    It's funny how much hate Audioslave gets on this board. Not by everyone but there's this select group of PJ fans. They bash any artist from PJ's era that is currently more succesful than PJ. By succesful I mean, either sells more records, plays biggger venues or gets more media attention and praise. Bands like U2, Audioslave, Foo Fighters, and the RHCP fall into this catagory. Sure these bands might not be at their peak. But they're still all very good and way better than most crap out there today. Would you rather these bands retire so Nicklback, Scott Stapp and Good Charlotte can take their places? Why all the bitterness towards them? It has to be jelousy. Does it really bother you people that much that other bands are bigger than PJ? Who cares if Audioslave sells 3 times as well as PJ? As for Audioslave I think they're good. I tend to get tired of them quickly but that doesn't mean they suck. If you don't like a song like Heavens Dead then I really wonder about your taste in music.

    I like about half of Audioslaves stuff. Not a favorite, but I can listen to them

    U2 and RHCP are MTV bands. Someone argued the other day that RHCP were not.

    I think there was a pretty drastic change in styles from their earlier stuff to what they do now. They arent makin the music they wanna make, they are makin the music MTV and Clear Channel wanna make.

    Put up the "travellin new musical territory" argument all you want, but the Peppers havent since they got their first taste of mainstream success. I would say its about time.


    Foo Fighters are just a pop rock band. They take their music seriously and write pretty good songs. I dont think they are trying to be more important than they are.

    U2 is prolly the only band up there that makes more $ touring than PJ, and that can be partly attributed higher ticket prices.


    Honestly, I dont see rock and roll selling big time numbers any more. It doesnt. I bet you could count on your fingers and toes the number of straightforward rock bands that put out a platinum album in the last year.

    I loved RATM so much. I still do. And I absolutly love Audioslave. I saw them live in San Francisco and they BLEW ME AWAY. I loved Out Of Exile and I loved the first one. I am really into Soundgarden too. I cant wait for the new Audioslave album. For those of you who dont like Audioslave then just go back to your precious Fall out Boy or YellowCard.......haha.......Dare I say Alter Bridge? accept it: Audioslave kick ass.

    I'm glad that these guys have found their audience. I guess I'd rather them make music than not make music. I still have my SG, RATM, and CC to vibe on, so I don't have to like Audioslave...and I don't :)

    I hear the argument that "well, they might not be as good as SG or RATM, but they're better than the crap that is out there today" I used to be in this camp, but then I thought about it. That's like saying that a guy on crutches is better than a guy in a wheelchair. That's not such a good thing IMO.

    There's much...MUCH better music happening than Audioslave, but for a lot of people, Audioslave is enough...and to that I say, good on ya. :)

    HAHAHA! I'll fall back to my other bands that are better than Audioslave, thank you very much. You are very narrow minded musically, it appears.

    Bro, no need to incite the hate. I've seen your list of musical interests. Let these cats have their Audioslave. All that means is that you and I can get better tickets to the shows of bands that we like :D.

    that's the thing that burns my ass more than anything...when I dig a band that blows way up, and I have to do battle with casual fans for my tix :)

    I'm just saying, if the only alternatives to Audioslave are Yellowcard and Fallout Boy, you have a very narrow spectrum of music.

    Chris Cornell's solo album isn't as great as the cornellie's would like you to believe, most of it is recycled beatles riffs.

    not surprising really, if that is the case. chris cornell is beatles fan afterall.
