This site concentrates on Chris's post-Audioslave solo career, but there's plenty still online about his past projects. If you want to know more about Chris's earlier solo album Euphoria Morning, check out Deb Baker's original Fan Page 1999-2003, now offline but [mostly] archived at the Wayback Machine. Deb's site also contains some info about early Audioslave - alternatively, the official Audioslave site is still online. For Soundgarden, visit the fantastic Unofficial Soundgarden Homepage and the Soundgarden Live Guide, and don't forget Reachdown.com for Temple Of The Dog.

Maybe not relevant - but by popular request, here's a download link for my band Species 8472's traditional celtic version of Audioslave's Shadow On The Sun (right click, save as), featuring beautiful vocals and clarsach from my kids' music teacher, Beth Hunter, and tin whistles from young local musician Alex Urquhart-Taylor.
I live in a remote area of the Scottish Highlands, and I felt the song had the kind of melancholy I'm used to hearing in traditional Scots and Irish airs. So I got together some guest musicians, and we taught them the song. Beth learned the song by ear and didn't actually hear the Audioslave version until after we'd finished recording!
