    I really don't know how I feel about this. It almost certainly means Rage will get back together which is amazing and Cornell on his own will be good, but together they were a force. They made some powerful and great music and the band was able to match the intensity of Cornell's voice. I think both sides sacrificed a bit to make it work, but there's no doubt they were a great band. Cornell should just travel around with an acoustic and that voice from now on.

    Audioslave blows Rage outta the water. Zach is a no talent bum. For example he couldnt do one thing on his own, since the rest of rage formed Audioslave. Also Morello never played any melody before he joined Audioslave. Cornells solo album will be great just like every cd he puts out.

    I can't believe I just read that. Audioslave is nothing compared to Rage. To each thier own though....And I again state, Audioslave is garbage, cock rock bullshit, compared to Rage.

    i want to be happy about this, but i have a feeling RAGE isn't going to be that good at all anymore. cuz audioslave has turned to crap, and i don't think that changing a lead singer is going to really change much.

    and didn't pj say awhile back that if soundgarden were to get back together that matt cameron would go back to them? i think now he would stay with pj, but certainly something to think about.

    First of all, I liked Audioslave.

    However, I'm happy, this means Chris can go solo full time, and since he's such a versatile singer he shouldn't be tied down to one musical format.

    I also should own up to being wrong the whole time about "rumors of their demise being greatly exaggerated."... I'm just glad I didn't pony up $25 to join the fanclub. Did they even play *one* show after they started that thing? If not, I think there are alot of fans entitled to refunds.

    agreed... the idea of chris as a traveling minstrel is quite appealing...

    Rage Against the Machine reuniting would be sweet!!

    Soundgarden reuniting would be sweet!!(But, it's not going to include Matt Cameron, cause that dashing fellow is staying with Pearl Jam)

    ...and the shows would clock in at an hour thirty. Jack is a great drummer, but no thanks.

    As far as popularity when it comes to college aged ppl and popularity on college campus's. (say this because that is the demographic audience and barometer of how "popular" music is measured) Rage probably ended Pearl Jams dominance with the audience. Cornell who? is what you'd hear right now. Rage will dominate the scene once again.

    Im definitely a fan of both Audioslave and RATM.... its a bummer that Audioslave is done, but awesome if RATM turns this into a full-blown reunion. IMO, although both are good bands RATM>Audioslave by a landslide. RATM was just so intense. Hopefully this will give me a chance to finally catch them live!

    Not me. Soungarden is dead, and even though they are one of my all time favorite bands, I think they should stay that way. No-one in either of those groups is going to fuck with the long term viability of PJ, a band that has the potential to last another 25 years, for the sake if seeing if SG can hold it together long enough to put out another record. What would be the point? (Besides a fucking great place in Dublin to play a show).

    In terms of Audioslave somehow staying together, is anyone else thinking Maynard + the band?

    Either way the return of Rage seems imminent now.

    I'm on the fence regarding a Soundgarden reunion... What happens with Matt Cameron then? I don't want to see him leave Pearl Jam. Can he split his time between two bands? Soundgarden could probably get by with a different drummer, but then would it even be right to reform? Can they honestly add anything to where they left off?

    I love Rage.
