Well, I definitely do not understand what you guys mean by "what did you expect" because the first Audioslave album kicks MAJOR ass. This single is very disappointing, but you are all fucking stupider than hell if you dont think that is a great album.
is was a great album. but compared to RATM it was a bubbling cauldron of liquid shit.

I actually never really liked them. Well, at first I liked this one song, but then it got way overplayed. Sound Garden is a great band though.

no,.....SG and RATM,were great bands.
the combining of members from both into the commercial and craptastic audioslave has been nothing but an extreme disappointment from day 1,nothing but a marketing ploy to get cornell more heroin money.
morello slept through his guitar parts on the first disc in comparison to stuff he did in rage,and I expect the next disc to be the same,boring,churned out,overproduced drivel very similar to all their stuff that sounds the same from song to song.
snooze-o-rama.
YMMV

Ofcoz you will think it sucks ass if you compare to RATM. What do you want? Cornell to start rapping? Lay down some phat beats?
They're totally different band and you can't expect them to do the same as they did in RATM. I rekon they are pretty decent hardrock band. I havent heard the new single though, but they have good soft songs like, Like a stoner and I am the highway.

It's pretty hard not to compare them with RATM, since they basically are Rage without Zak. If there was an even amount of members from both bands, you could possibly call them a "super group" or orginal, but they are just Rage with Cornell.

Audioslave have the rare yet amazing ability of actually making rock music dull. How is this possible? Audioslave make it so! They're songs drone on and on and on. They're just plain boring.

Their first album was pretty good. But there new song is just horrible.

Thank you.

I'm sure there will be heavier songs on the album, but a few slower songs are fine - there's no need to complain about that. Like A Stone and The Last Remaining Light were both good slower songs. Be Yourself could be better, but it could be a whole lot worse.

its audioslave. what did you expect?

Just what the hell do you mean by that? When you have in my opinion, one of the best guitarists, and one of the best drummers, alive today, you can't go too far wrong. Not to mention Chris Cornell is a great singer. Just take them for them. Not comparing them to their old selves all the time.
Audioslave have the rare yet amazing ability of actually making rock music dull.

What they're doing is moving the current rock music spectrum away from New Found Glory, and further toward Led Zeppelin (which is something that really needs to be done by somebody). Basically a 21st Century band with a classic sound. The first time I heard Audioslave, and I know exactly when it was - February 2004, my first thought was Led Zeppelin.

.

You say that like that automatically makes them a good band, which clearly it hasn't, and won't do in the future either. Cornell is past it, his live vocals used to be bad in his SG days but they are fucking abysmal now. He was a great song writer and is one of my favourite male vocalists, but Audioslave are nothing without their past. If this band had just turned up off the street we wouldn't even be talking about them now because they are not good enough. The fact RATM were great and the garden was is the only thing keeping this band in most peoples radar. Morello and Cornell need to pull their fucking thumbs out and be creative again. 'Be yourself' is a sorry sorry excuse for a song, i'd go as far to say that i could have written that song (that's how little i think of it)

edit: So you know, i thought the first album was pretty but it didn't make me wet

Well you know what? Audioslave is the only thing that put RATM and SG on my radar. And there has to be more people like me. Because when they were popular, I wasn't listening to stations that played them. I had never even heard the name Soundgarden until after Audioslave was in existence. And I only had a vague knowledge of RATM, and didn't like it. Now I like both very much. And why's that? Because Audioslave exists.

and if audioslave didn't exist us real RATM fans wouldn't have to worry about assholes like you, who only like the band beacause of its crappy succesor.

RATM>SG>cauldron of liquid shit>audioslave.

Minus the shit, you are right, honestly. But they're still quite good I think.

My favorite Audioslave song is Like a Stone. Anyone with me?

The first time I heard Be Yourself I had to change the radio station and then when I turned back they said it was the new Audioslave single and I wanted to punch Audioslave in the face for making this piece of crap.

All this Audioslave talk begs an important question;

Rage or Soundgarden?

your insane.
for one,morello relies mostly on manipulation of effects,rather than actual guitar playing ability.
Jimmy Page was one of the people who defined rock n roll guitar,now,I like morello,but no way in hell could I even attempt to put him in league with page or zeppelin.
audioslave is but a mere shadow of the 2 former bands it shares members with,theres no way that band will ever have the impact on music that a band like zeppelin did. people like AS,and thats fine,but to try and put them in the same catagory with a legendary band such as zeppelin is just plain comical.
put down the crack pipe.

I agree it's really retarded for someone to say that AS started a movement towards classic rock and that they sound like Zeppelin in any way. But I'd have to say that as far as sheer technical ability goes, sadly, Morello could play more technically challenging things than Page is/was able to. It's Pages' creativity and amazing improv that made him the legendary guitarist that he is.

well,he could perhaps,..but doesnt.
page may not be a 'techincal' guitar player,but certainly,neither is morello.
in fact I would put Tom Morello in the low end of the technical guitarist spectrum. if only for the fact I have never heard him play much of anything that could be considered 'technical'. it all seems to be manipulation of effects and technology,more than his skill level.
but,maybe theres something in some of the older rage stuff I havent heard where he stretches out a bit,as I havent checked out ALL of RATMs stuff.

Light My Way. Very underrated. Should have been released as a single to placate diehard Rage fans. With the exception of maybe Gasoline, that sounds the most like Rage.

Saying they're somewhat sonically similar ( <-- not intended ;) ) is not the same as putting them on equal ground. A fool would do that. I'm not a fool.

I like Audioslave, and even I agree that their single sucked. Kind of a bad choice...

Well, just because I want to resolve this, go here (http://www.myspace.com/audioslave) to listen to their entire new album. It's legal, the band posted it themselves. It might be a repost, but if it is then may I be damned to hell.

I just read in Rolling Stone that Tim Commerford called one of their new songs, "The Worm", "One of the heaviest songs ever written in the history of the world."

I sure hope he's right.

Yes, but you agreed on what he said. So, it's like your opinion also.

You really need to go listen to their first album. Morello is one of the more techincally talented guitarists of our time, it shouldnt be hard to see from listening to most of their albums.

mmmmm.....well,...I guess we're just gonna have to agree to disagree here.
when I think of technical guitarists I think more of guys like Vai,Petrucci,Holdsworth etc.
I honestly cant EVEN begin to put morello anywhere near that group of players.
but,if you say he's technical,..I'll just have to take your word for it,cuz I hate audioSALVE :D and have no desire to punish myself with a forced listen to stuff I've,in my opinion, already heard too much of. ;)

Point is, I've never heard the song, so I can't confirm or dispute his claim. But just because he's him, I'd say it's a better than 50% chance of being true.

Yah I really hate Audioslave too. And the guitar players you listed of course blow Morello out of the water, specifically Holdsworth, he is a god among men. But to be honest, I think that all Petrucci has going for him is blistering speed, and I've heard Morello play just as fast as Petrucci many times. But yah, Morello isn't really worth listening to anymore now that hes in a shitty ass band so meh.

Well, I just got ahold of the disc. I would have gotten it sooner than almost 2 months after the release if I wasn't so light in the pockets right now. :rolleyes: Anyway, I hate to say it, but said song is no heavier than any other loud Audioslave/Rage song. What I can say however is that it has the weirdest Morello squeak/slide solo that I've ever heard in any of the 2 Rage CDs I have and the first Audioslave CD. Also in this song, Chris Cornell does the most seemingly difficult/strained vocals in almost any song I've heard him sing, except for "Superunknown". I have to admit, he doesn't push himself too often (but even when he's lazy, he's good), but he did here.

It's just too bad he can't sing that way live, where it actually counts.

Audioslave kicks ass, the new album kicks ass, Be Yourself is a good song.
People have theyre tastes in music, I personally think Audioslave is the only good thing going in new music today. Best song off the new album is Number 1 Zero. My Favorite sing is Light My Way. I personally liked Soundgarden more then rage, maybe thats why i really enjoy Audioslaves music, because Chris Cornell adds so much to the music. Didnt mind rage but i still think the band is a better fit with Cornell.

Wait a sec. I just listened to this whole CD, and it's actually pretty badass. I realy didn't like the first CD at all, but this is actually semi decent. It had the normal Audioslave songs that you feel like you've already heard a billion fucking times. But, there were some good tracks in there that really stood out.

07-16-2005, 08:01 PM

I am EXTREMELY angry with this... listen to the lyrics... ugh... :(

Has anyone else heard this song? "Be Yourself" seriously, what the fuck

I personally love that song. I have the cd but haven't listened to it much. From what I've heard, I like it. :rolleyes:

Audioslave is a very good band, along with Soundgarden and Rage against the machine..and I hate it how you poser metal head kids think that a song called be yourself is selling out. Heck, Nirvana practicaly created "emo" and they haven't "sold out" even though Kurt thought they had with Nevermind and the success of SLTS. Why don't all of you grow up and respect their musical talents, because trust me..they are better than you. :censor:

Especially the track called "Doesnt remind me" is like a sesame street anthem that leaves you like what the $%^$?

I can imagine that song on sesame street, now that he mentions it. Still a nice song though.

This CD is better, and its not a clone of the first.
