There is a V in Audioslave

I just want to mention a couple things real quick. First off, I head the new Audioslave single. It was totally rockin', good guitar, good vocals, good build-up, can't wait For THe GUITAR SOLO......suck. Now I love Morello and I have always loved his originality, skill, etc. I was and am a big Rage fan. But on this new track, all he had to do was kick ass with a normal, flowing guitar solo and the song would have ruled. But what does he do? He resorts to his typical wah-wah guitar lick that was original like 10 years ago. Get over yourself! Do something different than the other four thousand Audioslave singles! Sheesh, what a letdown.

Lastly, Lacey and I finally got around to watching V for Vendetta. And I'm going to be a man of few words on this one:

Well-made? Check.
Beautiful to look at? Check.
Exciting? Check.
Moving and emotional at times? Check.
The most preachy, propaganda-filled bag of smarmy liberalism I've pretty much ever witnessed on celluloid? Check.

Totally Flippin' Sweet Flick? HECK YES!

I saw the video the other day and I totaly see what you're saying about the guitar solo.
It's the Rage sound reheated a decade later.
