Yep, this site is not dead yet. There has been very little news about Audioslave over the summer, except the fact that the band is (was) working on their still untitled second album. Once news picks up soon, I will begin updating daily! Also, I still plan on expanding the website even though I have a full time schedule with school, as I see that every other Audioslave sucks! So spread the word and make Slaves of Music the best damn Audioslave site period! (FSN, don't sue me).

Wow, it has been a while! I'm back from school and ready to update and upgrade in time for the announcement... Audioslave is going into the studio to record their second album very soon. Interscope Records will be releasing this next album, as part of the deal with Epic Records (Epic owns Chris's contract and Interscope owns Rage's contract, so the two labels agreed to switch off releasing Audioslave albums.)
Here is an MTV snippet of Audioslave in the studio with Rick Rubin from last month: Chris Cornell and the former members of Rage Against the Machine are also still in the writing phase, and although Rubin hasn't heard much, he has high expectations for the band's second album. "I get [two-way] pages from the guys on a pretty regular basis after rehearsal and they're like, 'We were good at work today, you're gonna be so excited,' so that's nice," Rubin said. "What's exciting to me about this album is, they weren't really a band when we made the last album. They had never done one show. And now they've done a lot of touring and they've really become a band. They're so much more comfortable with each other now; they got along fine before, but it was so new. The potential is off the map. I think the last album is good, but I think we could do better than that."

As many of you may already know, there will be the first in a series of concerts for the Axis of Justice on March 31, 2004 at the Troubadour in Hollywood, CA. The concert will feature accoustic performances by The Nightwatchman (Tom Morello), Serj Tankian of System of a Down, Wayne Kramer, Boots Riley of the Coup, and special guests! Tickets have already gone on sale, so hurry up and grab them!

It has been a while! Anyway, Audioslave recently went 0 for 2 at the Grammys award show on the 8th. Unfortunately, Evanescence won the award for Best Rock Record and Foo Fighters won the award Best Hard Rock Song with "One by One." Personally, I think Like a Stone kicks both those bands asses, but that's just me. So stay tuned as more good things are to come!

Happy new year, everyone! Well no real news again with Audioslave except the fact that "Audioslave" is again rising the charts thanks to the success of the "I Am The Highway" as a single. More news on this site however... All of the photos pages and the FAQ have been updated, my review of "Audioslave" and my hate list has been added to the Slave Wire page, and a new banner design and sub-banner design for the front page is coming soon.

Well, another update has finally arrived in wake of the recent news that Audioslave's debut album has now gone double platinum. The RIAA has just recently confirmed that the album has sold two million copies and amazingly still on the Billboard 200 over a year after its release.
The "Tell us the Truth" tour has finally reached its conclusion this time around. Here's a review from shows in Madison, Wisconsin and Asheville, North Carolina - Badger Herald PhreshWater.
Now that I'll have time coming up to work on the site soon, look out for many new improvements and additions in the days ahead. And as always, set that f*cker off!

As you may or may not know, Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello is uniting with fellow peers Billy Bragg, Steve Earle and others for the "Tell us the Truth" tour. The website tellusthetruth.org is still under construction but you can find tour dates for the tour via Pollstar here. Also, "Like a Stone" has been nominated for Song of the Year/Rock Radio for the 2003 Radio Music Awards which will be aired on NBC on October 27 at 9 p.m. Eastern.

News is really really slow on the Audioslave front, so I decided to work on the site a little more. The results? New pages. Both an F.A.Q. and a Timeline page have been added to the page, and you can access these pages on the navigation toolbar on the right. More new stuff is on the way, so until next time, ta ta.

Word on the street is that the awesome ballad "I Am The Highway" will be the newest single off Audioslave's almost double-platinum selling self-titled debut. I heard the song personally on two major Chicago radio stations so I have a feeling that is for real. Also, the Search buttons on the right side of this page were acting up, so I reduced it to a single link until FreeFind fixes that up. Enjoy!

The news is a little slow for Audioslave now that Lollapalooza is finished. The website has gotten some recent additions and new improvements are on their way. When any news comes out, I will let you (the visitor) now.

Lollapalooza might be going to Europe, says Perry Farrell of Jane's Addiction. More information in the NME article here.
This is the first update for Slaves of Music. In the meantime, I am requesting a number of websites to link this site in order to attract visitors to this site. So stay tuned and hang on for the ride!
