Granted they are two entirly differnt banRAB/Styles, you arn't garenteed to like both if you like one. Rage is my fav. Problems I have with Audio Slave ....
First, Chris, despite a great live show, seems to spend more time showing off his voice than writing his lyrics.
Second, There are a few places on the audio Slave Cd where you can actualy hear cut and past ops or
Fx insertions.... Thats just a shame, granted they put it out fast, but seriously, thats rookie. (I still enjoy AS, this is not a condemnation)
As far as Rage break up....that display by Tim at the MTV thing certainly didn't help.... There was also a good Interview witht Tom and Tim (I think those two) in a back issue of Guitar World>
