I saw him on his solo career run in March of 2000 then with Audioslave in 2003, and the final time I saw him was with Nine Inch Nails when they toured through Washington in 2012. That was when I got to meet the guy and he was very nice. It didn't even feel like meeting an icon, he was just a friendly, loving guy.

As far as the best of all time for Alternative I think that title would go to either Flipper, DInosaur Jr, or Mudhoney. Those three set the bounds for Alternative music as a whole.
