[QUOTE=frmautumTOashes]plus he had some good beats, and his style gave it a more rap/funk feel.[/QUOTE]
He definatly made EE what it is. I really love the hip-hop style of that album.
[QUOTE=ECream]Sorry coming off the way it did. I know NOTHING about drums/drumming, so that is why I am ignorant to the topic. Sorry.[/QUOTE]
I'm a guitarist but I know about a good drum sound. I guess thats why I want to be a producer. Maybe. :D

Yeah EE was good for drums. His best is on the new Audioslave though.

Brad Wilk is very underrated in my opinion.

[QUOTE=Bass_ment]Brad Wilk is very underrated in my opinion.[/QUOTE]

+1 man. He's one of my favorite drummers.

My favorite album is hard to pick. I like them all, but Renegades is not awesome, but it's still good.

Timmy C, bring that bass in.


How many people have the CD [I]Live & Rare[/I]? I've got it and it's awesome.

Two years ago I would have killed for [i]Live & Rare[/i]. I don't know whether I would spend that much on it now. If the price was right, then I would certainly buy it.

^^^
I agree. I think I would like to complete the RATM catalouge, including the singles one day, because they're my favorite band but I've got all the big ones so I'm fine with that.

Doesn't live and rare have a bonus disc with Darkness on it? If so than I have almost bought it just for that track which is one of my favorite RATM tracks ever.

Yes, Darkness is part of Live & Rare. I love the solo on that song.

Live & Rare rules, 'specially Clear The Lane.

So, what happened with the cover songs?

Didn't have a singer or bass player, my microphone broke, etc.

Does anyone like Audioslave?

Tom's guitar sounds like everyone else's guitar, and the vocals don't sound right w/o ZDLR.

I really hate Audioslave.

I love em. :D


Stop comparing them to Rage, and Morellos guitar sounds far different from everyone elses.

Audioslave isn't as good, but they arn't garbage like most other mainstream music. Tom still uses some different techniques then most other rock bands, and sounds alot better.

Audioslave should not be discussed in this thread no matter what people's opinions are on them.

Yeah I have Live and Rare and its way fantastic!

Excellent, I'm listening to a lot of it. Especially "Darkness". My girlfriend of eight months just broke up with me last night.
The guitar solo and the intro are really soothing.
If Audioslave has its own discussion thread, they should be discussed there.

Considering Audioslave is 3/5 Rage (ZDLR counts as 2), I think they are sort of relevant.

And if I'm doing a compare and contrast, this thing would just go in circles with audioslave people telling me to come here.

ZDLR wasn't 2, Tom Morello did the same amount of work as him if not more. Zack and Tom were the band, and as good as Tim and Brad are, neither were really all that into the politics. If anything Tom and Zack together are 2/3 of the band and Tim and Brad are the other 1/3.

No thats bull****. Your both wrong. I think they are all 1/4 of the band, they all played important roles in the band.

Zack wrote the political lyrics. Tom had the political insight and backing. Tim gave some fame to the band with his antics, even if they were unwelcome, and his basslines. Brad's drumming could be complex and worked perfectly with Zack's lyrics.
No band that lasts over 5 years is reliant on just 2 of the members, it's all 4. Just like any relationship, it takes both of you to make it work.
God, I'm going to hate that analogy. My girlfriend just dumped me last night and I'm begging for a second chance.
I'll learn from this...
In any case, it takes all of a band to make it for as long as they did. They all deserve credit.

Exactly. Have you taken your problem the relationships thread??? :confused:

Audioslave suck and are an utter disgrace to the memory of Rage.

[QUOTE=Zakath]Audioslave suck and are an utter disgrace to the memory of Rage.[/QUOTE]
Wrong. Audioslave is nothing like rage, and its pissing me off more and more whenever their compared. :evil: :angry:

I'm not comparing their music, I'm just saying that Audioslave sucks while Rage was a great band. Kind of like how I'd say Good Charlotte sucks and Nile is a great band. Except Audioslave and Rage are related through 3 of their members. Retard.

Because Audioslave have 3 of the same members meens their music should be compared EVEN THOUGH their trying to get a completly different sound? Wow, your a pretty blind moron. Though Nile does kick a[I]s[/I]s, I'll give you that.

Are you completely stupid? I understand they have a completely different sound. Guess what? IT SUCKS. Rage was great and I wish they were still together making THE TYPE OF MUSIC THAT THEY MADE WHEN THEY WERE RATM YOU FU[font=]CKING MORON.[/font]

Your opinion is your own, but your still acting like a moron. Just shut up and leave.

[QUOTE=Darkness Of Greed]Your opinion is your own, but your still acting like a moron. Just shut up and leave.[/QUOTE]
Obviously my opinion of Audioslave is my own, but the fact is that there's a connection between the bands even though the music is entirely different. And I think you're the one who should be leaving with your idiotic 2/3 and 1/3 band member theory.

I didn't make that up, some guy said that Zack was 2/5s the band, and I said if anything him and Tom are 2/3s.

I know, ECream is stupid as well. Don't worry, you're not alone. :cool:
