I know and like all of their radio stuff (Sleep Now In The Fire. Doesn't get any better than that.) and the sound Morello makes with his guitar are unreal. I don't care what band he's playing for I'd pay to watch him jam.

When Audioslave was started I was ecstatic to hear Cornell and basically Rage mesh together. Their first album is probably one of my favorite albums of all time and easily the best Audioslave album. The other 2 really took a nosedive imo and sounded less like the guys from Rage.

Well I guess we're even then as far as GnR because I''m a fan on The Offspring.

Oh no!  Offspring too?!?!?!?! Have you no shame man?

Yeah man, the first Rage album is an instant classic, IMO.  Evil Empire is good as well.  The Battle of Los Angeles is good....but as the albums progress, there are more and more duds.  That's not to say they suck, because they have their high points and good songs as well, but duplicating the flow of the first would be hard for any band to muster.

Wow, that's scary man!  Would love to have seen either one of them, Rage especially.
