I had the pleasure of meeting Perry at the first Lollapalooza and he was taken aback when I told him I loved him...and I meant it.

[@OscarDeLeon-ig5nx]

I wish I could meet Perry and just thank him

[@susien7323]

Gave him a ride in my car during very first Lollapalooza. Found him at the hotel pool and brought him to the venue Shoreline Amphitheater in Mt View, CA

[@charlesdarwin7253]

I have to point out just how calm and composed the interviewer is here. So much more professional than most interviewers are that's for sure.

[@maxwelter9545]

Perry is such a weird brilliant-nut case and I am glad he's in this world!!

[@luisquintana2248]

Max Welter, not to mention his group is responsible for one of the greatest albums ever made. In my option.

[@maxwelter9545]

Oh my god yes!!! Ritual????

Chris Cornell died accidentally from autoerotic asphyxiation. It's amazing that everyone remains in denial of this fact and would rather believe unfounded conspiracy theories. Is this how you cope, by painting him as a hero who was ready to expose Illuminati pedophiles? If so, it begs the question, "why didn't he expose them already?" How much preparation does it take to speak up? But, you will believe that his supposed killers got to him before he could throw them under the bus. That makes no sense. He was just on a stage in front of thousands of fans, rocking out. Wouldn't that have been a good time to speak up? It's all in your imaginations. You guys would rather believe fairy tales instead of looking at the obvious story told by the evidence. Yes there is a suspicious cover up! His family would rather honor his name by having his death ruled a suicide, rather than shame him by calling it what it was: death by erotic asphyxiation. WAKE UP IDIOTS! You think you are rising above the deception, but you are only making it worse with your bogus stories. Every single time I hear this claim, it's by someone endlessly ranting with opinions of conspiracies but providing no evidence to prove that Chris Cornell was related to it in any way shape or form. Are there pedophiles in the world? Most certainly. Does that mean they killed Chris Cornell. NOT ON YOUR LIFE! You guys are so blinded by denial, as the truth is slapping you in the face: AUTO-EROTIC ASPHYXIATION DEATH. CASE CLOSED!

[@SuperSoFlow]

Nope. It was ruled a suicide. He was fully clothed and that is not the case in the type of deaths you speak of. Maybe you are in denial. Depression is a disease. Educate yourself. This is Suicide Prevention Month. An apt time to gain awareness.

[@DuspHasInfluenza]

@@BestBibleStories YOU ARE TOTALLY DELUSIONAL, NOT ANYONE ELSE WHO KNOWS CHRIS WAS SUICIDED. LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE OTHERS THAT SPOKE OUT...HUNG UP TO DRY!! AND HE WAS MAKING A DOCO TO OPEN PEOPLES EYES FIRST AND FOREMOST, TO ENLIGHTEN THEM TO WHAT IS CONTINUALLY GOING ON. BUT HE KNEW THEY'D GET TO HIM AND SILENCE HIM TOO!!

[@WildSkyMtn]

It's hard to believe chris Cornell formed soundgarden only 20 years after the Beatles debuted in early 60's. That's like from 1997 to now. He seemed timeless like some interdimensional being. Was he 52? My friends and I growing up teenagers in the early 90's always thought he was from like another galaxy. Or dimension. Some sign of the matrix. No one with that level of talent chooses to take the hardest path every time. Except him. The depth of practice skill and knowledge lost with this artist in particular is impossible to quantify. I'll go to my grave thinking his death was some sort of accident, he was messing around and slipped, or couldn't escape his own setup or something. His music was about overcoming darkness so he probably pushed himself to the edge on more than one occasion

[@SCOTTYPization]

btosky 100% Feel that!!!

[@TLGZOID]

scream bloody murder

[@getredytagetredy]

btosky....Messing around and slipped??? Cornell was murdered, (9 ribs were fractured and his skull had blunt force trauma which means a baseball bat or the like) because of his foundation against child pedophile murderers and torturers of children by these sick criminal satanic cunts.

[@WildSkyMtn]

coroner confirmed no trauma to the skull. Ribs break during cpr. Yes nine. I guess it's kind of cool and fitting there are conspiracy theories though. Rock and roll.

[@ixxgxx]

dude. Have you ever done CPR compressions on anyone? you break ribs. Thats a fact. In fact it is better to break ribs so you can compress the heart better and get blood to the brain. Get a life. EMS responders performed CPR and there was nothing about blunt force trauma in the forensic report.

[@Obabasu]

I cannot believe Perry is alive. He is a true legend.

[@susien7323]

Keep in mind he’s 61. Perhaps 58 at the time if interview also he’s clean now

[@F4GRAPHICS]

Did Perry just say he's developing an interactive gaming system based around Jane Says? What? Lmao

[@SuperSoFlow]

Lollapalooza 2003 was THE most Amazing experience to get to see and hear Audioslave, their first time out in DC. Perry's comment at six mins. 24 sec. is a bit odd though.

[@justmissjamey]

I don't think it's odd...people said the exact same since kurt passed back in 94

[@everybodylovesscout]

"I don't know what he was waiting for" ? yes...very odd comment...but then again, perrybis obviously an odd guy

[@modelsupplies]

Sonya Flowers - I agree. He sounds like he never met him. Talked about his "comeback"?! Chris made more music in his life than 100 Perrys. He said he doesn't know what took him so long? What an ignorant unfeeling statement. The interviewer did him a favor and steered the conversation away. I think I might drop JA from my playlists. That really pissed me off.

[@jacksonjxnatti596]

At this point...actually for a long time, Perry is just a capitalist stooge

[@scottlebrun6782]

Yes.... strangely put for sure

[@lisajeffs2395]

He doesn't know what Chris was waiting for? What a completely tactless way to talk about Chris's battle with depression!!!

[@earache70]

I caught that, too. I'm struggling to find a way he may not have meant it the way it comes off.

[@prettynoose8497]

How did Chris have any kind of impact on recent Lollapalooza's, especially since this year's was as far removed as possible from rock music? Was there even one single guitar at the entire show?

[@brianvaldez1746]

I feel Like Perry is right about Chris. The world moves on, but CC will definitely be missed. He was a depressed person for sure, his lyrics say it all.

[@CorzIlla]

perry is off with the fairies again..

[@micheleyenna198]

Chris was very enlighten,,if u listen to his words he not singing about suicide, he singing about the contract he signed &only way out is death,they killed him ,first grader could figure that out,with help of his lovely wife 😈

[@angeladavis1170]

Totally Agree. Chris Cornell didn't kill his self. He was Murdered. People Need to look at the Crime Scene and the Evidence. No Suicide. And I'm getting Tired of People Talking about Chris's Lyrics. Please. Every Good Song Writer Has Sad Songs. Chris Cornell wasn't Depressed. It is True He Was Leaving His Evil Satanists Witch Wife. Who Never Loved Chris Cornell only his money. Chris Loved His Kids and wouldn't do that to them. Neither would Chester Bennington. Justice for Both of them. Rip Beautiful Souls.

[@johncrawford]

Guys, let it go. It’s not a conspiracy. He took a bad combo of drugs and should not have been touring. Stop with the satanist nonsense. His wife is and was devastated. His kids, who I know personally, are devastated. It’s sad that when someone dies, it becomes a wacky narrative. He wasn’t “going to expose pedophiles.” Please. Be normal

[@suzannealdridge1404]

Feels True, Let's hope we get to see the real TRUTH come out in our life times ⏲ 🙏 ❤, Mafia govt Hitman..... Suicided not Suicide.......

[@Fernandolunatoro1]

he has a cool vibe not David Bowie but still cool as hell........down to Earth person liked Paris...... sexual tension dance party ,,,,, he has a great life....... the world survives but it hurts when the greats pass musicians are messengers he could of been in the 70s london scene digital and analog music he widens my Musial dimensions

[@scotttravis8654]

I don't like Perry but what he said was spot on

[@jaymagers1167]

Dude, so like, you mean that our universe is like a spec of dust on my fingernail?? Chaw

[@jeffbarnes19fg76]

Sad Perry has become everything he hated back in the 80s and 90s. Janes will always be my favorite band but this version of them out today is hard to listen to.

[@DefThrone]

Jesus Christ Pose is written about him.

[@christopherwalker8240]

DefThrone really!?? Can you elaborate?

[@christopherwalker8240]

I hate suicide. How many people have thought about it and considered it? And have you ever wanted to make some kind of statement by completing it? And then thought "wait a minute, the statement and the hugely intense reaction I'll get from it, I will never get to see." It's so permanent. Its over the minute you complete it. And then when people change for the better afterwards and stop taking life for granted afterwards, you won't get to experience that because you're gone. It truly is the ultimate selfish act of pure narcissism. Hideous.

[@elyaqui5324]

Christopher Walker Holy shit! Brother you are absolutely right! Ive thought about it more thwn once before in my Past! I Was At rhe lowest point i know i had ever been.. I was on Heroin for almost 10 years, i sold all my guitars even the expensive onez, my van had a minor east fix, i sold it for pretty much nothing..and the worst i was completely alone no friends no family no girl,no one to cry to and no place to call my home. Im 28 now this happend at 26 years old and i thought about IT EVERyday!.it was a sas very depressing time in my life.. My Parents Had gottwn Deported back in 2006 and i went with them. so when i turned 18 i came back. And was on my own. But My Father Being so far away he never gave up on me! He Kept motivating me! So i Did It Some way some how i got clean and i got that suicide out of me! And now that my brain is so clear from Death and the toxins in my body I realized all the emotional damage and most likely physical damge i would have caused my mama and papa and my 4 Brothers. Such selfishness. I just lost one of my very good friends to a Heartattack at 32.... You are Absolutely RIGHT! Life is Precious! Life is Priceless! Im Happy Still a lil depressed but i got my whole life in front of me i Hope! And im So humble and st peace with where i am. And i think sometimes if i had done it, Ended my Life. How would it be. All i know is it wouldn't be RIGHT! So to Anyone out there that has thought about sucide Please seek Help! Dont be Ashamed or Afraid to! Causr once your gone who knows if you will ever breath again ever see and Hear and LOVE again! Sometimes all it takes is someone to just talk to! Like my papa said "your Rock Bottom son,there is only one Way to go NOW! And Thats Back Up!"

[@SMDAHL]

Chris Cornell's words "Like 'Jesus Christ Pose' people think is an angry religious reference, but it doesn't have a thing to do with that. That song was based entirely on seeing rock stars like Perry Farrell or some top model doing these photo shoots where they were the Christ figure with this stupid-ass crown of thorns and their arms out. It became fashionable to be the sort of persecuted-deity guy. It started to get annoying that peopie were trying to associate themselves with that, because they don't even know what it is..." web.stargate.net/soundgarden/articles/request_10-94.shtml

[@jasonriker3636]

So basically Perry says it's no big deal.He expected it. What a sad existence it must be to be to expect your peers to die then move on so effortlessly and then talk about being excited about your next gig. This interview and Perry's response is disgusting. I lost all respect for him right there.

[@CC-oi9mc]

He’s seen it happen time and time again, his mom killed herself when he was a child , countless friends overdosed and destroyed themselves or killed them selves - death isn’t a surprise to a guy with that experience. He wasn’t disrespectful, but crocodile tears would have been.

[@Snozzberrypies]

@@CC-oi9mc who cares if he's seen it before, that had nothing to do with his complete lack of empathy even for one nanosecond. Disgusting

[@jacksonjxnatti596]

For the first 5 years or so the cool kids dropped in a couple of times but mostly we just called it Lollapaloser. Festivals suck. If you want to see a band you like go catch them on tour

[@pab1it05]

minute 0:49 - "Chains Addiction" classy guy...

[@annonymost9318]

What was he waiting for? I would think...he was being brave and hopeful. Until...he just got too damn tired. I get it. Maybe he lived in generosity for the masses who need his messages. Comment does not seem cruel as much as not well thought. He was prob a little jealous of him anyway...come on..I love Perry...but..Cornell? GOD

[@DemonSlide]

Lol Perry's stoned.

[@Itsyrm8]

Its not lolapalooza Its lolrlapopoolza

[@babasemka]

I love Perry, I adore Jane's Addiction, but when he started yapping about how free music is ruining the industry and touring I just stopped it. I hope I will forget that I heard this and keep enjoying their music, which I downloaded for free. What's up?

[@Turk_2023]

It did ruin it bruh...Why you think no one puts out good music any more, and only country and rap are backed by record companies...Hell the radio station for new rock we have had for 30 years went away and merged with the classic rock channel...They only modern stuff past AIC,Pearl Jam

[@babasemka]

Bill & Bill`s Gentlemans Club LMAO, when they start driving Prius,. then I'll start believe in this bull crap. Music should be done by heart, not for money elusively and if the album is shite, it ain't worth buying it in the first place.

[@Turk_2023]

Prius hurts the environment more than regular cars...The batteries and components are terrible for the planet

Quite a remarkable thing, what happened to Perry. He's a shadow of his former self. A caricature, really. Dentures, plastic surgery. This guy has lost it completely.

[@fiocornejo1446]

Lost what? The guy is running a fucking whole caravan tour and has done so for years on end and still creates music. Sounds like he's accomplished more than you ever will 1000x. Easy to be an armchair keyboard hero, harder to actually mold reality with your confidence.

[@himoong]

I don't know,hes still cool af...what's wrong with 'jew features'?

[@rgdssd]

indigodvsk would you prefer that he have died from depression and drug overdose like so many of his peers? The guy is freaking sixty. He raised a family with his wife of 18 years, he has 3 mouths to support. He looks happy. Guess what? We fucking grow up, get jobs and build a career so that we aren't always living semi-homeless with no money and unhappy. So is life.
