Hey people....
Rockonomy has returned with an unconventionally band for you...its Audioslave.....The complete mixture of musicians from different backgrounds creating some of the most rocking music....
Audioslave was formed in 2001..the band always had a lot of controversies from the very start.....While talking about the name..Audioslave has an interesting story to tell..They Say that Cornell had a vision and Christ suggested him this name....
Well I don't know about the vision story but Christ did suggest them a good name....
Well the band comprises of Chris Cornell ( from Soundgarden)..Tom Morello..Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk(All from Rage Against Machines)....This amalgam of super artists did create some magic in rock history....
Well from the very start..while the release of their first album..the band was hit by inner controoversies...(some managers problems) which was resolved later and then Audioslave became the first American Rock Band to perform in Open Air Concert in Cuba....
Audioslave then released its second album..Out Of Exile....the album was a major hit..Also Audioslave was nominated for various Grammy awards and their track Like A Stone fetched them one....This Album features some of the greatest tracks ( and my personal favs) like Be Yourself...Doesn't Remind Me...Out Of Exile...etc....
Although their previous album also has some of the most fantastic numbers like I am The Highway...Like A Stone...Shadow on the Sun...Gasoline ...etc....
After Out Of Exile...Audioslave became quite popular band...the same album brought them to various charts like Billboard top 200....Although after it the band released its best album in terms of commerce..Revelations....The Album Was a major hit and success....but it was after this album that Cornell decided to leave the band maybe due to reunion of Rage Against Machine or maybe his personal desire to pursue a solo career...who knows???....And the band broke in 2007.....ending the era of such awesome guitar solos and mesmerising vocals....
Talking about their music style..Its really unique...there is a huge huge huge fan following of Chris Cornell because of his Voice and the guitar solos by Morello are just awesome..He uses the Wah Wah pedals so good....Having some funk Rock tone in their music influenced by 70's heroes Audioslave created some of the greatest music in the world.....which will be in our heart ever...

The album and the article exclusively brought to you by Rockonomy....
p.s:This is not done with Audioslave..Rockonomy will return with yet another article on Audioslave..Till then KEEP ROCKING!!!
