I here some are now looking at the Audioslave era like Van Halen fans look at the Van Hagar era. I say hogwash to that. Audioslave was trying to do its own thing and made some pretty damn good records in the process. They weren't Rage and they weren't Soundgarden, but they were good.

if you wanna go WAY back i saw soundgarden open up for skid row (gasp!!) in like 92 at the fox i think. the sound was pretty crummy though so i could barely make out cornell's vocals. not his fault of course.
as for audioslave.... they were just never my thing. i agree that they were a totally new band trying to make their own mark but for some reason all the talent in the band never added up to great songwriting if you ask me. i always loved chris's first solo album and i was thrilled when i heard audioslave broke up and that he was gonna make another solo album. from what i've read he seems much happier making music on his own.
