Audioslave
 

"Be Yourself"

I like it, you?

It's awesome... They are going to release a new cd in May, and start touring in April. I hope I can get tickets to one of their shows.
I am as gitty as a school girl on crack cocaine.
:) :tramp:

they're total crap

Woooohoooo more reheated leftovers from the grunge era , I can hardly wait.

What the f*ck are you talking about! Audioslave kicks ass! Go listen to the she-birds and elephants, or any other underground sh!t band. Sublime rocks too.

I`m more of a Chesney Hawkes man myself thanks

Oh, I'm sorry. You listen to "Chesney Hawkes" in stead of she-birds and elephants. My mistake.

I'm looking forward to it.
but i really must ask. For those of you who dont' like this band. why waste your "valuable" (snicker) time typing that you don't like this band.
grow the **** up. You're opinions aren't that "cool' either, kids.
so leave the band threads to those who want to discuss a band. If you have constructive critisism. That's welcome. But if you think a band "sucks" (that's the intelligable word isn't it?), good enough for you. Tell it to your ****ing parents. We know opinions are our own. But ignorance also flares up in society. Respect music. and respect opinions. (those who are ignorant are a slap in the face to music, a substance that is acceptance).



:usehead: :hphones:

Their opinions are never cool, but they think their opinions make them cool. overacted sarcasm was cool in '95...in disney films.

I'll just pretend that I watch Disney films from '95.

Thats the way.

who the **** is the shebirds and elephants ?

Oh please get the violins out , I slagged off a band you love. Get over it.

The topic of this thread is New Audioslave , not The Offical Audioslave Hero Worship page. This thread is asking what people think & I added my opinion. Thats what you do on a message board if you want to read pages of

Audioslave are cool
I love their album
Chris Cornell rocks
ect
ect
ect
ect
ect
ect
ect

Go to their website & join the forum there.

Its "etc." not "ect", but I don't really care. I just wanna start an arguement.

Well maybe you should try starting one who gives a toss about grammar.

That's a run-on sentence. Consider revising.

I don't understand how saying a band sucks makes someone ignorant. I understand people being sensitive about a band they really like, but in order to respect music and opinions, you'd have to do the same with people who don't like your music. Correct? I dont think musicbanter threads are created such that only fans are allowed to respond. Like Urban said, we're here to put our opinions. And like you said, we have to respect it.

BTW, merely saying a band sucks is just as unspecific and uninspired as merely saying you like them. Correct?

I didn`t even say they sucked anyway

Hate to say it but I think it's UBER crap.

What does everyone think of the new audioslave album
 

I dont like it very much. I think its very bland. id give it a 2/5, maybe it will grow on me, but I just cant get into it right away.

Personally I think Audioslave is just a Rage Against the Machine breakoff ensemble with Chris Cornell as a leading puppet.
I really wish that both Soundgarden and RATM had stayed together longer but 'twasn't meant to be.
I do like Cornell's vocals though so even though I might like that...
I don't think I'd like the band overall just because of my state of mind.

IMO Chris voice does not fit the style of music they are playing in audioslave. It just does not mesh well.

it does mesh well but there's just something missing...it's neither RATM nor Soundgarder, although i would say it's closer to Soundgarden...it's just not clicking with me...

I prefer it over their debut album by far..... although the song "Be Yourself" is kind of annoying.

I havent heard it yet but going by their first album audioslave has that empty feeling...like, the music is enjoyable but it is nothing special. I like audioslave but its the kind of band that if you had to name your favourite 20bands audioslave wouldnt even enter your head...not coz u dont like it, just you cant remember they exist.

You're saying that two of the most popular bands from the 90's that joined together to make a band with one Soundgarden member and three Rage member's wouldn't even pop into your head. It might just be me, but I find that a little hard to believe. Regardless of your opinion on their music.

:usehead: :stupid:

I have two words for you. Velvet Revelover.
They are the same. 3 Memembers from one of the biggest bands on the planet ever and the lead singer from one of the biggest alt bands of other 90s put them together and what do you get? A very medoicre album(s).

^
I actually favored the Contraband album.
Much more so than Audioslave.
I mean GnR and STP kind of 'click together' a little bit.
RATM and Soundgarden don't click whatsoever in my mind.

I Dunno' Chris Cornell With the RATM dudes, its kinda' like beer and chocolate: both are really good, but for some reason they don't go so well together.

Yes pretty much, i mean, i accept they are good, and i dont dispute that i like them, coz i do. Just two greats mix together to make an average...

I agree with Draven, GnR and STP form together, previously from two majorly succesful bands and produce a band that has great music but it has no edge, it has no "impact". Its like its just there to please you for the day then you move on to tomorrows album

Too much new stuff around to bother with someone who are 10 years past their sell by date

I didn't know they had another album out so I've not heard it yet. The last one made me think it's a shame some people don't know when to quit.

Out of Exile
 

Anyone pick up the new audioslave? That "Doesn't remind me" song reminds me of Blind Melon (ironically enough).

I don't know, seems alright, Its adult contemporary oriented but at least their not rtying to be their former bands, and that takes balls. ANyone got a review?

Na i dont like it, the songs aren't distinctive, i've listened to it twice and i cant remember any of the songs because they were all so similar.

I prefer when chris cornell used his vocals in a hard style, like on their self titled cd with tracks like Show Me How to Live, Like a Stone and Gasoline. Those songs had personality. I think the new audioslave album is repititive and boring. They can do so much better.

like a stone was hard?

No but his vocals were fairly powerful.

Hey the big 1000 posts TB3KMRD lol

Nope, but I've been thinking of getting it. Sounds like a pretty good album to me.

your time has come is the best track

Someone said to me they thought "doesn't remind me" was pearl jam, and until the chorus I could see that. Thats rather complimentry, and yes "Your time has come" is pretty awesome.
