I find it impossible to have 2 such awesome bands unite and make a band so mediocre. The instrumentals are dumbed down so much from what Rage used to be, it almost makes me sick. I guess they're depending on Cornell to carry them through, which would have worked if they were Soundgarden, but their styles don't mesh with me at all.

J.P.J. of Led Zep or Paul McCartney

I dont know, while Audioslave is nothing as to what RATM was I think the guitaring at least has improved, but yea other then that it isnt all that great though I never listened to any Soundgarden to begin with.

They may be a bit more mellow than rage but they definitely aren't any less talented. Have you heard the "Doesn't Remind Me" solo? It kicks more a** than Chuck Norris.
