"Rage will do four shows and just four in 2007," said Chang Weisberg, the founder of Guerilla Union and organizer of Rock the Bells. "Coachella is first, that's the granddaddy. And now these three with the Wu-Tang Clan represent a very, very special thing."


And of course by that they mean that they will play those four shows, then fly immediately to Australia, where they will play several free concerts and write a new album to be released in the next month.

Goes without saying, really.

For all you Cornell-haters out there (still don't see your reasoning to it as Cornell didn't break RATM up and nor is the new band trying to be RATM), Audioslave have now officially broken up with Cornell leaving the band, citing creative differences as the reason behind his departure. It's no secret, however, that he was writing the majority of the lyrics but the band as a whole was being paid for it.

Yeah, because he was also playing guitar, bass and drums as well.
There's more to a song then lyrics moron

I'm aware of that, but the band as a whole were profiting from the lyrics when Cornell was the only one writing them. Not that I expected a Cornell-hater such as yourself to realise that, moron.

 

[Gavvvvvin]

And Cornell was profiting from the rest of the bands music?

 

[0Jade0]

Can we piss off and not talk about Cornell in a RATM thread. k.

And Cornell was profiting from the music when Commerford, Wilk and Morello were the only one's playing

Which is half the problem. Cornell wasn't happy with the financial arrangements because the band was being paid as a whole as opposed to each member being paid for what he did. He wasn't keen on the others profiting off his lyrics and he wasn't happy with profiting off their music.

 

[bazookajoe]

Tsk tsk, only in it for the money.

 

[sarevok]

I used to like RATM a lot but all their songs sound the same really. Funky bass-line + heavily socialist lyrics + De La Rocha screaming in the chorus + heavy led-zeppelin style riff + crazy morello guitar solo. Rinse and repeat. I don't know what there is to be gained out of a new album really if they were to make one. I'm a bit upset that Audioslave broke up because the last couple of albums showed signs they going to break out of the level of 'mediocre' but they never really did.

 

[all.time.fiend]

the luckiest people in the world are:

those who have a ticket to coachella.

Haha what? Isn't that what EVERY band does?
I mean to do it any other way you would have to put a value on each member.
"Anyone can play drums so you only get $10! sorry but we thought you were profiting of Cornell's way awesome lyrics"

 

[Serius]

oh fuck yes! this should be pretty sweet.

 

[Music4Relief]

I'm pretty damn excited for the Rage/Wu Tang shows!!!!

 

[Horseypie]

I'm glad they aren't reuniting for a new album...Hopefully they don't get all fatheaded and decide to release an album, because it wouldn't be any good.

Of course, I wouldn't mind being proved wrong.

 

[bshoc]

Ah yes, once again, retarded teens from around the world will be able to profess their belief in the evils of capitalism by purchasing the latest RATM concert ticket from Ticketek for only $80 or cd at only $29.95 AU, on either Sony BMG or Epic Records.

*Stupid left wing political rap message that only makes any sense to a coke addict*

*Lame guitar rift*

*Zachs' trademark "someone get me some turbo lax quick" constipated scream*

It would be good if someone would light these reatards on fire and throw them into a gas tank, or something, especially the wannabe leftie white guys.

 

[bshoc]

If it happens I am right there!!!

OH MY GOD

Uh! Got no card so I got not soul
Life is prison, no parole, no control
Tha jura got my number on a wire tap
'Cause I jack for similac, fuck a cadillac
Survive one motive no hope
'Cause every sidewalk I walk is like a tightrope
Yes I know my deadline sire, when my life expires
I'm sendin' paper south under tha barbed wire
Tha mother of my child will lose her mind at my grave
It's my life for their life so call it a free trade
"Por vida" and our name up on tha stall
I took a death trip when I tried ta cross tha white wall
Walk unseen past tha graves an tha gates, born without a face
One motive no hope ah, born without a face
Walk unseen past tha graves an tha gates, born without a face
One motive no hope ah, yeah, born without a face
Without a face

Yeah, I tried ta look back ta my past long lost
A blood donor ta tha land owner holocaust
Pops heart stopped, in came tha air drop
Flooded tha trench he couldn't shake tha toxic shock
Maize was all we needed ta sustain
Now her golden skin burns, insecticide rain
Ya down wit DDT yeah you know me
Raped for tha grapes, profit for tha bourgeois (?)
War tape boomin' path is Luminoso
I'm headed north like my name was kid 'Cisco
To survive one motive no hope, ah
It's hard ta breathe wit Wilson's head around my throat
Strangled and mangled another SS curtain call
When I tried ta cross tha white wall
When I tried ta cross tha white walls
Walk unseen past tha graves an tha gates, born without a face
One motive no hope ah, born without a face
Walk unseen past tha graves an tha gates, born without a face
One motive no hope ah, born without a face

You say fortify, reaction, you divide
And you say fortify, reaction, reaction
And you say fortify, reaction, reaction
You say fortify, reaction, you divide

Man that song always plays in my head whenever I see WAFs username, its disturbing.
