1. EW Grade: B+ ‘Revelations,‘ Audioslave Reviewed by Whitney Pastorek Five years ago, Rage Against the Machine replaced their departed frontman with Soundgarden‘s Chris Cornell to form Audioslave –– and they‘ve been coasting on his unmistakable vocals ever since.

2. In one case, an employee of Sony‘s Epic label was trying to promote the group Audioslave to a station and asked÷ "What do I have to do to get audioslave on WKSS this week?

3. It just doesn‘t work." A few splintered bands have opted for a new name altogether, as Velvet Revolver and Audioslave have done.

4. The former‘s appetite for reconstruction led three Guns N‘ Roses alums to team with Stone Temple Pilot‘s former singer; Audioslave combined a Soundgarden singer with Rage Against the Machine members.

5. The event moves on at 1200 hours GMT to Johannesburg, where Luky Dube, Mahotella Queens and the 4Peace Ensemble are slated to perform. At 1400 hours in Moscow, the Pet Shop Boys will take the stage, among others. The showcase in London kicks off at 1500 GMT with veteran acts like the Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd sharing the stage with such contemporary stars as Joss Stone, Dido and Coldplay. The Berlin show also commences at 1500, where pop legends Brian Wilson (whose band the Beach Boys performed in 1'85) and Crosby, Stills and Nash appear with contemporary rockers Green Day and Audioslave, as does the show in Rome with Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and Duran Duran.
