 @2fe92171 @cfcf7cd7 @a6ff0b2b Alright, lets cd ../../.. a few times back in this thread to Chris Cornell. Post Soundgarden, Chris releasesd a bunch of bangers solo like [Can't Change Me](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecoWjR3fDT0), [Seasons](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uwT1Q6JeB4), and [Nothing Compares 2 U](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuUDRU9-HRk) 
 @2fe92171 @cfcf7cd7 @a6ff0b2b But folks, we're not here for Chris's solo work (I'm always here for it, actually) we're here for Supergroups. So what happens when political protest rap-rock group like Rage Against the Machine have a falling out with the lead singer? A band that made [Killing in the Name](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8de2W3rtZsA), [Calm Like a Bomb](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKm6GkXOHCc) and [Guerilla Radio](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm1nCYOZB-s)? 
 @2fe92171 @cfcf7cd7 @a6ff0b2b Easy my children, you take all of the instrumentalists from Rage, add Chris on vocals,  and form Audioslave and become known for this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm1nCYOZB-s, though I'm partial to [Cochise](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDMvN45sjo4) and [Shadow on the Sun](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGYGfaM694M) 
 @2fe92171 @cfcf7cd7 @a6ff0b2b And we can pull that thread a little more. Tom Morello, probably one of the best/most influential guitar players in the last 3 decades, would also go on and form another supergroup with members of Cypress Hill and Public Enemy. They sound like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2220MdXVPGw 
 @2fe92171 @cfcf7cd7 @a6ff0b2b Anyway, fun topic. If we turned this into a coolest collabs thread, holy shit I'd be here all night. Pick basically any name in this thread, and they've worked with someone amazing that you didn't expect. anyway, go listen to @2fe92171, my favorite show about buying a refrigerator and learning if we can even do a vacation (I told you I was bad at pitching this.) 
 @7733fbd0 @2fe92171 @cfcf7cd7 @a6ff0b2b and in the mid-2010s Tom Morello hitched his wagon to Bruce Springsteen, joining  the E Street Band as another backing guitar player, along side the little known Steven Van Zandt and Nils Lofgren.
