on a le titre du morceau phare du nouveau James Bond "You know my
Name" co écrit par Cornell et un certain Daniel Arnold, qui a composé
le reste de la Bo
Enfin dans cet Article sur Mtv.com , Cornell dément formellement tout split du
gang même si il avoue que le gang n'a pas de plan immédiat de tournée
malgré la sortie de Revelations en Septembre..
En revanche oh yessssss yessss, Chris souhaite faire un mini tournée solo et 'il s'active pour mettre celà en place ! Donc vraisemblablement on verra Chris tourner en solo dans les mois à venir et ce bien avant Audioslave et c'est ZE NOUVELLE DU JOUR !!! Bordello j'ai hâte
)))
S'agissant de son disque solo, douze morceaux ont été écrits, la dominante est largement acoustique, il y aura un soupçon du triptyque gratte, basse, batterie et quelques sons plus inattendus, l'enregistrement du disque aura lieu à la fin de cet été- Il a écrit les morceaux l'an dernier et le reste il y a deux mois; ces morceaux sont sans rapport aucun avec ce que fait Audioslave c'est pour ça qu'il a ressenti le besoin de les coucher sur un disque solo (yeah!!)...
Par ailleurs, il précise qu'il y aura d'autres disques d'Audioslave dans le futur (sans qu'aucune date ne soit précisée), cette expérience avec les 3 ex Rage lui ayant redonné le goût de l'écriture et a modifié un brin sa façon d'écrire, il s'est plus lâché et a moins "intellectualisé " le processus hum....
D'ailleurs la plupart des morceaux de Revelations ont été écrits en même temps que ceux d' " Out Of Exile " et en tournée, dès lors qu'il y avait la matière pour faire un opus, ils ont dit banco d'où ce délai très court entre ces deux albums.
Le reste en Vo, enjoy !!
Ps: rien à propos d'une éventuelle formation des Rage moyennant fric, il faudra lorgner du côté de Morello , Wilk & Co dans les semaines à venir

Chris Cornell
Working On Solo LP — But Dismisses Rumors Of Audioslave Split 07.26.2006 3:11 PM EDT Frontman also busy crafting theme song for James Bond flick
'Casino Royale.' Chris Cornell doesn't know how these rumors get started.
On Tuesday, a trade magazine reported that Audioslave's forthcoming,
Brendan O'Brien-produced album Revelations would be the singer's last
with the band, as he has been working
on material for his first solo album in more than seven years. The
report, which helped to further fuel rumors that began circulating
online three weeks ago, suggested Cornell would like to focus all his
attention on the yet-untitled follow-up to 1999's Euphoria Morning.
Oh, and according to the same report, the rest of Audioslave — bassist
Tim Commerford, drummer Brad Wilk and guitarist Tom Morello — turned
down a seven-figure offer from some concert promoter to reunite Rage
Against the Machine with former frontman Zack de la Rocha.
Now, while Cornell has written about a dozen tunes for a solo LP he
intends to record before summer's end, he said Tuesday that everything
in Audioslave's universe is just peachy. And later that same afternoon,
in an e-mail, Morello confirmed that, "a while back," the members of
the now-defunct Rage did turn down just such an offer, which was to
reunite for a single concert. Morello, too, said the breakup rumors are
rubbish.
"We hear rumors that Audioslave is breaking up all the time," Cornell
explained. "Even in the beginning, when we were having business
problems, and we weren't necessarily going to be a band, we were still
going to put out a record. We made a record and we loved it. I think
that's where it starts — the idea that we sort of started on shaky
ground. You would hope that by now, putting out our third record,
people wouldn't be thinking that way or be worried about it. But it
comes up. I always just ignore it."
What Cornell didn't ignore was an offer from the producers of the
forthcoming James Bond film "Casino Royale" to pen the movie's theme
song. But he admits that, at first, he wasn't so sure it was a gig he
wanted.
"I wasn't really sure about doing a Bond theme, because I wasn't really
a big fan of the last several movies," he said. "And then I heard that
there was going to be a new guy — Daniel Craig — who was going to play
Bond [see "British Actor Daniel Craig Steps Into James Bond's Tux"].
And he's so different. I have seen him in several movies, and I was
kind of intrigued. So I went to Prague, where they were shooting the
movie, and they showed me a rough edit of it. I was just completely
blown away by it, because it's unlike any Bond film ever, really.
[Craig] is an actor's actor, and there's emotional content to [the
movie]. He's not like the swaggering, winking sort of super-agent guy.
He's like a human being in this movie, and it's going to completely
readjust the way people think of the character."
Cornell co-wrote the theme track, "You Know My Name," with David
Arnold, who's scoring the music for "Casino Royale," his fourth Bond
film.
Since March, when Audioslave wrapped the recording and mixing sessions
for Revelations (a process that took all of five weeks), Cornell's had
a lot of spare time on his hands (see "New Audioslave LP: 'Led Zeppelin
Meets Earth, Wind & Fire' ").
"And I spent that time writing," he said. "There are a couple of songs
that I'd written over the last year and a half. And the rest of [the
solo LP] has been in the last couple of months. I do it more or less
for fun — it's kind of like my hobby. I have a lot of songs now that, I
mean, some of them probably could be Audioslave songs, but as a whole,
with that many songs that are completely different than anything we've
been doing as Audioslave, I just decided it was time to do another
record."
Cornell said the LP will be more or less an acoustic effort and "not so
much straight-up guitar, bass, drums and vocals — just kind of
layerings of acoustic guitar and sounds." He said Audioslave have no
immediate plans to hit the road, despite the fact that Revelations is
slated for release September 5. But he does "want to go play solo
shows," promising that "it will happen — I will fit it in."
The singer's solo material has benefited tremendously from his work
with Audioslave, he said. "It's helped me approach songwriting with
more of a fearlessness, and less, like, constant thought and
intellectual input into what it means," Cornell said. "We don't
question an idea until it's a completely finished song and we've
recorded it. We almost treat our songs like human beings, and each one
has as much of a right to exist as the next one. What that's done for
me and the band is keep the creative process very open and not daunting
and intimidating. There's been more of a freedom and playfulness in
writing the songs, and rarely have we scrapped a song because, at the
end of the day, we don't like it."
Audioslave plan on recording and releasing as much new material as
possible in the future, because, as Cornell says O'Brien once told him,
"[we] can — not to make a lot of money, but because not every band can
show up once a year with an album, or material for it." "The reason why
the third album has come out so fast is because, with the writing for
the second record [last year's Out of Exile], we had to cut it down to
a reasonable amount of songs and we were cutting out songs we loved
just as much as anything that made the record. We went out on tour, and
it was obvious right away that it would be nice to cut out the cycle of
a year and a half of touring, a year of writing and recording, and have
it be so spaced out so sometimes it's a year since you've written a
song or been in the studio. We didn't need to go back and write enough
songs for an entire new record, because we had so many — we still ended
up writing another 10 songs. We ended up re-recording some of the ones
we'd written for Out of Exile, too."
Cornell was moved to write one song on the new album, "Wide Awake,"
after watching the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina, he said.
"We were on tour at the time that the aftermath footage started to be
shown on CNN, which tends to be a 45-minute loop of the most horrible
things that they can show you, and then you see it all day long, over
and over," he said. "I had written the melody to that song and we
recorded it, with no lyrics really. I just started seeing those images,
and knew I wanted to write something. The subject was not obviously to
teach anybody about anything, or change anyone's mind. I don't think
it's a controversial song, and I don't think anyone's going to disagree
with the content of the song at all. It will stand as a reminder, when
people listen to this record — next year, five years from now, 10 years
from now — that that happened, and be reminded of the victims, both
dead and living. When they hear the song, they should be reminded that
the disaster's still there, that it's not repaired already. The fear
that I have is that it will get forgotten, and as soon as it does, it
has the potential to happen again, and obviously has the potential to
happen again there."
The lyrics to several of the songs on Revelations, including "The Shape
of Things to Come" and "Sound of a Gun," were inspired by Cornell's
inherent desire to shield his offspring from the world's dangers.
"[These songs] reflect me being a father and a family man now at this
point in my life and having a rekindled anxiety, but with new facets to
it," he said. "Rather than just worry about my own future and my own
mortality, the future and mortality of my children, and the feelings
I've had lately with the state of the world remind me of the Cold War
feelings I had as a teenager. Like so many young Americans, I felt a
lot of helplessness, and to a degree, a sense that the world could end
at any time. I think a lot of the angst in punk music came from that
tension that just wouldn't go away.
"I feel those feelings now again," he continued. "Having a wife and
children that I see every day, and wanting these children to have a
shot at a happy life and a future. ... I just have a sense of
helplessness, and that anxiousness shows up in a number of songs.
They're about sort of, 'What's the state of the world and why.' And I
don't like it."
