Get the Live at Grand... their last show. Not only a KICKASS concert..but a memory to remember forever..

Live at the GOA is the best. Mexico city is an awesome show but has crappy editing and effects over it. Self titled is good, but doesn't have as much material as the other 2.

I have all 3. I love them all. The self-titled is good because it gives you a break from just one gig. Shows you footage from everywhere.

Never thought I'd see this thread again.

Every time I hear Sleep Know In The Fire it inspires me so much to just pick up my bass and start rockin. :thumb:

When I first started playing bass RATM was all I ever played, I was such a huge fan of them at the time and they inspired me so much.

the first song i ever learnt on guitar was renegades of funk. I dont know where i would be without rage and their amazing musical abilities, such a great band, now lets take a moment to praise god (tom morello)

Indeed. If you seem him live then you'll realise that.

Just got back into rage yesterday, havn't listened to them in about half a year. I learnt Killing In The Name on guitar last night which was really fun, what other songs of theirs will be fun to learn?

Know Your Enemy/Take the Power Back.

The whole s/t album is fun to learn. First album I learned all by ear too. (On Bass)

yeah, freedom is pretty cool to play. My only problem is I can't get the solos to sound any good because I only have amp effects.

Yea, I don't have a mutli effects pedal which pretty much rules out all Tom's solos.

I've got a question. Does anybody have the Guerilla Radio single? I'd love to hear the live version of Without A Face. That's my favorite song by them.:thumb:

Hello ancient thread.

Uhm, go to [url]www.funkblast.com[/url]

That's Rage bootlegs with rare live songs. Can't remember if it had Without a Face though.

Doesnt work man. Must've gotten shut down

It's not shut down, just click it again, and get rid of the musicanforums.com in the adress.

Yeah the site works. The videos aren't loading though, but I'm pretty sure that's just my computer.

RATM are so damn good it's not funny. tom morello is a legend for what he did with his guitar. one of the best rock/metal bands ever

What are everyones favorite RATM songs?

For me I'll go with...

1. Wake Up
2. Killing In The Name
3. Bulls on Parade

I enjoy all their albums but Self titled and Battle of LA are the best for me.

1. Without A Face
2. Bulls On Parade
3. Freedom
4. Vietnow
5. Township Rebellion

EE's 10th anniversary this year :thumb:

/Renegades is my favorite Rage album.

1. Know Your Enemy
2. Guerilla Radio
3. Take the Power Back
4. Bombtrack
5. The Ghost of Tom Joad

Have anyone noticed that Morellos solos with Audioslave arent half as good as the ones he did with Rage? Back then he balanced effects with technical ability, now he seems to be content just wanking off a waa pedal

He still has good solos IMO.

Let's turn this into another list...

What's everyones top 5 Tom solos?

I'll type mine after a think.

Songs:

Killing In The Name
Calm Like A Bomb
Vietnow
Bullet In The Head
Darkness

Solos:

Darkness
Maria
Bulls On Parade
Bullet In The Head
Know Your Enemy

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]Songs:

Killing In The Name
Calm Like A Bomb
Vietnow
Bullet In The Head
Wind Below

Solos:

Maria
Bulls On Parade
Bullet In The Head
[B]Darkness[/B]
Know Your Enemy[/QUOTE]

Very good choice, but if you could choose solos from Rage and Audioslave... would the list be the same?

Top 5: No order.

Bulls On Parade.
Take the Power Back.
Darkness.
Guerilla Radio.
Township Rebellion.

Tom's Audioslave solos are good, but, as you can see from the list, the best Rage solos are Awesome! :p

Hmm.... probably.

Like A Stone [i]might[/i] be a possibility. Although it's been quite a while since I listened to Audioslave, and I can't quite remember :(

After another listen, I think Darkness deserves a promotion too.

[QUOTE=DuncMaster V2]Very good choice, but if you could choose solos from Rage and Audioslave... would the list be the same?[/QUOTE]

Most of the Audioslave stuff just isnt in the same clas IMO, but the solo in Out of Exile is a good un

That's the problem Tom has with Audioslave, what hasn't he done already with RATM?? ...as far as soloing goes anyway. If you listen to "Drown Me Slowly" from "Out Of Exile" the solo is a mixture of the "Bulls On Parade" scratching and a "Take the Power Back" shred.

He has a harder job because he's trying to combine effects more than he used to.

He also has a harder job trying to please us (the fans), because we're expecting these fcking amazin, extremely original solos. Whereas from you're everyday Metal guitarist, you really only expect shredding.

I think it is good when he does some more traditional solos every once in a while.

Even with RATM, you could see he used effects more and more as their career went on.

Yea, 90% of all the shred solos he's done in songs was on the Rage self titeld.

Yeah. Evil Empire had much more effects, and then BOLA he had loads.

On BOLA you can even see he is using them in the songs a lot more too.

BOLA > Evil Empire


Other then the first three songs on EE, I think it's a little weak.

Revolver is good too. But yeah, I like Battle of LA more than Evil Empire.

I'm sorry Julianne, but EE > BOLA x100

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]I'm sorry Julianne, but EE > BOLA x100[/QUOTE]No way, Jonono. BOLA > EE x infinity.. Yeah, I so win.

Don't go there girlfriend.

There is a live version of Without A Face on [I]Live & Rare[/I].

Every RATM fan should have that album. It's awesome.

My favorite live song from Rage is "**** The Police". It's always fun.
