Untitled Document http://www.elsegundousd.com/eshs/be04-05/juneaudios.htm From the ashes of two great bands, Audioslave was born. With singer Chris Cornell, guitarist Tom Morello, drummer Brad Wilk, and bassist Tim Commerford, they have created a monster of a band. Following up their very successful 2002 self-titled debut, Audioslave is delivering another awesome rock album. Audioslave formed in our home Los Angeles, California in 2001. When political band, Rage Against the Machine used their music to protest the actions of the government broke up in late 2000 when lead singer Zech De La Rocha announced he was leaving the band. Morello, Wilk, and Commerford need a singer and rumors started to float around that ex-Soundgarden lead singer Chris Cornell would take that place. In 2001 they did form a band together. Many people thought it would sound like Rage Against the Machine, and some thought it would sound like another Soundgarden, but they were wrong. Although Morello kept his flare for the weirdest and cool sounding guitar solos, and Cornell kept his melodic quiet to a loud singing voice the band has its own unique sound. This new album Out of Exile still holds onto the sound Audioslave made, but there have been many changes, many good changes. In this album Morello, Wilk, and Commerford have really started playing up to their potential. Morello as more defined guitar riffs and licks, and his solos have only gotten better. Drummer Wilk has sped up on his drumming and has added a lot of new beats and fills. The bassist Commerford has finally started playing like he used to. In the first album his playing sound simply but in this album he has added a lot of great bass licks. Of course Cornell is the same as we remember him, but on this album his songs contain much more of a personality. Making each very unique. Also, all the lyrics to every song where written by Cornell. The album its self is a great rock album. Out of Exile adds the good rock sound that is needed in today's mainstream music. It has the elements that make a great rock album. It has its high speed songs that you can go crazy to, such as "Your Time Has Come", "Out of Exile", and the slower starting song, but picks up fast "Drown Me Slowly". This album also has its slower emotional songs such as "Be Yourself", "Heaven's Dead" and "Yesterday to Tomorrow". This album is definitely a great one, from fast hard hitting songs to slower, more melodic songs. This album is a definite must for all rock fans. 1 of 1 6/27/2008 5:16 PM.

RAGE AGAINST the MACHINE Rage Against the Machine (Metal)
RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE Rage against the machine (Metal) Année de sortie : 1992 Nombre de pistes : 10 Durée : 53' Support : CD Provenance : Acheté Nous avons décidé de vous faire découvrir (ou re découvrir) les albums qui ont marqué une époque et qui nous paraissent importants pour comprendre l'évolution de notre style préféré. Nous traiterons de l'album en le réintégrant dans son contexte originel (anecdotes, etc.)... Une chronique qui se veut 100% "passionnée" et "nostalgique" et qui nous l'espérons, vous fera réagir par le biais des commentaires ! ...... Bon voyage ! Musiciens dotés d’une forte personnalité, le chanteur Zack DE LA ROCHA et le guitariste Tom MORELLO s’illustrent déjà à la fin des années 1980 dans diverses formations. Le premier appartient à la scène hardcore de Californie, où il débute la guitare puis fonde en 1988 INSIDE OUT. Ce groupe, dans lequel il tient le micro, exercera une influence certaine sur ce courant musical. Quant à MORELLO, il a formé dans l’Illinois ELECTRIC SHEEP, en compagnie d’Adam JONES, futur guitariste de TOOL. Persuadé de pouvoir y mener des projets plus sérieux, il se rend à Los Angeles, où il assiste à une prestation de Zack DE LA ROCHA. Le guitariste est séduit par le discours du chanteur, avec qui il fonde rapidement une nouvelle formation, complétée par le batteur Brad WILK et le bassiste Tim COMMERFORD, ami d’enfance du chanteur. Les musiciens optent pour le nom de RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE. A l’origine, il s’agissait du titre d’un des morceaux d’INSIDE OUT, et également celui prévu pour leur deuxième album, finalement jamais paru.

Shines Atop Mainstream Rock Songs Chart
Royal Blood's 'Lights Out' Shines Atop Mainstream Rock Songs Chart 8/17/2017 by Kevin Rutherford http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/7933942/royal-bloods-tops-mainstream-rock-songs-chart The British duo notches its second No. 1 on the airplay ranking. Royal Blood notches its second No. 1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Songs airplay chart, as "Lights Out" ascends 2-1 on the ranking dated Aug. 26. The UK-based duo led with its prior entry (and third overall), "Little Monster," back on July 25, 2015. Each of Royal Blood's four titles to chart on Mainstream Rock Songs have reached at least No. 3 ("Out of the Black" and "Figure It Out" hit Nos. 2 and 3, respectively, in 2014), placing the band in rarefied air. Only five other acts in the chart's existence, which dates to 1981, has arrived with that kind of success. Here are the acts to reach the Mainstream Rock Songs top three with their first four or more chart entries: First 7, Creed ("My Own Prison"-"With Arms Wide Open"; 1997-2000) 5, The Pretty Reckless ("Heaven Knows"-"Oh My God"; 2014-17) 5, Puddle of Mudd ("Control"-"Away From Me"; 2001-03) 4, Royal Blood ("Out of the Black"-"Lights Out"; 2014-17) 4, Audioslave ("Cochise"-"I Am the Highway"; 2002-04) 4, Days of the New ("Touch, Peel and Stand"- "Enemy"; 1997-99) Of those streaks, two, Royal Blood's included, are still intact; The Pretty Reckless' latest single, "Back to the River," is challenging to become the band's sixth top three hit from the start, bulleting at No.

Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl, and Kurt Cobain
f Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl, and Kurt Cobain (from top) N irvana By David Fricke The Seattle band led and defined the early-nineties alternative-rock uprising, unleashing a generation s pent-up energy and changing the sound and future of rock. THIS IS WHAT NIRVANA SINGER-GUITARIST KURT Cobain thought of institutional honors in rock & roll: When his band was photographed for the cover of Rolling Stone for the first time, in early 1992, he arrived wearing a white T-shirt on which he’d written, c o r p o r a t e m a g a z i n e s s t i l l s u c k in black marker. The slogan was his twist on one coined by the punk-rock label SST: “Corporate Rock Still Sucks.” The hastily arranged photo session, held by the side of a road during a manic tour of Australia, was later recalled by photogra pher Mark Seliger: “I said to Kurt, T think that’s a great shirt... but let’s shoot a couple with and without it.’ Kurt said, ‘No, I’m not going to take my shirt off.’” Rolling Stone ran his Fuck You un-retouched. ^ Cobain was also mocking his own success. At that moment, Nirvana - Cobain, bassist Krist Novoselic, and drummer Dave Grohl - was rock’s biggest new rock band, propelled out of a long-simmering postpunk scene in Seattle by its incendiary second album, N everm ind, and an improbable Top Ten single, “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Right after New Year’s Day 1992, Nevermind - Nirvana’s first major-label release and a perfect monster of feral-punk challenge and classic-rock magne tism, issued to underground ecstacy just months before - had shoved Michael Jackson’s D angerous out of the Number One spot in B illboard.

Rhymes and Linkin Park recently collaborated on “We Made It,” the first single and video from Rhymes’ upcoming album, Blessed. By touring together, Linkin Park & Busta are taking a cue from the chorus of their song: “…we took it on the road…”. As recently pointed out in Rolling Stone’s “Summer Tour Guide,” the tour will see nine acts joining rock superstars Linkin Park, who are also offering concertgoers a digital souvenir pack that includes a recording of the band’s entire set. As the band’s co-lead vocalist Mike Shinoda told the magazine, “That puts extra pressure on us to make sure our set is different every night.” The fifth installation of Linkin Park’s raging road show will see them headlining an all-star bill that features former Soundgarden/Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell, electro-rockers The Bravery and Ashes Divide featuring Billy Howerdel, known for his work with A Perfect Circle.

Case 1:19-cv-25045-JEM Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 12/09/2019 Page 1 of 24 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA MIAMI DIVISION CASE NO. 1:19cv25045 Vicky Cornell, individually, and in her JURY TRIAL DEMANDED capacity, and as the Personal Representative of the Estate of Christopher John Cornell a/k/a Chris Cornell, Plaintiffs, v. Soundgarden, a purported Washington General Partnership, Kim A. Thayil, Matt D. Cameron, Hunter Benedict Shepherd, Rit Venerus and Cal Financial Group, Inc., Defendants. ______________________________________________/ COMPLAINT Plaintiff, Vicky Cornell, individually and in her capacity as the personal representative of the Estate of Christopher John Cornell (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) through counsel, hereby files the following complaint against the defendants, Soundgarden, Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron, Hunter Benedict Shepherd, Rit Venerus and Cal Financial Group, Inc. (collectively, “Defendants”). I. INTRODUCTION “Everybody out for my blood, everybody want my percent … They just want to take what is mine, how much more can they get.” - Sweet Revenge 1. In 2009, Chris Cornell penned these lyrics about his former Soundgarden bandmates after they unlawfully (and unsuccessfully) attempted to deprive him of his rights in connection with the valuable musical works that he created for the band. Ten years later, and after Chris’ untimely passing, these lyrics hauntingly resonate as his former bandmates, once Case 1:19-cv-25045-JEM Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 12/09/2019 Page 2 of 24 again, have attempted to “take what is his” – or, more aptly, to steal from his widow and minor children. This wrongful conduct shockingly started shortly after Chris’ untimely death and ultimately forced his widow, Vicky Cornell, to bring this lawsuit.
