In my younger years, I was struggling with addiction and had the opportunity to talk with Brent for a bit. The words that Brent spoke were nothing but pure and I genuinely feel like he played a big part in me accepting change and getting the help I needed. I have a feeling Chris was to Brent what Brent is to me, if that makes sense. Both incredible people with so much to offer to the world. I'm so grateful we have so much incredible music from Chris to remember him by and I'm so grateful we're still receiving absolute masterpieces from Brent to this day.

This video reminds me how much I'd LOVE for you to do more Chris Cornell reactions: whether that's Soundgarden, Audioslave, or solo material. Please react to more Chris. Your appreciation for his greatness as a singer is a joy to see.

Chris Cornell is really just all over the board, he can hit some low notes, and he can sing some insanely high notes as well... We lost a great artist on that day. He will not be forgotten! Rest in Peace to the late... The Great Chris Cornell.

I love hearing my favorite musicians talk about my other favorite musicians. It's such a beautiful thing.

[RandyHanley]

I can hear it in his voice, his singing, Brent is such a DAMN Great Human Being.

[WaspHokie]

Miss ya everyday Chris!

Really appreciate Brent putting it out there front and center for us all to hear!

[briangreene]

Chris Cornell was great. No doubt. Brent Smith and Shinedown ... has saved me a few times out of bad times.

[michowski]

It was after a show and I was lucky enough to get a moment to talk to Brent and I was one of those people who got to tell him, the band, the music they created and the message they tell saved me and then told them all thank you. He immediately got out of his seat, came and gave me a hug and thanked me for sharing and was genuinely appreciative of hearing that and of me being a fan. Music is the most important thing in the world. It is truly the only thing I have ever seen bring people of all faiths, colors, backgrounds together and all of the worlds problems just disappear for that evening and we are all just one big family. There is truly nothing else that can do that.

The passing of Chris Cornell really hit me hard. See, I met the man once (many years ago). It was at a house party in Seattle and we talked for a few moments, nothing really memorable in the conversation but Chris was magnetic, charismatic, and most importantly… himself. I miss hearing that splendid voice wailing out notes I couldn’t even try.

This is so emotional hearing Brent Smith talk about Chris Cornell. 😢

[TananJess]

Shinedowns interaction with fans is unmatched the way they connect and involve the fans and make that personal connection is top notch.

[kajlennartsson]

In memory of Chris Cornell. (1964 - 2017). I still miss him ❤❤

[ssvrdln]

I remember watching the original full interview and this is the part that stuck out for me as a massive Chris Cornell fan, with Brent describing perfectly what all of us lost in his passing and how his art affected us. I shed a tear again watching how emotional Brent was as he described the importance of Chris to him, just like I did when watching the full interview.
Makes me an even bigger Brent Smith & Shinedown fan than I was before knowing Chris has an influence in their music.

[Taureanfitness]

I was crushed when I heard Chris passed away. I was a huge fan of his ever since I was really young. He was just so talented and his voice graced the ears of thousands Never to be replicated.

[dougketner]

Chris Cornell is my favorite voacalist/artist ever. And to this day, I've still not grieved his death as I thought i would because it still does't feel real because he passed at the age I'm almost at I first heard Chris when I was 17. Soundgarden and Chris changed me, my view on music and helped inspire me to pursue playing music even if im not good.

[GobRogan]

I think about Chris every day. That will never stop.

Thanks for this Brent ❤and Elizabeth

I saw CC 2 yrs b4 his passing at the Uptown theater in Napa, California solo. He was amazing!!! He had an energy around him that was bright & beautiful! I along with everyone else there was mesmerized from his 1st note! He was kind, funny, gracious, humble & a master at singing, writing & composing!! He performed 2 & a half hours without a break & would have continued if not for a city ordinance about noise. I left that theater & was different & CCs passing affected me deeply. Like no other! Love from the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains!

Brent Smith is such a treasure of a human being... :) ♥

[jacovichstabs]

Thanks so much for telling this story, people need to hear how inspirational and impactful Chris Cornell was on so many people's lives and their own music and art.

When they first announced that he was gone, I was holding it together. Later that day when they said "took his own life", I just started bawling like a little kid.
