First - yeah, that's pretty cool for a kid, but I would be a bit grossed out now myself! Great story, though!I've been a fan since the early nineties. I saw them opening for Guns N Roses in '92 in Rotterdam and was standing in front of the stage. Chris Cornell spat from the stage, right on my head. At the time i thought that was really cool, bragged to all my friends, '' Chris Cornel spat in my hair!'' Now i would find that really disgusting of course...
If it is suicide, and it's really starting to look that way, it's really tragic. I was watching the YouTube clips from the last Soundgarden show in Detroit, hard to believe he actually committed suicide a few hours later...
Second - I will go ahead and just voice that while many reports are saying a possible suicide, it could have been just a tragic accident. Thinking of Michael Hutchence of INXS.
