i think battle of La was good, but didnt compare to their first album at all. the self titled in my opinion is wicked and i like a fair few tracks off evil empire, bulls on parade being almost my favourite rage track. probably behind bullet in the head and fistful of steel.
 
Man that songs kicks so much ass...
I like all of their albums, they all have a very different feel so I can't really choose between them. That includes Renegades which is like, the best covers album ever? (or possibly the only one I've heard)
 
s/t and The Battle of Los Angeles are 2 wonderful albums but, Evil Empire and Renegades suck.
 
I was 1 row from the front at Rage this year at Reading Fest (I was dressed as batman for any of you watching youtube clips) I had to be pulled over the barriers during Guerrilla radio or else I was going to pass out from the heat in that costume. But it was a fantastic experience especially with QOTSA playing before them. The band were lead out in orange jumpsuits with black bags over their head as if they were inmates as Guantanamo (obviously a jab at US Foreign Policy) Zach made a speech about the war and how Blair and Bush should be tried for War crimes before playing Wake Up.

I'm just pissed I couldn't handle it until the end at the front, I'm also annoyed the band wouldn't allow their performance to be broadcast on TV.
 
I like them because they're loud and completely different to what i normally listen to. I regret never being able to see them live.

Fav Song: Freedom
 
I agree with their production being grade A. That's the first thing I really appreciated about Rage was how well produced they were.

"Sleep now in the fire" is an awesome song, I need to download it.. haven't heard it in a while.
 
audio slave sux screw audiolame
vs ratm the only band to do an mtv video at the stock exchange in protest. youve got some real bad taste
you have to respect rage but u dont have to be their biggest fan i like them alot tho so screw u if u dont
and audioslave is the most generic boring crap that was ever to come on the radio.. dude those riRAB are the same ones being played by jewel wtf rage to audio lamo?
whats tom thinking? He used to be up there with mark rizzo but now man wtf.. Btw I played a show with rizzo when he was on tour with his solo band, we ****ing ripped **** up I hung out with him for like half an hour and ranted at him about how cool he and max are.. hahaha
 
Ohhh I dunno about that!!

I liked Renegades, until I lost it. Bear in mind every song on it is a cover.

Evil empire has its songs. Admittedly it's not as good as S/t or Battle of LA, but those are two mazing albums, so it would be unfair to say that's it's crap because it's not as good as they are.

As for Audioslave, I wouldn't say they're better or worse than Rage; They're different. i like Soundgarden as well, and Audioslave is quite literally a mix of the two, and I like that mix.
 
I think it was Killing in the Name that got me wondering who the fuck Rage Against the Machine was. Then after hearing Down Rodeo like 20 times I finally figured out that RATM owns and I bought their self-titled and now I can say that I am a proud owner of their album.


Who is the guy that they would protest for a whole lot that is on death row?
