**Rage Against The Machine**

[Darkness]

Your opinion is your own, but your still acting like a moron. Just shut up and leave.

Your opinion is your own, but your still acting like a moron. Just shut up and leave.
Obviously my opinion of Audioslave is my own, but the fact is that there's a connection between the bands even though the music is entirely different. And I think you're the one who should be leaving with your idiotic 2/3 and 1/3 band member theory.

[Darkness]

I didn't make that up, some guy said that Zack was 2/5s the band, and I said if anything him and Tom are 2/3s.

[Zakath]

I know, ECream is stupid as well. Don't worry, you're not alone. :cool:

[Darkness]

:cool:

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

I was bored so I made my own best of CD for when I get my car:
1.Bulls on Parade
2.Mic Check
3.I'm Housin'
4.Testify
5.Year Of Tha Boomerang
6.How I Could Just Kill A Man
7.People Of The Sun
8.New Millenium Homes
9.Maggie's Farm
10.Killing In The Name
11.Know Your Enemy
12.Roll Right
13.Fistfull Of Steel
14.Take The Power Back
15.Wind Below
16.Township Rebellion
17.Freedom

I forgot No Shelter :upset:. Your thoughts or what you would change, would be good.

[Darkness]

Put Ashes in the fall on there.

[DuncMaster]

I made a best of CD too, that was hard. "Top 15". First song on CD was #15 and so on. Can't remember the songs, 'coz I got an iPod now so no need for CD's.

[ECream]

I know, ECream is stupid as well. Don't worry, you're not alone. :cool:

It's only my opinion that ZDLR was the most important, which is why I 'valued' him above the rest. Here's why.

I liked Rage with him. I hate Audioslave w/o him.

Therefore, Zack made the band for me.

Granted both play different styles of music. Zack is a rapper. Chris is a rocker. The music has to adhere to the voice, and the hardcore stuff Tom, Brad, and Timbob played with Rage, I think is the better music.

[ECream]

Are you completely stupid? I understand they have a completely different sound. Guess what? IT SUCKS. Rage was great and I wish they were still together making THE TYPE OF MUSIC THAT THEY MADE WHEN THEY WERE RATM YOU ****ING MORON.

Wow. Anger management?

[chubbs]

take the power back has a sweet bassline

[frmautumTOashes]

I haven't heard anything from Audioslave's new album "Out of Exile", not even the single. Can anyone fill me in, is it any good?

[ECream]

I haven't heard anything from Audioslave's new album "Out of Exile", not even the single. Can anyone fill me in, is it any good?

I liked their first album much more.

Be Yourself is the only track off of the new album that I somewhat enjoy.

The first one has like 5 songs that are really good.

There's a new Audioslave thread that popped up - may wanna check that out.

[thisgirl]

I need some help if any of you can assist me here. I've been thinking about a rage tattoo for a while and I'm just checking to see if I'm on the right page with the meanings of some lyrics. I have a few ones that I haven't decided on, if anyone can give me some insight on meanings.
From War Within A Breath :"Everything can change on a new years day."
Testify: "We found your weakness and it's right outside our door."
Snakecharmer : "Your friendship is a fog that dissapears when the wind redirects"
Revolver: "His spit is worth more than her work."

I'm just making sure I've got them right and what the true meanings are before i put this on my body.

THANKS!

[Darkness]

Everything can change on news years day: is referring to something with the zapatistas back on new years day 1994.

We found your weakness and its right outside your door: I'm not to sure about this one, possible about something how most Americans only care about whats going on around them and not about the rest of the world.

Your friendship is a fog: A snakecharmer controls a snake and the song is about you being controled and used by people who say they are your friends, but these people are lying and dont want to know you when something new comes along

His spit is worth more than her work: probably about how, in our society, men are sometimes seen as higher level beings then women, which we all know isn't true.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

Darkess of Greed - Are you from Edmonton?

[Darkness]

Correct.

My best of that I made about 3 years ago was probably more in the vein of their general greatest hits, not personal preference. The list is :
1.Killing In The Name
2.Bombtrack
3.Bullet in the Head
4.Wake Up
5.Know Your Enemy
6.People of the Sun
7.Bulls on Parade
8.Tire Me
9.Down Rodeo
10.Guerilla Radio

13.No Shelter
14.Renegades of Funk
15.How I Could Just Kill a Man
16.The Ghost of Tom Joad
17.Kick Out The Jams
18.Freedom

I now realise 'Kick Out The Jams' shouldn't have been included, but it's a fairly short track, and I couldn't replace it with the likes of 'Vietnow', 'Take The Power Back' or 'Born of a Broken Man', due to the time. That's a pretty solid compilation right there IMO.

I mixed the songs up so that they aren't in the CD order so they don't lose their 'feel.' Like I needed something explosive to start it so I went with Bulls. and needed something in the middle so I went with Maggie's Farm.

For a band like Audioslave seat tickets wouldnt matter as much to me because you dont get the same amount of energy as you would at a Rage show anyway. As long as I had a nice view of Morello.

[Darkness]

Morello has just as much energy as he did with rage dude, trust me.

[Endless Obsession]

Morello has just as much energy as he did with rage dude, trust me.

No, its not that. Its just Chris has no where near as much ability to get the crowd as alive as Zakk did. In all the DVD's I have seen of Rage, the whole crowd is jumping up and down the whole time. "Like a Stone" doesnt get me jumping.

[Darkness]

Agreed, Zack could get huge air during his performances, plus he had a reason to be angry unlike most other bands out there right now. I have a performance of Bombtrack where he jumps, but doesn't land it and twists his ankle.

[BeaZ]

No, its not that. Its just Chris has no where near as much ability to get the crowd as alive as Zakk did. In all the DVD's I have seen of Rage, the whole crowd is jumping up and down the whole time. "Like a Stone" doesnt get me jumping.
You gotta admit though it would be hard to jump to "Like A Stone" under any circumstances. Zack's vocals sounded bouncy and had a fast paced rhythm to them so jumping was just so easy.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

But you still got to put something into the preformances. I still think that Cornell should strap on a guitar and play some rythym guitar. I think that would be cool, even though they have two different styles.

[BeaZ]

Yeah, I would love for Cornell to play a bigger part in the song writing process, he is a good songwriter and he's not being used to his full potential in Audioslave.

Actally he plays guitar on I Am The Highway and that might explain why alot of people who seem to hate Audioslave like that song. :)

:lol: thats like half there songs right there. It's supposed to be limited to like 12-15 songs.

[frmautumTOashes]

I wanna hear Chris Cornell and Audioslave do some Rage covers. I know they do that plus Soundgarden songs, but I've never heard them.

[ECream]

It was awful.

[-Guitarded-]

Sounds bad. I don't think they should do covers. Zach is gone, they should just let it go.

[ride_the_bliksem]

I never heard the rage-cover, but imo Chris is a great singer and writer. Audioslave in general is pretty cool.

[I Am a Hat]

I have two concert videos where they do 'Sleep Now in the Fire' and 'Killing in the Name' in both. They sound so horrible with Chris singing. The soundgarden covers are really good though.

[RedMorningLight]

...So you don't like Mic Check? :upset:
never mind, I like mic check, in fact im gonna play it now :thumb:

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

I've heard original versions of Beautiful World and Maggie's Farm, and I prefer the RATM versions, because the feel suits the songs better, IMO.

[dylweed]

my favorite rage album would be the battle of LA, its a flawless rock album, although they have never put out one that disappointed me. one of my all time favorite bands, sad they seperated but hey then we'd have no audioslave right?

[Darkness]

I didn't mind Audioslaves rage covers... I think Cornell did the best to his ability. Considering how different his style is to Zacks, I think he did ok, and I hope they don't stop covering.

[Endless Obsession]

I heard "How I could just kill a man" on San Andreas. Its decent, but Rage's version is great.

I've jumped off so many ramps with that song blairing in that game :cool:

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

So... I did some reading on the members of the band. I'm surprised how old Tom really is. :amaze:

[Shaft!]

I was surprised at how old he was when he started playing guitar. I believe he was 17. He really did well for himself, didn't he? I heard he learned fairly fast as well.

[Darkness]

He practiced 8 hours a day while going to Harvard. Talk about a hard worker. And yeah, hes 41 since last May.

[DuncMaster]

He practiced 8 hours a day while going to Harvard. Talk about a hard worker. And yeah, hes 41 since last May.

8 hours of practicing guitar, and the rest of the day to study at Harvard...Fck me!

[CombatRock]

Im sure yall have seen the video for Sleep Now in the Fire. My question is, were they really getting arrested and like told to stop, or are those cops in it just actors?

[Shaft!]

Excellent question, I shall search for your answer...and it is yes. They actually did shut down Wall Street.
Moore was arrested, so I can only assume the band members were too. Excellent video.
Interesting fact: Morello's amp was picking up a Korean radio station at the end of the song and they had to fade it out.

[Janitor]

Another interesting fact: They were originally going to play that radio station throughout the background of the entire song.

I'm glad they changed their minds.

[Darkness]

Tom used a pedal to get those radio stations actually, he found some strange pedal at the studio and messed with it and got those signals.

[blue3]

I'm starting to listen to RATM more now. I got Audioslave tickets a few days ago.

[RockThe40oz!]

im a crazy or did i hear somewhere that they are putting on a new album...?

[Endless Obsession]

2000, actually. :p

[blue3]

Where did you hear that..?

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

im a crazy or did i hear somewhere that they are putting on a new album...?

Hey, there's a lot of RATM fans in here, so I wouldn't be joking about something like that.

[Bass_ment]

No chance at a new album: Tim Commerford said recently in Bass Guitar magazine that he does not miss Rage at all, and that the newest Audioslave album is the best one of his carreer.
Tom Morello recently also said in an interview for a special Kerrang article that there were personal tensions going ever since the Evil Empire recordings. And I doubt he would want to go through that again.

If Tim's not in, and Tom is apprehensive, then I can say quite honestly that we can all just face the truth that Rage Against the Machine will never play together again.

Rage is dead, long live Rage.

[dr._feelgood]

I could see them getting back together 20 years from now. Plenty of bands break up only to get back together years later.

[Six Foot Revolver]

I could see them getting back together 20 years from now. Plenty of bands break up only to get back together years later.
This is true but I think that out of all the bands that break up that Rage are the least likely to get back together. I am not quite sure why I think this but I really do doubt that they will reform.

[Iai]

I like pretty much every original better than the version on Renegades. That was a really disappointing record for me.

[?UnKnown?]

Great first post there.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

The September newbs aren't shaping up to good, and its only been four days :(

[Iai]

It always happens in September.

Kids go back to school, realise they have a lot of time to waste on the school computers, so sign up to forums. Happens every year.

[Shaft!]

It's happening in schools as well. I wore my R.A.T.M. shirt to school, and I was playing "Bombtrack" in jazz band during free time. This new kid, also a guitarist, looks at me and asks "You like R.A.T.M.?". I thought the answer was obvious, so I said "Who're they?".
I really should start working on my cover of "Bombtrack". I've finally fixed my mic.
I really haven't gotten enough of "Ashes in the Fall" yet. Very addicting song, that. I love the line about the priests in Appalacia. It's such a pleasant bitch-slap.

I heard that all his guitars were, as he calls them, "mongrels". His main guitar is a strat-styled body modelled after a Kramer with an extra wide performance neck. I think that's the one with 'Soul Power' written on it.

I know that, but for Clam like A Bomb he tunes the low E to an A so he uses this guitar with a very strange head and body shape. It's on both LATGOA and TBOMC.

[Janitor]

I think that's his cheap pawnshop guitar. I'm not sure exactly what make it is.

[Shaft!]

"Soul Power" IS a Strat.
"Arm the Homeless" is the guitar he used extensively in R.A.T.M. The one with hippoes all over it and such.
It was a very cheap pawn-shop guitar. I can't even make out the make from the headstock.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

So I downloaded some Inside Out, Zack's Hardcore band in which he played guitar, and its not to bad. I like it.

[Darkness]

He didn't play guitar in Inside Out, he just did vocals. A guy by the name of Vic played guitar.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

I read he did both.

[Darkness]

No, he played guitar in his band before Inside Out, called Hardstance.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Has anyone heard the supposed RATM & Snoop collaboration titled "Bounce?"

My friend had it on his computer, and there was no Zack, and the guitarwork sounded like a Morello ripoff. Any insight?

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

Look at this. I'm very interested.

http://www.all-pictures-photos.com/images/rage-against-the-machine/rage-against-the-machine-034-img.jpg

I like the name too. Thats my favorite song.

[Bass_ment]

^^^^

I have never heard of the song American Headlines, nor have I ever heard of Rage playing Wake Up live (has two distinct guitar parts playing simultaneously) so my first instinct is that this is a fake, but I dunno. Could be a rare bootleg.

[Darkness]

Wake up has been played live, I think a few times. Tom plays that litle tremelo picking riff then the wah muted strings thing during the verse while Tim plays the other stuff. It sound as good, but it still it has sbeen played live. Never heard of this American Headlines.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

Yeah, I check amazon.com and they didn't have it, so I gave up looking for it.

[Shaft!]

If it's authentic, it was released fairly early on in their career. I've never heard of..."American Headlines". Not on a single other live performance playlist I've read about. It might have been a poem or something. Possibly used to gain attention while still sort of unheard? Bootleg? Maybe it's time for some detective work.
There's a Rage Against the Machine "Greatest Hits" C.D. too, but that one would have to be unofficial. If it was official, you'd probably own it right about now.
I think it's a bootleg because I have a theory that "American Headlines" is a mistitled "Hadda Be Playin' On A Jukebox".

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

Well it was released in 1993 according to the picture, so it was pretty early for them, in their career.
Secondly, they have a best of?

[Darkness]

All this stuff in unofficial, and most likly made by fans.

[Shaft!]

It's very unofficial. I don't know if they'll ever have an actual "Best of", but the one I had seen floating around on the internet was either:
1. Highly unofficial idea for a greatest hits
2. Personal "best of" with a creative cover
I would love it if they released an official one with a huge booklet and a DVD.

[Darkness]

Nah, Rage ended with GOA, which was fine. A nice Live 'Best of' cd and DVD with good footage of 2 sweet concerts. Let Rage rest in peice. :p

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

I'd like to see a book about some of the lyrical content and a biography of the band. The book could be called "I'm Housin'," and it would include their re-mastered demo tape. :thumb: I would buy that regardless of the price. But its never going to happen. :upset:

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

I guess its just us three left.

[Shaft!]

Nah, Rage ended with GOA, which was fine. A nice Live 'Best of' cd and DVD with good footage of 2 sweet concerts. Let Rage rest in peice. :p
Ah...quite true... I think that any "greatest hits" you make would be close enough to what would be on an actual release anyway.
A remastered demo tape probably wouldn't be worth it. "Clear the Lane" wasn't that great of a song, "Mindset's a Threat" wasn't too great, and I'm not sure how "Autologic" is, but if it didn't make it to the s/t, I'm not sure it would be entirely worth it.
A biography of Rage would be awesome, and there's bound to be one somewhere. I'll be checking Barnes and Noble personally. I know there's a "Maximum Rage" around.

I guess its just us three left.

Maximum Rage is just a few crap interviews I believe. Revolution USA is crap also, stay away from them.

Anyway, there is a Rage book...It's got a green cover I think. I don't think it's an official one. But a book nonetheless.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

Which DVD, the movie or one of the seasons?

So... wanna go skip ro... go play hopsco... lie on the grass and watch the clouds?

Don't worry, I already did. :thumb:

Same here, DOG. :shrug:

[dr._feelgood]

Bumped for your pleasure.

[Darkness]

Thank you...

So... whats you guy's fav Rage song?

[dr._feelgood]

Mine would be Sleep Now In The Fire or Know Your Enemy.

[GenuineImitation]

Wake Up is my favorite.

[dr._feelgood]

Yeah I like the Kashmir-influenced intro.

[Darkness]

Me to.. Wake Up is rockin.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

Township Rebellion or Year Of Tha Boomerang.

[dr._feelgood]

Oh, I forgot Township Rebellion that song has my favorite solo courtesy of Tom Morello.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

Oh, I forgot Township Rebellion that song has my favorite solo courtesy of Tom Morello.
Thats good but man, what a mindblowing breakdown/bridge/interlude. Very powerful. Also Fistful Of Steel is really good to.

[dr._feelgood]

Yeah, the only part I don't like in Township Rebellion is "Why stand on a silent platform fight the war, **** the norm." It seems repetive after a while.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

Yeah, the only part I don't like in Township Rebellion is "Why stand on a silent platform fight the war, **** the norm." It seems repetive after a while.
Thats part of its powerfulness (if thats even a word). It awesome. :thumb:

[dr._feelgood]

Yeah it's cool the first few times. The best part vocally is the speed-rapping part.

[Thor]

Yeah it's cool the first few times. The best part vocally is the speed-rapping part.
Feh, the solo is easily the best part of that song. The rest of the song is just typical RATM, nothing special really happens.

[dr._feelgood]

Yeah, that's why I specified that the speed-rapping was the best part vocally. That solo totally owns though.

[Feign]

RATM was definately the most politically aware band. the thing that made ratm so popular was there own creative genre of funk rock music. did you know that maynard james keenan of tool sings the "i got no patience now" bit in know your enemy. and that tom morello was in a band with adam jones (the tool guitarist) in high school.

[Big J]

funk rock?? :confused:

Did ne 1 listen to them on the impossible music festival? they were gr8

Please, let's not start this. The thread has been going very well over the past few months and we don't need to foul it up with this nonsense.

[The_Outlaw_Torn]

Meh, rage are ok. They're not great. I like their self titled album, but the rest of their stuff pretty much sucks. Yeah, like someone said earlier, nothing really special happens. You've heard one rage song from an album, you've heard the whole album.

How can you say **** like that! Rage are one of my all time favourite bands and the reason that i listen to the music i do now. All their albums are good.

[Hep Kat]

true that...and i'm just saying for no real reason now that tom morello rules...

[+-scotty-+]

true that...and i'm just saying for no real reason now that tom morello rules...
I totally agree. Simple riffs but man do they kick ***. Tom Morello is a one of the only true guitarists left along with Zack Wylde, Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King. IF only Dimebag was still here. He knew how to rip!

I gotta say Tom is sick when it comes to guitar. When i first started listenin to ratm i thought that there was some crazy *** effects until i tried playin some of their songs. then i realized that he is just really really really creative :p :p

Most of his stuff isn't really difficult, it just is original and makes the band better than it would have been without him.

[KillTheEmo101]

Yea i didnt really mean it as being hard stuff but just really out of the norm and creative... guess thats stuff you come up with when you play like 12 hours a day :D :D

anyway favorite album is the self-titled album

Oh, of course. The self titled is the best album of the 90s probably. What's your favorite track off of it?

[KillTheEmo101]

Hmmm its sort of a tie between know your enemy and bombtrack. But im not sayin that the other songs are bad, come on who can hate killing in the name of and township rebellion :)

[Darkness]

Glad to see some new people posting this thread... normally its only like 3 people. Including myself.

[GiB]

Well I have all their cds but never really got into em. The only song I like is guerrilla radio but they never really kept me listening.

[A pig in a cage on antibiotics]

How could you have all of their albums and not like them, i mean if you bought an album and didn't like it then the chances of you buyin another album by that band are prety slim, but if you did buy another by that band and liked say one track why would you go and buy yet another of their albums? just curious thats all :thumb:

by the way im a big RATM fan, i never got to see them live though :upset: :upset: :upset: :upset: i......like audioslave, but their nothin compared to RATM. Does anyone think RATM will ever get back together for a couple more gigs some time in the future?? i can see it happenin sometime in the next 5 years, anyone else think this too???

Favorite Album: Self Titled and Evil Empire
Favorite Song:Know your Enemey. (the feeling I get when listening to it... wow)

RATM rocks. Favorite band, easily

[dr._feelgood]

Calm Like A Bomb is the best song to be listening to while you're walking down the street, anyone agree?

[Darkness]

I donno about that, but its a pretty damn good song. Bass intro +++

[dr._feelgood]

Ignites Ignites Ignites

[ween2424]

Calm Like A Bomb is the best song to be listening to while you're walking down the street, anyone agree?
Is that the song with the bass intro off the first album? If so, you are right.

My favorite Rage songs would be "Know Your Enemy" "Vietnow" or "Bombtrack"

[dr._feelgood]

No, It's off Battle Of LA.

[ween2424]

No, It's off Battle Of LA.
Do you know the song I'm talking about though? I think it would be a good street walkin' tune.

[Darkness]

You must be referring to Bullet In The Head.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Man, I really need to pick of Live at the Grand Olympic Auditorium already. Maybe it would reignite my love for RATM.

I'm listening to Evil Empire right now. I forgot how much it rocks. :cool:

[ween2424]

You must be referring to Bullet In The Head.
That would be it.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Calm Like A Bomb was always my favourite off BOLA.

Jake: I would probably rate the Grand Olympic Auditorium as their best DVD. Not only do you get the gig, but you also get the free show they did outside the republican convention (or something, I forget what it was called).

[DuncMaster]

Democratic National Convention. Good video aswell. I like the self-titled DVD alot, good video footage from different periods in the Rage era.

[wrathchild88]

personally, I prefer the the Battle of Mexico DVD the best, purely because it sounds much better than Live at the Grand Olympic Auditorium.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

^^^
I agree. There's just alot more emotion, IMO. I get the feeling a little more, also they play a little bit of 'Township Rebellion" at the end of Freedom :thumb:!

[Darkness]

Yeah I love when that song kicks in on Freedom... adds some spice to the song. Sounds sweet live to.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

I wish that they would have played the last chorus with all the harmonics as well, but they at least did part of the song so, I'm happy.

[DuncMaster]

[Thor]

I thought that the Grand Olympic performance of Freedom was the best because there weren't as many errors with equipment as there were in Mexico City.

[Darkness]

Not to mention it was the last time the song was played.

EVER.

Actually the last Rage song played live would be Know Your Enemy, because of the encore...

[Thor]

Well that's if you wan't to get technical about it. Didn't they also play People of the Sun in the encore as well?

[Darkness]

Yes, People then Enemy.

That concert was 5 days and 5 years ago today...

[dr._feelgood]

So what are the names of all the Live DVDs that Rage has released?

[Darkness]

Self Titled, Battle Of Mexico City, and Live at the Grand Olympic Auditorium.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

I thought that the Grand Olympic performance of Freedom was the best because there weren't as many errors with equipment as there were in Mexico City.
What errors? Is their problems, 'cause I didn't notice any?

[Darkness]

Isn't their like some messed up feedback problems? I only watched that dvd once... and that was March 19th.

[Hot Darn!]

So I have the chance to see audioslave in the near future.
I'm not the biggest fan of them, but I think it would be worth going because I am a huge RATM fan.
Do they do any RATM covers live?

[Darkness]

Yes, Bulls on Parade clip, Sleep Now In the Fire, and Killing in the Name. Go dude, go.

[DuncMaster]

I thought that the Grand Olympic performance of Freedom was the best because there weren't as many errors with equipment as there were in Mexico City.
I was meaning the entire set in general was better performed, I dunno, just had a better sound to it.

Sleep Now In the Fire, Killing in the Name, and Bulls on Parade (Instrumental), are common from what I hear.

At any rate, I think this thread really needs a better direction to head in besides the typical favourite album/song thing, so here are my suggestions:

1. Tell us who is your favourite member and why.
2. Tell us who you think could have been a suitable replacement for Zack.
3. Tell us what was your defining Rage moment.


for Me:

1. Tim Commerford because he has been probably my biggest inspiration to play bass. He is a powerhouse onstage, he's reserved but at the same time there is this fiery aura surrounding him, and every once in a while you'll just see him close his eyes lift his head and just relish the moment while a bit later he'll be bobbing his head and shouting like a mad man into the mic. Love how he can have his bass so high without looking like a lame-o too.

2. Chuck D of Public Enemy, no other rapper of his era has the same intensity and his interest in the political is as forceful of Zack. Public Enemy were an inspiration to Rage and it would be the most logical and probably best replacement for them. He still couldn't handle those screams though. (outro of Freedom and No Shelter for instance)

3. When I had the overpowering urge to watch LATGOA dvd on September 13th on year, without even thinking that it was the anniversary of the show. Now its my tradition.

Anyone else celebrate 6 days ago? or is it just me?

[KillTheEmo101]

1.) My favorite member of RATM is probaly Tom because the crazy a$$ stuff riffs he invented on guitar and some of the things that i remeber reading about (his view of racism and the political structure of america) a while back.

2.) Off the top of my head i cant really think of someone different that could take Zack's spot and still make rage fans satisfied IMO. Now that I think of it i think Zack's voice really attracted me to ratm and what they were all about.

3.) My defining rage moment was when my friend first introduced me to ratm and put on bulls on barade(he had this monstrous subwoofer that really got my blood flowing) and i got one of the biggest adrenaline rushes ive ever had.. good times :) :)

[ibanez_line6]

Rage has invented some of the greatest riffs. Take know your enemy and sleep now in the fire, they are classic, but i am not hearing too many good riffs from tom in audioslave.

[Darkness]

Audioslave has some sweet riffs man, check out Show Me How to Live's riff.

That's a good point, because it's only when Zack's not there that you really think to yourself that there's no better person suited to RATM.

As far as having a favourite member, it's got to be Tom - The reason I started playing the guitar. The most unique guitarist in the world. And it's weird, I had never been so intrested in Politics so much before RATM, and I'm always intrested to hear what Tom and the like have to say about world issues. I go to Axis Of Justice.org to hear. :cool:

[Thor]

i only have their latest cd
That's a shame because that's their weakest album. You have to get the other three, they are absolutely essential to your collection. You can find reviews for the first three albums here:

Self titled:

Evil Empire:
http://sputnikmusic.com/album.php?albumid=112

The Battle of Los Angeles:
http://sputnikmusic.com/album.php?albumid=379

Enjoy. If you can only get one then get the self titled. As far as I'm concerned that's the best album of the 90s.

[ibanez_line6]

nahi have only got the latest audioslave cd, and i have only got the first rage against the machine album, but my cousin let me borrow all the others. My fav song at the moment is renegades of funk

[Darkness]

I love watching his left foot thump during Know Your Enemy.

Hey Metal Head, 2 questions: How old are you, and did you have a different MX account name?

[Thor]

Hey Metal Head, 2 questions: How old are you, and did you have a different MX account name?
1. I am 15.
2. No, this is my only MX account name.

Why do you ask?

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

1. Tell us who is your favourite member and why.
2. Tell us who you think could have been a suitable replacement for Zack.
3. Tell us what was your defining Rage moment.


1) Tommy!!!! He is my bigest inpiration and everytime I listen I wonder what he was thinking when he wrote those amazing riffs.

2) I can't think of any. On sort of the same topic, someone commented here in the forums that Zack should replace Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit, and I thought that it was sort of a good idea, because Mr. Durst was just immitating Zack on their album. Their last album actually was good, minus the vocals of course. Flame away!

3) The time I heard Calm Like A Bomb for the fisrt time. Without hearing that song I probably would have never bought LATGOA. I heard Guerilla Radio many times, but I wasn't gonna buy it for one song. Also, I listened to CLAB and Guerilla radio like once or twice each, and thought man I can't believe I bought this. Then I saw the Bulls On Parade music video, and I fell in love with that album. I also started listening to them even more after I bought Renegades for $7, at the Radio Shack. :thumb:

[DuncMaster]

Back to RATM...

Is it just me, or does Tom Morello have one of the best stage presences ever?
Fck Yes! That's where the energy comes from. Up on the amps and then jumping off, makes the crowd go wild. When I saw Audioslave he was full of energy, just makes the show so much better. :thumb:

[ibanez_line6]

is there live dvd at mexico good?

[wrathchild88]

yea, in some ways i think its better than live at the grand olympic auditorium. I think that the sound quality is better, but unfortunately there isnt the extra concert and zach says loads of political stuff after every couple of songs.

Still good though.

[Thor]

is there live dvd at mexico good?
People say it's one of the best musical performances of all time, so I think it's safe to say that every RATM fan should buy it.

[ibanez_line6]

ok i might get it now

[dr._feelgood]

Yeah I was thinking of going out and buying a few live DVDS and I'll add this to my list.

[Janitor]

I just downloaded it a few days ago, it's pretty good. My only complaint would be Zack's annoying voice in the intro of Know Your Enemy.

[ibanez_line6]

where is zach now?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

No idea.

I wonder what is going on with his solo album?

[ibanez_line6]

solo album, sweet

[deathscreamingsheep]

Is it just me or does Tom Morello play guitar almost exclusively with his fingers? When I went to an audioslave gig earlier this year he didn't use a pick throughout the entire set.

[DuncMaster]

Is it just me or does Tom Morello play guitar almost exclusively with his fingers? When I went to an audioslave gig earlier this year he didn't use a pick throughout the entire set.
I saw a video of him playing a part of Know Your Enemy without touching the strings with his right hand, he was just fretting. That might have been on the Self titled DVD actually. Reading Festival '96 possibly.

In that video they play Bombtrack and Know Your Enemy and he uses a flanger on the chorus bits, which he doesn't use in later DVD's, anyone know why he stopped using it? I think it sounds better.

[Yppolitia]

Not a single album I dont like.

I love No Shelter and Renegades of Funk.

where is zach now?
Supposedly he's working with March of Death, but nothing has happened with that project in forever.

A local radio station of mine was talking about RATM getting back together sometime next year for a reunion tour, but I doubt it will ever happen.

[Darkness]

Supposedly he's working with March of Death, but nothing has happened with that project in forever.
March of Death was a song, which he did with D.J Shadow. He also released a song called "We Want It All" on Farenheight 9/11s soundtrack. Hes been working with a few different producers (something with Trent Reznor to) on his album, which was supposed to come out this year. :upset:

See Zack De La Rocha Network (http://zdlr.net) for more info.

Oh and he's playing a show with some Mexican acoustic band October 7th.

A local radio station of mine was talking about RATM getting back together sometime next year for a reunion tour, but I doubt it will ever happen.
Yeah, It won't happen for two reasons:
1) There's nothing about it on the Audioslave of RATM official websites.
2) Audioslave is alot more successful than RATM ever was, and I don't think their going to end Audioslave already.

[Darkness]

? Audioslave isn't more successful then RATM. Rage sold way more records, and are more known. I see in the next couple years that happening though, but as of now Rage is the bigger band.

2) Audioslave is alot more successful than RATM ever was, and I don't think their going to end Audioslave already.
Responding to 1, maybe they're trying to keep it a secret.

Responding to 2, RATM was really succesful, dude.

March of Death was a song, which he did with D.J Shadow. He also released a song called "We Want It All" on Farenheight 9/11s soundtrack. Hes been working with a few different producers (something with Trent Reznor to) on his album, which was supposed to come out this year. :upset:

See Zack De La Rocha Network (http://zdlr.net) for more info.

Oh and he's playing a show with some Mexican acoustic band October 7th.
Yeah, I heard that song on the radio about 6 months ago. Although, I was in work and there was alot of noise. :angry:

So did you hear it or did you not hear it?

Uhm, I did hear it. Just not that well. Anyway, don't think I liked it, kind of annoying.

1) Good point, but then why would they tell a radio station.
2) I know they were, and I like RATM way better, but Audioslave is more popular.

No, their not.

They are more mainstream though. They get played alot on the radio, and how many times have you actually heard a RATM song other than Guerilla Radio on the radio? I've heard the Ghost of Tom Joad once and thats it.

Well I looked around and there doesn't seem to be any discussion thread about ratm. They are easily one of my favorite bands, and I thought we could use this thread to talk about them.

I'll start off with a simple subject: favorite album?

For me it would have to be self titled, for sure.I don't really have one but I love them. Too bad they broke up :/

I've heard a lot of the singles on the radio. Like People of the Sun and Bulls on Parade. Audioslave is simply more radiofriendly.
