Chris Cornell to Join Rage
When Zack de la Rocha abruptly left Rage Against the
Machine last October, the future of the
alterna-political band was anything but clear. But it
appears the band will soldier
on, albeit with a new name, and with former
Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell behind the mic.
Steve Hochman of the Los Angeles Times reports that
Cornell has officially inked his name on the dotted
line of the new band, which will also comprise Rage
guitarist Tom
Morello, bassist Tim Commerford, and drummer Brad
Wilk. Hochman goes on to report that the new band,
still unnamed, will eschew the political rap-rock that
was Rage's
trademark for a more hard rock theme.
According to Peter Mensch and Jim Guerinot, managers
for Rage and Cornell, respectively, the quartet has
written 20 songs and will head into the studio with
producer Rick
Rubin next week to begin recording.
"Both of these groups of individual artists are more
excited about this than at any other point in their
career," Guerinot tells the Times. "I've never seen
Chris so excited and that's
echoed from Brad, Tom, and Tim. They think this is
the best work of their careers. ... I can't tell you
what it was like hearing them together."
Of course, with any high-profile musical coupling,
there are still details to be worked out. Cornell is
signed to Interscope, while the remains of Rage are on
Epic. One possibility,
according to Mensch, is that the new band would
actually release albums on both labels. "That's what
I'm told they're thinking about," he says. "Album one
on Epic, album two
on Interscope."
Neither party is unused to breakups. Former Rage
singer de la Rocha released an angry statement last
year, saying the band's "decision-making process has
completely failed.
It is no longer meeting the aspirations of all four
of us collectively as a band, and from my perspective,
has undermined our artistic and political ideal."
Formed in Los Angeles in
1991, Rage Against the Machine released four studio
albums together.
For his part, Cornell's decision to leave Soundgarden
in 1997 proved the end of the seminal Seattle grunge
band. His solo album, Euphoria Morning, was released
in 1999 to tepid
reviews and limited sales success.
