Audioslave was an American rock supergroup formed in Glendale, California,
in 2001. The four-piece band consisted of Soundgarden's
lead singer and rhythm guitarist Chris Cornell with Rage Against
the Machine members Tom Morello(lead
guitar), Tim Commerford (bass/backing vocals), and Brad Wilk(drums).
Critics first described Audioslave as a combination of Soundgarden and Rage
Against the Machine, but by the band's second album, Out of Exile, it was
noted that they had established a separate identity. Their unique sound was
created by blending 1970s hard rock and
1990s alternative rock, with
musical influences that included 1960s funk, soul and R&B. As with
Rage Against the Machine, the band prided themselves on the fact that all
sounds on their albums were produced using only guitars, bass, drums, and
vocals, with emphasis on Cornell's wide vocal range and Morello's unconventional guitar solos.
In their six years together, Audioslave
released three albums, received three Grammy nominations, sold more than eight million records worldwide and
became the first American rock band to perform an open-air concert in Cuba. They disbanded in February 2007
after Cornell issued a statement announcing that he was leaving the band. Later
that year, Cornell and Morello released solo albums, and Morello, Commerford,
and Wilk reunited with Zack de la Rocha for the Rage Against the Machine Reunion Tour.
Audioslave reunited to perform at Prophets of Rage's
Anti-Inaugural Ball, which took place on January 20, 2017. Cornell's death later that year
precluded any chance of further reunions.
Out of Exile is the second studio album by
American rock supergroup Audioslave. It was
released on May 23, 2005 internationally and a day later in the United States, by Epic Records and Interscope Records.
It is the band's only album to chart at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. Four
singles were released from the album, which were "Be Yourself", "Your Time Has Come", "Doesn't Remind Me", and "Out of
Exile". "Doesn't Remind Me" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 48th Grammy Awards in 2006.
Someone falls to
pieces
Sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
She finally drift away
Someone gets excited
In a chapel yard
Catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave
And be yourself is
all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
Someone finds
salvation in everyone
Another only pain
Someone tries to hide themselves
Down inside himself he prays
Someone swears their true love
Until the end of time
Another runs away
separate or united?
Healthy or insane?
And be yourself is
all that you can do (all that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
Be yourself is all that you can do
Even when you've paid
enough
Been pulled apart
Or been held up
Every single memory of
The good or bad, faces of love
Don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright
You may win or lose
But to be yourself is
all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can do.
