I found this F.A.Q. about RATM to be quite interesting. Lots of wierd things I didn't know were in there. It is fairly lengthy, but worth the read.

[QUOTE]I wouldn't say Audioslave is Neo-Grunge.[/QUOTE]

I would.

RATM are one of my favourite bands, Zak De La Rocka is bloody awesome, one of my favourite singers. I love Tom Morellos extra long strings, very cool. What genre would ou say RATM was? I'd say Fusion/Alternative

Rap/rock.

[QUOTE]What genre would ou say RATM was?[/QUOTE]

Music.

funk fusion

it really sucked that they broke up, especially they did so just before the Big Day Out, i bought tickets just to see them!

That sucks! My condolences :upset:

At least you were into them when they were still making music. My friend just got me into them about three months ago.

yeah ive just been recently getting into them, especially cause im a bass player, i love playing their music

its awesome fun to play, i love playing Killing in The Name of's solo, sounds awesome witht he correct amount of Wah. I don't care to much for audioslave, but they are not a bad band, just not my thing.

i didnt mind audioslave's album, but i thought some of the tracks were pretty poor.

yeah agreed, theyre probably the funnest band to play if u r a bassist. the way the bass excentuates the guitar and drum line, fantastic. i just love playing the bombrack solo, especially on double bass, sounds fantastic.

It's hard to put RATM under a certain genre. I'd say rap/funk/rock. NOT fusion.

Yeah, I would agree with that

Political Hip Hop

On subject; Someone told me RATM were nu metal once. i got pretty annoyed. But.. are they? i still call it Hard Rock.

[QUOTE=michaelkilburn]to quote flea_otherside, "It's hard to put RATM under a certain genre"[/QUOTE]
If I was forced to classify them, I would say that they fall under the "awesome" genre.

Id probably call em Rap Metal tbo...

yeah they are rap metal, sadly... because that puts them in the same genre as limp bizkit and the likes...wow i can't believe this thread is still going O.o

There not really metal though...and limp biz would be something like rap nu-metal.

I think that most people will see them as different things and define genres differently.
Each to their own :)

What...that doesn't make any sence...there nothing like nu-metal they were just out at the same time...

[QUOTE=Med]they're also one of the fathers of nu-metal though, [B]even though they're not a nu-metal band[/B][/QUOTE]

He means that they're not nu-metal but they influenced nu-metal artists.

yeah that makes sense.



















[SIZE=1]they're rap metal :][/SIZE]

Rap/Hard Rock

rap metal

So, who here has heard roll right off Bulls On Parade? Possibly the simplest but best riff ever invented.

[QUOTE=Metal_Head_617]If I was forced to classify them, I would say that they fall under the "awesome" genre.[/QUOTE]

Very well put. RATM is a band that you can't really classifie, due to their varying styles. Sort of like Pink Floyd. We can put both of those bands under the "awesome" genre.

You meen Roll Right off of Evil Empire, and I'm sure we've all heard it.
