Chris Cornell "Like A Stone" REACTION & ANALYSIS by Vocal Coach / Opera Singer

2 роки тому

This was a Patron Choice selection for May, nominated and voted on by our patreon community after I released Temple of the Dog. Chris's voice had so much character and twang, I can't say I wasn't overjoyed when I saw this rise to the top of their list. We've had a lot of metal recently, so it's also super nice to get back to some acoustic, clean singing roots. This was such a treat!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Chris Cornell for the first time solo, performing "Like A Stone” Live acoustically.

Only acoustic I have seen Chris play live was when he came out on stage partway through him with Soundgarden's set with a beautiful black 12 string acoustic and sang and played Black hole sun solo.. It is truly one of the top live moments of my passion for playing and watching live music.. I think it was mid 90's, lollapoluza at green mtñ racetrack in Vermont. Great lineup and show that year, although was REALLY hoping and praying AIC would have made it, but unfortunately us hardcore fans knew things were not good with Layne, another absolute tragedy... Anyway, Chris and Layne are absolutely top tier, some of the greatest of all time IMO...

@Chillin4030 6 місяців тому

Chris, Chester, Kurt, Layne, I'm probably missing a few. They were all in pain. Creativity requires adversity. Whether that be the pain from depression or some other mean. When I was depressed I had some extremely creative drive that seemingly came out of no where. Since the depression has left, so has the creative drive. It's weird how it works but it just does.

@bassmunk 6 місяців тому

@@Chillin4030 Makes total sense, I went through the same thing. When I was in a really, really heathy time in my life I realized that the need to express myself through music was almost non existent cuz I was being heard and acknowledged by those around me. So the urge subsided quite a bit. This inevitably changes the type of music you'll want to play.

@SeanEnginetechnology 5 місяців тому

Strange how that works - having been in an abusive relationship I had all but stopped playing guitar and singing the little I could for over 10 freaking years, like a switch, even though I have been massively depressed at times, but super grateful for the 2 beautiful children I have from that mess so I am very happy when I have them.. but I've been playing and singing constantly for the last few months and so very glad to see the 20'isu years of guitar playing coming back a little and my range improving while singing.. God willing things will keep getting better, my children need me, í could never leave them stuck with that mother, she is truly a horrible person so I do everything I can to protect them from her and her temper... Sorry for the book, much love and thank God for the music ❤️🙏❤️🙏

Always been a Rush and Metallica Fan, but it amazing how much Grunge changed the music history at the time. To this day I can remember being an electrician on a job site and one of my apprentices played Teen Spirit by Nirvana. It was a song at the time that touched your Soul. No Label, No AutoTune, Limited Radio Play, Just KICK ASS MUSIC. Where is the Nirvana/Radiohead/Stone Temple Piolets/Sound Garden/Pearl Jam of Today. There ISNT one. Every band is a picture perfect homogenized autotuned POS.Where are the singers, where are the Bass Players, Where are the drummers. Its just some Lead Singer PoS that looks good and has AutoTune. Want to see REAL talent watch Stevie Ray Vaughn live at the El Mocambo. Then tell me your millennial POS is a "Musician"

The interview covered a lot of facets of opera and personae of several opera singers. At the end, the host asked the opera coach who her favorite singer was. I expected to hear Pavarotti or Leontyne Price - someone like those. She said, without hesitation: "Chris Cornell."

@northwoodfalls1403 2 роки тому

The famous vocal coach for some of our most iconic rock voices ( Ann Wilson, Geoff Tate, Layne Staley to name a few), David Kyle ( The “Maestro”) was also Chris’ vocal coach. Chris, like Ann, didn’t like doing a lot of vocal drills or traditional warm ups, etc. He often practiced his songs by just driving around in his car, singing to himself, or like Ann does, putting on some other artist whom he enjoyed and singing along to them. But he was well trained. The natural quality of his voice was haunting, though. No one can teach you what he could do with his voice and I think of all the brilliant grunge vocalists, Chris was ethereal. A lot of them had these sounds that seemed ugly on first listen but they kept you coming back for more and it was then that you discovered their vulnerability and sensitivity. I appreciate this time in music more and more the older I get. It was a powerful time for those of us who were in those angsty, turbulent teenage/college age years when it took the world by storm. So many of us are instantly transported to a complicated, bittersweet moment in time when we revisit these songs. It’s really satisfying to witness your own journey with grunge. Thank you for having been so open to it ☺️

@rustycr0w 2 роки тому

What's amazing about Cornell's voice is, when he's singing softer or lower notes it sounds raw and tight, almost like he's straining. His notes fade out, drop off and sort of float away. But then he effortlessly opens up to these massive highs with amazing power and ease, just buttery smooth, bang on pitch every time. He has the control to just dance around the melody, never hitting a note out of place, almost like he's just naturally flowing through the notes. And he manages to put so much emotion and tell a whole story through a song just with the tone of his voice. That, to me, is the mark of a genuinely unique artist. Absolute fucking legend.

@VanderWoodson Рік тому

Thank you for this. I too teared up listening. I’ve always loved his voice - but didn’t have the technical expertise to describe how and why it impacted me so deeply. You absolutely nailed it.

Hopefully (or not) he held on for 15 years after this song. His hanging on the the door of his hotel room led chester bennington to do the same because they were more than best friends, they were soulmates. The death note of chester "was I just couldn't live a life without you , but this I think you know it. They were more than friends, they were brothers like. that's why Chester's death note was not even for his family but just "Icould'nt live a life without you". I did'nt know them perfectly until they died in 2017, which was a very tough year to me. you know how it feels... That's why, even 6 years later, every song of them makes me cry sometimes.
