almost lost me here.
but then you redeemed yourself.
hahahahaha
Franz are better than Audioslave IMO
50 million sales means fuck all... Cliff Richard has sold more than that... does that mean he should go in at top billing?
anyway, Franz and Kaiser have sold more units in the UK, where the festival is
you are, of course, entitled to your rant... uneloquent as it was
they are selling it for the UK audience. and Franz ferdinand are more popular than audioslave here....
although i was reading a music magazine and they said that Franz were not gong to headline as they lost their cache....

I thought this was a joke!
ahhhhh, I feel better now.
I could have told you it didn't 4 years ago, dude
But then you weren't a Soundgarden fan anyway, right? So I don't expect you to really get it. I'm glad RATM ended, they were getting stale, it was time for something new.
I didn't realize any other bands were playing.

There isn't really anything to "get" in the vapid poprock that Audioslave plays, in all honesty. I was actually a big Soundgarden fan, so don't say that I hate Audioslave because Zach isn't there. I hate them because they make bad music. And yeah, Battle of LA wasn't that great (had some good tracks on it), and Renegades was interesting, but not that strong.
Why is it always assumed that only RATM fans will dislike Audioslave? I was a fan of both bands that make them up and still think they are bad.
right, so you didn't say "I'm not a huge Soundgarden fan either" in the other thread then?! make your mind up.
Musically the first Audioslave album is very similar to rage, which you like, so musically at least you should at least think it's ok. It just seems there are a lot of people out there that dislike this band out of principle that it isn't what they expected/wanted. Personally being a huge fan of both RATM and all things Cornell, this is a great match for me. Whilst I think they can write better stuff than they have, a song like Shadow on the sun is anything but "vapid poprock".
And I noticed the first album did have a very similar sound, as morello was sticking to the same general riff styles that had helped make the rage sound unique. Unfortunately, it had all already been done and wasn't really all that interesting, and furthermore, his solos got really really bland (although I guess you could say they were kind of bland later in his RATM career too if you wanted). I'm sure they have songs that aren't all vapid, but crap like "Like a Stone" and whichever song had that atrocious 'I am a Virus' lineis pretty snore-tastic. And that new single/most of the new album? Bleech. But hey, exceptions to every rule
Neither does "Audioslave"
Cornell in general does absolutely nothing for me.
Like a stone, crap?! not a big lyrics kind of guy huh? That song, in my opinion (and I don't think I'm alone here) is one of Cornell's best, not only does he sing it with a lot of passion, but lyrically it is also a very moving song. I wonder how you would feel if the band didn't feature members of RATM, because lyrically and vocally, AS are pretty much as far removed from what RATM did, and on that basis, I can see how that would dissapoint you.
To me RATM were first and foremost a powerful sounding band that pretty much invented a genre all of their own. And whether you like it or not, Cornell is an amazing singer, who does bring a very different sound to the band, which when combined, in my opinion, is what makes them original.
Anyway this could go for a while, and I've gotta sleep. Hope the next album knocks you on your arse!!!!
Temple of the dog? Not even Hunger strike?!
what the fuck.
soundgarden fucking rock. what madnesss.. what albums you got ?
