Just listened to this album and it's actually pretty good. Guess I didn't really give them a fair chance. Anyone else like them?

I like quite a few of their songs...at least you are keeping an open mind, young grasshopper ;)

Too bad the same can't be said for you.

Picked up their last two albums (which I really enjoyed) as they came out, but never finished off with the last one. I'll have to get on that...

It's all about Chris Cornell. I like Dave Grohl too but Chris is the real talent of the grunge era. Well, him and the Pixies to be fair.

Agreed. And his voice, don't even get me started on that. I remember listening to Soundgarden for the first time and just getting chills. Can't forget his collaboration in Temple of the Dog either. Short-lived, but awesome.

Not a big Audioslave fan because I was too much of a R.A.T.M. fan and was pissed to see them split. I like Chris Cornell, just not with Tom Morello.

Have you heard One Day As A Lion?

Have you heard One Day As A Lion?

Yes I have, Jon Theodore from The Mars Volta and Zack de la Rocha from Rage. They are on hiatus now seeing as Rage is back together.

I wouldn't say Rage is back together now so much as they are doing a reunion tour. I've heard that Rage sucks live, can you confirm this?

yes

in fact, they pretty much suck period

No. Get out.

Yah they arent as good as the albums but they dont suck. White Zombie, now that was a band that sucked live.

yes

Rage encourages people to not sit around and be sheep to whats going on in the world that affects them. You may not be a fan of the style of music but they are trying to wake people up to whats really going on with some of the music they make.


Come wit it now!
Come wit it now!
The microphone explodes, shattering the molds
Ya either drop tha hits like de la O or get tha fuck off tha commode
Wit tha sure shot, sure ta make tha bodies drop
Drop an don't copy yo, don't call this a co-opt
Terror rains drenchin', quenchin' tha thirst of tha power dons
That five sided fist-a-gon
Tha rotten sore on tha face of mother earth gets bigger
Tha triggers cold now empty ya purse

They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells
They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells
They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells
They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells

Weapons not food, not homes, not shoes
Not need, just feed the war cannibal animal
I walk tha corner to tha rubble that used to be a library
Linin' to the mind cemetery now
What we don't know keeps tha contracts alive an movin'
They don't gotta burn tha books they just remove 'em
While arms warehouses fill as quick as tha cells

They Rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells

Citing Noam Chomsky:


A good friend of ours said that if the same laws were applied to U.S. presidents as were applied to the Nazis after World War II that every single one of them, every last rich white one of them from Truman on would have been hung to death and shot - and this current administration is no exception. They should be hung, and tried, and shot. As any war criminal should be. But the challenges that we face, they go way beyond administrations, way beyond elections, way beyond every four years of pulling levers, way beyond that. Because this whole rotten system has become so vicious and cruel that in order to sustain itself, it needs to destroy entire countries and profit from their reconstruction in order to survive - and that's not a system that changes every four years, it's a system that we have to break down, generation after generation after generation after generation after generation... Wake up.

Tom Morello is one of the best guitar players in the business. Take away Zack and add Chris and you've got Audioslave. I don't know how you can say that you like one group but that the other is talentless when they are 3/4 the same.

I liked their first album thats it though
