The Official Rage Against The Machine thread

I used to be a huge Rage fan, gave them up a long time ago though. I will say that Evil Empire is their second best album. Self-titled is of course the best and BOLA is third. Renegades is fourth by default since it is a covers album.

Anyway, I have seen Tom Morello live three times, twice even when I didn't like RATM any more (Still a Tom fan). Saw him twice as the Nightwatchman, and once on the Axis of Justice Tour this year. Got the setlist at one of his shows to. He always puts on a good show despite his folk music being awful.
 
ya know I never put Johnny Cash in the Country category... I like me some Cash from time to time. I just never got into the whiny, drawn out story type country.

To get back on topic, when it comes to Rage, what grabs me before anything else is the simplicity of their music... a grooving beat, a catchy riff and the production is awesome. Zack's vocals just topped it off and gave them a very unique sound, this is the part of a band that can't be contrived... either you sound different or you sound the same, and Rage sounded different.
 
yeh - Zack wanted to go off and do his own thing......*sob* they were my fav band....... i miss them so much!

wonder if they will ever do one of those reunion gigs??
 
I first heard rage against the machine when the tony hawk came out with guerrilla radio on it, everytime i played the game i would go to songs and get guerilla radio happening, after a while got sick of it and soon after that my bro started to by their albums and they went OFF!
****ing awesome live have just only bought B.O.L.A and am loving that at the moment. Audioslave sucks ass, chris has turned the RAGE boys into little scared pussy's.

Come back Zack!
 
hahahahahahaha ........... audioslave hahahahahahah! man i hate that band so much = i only liked their first song...... the rest is crap!
 
Audioslave > RATM

but they're both as boring as music can possibly get.

Edit: I'm like the only person ever who really honestly hates the way RATM sounded.
 
The whole political thing was one of their biggest attractions for people, the fact that their music was great was just an added bonus for some... I just love the music to be honest.
 
Well for one, you're continually arguing with a RATM fan on a thread for RATM fans. I think based on that, I can probably assume that you have some kinda problem.

You also cast the first stone by calling me an idiot.
