Hip-hop provocateur Kanye West and grunge god Chris Cornell will forever be linked in music history (i've always wanted to Google search "kanye + chris cornell + retarded") after this year's annual Big Day Out festival in Australia. Being the diva that he is, 'Ye delayed his set for nearly an hour due to rain storms, which caused his soundcheck to interrupt Soundgarden's set on a nearby stage. This led Cornell to quip to the three Silverchair fans who showed up for his performance:
"Sounds like there's children playing music there, retarded children, retarded as in held back. There's no other word for it."
Cornell also mentioned that fellow headliners Kasabian and My Chemical Romance were "gay" and "severely lame", respectively. Bassist Kim Thayil was quick to add that fellow performer Battles "kinda shreds, though."
