Chris Cornell talks about the use of drugs in the rock
P: Después de que Soundgarden se disolvió, fuiste un abusador de las drogas . ¿Qué droga elegiste?
R: Cuando pasé la transición hasta la edad adulta: hubo altas responsabilidades emocionales, hice todo lo que podía para tener en mis manos lo que quería. Sucedió sin que y realmente lo notara. La cosa es, cuando levantas la tapa por primera vez, no sabes que es tu destino. El momento no es dramático. Y entonces eso fue todo, no quería de atención ya.
P: No te ofendas, pero ¿por qué son las historias de las bandas de grunge mucho más deprimente que la de los dioses del rock de los 70′s?
R: verdad? Esas bandas de alguna manera tenían la capacidad de ser jodidos completamente y seguir cumpliendo su función perfectamente. Ellos podrían desempeñar un increíble solo de guitarra a pesar de que apenas podían caminar. Los 80s mató aquello, todo el mundo se estaba drogando. Si ves entrevistas con algunas de las estrellas de MTV de los primeros años, los chicos parecían rebentados. ¿Duran Duran? Iban también a través del infierno.
IN ENGLISH
Q: After Soundgarden broke up, you were a pretty serious substance abuser. What was your drug of choice?
A: When I transitioned into adulthood – High-stakes emotional responsibilities – I did everything I could to get my hands on. It happened without me really noticing it. The thing is, when you pick up the pipe for the 1st time, you don’t know that that’s your fate. The moment isn’t that dramatic. And then that was it – I didn’t want to care anymore.

Q: No offense, but why are grunge bands’ drug stories so much more depressing than the 70′s rock gods?
A: Right? Those bands somehow had the ability to be completely fucked up all the time and still function. They could play an amazing guitar solo even though they could barely walk. The 80′s killed that – everyone was doing coke. If you see interviews w/ some of the stars of MTV’s early years, those guys look WORKED OVER. Duran Duran? They went through hell too.
