Sad day.

Chris Cornell released a statement on Thursday that announced the imminent release of his second solo album, "Carry On", and at the same time, confirmed that the members of Audioslave were heading their separate ways. The statement read, "Due to irresolvable personality conflicts as well as musical differences, I am permanently leaving the band Audioslave." While Cornell was announcing the break up of Audioslave, he left off with kinds words for his bandmates. "I wish the other three members [Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Bard Wilk] nothing but the best in all of their future endeavors." With that brief statement, the band that generated so much hype about its formation in the early 2000s has disbanded.

You gotta wonder if the band are a nightmare to work with, going through singers like they do lol

wtf?

They were with Zack as RATM for nine years, and with Chris as Audioslave for six... that's hardly 'going through singers'.

But at the same time the instrument section stays the same, yet they change singers.
Wonder if there are maybe certain pulls in some direction?
I didn't really mean it to sound as drastic as it probably did though lol

Zack left Rage because the rest of the band changed managment and decided to release Renagades. He didn't want to release Renagades and as a result, left because the "decision making process" had "broken down".

I thought Zack left Rage because he was more interested in the message in the music than being a huge band. But the band where getting more focused on becoming big. And the final straw being the incident with Commerford at the MTV awards.
 
It'll be interesting to see who gets the rights to the Audioslave songs for playing live.
If Cornell will or Rage will, if there is a rage reunion.
 
Yeap it probably would, but i dare say they will try it.
iirc AudioSlave would do a few rage songs live, dunno if they done any Soundgarden though.

Although i think Zack doing Set it off could be quite good.
