I was the Singer of the band (Sunburn) Hawaii who opened up for their last show in Hawaii. My first big show, watching my favorite band break up in front of me. Such a surreal night that still is a blur. See you in heaven Chris.

Also I was hanging out with Ben Shepherd 2 days before at the former Red Lion Waikiki. And he said he was cynical and didn’t want to talk about the tour or the upcoming show. ( my biggest most important show of my Life) then he hit on my girlfriend. Lol crazy. Wow

I think its great that soundgarden members grew up and all became great , easy going people later on. They were rockstars, but still down to earth. Cornell is one of the greatest writers and singers ever and everyone in the band are amazing musicians.

I was in the front row, at that 96 tour. Ramones, Soundgarden, metallica...... Ben was pissed. he walked off stage a few times. during blackhole sun he walked off stage, and so did the whole band. Cornell sang the song alone on stage.... Ben was throwing water bottles at the crowd. it was scary.

I saw them 96 in Berlin, Chris did Black Hole Sun by himself there too. I don't recall anyone leaving the stage being upset, so I guess Chris singing it by himself might have been agreed upon some time prior.

Great interview. Wish the guy on bottom left would STOP cutting-in to try to be funny.

It's rare to hear someone speak candidly about soundgarden. The story has always been that Ben was frustrated because his equipment broke down. Seems that wasn't the case.

@ObsidianLife

Yeah, I was at the Oakland show a few days before...Ben (who has become one of my favorite Bass players and is a BRILLIANT musician) was CLEARLY in a bad place...he stopped playing during "Jesus Christ Pose" and started pointing his bass at the sound board like a riffle...then he threw down his Bass and stormed off stage. Having been a roadie, I never bought the "equipment" excuse. A band at that scale has back ups. He was just going through a mental illness phase. He seemed MUCH better during the second wave of SG. Hope he's good today...

I saw them at their 2nd last show in sydney(horden pavillion)on that tour,i was 17 and very disappointed,they played like shit,Burden in my hand' was out of tune,guitars were sloppy and out of tune,I sensed something was very wrong.

I was at that show & it was better than their performance at the BDO a few days earlier. Ben was very odd during that show even handing his bass out to the crowd. I wasn't surprised they broke up not long after that

I think that, given the reality of western collective subconscious bias, Kim reacted and maybe still reacts in a pretty expected manner.

Ben Shepard did mention having failed relationships with women and living in his car after the band broke up. As for Kim, he might’ve gotten too comfortable talking to this guy about what it’s like to be a poc in America, especially in the south. He’s older than I and has seen much more bigotry, I’m sure. Being a darker skinned person, I’ve experienced racism even in a northern state.
