"Revelations" is the title track of Audioslave's third album, from 2006, and it turned out to be the last single the supergroup ever released. All four of them, Chris Cornell, Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk, share the music credit, Cornell wrote the words, and Brendan O'Brien produced.
It opens off-balance for a Morello song, on a dreamy, faintly flanged arpeggio, plays it twice, and then the main riff crashes in with the drums and bass behind it. The solo is Morello in full mad-scientist mode, toggle-switch stutters and one-handed tapping sending notes ricocheting off each other, before the Whammy pedal takes over for the finish. The video skips the theatrics entirely: just the band playing, split-screened, each man getting his few seconds on camera when his part kicks in.
