"Apesar de não concordar com tudo que Fidel Castro fez, existe uma razão simples para que ele seja visto como um vilão nos Estados Unidos e ainda permaneça como um grande herói no Terceiro Mundo. Ao desafiar o imperialismo Yankee por 50 anos, instituindo os melhores programas de saúde, de vacinação infantil e sistemas de ensino no Ocidente (passando Estados Unidos e Canadá)", afirmou o músico em sua conta oficial no Instagram.

"With what morality can the US leaders talk of human rights in a country where there are millionaires and beggars, where blacks face discrimination and great masses of Chicanos, Puerto Ricans and Latin Americans are deprecated, exploited and humiliated?"-Fidel. While I don't agree with all that Fidel Castro did there is ample reason why he is vilified in the US and yet remains a huge hero throughout the Third World. By defying Yankee imperialism for 50 years, instituting the best healthcare, child immunization and literacy systems in the Western Hemisphere (surpassing the US and Canada), exporting doctors to countries in need all over the globe (the Bush administration turned down his offer to send medical teams to New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina), and being an unrepentant advocate of the poor and exploited it is no surprise that millions will mourn his passing. Audioslave was the first US rock band to ever play in Cuba and that experience will be one I will always treasure, especially the trip we took to a former country club of the wealthy that had been turned into a free college for gifted musicians. #vivalarevolucion #RIPFidel
