yeah. I always thought that they couldn't get back together, because of some law of GWB or soemthing that said they couldn't. That could be absolute BS though.

I like their sound... it's (most) of the lyrics that I hate. Which is why I do enjoy audioslave... but it's not quite the same sound.

I just really hate blatent political statements in music... Even more so when that's all you get from a band's lyrics.

Put it this way, same talent, but Battle of Los Angeles NEVER gets old.

Audioslave's first album was excellent (haven't really heard the second one) but Rage..dude...c'mon..they are fvkign Rage.....

RATM was awesome. I like Audioslave, but they really can't touch the pure energy that RATM put out.

I'm not much of a fan of whatever his name is, Chris Cornhole? ;) But I have to agree Rages' first album was the best.

you can't be more right... Battle of Los Angeles is amazing. They wrote and recorded that whole disc in a month apparently, imagine that :confused:

I like the music, but I'm not a fan of their singer nor do I like their politics.
