Rage Against the Machine fans and Audioslave fans?

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.

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.

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.
