Written during a turbulent time in Chris Cornell's life, the lyrics capture that visceral feeling of being trapped and wanting to "burn it all away" to start fresh. Between Tom Morello’s signature gritty guitar and Cornell’s powerhouse vocals, this track from their 2002 self-titled debut is a masterclass in hard rock.
Whether you’re looking to tear up a karaoke stage or just need that raw, heavy instrumental to drive to, "Gasoline" is the ultimate 2000s rock anthem.
The "House is haunted" opening line is an instant mood-setter. If you're practicing, focus on that explosive chorus: "Yeah, burning that gasoline... burning it all away."
