Silverchair on Chris Cornell

“We were really kind of nervous. You know when you're talking to someone who you really like and you forget everything you want to say. I was just going, 'Hi,' and Chris goes, 'Hi." Then I went, 'Oh fuck, I don't know what to say.' I wasn't going to go, 'You're real cool man,' so I said, 'Can you sign this?' I got him to sign this bank withdrawal card and he filled it all in and everything. It was a classic. Chris wrote 'Tough Guy' for his name and the withdrawal was for like three million dollars or something.”

“One of the all-time great rock singers. He was very generous with his time to Silverchair back when they were teenage fans. Putting them side of stage at the Reading Festival was an experience they will never forget.”
