[QUOTE=Xai]Killin in the name of is my favourite RATM song. Does anyone like the new singer in RATM better in the album RAGE?[/QUOTE]

Eh, it was his second post...maybe he'll learn to explain himself next time.

Most of them never learn.

No it was his first post at the time.

Vietnow is such an awesome song lol "Turn on tha radio, nah **** it turn it off
Fear is your only god on the radio" top song:thumb: RATM's best albums IMO are Evil Empire and Battle Of LA.

ok............

this thread is going nowhere

look at my user name and ask me if i love rage...

on renegades, i loved tim's line on How i could just kill a man

definitly one of my favorite bassists

wake up is an anthem

[QUOTE=Rasta Rockerstat3]this thread is going nowhere[/QUOTE]
Well then give us something to talk about.

lol me and some mates have made a RATM clan, the Renegades Of Funk, we're the biggest rage fans.

I'd be down for something like that, but I'm a moderate leaning to the conservative side

Hmm that'd be kinda cool.

yeah its pretty good, if you guys were local u cud join:thumb:

[QUOTE=Med57]Well, Tom Morello and Adam Jones were in a band together, and Morello introduced Adam Jones and Danny Carey, so they've got that link...plus Maynard Keenan appears on [I]Know Your Enemy[/I], and they share the same left of field, authority challenging political beliefs, so yeah...in terms of attitude they're not only similar, but friends as well. :)[/QUOTE]

There's also that Revolution song, or has that been thrown out and shot down already in this thread? I haven't been reading it for a while.

I always thought it would be good to get a really conservative/Republican band playing the same style of politically infused music as RATM, or some punk band, like Crass or Conflict. Just for a cheap laugh on my part, more than anything else.

What could a right wing band sing about?

^^^^
pro-life, no gay marriage, no immigrants, superiority by social class, free trade, "supporting our troops"

I'm sure they could find something to sing about.

ok in an effort to move this thread forward everyone please post their favourite RATM lyrics and explain why you like them:

[QUOTE]"No Shelter"

The main attraction - distraction
got ya number than number than numb
Empty ya pockets son; they got you thinkin that
What ya need is what they sellin
Make you think that buyin is rebellin
From the theaters to malls on every shore
Tha thin line between entertainment and war
The frontline is everywhere, there be no shelter here
Speilberg the nightmare works so push it far
Amistad was a whip, the truth was feathered and tarred
Memory erased, burned and scarred
Trade in ya history for a VCR

Cinema, simulated life, ill drama
Fourth Reich culture - Americana
Chained to the dream they got ya searchin for
Tha thin line between entertainment and war

There be no shelter here
Tha frontline is everywhere

Hospitals not profit full
Yet market bulls got pockets full
To advertise some hip disguise
View tha world from American eyes
Tha poor adore keep fiendin for more
Tha thin line between entertainment and war
They fix the need, develop the taste
Buy their products or get laid to waste
Coca-Cola is back in the veins of Saigon
And Rambo too, he got a dope pair of Nikes on
And Godzilla pure mutha****in filler
To keep ya eyes off the real killer

Cinema, simulated life, ill drama
Fourth Reich culture - Americana
Chained to the dream they got ya searchin for
Tha thin line between entertainment and war

American eyes, American eyes....
View the world from American eyes
Bury the past, rob us blind
And leave nothin behind

Just stare
Relive the nightmare.[/QUOTE]

No Shelter, a song about the effects of propoganda, mass media, and advertisement on American culture. Zach shows his distaste for how war has been treated as a form of entertainment through high grossing movies and ratings fest News programs. The line about "the poor keep fiending for more" is about the primitive patriotism that seems to be invoked in the american lower class, especially those that make up the majority of the armed forces, every time a major military assault is taken by the government. Again this is my interpretation.
The imagery, rhymes, rythm, and forceful chanting of American eyes, makes this pure poetry to me, and one of my favourite lyrics from Rage.

Please post yours.

no he wont he's an idiot friend of mine who came on here because i'm on alot and decided he thought he'd be cool to post but just ignore him.

undisputedly: "the best band in the ****ing universe" - tom's mum.

Any good live RATM albums I should check out?

Also you get the extra's on it as well, It's a really good deal:)

Yeah, the setlist is really good on that. Add Take The Power Back and then it would be perfect for me.

Fantastic.
No C.D though?
/bearing in mind I have the first 3 rage albums :-\

You can buy the Live At The Grand Olympic Auditorium on cd as well, but I would go for the DVD.

[QUOTE=Janitor]Yeah, the setlist is really good on that. Add Take The Power Back and then it would be perfect for me.[/QUOTE]
Yeah I was gonna say that. :p

I'm listening to the debut now,
I never really realised how bloody awesome this is,
especially [I]Freedom[/I]

[QUOTE=munky_magik]You can buy the Live At The Grand Olympic Auditorium on cd as well, but I would go for the DVD.[/QUOTE]


I don't really enjoy that DVD, they've got some others that are a lot better produced.

Dude...that dvd is amazing...the production is awesome.

anyone got any other DVDs? first one? Battle of mexico city?

Battle of Mexico City was the other one I was talkin' about, as it is my favorite

yeah. Better than any of the others. But... The new one has some ultra cool extras.

I have a couple RATM lyrics that I appreciate. Here's a few

[QUOTE]The teacher stands in front of the class. The lesson plan he can't recall. The students eyes don't percieve the lies mounted on every ****ing wall[/QUOTE] -Take the Power Back

[QUOTE]If Ignorance is bliss, Then would someone knock the smile off my face[/QUOTE] -Settle for Nothing. That entire song has great lyrics, but that line is the one that stands out in my mind.

Post 500 :D
