The guitarist once again comments on the possibility of releasing new material with recordings made while Chris Cornell was still alive which have been shelved.
Guitarist Tom Morello shared news about potential new Audioslave songs. According to him, plans were to release this material, recorded with Chris Cornell (Soundgarden) alive and which ended up shelved at the time.
According to the Rage Against the Machine guitarist, there is no set deadline for this material to be released to the public, but there is a great desire for it to happen.
In an interview with SNSMix (via NME), Morello commented on the delay in the process:
“It’s not that there isn’t anything, it’s just that we haven’t been able to finish everything yet. There are no plans not to release them. I would like them to reach the world and I hope that one day it will happen.”
Giving details about the source of this unreleased material, Morello added:
“It’s not like we picked the top 10. Sometimes someone likes this song, someone doesn’t like that one. So we had leftover songs from each of the three Audioslave albums, and some of them are really great.”
Audioslave and support Chris Cornell’s widow
The guitarist has support Vicky CornellChris Cornell’s widow to continue this project. In 2020 she told USA Today (via NME):
“He’s alive in this way and his legacy lives on. So for me, the most important thing is to see how much people love him and miss him and respect him and how much we want to hear more of his music. So it will all be released.”
