  • Great song! perfect for any action movie

  • This song is perfect for any war game.

    Take WiC for example. Perfect song for the trailer.

  • @PrayForFuckingPlague its not just the trailer, that's an in game mission prequel movie

  • WiC yeah.This song is pure awesomness!!

  • the drums and bass is heavy in this song

  • GOOD!

  • this song is reminds me of the crappy day i had and what i need to make this better so i can proser tnks man for the video i must redeem myself and get my love back somehow

  • this song is incredible, the voice wake up ur mind and the guitar are simply but strong really really nice song, Need more like that . From french guitarist.

  • awesome song!

  • I love this song. Immediately looked for it after hearing it on Collateral ^^ I think the guitar solo at 2:30 is slightly weird, but it reminds me of a connection breaking up, which I think fits well with war

  • Yeah, that's where I heard it from too.

  • Makes me think of the aftermath of that World In Conflict trailer with the chopper getting destroyed. My idea shows an officer aboard one of the other choppers that got hit landing, stumbling around for a second or two, then trying to rally his men into a valiant counter-assault, retaking the entire position at the cost of his life, and showing the men chanting "shadow on the sun!" as his body is borne away by his closest friends, his arms crossed on his rifle.

  • :( thts sad :(

  • what the fuck are you on about?

    a world in conflict trailer.

    that's just stupid.

  • this song is in the game world in conflict were tons of American soldiers are dieing by anti air its suppose to add a dramatic feel and then upset the user

  • @metaltalica fuckin right u r!

  • @amyunbeatable thats tom morrello for you

  • @amyunbeatable Weird? thats tom morello!

  • i bet this song got more popular cuz of world in conflict trailer. lol. love the song!

  • I like this song....

  • Sometimes solos are just not needed.

  • Tom Morello's a genius... Unlike yourself...

  • Watch the trailer for World in conflict.

    It´s great.

  • this really fits war movies and games

  • At 2:58 the solo kicks A, but he never plays that part on concert..

  • i like the beginning into 2:30

    that's where i start to hate it a little beginning better.

  • I agree. People say that the solo at 2:30 is awesome. Maybe it's difficult but i really think it's the worst part of the song.

    Saludos desde bilbao. Agur.

  • first part would be good for a military video.

    showing its sad.

  • they did a very good military video with this song called "war movies with 'shadow on the sun'by Audioslave"

    very good video

    just watch it ;)

  • Or the World in Conflict trailer. It's pretty epic.

  • i agree its so epic blows ur mind off

  • Haha yeah exactly

  • Watch the trailer for World in conflict.

    It´s great.

  • they got a world in conflict trailer with the song. the trailer is about the soviet union invading liberty island.

  • I know what you mean... I liked Audioslave's first album, but there's a pattern with their songs being 90% great, but an annoying 10% that doesn't fit at all with the rest of their song, just sorta thrown in there.

    On this one you have that weird solo after 2:30, and then Cornell shouting "SUUUUUUN!" at the end of a generaly mild song. Same goes with the weird solo on Like a Stone around 3:15.

  • I actually like the quirky unexpected bits that don't seem to belong the most. Gives it a feeling that it isn't so formulaic and that you don't know what's coming. I'm tired of standard predictable verese/chorus/verse stuff. I like the left-field things in a lot of Audioslave's songs. It's what sets them apart.

  • actually they're all kinda like verse chourus verse chorus solo bridge chorus. Thats real common. They are still all great songs though. I love this band.

  • audioslave is the same band as rage against the machine except ratm has zac singing where audioslave has chris (cornell)

  • I disagree. Rage went on ideological rants. I don't see that in Audioslave.

  • i just came across this in world in confilct

  • i first heard this song on the game world in conflict lol

  • i heard it on world in conflict too

  • me too

  • same here then was trying to learn what the song was and found it.

    its really great i think its part sad.

  • I love this song, I first heard it on Collateral and i loved it.

  • hmm the guitar solo is different in a different version i heard which i thought was the album version.

  • the best song of audioslave...i like it

  • notice all songs are set up like the original songs by rage against the machine

  • cause audioslave is rage against the machine minus the lead singer

  • vincint you asshole you made max end this song

  • LOL yeah! I was watching it yesterday for the second time since I got it, and loved this song (again). So I had to go onto WIki and find the song list for the film and do some trial and error till I found it. I'm a fan of RATM too :D

  • lol that movie is sweet

  • This is on wicked song!

  • Awesome song, but the second half ruins it!

  • O.o

  • what? why?

  • The guitar riff of Tom Morrelo is soooo damn cool and kicks ass

  • Ownes asses.

    XD

  • I love the song since the movie Collateral.

    Very good, the song and the movie.

  • Collateral had a great soundtrack

  • 超讚

  • ???????

  • I love his voice and the lyrics are great...rocks indeed!I cant get enoght listening....

  • love it, can't stop listening to it!

  • questa si che è musica che viene dal cuore!!!!!!!

  • spanish guy ftw! ...idk wut he said but i bet it was hardcore!

  • that is a konji symbol lol not spanish xD but your right

  • Love the beginning!

  • This rocks ............Hard

    Love it.

  • The first 4 minutes or so are awesome, but towards the end I turn it off. It ruins it.

  • yeah same here man

  • You're missing a kickass guitar riff then.

  • Me too it wqs just AMAZING!

  • Yesterday I watched "Collateral" and this song is played while they drive thru the city - amazing!

  • me too, me too ^-^

  • thats a really good movie

  • Nothing more to say xD

  • mee to it was great and since then i love this song^^

  • is this not an amazing work of art?

  • it really is

  • I totally agree, thats my fav bit too

  • 3:40 - 4:05 is the best part.

    really good song

  • It really is just a beautiful song, from the sound itself to how the lyrics were written. Hell, even his final screaming solo, while unexpected, manages to grow on you. One of their best works.

  • autioslave is the only band ever in my time that can rock out and be really good at the same time! They are the reasons why I listen to rock!!! if it wasn't 4 them I would think that music really sucks!

  • This is one of my fav audioslave solo along with i am the highway. I have the uppermost respect for tom. I loved audioslave and love rage as well. Great group of musicians ^^ awesome song <3

  • at the beggining of the song is the best part

  • naw, totally the helicopter solo

  • Good song!

  • I think the song is pretty much perfect up 'till the end...where he continues shouting with his voice cracking over and over....Still I think this deserves a 4/5...

  • How can you solo like that on a guitar!?

    He's amazing!

  • love audioslave and love the song except for the shouting at the end. chris is just too amazing of a singer and vocalist to do that.

  • i'm sure it's release.

  • this is the shit.

  • audioslave r better than rage tbh

  • Absolutely spot-on. I almost split a gut listening to this: LOL!

  • Wow, this song is so ponderously melodramatic and bad that it's almost good. Perfect pseudo-meaningful lyrics! You couldn't get a super-computer to generate better schlock!

    And sung with such hilarious conviction, not to mention a serious head cold!

    Hats off to Audioslave, they've made a lot of video game-playing 10 year-olds happy.

  • im not 10...im 11

  • aaaah, don't bother with it. I saw this message under 2 other "shadow on the sun" videos ;b

  • lol im not 10 or 11 im 16 sooyeah i just h8 those messeges so i say stuff like that....

  • Well, at the last party I attended there wasn't much Audislave. There was a hell of a lot of Tool and Rage. These lyrics needed an editor though that's for sure but hell rock has been ponderous and loaded with cliches since Simon and Garfunkel.

  • the yelling part is the part where you slit your wrists lol this song is some real shit luv it ever since i heard it on collateral soundtrack

  • no audioslave broke up and chris cornell is on his own now, i like chris cornell but i wish he would've stayed w/ audioslave!!!!

  • now that they broke up everyone went back to rage against the machine

  • is audioslave still together?

  • oh men that solo at around 2.30 to 3.10 is so nice, i want more!!

  • Hell yes!

  • Great song except for the last minute where he just keeps shouting

  • Besides, that part's awesome, lol! -_-

  • yeah...i hate tat part

  • my favourite song... yes thats the european way.

  • audio slave wins 999999999999 internets

  • he he :]

    That's some funny shit dude.

  • i like this song alot

  • nice solo

  • it's not grunge...

  • It sorta developed from Grunge, wouldn't ya say?

  • well, for me the grunge is dead

    it's Post-grunge/Hard rock

  • Audioslave?

  • Audislave is Supergroup.

  • What is this grunge?

  • grunge is god of music meeeennn!!

  • This song is pure energy. I have to disagree with the people who dislike the ending. The scream sort of puts a lot of emotion in it.

  • Although I don't generally don't like screaming in my music, the ending to this song is rather emotionially and I enjoyed.

  • good. It's an emotional song. (: I generally dislike screening, but at least it's Cornell and not another singer that may sound like a ... you know... little girly girl emo-screamo fruitpie.

  • *generally dislike screaming* whoops.

  • haha i totally know what you mean

  • Yep. I definantly agree with that :P

  • Yeah, bands like Hurt and Shinedown also share the same use of screaming and emotion in their music.

  • Well I'm alright with emotion in music, it's what music's about. Passion, emotion, and the all around sound of the stuff, but I guess I just don't like the sound of a lot of the emo bands.

  • I love this song. That video in World in Conflict goes so well with it.

  • Thats where I first heard the song, now everytime I hear it I feel like playing World in COnflict

  • yeah dude. i just got that game today. pretty fucking great. song was perfect for the scen they used.

  • nice song

  • oh god, the ending runined the rest of this otherwise awesome song >:(

  • Are you serious? It's got such a good guitar riff.

  • Sorry if I don't have the refined taste for incohearant screaming.

  • i have to agree the screaming at then does kind of kill it.. not saying i dont like screamin seeing as my favorite bands include machine head and divine heresy. but its out of place with this song. other wise i love this song. this whole album is fkn awesome.. deep and soulfull

  • lol

  • Feel happier now? If your G/F has to move, you'll deal. Whatever is meant to be, will be. Sounds cliche, but it is what it is.

  • U.S.S.R

  • lol dont worry be happy ha like that song works =D

  • You could also try anything by Denis Leary

  • i got to say this song is a good song but its not making me feel any better my girlfriend might have to move and well im praying that she dosnt.

  • Well, there's always 'Don't Worry, Be Happy'

  • i got to say this song is a good song but its not making me feel any better my girlfriend might have to move and well im praying that she dosnt.

  • the song should go till 4:37 the last part sucks

  • I agree, but you gotta take the good with the bad. Life lesson

  • WIC owns and the vid with this song in it is awsome

  • this is probley one of the best songs to listen befor you go out on patrol/duty in war it kinda calms you down and pumps you up at the same time

  • this is best

  • WiC is amazing! Using this amazing song with an amazing game really made an amazing combination! Whoop! World in Conflict: Soviet Assault!
