Bassist Tim Commerford confessed that at first he thought "Like a Stone" was a romantic song and only understood the real meaning when Cornell explained it! It was the second single from Audioslave's debut album and became the band's biggest hit: #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock and Modern Rock charts, #31 on the Hot 100 and is, to date, the most streamed track of Chris Cornell's entire career (over 1 billion plays on Spotify).
Cliff had already written this riff for "For Whom the Bell Tolls" years before joining Metallica! The initial bell sound was made by Lars Ulrich hitting an anvil he had in the studio. https://t.co/JQa5JlvVmS

Eddie Vedder wrote "Black" inspired by a love that ended in a traumatic way. The song barely made it onto the Ten album because the label found it "too depressing," but it became one of Pearl Jam's most beloved songs. https://t.co/XzoO4m6oXU
