Audioslave: What does everyone think of this band?

[SirChadwick]

I just started listening to their music lately and am completely sucked in. Sounds a little like Zeppelin/The Doors/ACDC influences in a new Alternative style. The band is composed of the old Rage Against the Machine members with the lead singer of Soundgarden. I never was much of a fan of Rage, but Audioslave is incredible. If you're looking for some good songs, download Cochise, Like a Stone, I am the Highway, and Shadow of the Sun. Or better yet, just get the whole CD...it rocks!

agreed, its a really good cd. Cant wait until they come here to the electic factory in philly. GOnna be a good show.

 

[snut]

my fave is track 5 at the end with the guitar

I'm going to see them in Chicago next month. It should be an impressive show.

I like it, but I miss Rage Against the Machine and Soundgarden more than Audioslave makes up for. Oh well, its better than most everything else floating around. Although I just heard some stuff from Ike Reilly that I really like. I hope to see his band playing it up on Letterman sometime.

Yes YES! This is my favorite song. It's called "Like a Stone". Gonna be their next big single according to MTV!

It's already getting radio play (and has been for several weeks, I think) where I live.

Awesome CD, though. I miss Rage and Soundgarden, but Audioslave is definitely an acceptable substitute.

Love it. Way better than Chris Cornell's solo crap. Has more of a Soundgardern feel with a funkier bass.

I must say their CD is damn good

 

[Aceshigh]

I can't stand what I have heard of it.

I've only heard one song they had a video for, forget what it's called. Sounded way too much like AC/DC whom I can't stand.

Same, but then didn't Like a Stone rip the whole flow of lyrics from that other song made a looong time ago? I forget the name, but a popular male artist, ben something or the other.

does an audioslave work in a soundgarden?

 

[SirChadwick]

Arrrgh! I need tickets to their concert at the Tabernacle in ATL, GA. Can't get my hands on em for under $60/pc.

I like it, but it leans a lot more towards soundking a lot more like Soundgarden, than Rage, but then again nothing will ever replace Soundgarden for me (My 2nd Favorite band of all time).
First time I heard 'Cochise' I thought it was a Chris Cornell solo song. I like the record, though. Not great, but not terrible.

that about sums them up for me, too.

I like that it's not political like Rage was.

Listening to 'Gasoline' now... It rocks, I don' care what the linked review says...
