Complete List Of Audioslave Songs From A to Z

Audioslave was a rock supergroup that brought together the powerful vocals of Chris Cornell with the instrumental force of three former members of Rage Against the Machine. Formed in Glendale, California, in 2001, the band consisted of Cornell (lead vocals), Tom Morello (guitar), Tim Commerford (bass), and Brad Wilk (drums). After Rage Against the Machine disbanded in 2000 due to Zack de la Rocha’s departure, the remaining members sought a new frontman. A meeting with Cornell, previously of Soundgarden, resulted in an immediate musical connection, and Audioslave was born. Their debut self-titled album in 2002 introduced the band’s fusion of hard rock, alternative metal, and elements of 1970s-style blues rock.

The band’s first album, Audioslave (2002), was a commercial success, debuting at number seven on the Billboard 200 and eventually going triple platinum in the United States. The album featured hit singles such as “Cochise,” “Like a Stone,” and “Show Me How to Live,” showcasing Cornell’s soaring vocals and Morello’s signature guitar effects. “Like a Stone” became one of their most successful songs, reaching number one on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. The album also demonstrated their ability to blend heavy riffs with introspective lyrics, setting the tone for their future releases.

In 2005, Audioslave released their second album, Out of Exile, which marked a turning point in their sound. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, a first for the band. Songs like “Be Yourself” and “Doesn’t Remind Me” became radio staples, demonstrating a more refined, melodic approach compared to their debut. The album’s success proved that Audioslave was more than just a combination of its members’ previous bands—they had developed a unique identity that resonated with both rock and alternative audiences.

The band’s third and final studio album, Revelations, was released in 2006. While it did not reach the same commercial heights as its predecessor, it featured notable tracks such as “Original Fire” and “Revelations.” The album incorporated elements of funk and soul into their signature hard rock sound, displaying the band’s willingness to experiment. However, tensions within the band, coupled with Cornell’s desire to focus on his solo career, led to Audioslave’s breakup in early 2007.

Despite their relatively short career, Audioslave left a lasting impact on the rock genre. They were nominated for three Grammy Awards and sold millions of records worldwide. Their music was praised for blending heavy instrumentation with socially conscious and introspective lyrics, making them one of the most distinct rock bands of the early 2000s. Songs like “Like a Stone” and “Be Yourself” remain anthems for fans, proving the band’s enduring appeal.

Beyond music, Audioslave became the first American rock band to perform in Cuba, playing a historic free concert in Havana in 2005. This groundbreaking event was a landmark moment in rock history, symbolizing the unifying power of music across political boundaries. Additionally, the individual members have been involved in various charitable efforts, with Morello continuing his activism through projects like Prophets of Rage and the Axis of Justice.

Audioslave briefly reunited for a one-off performance in 2017 at the Anti-Inaugural Ball, an event protesting the political climate at the time. Tragically, just months later, Chris Cornell passed away in May 2017, ending any hopes of a full-fledged reunion. Despite their brief time together, Audioslave remains a significant band in rock history, remembered for their unique fusion of styles, powerful performances, and the lasting impact of their music.
