The first RATM album was a hammer which had a big impact on me when I was a teenager. The second one was good, and THAT was a problem: "Evil Empire" shouldn't have been good, it should have BETTER.
So, I quickly lost any interest in the band and completed my collection of Fishbone, Urban Dance Squand and Living Colour. But when talking about Audioslave... An uncanny graft that sounded artificial to my ears. I first thought it was a joke, then I thought: "Robert Smith teaming with the Dead Kennedys". Yes. It sounded as weird as that to me. |

I have never bothered to check out Audioslave though I love both RatM and Soundgarden. Heard some stuff on the radio that's alright, but nothing overly interesting.

There is something about the funky hard rock of "Revelations" that is impossible to resist. RATM are a band I've really grown to like, at first I dismissed them but their politically charged lyrics won me over. Zack's voice annoys me slightly but the message he conveys is very powerful and with the powerhouse of Tom Morello behind them they are now up there with my favourite bands.
So there are lovers of RATM and Audioslave.

RATM was my favorite band for a long time.
Since I'm a Chris Cornell fan, I liked Audioslave, not as much as Rage but they had some cool songs. The self-titled Audioslave album was pretty intense, it's one of my favorite's of this decade. |

I never got into either of the bands because at the age when it was cool to get into them I started digging classic rock instead and then tastes went in a direction that had no link to those bands.

I was reffering to the Prog Fans that say that music that goes: verse-chorus-verse-chorus-10 sec solo-chorus, and think that's crap. I wasn't reffering to everyone that listens to Prog, if that's what you understand I'm sorry if you've been offensed(or offended?) |

I'm a Rage fan, although i'm not that keen on Audioslave. System of the Down are also brilliant.

Try, Primer 55 "The (New) Release" album. Let me know what you think. I'm with you here, but I absolutely love this album.
The absolutely craziest pit, I've ever been in, was RATM. Usually you can hang back and avoid being slammed into, but at the RATM there was NO safe place in general admission whatsoever... place went absolutely nuts. I fell in love at that very moment
I love Chris Cornell. Think he has one of the most unique voices in Rock. Audioslave's albums miss for me, I just feel that they really could be so much better.
Anyway...

I think, maybe, you're a little harsh there Goldenspiral. But, I don't really disagree with you, lol. Rather than form a new band, it is like they tried Rage with a new vocalist, and it doesn't work. And I don't know why I said De La Hoya. I thought that was his name for so long, I don't know why. Old habits die hard I guess. |

morello and the entire band actually played with such a GROOVE. thats the biggest thing i come away with from rage's music is the pure funk groove. hard to mimic.

I love Rage, but I don't really care for Audioslave. Morello's guitar style seemed more like a natural compliment to Zach de la Rocha's angry ranting rather than Chris Cornell's wail. Cornell's best work was with Soundgarden. |

I love me some rage
ghost of tom jode is an absolute favorite of mine regardless of genre. morello could write riffs like few could. crazy guitar effects too from bending the neck and all other sorts of weirdness. i like! audioslave not so much. and rage is touring! that'd be a killer show id love to go. |

I Rage big time.
They were an absolutely visionary band in late 90s popular music. I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE Audioslave. Seriously. given the people who are in that band they should be infinitely better than they are. They have the talent to make maybe the best popular rock records ever, but they choose to make music that's bland, boring, trite, and pretty much an insult to our intelligence and their talents. |
