Rage Against The Machine is Back...

[MikeyTheCat]

There has always been a push and pull between their message and the money/what it takes to reach people. They will talk openly about that conflict, especially Zach. It's also partly why they broke up in 2000.

Did he unburden himself from that bank account.

I saw them at Lollapalooza 2008. That was the most human energy I have ever felt at a show. We were probably 40 yards from the stage and were getting pushed around. They had to stop the show 3 times and plead the audience to move backwards, because people were getting crushed in front. Definitely a show I'll never forget.

 

[DADGAD]

Love the energy. Know your enemy is still one of my top driving tunes.

Whats a Communist doing wearing an MLB hat?

I guess he doesn’t realize that stats are racist.

 

[Dr. Arkam]

I loved them in high school when they came out. Got tired of the lyrics but I’m a huge fan of Tom Morello. He not just another Blues-Rock guitar player, which I love btw. He does different shit. Not for everyone.

 

[DADGAD]

I loved their riffs, lyrical style and full force
energy. But I don’t care for hearing views on the state of the world from
musicians and the Hollywood type. Just entertain me. That’s all i’m paying for.

Did they ever get around to writing a second vocal line or do they still just put the same one in every song?

 

[mtgguitar]

Are they touring to promote a christmas album?

 

[Zungle]

Honestly.....sounds interesting.

I may even pay a few $$ to see them at the right venue......

 

[Oldskoolrob]

I really liked some of their stuff back when I was naive. Great rockin' riffs and that anger - wow.

In later years I bought their album....and noticed they're owned by Sony.

If the matrix is real, it's run by Sony.

 

[DMartini]

like a few have said, i also liked them when i was in high school, but nowadays not so much.

but like was said before, Timmy C & Brad Wilk made a great rhythm section.

Rob, fun fact their song Wake Up is in Matrix movie

Yes, I'm a big fan of the movies and the concept! Probably used it because The Matrix already owned the rights, lolz.

Communists bitching about the system that made them rich.
Yawn

I’m their defense, I don’t think they were rich when they wrote their first album, which, IMO, is the only one that’s really worth a shit.

 

[Jewel the Sapphire]

Tom Morello is the most experimental lead player most of us will ever hear on electric guitar methinks. His riffs and solos with RATM are my preference but his work on Audioslave was more musical.

 

[Caoimhin]

I guess he doesn’t realize that stats are racist.

Racist stats? Sounds like a conspiracy theory. The Cubs are worth over 3 billion dollars.. I thought Communist hates 1%ers.

 

[Caoimhin]

Well it is 2019 so millionaires can identify as middle class Communists.

 

[ErictheRed]

The band, the music, the energy, the musicianship are awesome. I don't really care for the message a lot of the time, but I don't care about the "message" of a lot of bands that I listen to.

RatM just effing rocks.
