During these calls, I’ve found Chris to be somewhat evasive, and (dare I say it) slightly untruthful as to the real answer to some questions. I like Chris. There’s no doubt the guy isĀ  one of the cornerstones of a musical movement. I do get the impression that he’s a reluctant (pardon the pun) voice.

And then we get into the oft-rumored “Audioslave broke up before the first CD and weren’t going to last anyway” discussion. And, he and I go pretty deep into geek-music-fan discussion. When Soundgarden reunites…don’t be surprised. Here he is…”the voice of a generation!”
