"Doesn't Remind Me" was the third single from Out of Exile, the second studio album by the rock supergroup Audioslave, in 2005, and it lets the band ease off the throttle without losing any muscle. Chris Cornell wrote the words, and he, Tim Commerford, Tom Morello and Brad Wilk built the music together and arranged it as a band. Rick Rubin is credited as producer and Brendan O'Brien mixed it.
It's hard rock with the clenched fist loosened: a sturdy, mid-tempo groove, big, clean riffs and a chorus that sounds like someone trying hard to forget. It earned a Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 48th Grammy Awards.
The award-winning video, directed by Chris Milk, tells its own story in a documentary style, following a young boxer from Philadelphia, played by six-year-old Vinny Intrieri, known in the ring as "Kid Vicious", who spends his free time training and playing with toy military planes.
