Throwback Thursday: Audioslave Make History in Cuba

Rob Slater on May 8, 2014

In 2005, the supergroup featuring the Chris Cornell-fronted incarnation of Rage Against the Machine (for legal purposes named Audioslave) made history as they became the first American rock band permitted to perform in the country. The result was a free show with over 70,000 people and a brief moment of unification between the two nations.
