euphoria morning tour in 1999.. saw him three times with Audioslave and once with Soundgarden... he will always remain one of the greatest singers to have ever graced our planet.. him and Layne Staley... both Soulful Giants ...RIP my brothers.. I can't forget Chester either
No way did he kill himself. I call bulls+×t! Way too beautiful of a soul. Much love to his family.
Christopher Boyle. AKA Chris Cornell. No one will ever match or surpass you.
...Someday.....IN YOUR HOUSE.
I hate too break it to you but sadly he did kill himself
@@johnhenry3030 believe what you want... I will never believe it!
It is often the case that very intellectual, articulate, wise, humble and kind people end up taking their own life. I honestly do not know what to believe when it comes to the cirumstances of his death.
sure do miss him
4:00 him taking about his death still hurts
I think it always will, if only we knew what he was going to do maybe we could have helped
R.I.P. Oh Chris if you only knew NOW how you changed the Rock World and the Great Memories Forever
So glad I watched this
I need a hug from Chris Cornell
I remember watching this interview when it was first uploaded. I didn't pay much attention to it at first but listening to it again helps me look back to Chris's insightful views of spirituality. But I'm not part of the bandwagon that gives celebrities more attention when they pass away, I just didn't think much of this interview at the time but I respect all interviews of his including this one. Thank you Grunge Scene.
Wow, a man after my own heart. Much love 💕💎🌹
His music has been saving me this past year of hell thank you Chris
What a human being! Love you Chris... too bits
I love you Chris and miss you deeply, but everything you just described is what 'spirituality' is; being in the moment, appreciating all that is before us!
I loved this, dudes very insightful.
damn just made me Appreciate Nothingness in the Afterlife, cause it forces you to be the best, & most dope person in there here, & Now
That's the fact why I adore Chris' approach to music in an outstanding accordance with life. Real thing. Supreme artist & philosopher , one in a billion. My love to the higher truth of this particularly spiritual man. ♥️🌏🌹
So articulate in expressing the process of how his brain works. Couldn’t of said that train of thought better myself
Chris tells it as he sees it his music is so deep as he is to me very spiritual in his own right what a man what a gift he had he healed many with his amazing voice. Xx
This coffee helped save my life many, many times.
Such a calm, beautiful soul. I wish I knew more about him before he passed. You can tell he’s an amazing person.
Chris is doing concerts in Heaven now!
RIP Chris, we all miss you so much
2:20 - 2:50 so much truth
RIP Chris....Such an intelligent, beautiful human
What was great about Chris, apart from his obvious talent, was that he was so unpretentious and actually enjoyed expressing his thoughts and beliefs in interviews with media people who were very often quite thick. In many interviews, you can hear and feel his down to earth sincerity. I think that trait alone encompasses a type of spirituality. It's just a terrible shame that he did what he did, and perhaps in some sad way, he was not aware of how valuable he really was. I think the music business and the medications really overwhelmed him to the point of no return. A wonderful man, and a great singer songwriter.
demetrios3232 agreed. Well said.
I don't believe that he denied GOD EVER! Foolish to assume that Chris did deny HIM. I believe that God has him right now and for the first time he is safe.
Ashley S. I agree, he converted to Greek Orthodox and was baptized so none of us know if he had a relationship with God. I believe he did because he didn't seem like a man who would do something like that just because of his wife! Everything he did was his choice and thought out and I think he chose God! I dont think I've ever heard him deny God in any interviews! You are right, he is finally safe!
R-Erin 2 Go , thanks and I agree with you also. In that, Chris was an intelligent man and his decisions were his own. I too believe he came to God on his own and I'm glad of it. And yes, I've never heard or read of Chris ever denying of God or Jesus existing or Chris denying a possible relationship with Them. We will be blessed one day and be reunited with our loved ones and we will love all.
@Tonya Harmon I believe he had a faith in God is what I'm referring to. Not his death
This is sooooo real. I completely understand I always say these things to people and feel like I can’t get my point across 💔
I loved what he said
The contrast in his voice and energy in these two interviews.
But it's fascinating finding out his views are secular (as are mine). Without ever knowing this is where he stood on these issues, this artist who so inspired and inspires me saw such things in a similar way is kind of nice.
In a world where most people still have beliefs in the supernatural, there's comfort in finding other people who prefer to take life as it comes and not live in fear or guess what may happen next - especially when you already feel a connection to that person!
Miss Him
What Chris means is: I am. That’s it. Live.
I Love u Chris
He's in..
Our hearts.
Chris, you nailed it.
He feels the spirit and subconsciously believes in it without given credit to the one who created it . There's another spirit fighting to keep him away from excepting truth and in the end embraced the denial of that truth.
Spirituality: Taking the position of sort of believing that there is something bigger than us 'out there' (whatever that means) because of the social stigma of not being affiliated with any religion or denomination.
He was extremely intelligent and open to great ideas I am so sorry that he left so soon
He takes four and a half minutes to simultaneously explain a complex, spiritual thought process and say he doesn't believe in spirituality. This is why he's so brilliant. He's incredibly missed....
He was just in a place at that time where he was completely rejecting it. You can hear it all over his music. I'm sure he is in a better space now to embrace it.
@@musicmavenpublishing2265 Yeah, he once said something about here on God's green earth and I've seen a photo of him wearing a crucifix.
@@musicmavenpublishing2265wait hes dead tho are you saying you have to die to apreciate spirtuality? If so thats kinda messed up.
@@dragonhed123 Not at all. Hence the mass spiritual awakening transpiring on this planet now. I believe that I know exactly what Chris was experiencing and why he felt the way he did at times. At this time, I'll refrain from elaborating.
@@musicmavenpublishing2265I don't think you can really know what he was going through or what he believed
what a great man...
Banana -Rama- Ding -Dong.
Love our brother Chris.
Simple truth. I have been saying that for years.
I love you Chris
SO COOL...much love tee with LIONS NAMED LEO,,,,,[the band]
I love you and I miss you always my sweet CC 😢🔥🖤🌊❤️(jmagr)
Chris Cornell talking about a banana is exactly what I needed today
If you actually listen to his response to the first question, it’s all in there. He’s basically just saying that to him, the existence of the metaphysical is self-evident, but he doesn’t like groups and labels, and doesn’t trust anyone who tries to push dogma on anyone else. A smart position to hold.
He was SSOOO quick to say no. Like is anyone else realize g he starts saying no before she gets done asking him.
A sad ☹️ loss for humanity a true gentleman rest easy my fellow soul you helped me out in my childhood with your artistry and got me through the ole bad times with my demons a wonderfully inspiring soundtrack to my life as I write say hello 👋 to heaven is playing on my wonderful Alexa hope sincerely your at peace ✌️ with your wonderful fantastic friend Andrew Wood ✌️😇😇😇x
I totally get u about kids 🥰
It sounds a lot like something that I might say after years of Zen practice (and especially influenced by Brad Warner's Hardcore Zen's way of speaking). Man I wish Chris were still around.
3:52 I've heard it all before. I grew-up with Chris Cornell in West Seattle, and he taught me to sing & write songs & we spent alot of time together. I love him with all my heart, but when he says... "When we die there's nothing left, no memories..." He's assuming & preaching it like it's truth. But he didn't know that, nor does anyone. AND... It's this kind of philosophy that treats life like it's nothing & makes it even easier to end it. [I have the right to say it, because I knew & loved him.]

May 18 2021 2:01am thinking of you chris
Genius through and through.
Everything he said true. Kids yes how they naturally simplify everything is true, Celebrity obsession is sick. He died a day after my birthday . RIP. I'll never forget you.
What a Legend!
Wise boy
He probably would have loved/did love Taoism and meditation. His suicide damn near broke my heart as he was one of my heroes.
I'll always love Chris Cornell, Only just realised that he had a good pinch of Jeff Goldblum about him though!
YOU THINK?? Chris wow taking life for granted?? and memories were great and miss this man so much
Great video and thanks for the upload. Another thing that messed with my head was the spate of out of character,, shocking celebrity suicides...it's been almost like when the world is in your lap, you take the opportunity to end everything....
It's strange, but it became a tragic trend....almost like the victims had been told that this was the way forward with the ultimate reassurances and that Nirvana lies ahead( excuse the pun) for those who choose suicide...and like Hollywood Lemmings they jump at the chance ...this fucked with my head completely and still does from Cobain to Bordain...it's fucked up!!!!
@jon Smith.
I agree! But van you imagine being ONE with everything?
Like everything is made out of the Sun and you are one ray?
And when the earth your Body is made of dies the energy goes back to the Sun and becomes one again.
Look round you....
NOTHING JUST STOPS.
day and night= ist there a real brake in between?
Cold and hot?
Its all fluent and combined
Its the universal power and conciusness
Having the world in your lap isn't the cure-all for deep human woes that our culture would have us believe it is.
Chris showed clear signs of depression for years before his suicide. He was truly too smart for his own good
He could see miracles
Oh, I wish I knew you when I was young...And, you were alive.
