Tom Morello says that he was in talks with the late Chris Cornell to reunite Audioslave just prior to his death. The idea came up after the band reunited for a brief three-song set last January. “We started talking about maybe doing some sort of similar thing where maybe it would be a Prophets of Rage show and then we would drop an Audioslave set into the middle of it, and we’d have a ball,” Morello told Music Feeds. “I just say ‘Thank god we played it,’ you know? Audioslave hadn’t played in 12 years, although I’d played another show with Chris about a year before that. And it was wonderful to be close friends and to rock again and to play some Audioslave songs and stand next to him onstage with his – you know – his rock god powerful self, and his amazing voice and his amazing hair and his amazing whole thing, you know? It was wonderful.” Cornell committed suicide last May. Copyright(c) 2017 RTTNews.com. All Rights Reserved
