re: Artists that go solo or start another band that is better than the original.

You say that like there are three people who hold this opinion.

Audioslave is a rock act. RATM is a rap/rock/political activist outfit. The only difference is Cornell over de la Rocha.

Now, from where I sit, Chris Cornell is a hall of fame (or should be) vocalist and lyricist. He led a great band (Soundgarden. Maybe you've heard of them), then formed a "supergroup" with the backline from RATM. They made some damned catchy rock songs.

I accept there are many old school RATM fans that do not like Audioslave at all. That's valid. I like RATM as well as Audioslave. I prefer songs off the first Audioslave album, particularly.
