Due to irresolvable personality conflicts as well as musical differences, I am permanently leaving the band Audioslave. I wish the other three members nothing but the best in all of their future endeavours.

At the end of the day it's the fans who make you who you are.

An acoustic show is all about you, and any little nuance or mistake is amplified.

I don't get in there and create a character. It's more of a voice that I hear living inside the music.

What do you think Jesus would twitter, 'Let he who is without sin cast the first stone' or 'Has anyone seen Judas? He was here a minute ago.'

'The Beatles' did whatever they wanted. They were a collection of influences adapted to songs they wanted to write. George Harrison was instrumental in bringing in Indian music. Paul McCartney was a huge Little Richard fan. John Lennon was into minimalist aggressive rock.

There wasn't a key moment when I knew I wanted to quit.
