Weak. I met soundgardn during the height of their fame when I was like 13 and super into them.

My aunt who lived in Boston (natick for any mass holes here) knew the drummer since childhood. 3 of them showed up when we went out to dinner one night including Cornell.

Nicest guys ever to a 13 yo brace faced dork. Signed a napkin for me and they paid for the dinner.

RIP to an awesome musician and class act.

Edit: the guitar player was not there. I always really liked his Rasputin look.

My mom always said, 'turn that shit down, please'.
LOL My parents solved that dilemma by never allowing 'those' records in the house. My owned records, as a youth in the 60's, consisted of; The Singing Nun, Doris Day, and the Readers Digest music compilation. I borrowed a friends Cream Disraeli Gears and was put on restriction, not that that really changed anything because if I wasn't out playing army, basketball, surfing or hardball with the guys. I was usually in a tree reading. So I caught up on my reading list.

This was long after I was an adult and had to drive them somewhere and they decided to click one of my car's presets. No good deed goes unpunished.

It's really unfortunate that drug addiction to opiates (heroin, prescription pills, etc.) is most likely the root of this mans short life. Always makes me question how oxy contin is marketed as a safe pain killer. It's basically time released heroin at a higher cost...
what does one thing have to do with another? he hung himself, he didn't od or anything like that.. he's suffered with depression his entire life..
