bullshite. Go back and listen to the Civilian demos. They sounded fresh. It sounded like a nice mixture of the styles. I was beyond excited. Then the actual album dropped and all of the uniqueness of the sound was stripped down and they became another generic post-grunge/alternative band. The slick bass lines were gone. The inventive guitar techniques were minimized. It became a major label production.

Also, do you really think they became apolitical sans Zach? That's pretty silly. Tom was probably the bigger driving force there than Zach ever was.

Didn't make it into the first album vibe, though. Morello may be "as" political as Zach, but it would hard for me to buy "more" political than Zach.

While I haven't heard the demos you described, I did notice they reined in the rhythm section of Audioslave quite a bit. The positives were the vocals and guitar were more focused, but the reason I listen to RATM is the rhythm section.

So - your point there is very likely valid. I still like the overall sound of Audioslave (again, primarily the first album), but a more unleashed Commerford (the strongest player in both bands)/Wilk would have been an improvement.
