Dave Grohl, Brandi Carlile, Perry Ferrell, Juliette Lewis and Tim McIlrath Sing Audioslave Songs with Tom Morello and Brad Wilk At Chris Cornell Tribute

One of the most interesting portions of the Chris Cornell tribute show came when a variety of singers and bassists performed with Audioslave. They ran through a selection of the group’s biggest hits, including “Cochise,” “Like A Stone,” “Set It Off” and “Show Me How To Live.” Audioslave was Cornell’s post-Soundgarden band, with the instrumental section of Rage Against The Machine – bassist Tim Commerford, drummer Brad Wilk and guitarist Tom Morello. Unfortunately Commerford did not perform, so in addition to using a plethora of rock-star vocalists to fill in for Cornell, they brought in a who’s-who of bassists as well.

Geezer Butler and Perry Ferrell played Morello and Wilk on the long-awaited first song from Audioslave, 2002’s “Cochise.” Next Juliette Lewis sang “Be Yourself.”

Other performances include Brandi Carlile singing on the modern rock smash hit “Like A Stone” – with Jane’s Addiction bassist Chris Chaney – and Tim McIlrath of Rise Against helped on “Set It Off.” Dave Grohl and Robert Trujillo came on for an explosive performance of “Show Me How To Live”
