Audioslave’s “Like A Stone” is the latest rock video to pass the coveted one billion view mark on YouTube. The last video that received a good deal of fanfare in marking the achievement was Evanescence with “Bring Me To Life“.
Fronted by Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell and featuring Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk of Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave burst onto the scene in 2002 with their self titled album. The album would go on to sell more than three million copies and features “Show Me How To Live”, “Cochise” and the breakout hit “Like A Stone”.
The band would go on to release two more albums before Cornell left the group in 2007. Audioslave reunited in 2017 and just as the possibility of more music from the talented foursome seemed like a reality, Chris Cornell passed away just three months later.
What’s clear is, fans are still connecting with Audioslave’s music more than two decades later.
