    Insider -- For musicians, the hairs the thing  Nov 2, 2007
    Audioslave had flashes of brilliance early on, but unfortunately the band sacrificed its best musical qualities (from Cornell s soaring vocals to Tom Morello s innovative guitar work) in favor of mindless rock music of the soft-sell, made for the Tonight Show variety.
