Today I made an Audioslave-focused blog. I'll most likely discuss and post on other stuff as well, but my intent is to make a place for me to share and post audio/video from great bands. Audioslave/U2/RATM/Soundgarden/Neil Young/Bob Dylan... you name it!
So, does anyone on here have a blog? I was thinking we could co-link to increase blog traffic and exposure for everyone. I post a link to yours if you post a link to mine.
A while back there was a vault thingie that if you inserted your Revelations CD while visiting the site, it would bring up an interview track-by-track with Chris. They claimed it would be updated regularly with more snippets.
Well I've been visiting it weekly to find the rest of the vids of Chris talking about the album. And I swear it's never changed.
So through some sleuthing, I managed to get all of the short vids of the interview. Yes, the interview where Chris has funny hair.
However when I converted the files to another format so that I could join it all into one big file, it completely messed it up. Therefore I don't have just one video to share today, but rather 13 (one on each track and one of the OF video). I'll probably throw them up on youtube later too (as in tomorrow or later).
Contents of zipped file: What Chris has to say about: Revelations, One and the Same, Sound of a Gun, Until We Fall, Original Fire, Broken City, Somedays, Shape of Things to Come, Jewel of the Summertime, Wide Awake, Nothing Left to Say But Goodbye, Moth, Original Fire - Video
Hey! My name's Mike and I'm from Manchester, England. My favourite song by Audioslave would have to be What You Are, as it's an awesome song and also the lyrics apply/applied to me. That's all I can think of, just dropped by to say hi.
Audioslave will release the third album of its four-year existence early this fall. "Revelations" is due Sept. 5 via Epic, as part of the band's unusual arrangement under which its music is released on a rotating basis by that label as well as Interscope.
First single "Original Fire" will hit U.S. rock radio outlets July 18. The 12-track album was produced by Brendan O'Brien and is the follow-up to 2005's "Out of Exile," which debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 and has sold 1.1 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Audioslave has yet to unveil tour plans in support of "Revelations."
Here is the track list for "Revelations":
"Revelations" "One And The Same" "Sound of a Gun" "Until We Fall" "Original Fire" "Broken City" "Somedays" "Shape of Things To Come" "Jewel of the Summertime" "Wide Awake" "Nothing Left To Say But Goodbye" "Moth"
Okay this had bothered me for some time. And now that I have decent images of it, I can stake my claim. Heh heh.
Anyways, I know Chris was brought up Catholic and is more or less anti-religion now (not anti-spiritual, just not so much for the big organized religion thing). Which makes sense to me.
What doesn't is him wearing a goddess necklace. Never really struck me as the kind to practice the wiccan ways. But then again I've not met him in person, so maybe he does have a wiccan vibe.
I know Chris rarely does anything without some reason behind it. Does anyone know the reasoning being his goddess necklace? And it's not that I want one, because I already have one. I just wonder why he wears it.
Images from 'Preaching to the end of the world' (aka the video where Chris flirts with the camera);
Ever since I watched Live in Cuba, I've wondered what the hell was on Chris's hand. I've posed the question in a few places. And no one really seems to know. I've managed to get a few decent caps of whatever is on his hand, so I thought maybe if I shared those, someone else could maybe tell me what it is. I think part of it says 'Al fresco' but I'm not 100% on that.
Audioslave Reveal Their Soul Side Chris Cornell dips into R&B, family life on "Revelations" For Audioslave's third album, due in June, singer Chris Cornell wanted to explore a vocal style he feels closest to but has never touched on before: R&B. "I love rock music, but my favorite singers are not in rock bands," Cornell confesses. "They're Stevie Wonder, Mavis Staples, the Chamber Brothers." So on Audioslave's latest effort, appropriately dubbed Revelations, Cornell decided to follow the soul sound.
He really pushed his boundaries on the "groove-oriented" song "Broken City." "It reminds me of The World Is a Ghetto[-era] War," Cornell says. "My vocal cadence is different, my approach to the vocal is different. And with this band, we have the ability to go into more of a soul/R&B direction and have it be authentic. It's exciting."
But never mind the Chamber Brothers -- Cornell's new role as a family man has had just as great an influence on his songwriting and his life. "As I'm getting older and I have children and my life is definitely settling down more, I'm really about family," he says while getting ready to play a West Hollywood benefit for the Stuart House, a group that helps sexually abused children and their families. "When I'm not in the studio making records with Audioslave, I'm at home with my wife and my kids," he continues. "So there are a lot of songs where I mention them -- where maybe the subject is about something else, but they're in there. My family is my chief concern."
Though still only just over a year old, Cornell's daughter has already made her opinion of Audioslave's music known. "My baby girl Toni listens to [last year]'s Out of Exile religiously, every day, dances to it in the kitchen. And if you take out that CD and put in something else, she'll whine and say no," Cornell says with a laugh. "We finished the new record just now, and the very first time I put it on she was like, 'This is not the record I know.' Everybody's a critic."
