Liked Chris Cornell with Soundgarden better. But I will listen to Audioslave. There is something that I really like about the man...must be his voice.

Yes indeed the original bands should be together as in many other "supergroup" cases!!!R.A.T.M. especially should be a band to regroup as soon as possible.Getting back to "supergroups" though, despite the fact that I do like alot of A.S.'s songs, Velvet Revolver is clearly the better one I.M.O.!!!...And, as I was saying with the R.A.T.M./A.S. groups, Velvet Revolver is less desirable than S.T.P. without a doubt!!!At the same time, I don't even know what I could say about the G.N.R. members...lol. G.N.R. no longer exists as far as things go and it (the true band) has sadly been erased, ya know?

To put it simple:

Stone Temple Pilots > Velvet Revolver.

&

R.A.T.M. (and even Soundgarden) > Audioslave.

Default Audioslave --- Cochise

This is the first time I have ever heard this band, but does anyone else agree that this song is a pretty blatant rip-off of Zeps's "Whole lotta love"? It's so similar that when it began I thought it was a cover! It's not identical, and in fairness, the bridge is totally theirs, original. But the opening, the riffs, the phrasing, the arrangement even is so close to WLL that I have to ask did they just rearrange the song and rename it?
Sorry to any fans, and I admit I know nothing about the band, but I was just so surprised by how close it was to Zeps' classic...
Comments? Rebuttals? Agreement? Explanation?

I absolutely cannot stand this band. Derivative twaddle. Kingdom Come were the most blatant rip off a rip off (see what I did there?):

"Shadow On The Sun" is my favorite single by Audioslave.

ugggh. I keep writing something and pressing the back button and have to start over... dammit, this may take all day, haha.

anyways...

I never got into Audioslave, they seemed gimmicky and based more on nostalgia than something modern and new. Much like Velvet Revolver or whatever other supergroup came out at the time. I liked RATM and I liked Soundgarden, so naturally when i heard it, I was stoked and bought into the hype of it all.. only to hear a song and thinking.. wow, this is nothing more than mediocrity.

I often find that with the Supergroups. Looking back at some over the years.. The Travelling Wilburys for example, are one of rocks biggest failures. Each member on their own were amazing, and doing great things.. but when they all got together it became a case of too many cooks spoil the soup. So many great talents and ideas, that when it was all said and done, was just mediocrity. Same goes for The Highwaymen to me.

So yeah, I would much rather just listen to one of the groups they came from on their own, rather than some mediocre get together that never seemed to go beyond a good idea gone bad. Just no interest in Audioslave.

Plus of course there is this...


Jesus man... quit it, you are not Zach and I doubt you have the intelligence to even know what the song is about without Tom having to sit down and tell you Politics 101.... this is the probably about the time where I think Chris Cornell lost it, and had this midlife crisis thing going on, about to do what is one of the worst albums of all-time, the should of been aborted "Scream" album. Chris though is now washed up and riding on the nostalgia of Soundgarden though. Maybe he may knock out one more good solo album, but i think at this point he will just go down more and more. I already have a feeling the new Soundgarden will be awful and go down as a lackluster return for a once great band.
