Even Chris Cornell's solo album (from like 1999 or so) was a lot lot more interesting than Audioslave.
With the RATM reunion, and Cornell's solo album coming out, color me unsurprised.
Good. Now RATM & Chris can get back to doing GOOD music. Yeah....I said it!
Yeah, some of the Audioslave stuff was cool and all but I could never help feeling they were holding him back.
Euphoria Morning was definitely a singers album and was kinda tame in comparison but MAN can that guy sing!
I'm all up for whatever Chris Cornell is selln'

........but i though cornell's solo effort was terrible and i would never buy another record from him.
Tom Morello is just awesome. I wish I had the jam with him, Vai, Satriani, and Gilbert on video. The guy's not a shredder obviously, but can totally hang with those guys because of his unique playing.
Actually, the dude isn't a Satch-level shredder, but he can certainly let rip. Track down the first Rage album - I forget the track name, but maybe the third track or so, the band goes from this heavy, screamed vocal section to a very jazzy interlude, and Morello unleashes a stream of fusion licks. It's hilarious simply because of the contrast, but it's also really good too.
I also really liked the first Audioslave album, and at least enjoyed their later stuff. Sure, it wasn't as innovative or original as either side's previous efforts, but it was just a really GOOD straightforward rock album, and those are getting fewer and further between.
About fucking time. I think Cornell lost his talent when he lost his voice. Audioslave was a monstrous disappointment. I never expected them to be so boring.
