The sequel band is never as good as the original.....see APC. hahaha TOTALLY KIDDING! Don't bash me folks. (all hail tool) haha I love them both and you know it! ;D

According to FMQB, AUDIOSLAVE will release "Your Time Has Come", the second single from their upcoming album, "Out of Exile" (out May 24), through a unique promotion involving radio listeners around the world. Radio stations are being asked to post a link on their web sites to a special timed-out download of the song. One million AUDIOSLAVE fans need to click on the link, which will count down in real time. Once the magic number has been reached, all one million fans will be able to download the track in its entirety. When they initially click through, they will get a 30-second clip of the song. Also, the first 100,000 fans will be entered in a contest to win one of eight Sony PSPs. The song file itself will only play for a certain amount of time before "self-destructing." The link goes live starting Wednesday morning (April 27) at 6 a.m. EST, and the file is PC-compatible only. "Your Time Has Come" goes for adds at radio next Tuesday, May 3.

The group, currently touring in support of their upcoming sophomore release, "Out of Exile," accommodated their touring schedule to be able to give a special performance May 6 at La Tribuna in Havana, Cuba. The concert will be free and open to the Cuban public. In the past, the open air venue has accommodated up to 1 million people.
The performance, the first open air concert by a U.S. rock band in Cuba, was authorized by the U.S. Treasury Department and the Instituto Cubano de la Musica. The effort represents an opportunity to share with the Cuban youth the free expression of music that embodies rock and roll.
"Kids are the same all over the world, and we are extremely proud and excited to bring rock 'n' roll to the youth of Cuba. It's all about the music, and free expression of music crosses all barriers. This is a rare opportunity, and we are grateful and honored to have the support of both countries," said Audioslave.
The band will be in Havana May 4-7, interacting with the Cuban youth and the Cuban musical artists. Interscope/Epic as well as Done and Dusted, a U.K. film production company, are producing the event with the Instituto Cubano de la Musica.

Rock behemoth AUDIOSLAVE is set to deliver their powerful sound to the heart of Los Angeles when the group shuts down Hollywood Boulevard for an outdoor performance to be broadcast exclusively on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on May 18. The band's notoriously explosive live show is expected to attract as many as 10,000 fans eager to hear material from their highly anticipated new album, "Out of Exile", which will be released the following Tuesday, May 24. The performance will take place on a "Jimmy Kimmel Live" custom-built stage in the middle of Hollywood Boulevard. Two songs will be presented during the TV broadcast, which airs from 12:05 to 1:05 am ET/PT on ABC. Fans at the concert will get to hear additional songs. "AUDIOSLAVE is a great band that deserves a great platform and on top of that, it's always fun to close a street down," Kimmel said. The show will also air simultaneously in New York City's Times Square, on the ABC SuperSign. "When I first moved to L.A. I walked the length of Hollywood Boulevard trying to get a retail job there and nobody would hire me," commented the band's guitarist, Tom Morello. "Now they are shutting down the entire street so that AUDIOSLAVE can rock a free show for our fans. We are very excited to rattle the windows of the whole damn city." "Out of Exile" is the follow-up release to AUDIOSLAVE's enormously successful, eponymously-titled debut album, which has sold more than 4 million copies worldwide. The first single from "Out of Exile", "Be Yourself" is currently sitting at #1 on both the rock and alternative radio charts, where it's been since debuting at the top spot three weeks ago. The band is comprised of former SOUNDGARDEN frontman Chris Cornell on vocals and ex-RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE members Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk on guitar, bass and drums respectively. Additionally, AUDIOSLAVE fans will have the opportunity to purchase live recordings of the band's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" performance following the concert. The songs will be available for 99 cents per song exclusively at Sony's www.connect.com music store.

AUDIOSLAVE guitarist Tom Morello (ex-RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE) recently spoke to The News Tribune about "Out of Exile" — the follow-up to the band's self-titled debut, due May 24 — the decision to dust off old RAGE and SOUNDGARDEN tunes; and his work with Axis of Justice, the grass-roots political group he runs with SYSTEM OF A DOWN's Serj Tankian. Q: The thing that's gotten the most buzz regarding this tour so far is that you’re playing RAGE and SOUNDGARDEN material. What went into the decision to dig into the vaults? Tom Morello: "It was very important to us the first time around … to not rely on our past as a crutch. We wanted to establish AUDIOSLAVE as its own independent entity. We think we made a record that both artistically, and certainly commercially, stands alongside our best work. "Having done that, we felt it was time to own our histories. And the SOUNDGARDEN songs and the RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE songs are an important part of the thread of our musical lives. They're songs that are our songs … and songs that we're having an awesome time rocking. And people are losing their minds." Q: Vocally, I can imagine the RAGE songs being a tough transition. Tom Morello: "It actually took Tim [Commerford] and Brad [Wilk] and I a little longer time to master the SOUNDGARDEN songs than it took Chris [Cornell] to master the RAGE songs and make them his own. We chose songs where there's not any overt rapping, and there's a number of those in the RAGE catalog. We really interpreted those songs in our own way, and they're sounding ferocious. Q: Give me an idea of what we can expect [on the new CD]. Will the album have mostly heavy stuff, like on the first record, or more melodic stuff like the first single ("Be Yourself")? Tom Morello: "This record is a very diverse album. There are songs that are harder and faster than anything we’ve played before. And there’s also a real wealth of haunting material and beautiful Cornelian songs in there. It’s a record where we really approached the songwriting process pretty fearlessly. We feared no riff. (laughs)" Q: A lot has happened in the world — from Iraq to a lot of different world events — since the last record in 2002. Given that and your background with RAGE and Axis of Justice, can we expect a lot more political content? Tom Morello: "That’s a question probably better directed toward Chris Cornell since he puts his lyrical antennae very high, and whatever it attracts it attracts. "I know for me and my political organizing work with Axis of Justice, we've never been more busy. And there will be Axis of Justice tabling at the shows for people who want to get involved there … to lend a hand in fighting the power and sticking it to the man. But with regard to the lyrics, one thing that's nice to see is some of those RAGE songs resurfacing just in time." Q: How important is Axis of Justice to you and Serj? Tom Morello: "Very important. My two primary interests are music and political activism. Those are sort of the twin pillars of my life's work. And I wouldn't say one is less or more important than the other." Q: Is there an issue you think people aren’t paying enough attention to? Tom Morello: "One issue that is overlooked is the continued ongoing grass-roots resistance that is going on here in the United States, and around the world, to the policies of the Bush administration. … That's why I think it's very important to remember that progressive change doesn't come from above. You can't sit around and wait for some president or Supreme Court to wave a magic wand and make the world a better place. Change comes from average, everyday people standing up for their rights where they live and where they work and where they go to school." Q: Do any of you keep in touch with (RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE vocalist) Zach (de la Rocha) at all? Tom Morello: "I have not kept in touch with Zach. But I wish him no ill will. We're very proud of our history in RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, and he's a crucially important part of that. Q: You and Tim have both mentioned "Behind the Music" drama and substance abuse problems. Does Zach suffer from personal demons that may be delaying that long-awaited solo album? Tom Morello: "Zach does not suffer from any drug problems. I did not mean to imply that in any way. That is patently untrue. … You know as much as I do why there hasn't been a Zach solo record. I'm looking forward to it when it comes out. I'm sure it'll be great."
