New Audioslave Album · Music Discussion

Valharu I see your point in saying that Morello's style worked better with Rage but I think calling him self absorbed was a stupid way to put it.

Valharu Where's my beer woman????

This can mean that you don't think his solos are decent now because he's too self-absorbed? I honestly don't see how you can deduce that from the music. I'm further puzzled at how you can say "Fine with Rage" as if he's working with different band members.

C'mon AC. No one may agree with my points. But surely its not hard to understand where I'm coming from. Or is it only you.

No, it is hard to understand where you're coming from.

Is there such thing as a self-indulgent solo? Maybe, but it's a bit of a paradox. I personally never find his solos to be out of place. Even so, I'd rather them stand out than have some identikit boring solo.

Understood. I just wish there was some melody to go with the songs. But I do have the albums. And its mostly Out of Exile I have the issues with. Enough said.

You mean a tautology. That phrase is the opposite of a paradox.

Yih.

There's plenty of melody. Getaway Car, The Last Remaining Light, Doesn't Remind Me, Yesterday to Tomorrow etc.

Word to AC's momma. She taught dat boy well.

What does everybody think of this new song, "Original Fire"?

I'm a bit disappointed with it, honestly. It's kind of... boring.

Alpha Centauri Restricted

I think it's brilliant. I'm glad they're going to a more soulful rock style, it suits them better.

Darth Revan -

I like the style, and I agree that it suits them, but the song itself is a little repetitive. I can see the new album being good (mediocre first singles and all), but Original Fire just feels watered down and, dare I say, weak.

You know me, dogg. I'm all about that shit.

Seriously, the more I hear that tune, the more I think it's the bombtrack.

Unbelievers can hear it here...

You're a stupid question.

Sidenote: Oooo, I'm finally going to see Miami Vice tonight...Yeahhhhh. I heard there's a couple of new Audioslave tracks in it...Ooooo, yeahhhhhh.

Yeahhhhhh, oooooo.

I'm listening to Original Fire now. Its spectacular. I dont think its boring at all. They've got the same amazing voice of the band, with a new kind of sound. Its got a mixture of influences from different kind of music. I sense some old time blues, Rock, and all of that good stuff. Nice and soulful. Got to love that guys voice, too.

Well, don't know about the Audioslave tracks, but (at least over here) they promote it with numb by linkin park...I figured the movie sucks....

Ya Krunk'd Floo Moving with the swell.

Nah, duuuuuuude...The movie was awsome...like, totally awesome. Really.

I do believe I heard a couple of Audioslave tracks in the movie, but they don't appear on the soundtrack. Either way, the tracks I heard were, like, totally awesome. Really. I guess Mann must be an Audioslave fan...either that or he just likes their music. Wait...Is that right, AC? Maybe I should say he's a fan of their music, but he probably doesn't own a t-shirt. Wait...Eh...No, I'm confused.
