AUDIOSLAVE Has Finally Arrived - Mar. 14, 2005

Canada's Chart Attack is reporting that AUDIOSLAVE are planning a North American tour from April 7 to 30, including a confirmed show at Toronto's Kool Haus April 26, with a second date in Vancouver soon to be announced.

AUDIOSLAVE will release their as-yet-untitled new album May 16. The album's first single, "Be Yourself", has hit radio this week with a video promised for April, but few other details about the disc have emerged.

Last week, guitarist Tom Morello and drummer Brad Wilk spoke to Chart Attack in Los Angeles, explaining the veil of secrecy surrounding the new album.

"I think now is about the right time for fans to be pulled out of the dark and into the light," says Wilk. "We figure the less we talk and the more we let the music talk, the better."

"The last time, our music was released on the internet eight months beforehand. So this time, mum’s the word," agrees Morello.

Six songs from the upcoming release were played for international media in L.A.. In addition to "Be Yourself", the disc is scheduled to include the tracks "Your Time Has Come", "The Curse", "#1 Zero", "Doesn’t Remind Me" and "Out Of Exile".

"AUDIOSLAVE the band has arrived," says Wilk. "The first record was people from two other bands with history attached. I don't feel that with this record."

"The main difference between this record and any other record that we've done is that it felt that the songs were completely generated on the spot," continues Morello. "At least as far as my contributions go. Normally, I make a long list of riffs, I do a lot of self-censoring beforehand. This time, I could just step into rehearsal and I just see what happened. It felt more instantaneous. I think that helped lead to the diversity of the material, and the confidence that no matter what it was we played that we would like the results."

Ho sentito la canzone e fa abbastanza schifo...

Edited by Kazufai - 20/3/2005, 19:48

aspetterò che qualcuno in quel gruppo torni un bravo figliolo, prima di comprare un loro album.

bah direi invece che la canzone non faccia schifo per niente. è una classica ballata rock come ne sono sempre state scritte. stop.
non sa di niente, ma dire che fa schifo mi sembra un po' eccessivo. poi de gustibus...

AUDIOSLAVE Frontman Explains Lyrical Inspiration For 'Be Yourself' - Apr. 8, 2005

Launch Radio Networks reports: AUDIOSLAVE finds itself at the top of the radio charts with "Be Yourself", the first single from the quartet's upcoming second album. Frontman Chris Cornell told Launch that events in his own life helped to inspire the song's lyrics. "The 'be yourself' part really just came from a lot of things that I've gone through in my life and a lot of different changes and all the different tragedies and all the horrendously stupid mistakes I've made in my personal life, and wanting to be able to make up for those things and wanting to be able to not be ashamed, all that stuff," he explained. "You know, that's the one thing about getting older that's better, and this song kinda says it so simply, to a degree that 10 years ago I would've been embarrassed to put it in a song 'cause it is so simple. But there it is."

AUDIOSLAVE recently filmed a video for "Be Yourself" an old hotel in downtown Los Angeles. The group's second album, "Out of Exile", is due out May 24. It's the follow-up to the band's self-titled, double-platinum 2002 debut.

AUDIOSLAVE — who feature in their ranks former SOUNDGARDEN singer Cornell and three members from RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE — begin touring on April 14 in Las Vegas.
