Is it true that Chris won write any political songs?
You may have heard that Chris wouldn’t join the band if they were political. When this was mentioned to Chris in an interview at KROQ radio, he said he had heard a lot of rumors, but not that one. Though his lyrics are not as blatantly political as those of Zack de la Rocha, some of his lyrics are clearly influenced by current affairs and his thoughts and feelings on these. At Audioslave shows the band have proudly displayed a stance against war, and Chris performed a gig in Milan wearing black camouflage paint and a U.S army uniform. Audioslave are not a ‘political’ band, but they have political opinions just like most people.
