In 1993 Rage Against The Machine played The Pinkpop Festival in The Netherlands. This was their first time to play a festival outside of the US. It was quite a jump for them having come from the club circuit in America. Now, ten years later, Tom Morello (guitar) and Brad Wilk (drums) are playing at Pinkpop again, now with their new band Audioslave (consisting of RATM members and ex-Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell). Toazted did an interview with them in the summer of 2003 about the new album and it's fantastic cover.

"We hired the same person who made the art work for Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side Of The Moon' and Led Zeppelin's 'Four'. We called him up and asked him if he was interested...that's actually him on the cover, his name is Storm and he's a very eccentric gentleman as you can imagine and he came up with this idea to have this three story tall metallic flame!"
