I'm on the official fan club, (audiophiles) and I got this email saying...


Dear Audiophiles,

We know that most of you have heard the news that Audioslave have disbanded.
According to a report from Billboard:

"Cornell Splits Audioslave, Covers Michael Jackson
Audioslave

February 15, 2007, 4:10 PM ET

Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
Chris Cornell has split Audioslave, the band he formed with three former members
of Rage Against The Machine, due to unspecified "irresolvable personality
conflicts as well as musical differences," according to a statement."

Now we know that many of you are wondering what this means for you as fan club
members. There was no tour, no second newsletter (we were in the planning/design
stages), and some of you have joined recently. We know that you're mad and some
are furious, thinking that we are somehow ripping you off. We will say that was
NEVER our intention. Money is not and never has been our motivation. We will try
to do what we can for as many members as we can. What this means, is that we are
going to refund those members who have joined within the last three months- from
November 15th until today. Those who have joined from the 6 month mark out, from
August 15th until now, we will have to see what money we have left. We will try
to give these members a partial reimbursement, however we cannot promise this.
Unfortunately, we cannot give reimbursements to any members who have been with
us for six months or over.

We are fans, just like you, and have only found out about this disbandment
today, just as you all did. We are truly sorry that we did not have more news
and updates for you. Would we have started this fan club if we had known then
what we know now? For our love of all things Audioslave, yes, but under
different circumstances (i.e. free , no welcome packets, etc.).

The forum will remain open until May 4th, the one year mark of the fan club's
beginning. We will be available to you until this day.
