I can't not love Cornell, he's a brilliant man. I'm looking forward to their next release. It couldn't come sooner!

I just hope that he does not hurt the great legency he has created. To me he and eddie are rock gods like Plant for the generation before me and it hurts to see him so far from soundgarden and his solo stuff. He has one of the best voices in music, maybe his writing will come back

Wasn't Euphoria Morning an R&B album?

I'm confused?

but seriously folks, I LOVE Rage, but I totally resent them for recruiting Chris and throwing his brilliant solo career off track. And now he's wasted the twilight years of his vocal chords. He can't sing anymore, his voice sounds like shit.

Saw them live three nights in a row last summer, and for the most part he sounded great. He gave up smoking at the end of last year and has apparently been taking singing lessons again, so I wouldn't write him off yet.

I hope Cornell doesn't change his style too much. Audioslave rocks. I don't want them to change at all. The only style I would want them to change to is Soundgarden.

i was really excited about audioslave at first, then their first album really underwhelmed me. the first 6 or so songs are good and the rest of the album blows except maybe getaway car. their last album didnt really impress me at all and this one doesnt sound like it will either.

same for velvet revolver.

speaking of vr, i wonder when they're coming out with a new album

I could not disagree with you less!

I think the last Chili Peppers album was a great 'pop' album, and a testament to what great songwriters they are. Sure it wasn't like their older stuff, but so what? I think Out Of Exile was a solid album, not the best music we have heard from these people, but still a well crafted record. I think a lot of people, whether they will admit it or not, are put off by the mass appeal of bands like RHCP, Audioslave, Green Day etc, their popularity can be annoying, but it doesn't mean the music was bad. It's a bit like when Pearl Jam or STP came out, and they were seen as the commercial side of the alternative scene, and while to some extent that may be true, it didn't mean the music was bad. People need to lighten up, I'd take Audioslave over Franz Ferdinand, Arctic Monkeys, Kaiser Chiefs etc any day.

John Frusciante is brilliant. I also like Flea when he gets to do his thing.

I am not put off by mass appeal. I am put off by shit bands. There is little to nothin on the radio that is worth listening to for me. Nothing moves me like it used to. I will give Audioslave the exception of that Little Dandilion song. That's a good song.

Their record sales do not bear out my opinion of their music, and quite frankly, they have a huge fan base. So does the Big Mac. It's the same product in my eyes. Quick...easy...fills a hole...moves units. The accountants are happy, and so are the people who appreciate quick...easy...hole-fillers.It's a win-win for the suits and the people who are desparate for anything that reminds them of what good music used to kind of sound like.
