Great stuff. I'm not a big Soundgarden fan but absolutely love RATM. If you like something a bit heavier, you'll love this | |

Been waiting for this for ages. It's a big event when you think about it... The three remaining members of Rage Against The Machine teaming up with Soundgarden and Kurt Cobain-equal Chris Cornell. It lives up to the hype in my opinion. Tom Morello can still do unimaginable things with a guitar, and Cornell's voice is better than ever.
But its not just about the hugeness of the band, the songs aren't just there for the sake of it. This is top stuff. Some of the best pure rock music I've heard for fricking ages.

Im getting a bit of deja vue, has there not already been a posting about audioslave ? Not to worry I will just go with the flow, its probably one of them parallel universe thingies anyway.
I listened to a track on their website and apart from the opening bars was a bit disappointed, er sounded like Soundgarden mixed with RATM
Now I loved the first RATM album, awesome stuff and Badmotorfinger. But this sounds like a watered down version of both, a bit like mixing cider and beer, snakebites are all right for a couple of pints , but no one seriously drinks them.
Nowhere near as good as The White Stripes ( provocation thread )

Yep thats me...I don't mind though!
The reason I wrote it in two words was thats how it was on their website which has now changed.
Good CD though, abit of a grower mind but once it gets you it gets you...like all good CD's I suppose!
Check it out and give them some support or they will fade away and we will be left with more crap music!!!
Regards,

Bought this today. Have listened to the first four tracks, its pretty good, might need some time to grow on me. Very RATM, as is expected, christ its loud though.

I dont imagine its a 'sit down and listen to the full thing' album. I will need to listen to it in bits.
Have to say it again though...........its bloody loud and Im the sort that has 11 on my hifi system, too much riding bikes without earplugs I suppose. On a decent system this thing really thunders.
Almost had an 'air guitar moment'

Having said that, it's great in the car or walkman while on the move rather than sitting down Quote: Originally posted by karkus30 Im the sort that has 11 on my hifi system | Spinal Tap | |

Christopher Guests other movies are also good if you haven't seen them - i.e. Best In Show and WAiting for Guffman , hilarious | |

Thanks: Gave 44, Got 139 | Funny, but Ive never thought to seek out any movies by CG, thanks for the info. Presume they are out on DVD, I shall go and check your DVD list as you appear to have more discs than anyone else including the lowly DVD God (must be a minor diety)

Yes, they are definitely out on DVD as I have them both  They're both spoof documentaries, like Spinal Tap.
They can both be had quite cheaply (about £7-£8). I got Waiting for Guffman from www.absound.ca (it's only available on R1). I got Best In Show R2 from Play - I think they're doing it cheap right now.
