"A musician's or artist's responsibility is a simple one, and that is, through your music to tell the truth."- "And I think that on this record, we've accomplished the mission we set out at the beginning of the first rehearsals. And that was, not to just make the best Rage Against the Machine record, but to make the best Rage record by a wide margin. We've made the heaviest record to date and it's our funkiest record to date."
- "Music is not some stuffy college lecture, ... On a good day, Rage Against the Machine is not able to just rock you like a hurricane, but also to fuel the engine with indignation and the band's activist convictions."
- "We've been able to have our cake and eat it, too. Every song, every T-shirt, is absolutely a pure expression of what we want to do. And it connects."
- "The video tells a very simple story and a very real story. It's a story of a woman who loses her husband and a child who loses his father. That's the simple story. The bigger picture is that the culture of violence at home breeds a culture of violence abroad, and there's a price to be paid for that. And that price is the loss of lives and families destroyed and to sum that up in a three-and-a-half-minute video is something that was pretty incredible."
- "It was a terrible natural disaster but an even greater human catastrophe."
- "We offer a stark contrast to the bland escapism that chokes the charts."
- "It's not like we just changed a rapper for a singer, ... We happen to have one of the greatest rock singers of all time."
- "Music and the arts feed our souls, but a decent wage puts food on the table. Musicians, fans of music, and grassroots political organizations are a potent force to fight for social justice."
- "It's a venue where you can really feel the history. You know, it was one of my first pilgrimages. I went on a rock tour just to go there and check it out."
- "We've done smaller tours at the beginning of records, we've done Lollapalooza , but this is our first real official Audioslave tour."
- "We're very involved in picking the bands. Kasbian is great. I know less about Seether , but I hear they rock."
- "We were playing some Rage Against the Machine and Soundgarden songs in the past. Between Rage, Soundgarden and Temple of the Dog, there's 11 or 12 records of our own that we could draw from."
