Any fans? A friend told me about them and I went out and picked up "The Battle of Los Angeles" the next day. Loved it. I started reading about them and then bought "Evil Empire" and their self titled album too. Their ST is probably one of my favorite CDs ever.
Tom is such a great guitar player and Zack's voice is equally good. Such an amazing band. It's just a shame that I got into them about a year after they split up. I'm not a fan of Audioslave, just because it is basically a watered down version of RATM and that is just no fun.
Anyways, what do you think of them?

They are an amazing band and i'm sad they broke up. The battle of Los Angeles is a fine album, but i prefer their debut over it. Fav song is there cover of Ghost of Tom Joad off the Renegades album.
Evil Empire is quite simply one of the worst albums I've ever listened to. That said, their self-titled album is an absolute classic and one of the best. The Battle of Los Angeles is also good and probably the best they could do - there was no way they could match the brilliance of their self-titled album. Renegades was different, I liked it for that. Its the sort of thing I wouldn't listen to if anyone else had done it. As BarnDoor said, The Ghost of Tom Joad is clearly the best song on there (and obviously one of their best). Maggie's Farm is good too.
I've also got some rare songs they did, such as No Shelter and the brilliant You Can't Kill The Revolution with Tool.
I'm not sure about favourite...probably The Ghost of Tom Joad more often than not.
The selftitled album is brilliant, and Los Angeles was quite decent. I am also quite fond of Audioslave, their album is quality although it doesnt quite match Rage Against The Machine.
Favourites are Bomb Track,Killing in The Name,Township Rebellion and Bullet In The Head.

oh we got a rage virgin...
I was hooked on rage since 1999 when i realised my political stance/baises were on the left...and Rage was the thing to nurture that angst
fave songs:
Bulls On Parade
Killing In the Name of
Sleep Now IN the Fire
Been a fan for a while. Got their first album when it came out then stopped listening to them for a while. Started listening to them again when i was 18 or 19 and bought the rest of their albums.
Quality band. Tom Morello is one of my favourite guitarists. He's got a very original sound and Zack's vocals are class.
Great band, I've listened to them far too little. Tom is a great guitar player, he is a rare player with his originality.
I don't really like Audioslave, they're just like Rage and Soundgarden put together, but really they are pretty lame.

take the power back is my favourite. Has one of the best bass riffs i've heard
I've only heard that one that goes like 'Fuck you I won't do what you tell me' and I like it, but those who want to can feel free to send me some more songs on msn... :tongue:
thats killing in the name

Oh, I forgot to list a few of my favorite songs....

Bulls On Parade

Has anyone heard any more news on Zack's solo album? I've been hearing about it for ages, but I haven't seen anything.
Good to see a few fans on the site. :)
I only actually know Wake Up and Killing In The Name Of, but I really like them both.

RATM were a great band, 2 great albums, shame Evil Empire was shite.
Highway Penguin
12-02-2006, 18:47
I don't think it was shite. It had some good songs on it, but it obviously wasn't the best of the 4 they've released.
Anyone have any of the DVDS?
Original?
13-02-2006, 15:10
Rage Against the Machine are good, but how people prefer them to Audioslave is beyond me. Audioslave are like Rage, except they have a decent vocalist, Zack couldn't be more of a fucking communist if he tried and neither can he sing.
Zack couldn't sing, but I didn't mind what he did. I don't like Audioslave. Same riffs that others have used hundreds of times. I don't know, maybe I expected something as good as RATM.

I can't believe that no-one has said Wake Up is a good song! Thats probably one of there best and well known songs. The Self-titled album was near perfection and subsequently couldn't top it. An interesting fact for you...Tom Morello was actually educated at Harvard and is the Grandson or Nephew to the Prime Minister of an African country. Can't remeber which one.

In my humble opinion The Battle of LA was the best album followed by the first one. Guerrilla Radio is THE classic track. Wasn't Zak off in some South American country joining the revolution? Offering his services as a mercenary.
Probably Mexico (not South American, I know)
DARK JAK
13-02-2006, 23:14
Yeah there decent.
Sleep Now In The Fire is amazing and of course...Guerilla Radio.
You got any of the DVD's yourself HP?
Zack is a quality vocalist. He might be a great singer in the concventional sense like Chris Cornell who signs more like Classic Rock. Zack's vocals are really powerful and sound excellent IMHO.
Its rather screaming and venting his frustration than singing, not a particular fan of Zak's vocals. The guitar and drums(or woteva) make it worth listening.

im a huge fan of ratm... the first albums tha best ... u just cant beat
killing in tha name.. freedom..take tha power back.. bombtrack...
bullet in ya head (now that i mention it) there r no bad songs on tha whole album....
zacks lyrics r deep... morellos guitar playin style is inspirational..

zacks lyrics are not deep theyre very blatant..militant if you must.
Morello is hands down best guitarist in the scene....

Nope, I haven't. I'm hoping to pick up their "Battle of Mexico City" or "Live at Grand Olympic Auditorium". Not sure which to pick, probably the latter of the two as it is a more recent recording.
Oh and I think Zack has admitted that he doesn't have good vocals, that's why he 'raps' or whatever you want to call it. I enjoy it.
Has anyone picked up Tom's cds? I've heard they are quite good.
Yeh theyre fucking amazing, own the entire Cd and DVD collection including live and rare! Seen 3/4 of them live in Audioslave, but not the same without Zach. Self titled and evil empire are the best albums although they are all good.
Guerilla Radio is a great song, but in my opinion it's not a favourite song of a typical Rage fan, just the most well known.

Kenya.
Sorry for double post, just I honestly know so much about RATM its just untrue.
P.S Evil Empire is a fucking class album, the guitar work is insane, check out Down Rodeo for example. Not to mention the more well known tracks such as Bulls on Parade and People of the sun.
Highway Penguin
17-02-2006, 03:22
Really? Which DvD do you recommend?
Hmmmm well for me their all good, the Live at Grand Olympic is probs the best, its all live, the self titled one is very good and 11 live tracks and 6 uncencored videos. Battle Of Mexico City is good but I would opt for either of the other two first.Yeh the new one is definately the best...Its got 2 live gigs plus a few videos.
Highway Penguin
24-02-2006, 21:41
Very cool, thanks bro. :)
I love Zach. He may not have a great voice but his awesome lyrics plus the rage and fury that he spits them with are unrivaled.
My friend is meeting up with him soon and they might record something together. I will get to meet him if i make it to London in a couple of weeks. I can't wait to chill with this guy and have a phat ass doobie while we plan and discuss methods to topple the tyrannical western empires that have their people brainwashed and fooled into willing submission. :happy:
I always thought that he should link up with Immortal Technique and produce something with him. Immortal is more or less on the same tip.

Guerilla Radio is the only song of theirs I like. The rest, IMO, are shit.

To be frank I don't find the lyrics amazing. They're very simple.

From I've heard other songs besides their well known stuff, and to be honest, it was very average.

I'm Housin' takes the biscuit although plenty of the tracks on Renegades are quality, especially if you haven't listened to it in so long.
Digging up an old thread here but Rage are incredible. Their performance at Reading last year was the greatest I have ever seen from anyone.
Played the first song ('Bombtrack') in Guantamano Bay gear:
http://heavysoundsandtheabstracttruth .files.wordpress.com/2008/12/rage276.jpg
Great setlist too:
'Bombtrack'
'Testify'
'Bulls On Parade'
'People Of The Sun'
'Know Your Enemy'
'Bullet In Your Head'
'Born Of A Broken Man'
'Guerrilla Radio'
'Ashes In The Fall'
'Calm Like A Bomb'
'Sleep Now'
'Wake Up'
'Freedom'
'Killing In The Name'
So who else is into Rage?
I used to be. Some songs are still great to listen to and their first album was clearly their best. Evil Empire is amongst the worst albums I've ever had the displeasure of listening to.
I like to think i'm into them.
Truth is I only like two or three of their songs, and know fuck all about them :lol:

A FaceBook group has been set up by a pair of enterprising Rage Against The Machine fans to try and prevent the winner of this year’s X Factor from going to Number One at Christmas.
“Fed up of Simon Cowell's latest karaoke act being Christmas Number One? Me too! So who's up for a mass-purchase of the track Killing In The Name from December 13 as a protest to the X-Factor monotony?,” reads a post by the group’s admins Tracy and Jon on the Rage Against The Machine For Christmas No.1 group’s homepage.
“Even if you have the track already - let's face it most of us do - just buy it again before Christmas,” the post continues.
This year’s Christmas Number One will be revealed on Sunday December 20, so the group are urging people to purchase Killing In The Name – made famous by it’s Fuck you I won’t do what you tell me refrain – digitally through iTunes or We7 between 00:01AM on Sunday, December 13 and 11:59PM on Saturday December 19. And with close to 60,000 members of the group already, they might just have a shot!
Sign up for the group and lend your support: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2228594104&ref=nf#/group.php?v=wall&gid=2228594104
This HAS to happen!! I am buying it 3 times next week. Thought I'd forward it to you guys.
How much does the average Christmas number 1 actually sell?
I have a couple of spare quid on my iTunes account, as long as there's a slight chance of it winning, I'll buy it a few times.

suppose it varies, I think between 200k and 1m! If everyone in that FB group buys it at least once, I think it'll work...

Yep, read the FB group though, the point has been raised and dismantled countless times. This isn't about money, it's about being screwed over by X Factor every year and the fact that it's almost certain that they get a Christmas number 1.
It's at 14 on iTunes top 100 at the moment!

I noticed it was numbers 1 and 5 on the play.com charts this morning as well as 2 and 3 on amazon. Do the 2 versions of the song count as 1 in the overall sales or are they counted as separate songs?

I think both the explicit and clean versions count. They combine them both. I've already purchased the live version (as I didn't have it anyway) and that counts as well. Probably get another copy or 2 during the week.
RATM are on Sony who own SYCO records so your helping Simon Cowell anyway. If people want to do this for the Christmas spirit download a song newly released for Christmas and not a band that are Anti establishment but are signed to a major so basically are with the Establishment.
On a positive note, They are decent and ideal for Beginners who want into Politcal 'extreme' music.
The Facebook group got deleted. The physical CD of that X Factor shite goes on sale tomorrow and that is when the scales are expected to tip heavily in favour of the pop shite.
I bought it :ninja:
It was the only rock song I listened to on Radio X.

I'd much rather see Slade or the Pogues number 1 but there's fuck all chance of that happening so this is the next best thing. I'd much rather see any original song number 1 than yet another ballad style cover.
I've bought 2 copies but I'm starting to not see the point anymore. The facebook group has been taken down for the last 3 days and now presumably deleted, a day before the X-Factor single comes out on CD. It wouldn't surprise me if there's a fix for it to be number 1.
Well could it be possible Some record company managed to get the group deleted?
Bishop, The Pogues 'Fairytale of New York' was in the charts last week so why couldn't people forsee that song would sell better than a RATM song? No they were fucking retarded thinking Anti popularity/Establishment pish and be smart about it, yet never researched RATM being on a major label, even better being on Sony. It reeks of silly as fuck typical Facebook groups, fucking useless cunts.
Also Pogues were never Number 1 with that song, so maybe a Facebook group for that would have worked better.
I don't think the Pogues thing would have worked - this was all about an anti-song. It had to be an anti-song to get so many people on board and what with the expletives in the song, it helped in this situation.
By Thursday I believe we'll have been trounced. I've not bought it yet, I'll have a good enough indication by then as to whether I need bother or not.

Do it! £1 at the very most!?
I'll buy it, mainly because it gives me an excuse to buy a good song that I don't have lol.
But also not to see and hear X-Factor at number one again. Its also a shite song, so I dont' want to hear it anyway, but if its number one, we'll be hearing it a lot more.

It's a very very dull song, goes nowhere and actually his voice doesn't sound that good on it. Also the song was originally released earlier this year and didn't do that well so why should it now? It proves that the song itself is not very good.
The fact that its a Miley Cyrus song says it all really.
I've listened to Cyrus' version, and actually prefer it to Joe's. What pisses me off is that it reached number 11 in the UK charts. If people actually loved the song they would've bought it back then. The morons buying Joe's obviously don't give a shit about the actual song.
True say Bishop. X-factor drones :D
To be fair most of the old women that will be buying Joe's version, have probably never heard of Miley Cyrus anyway.

NEWS FLASH: RAGE ANNOUNCE THEY WILL PLAY MASSIVE FREE VICTORY GIG IN UK IF "KILLING IN THE NAME" IS NUMBER ONE XMAS SINGLE!!! Let's go!!!!
Buy your copies people!
Typically, the single has sold about 400,000 copies yet the Facebook group had over 800,000 members. This sort of behaviour pisses me off - its only 29p! I've bought one so far (not sure the second one went through properly) and will probably buy two more today - I'm hardly going to miss the odd pound here and there.
I see a wonderful career in B-musicals for Joe.
Can you imagine the grandmas hearing this over Christmas lunch?
If that was the measuring stick for all music.....
I've bought 3 copies. And donated to Shelter. More than £50,000 has been raised by the Rage campaign so far.
Simon Cowell wouldn't like it. They wouldn't get through to boot camp on The X Factor
I bet they'd be devastated to hear that. You have no worthy opinion Joe. You're Cowell's bitch until he tosses you out on the street, probably sometime next year.
Too many people on facebook just join groups for the sake of it. We could've won this easily if enough people were committed.
I'm sure you can't buy more than two copies from the same online shop or it doesn't register.
And i'm not sure that 29p digital downloads get counted in the chart but i'm not 100% on that.
Also i've not joined the group and bought the single

Just for anyone who hasn't bought yet...
Then, just a jaunt away, the chorus is a thrilling sleigh ride, glistening and sparkling our way across a winter scene, punctuated by crystal beads of snow prickling the skin, filling us with joy and reminding us of the true nature of Christmas once again...love.
This slightly up-tempo but heart-felt song is truly a breath of fresh air. In a society where Christmas seems to have lost some of its meaning this festive song takes us back (or forwards maybe) to a simpler time when what really counted was 'togetherness' and 'virtue', and of 'altruism' and 'honesty'.

Well, not many people remember who claimed those victories off-hand down the years. And if they remember it this time, it'll only be because Rage Against The Machine smacked him into next week and "allowed" him to have that hollow victory as we didn't care any longer.
I love how wound up people are getting over this. Apparently RATM "are for greasy goths!"
I love you, internet.

Greasy goths... oh whoever said that is hillarious, they never been for goths, they been for grunge rebels etc they were an easy first rebellion band to get into, plus what they all seem to neglect is that they actually wrote their song, what did Joe do?? oh yeah covered a Miley "Hannah Montana" Cyrus song, wtf, if people had liked the song in the 1st place they would have got her version making her number 1 at the time but no, just cos he was on their favourite shit reality show he does better stealing her song.

Someone asked if my brother was an emo because he was wearing an Iron Maiden t-shirt. Ignorant fools.

Someone asked me if black was my favourite colour because I was listening to 'Waterfalls' by Stone Roses.
I can beat that. Couple years ago my cousin thought that Coldplay was goth music.

Registered, hope I can get a ticket!
Just registered.
I'm excited :nath:
Got my unique code just got to wait till next Wednesday!
So wait, if you want to claim 2 tickets, you need the other person's details as well?

Yeah, they need to be registered and you need to have their registration number and postcode to hand on the off chance that you get tickets.
I think I read somewhere that the capacity of Finsbury Park is 40,000 and around 400,000 people have applied. Sigh. My plan of action is to persuade/bribe all of my friends to have me down as their second ticket, which cuts the odds of me getting in by 5.

Really? that's stupid.
Why is that stupid? It's a scheme designed to stop people selling tickets to a free gig, hence the face on the ticket idea.
If you didn't have the other person's details, how would they put a face on the ticket?
I've been trying for the past 5 minutes, I'm still in the 'queue' ):
My mate was trying to get through on the registration link. No he's not a computer genius who thought he could hack the system, he's just a bit of a plonker.
I got mine before it was even 9 AM!
My friend managed to get me and him tickets!
