99.9 Percent Chance of Audioslave Breakup

Chris Cornell has dropped the bomb. In a press release sent out to announce the release of Cornell’s new solo album Carry On (out May 1st) the singer also announces he’s leaving Audioslave. “Due to irresolvable personality conflicts as well as musical differences, I am permanently leaving the band Audioslave,” Cornell said. “I wish the other three members nothing but the best in all of their future endeavors.”

Without Chris Cornell, Audioslave is just three guys who used to be in Rage Against the Machine before they were in Audioslave, so this almost certainly means the band is on the brink of an official breakup.

But what if there’s someone out there to save them? Who could step out of the shadows and lead three 90s rockers into the future with a new, fresh version of the supergroup?

We nominate Sammy Hagar, Mark Lanegan, Ed Kowalczyk, James Iha or Peter Gabriel.

Who would you pick?
-- Rolling Stone



Rolling Stone is fucking retarded imo.
Also wtf Peter Gabriel?

It's only a joke.

I would hope so...

I don't think it is though.

James Iha + Tom Morello = rofl

yes. i'm sure james iha, singer of many-a rock anthem, will be the new lead singer of the band audioslave.

you're pretty retarded for taking this seriously.

Peter Gabriel is still so full of himself he wouldn't tour with Genesis. He's a fuck. Even if he does (at this point DID) make great tunes.

It isn't, Rolling Stone submitted the ballot to the deciding committee this morning.

It's all in the committee's hands now. Audioslave petitioned for a representative in the group, but they were denied. Music is a harsh business sometimes.

Rage Against The Machine is reuniting for Coachella.

I'm pretty sure Audioslave is done forever. thank god.

Mark Lanegan could do wonders for Audioslave. He'd be my pick.

Isn't Ed K still with Live?

Ed Kowalychk??????? Live is still together and they would never break up. Get a clue you dumb mother fucker.

btw Im selling an audioslave tour shirt if anyone is interested....

audioslave is horse shit anyway. New soundgarden album here we come!!!

James would be like....."Rally round billy corgan...with a pocket fulla shells."

bleh. I'm not a Soundgarden fan either. Actually, anything with Chris Cornell is pretty much shit.

Agreed. Maybe Cornell will do his own thing now and perhaps, despite his ill will, reunite Soundgarden.

Rage will probably just go on now.

Is that what he would be like? I did not think James would make that kind of Freudian slip, as I doubt he thinks of Billy as family at this point! But perhaps you are a friend of his. I'm just surprised, is all.

Rage fans who stuck with them for Audioslave really show alot of commitment...man do they suck.

Please James don't sing!

I just noticed this thread said "Rolling Stones = Lame"

Rolling Stone is lame.

The Rolling Stones are not.

I think it's just a result of bad timing. Gabriel had already penned a lot of original material. I think once Peter is done touring he will join Genesis for a second leg.

Also, the thought of Peter Gabriel in audioslave sets my teeth on hinge.

this is like reading corgan rules' opinions about something besides the smashing pumpkins.
