Your crazy, they havent been together since 2001. :thumb:

Where did you hear that..?

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

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.

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.

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

Just Anotha Bombtrack!

Great first post there.

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

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.

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.

After finding this website I used to just read other's posts, I signed up like 4 months later, so I guess in a way I've never really been a n00b. While at least since I started to post.

I made an acount when I first saw it, but I hardly posted tell about a half year after.

Exactly the same as me.

Same.

Does anybody know the type of guitar Tom uses for 'Calm Like A Bomb'? It looks pretty interesting.

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.

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

"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.

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

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

I read he did both.

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

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?

Look at this. I'm very interested.

I like the name too. Thats my favorite song.

^^^^

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.

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.

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

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".

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?

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

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.

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
