So I've been listening to a bit of Audioslave lately. Moments ago, while listening to "Cochise", I swear I heard the Tardis noise in there during the refrains, and even hidden in the deep background for most of the song.
You know the Tardis, don't you? "Doctor Who"? The wacky noise it makes when phasing into or out of a time/place? Yeah, it's in the song. You'd be surprised how often sounds or other references from the long-running "Doctor Who" series appears in our culture. And yes, that's a Dalek up there, staring you down. Don't F___ with the Daleks. In the most recent Who series, they countered a long running joke among Doctor Who fans - "To escape a Dalek, just go up some stairs." Well they had a big epic Dalek chase scene, the good Doctor ran up some stairs and looked back expectantly. Majestically, and with great suspense, the Dalek rose up and FLEW! Take that, mofo's. Scenes of mass Daleks flying, agile and graceful as birds, have been abundant recently.
So, who in Audioslave is a fan of The Doctor?

In answer to your closing question, not me! All the Doctors come across as way too smug and self-satisfied for my tastes. What's more, they're all a bit thick!
All The Best!
