[QUOTE=DuncMaster V2]His singing is really good. I have the Axis of Justice CD and it has some of his songs on it.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, those are great songs. "3 times I shot the shariff, and did not spare the deputy!"

Hey, can anyone send me the full song "Know Your Enemy", perhaps on YSI or via IM?

Get it off limewire or buy the CD it's a great album.
Tim Commerford is the reason I started playing bass he is'ent the most techincally gifted bassist but he sure can write a good groove and has a brilliant tone. I always wondered why he stopped using his stingray he got such a great tone with the first album using it. To be fair Tim's best bass work on any album he has worked on is evil empire.

Yeah same here, when I first started playing bass I basically learnt the whole RATM catalogue. His basslines are so cool and always suit the song.

I like learning RATM songs on bass. I really need to get one soon.

[QUOTE=Revolver]From what I've heard, Zack left because he didn't feel the band was taking enough political action as it should. I respect the man and his work, but that excuse seems oddly fishy. R.A.T.M. is why I love politics. I think they touched the minds and souls of many a teenager and young adult.
R.A.T.M. is one of those bands I listen to while doing my homework/playing a video game/working on the computer and I just wish they were back. I miss the funky riffs, the funky vocals, the kickass bass and guitar and drums...
My biology teacher loves Rage and the main thing he hates about Audioslave is how soft Cornell's voice is compared to the rest of the band. He hears the music, gets pumped, and then Cornell starts crooning and he loses it. He just can't get into it.
Give him the self-titled Rage debut, and he becomes quite possibly one of the most kickass teachers in the state.[/QUOTE]

I thought he left because he was going to jail. Ya know I don't think they ever toured 'Renegades'

This thread just won't die will it?

Zach never went to jail and Renegades was released after the band broke up although they were playing some of the songs on the last tour (How i could just Kill a Man, I'm Housin', Kick out the Jams,) and they were even playing Ghost of Tom Joad on the evil empire tour.

As for why Zach left the band, Tom said recently in Kerrang that the band fell apart during the constant touring and recording, they were increasing in popularity but the inter band connections suffered as a result. Basically, inter band conflict ended the band.

^ bah. I've spent all this time believing that Zack was in jail and when he got releases there would be a massive come back tour. Now my dreams have been shattered:upset:

[QUOTE=blue3]I like learning RATM songs on bass. I really need to get one soon.[/QUOTE]
As do I, I can play nearly all of them.

I know all of the first three albums, a few unreleased tracks, and about half of Renegades on bass. :)

I noticed on the audioslave in cuba DVD when they played the RATM songs, chris went off stage (and got changed), and they cut down the songs to just main riff/solos.

Is this because of legal issues and not wanting to pay zack royalties?

Most likely, but I've heard them play Killing in the Name before pretty close to the original.

Chris Cornell is incapable of being as cool as Zack though.

I remember during live 8, they had audioslave play Killing in the name (or bulls on parade, not sure) along with their own songs.


When chris cornell let a guy from the audience sing, the guy sounded more like zack then chris did.

Chris's voice is great in studio, but terrible live.

When I saw him, he was excellent. He seems to have his on and off days.

All of the live clips I've seen him do were sloppy and dull. He just didn't seem to put any emotion into his performances.

Cornell doesn't sound like he used to these days :(

[QUOTE=Dunkelheit509]When I saw him, he was excellent. He seems to have his on and off days.[/QUOTE]I thought he sounded awesome live too. But yeah, he doesn't sound as good as he used to.

I went to Audioslave concert in Indianapolis, it was ok, the crowd went Super-freaking wild when they played RATM songs, Rage beats Audioslave , they each have different kinds of music,Auidioslave is more rockish when Zach's lyrics are so magical, its so cool how he can come up with this stuff, genious. And how they use the present time issues and stuff in the lyrics, its really cool

Unearthed Live at the Olympic Grand Auditorium last night. Man I forgot how much they kick *** live, people of the sun and Killing in the Name are such great songs to thump out live. I'm still holding out for a RATM reuinion so I could maybe see them at least once live, but chances are slim :(

Well I'd thought I'd get the good 'ol thread going again. It's been a while, not only for this thread but for this whole board. I mean there is rep now.

So I'm really hoping they choose an awesome set list including the rarely played Wake Up. Mainly I'm just excited to see them back together.

Pages back (probably 2 years ago) I had said how my reason in life was to re-unite RAGE. Now I don't have to. I hope that they will do more shows, but make another album? I don't know at this point.

Anyway, great news and its great to see (if there will be any) new faces in here and to see the old crowd again.

I think if they put on a great live show like they use to be able too, and have lots of energy and their hearts are obviously in it again, then I think they should make a new album. If not, then they should probably steer away from the idea.

See this is what I'm talking about. Someone came back. Man remember spending so much time in this thread. This is great stuff. Hopefully they'll pull a Primus and realize that they should have never stopped.

I had to come back to this thread... I have the most posts in it. :)

Stupid question, but I only have 1 bad rep and 0 good rep...

If you catch my drift...

I bet they'll just do this one show and call it quits. Artists don't tend to regress like that. Rage is over.

There's no way I'll make it down to CA to see them but I'm looking forward to April just to see some bootleg video.

Rage will never make a new song.



I would be happy to be proved wrong though.

If they don't do anything after Coachella that'd be lame, but man I'm happier than ever to live in California because you know I'm SOOOOOO going to Coachella.

it'd be so sweet if they did make some new material though

I'd be over the moon if they decided to tour anywhere after Coachella

I can't see it happening.

Oh Em Gee yes.

I'm not trying to fall into the same trap as the Pink Floyd Live 8 reunion.

So RATM is going on tour now, although it's only 4 dates.:(

will any of them be in the uk ?

Nope.

Yeah the website doesn't work. Where are they playing?

And also, why are they OPENING for Wu-Tang Clan?

:mad: they should well come to the UK it would be sweeeeeeet

.......

Kay just realised it says in the news section. Even though it links to the RATM site that has no info on it...
