    I used to think highly of Soundgarden back in the early 90s (I liked all of those Steve Alibinesque sort of bands: Mudhoney, Tad, Screaming Trees, Skin Yard, etc.) but I never really got into 'Rage'. Preachy Native American Rap just wasn't my forte.

    In fact, this just seems like a cashin. Actually, wait... Chris Cornell did that Hungry song.

    As a gigantic Rage and Soundgarden fan I love it. It's also nice to finally have it become true after the non stop rumors.

    IMO, this sounds like a PERFECT fit. I'm really interested to hear it.

    I love Rage and I love Soundgarden. Soundgarden was like the only grunge Seattle band I liked back in the day and I was sad when they broke up. I've always loved Rage and I know that this new band will definitely sound different.

    Nothing Tom Morrello is a part of is a bad thing, so I'm looking forward to this.

    I'll be interested to see how they'll end up sounding. Replacing a rapper with an awesome vocalist should change their work drastically.

    Let's get this straight:
    Cornell is not joining Rage. Rage is not backing up Chris Cornell.

    Chris Cornell and the remaining members of RATM are forming a NEW band.

    That said, I'm excited as hell. Cornell is one of my favorite songwriters. His vocal ability is pure bliss. Not too many people can put as much emotion and power in a song as he can.

    He left the band earlier this year. He claimed that he and the band were no longer on the same page anymore. Supposedly this has been going on for a while now.

    Yeah, they had a lot of difficulty getting along. That's why it took so many years for them to put out a new album, they couldn't stand each other.

    Here are some Rage related articles...
