Audioslave Remains Free Of Needed Chemistry

Jim DeRogatis of the Chicago Sun-Times reviewed the Audioslave show at the Riviera Theatre on Wednesday, the first of a sold-out two-night stand. While frontman Chris Cornell told the audience “we’re going to be in a band called Audioslave for a long, long time,” their behavior doesn’t bode well for that prediction. “The musicians nonetheless acted like a transitory supergroup. There was little interaction or visible camaraderie between the players, and the music felt like one part Soundgarden and three parts Rage Against the Machine,” he said.
