I've no idea what you're talking about

I was referring to the fact that you're making a big deal out of something so small and silly, and that you're holding yourself above people by saying that you yourself have never emulated somebody else's sense of humor.

[ZeUs!!]

This is the classic and stereotypical response, but in this instance its the most accurate:

When did I say that? I make a contentious effort not to but a bit of Ilya sneaks into me every now and then (high five troll king)

Edit: What am I talking about? I haven't emulated anyone's sense of humour

Uh he's not really making a big deal out of it, he's actually point on about how some people just copy others to get cool points. They fail, but the point is that they tried like a bunch of jack-offs, which is why this topic exists. He's not really holding himself too high, we all know he's the lovable alcoholic mod that graces us with his presence. If he emulated anyone it has to be Ted Danson's fashion sense. I don't know where that came from, but somehow it helps support this post.

Also, what's the deal with material girl posting skinny chicks in ugly dresses? Didn't she do that in another topic?

Audioslave is comprised of lead singer Chris Cornell, guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Tim Commerford, and drummer Brad Wilk. The band's history dates back to October of 2000, after Rage Against the Machine broke up when singer Zack de la Rocha left the band. The other three members of the seminal hard rock band stayed together, planning to continue as a trio under the Rage name. Several vocalists jammed with the band at this time, including B-Real of Cypress Hill. Music producer Rick Rubin later suggested that they jam with Chris Cornell, formely of Soundgarden, and "see what happens." The chemistry would click between the singer and the three musicians, and they began work in the studio in May 2001, writing 21 songs in 19 days.

Allegations that they argued during production are not entirely unfounded; the group broke up in April 2002, before they had even released an album. The most notorious and well-known aspect of their temporary dissolution came that summer after the band cancelled their appearance in the popular, annual rock festival Ozzfest. Subsequent interviews with the band revealed that early problems had been partly due to external pressures which were resolved when the band members sacked their previous management companies and hired Los Angeles company The Firm. Once that was completed, the Audioslave moniker was chosen by the band, and in September 2002, Audioslave's first single, "Cochise", was released, named for the famous American Indian chief, the last to die free and unconquered. Later in the fall, they would go on to release their debut, self-titled album on November 19, 2002.

The group's first studio album, Audioslave, drew mixed reactions from critics but swiftly attained double platinum-selling status. Some lambasted the group as millionaire musicians who constantly argued during album production, and whose 1970s rock sound is primarily the result of post-studio modification. Others compared them to Led Zeppelin, saying they add much-needed sound and style to contemporary mainstream music. They toured extensively worldwide in 2003, silencing many critics and gaining largely positive reviews for their spectacular live performances, including overshadowing the headlining "reunited" Jane's Addiction at that year's version of Lollapalooza.

On May 6, 2005, Audioslave became the first American rock group to perform a concert in Cuba, playing for free in front of an audience of 60,000. The concert was organized with the joint authorization of the United States Treasury Department and the Instituto Cubano de la Musica. This concert was recorded, and released on DVD on October 11, 2005. It came in two versions, a basic package consisting of only the DVD, and a deluxe edition consisting of a DVD and a CD of the Sessions@AOL.

Their latest album, Out of Exile, was released on May 24, 2005. It debuted #1 on the U.S. charts, and featured the song "Be Yourself" as the leading single. "Be Yourself" was soon followed by "Your Time Has Come" and "Doesn't Remind Me", the latter given rave reviews and frequent radio airplay. Currently, the fourth single, "Out of Exile", is receiving moderate to high airplay on radio nationwide. The whole album was uploaded online at Audioslave's Myspace site for previewing. The album was well-received by critics and fans alike, but has only managed to attain sales of a little over one million copies in the United States and has not remained on the charts nearly as long as the debut album did in 2002-2003. In addition, critics noted Cornell's stronger vocals on their sophomore disc, likely the result of him quitting smoking and drinking.

More recently, Audioslave performed at the Live 8 concerts. Their performance was in Berlin, Germany. On August 19, 2005, Audioslave announced their first-ever headlining arena tour across the U.S. and Canada. Audioslave were nominated for the 2006 Grammy Awards in the "Best Hard Rock Performance" category for their song "Doesn't Remind Me".

Brendan O'Brien, who has produced or mixed the albums of numerous major rock acts of the past twenty years, including Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and Bruce Springsteen, is at the helm for their as-yet-untitled third record. Audioslave has 20 songs written and returned to the studio in early January to finish recording them. The follow-up to Out of Exile will be finished and released in June 2006. Tom Morello recently spoke to RollingStone.com about the progress of the recording sessions for the group's third album. "We're about halfway done," he said of the forthcoming follow-up. According to Morello, the band is in such a groove that "if we're not done in three weeks, there's a problem."
