My source for the paragraph which begins: "Cameron was born in San Diego..." and the paragraph which begins: "Despite a career in rock music..." is this interview CD:

My source for the paragraph which begins "In 1978..." is the book New Metal Crown (ISBN 0-312-13607-2) by Chris Nickson --Cormac Canales 05:16, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Opening paragraph

Does the Smashing Pumpkins info really belong in the opening paragraph when he only actually featured on one album track, while he drummed on four tracks on Eleven's Thunk? I think Soundgarden and Pearl Jam should get top billing as they are the bands he is most famous for - everything else covered further down.

Also was he really the "primary back-up vocalist" for Soundgarden? Was that not Ben Shepherd? Beve 07:14, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

That's right, Ben Shepherd did at least a large amount of the back-up vocals?
