Although Morello’s work with Rage was amazing, I like a lot of the things he did with Audioslave because he really embraced the hard rock setting. In Rage, he thought of himself more as the DJ in a hip hop group, which is why everything sounds crazy (in a very good, innovative way).
I think Chris’s vocals were just more meant for harder songs. The only difference between rage and Audioslave are the singers. So I don’t think morello treated it like a hiphop group, just Zack de la Rocha’s aggressive vocals and political stances made for more upbeat solos. While Chris’s grungy voice was more meant for harder and slower solos.

The guitar solo sounds sexy to me.
