CHRIS CORNELL: 'It's 'Pretty Exciting To Be AUDIOSLAVE'

October 26, 2005

Launch Radio Networks reports: AUDIOSLAVE is currently in the middle of its first major North American tour since the release of "Out of Exile", which finds the band headlining arenas on its own for the first time. Lead singer Chris Cornell told Launch that the trek couldn't be going better. "It's been great," he said. "We started in Bakersfield (California) and it was incredible, it was off the chain. The audience was amazing and we're for sure gonna go back. And it just kind has run like that the whole time. It's great to be able to play the new songs and have people know them, and we're also playing new songs that are gonna be on our third record. So it's pretty exciting to be Audioslave and play these shows."

AUDIOSLAVE did a short run of North American dates just before "Out of Exile"'s May 24 release.

As on that tour, AUDIOSLAVE is playing songs from its members' previous groups, SOUNDGARDEN, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE and TEMPLE OF THE DOG.

The band is joined on the current jaunt by openers SEETHER and KASABIAN.

AUDIOSLAVE released a concert DVD, "Live In Cuba", earlier this month.

The band plays tonight (Wednesday, October 26) in Fairfax, Virginia.
