Rage Against The Machine

[Juniper]

During a boring good friday I've been uploading some old albums on my iPod, came across an old E.P. of rage's called 'the Ghost Of Tom Joad'.

 

The live version of the Bob Dylan tune's fucking amazing, one of those songs I've been meaning to listen to for an age, but just haven't got round to. Makes me remember how good a live band they were (saw them at reading festival in the year 2000, their last UK performance)

 

I know they re-formed this year but what a band

 

Evil Empire's one of my all time favorite albums. Hope they can get together and make another CD.

 

How many other people wish they make another album??? one of the best live bands I've ever seen

[Stu Monty]

They are beacons of actually meaning something amongst a sea of meaning nothing, an absolutely brilliant band.

 

What better place that here?

What better time than now?

 

Not forgetting: Everything changed on New Years Day

 

Modern heroes.

[Juniper]

They had something to say in every song they did

 

for that I clap my hands to them

[Redder Lurtz]

Fucking outstanding bunch of noisemakers.

 

One, two, three another funky radical bombtrack started as a sketch in my notebook...

 

I remember the day Bruno Brooks put the full unedited version of "Killing in the Name of" and fucked off to the toilet. Nothing quite like "FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME.....MOTHERFUCKEEEEEEEER" drifting out of the car stereo on a summer sunday evening. Well funny. "Mummy, what's a motherfucker?"

[Juniper]

The best tune

Jnp was ere, right by the stage too

[Juniper]

The Torres bounce?

Turn that shit up.

Amazing band. Audioslave where never quite in the same league. I liked Audioslave, but I never found it as comfortable watching Cornell with Morrello and co as Zach De La Rocha.

The live version of the Bob Dylan tune's fucking amazing,

 

I don't want to sound like a sad anorak, but Ghost of Tom Joad was written by Bruce Springsteen.

 

RATM are amazing live. Saw them supported by Tool (!) at the Liverpool Royal Court in 94 (I think) amazing gig.

Also saw them at Manc Apollo the day after the Mancs beat us in the FA Cup final. Gig was still amazing.

'Killing in the Name Of' is one of the angriest songs ever. The ending will never be matched, 'Fuck you I won't do what you tell me'.

 

Utter magnificence and a personal favourite.

No it's alright, I was hammerd last night. Got me facts all wrong.

 

I did know that too, never drinking again

 

 

*raises glass*

[Chris]

Turn that shit up.

 

Bring that shit in!

[Vincent Vega]

They’re back! Get in!

 

[Juniper]

Oh fucking yes

[Paul]

One of the best live bands I’ve ever seen.

Hope they do a couple of UK shows.

The current political climate feels right for them to headline Glastonbury but I assume they’ll probably just doing Leeds & Reading.

 

Would be great for them to release some new stuff. Prophets Of Rage did some Ok stuff but it certainly missed De La Rocha’s delivery. 

 

Also assume My Chemical Romance will play Leeds & Reading, which is significantly less cool.

It’s got Glastonbury written all over it I reckon.
 

Prophets of Rage split up hours after the RATM reunion was announced so I think they’ll be lots more shows announced yet.

 

Fingers crosses there’s new material, sure the Trump administration will give them plenty to say.
