Try reading up on the guy. I don't have time to get into examples, but he's a Class S Shithead. "Selfish" and "Petty" are words that frequently come to mind when he's concerned.
The problem with Audioslave is that the music was, by and large, mediocre and formulaic. Now, that in itself is not necessarily a bad thing, because if you have the right kind of musicians backing you *coughThayilcough* that doesn't become a problem, but when you have a guitarist like Tom Morello that relies on funky audio technology to make things interesting, the standard, obligatory guitar solo just doesn't work because the man can't fucking solo.
Still, I also liked them better than Rage because Rage attracted the worst kind of people. People like Justin.

What technology are we talking about here? I've never seen anything more exotic then a pedal.

He does lots of stuff like purposeful feedback and heavy distortion.
In general I try to avoid finding out what artists, particularly authors and musicians, are really like "in real life".
The problem is that for every Terry Pratchett there's an Orson Scott Card.
In general I try to avoid learning Musicians names because I like music for what it is more than for what the image of jack shmoe is and which crowd he is trying to appeal to and how many puppies he kills on a nightly coked-up rage.
I like the music for the music. Hitler could have written everlong and I still would like the song.
He does a lot of effects in post as well, but those pedals are actually pretty exotic when you get down to the hardware inside them. That and the way he mounts and switched between his pickups so he can create some of the crazier sounds he gets out of them.

Man Card is such a fuck muppet.
Exactly. The problem is that it really does colour my enjoyment of Card's books, whereas knowing that Pratchett is an all-round decent chap doesn't really enhance my enjoyment of his to any particular degree.

True for writers it doesn't make a good writers books better, but when you find out the writer is a royal piece of shit its hard to read anything they write.
Opposite of actors it seems.
Preacher on
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

Enlighten us to this interesting and shocking revelation.

Chris Cornell made fun of the tardcart.
The only vocalist that comes to mind that is better than Cornell is Freddie Mercury. Guy is a god damned legend.
Edit: And, of course, Bowie.
It's not easy having an addiction.
Vocal skill is such a hard thing to peg, because outside of genre, you also run in to the argument of difficulty, longevity, and uniqueness.
Johnny Cash will always be one of my favorite singers.

What? He was a manic depressive who hated himself.

This..this is what ive missed
Yeah but in Card's case you can quite clearly tell he is a fuckmuppet just from reading his books without any outside research whatsoever.
STOP TALKING ABOUT MY MOTHER LIKE THAT
I like this because 90% of the time it gives their work a new meaning.

with my system no, I wouldn't!
see how great it is?
*sigh*
Tav tav tav, the joke you totally let it blow your head off.
True riemann, though you don't know the extent of his mormon crazy from his book alone (enders game is only real success right?).

Wouldn't that be better phrased as technique?
Who also had a messiah complex about music.
