    I got to make the first Audioslave website while working at Sony Music. Oddly, I never spoke to the artists or management when creating and launching visuals with the exception of Pete Yorn and Tenacious D, nobody even cared to have a say. The music industry is crazy and a lot of the artists in it are severely depressed. I wouldn't be surprised is the Audioslave deal was completely fucked up, as they were the first wave of deals post napster. and they were probably shuffled off and on the shelf after the Japanese sold Sony music to bmg. i wouldn't be surprised if his business had a lot to do with his passing.
