Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not anti-Republican entirely. Nor am I 100% pro-Democrat. I vote for whoever I like best. Just so happens that Republicans have been looking like dipshits in the last couple of years. I can't help that. They should, but I can't.

Of course, look who they picked as their leader; that should explain everything.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Yeah, they had a chance to run with McCain, but they picked the name.

I would like to see "The Gumball Rally" (1976), "The Red Tent" (1971), and "The White Dawn" (1973) on dvd.

Is it just me, or does Audioslave sound more like Soundgarden than RATM. I find that ironic, since Chris Cornell is only one member of the band. Of course, maybe it's just that Tom Morello and Co. were so overjoyed to get a vocalist who could actually sing.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

That was my complaint with Audioslave. We have 75% of RATM in the band and their sound moved more towards the minority membership. I was so looking forward to a new style of singing from Cornell when I heard the band was formed. I was so let down.

At the same time, when you have a personality as strong as Cornell's, it's hard to overpower that.

But what ticks me off is that Tom Morello said in countless interviews that the only reason he plays guitar in a band is because Rage (at that time) always made it a point to be political. They always had something to say. He told the interviewer(s) that if he had nothing to say, he would quit. Well, I can't say that Audioslave has much of a socially conscious message, so why's he still doing it? His guitarwork with Audioslave is pitiful when compared to his Rage work. He was so inventive with Rage. The only good thing to come from Audioslave is that Commerford and Wilk can be a bit more creative. They always were overshadowed by Morello and Zack de la Rocha. Other than that, Audioslave ain't that great.

Of course, it is only their first album as Audioslave. Cornell may be exploring new possibilities now, which will have an effect on the next one. Remember how much better OU812 was than 5150 for Van Halen.

Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Yeah, but the only thing that changed with VH was that Sammy finally contributed to the songs. 5150 was written before Sammy was brought on board. They still sound like VH from one album to the other. It's gonna take a lot more for Audioslave to make a change. The two bands have completely different sounds (RATM and Soundgarden).
