Chris Cornell Interview @ Pinkpop '92

[QuiveringNow]

Jesus. That dude was an absolute IDIOT. Cornell should have just left.

[CC8WB]

@QuiveringNow

But he's too cool to do that.

[willzer808]

I'm sorry but how God damn tall is that interviewer? Seriously.. Cornell is 6'3' and makes Vedder look tiny when they stand [sing] beside each other. But what is the story with this interviewer guy? Is he 7+ feet?!

[EyeRing100]

this is the best interview ever

[zwartepiet412]

Cornell is 6'4" and he looks short compared to this interviewer..

[wellholyballs]

Lol this interview is so awkward. 

[worthlessburger7]

Chris fucking OWNS the reporter. This is why I love him so fucking much

[stellarshore]

This guy is dutch. They are logical. If its soulful it needs explaining.

[ebraski3]

interviewer is a douche

[randawoehawoe]

The interviewer is Jan Douwe Kroeskoe.

I'm from Holland :P

Was nothing wrong with em but this is painful to see.

[girlvegan1]

Lesson one....Dont insult the person you are interviewing. Lesson two...Dont be such a doofus when speaking to a rock god.

CC is amazing!

[MikeRawbertson]

interviewer is prettty good considering english is obivously not his first language and this is an interview on foreign TV........ lol haters. id like to see you do a swedish interview. Back then to find someone in the scene who can speak perfect english was probably pretty hard.

[MamboPower]

Chris Cornells voice sounds like the voice from Kermit the frog!

lol

[Grungemusicislife]

The guy who was interviewing Chris was pissing me off, if the music's too loud, you're too old,bitch! but I agree with the comments above me about Chris having a dirty mind with the audience being wet. Hell, knowing Chris, the audience wasn't just wet from the rain XD

[KristinNirvana]

Ha, yeah seeing Chris up there on stage playing heavy music and dancing and headbanging would make me wet.

[Grungemusicislife]

@KristinNirvana Hahahaha I agree so much

[aydinsc]

chris 'i know it s loud, can u believe it?' and the interviewer looks stupid

[bogrog]

he manhandled that interview. not many would've kept it light and funny with that dummy and his innuendos

[MusicallyCarniverous]

Mr. Jimi Hendrix was very loud too. Idiot.

[jetsonic69]

ITS SO LOUDDDD ))))))))))))))))))))) :)

SOUNDGARDEN WANTS TO SPREAD AGGRESSION

THEY JUST WANT TO ROCK ON :)

[coyote2welve]

this interviewer sucks...i love how chris cornell always finds the humor and sarcasm in things. i remember someone asking about his critism with "Scream" and he was just like "Yeah whatever, i dont care, they cn go f*ck themselves"

[hOOdilol]

Most dutch are like this retard, tall, fashion forward fags, dumb as fuck, rave monger freaks, gym lovers, and listen to house all fuckin' day. What a waste of land.

[skiddo94]

He really pissed him off

[2hbladytron]

he deserves a punch in his fucking stupid face, go chris, scream a make his fucking ears explode

[marbles83cr]

Chris is funny!  Love his humor.,,

[merchanix]

1:10-1:14

Can you see the tumbleweeds rolling?

[Umy1332]

He's such a fucking smart ass. I love it!

[iLikeCookie88]

"When the audience is wet..." - The minute the guy said that Chris starts smiling! Dirty mind, lol!

[TisiphonesFury]

@iLikeCookie88

when I read your comment, I watched that part again and couldn't stop laughing!

[santanaincubus]

Why would you dislike Soundgarden's music and saying it in front of Chris? Interviewer looks like a Duran Duran douchebag fag

[XxMetallicaxX11]

That guy has to learn how to talk

[bloodtearsej]

Chris you ROCK... 

[TheNora1980]

if i were chris, "get your fucking hand off, motherfucker!!!"

[TheNora1980]

this dutch guy is an asshole! and stupid!!

[sgmailman15]

"Chris Coleman" 2:36. Baahhahahahaah

[tiemyshoes92]

"yeah when he was playing clubs in seattle, i was probably 2years old so i didnt hang with him much..."

haha funny stuff

[durden246]

Cornell is beautiful

[jajvideos]

lol. the interveiwer is a fucking idiot

[1overthehillsfaraway]

chris says , i just want to make some really loud noises that people might not hear the rest of the day,.. fucking funny!

[rivariad]

cornell the snake 1.18

[Radz117]

This dude's taste in music, over dutchness, and stupid questions offend me greatly.

[paraelamordemusica]

Wow that guy needs to be fired... funny though Chris.

[fillXnXdXblank]

"it's fun. it's like a little kid with a really big toy" as he says that he's waving the megaphone around

[WhateverWasLeft]

Domme arrogante klootzak. Dit "lawaai" heet muziek, luister verder naar je Tiesto of weet ik veel wat...

[CaptainGinyu91]

Love Chris man such a smart ass to this douchebag! Funny as hell

[StraightPunkEdge93]

Its too loud, its too loud, its fucking loud. Its fucking Soundgarden man its suppose to be loud.

[heylaura1]

Interviewever: I like some parts of it but its so loud all over. Its constantly loud." Chris: "I know, can you believe it?" Haleeerious! You have to love Chris Cornell and he has amazing eyes. This interviewer is so dumb, and such a faggot.

[mickeltheheadbanger]

[RioDeZal]

[kaylarichoux]

[Robynsane]

[DethByMyIbanezAxe]

Why the hell does he have a megaphone? haha

[katowarrior]

@DethByMyIbanezAxe because FUCK YOU

[Baukereg]

Jan Douwe Kroeske is een baklap, toen en nu!

[Chrotisofus]

@Baukereg Klopt.

[bullamarta]

this guy smokes pole

chris is a legend handles this clown well

[Phatboy530]

I think Chris was thinking something dirty at 0:08 when the interviewer said "when the audience is wet" LOL. Chris gave a smile.

[AliDeLuxe29]

@Phatboy530 just thought the same.LMFAO

[JeremyTheWicked028]

@Phatboy530 omg this comment is fucking hilarious

[crallen33]

Btw, he called him Chris Coleman at 2:36...

[crallen33]

Chris Cornell is so fucking cool. I wanna shake his hand.

[RasmusKudahl]

This dude is an idiot.. (not Cornell ofc.)

Lol what an awkward interview..

"I was probaly about 2 years old.." Lol that interviewer failed big time xD!

[AhmadHassanMusic]

@ 1:11 Cornell almost pimp-slapped Quasimoto...and then the stare down begins. Classic, but Epic fail all in one.

[semperidem1000]

You can see that Chris bored shitless in this interview but he's too polite to say so.

[jksoccerfreak]

Day. Made.

[Secundas]

Isn't Chris Cornell like 6'3''?  The interviewer must be 6'12''!

[SlipKid75]

@Secundas so, do you mean 7 feet?

[Secundas]

kidding :P

[jasonbear72]

@Secundas Chris is 6'2' so this worst interviewer in history is a monster out of europe!!!!

[sustainedXnoise]

ahaha " what do you waanna reach with this noiiise?, do you want to sprreaad aggression?"

[AliDeLuxe29]

@sustainedXnoise LMFAO.he is directly translating from dutch to english, this dutch douchebag.big douchebag btw since Chris is very tall.

[Phatboy530]

can anyone translate what the dutch guy is saying at the end?

[redhathacker]

lmao Does this interviewer not know he is at a rock concert

[ldav0702]

this dutch guys a f==king @sshole. he's probably talking mad shit about chris at the end

[azurebass24]

hahahah. you see that soo much with talking to people with different cultures. one person means one thing and hte other person just doesnt understand

[baiardi71]

LMAO. I watch this often for a giggle. "I was about 2 years old so I didn't hang with him much..." Hahaaaaa!!! Awesome.

[jabre12]

1:17 cornells eyes are like "ima kill this bitch"

[Aizen9]

"you toured with guns n' roses, have you learned anything from them". Ha Guns N' Roses wtf, Soundgarden's older than them you dumbass.

[oliver24122412]

jimi hendrix? him and cornell are of course totaly the same genre... -.-

[MoonshineNL]

ahh i am dutch.... and damnit... we are stupid like this guy.... there is no hiding it

[AliDeLuxe29]

@MoonshineNL not all of you *hugs gently*

[Aerofighters]

I understand Chris with the mega phone. I bought one while in college, great ice breaker. I want that '90 STICKER!!!!

[sittnonchrome]

@Aerofighters What is the deal with those stickers and shirts, Ive noticed other interviews where chris and matt have those shirts. I was finishing highschool in the 90's and I dont ever remember seeing them.

[Aerofighters]

@sittnonchrome Word on the street, I've asked this on the epic version of Slaves & Bulldozers on Youtube; apparently Chris started a "90"  fashion label. I've been looking for it, but nothing comes up.

[Phunxk]

Don't think all Dutch people are jerks, this is just one out a million :P,

[TheLastAmericanHero]

hahahaha you gotta love how cornell handles this

[tobetrayafriend]

@TheLastAmericanHero Yeah, Chris must have ice in his veins, I would have lost my cool with this guy after about 10 seconds

[worthlessburger7]

"Wen he was playing in clubs in seatlle, I was probably about 2 years old, so I didnt hang w/ him much"

Awesome sarcasm, the interviewers a dick

[tobetrayafriend]

Chris handles this gimp very well. You can see early in the interview that he realises he's dealing with a douchebag and treats him with the contempt he deserves. Also - that idiot must be about 7 ft tall!

[RamAbballah]

"I know, can you believe it?"

[phlexo]

he said CHRIS COLEMAN! DUMBASS !

[MissusFingerBottom]

Chris is smoking hot here, with that attitude haha! I bet he got lots of offers from the ladies but he was attached during this point of time right?

[manhuntruler2]

@MissusFingerBottom U know it ;D

[ghostwhiskey]

at 1:30 i think chris gives up n says fuck this guy

[KCMU90S]

Oh god the I'm going to kick your ass look at 1:12-1:16 go Chris.

[KCMU90S]

Oh god the I'm going to kick your ass look at 1:12-1:16 go Chris....

[italianstallion30]

Are you saying you don't like it??? Haha

[theredkatana]

What an awkward interviewer. Generally you don't want to criticize a band's sound in the middle of their tour. It just makes you look like an unappreciative asshole. And please, Cornell learning from fucking Skid Row? Glam metal was what Cornell and his contemporaries were trying to break free from, not emulate.

[Radz117]

The interviewer is so incredibly narrow minded and stupid. How can he not like this band?

[thefedpennies]

This interviewer needs to be dropkicked in the throat.

[resington]

Oh dear, funny stuff.

[weskoki]

Hey lets burn this guy! It would make great noise.

[templedown]

bwah haha! great interview, speaking of chris that is. great answers about gnr, skid row and jimi hendrix. the beatles were more of an influence on him when he was young. the dutch dude looks like a reject of adam curry. i mean cmon, who hired that douchebag. and he's interviewing one of the most diverse and talented musicians of our time and completely butchered it. yeah dude, it's loud. deal. or go back and listen to yer echo and the bunnymen & soft cell records.

[SheaBearden]

I think he handled that interviewer very well.....like "con" said.....GREAT sarcasm!.....

"but it's so constantly loud...all the time"

"yeah!...can ya believe it!?!" hahahahahhaa

[snobhater]

The dumbest fucker ever, I assume he was fired after this. Also Chris doesn't half sound like Kermit the frog talking.

[greenriverwhale]

"I know can you believe it?"

Best part!! lol

[Audioslave3]

2:36-3:09: blah blah blah wow i'm a big fucker blah blah blah on my first interview they send me to interview a guy from a band that makes noise blah blah blah where's madonna?

[jabre12]

@Audioslave3 wheres madonna rofl

[chpthncook37]

lmfaoo this foregin dumbass .....he cant interview.

lmao its a lil kid with a really big toy

[janisjoplin95]

the dumbest interviewer ever...

[BrassknuckleRide]

What a douchebag of a interviewr.

Should have kicked his teeth out.

[ripspique]

That interviewer (Kroeske) was known to be totally into britpop, post-punk style like the cure and the smiths, since he was a dj for a dutch station he didnt have to know much about learning english... but they didnt have a better interviewer at that time, he has always been a bit "slow"

[AliDeLuxe29]

@ripspique thanks for explaining."a bit slow"? LMFAO

[monsieurperzik]

the interviewer must die!!!!!!! he hates Soundgarden (he translates it to dutch, i can understand what he says but not why. if ur a foreigner, you can't understand both :P)

[Garsound]

lol the guy is such a fail.. chris makes it so awkward, in a funny way.

[ChefDoctor]

but theres not any relationship between a kid from Seattle like you and a kid from Seattle like jimi hendrix

"yea there is one his parents live in Seattle and so do mines"

hahahahah now that was funny =D

[rawkgawdez]

rock on Chris Cornell, u sexy genius.

[C0r3d33zNutz]

Haha this guy has some dumb questions

[Soundgarden4eva]

Chris on Hendrix (because the're both from Seattle) : "I didn't hang with him much, I was only 2 years old"

And they say Soundgarden doesn't have a sense of humour?

Come to Europe soon. Please!

[LucasSierra1]

He says Coleman or Goldman?? Who the hell hired this guy??

[jzoom92]

that was the lameOist interview ever he is a friggin warlock harry potter nerd geek ungrunge loser ever i hope he lives a long lame like of lameness worst interviewer ever good dutch at the end though

[TheDoobad1]

Maybe this putz will have a better interview at the abba reunion..friggin shmuck.

[Zipley1234]

"Jaa, bat Chris. It is zo laud! Haf yo nicht lerndt from das Jimi?"

[Ominous09]

Hell-Air-Eeee-Us 

[LouieIn720p]

Lol the interviewer made 6' 3" Chris Cornell look short haha.

[LucLeFou]

wow the interviewer IS A DOUCHE

[jambi880]

Chris....Goldman? Fuck, I hate this interviewer.

[unothisshit2010]

chris looks clean like drug free which is refreshing

[uuummm66]

I can only hope dutch guy got fired after this, what a moron, Chris' reactions to this idiot is funny shit though

[avrilsdream]

2:36 hahaha "Chris Coleman." He only got away with that because he's Dutch. They know how to get away with things. Ahem.

[ginghamslut]

@avrilsdream Yeah, seeing that didn't make me want to cry.

[R9forever]

I admire his individuality. He's cool. interviewer is clearly a bit clueless..

[Carina08x]

that dutch guy is so weird, eww

[inphanta]

"Are you trying to spread aggression?" who the fuck is this tool?

[dowling1981]

@inphanta Do you enjoy Christalin Cornell?

[matatmat]

I know can you believe it? ..(*awkward pause*)

[Amsterdam74yeah]

[Salvatorek]

[DieHardGardenFan]

Lol, I like Chris's motion when he says "It's like a little kid with a really big toy."

[Ferdie123]

okay its fun but its so louuuuud - he sounded so queer

[Spoonman1972]

Cornell is so funny with this doucher! "Its constantly loud," "I know, can you believe it?".

[ClaussXeroS]

Chris Colleman LOL

[superkulmedkniv25]

i feel sorry for the interviewer. he screwed up big time LOL

[rabeca89]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahha

[kovalevisgod]

This interviewer is a penis. On top of the stupid questions, Cornell looks high as a kite and I think a couple of times in the interview, he's on the verge of stomping this tosser with his idiotic questions. But eet's so loud!!! Shut the fuck up. What would be this guy prefer? Air Supply? Phill Collins?

[hayleyhooligans]

1:13 HAHAHAHHAHA

[Elephant228]

Chris Cornell says he doesn't remember any of this.

[ebMagnum]

It seems like every Pinkpop interview I see is hosted by a total douchebag

[leatherwings007]

dude, that guy on the right is one tall mofo! i mean, Chris is like 6'3", so that deutchebag must be like 7'!

1:06 hilarious

[leatherwings007]

@leatherwings007

[hoodmatix]

[Rabokarabekianyo]

[cisrael468]

[stpunderground]

"ok its fun.... but its so loud" hahaha wtf

[RiseOfTheFool]

the guy interviewing him is a douchebag

[LostHorseChick]

woah this dude is so weird. chris is cool though

[ALEXisSPANISH]

"I was probably about 2 years old, so I didn't hang with him much."

Chris was a real good sport, dealing with such a moron and all.

[Selithein]

2:36

shut up

XD

[josecurious2]

oh man, that hurt to watch. chris was out of that interviewer's league.

[munchysallthetime]

lol chris just makes that guy look like a dumb ass

[Tapicero111]

what a jerkoff

[flugdude]

That german guy is so, dumb, it's hilarious.

[evaboon1980]

he's not German, he's Dutch ;) But he is a bit dumb allright ;)

[flugdude]

@evaboon1980 woahhhh he's got blonde hair, how can you tell he's flemish, or dutch if not german. The dutch don't have blonde hair. Flems? I have no clue.

[evaboon1980]

lol I am Dutch and I can tell you we still have some blondes left ;) The guy was a dutch tv presenter

[codebabe]

At pink pop festival of all festivals, who the hell would say, "Ok its fun...but its so loud..." or, "I like some parts of it, but it's constantly loud all over."lol wow this interviewer is an idiot.
