What’s next for Audioslave?
TC: We have another three weeks left of another tour that we’re on. Then we go home and Chris’s wife is pregnant with their second baby—and Chris’s third child—so he’s gonna take part in that. And, as soon as he’s in the clear after that, which will probably be after the holidays, we’re gonna go back in with Brendan O’Brien to record our next record, which we have ready to go. It’s exciting! FN: With three of you living in Los Angeles and Chris living in France, how do you rehearse? TC: He lives in France, but he just bought a house out in L.A. Chris is on the ball. I really feel like, as a fan of Cornell, he’s at an all-time high. He really is. He sings effortlessly right at the moment. During our shows, for my own vocals, I have an in-ear monitor, so I’ve got Chris in there and I hear him really good. I can tell! Whether he’s doing the Rage Against The Machine songs or Audioslave or Soundgarden, he is at an all-time high. He’s doing versions of Rage songs that I can argue are better
