Late news. Actually pretty embarrasing, being I a great fan of Audioslave. I just can't believe it.

I just happened to check out Chris Cornell's MySpace profile a couple of days ago, and I found some nice tracks that he released in his new album 'Carry On' which saw light recently. Well, how the hell I didn't know about it? Simple, no effective radio stations around. I just heard the theme song he recorded for the last James Bond film "You know my name", but that was it. I mean, this stupid radio station which is supposed to be the best around, just doesn't play stuff that is a bit too loud. And I must protest against the black music industry that is killing other music genres. I just hate black music. If there is a music genre you could tuck in as black that I like, it would be blues. That's it. About R'nB and today's rap or hip-hop, I just hope those music genres fade away and die.

Now, the album was released recently, but I didn't even check for any Cornell solo album because I was pretty sure that he wasn't the same as a solo artist. But the guy seems to be not only a bit selfish, but also a pure nerd that keeps trying. I just found out about the album, and I got a bad feeling. I checked today some stuff in YouTube and found little comments such as "May Cornell have luck in his new career", or "We'll keep Audioslave's legacy". And I was thinking to myself - "What the hell? It can't be true!". Checking Audioslave's MySpace profile I found out that there were no tour dates or anything, meaning only that the band was dead. But I needed proof.

I tried to google "Audioslave" but the search bar suggested "Audioslave break up". And it was it. I got the proof, the anger and also some sadness, and nothing could be done. They split up on February just as Cornell fested over his new recordings. What happened is that Cornell wanted commercial stuff of his own on Audioslave. Morello, who happened to be Brad Wilk's and Tim Commerford's "father" wanted some political stuff on as well. And that was the trigger resulting in Cornell deciding he wanted to play music he liked. Good for him. Audioslave is dead now, and a bunch of fans like myself are left behind crying.

But for every sad story there is also the bright side.
Tom Morello has impressed me with his album "One man revolution" which was released by him as "The Nightwatchman", a political act that plays mainly in front of small auditions. The guy has showed now that he can sing pretty well, rocking a classical guitar instead of an electric. The guy amazes me just like when he is making an electric guitar sing. Good album. Very quiet and acoustic, but with great lyrics and good performance. Now that Audioslave's history, Tom wants to focus on his solo career. He got dried from Audioslave, and he needed some political stuff to bring him to life.

Another good thing is that Rage Against the Machine will probably be back. As for now, they agreed (remember, 6 years of silence) to have a few concerts. I just got the word that they even got some gig in december. It couldn't be better, RATM alive and full as never before. Tom got what he needed and I, as thousands and thousands of fans, are very happy with it.

And those were some news.
Good Night.


P.S. To anyone interested in knowing why am I posting this thing: 1) I love RATM and just wanted to spread the word. 2) Those were news that marked the week. 3)I'm just trying to build an effective "review tone" and capabilities of writing. I just feel I must open in this way of writing. Enjoy.
