Fucking Awesome song: Audioslave's "Doesn't Remind me of Anything

[LynneSin]

I'm so digging this song -it's got such a great groove to it. Didn't realize they played it in their Live8 set (have to confess I didn't know much about the band until about 2 weeks ago).

Any other Audioslave fans out there?

1. Heard it yesterday

Awesome song. Can't say I was a fan before, but I'm really digging that song!

2. Of course.

As a Soundgarden fan, it's as close as we're gonna get.

It's not like Chris Cornell left Soundgarden and started a reggae or salsa or acid jazz band or somethin'...it's original music, not what I'd call a "Soundgarden rip-off," in the same way that Wings wasn't a "Beatles rip-off." Can't rip yourself off, can ya?

I've got both of the Audioslave CDs, couldn't live without 'em.

5. Chris Cornell is also fucking hot and he's older than me

I think he looks so much better with the short hair too!

:loveya:

I think I'm in lust!

8. He's the only "Grunge Vocalist Of Merit" to have survived and moved on.

Kurt Cobain?

GONE.

Alice In Chains' Layne Staley?

GONE.

Chris Cornell?

A living, healthy, talented kick-ass motherf**ker in 2005.

HELLO CLEVELAND!

...and before I get FLAMED by FOO FIGHTERS fans, yes...Dave Grohl is still rockin' admirably in the free world...but he WAS NOT the "lead vocalist" of Nirvana. Foo Fighters are a NEW THANG, y'all...

9. What about Eddie Vedder - Pearl Jam is still pretty important

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

10. I knew I missed someone...

...but I also have to admit that Pearl Jam lost me when they issued about 200 gazillion "plain brown paper wrapper legal bootleg" CDs...

...and I'd be lying if I said that anything they've done recently...really, REALLY "recently"...caught my attention.

But yes, I agree, Eddie is a survivor, Eddie is still standing, and so I SALUTE Eddie.

11. I liked those bootlegs

I saw Pearl Jam in concert once and then I bought the "Bootleg" CD of it. It was a nice way to remember the concert (which btw, rocked!)

I think Pearl Jam is in a slow period but they're overdue to hit it really big again. But yeah, right now Cornell is kicking his butt!

3. I love Audioslave!

They are my fav band right now!

[I Know How To Do it]

4. They are really being pushed now by Sony. They were specifically

mentioned in the Sony Payola lawsuit the other day.

[supernova]

6. That's sad

I think they'd be popular w/o the payola.

[I Know How To Do it]

7. Popular isn't enough. They need to be Super Uber popular. Here's the quote

"Audioslave was linked to the scandal in a series of dispatches that showed VPs would do virtually anything to get an add at stations in large markets. "What do I have to do to get Audioslave on WKSS this week?" one missive read. "Whatever you can dream up, I can make it happen."
