Your Time Has Come

One fell asleep in the street and he never woke up
One died in pieces in his bed with a head full of gold
One who threatened me long ago I saw him
Melt in the bright light of day
One lay to rest in a field under starlings and crows

I've been wandering sideways
I've stared straight into the sun
Still I don't know why you are dying
Long before your time has come

One took some bullets in the chest in a deal gone wrong
One got a little too depressed so he went and jumped the gun
One got shot right in the face and somehow he survived
But he doesn't know my name or who I am
And I'm not surprised

I've been wandering sideways
I've stared straight into the sun
Still I don't know why you are dying
Long before your time has come
I've been wandering sideways
I've stared straight into the sun
Still I don't know why you are dying
Long before your time has come
Your time has come

I've seen 50,000 names all engraved in stone
Most of them met an early grave years before I was born
All of them left brothers and sisters and mothers behind
Most of their family and friends are still alive and doing time

I've been wandering sideways
I've stared straight into the sun
Still I don't know why you are dying
Long before your time has come
I've been wandering sideways
I've stared straight into the sun
Still I don't know why you are dying
Long before your time has come
Long before your time has come
Long before your time has come
Your time has come

Out Of Exile

When I first came to this island
That I called by my own name
I was happy in this fortress,
In my exile I remained
But the hours grew so empty
And the ocean sent her waves
In the figure of a woman
And she pulled me out to sea

When you come down to take me home
Send my soul away
When you come round you'll make me whole
Send my soul away

On the altar of a sunrise
Was a wedding on the waves
And inside her shown a young light
From her labor I was saved
Though I've traveled long in darkness
In her harvest I'm embraced

When you come down to take me home
Send my soul away
When you come round you'll make me whole
Send my soul away

Now the spires and the gables
Grow in orchards to the sky
And the blessings on my table
Multiply and divide

When you come down to take me home
Send my soul away
When you come round you'll make me whole
Send my soul away

Yeah when you come down to take me home
When you come round you'll make me whole
Yeah when you come down to take me home
Send my soul away
Send my soul away
Send my soul away
Send my soul away

Be Yourself

Someone falls to pieces
Sleeping all alone, someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
She finally drifts away
Someone gets excited in the chapel yard
And catches a bouquet
Someone lays a dozen
White roses on a grave

And to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

Someone finds salvation in everyone
Another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself
Down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love until the end of time
Another runs away
Seperate or united
Healthy or insane

And to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

Even when you've paid enough
Been put upon or been held up
With every single memory of
The good or bad, faces of luck
Don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright
You may win or lose

But to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
And to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

Doesn't Remind Me

I walk the streets of Japan til I get lost
'Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
With a graveyard tan carrying a cross
'Cause it doesn't remind me of anything

I like studying faces in a parking lot
'Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like driving backwards in the fog
'Cause it doesn't remind me of anything

The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things that I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget

I like gypsy moths and radio talk
'Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like gospel music and canned applause
'Cause it doesn't remind me of anything

I like colorful clothing in the sun
'Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like hammering nails and speaking in tongues
'Cause it doesn't remind me of anything

The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things that I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget

Bend and shape me
I love the way you are
Slow and sweetly
Like never before
Calm and sleeping
We won't stir up the past
So descretely
We won't look back

The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things that I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget

I like throwing my voice and breaking guitars
'Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like playing in the sand what's mine is ours
If it doesn't remind me of anything

Drown Me Slowly

I've got a will this time don't care what you say
I've got a feeling this will all go away
It's in the wind this time it's in the southern sky
I can't walk on water yet won't even try

So drown me slowly
Enclose me
Drown me slowly alright
Drown me slowly
Enfold me
Drown me slowly

All that I took with me was a bad taste in my mouth
Went all around the world just couldn't spit it out
Just like ground zero was the surface of the sun
That's a sickness I can't fix it not all at once

So drown me slowly
Enclose me
Drown me slowly alright
Drown me slowly
Enfold me
Drown me slowly

Don't let them take you down
You'll leave a better world than you found
Don't let them take you down
You'll leave a better world than you found
Don't let them take you down
Don't let them take you down
Don't let them take you down
Don't let them take you down

So drown me slowly
Enclose me
Drown me slowly alright
Drown me slowly
Enfold me
Drown me slowly

Drown me slowly
Drown me slowly
Drown me slowly

Heaven's Dead

Anchor the night, open the sky
Hide in the hours before sunrise
Pray for me not, I won't lose sight
Of where I belong and where you lie

Heaven's dead when you get sad
I see your wishes fly
Out of time
For the best time you've had

Shipwreck the sun, I'm on your side
An army of one, onward we'll ride
And whisper your songs, birds to the air
We'll bury all our burdens there

Heaven's dead when you get sad
I see your wishes fly
Out of time
For the best time you've had
Heaven's dead when you get sad
I see your wishes fly
Out of time
For the best time you've had

Best time you had
For the best time you had
Heaven's dead when you get sad

Heaven's dead when you get sad
I see your wishes fly
Out of time
For the best time you've had
Heaven's dead when you get sad
I see your wishes fly
Out of time

I'll take it all, arrows or guns
Hundreds or more to save you from one
Save you from one
And where I'll be
Heaven's dead when you get sad

The Worm

Was a time early in life
When I hated everything
Born too young, top of my lungs
Sitting on the bottom rung
Took advice from the wrong shoulder
Took a lot of everything
I've decided to make it alright with my

Halo--I'm complete
Halo--with me underneath
Halo--I'm reborn
I can do no wrong

Black and blue, suffering fools
By the age of seventeen
Low and high, just one more time
Felt like an eternity
Right or wrong, never too strong
Friends became my enemies
God forsaken, never too late with my

Halo--I'm complete
Halo--with me underneath
Halo--I'm reborn
I can do no wrong

You'll stay the same
You'll stay the same
You'll stay the same
You'll stay the same
You'll stay the same
You'll stay the same
You'll stay the same

Halo--I'm complete
Halo--with me underneath
Halo--I'm reborn

Halo--I'm complete
Halo--with me underneath
Halo--I'm reborn
I can do no wrong

Man or Animal

You give me a heart attack
You look like the summertime
You call me an artifact
But I'll save that for another time
I could be rich or poor
I don't need anymore
Keep your love inside the kitchen
You can feed me anything
Leave the feathers on the chicken
Peel the leather from your skin
I can be young or old
Sweet or sad, hot or cold

Man or animal, I don't care at all
Find the antidote underneath the dose
Man or animal, obedient--
Out of control

I will love you more than money
I will breathe you in the smoke
I will drink you in my honey
Sweet and golden down my throat
When you're right, when you're wrong
Head is near, eyes are gone
You can drown my appetite
I will sip your tears at night
You can tie me to a chair
Skin and bones, I don't care
I could be rich or poor
I don't need anymore

Man or animal, I don't care at all
Find the antidote underneath the dose
Man or animal, obedient--
Out of control

Man or animal, I don't care at all
Find the antidote underneath the dose
Man or animal, obedient--
Out of control
Out of control

You give me a heart attack
I will give you more than that
You give me a heart attack
I will give you more than that

Yesterday To Tomorrow

Beauty is what the eyes behold
And you burn brighter than most
I chased you through the midnight streets
To be where I could speak freely

I didn't care what tomorrow held
I felt the world turning only for us
Only bliss now for you and me
Rise up let life's kiss send us reeling

And unlike the times before
From yesterday comes tomorrow
When life comes alive the past moves aside
No regrets and no remorse

We have more than everything
More than man or machine
More than luck
More than fiction
Higher than any religion

And unlike the times before
From yesterday comes tomorrow
When life comes alive the past moves aside
No regrets and no remorse

We'll squeeze the blood out of life
And say goodnight to the silver of old
Even when wrong we're right
Far beyond the world of diamonds and gold
I've come to realise
Where happiness lies
I want you to know I know

And unlike the times before
When life comes alive the past moves aside
No regrets and no remorse

Dandelion

Settle down now and sit with me
Let me tell you how this all came to be
A yellow flower with your petals to the air
And flying on paper wings that brought you here
Summer rolls on in the lazy hours
An ether dream away
Of hummingbirds and clouds
Midnight swims in the cool black waves
And you in my arms as it rolls away

Little dandelion
Let your heart keep time
Now the clouds are gone
All of your tomorrows shine
Oh oh
All of your tomorrows shine
Oh oh
All of your tomorrows shine

Born of restless night the moon as a pearl
Playing games down inside your soft warm world
Hear my voice I know that you can
You're the fire in my eyes
The sun as a man
Seasons come along and seasons go
And what they'll leave behind
I don't pretend to know
I'm afraid that all I've missed
Will loom very large when the darkness lifts

Little dandelion
Let your heart keep time
Now the clouds are gone
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine

I will ride by your side
Wherever you go
I won't run
I won't hide
Just letting you know

Little dandelion
Let your heart keep time
Now the clouds are gone
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine

#1 Zero

Listen now, let me speak
I will be the dog at your feet
And come along when you call
Be the little bird in your straw and sing you a song
I'll be there to take the fall
Though you tread upon me for no reason at all

But just when you think you've left me blind
I will keep you in the corner of my eye

I will never leave your side
Though you call me your number one zero
Your nevermind
I'll be your king, I'll be your pawn
I will build a pedestal and put you upon it

But just when you think you've left me blind
I'll be creeping right up behind
'Cause if I need to
I will keep you in the corner of my eye
Corner of my eye

Down on the street, over your night
Out of your sleep, out of your sight
If I need to, if I need to
Out of your mouth, in every word
Down in your ego, one thing is sure
I will keep you, I will keep you

But just when you think you've left me blind
I will be creeping right up behind
'Cause baby if I need to
Lord, I will keep you in the corner of my eye
I will be the bird in your straw
But you won't get far
I will keep you in the corner of my eye

The Curse

Help me I don't know what I'm doing
Help me before I fall to ruin
And if I'm blind, I will lead you on
Come follow me now, before our time is gone

And as you're laughing at this fool tonight
Let me rid myself of any line that I might use to trip you up
And as I'm howling at the moonlight, don't kid yourself
I will be your luck and never your curse

Help me I don't know what I'm saying
Sometimes this tongue can be betraying
And if I'm wrong, is that such a crime
And if you want, you can set my words to right

And as you're laughing at this fool tonight
Let me rid myself of any line that I might use to trip you up
And as I'm howling at the moonlight, don't kid yourself
I will be your luck

And if your eyes forget to well
And if your eyes forget to tell
And if our paths forget to cross
It doesn't mean you're lost

And as you're laughing at this fool tonight
Let me rid myself of any line that I might use to trip you up
And as I'm howling at the moonlight, don't kid yourself
I will be your luck

And as you're laughing at this fool tonight
Let me rid myself of any line that I might use to trip you up
And as I'm howling at the moonlight, don't kid yourself
I will be your luck
'Cause even at my worst
I will be your luck
Never be your curse

If you're on the Audioslave mailing list you probably received an e-mail asking you to share a link for 'Your Time Has Come' with as many people as you can. Once the link had been accessed 1 million times, the download would be unlocked. Well, seems like 10 million might have been a better mark because the link was unlocked within days! 'Your Time Has Come' can be streamed in Windows Media player here. Apparently the download will expire within a limited amount of time so let's make the most of it.

Got an e-mail from 'User' letting me know that the Be Yourself video can be downloaded from Videopimp.com. At the moment you can download it from a link on the poll on the main page, but if it isn't there, I suggest you look at the 'How To Download' instructions: the file is around 44mb, and no doubt all you lucky people with cable internet will be all over it!

KDGE interviews CHRIS CORNELL, 25th March 2005

Legend: K = KDGE, C = Chris Cornell, // = Gap in wav.

Part 1:

K: // If you've just tuned in your in for a real treat because we're speaking to Chris Cornell, the lead singer of Audioslave, they've got a brand new CD coming out, it's going to be in stores May 17th. And Chris, earlier you were talking a little bit about the creative process that went into making this new record, and I want to ask you about that because earlier this week I had the pleasure of talking to Josh from Queens of the Stone Age, and he related one of the fun things that happened when they were recording their new record was that they got together with Billy Gibbons of ZZtop, and at one point when they were recording the song his beard fell on the guitar, on the strings, and it created this weird cacophany but it worked and they kept it // ... were there any weird or fun things that happened in the studio by accident that ended up on the record?

C: I think there are always weird things that happen by accident that end up on the record. I mean, on the last record I was turning on a cell phone in the middle of someone putting up a rough mix for me to sing to, and it was in the right key. So I recorded the cell-phone going on, and then the cell-phone going off, because it made like a cascading tone going off, and going on it made this ascending tone - and it fit perfectly. It's in the second verse of Light My Way, and no one has ever asked "what is that?".

K: Wait, I've got that CD in here, I think that's track 12, let me play that part just so people can hear what you're talking about.

[Plays excerpt]

That is cool. Heya, if you're just tuning in we are speaking with Chris Cornell of Audioslave, new CD's going to be in stores on May 17th. We're talking about the creative process that goes into creating a record. Now, I read a great interview with System of a Down when they had worked with Rick Rubin and you guys worked with Rick Rubin on this CD - and System of a Down said that for some reason they had put a tent in the recording studio to get the vibe they were looking for. Did you have any process like that for yourself, and for the recording of this record?

C: No, I'm actually kinda anti-that. My whole thing is just put me in a dingy room, wherever the equipment works really well. As long as the equipment works great, that's kinda where I work the best, and I think it has something to do with sensory deprivation. If it's boring enough looking... you know, I'm not the guy that goes to Barbados to be inspired to write a record, I'm totally the opposite. I will be destracted if I'm looking at a beautiful thing or an interesting thing or in an interesting environment, I'm not thinking about music anymore.

So, our records, we worked at the same studio, this dingy little studio, and I'm not destracted by anything, I just want to do music because it's the most interesting thing. // ... To that, we took Rick's beard, and we tried to put it all over all of the guitars and drums and bass and it never sounded cool ever, so we didn't keep any of it.

K: Well, see I've always heard about Rick and his beard, that there's some sort of magnetic force that eminates from it.

C: That might be but I feel like Billy Gibbon's got 1 up on him, since Billy Gibbon's beard is turning into a recording artist, and that's not right.

K: [Laughs]

[Plays a Soundgarden track]

Part 2:

K: // ... has that changed yet?

C: No [?] ideas about the title... part of that's probably because we have about 10 songs more than we need for the record, and we love all the songs, we don't plan on putting out like a 2-disc set, we just wouldn't do that, and we're not going to put like 15 songs on the disc either, we're going to try to keep it a normal length. Until we know what songs end up on it... //

It's very exciting: we've got all this great material and we're into all of it. And the other exciting thing about it is that the third Audioslave CD will follow, you know it's going to take 2 years... //

K: Is there going to be an enhanced CD? You know, a lot of bands do that where they've got the music and then maybe there's DVD action as well - will you be doing that with this new record?

C: Yeah, it's what we think of as an enhanced CD where we're actually going to put good music on it, instead of like, mediocre music, so it's enhanced in kind of the quality, which //

K: // ... because I read a great interview with Brad Wilk where he talked about the difference with this new Audioslave CD in relation to the last one, is that when you recorded that first record, there was still a little history of the // ... bands, wheras with this new Audioslave CD, it was all you and it was just // ... did you find that as well?

C: Yeah. I think in particular for // ... rhythm section and basics, it was like a different world for them this time. We really... we were going in a lot of musical territory, specifically they had a // ... and then, maybe should have spent just a little more time doing that. Because we spent a lot of time arranging and re-arranging. We wrote the initial arrangements very quickly, but we did take a while to get the songs in final form. This time as a band we worked very quickly, you know, we wrote like 1 song a day and those songs pretty much stuck, we didn't spend much time going back through them. So we really got to get the material under our fingers.

And also, what it probably means is that my feeling, when I first got the // ... because I'd got offers to do lots of different stuff and I'd said no, and I'd imagined, OK, pretend it's Rage Against the Machine playing a Rage Against The Machine riff, part, whatever, two completely different worlds. I can bring entire songs of music in and bring bridges in and change things and arrange... and it felt like on a part of the record we kinda did that, we knew we could do that, and we did that on a few songs. Wheras, it's more riff-rock and I'm kinda wailing over it, and it's got a really nice groove to it, which Rage always had that. Songs like 'Like A Stone' and 'I Am The Highway' and 'Getaway Car'... so we got to feel around and like, OK, who are we though?

Then we toured, and I think a big part of it was that on tour, we played nothing but Audioslave songs and covers. I think that really was a fat statement to people: that we're our own band, we're going to make it on our own terms, we're [doing] our music now and that's that. And it wasn't in a pig-headed way, like, when someone like Bowie might come out and play nothing from his previous catalogue... It wasn't because we don't embrace the music of Soundgarden or Rage Against the Machine: we wanted to set a tone for our future. So, getting back into the rehearsal room and writing songs, by then, we'd done everything we could possibly do to prove the point - and then we were just free to just do whatever.

And I think that // ... for now, and we have enough material for two records.

Part 2

K: I'm curious Chris, a lot of bands are influenced by books, movies, even philosophers: were you influenced by any in writing the lyrics for this CD?

C: I kind of cracked upon a bunch of lyrical books. It's kind of staggering when I did it how prolific some of these guys were - one was Bob Dylan, one was Bruce Springsteen. Not so much for inspiration for me to write lyrics, but just to check out the body of work and just to read... I think I need to hit the reset button on myself every once in a while, musically and lyrically, to remember that everything is possible. When you're one person, and writing lyrics can be kind of a lonely thing. You're sitting around in a room with yourself, you can think down a tube and get stuck in a mould. And going through those books... Also, The Doors. Obviously [Jim] Morrison wasn't as prolific because he didn't have as much time. But it's incredible that you can fill a cofee table book full of Bob Dylan lyrics or Bruce Springsteen lyrics and it's like trying to crack open 'War and Peace' or something, it's a Steinbeck novel.

There's so much dialogue going on, just from their body of work lyrically. It was fascinating. And it was inspiring because I wrote lyrics for 22 songs, and afterward could look back at all of the printed words and go through them to put them on the record and make sure there were no typos and realising I myself have a huge body of work in there somewhere, and some day I'll put it all together and it will be in a coffee table book and I'll get to read it from beginning to end and wonder what that will be like. It's pretty exciting.

K: You're gonna get the fans salivating because I was just thinking, you do have enough of a body of work to put a coffee table book out right now, I mean, that would be brilliant.

C: Yeah, and if Audioslave keeps going like this it will be like an encyclopedia set!

K: Oh my god I'm so glad that you said encyclopedia! Surely you must know about Carmen and Marta in Spain, are you familiar with the Audioslavica Encyclopedia? It is the most brilliant... I've been in radio now about 16 years and internet has been really active for like the last 10. And I have to tell you about this website, because it is the great fan website I have ever seen! It's Audioslavica.net and they have got A-Z everything you ever needed to know... here, I'll read it to you verbatim: an encyclopedia of Audioslave advanced for the home, the layman and the family by the 2freakette's society, which is chartered in Madrid as a non-profit, scientific, educational organisation that has supported a gazillion explorations and research projects adding to knowledge of Audioslave music. I'm telling you, you will be floored by what they have done in your honour. And I'm telling you because I actually reached out to them just to see if they had any goofy questions, is it OK if I ask you a couple that they sent to me?

C: Of course.

K: Firstly they wanted you to confirm or deny the rumours that Audioslave would be submitting a song for Batman Begins?

C: Yeah, that's a no. And the first we heard of it was a couple of days ago on an interview.

K: It's been floating around VH1 and MTV.com.

C: It makes Tim very angry because his opinion is that somebody throws a name around from a band that's doing well to get other people involved, you don't get involved because your name is being used... it's totally illegal, people can't do that, but they do it. We didn't even know that movie exists, and I feel like he's probably right.

K: Speaking of movies, and I'm going to ask you this though I'm not sure you'll have any information on it, because it's actually about Brad, he's in a new movie with Maynard James Keenan, it's called 'Let Sleeping Dogs Lie'. Have you seen it yet, or do you know anything about it?

C: No, I don't. It sounds interesting. What's Maynard's role?

K: Ed Azner [sp] describes him as a sort of Barney Fife character.

C: [Laughs]. I'm interested now.

K: Now tell me about the movie you did: I don't know how old this is because I don't know if it was ever actually released called 'Amazing Grace', it's a documentary on Jeff Buckley?

C: I think I did an interview for that, and that's probably it. It's something that's been going on for quite a while.

K: Do you have a daily 5 o'clock ritual involving Jasmine tea?

C: No, at this point my 5 o'clock ritual is trying to avoid smoking and drinking alcohol.

Break

K: I was wondering about your inspiration for the lyrics to 'Be Yourself' - was there someone in particular that you wrote it for?

C: No, I think it has more to do with my life, though if you listen to the verses I'm not really speaking about me I'm speaking about other people in a lot of different situations and a lot of opposite situations. But it comes back to I suppose my experiences by now, being 40, being re-married, having a new child, having a five year old child, becoming sober, I mean things are still going on: five days ago I quite smoking, I've had all the success that anyone could ever want, and all the luck that anyone could ever want, and I've had a lot of disasters and lost a lot of young friends - most of them are younger than I am. And through all of it, it has always come back to being that. And it's also biographical, as singer, guitar player, songwriter, what I think that any of us that do that go through, presenting themselves very differently throughout their career, it starts very young, and as time goes on... you can't have a 20 year career as a front-person without in some ways reinventing yourself, it just doesn't working that way.

Iggy Pop has done it, um... that's the only name that comes to mind! I really can't think of anyone else that has done that. And I went through a lot of different personal crises based on that many many years ago. As soon as the band opening for Soundgarden had a singer that would come out and be angry and jump around and smash stuff and climb things, I couldn't really do it anymore. It came naturally to me, but suddenly when other people were doing it, it seemed like a shtick. If I feel like doing it, that's great, it's real, but if I'm doing it because that's what people want, it's not, and then I didn't want to do it any more, and then I didn't know who I was or what I wanted to do, and that took a long time.

Part 3 coming next week!

Supergroup Audioslave Prep New Record, Tour [link]
Liisa Ladouceur of ChartAttack.com written, May 14th 2005

Audioslave, that American rock supergroup featuring the body of Rage Against The Machine spliced with the head of Soundgarden, will release their second album on May 16 and perform two shows in Canada in April.

The band are planning a U.S. tour from April 7 to 30, including a confirmed show at Toronto’s Kool Haus April 26, with a second date in Vancouver TBA.

The album’s first single, "Be Yourself" has hit radio this week with a video promised for April, but few details about the still-untitled disc have emerged.

Last week, guitarist Tom Morello and drummer Brad Wilk spoke to ChartAttack in Los Angeles, explaining the veil of secrecy surrounding the new album.

"I think now is about the right time for fans to be pulled out of the dark and into the light," says Wilk. "We figure the less we talk and the more we let the music talk, the better."

"The last time, our music was released on the internet eight months beforehand. So this time, mum’s the word," agrees Morello.

Six songs from the upcoming release were played for international media in L.A.. In addition to "Be Yourself," the disc is scheduled to include the tracks "Your Time Has Come," "The Curse," "#1 Zero," "Doesn’t Remind Me" and "Out Of Exile," which was referred to in some literature as "The Roads We Choose."

Selections range from breezy acoustic verses to sweeping power melodies to bombastic stadium-sized choruses; although generally lighter than the new rawk du jour, the overall sound will depend on the rest of the songs. The remaining tracks on the Rick Rubin-produced record are still being mixed. Audioslave (Morello, Wilk and Tim Commerford, all ex-Rage Against The Machine, with former Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell on vocals) released their self-titled debut in November 2002 — before the foursome had even performed together as a group. Both Morello and Wilk claim that this time the recording felt more like a full band effort.

"Audioslave the band has arrived," says Wilk. "The first record was people from two other bands with history attached. I don’t feel that with this record."

"The main difference between this record and any other record that we’ve done is that it felt that the songs were completely generated on the spot," continues Morello. "At least as far as my contributions go. Normally, I make a long list of riffs, I do a lot of self-censoring beforehand. This time, I could just step into rehearsal and I just see what happened. It felt more instantaneous. I think that helped lead to the diversity of the material, and the confidence that no matter what it was we played that we would like the results."

The band also denied rumours that a new Audioslave track will appear on the soundtrack to the upcoming Batman film. Rehearsals for the live shows begin this week in Los Angeles.

Booker interviews CHRIS CORNELL, 18th March 2005

B: It's Chris Cornell with us in the studio, from Audioslave. Just popped in mid-conversation, last hour we had a very compelling conversation on custodians walking in on high-school students having sex, this hour, unfortunately, you happen to be here for the rock and roll hall of fame discussion, I'm sorry about that, you're an hour late.

C: Yeah, yeah, now we're honestly more boring: the rock and roll of fame.

B: Yeah, we've moved on to the more boring subject.

C: Yeah.

B: You musicians... I can't believe that you wouldn't go today if your band was in [the rock and roll hall of fame]. That kinda shocks me.

C: Nah, you know, I just have like a Woody Allen attitude toward things like that. I don't think it's bad if you're into it and if you love it and it's exciting for you then that's great but to me that's more like something that happens with sports and sports teams and if you're a musician usually you don't grow up that way, you know, it's not like a fraternal experience, you're kinda on your own and if you're lucky you find some people to play music with, but...

We make records for fans, I write songs for fans, you know people who will go buy the records, join in and have a good time and how it is appreciated in other ways or by the industry by people who you would consider you peers... it's nice but I really don't care.

B: Mm, well. The Audioslave CD, you were looking at May 24th, no title, or do you have a title? How about that, boy, I'd get some news here, for once.

C: We've got like, 45 minutes, maybe we could come up with one?

B: Really?

C: Yeah, we don't have a title.

B: 'The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Sucks', how about that for an album?

C: That's too wordy, it would be hard to say drunk.

B: Yeah it would be, it would be. So, there's no title, you got Rick Rubin doing this one. He's an interesting guy.

C: Yeah he is.

B: I've met Rick a couple of times. He's like an evil genius kinda dude. What's it like working with him?

C: Is he? I haven't really been able to work out if he's evil, or like really positive new-agey. Because he seems to be... both. I'm not really sure. But he's the star, or one of the featured stars of the Jay-Z video, so if you haven't seen that you're gonna see Rick Rubin in a floor-length fur coat and a cowboy hat.

B: He's the unkempt gentleman - he doesn't shave, or do anything that has to do with grooming himself, cut his hair... there's nothing going on there.

C: I think he's clean though.

B: Oh, he's definitely clean. Just a little unruly looking at times. What have you been doing between albums, in your time down? Writing, all the time, or, you know, what takes up your life? I know you just had a kid, another kid.

C: No, the writing part went pretty quickly. But this is actually my first anniversary, my one year anniversary with my wife Vicky here.

B: And thankyou for bringing her into the studio, it's something nice to look at, I've gotta look at this dude with a bald head all day long and I see this lovely looking lady across from me, thankyou very much Mr. Cornell.

C: My pleasure. It's the least that I could do. We have an almost six month old daughter and we do a lot of travelling. When we go to L.A. I work with the band and when I'm not working with the band we're either in Paris or travelling or doing something.

B: What's the band's writing process? Do you write and present it to the band, do you do everything together... how does that come down?

C: Pretty much do everything together. Each of us seperately might bring in an idea, but usually not an entire song, or the frame-work of one. Occasionally, but most of the time not. And then we just kind of ad-lib parts and work out arrangements together, or we will work on something that is pre-existing: we tend to not leave until we write at least one song per day, so this record was like 22 songs in something like 20 days and the last record was 21 songs in 19 days. So it's the same thing.

B: Are lyrics solely your responsibility or is that once again a band thing?

C: No, I kinda came into it with the 'if you want me to sing and be the lyricist', then... you know, I'm not that comfortable with doing somebody else's lyrics. Mainly because I don't want to be in the position of 'I hate these and they're awful, take them away'. That, I could never sing. That's usually not a problem because if it's something that you want to do and you're talented at it then you're doing it all the time, and if it's not, then you don't. It's a difficult thing for a lot of people.

B: Does Morello take the same kind of thing with his guitar playing? Is it something where he doesn't come to you and say 'hey, what do you think?' is it his word goes down because he is kind of another 'evil genius', you know?

C: We've all sort of taken the attitude of 'let's all let each individual guy do what it is they do'. And definitely he's asked a lot of times 'what do you think of this?', or 'what would you change with that?', and there are a lot of times when I don't like what I'm doing lyrically or melodically, you know, I'll say it, the song sounds great but what I'm doing, I can't stand it. I get nothing but support, 'we love you, we think it's great', and it's that kind of atmosphere every day, it hasn't changed since we started.

B: I've got the iPod, on shuffle, here, and I was listening to Sunshower on the way here. Do you ache to do anything solo, take it in a different direction just for yourself?

C: My feelings are that if I get a collections of songs either that Audioslave wouldn't be interested in, or just would not work with Audioslave then for sure I would want to do that. But that hasn't happened with one song, yet, so doing a solo album... I don't see that happening in the near future. Doing something here or there, you know, it would depend on what comes up.

B: Has the band been through any growing-pains? It was kind of interesting how it was put together, Zack being the lead singer of the other band, you coming into this band, what's been the most difficult part of the transition for you?

C: The business aspect of it. Which we kind of expected.

B: How so?

C: We'd done kind of a similar thing that was only a one off, well it was only meant to be a one-off, with Temple of the Dog, with three members of Pearl Jam and then Matt and I from Soundgarden. But it came at a time when Motherlove had broken up because Andy Wood died, and they were not yet Pearl Jam signed to a record label, so they were free and clear of any obligation. So we made the record, so it was released on A&M records and there was no conflict. Sony was about to sign, Pearl Jam was of course thrilled with it, because they were going to get some free exposure for their band before they put out the first Pearl Jam record. This time we were both under contract to seperate labels where we weren't in that situation; there was no way anyone was going to say 'yeah, you guys can just go do whatever you want'.

So, there was a lot that had to be worked out. We also came with seperate management companies, which ended up being the most difficult thing. Seperate legal teams, seperate everything.

B: Do you even like being involved in the business aspect of what's going on? Would you prefer to just say 'somebody take care of this please and I just want to play music', or do you feel that you have to be involved in how the music is done and the way you get paid and the touring?

C: Well, yeah, anyone has to be involved in that. It's not why I do it, but you have to be involved. It's not that complicated, but in the situation where we came together as one band there are other people complicating it. And for the first time ever I was in a band situation where we were all getting along so well and doing everything that you could ever expect from a band and then coming up with what was fantastic record: showing up for meetings, showing up for everything, and doing everything bands have a difficult time doing, because musicians are kind of flaky, and on the business side of things, with two existing management companies, that was kind of falling apart, and they were leaving it on the shoulders of the band to figure out what to do. So, it was rough for a while... and eventually we just replaced them with one management company that represented everybody. And after that it got easier.

But that was it really. It was really by our own team being received as one band rather than two seperate entities coming together to do something for a while. Once we had one company representing us and we were interviewing them and decided to choose them and it was our way and we were just a band and have been ever since.

B: When the album comes out... I think it's been 45 minutes since I last asked you has the album been titled yet, it's been 45 minutes. Do we have a title yet?

C: Any ideas?

B: I wish I could name it, I wish I could think of something cool but I'm so uncreative.

C: What's really lame is that I could totally use this situation to manipulate it... If I had a title the band might not like, and I loved it...

B: You could slide a piece of paper to me and say 'Ah, Booker...'

C: Yeah. I could say it, and then it would get around and they would have to fight the rumour in interviews and they wouldn't want to do that. But I don't have one.

B: There's always next week. You've got to eventually stumble upon a name and you could maybe pick up the phone and call in, 'you know we're kinda thinking blah blah', and I could utter it a couple of times and I'd look like a hero, it would like we were great friends and I could build my credibility and oh my god it would be great for me.

C: I could just fax it and not even be involved...

B: He's trying not to be involved with me - and that's not a bad move by the way, I've destroyed many careers.

C: Audioslave... it was reported we were going to be called Civilian, all over the place.

B: I remember that.

C: People telling us!

B: We went on the air and the songs had been put on the internet, and that was the name, and everyone was saying it's going to be Civilian, and I do believe we played the songs for a couple of days as Civilian, then we got that call: 'ah, you know, the band's not called Civilian, they're called Audioslave'.

C: The Civilian name, it didn't stick.

B: It was the name at one point though?

C: No.

B: So there was no 'sticking', it was just a rumour.

C: Exactly, it was a rumour. Alice In Chain's record 'Facelift', it was a rumour. The name 'Facelift' was a rumour and they'd never heard the name or discussed it or had the idea but they liked it and that's how they titled it.

B: That's interesting. The sound of the record... is there any sort of departure from the sound of the last record? Anything that would shock your fans?

C: It goes further in a lot of different directions. It's more melodic, it's more chordal, more song oriented and not as much riff or groove oriented. Then there are songs that are sort of chordally involved, where there are songs... two-chord songs, simpler than anything we've ever done.

B: Overall with the last album where you kind of happy with how everything turned out? Would you do it differently? Did it feel good?

C: Yeah, it felt fantastic, with the exception of what we talked about: the business end. The crowning achievement was that you could take these guys that have a long history in two seperate bands that were ground-breaking and then we went out and made one record and then toured for nine or ten months playing only Audioslave music or cover songs from other bands, and were successful doing it, had a great time, the audiences were great - I didn't feel like they were missing anything, or leaving wanting anything - and that sort of really set the tone for how we wanted to be received: we're a new band, we're going to be making a lot of records and we're going to be doing this for a long time. We didn't know how that was going to work out, because you never do, and it was satisfying to be able to do that, and to be able to do it successfully.

B: One of the songs we got the most reaction out of was We Got The Whip. Where did this come out of? It just kind of showed up some day, no album, will it be included on the next album? Where will that go?

C: It's not going to be on the next album because it was a B-side, I think that's where you guys got it. Might have been an English B-Side, a UK B-side, because in the UK they sort of like buying singles more than they do entire albums, so you put out a single and you give them something they can't get on the album.

B: Do you care when you get, like, an import... I mean, this was a rather large song and we played the crap out of it, for this radio station because people wanted it so much. Do you go 'damn, I wish we'd put that on the first record', or is there any regret at all there?

C: A little bit. When I heard it on the radio, it sounded great. With Audioslave, there's a ton of objectivity because we work so quickly and it's suck a great experience, but still, that wasn't one of my favourite songs and that's partly why it wasn't on the record, and yet I heard it on the radio and I thought it sounded great.

B: That's got to upset you a little.

C: You know what upsets me is that the release format outside the US sometimes requires that they want something that we don't get here. My biggest fan-base has always been in the US, really I'm glad that you were playing it on the radio. I mean, why do they get that? From now I'm just going to give them cover songs and nothing else. We're going to keep everything else close.

B: Is that ever a bone of contention when you go to shows... are there people who want to hear Soundgarden stuff? Does that bother you or do you just kind of say, we're not going to do it, we're just going to wipe our hands clean of that.

C: It was a personal decision, and it was personal... none of us felt like we needed our history to be a new band. Of course, we all felt very proud of where we'd come from.

B: Of course, the great music that you did in the past. Will that thinking change, is my question.

C: I don't see why not. I think now we've laid it out - I don't think that there's anybody's going to accuse us of resting on our laurels if we go out and play a Soundgarden song or a Rage song. So now I think it would be stupid not to go back and visit some of the songs that I wrote or they wrote, why not?

B: May 24th 'To Be Announced' comes out, the name of the new record, the new Audioslave: they've got a show coming up, that would be April 30th, small show, Rosalin Ballroom, probably gearing up for a much larger tour, I would imagine. Which happens when?

C: We're going to do European festivals, starting in June I think, then Mexico City, and then later in the summer come back and do some bigger places, in the U.S.

B: Are they smaller shows? I mean, in some ways, they've got to be more fun.

C: Yeah. In some ways, in the Summer doing a big shed or a big festival, nothing beats it, but small shows are great, and I love to mix it up.

B: Awesome. It's great to talk to you and get to know you, and it's great to play some of your music, we're big fans here, thank you for stopping in.

C: Thank you.

And with the morning dawn
Moving right along
I couldn't buy an eyeful of sleep
And in the aching night
Under the satellites
I was not received
Built with stolen parts
A telephone in my heart
Someone get me a priest
To put my mind to bed
This ringing in my head
Is this a cure or is this a disease?

Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life
Now show me how to live
Nail in my hand

Gasoline

House is haunted
I just wanna go for a ride
Out and on
Before I set this room alight
Left alone
Forever and for crimes unclear
With my patience gone
Someone take me far from here

Yeah!
Burnin' that Gasoline
Yeah!
Burnin' that Gasoline

New day yawning
Another day of solitaire
House is honest
Clearly more than I can bear
Drag me off
Before I set my world on fire
Out and gone
The sun will never set tonight

Yeah!
Burnin' that gasoline
Yeah!
Burnin' that gasoline

No what for's
Only a can of red
Says danger on it
I have found another way

Burnin' that gasoline
Yeah!
Burnin' that gasoline
Burnin' it all away
Burnin' it all away

What You Are

And when you wanted me
I came to you
And when you wanted someone else
I withdrew
And when you asked for light
I set myself on fire
And if I go far away
I know
You'll find another slave

And now I'm free
From what you want
Now I'm free
From what you need
Now I'm free from what you are

And when you wanted blood
I cut my veins
And when you wanted love
I bled myself again
Now that I've had my fill of you
I'll give you up forever
And here I go
Far away
I know you'll find another slave

And now I'm free
From what you want
Now I'm free
From what you need
Now I'm free
From what you are

Then a vision came to me
When you came along
I gave you everything
But then you wanted more

Now I'm free
From what you want
Now I'm free
From what you need
Now I'm free
From what you are
Now I'm free
From what you want
Now I'm free
From what you need
Now I'm free
From what you are

Like A Stone

On a cobweb afternoon
In a room full of emptiness
By a freeway
I confess
I was lost in the pages
Of a book
Full of death
Reading how we'll die alone
And if we're good
We'll lie to rest
Anywhere we want to go

In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone

On my deathbed
I will pray
To the gods and the angels
Like a pagan
To anyone
Who will take me to heaven
To a place
I recall
I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised
The wine was bled
And there you led me on

In your house
I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone

And on I read
Until the day was gone
And I sat in regret
Of all the things I've done
For all that I've blessed
And all that I've wronged
In dreams until my death
I will wander on

In your houseI long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone
Alone

Set It Off

He was standing at the rock
Gathering the flock
And getting there with no directions
And underneath the arch
It turned into a march
And there he found the spark to
Set this fucker off

He said set it off
Set it off now children
Set it right
Set it off
Set it off now children
Set it a fire

Suddenly a shot
Ripped into his heart
He lay in need of some attention
And there he played his card
Going into shock
The last thing that he said was
Set this fucker off

He said set it off
Set it off now children
Set it right
Set it off
Set it off now children
Set it a fire

Jesus at the back door
Everything is all right
All we need is some direction
Every time the wind blows
Everything you don't know
Turns into a revelation
And it all adds up inside your heart
Time is wasting

Shadow On The Sun

Once upon a time
I was of the mind
To lay your burden down
And leave you where you stood
And you believed I could
You'd seen it done before
I could read your thoughts
Tell you what you saw
And never say a word
Now all that is gone
Over with and done - never to return

I can't tell you why
People die alone
I can tell you I'm
A shadow of the sun

Staring at the loss
Looking for a cause
And never really sure
Nothing but a hole
To live without a soul
And nothing to be learned

I can tell you why
People go insane
I can show you how
You could do the same
I can tell you why
The end will never come
I can tell you I'm
A shadow on the sun

Shapes of every size
Move behind my eyes
Doors inside my head
Bolted from within
Every drop of flame
Lights a candle in
Memory of the one
Who lives inside my skin

I Am The Highway

Pearls and swine bereft of me
Long and weary my road has been
I was lost in the cities
Alone in the hills
No sorrow or pity for leaving I feel

I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky

Friends and liars don't wait for me
I'll get on all by myself
I put millions of miles
Under my heels
And still too close to you
I feel

I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky
I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightning
I am not your autumn moon
I am the night

Exploder

I met a man locked away
For things he hadn't done
Innocence on a ball and chain
He'll never feel the sun
Again on his face or roses
In his hands
But when he smiled at me
I could understand

If you're free you'll never see the walls
If your head is clear you'll never free fall
If you're right you'll never fear the wrong
If your head is high you'll never fear at all

There was a daughter of a man
Who took his life too young
She swore she'd never do the same
Then did just what he'd done
And a boy who's gone insane
Voices in his head
No one knows what they say
Now his mother's dead

If you're free you'll never see the walls
If your head is clear you'll never free fall
If you're right you'll never fear the wrong
If your head is high you'll never fear at all

There was a man who had a face
That looked a lot like me
I saw him in the mirror and
I fought him in the street
And when he turned away
I shot him in the head

Then I came to realize
I had killed myself

If you're free you'll never see the walls
If your head is clear you'll never free fall
If you're right you'll never fear the wrong
If your head is high you'll never fear at all

Hypnotize

Well if you set your mind upon it
I know that you can
You've got everything you wanted
You've done everything you planned
So let me make an offer
I'm only trying to help
You can make your load
Just a little lighter
All you got to do is share the wealth

Oh no don't you keep your
Good luck to yourself
Oh no don't keep your
Good luck to yourself

Well I know you got problems
I see it in your eyes
But if you want to live
To see the morning
Give it up to your brother
Or you'll get a surprise

Oh no don't you keep your
Good luck to yourself
Oh no don't keep your
Good luck to yourself

Well, it's time to see
You got to give or you're gonna receive
It's time to see
You got to live if you wanna believe
You can be

Bring 'Em Back Alive

I was on my way to the center of the sun
When I lost my wings and I fell into a crowd
And they carried me to the hole in the ground
And they buried me
Where no one could see
And no one would be around

I am a virus
I live in silence

I was on my way to a city in the clouds
When I lost my mind and I had to settle down
Then I had a dream of an island in the sea
Where the lepers die
Where no one survives
And no one can hear the cries

I am a virus
I live in silence

And just like the heathens thinking
On our feet we believe in God
And with one step, two steps
Three steps towards the graveyard
On the high road to remembering
It seems that we forgot

I am a virus
I live in silence

Light My Way

In my hour of need
On a sea of grey
On my knees I pray to you
Help me find the dawn
Of the dying day

Won't you light my way
Won't you light my way

A bullet is a man
From time to time he strays
I compare my life to this
To this I relate
And I'm willing
To listen to your answers
And I'm not ashamed
To tell you I need you today

Won't you light my way
Won't you light my way
So when I'm lost
Or I'm tired and depraved
Or when my high bullet
Goes astray
Won't you light my way

Getaway Car

The first time I saw you
You were chasing down a cyclone
All alone in a field
With rail yards and clovers
I kept rolling on and never thought
You'd wind up chasing me

Well settle down I won't hesitate
To hit the highway
Before you lay me to waste
Settle up and I'll help you find
Something to drive
Before you drive me insane

You're tired of walking and you
Loathe the ground
The sidewalk will barely
Touch your feet and life moves
Too slowly to hold you down
With ringing hands
You take it out on me

Well settle down I won't hesitate
To hit the highway
Before you lay me to waste
Settle up and I'll help you find
Something to drive
Before you drive me insane

The Last Remaining Light

Roll me on your frozen fields
Break my bones to watch them heal
Drown me in your thirsty viens
Where I'll watch and I'll wait
And pray for the rain
Curl like smoke and breath again
Down your throat inside your ribs
Through your spine in every nerve
Where I watch and wait and yield to the hurt

And if you don't believe
The sun will rise
Stand alone and greet
The coming night
In the last remaining light

Seven months and seven suns
Heaven waits for those who run
Down your winter and
Underneath your waves
Where you watch and wait
And pray for the day

And if you don't believe
The sun will rise
Stand alone and greet
The coming night
In the last remaining light

06. What brand of picks does he use?
Jim Dunlop 'Tortex' Purple Jazz.

07. How does he make some of those sounds?
SHADOW ON THE SUN GUITAR SOLO [Explained by Morello]:
However digitally altered this may sound, it's all live. Rather than using a guitar that has a toggle switch configured to one pickup off, on pickup on, the guitar has off, on, off, which allows for a 'Hummingbird Wing' effect.

COCHISE INTRO [Explained by Morello]:The 'helicopter effect' is created by using a really fast slap back delay and just whacking the strings.

LIKE A STONE SOLO [Explained by Morello]:Set your Digitech Whammy pedal two octaves up with the pedal fully depressed and a long delay on it. You just hit each note, bring it up two octaves, and the delay makes it sound epic.

WHAT YOU ARE SOLO [Explained by Morello]:This is all one performance with a Wah-Wah pedal. It's in three parts. The initial "Waooh" is a low B and it's followed by hitting all strings above the nut, which makes a sort of 'high end' sound. Then the third sound is the Whammy pedal set to a fifth, and you just manipule the Whammy pedal on your guitar to make that little shaky melody. Then, at the end of each of the phrases it's just toggling while making the bar go through the sweep of the pedal. Don't worry, it sounds much more complicated than it is.

BRING 'EM BACK ALIVE SOLO [Explained by Morello]:This requires a non-stop feedback snake to hold for the whole solo. This is created using the bridge pickup

09. Where can I find Audioslave guitar tablature?

Tim grew up in Southern California, yet he has not publicly revealed his birth-date. He's believed to be in his late-thirties.

02. When did he take up bass?
He was introduced to bass by Zack de la Rocha in high-school.

03. How much of his body is tattooed and why?
In the early days of Rage Tim had several tattoos which are now covered. They were:

A black arm on his left bicep which was done out of respect for his mother, probably done around 1986.
A praying mantis on his right pectoral which might have been there before the black arm band.
The right side of his back was inked with a huge face and 'the evil eye'.
A green man (Celtic god?) tattoo on his right bicep.

These tattoos existed up until '96 when he had the right side of his chest and arm completely filled in with a contouring solid ink shield. By 1999 Tim had work completed on his back, down to his tailbone and matched up the left side of his chest and arm with the exact same solid contouring ink pattern of his right side. Similar designs now also cover his buttocks and left leg.Though some say the spinning wheel design on his shoulders is a pagan symbol (which may prove consistent with his original 'green man' tattoo and the overall Celtic warrior-esque nature of his tattoo designs) the most detailed sources site the symbols featured as such:

TOMOYEOKINAWAN KARATE SYMBOL "The design featured on the Okinawan Karate Patch was originally the seal of the Okinawan king, Sho-ha-shi. The king would place this seal on all government official documents to ensure that no one would read the documents as well as to prove that any orders inside the document were by the authority of the king." (May be some representation of Tim's secretive nature?) The Black and White colors represent the opposites of Yin and Yang. It is also natural for a seal to only consist of one color (in this case black) on a white document. The circular nature of the patch represents perfection. A circle is never ending. It has no beginning and no end.

Tim also signed his infamous note "Our Father" with the numbers 999. (999 is a mathematical term for the continuation symbol; Tim's mother was a gifted mathematician.)

Tim says that getting the tattoos is a painful process, but the test of endurance and feeling of accomplishment makes it worth it. Sometimes he stands naked in the mirror and surveys himself, like a work of art.

04. What are his hobbies outside music?
Poetry, writing, drawing, touch football, rock climbing, mountain-bike riding and various other sports to name a few.

05. What bands has he been a part of before Audioslave?
None besides Rage Against The Machine, as far as I'm aware.

06. What are his musical influences?
He enjoys listening to jazz (and the great jazz bassists), as well as rock, punk and hip-hop music. These influences have helped develop his signature fusion of styles.

07. Does he play any other instruments?
In his spare time Tim spends more time playing upright-bass than electric bass.

08. Is it true he changed his name on every Rage record?

----Band

01. Why did Rage Against The Machine break up?
Due to tensions between all members of the band in that environment, and due to increasing distance from the vocalist Zack de la Rocha. On the 'Renegades' album, vocals were recorded in a separate studio and later added to the music.

02. Why did Soundgarden break up?
Due to general tensions between band members and difficulty writing music together.

03. Why did Chris and the band from Rage get together?
The union was originally recommended by famous producer Rick Rubin who has handled such bands as Silverchair, System of a Down, Tool, The Mars Volta, Rage Against The Machine, Beastie Boys, Slayer, Run D.M.C, Public Enemy, L. L. Cool J, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mick Jagger, Tom Petty and now Audioslave.

Chris had been a much admired vocalist by all the members of Rage, and the band found an instant musical and personal chemistry together. They say they felt like a unit immediately, and wrote three songs in week 1.

04. Is it true the band split up at one point?
Due to management problems the band split up for a short time until an agreement was reached between the two companies managing the business side of things. EPIC was to manage this 'Audioslave' record, 'The Firm' was to manage the second Audioslave album.

05. Weren't they originally called 'Civilian'?
Yes, but then they found out the name was taken.

06. How did they decide on the name 'Audioslave'?
The name Audioslave came to Chris in a shaman-like vision. You don't argue with those. However, this name was also taken by a little-known English band, who were then paid 30,000 dollars for use of the moniker.

07. Why did Chris decide not to play guitar?
Originally Chris was jamming along with Tom on guitar, but it was decided that it was much easier to let Tom handle that area of things and let Chris concentrate on his vocals. However, Chris helps to write some of the music.

08. Where and when did they first perform together?
Their first live performance was the shooting of the Cochise video. Soon afterwards they performed a few un-announced shows at bars around California, and then their first major performance on the Ed Sullivan Theatre Rooftop for The David Letterman show.

C) Rumors

01. Audioslave are a one off project, aren't they?
Their second album is due out in May, with Be Yourself as the first single. The release will be followed by a world tour throughout 2005. Audioslave are as much a band as U2.

02. Is it true that Chris won't write any political songs?
You may have heard that Chris wouldn't join the band if they were political. When this was mentioned to Chris in an interview at KROQ radio, he said he had heard a lot of rumors, but not that one. Though his lyrics are not as blatantly political as those of Zack de la Rocha, some of his lyrics are clearly influenced by current affairs and his thoughts and feelings on these. At Audioslave shows the band have proudly displayed a stance against war, and Chris performed a gig in Milan wearing black camouflage paint and a U.S army uniform. Audioslave are not a 'political' band, but they have political opinions just like most people.

03. Was the Like A Stone video shot in a house Hendrix lived in?
There's a rumor that Jimmi Hendrix wrote Purple Haze while living in that house. When this was put to Chris, he said that was impossible because Purple Haze was written when Hendrix was virtually unknown.

04. Is Eddie Vedder thanked in the Audioslave CD booklet?
Yes, under the name Wes C.Adle.

05. I see Serj Tankian's name in the CD Booklet too!
Yeah, that's because Tom Morello runs an organization called 'Axis Of Justice' with him. The function of the organization is to empower young people with information on issues that affect them, and teach them ways to get involved. Serj is most famous for is work as vocalist of System Of A Down, but is also a member of collaboration 'Serart' with folk artist Arto Tuncboyaciyan.

D) Videos

01. Is it true one of the guys got burned in the Cochise video?
Yes - Brad Wilk received some minor burns to the back and scalp from all the fireworks going off not far behind him.

02. Is Tim's kid in the Like A Stone video?
Yep - that's the little fella up on his dad's shoulders.

03. Is the SMHTL video was based on a 70's car chase movie?
Yes, the movie is called Vanishing Point, and quite a bit of the footage in the video is from that film.
