Saw them once and they played RATM songs, and then Cornell played Black Hole Sun on his own. Always thought that was really interesting why he was involved in the RATM covers but the others werenât on the Soundgarden. Weird power dynamics? The others didnât want to? Cornell didnât want them to? Iâll never know.
Remember when they put a big island in the shape of the Audioslave logo on Google Earth as part of the marketing campaign for their third album?
Genuinely a thing that happened.

Not good enough musicians to pull it off?
they do Spoonman and Outshined (full band) here 
Pitchfork gave the debut 1.7 and called it âretardedâ

Show Me How To Live was just about the only song my sixth form âbandâ could reasonably play from start to finish, so they will always have place in my heart.
I remember the debut album having extra excitement because it was a rumoured project for ages, and then the demos leaked, which were basically the majority of what ended up being the debut album. They then split up, so it felt like this forbidden supergroup that never was with just these pretty good demos to back it up. Then they reformed and actually released the album, and that was a real buzz around that time. Soundgarden and Rage Against The Machine! Two amazing bands coming together. It lost its appeal quickly enough and letâs pretend there were no more follow-on albums, but I have a soft spot for that debut album as a result.

Of the two âbigâ mid-noughties alt-rock supergroups which featured the singer of one band joining the guitarist/bassist/drummer of another, which was better:
- Audioslave
- Velvet Revolver

Only reason for Velvet Revolver to exist is to be an absolutely nailed on pointless answer in a âBands who played at Live 8â jackpot round.
aside from the track âThere Was A Timeâ you are bang on!
like that bit in collateral where theyâre listening to audioslave and watching a coyote run about or whatever
scene probably wouldnât have worked as well with slither by velvet revolver
