Audioslave - Sleep Now in the Fire

[DiegoPonce36]

Stupid.

[27DJMA]

Hey, if they say "Hey,we can do it better..." fine get mad.

But they didn't. It's a free country and they did better than most punks covering it on Youtube with no rights to the song (unlike these people, who own the rights to their own dang song).

[MrRodrigazzo]

No shit man write your own songs

[irishpunk301]

chris kinda sounds like bill cosby when he raps this, :D

[MichaelGilltv]

Chris Cornell is an amazing singer but not for Zaks part.

[ayeezee01]

It's just not the same without Zack....

[Trypod008]

@ayeezee01

Yep i can totally agree on that one, lol I couldn't even make it past 45 seconds, and i think its because he sounds like a hick and i could tell that he was reading off a prompter.

[s6y9l]

Weak. I mean, why would you even attempt such a thing? Did Morello forget which band he was in?

[younthrasher95]

Audioslave was a great band, and Chris Cornell has got a good voice, but that's not his style...

[ShdowSora]

The only travesty here is the shitty quality. Chris Cornell did amazing especially since his style is NOTHING like De La Rocha

[eViLxInSaNeGOD]

Why all the hate? Chris doesnt even do all that bad.

[linjin]

This is a pure travesty. WTF is that.

[mattbox87]

Aw, I just wanted to see what they did with it, I didn't want to see hate everywhere. You kinda spoiled it. After all, this is the ineffable, inescapable RATM, there can be no imitation. I didn't expect more than I got.

[jfoley715]

The rapping in the verses isn't as good as Zach's, but he can sing the chorus pretty good. Keep in mind that this isn't Chris Cornell's style. Do you think Zach could sing Jesus Christ Pose or Rusty Cage? Think about it.

Zach, Chris, Soundgarden, Rage Against the Machine, and Audioslave are all great. Just be open minded when you listen.

[ZeroDown88]

@jfoley715 Huzzah, someone on the internet who isn't retarded! :)

[jfoley715]

@ZeroDown88 Thank you!

[2ndINFsoldier]

@jfoley715 I agree with you on this.

[snotypleinair]

wow that singer suck!

[Amberosescott]

Chriss screams sound amazing in this

[fargu1to]

if you don't previusly hear the original song(like me) this is not a bad performance.. not at all

[Istrred]

Zack better.

[xenon97bg]

@Istrred Of course he is, Chris don't have that passion in his voice

[bobo2419]

wow suck ass interpretation ...

[TNTIV]

Way to read the lyrics box hahaha... I understand it's not your song.

[PalindromeDesign]

Sorry. I love Audioslave, and Chris Cornell is my favorite singer, but this just misses the mark. And he's obviously trying to read the words. And Morellos's guitar solo?? WTF was that?

[NostalgiaKing]

210 people are just as narrow-minded as the people Rage Against the Machine claims to be against.

[mrwunderful100]

I dont know why they did this................sounds terrible this singer cant pull this off at all

[JeremyGladden]

wtf i could do better

[jesamani75]

Fail.

[KayNDayDaddy]

Is he barefoot?

[JonathanFinn96]

HAHA He doesnt know the lyrics !!! :D

[Ghraladean]

Fender Punkocaster

[parrot1993]

Chris must sing like himself, not like Zack (but both are great)

[Crazygibbon360]

I dont know why everyone is saying that Chris Cornell is bad, This just isnt his style and they were probably only experimenting with this song

[ratmrhcp354]

zack is so much beter than this dude

[thesonoflucifer]

@ratmrhcp354 what the hell man, they are different, is like compare Led Zeppelin with Frank Sinatra

[Natomsc]

@ratmrhcp354 this dude? Mr. Chris Cornell

[xordda]

I think he wasnt very comfortable. His body language on stage is like the one of a nervous shy amateur. Holding the upper part of the mic stand, eyes closed or looking to the floor.

[st00pidp0ckets]

Chris Cornell is not Zack De La Rocha, this embarrassing

[ChefKrystalKillagram]

@st00pidp0ckets You put it well stOOpidpOckets.....this truly is embarrassing

[Iamawesome239]

this makes me want to cry

[abracalabria]

Zack is Zack

[rapozaofl]

Why did you even tried it?

[777sxx]

fucked up..you broken it bullshit

[rogue851129]

just zach not chris..

[ARaBEXPLOSION]

Terrible

[NICOTOUR3000]

Chris I love you...but what are you doing man???

[CreamyDVanilla]

A minor pentatonic snooze machine...

[ahmadaz96001]

let zack do these things...

[breachmania]

I don't know what you guys are on about this is fucking awesome!

[putra110]

good sound scream...

[AngelsfanJLG]

This version doesnt make me want to punch someone in the face and get mad... I dont like this version w/ chris

[Qshu51]

sounds like,,,hes b n rape by a donky.

[ZnGanjah]

mother of god

[IlliniAirGuy]

Rage Against the Machine karaoke is probably what broke up this band...

[vapride2004]

oh this is terrible, like karaoke gone bad.

[Cherishpea1]

This totally sucks! Definitely not in the same league as Zach!

[NICOTOUR3000]

my god Crhis...where is Zach?

[stoneddarwin]

Zach was made to sing this song



[guitarniac]

Audioslave should have just stuck to Soundgarden covers. Chris is amazing, but he's not a rapper...

[Jamsessionroom1337]

@guitarniac He wasn't trying to rap... His screams were awesome i like this version too.

[NR2003Wrecker]

Is Chris wearing any shoes?

[Kolger]

@NR2003Wrecker Nope

[NR2003Wrecker]

@Kolger LOL Why would he walk on stage barefoot?

[Kolger]

@NR2003Wrecker Perhaps he feels more confortable this way. Thats not an actual stage, as they were not performing to anyone but the cameras. Those are called AOL Sessions, many bands have recorded such videos in the past. The recordings are made to be distributed to AOL Subscribers, I think.

[cjk310]

dude just wrong!

[secretagentYTer]

obviously zach fits the song better. obviously Chris sounds like a god on his own songs

[RonPilarski]

Not Chris' song. Not his style even in his younger days this would have been hard for him to pull off. Still a fan of both, just not together.

[monoxjuggalo86]

i love audioslave, i love rage, i love street sweeper SC , i even enjoy the nightwatchman but somethings you should not try to mix :( ps i would give every thing i own including sell my soul just to have tom morellos guitar :p

[AxelsOrgan]

Tell me about it, this nigga doesn't even head bang right! This guy is an embarrassment to society, he doesn't even deserve to play with this band, he doesn't put in much effort or enthusiasm like the rest of the crew, wheres the original singer when? He totally makes your boil when he sings these songs-:D

[guitarpete987]

@AxelsOrgan ... Embarrassment to society? Seriously? Yeah they probably shouldn't have attempted this but it's just not his style. Cornell is one of the most talented rock vocalists in history. I think your knock was a little harsh.

[AxelsOrgan]

@guitarpete987 Well I believe he is an embarassment, and if he is talented at rock, than he should stick to that genre, cause songs that this band plays isnt really "rock" and his voice doesnt blend in with this beat or songs they make, it was better off when the "rage against the machine" played with the lead singer who actually had a voice to blend in with this band's beat

[rbh1138]

Mr Rogers could do a more intense version then this. Actually that would be pretty cool. Anyway not a good cover. Soundgarden was good but he can't do Rage.

[PROUDTOBEIRISH96]

what the fuck is this? are you kidding me?

[bigtuga4ever]

just not the same

[Jacob96159]

just doesn't work. not singing that zack is better vocally its just that chris doesn't have intensity and when he tries he sounds like a fucking douche lol

[BSGfreak21]

Is it just me,or is he reading from a teleprompter at the beginning???this is horrid,btw RATM fans should avoid like the black plague of death...



[Mr3214789]

It is a pity that have broken up, but it is a song under RATM simply enrages

[madpat2007]

I'm sorry but it has to be said, Chris's vocals are terrible for this song, I mean they're laughably bad! Why isn't he wearing shoes either?

[xfghkhjfsejid]

Not enough energy, but decent attempt

[BobDawg173]

If they hadn't done this people would have been complaing that rage isn't performing anymore SO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GO WATCH RAGE IF YOU WANT RAGE

[BobDawg173]

Shut the hell up with not as good. It is the same people except for the lead singer. Who obviously isn't a rapper. He just did his best at it to satisfy the other band members and try to keep rage alive.

[Moschusochse]

Chris sucks. the same for the camera

[tiorimas]

To Audioslave what belongs to Audioslave, to RATM what belongs to RATM.

[BillyMaysCraze]

@tiorimas RATM is Audioslave idiot. Just a different lead singer

[TheChildOfSatan666]

This is Rage's Song. just because they started a side project with Morello doesnt make it Audioslaves song :/

[BobDawg173]

@TheChildOfSatan666 The drummer and bass player are from rage too you know

[weaponizedsoul]

He sounds like a preacher. lol.



[lain1074]

Meh.



[Eth0sPath0sL0gos]

WE WANT ZACK!!!!

[millicentbistander]

Just not Chris' style... that's all. Zach couldn't pull off Spoonman either.

[lain1074]

@millicentbistander Exactly.



[gozer2001]

NNOOO where as good not EVEN close

[MeanT241985]

This is just.....LOL

[juanchiromero97]

aguante zack carajo es un grandeee !!!!

[1awareness]

Lame

[Roonifer]

Bahaha, c'mon guys, give him a break. Chris tried.

[letsplayer352]

lol chris cornell is trying to sound like zack but its not working haha

[rfirebird2424]

Two different frontmen. One a great singer and one a great rapper. I hate to say this, but maybe rapping is sometimes better.

[RockRootReggae]

that guys got fuck all on zach

[HelterSkelterSOR]

chris's cream at the start was fail i think

[jrdrugstore]

if Chris wished to damage the song, he really got it

[shanetones]

so much fail

[kevinlbs94]

just...no

[dblakeney11]

Chris does an amazing job for not like ever rapping before this. and I think Im the only one in the world who likes Audioslave better than both soundgarden and Rage although I love all three.

[Raaskate]

i prefer with zack de la rocha

[pineal2012]

Chris can't fill in for Zach, and no one could fill in for Chris in SG. Respect to them both!!!

[bsilver887]

Its like my ears bled to death

[FixxeR186]

this was like watching some sorta 4:00 long slow-motion train wreck...

[TheGameSpy1]

What the fuck was with that guitar solo? Come on Tom Morello, your a great guitarist, but your really starting to lose it..

[iniv20]

I think the style of Rage Against the Machine does not match the voice of Chris Cornell's voice but with Zack de la Rocha

[MaTaRu39]

why dont they play a soundgarden song?

[Indreju]

@MaTaRu39 They did a number of Soundgarden songs when they were together. Pretty easy to find with a simple search.

[AaronRhcpBass]

no anger

[RNRLover2]

im not gonna say bad stuff about chris i think its ok. it is obviously not his style and zch would do better but i think chris did the best that he could and i still felt the power this song has

[MrTwatmasterfleX]

wow that was uncomfortable.

[oween5]

he just needs to pronounce the words like sack does and the song would sound better... he pronounces them too properly and any rap/talking part of a song cant have that

[nicolasjaramillo89]

Chris Cornell is a good singer but in this song he sucks, dont mess with RATM, Zack is the one an only!

[jahg360]

Chris Cornell's voice is more powerful and better; is great!!!!, but this is not your style

[Hornwiesel]

sucks

[BiGGraff100]

Ok he's reading it off a tv screen...what the fuck is this???

[MrArghhhh]

audio-bullshit

[chazhegstrom]

Don't mean to piss anyone off, and keep in mind I love both RATM and Audioslave but I hate when Chris tries singing Zach songs.

[brayand281]

rapping Zach wins but in the screams Chris cornell has no competition...thats what made this song not suck for me

[error204]

Is it me or Chris Cornell is not comfortable playing RATM songs?

[tommysaurussmex]

its different...both are good versions...impossible to pick a favourite though...its like trying to compare chalk and cheese 

[offsrx]

I like this version! Even if his rapping is worser than Zach's, Chris has better high screams, which this song needs!

[ayachuca]

this is sad and shitty

[vietnow97]

without zach it not the same.

[GOSS4MER]

@vietnow97

so tru

[lucio1984]

@vietnow97 exactly zack feels the song, this top-model just sing....

[joyka100]

joder que mal version

[dammit1996jaded]

my face when the song started: :D

My face when i saw this 0:23 :@

[MiShO132]

Chris is great vocalist but Zach is fuckinn animal :D

[johnnyxlopez]

Chris Cornells voice doesnt make me wanna punch somebody in the face....wheres Zach

[JovemBohmeio]

Viva Zack de La Rocha!

[TheScads1]

i wanna hear zach do jesus christ pose

like here

[elbombastico123]

it wouldnt matter if elton john was the front man! it would still sound amazing!!!

[ff621]

@elbombastico123 lol

[GoneGuitaring]

@elbombastico123 not true..

[Carlibengarli]

I'm sure Chris could do better if he changed his vocal arrangement a bit. :P

[trancos1982]

uhm... no es lo mismo. Pero no lo hace mal.

[nicolaevic]

Chris cornell doesn't want to compare himself to Zack, you're all silly and you compare them! He just sings this song cause he likes it and pays tribute to RATM

Don't be so hateful omg

[nicolaevic]

Coool chorus!

[FaTBoY2077]

0.23

Did someone bite his dick?

[romparkin]

FUCK U QUIT THIS SONG NEVER PLAY IT AGAIN WANKZILLA!

[HaLfDeAdArtist1]

Damn Chris sucks covering Rage. Must of been hell preforming with him. I would of just stopped and be like damn dude. You suckkk. And I dont even say dude.

[CroMarduk]

@EroticCheesecake yeah, probably 'cause chris needs Timbaland to make him angry

[JAStewart]

Is he reading an autocue at times...?

[TheAmazingDominator]

fuck you chris cornell

[kogieblues07]

come on in.!hahahaha

[gravygobblehunklerum]

Dont talk shit about Cornell. U just cant do that. Its illegal.

[uprivershadow]

Awh i love Chris but he's better for drunken anger music not political anger music.

[sulfatero1]

he sucks ,no energy  zach is the best

[Huargos1]

i think that the only thing that's wrong is that chris pronouces the words to well instead of saying FIRE he should say FAYA XD

[acdc192837465]

Not the same without Zack, as EroticCheesecake said "No Anger"

[sexycornell1]

No es su estilo pero aun asi lo hace excelente,

[huey77huez]

not good



[MrUjjwaluk]

i lov



[joncuesta95]

shit, this sucks...OG version is soooooooo much better

[ckrehbi1]

musically this is ight but its not rage.

[AtheistBuckeye]

I love the beat that Brad lays down at 3:11 right before Tom's solo.

[TheDimlarryking]

oh .. they say nothing is irreplaceable but zack is.

[freakyholic]

fuck you chris cornell. you ruined the badass song!

[rhnurullin]

Chris Cornell raps good

[qBioniXp]

it suits zacks voice better

[Perniciousdeeds]

@qBioniXp definitely

[crackrepla]

sick cover :(

[bobomber]

this should go on failblog

[slashhudson]

@EroticCheesecake no rage

[disestablishme]

chris cornhole BELONGS in the grave.

[Hornwiesel]

there's no rage,no anger

[aCit0ofUmi]

I hate it..it's not the same...!!!!!
