Review about Cochise Co-Cheese | Reviewer: luck | 4/17/09 History: Pronounced co-cheese. To give a little more perspective in addition to the rest of these posts, Cochise was Geronimo's chief. Cochise, in order to save what was left of his people, entered into a treaty with the US Govt 1871 http://americanhistory.about.com/library/timelines/bltimelinecochise.htm to be moved to the reservation in 1872. I don't think that Cochise wanted to surrender, but he probably realized that his way of life was over and that his people alive at that time would not see grandchildren (i.e. they would always be hunted). P. S. The US Govt screwed Cochise post death in 1876 by terminating the established reservation of 1872. I think one must discuss Geronimo with Cochise so here it is http://americanhistory.about.com/library/timelines/bltimelineusnative.htm . Geronimo surrendered 15 years after Cochise did. If there is one Apache that people know it is Geronimo. So to put it into perspective, Cochise seen as a great Apache leader by the Apache people and Cochise was certainly admired in the same way by Geronimo. So, think of Cochise in the context of as "one of the greatest Apache leaders" when listening to the song. Song: I think the song is about the self-destructive rampant alcoholism that occurs on the reservation. I think it is also about telling the Apache (and others for that matter) to take self-accountability and don't blame others for their problems. If Cochise were alive to speak today he might chastise those that have gone so far astray from living as he did "I've been drinking life" and not "while you've been nauseous" drinking booze on the rez. Cochise | Reviewer: Jake Jarrett | 11/8/08 Well.. In the song Show Me How to Live, he says "Nail in my hand, from my creator" Lots of Audioslaves lyrics are in reference to the Christian religion and their god, however that doesn't make their music Christian/Catholic music in anyway. Or the members of the band for that matter, their lyrics could very possibly all be metaphorical. Regardless, Audioslaves music is amazing, and the lyrics to their songs are deep and meaningful and to be interpreted however you wish. Besides in my opinion Christianity is completely irrelevant to this song as it was about an indian chief named Cochise. Not about religion. But I'll just agree to disagree with some of the previous posts, and leave it at that. reply to catholic | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/15/08 It obviously isn't inspired by jesus, when he speaks after writing song about the indian chief cochise... Or was cochise a catholic too? You twat! Amazing song, and I get where people are coming from with the 'helping addicts' part, that makes a lot of sense. reply to catholic | Reviewer: DokerZ | 6/15/08 It obviously isn't inspired by jesus, when he speaks after writing song about the indian chief cochise...

So not really sure that it's Christian/Catholic music. catholic? | Reviewer: dvan | 8/24/07 Actually I think the song was refering to jesus as in he died for your sins. I dont think the song was to be thought of as to have a negitive conentation but a positive one. the lead singer of a.s. was raised catholic. (also listen to the words in the song "doesnt remind me") it says I like hammer and nails and speaking in tounges... "Cochise" | Reviewer: sambini | 8/18/07 Chiricahua Apache Chief who led a revolt beginning in 1861, eventually winning the point that the US Gov't had to give them the promised Arizona lands, and not something else. Died of natural causes years later. In Arizona. Name translates "firewood". Audioslave's Tom Morello said the song was inspired by the Cochise. Pronounced Co-CHEECE. The song sounds like advice for families/friends of alcoholics/addicts: 'Stand back; do not help; addict has to come to the end of their addiction, and will not give it up until the pain of keeping the addiction is greater than the pain of giving it up." Great song. "Cochise" | Reviewer: sambini | 8/18/07 One of two most famous Chiricahua Apache chiefs; led uprising in 1861. Name means 'firewood'; Audioslave's Tom Morello claims the song was inspired by Cochise. Honestly, the song makes me think of the attitude encouraged for families of addicted people: "step back, and let the person 'fix' themself; do not help them; only the addict can change him/herself" it means... | Reviewer: rivariad | 8/18/07 "cochise was the last great american indian chief to die free and absolutely unconquered. when several members of his family were captured, tortured, and hung by the u.s. cavalry, cochise declared war on the entire southwest and went on an unholy rampage, a warpath to end all warpaths. he and his warriors drove out thousands of settlers. cochise the avenger, fearless and resolute, attacked everything in his path with an unbridled fury. this song kinda sounds like that." - tom morello of course its about cochise.. | Reviewer: Severino | 6/23/07 well, does anybody know what "cochise" means? how is it pronounced? its not in the dictionary..
