In a recent interview with Stuff Magazine, Chris Cornell blamed the Audioslave break-up on the band members' different recording styles.
"They were just different from me," he said. "They wanted to have the A&R guy come down to the studio; they wanted the producer to tell them what he thought of the music. That just wasn't my thing."
Cornell also talked about the differences between being in a band and going solo.
Some bands are formed around an egocentric, control-freak singer, and others are more democratic. I mean, if you are playing as a Smashing Pumpkin, is that much different from playing in Billy Corgan's band? One thing I can say is that when you are playing solo, you don't have to do anything you don't want to, musically.
Everyone who had "studio differences" in the Audioslave Break-up Pool, congratulations! You are a winner, along with everyone who said "creative differences," "money," "unwillingness to tour," "politics," "difference in musical styles," "different visions for the band," "ego," "they had accomplished as much as they thought they could," "lack of politics," "the fact that we're all pretty sure they never liked each other in the first place," and "Zack de la Rocha finally found out about some new 3rd world revolutions and was ready to re-form Rage Against the Machine."
