When Zack De La Rocha Left Rage Against The Machine In October 2000, The
Band's Future Dynamic Was Obviously In Question. Within Months, Rumor Had It
That Ex-Soundgarden Frontman Chris Cornell Would Be Replacing De La Rocha.
Gossip Fueled Truth, For Cornell Joined The Rest Of Rage In The Studio In May
2001. The Mix Was Great And A Musical Bond Was In The Making. Cornell, Tim
Commerford, Brad Wilk, And Tom Morello Spent The Next Year Writing And
Recording, And It Appeared That A Band Would Soon Come To Form. By Spring
2002, The Foursome Were No Longer Going By The Rage Against The Machine Name
And Signed On For Ozzfest. But Before The Summer Tour Even Got Underway,
Cornell Quit The New Project. He Claimed It Wasn't Moving Forward In The
Direction He'd Hoped For. The Breakdown Didn't Last, For Cornell Joined The
Rest Of The Band By Early Fall. They'd Tossed Around The Idea Of Being Called
Civilian, But Settled On Audioslave. First Single "Cochise," Which Is Named
For The Great American Indian Chief Who Died Free And Unconquered, Debuted In
September 2002 And Did Moderately Well Among Radio. Audioslave's Epic Debut
Was Released In November.
