**Rage Against The Machine**
 

Well I looked around and there doesn't seem to be any discussion thread about ratm. They are easily one of my favorite bands, and I thought we could use this thread to talk about them.

I'll start off with a simple subject: favorite album?

For me it would have to be self titled, for sure.

Definately self-titled
They are one of my favorite bands too :D

a RATM thread pops up every so often.
Rae ar egreat, every album has it's highlights but for my favourite its very close between Evil Empire and s/t as both have so many great songs. The live DVD is great as well, but is lacking some of my favourite songs.

And please....no one bring up audioslave in here, all the comparisons have been done already!

I really didn't like evil empire...but that's just me

Haha, yeah I figured someone would mention audioslave eventually. It's best to leave that overdone conversation be :p

And idk I honestly never really like evil empire and renegades all that much. I prefer Battle of L.A. and Self Titled.

Battle of L.a had some great tracks, and some not great tracks. And since Renegades was a covers album I don't [I]really[/I] count it as Rage, If you get what I mean.
Anyway each to their own, I think the majority will go for s/t though

*raises hand*

Confirmed RATM fan here. I'd probably go with the self-titled too; there's just too many classic songs on there.

The songs on the self-titled are great, but I just don't like how it sounds. So I'd say my favorite is Battle of LA.

Self titled, every song is amazing, my fave
Battle of LA was good, altho some songs i didnt really care for
Evil Empire has Bulls on Parade..so its not too bad
Not heard alot from Renegades, but what ive heard i like

Their self titled is definitely in my tp 10 albums of all time. I love all their albums apart from Evil Empire which i haven't heard yet. I don't care too much for Audioslave though, their album didn't really impress me. What's Zach been up too since Rage split up?

He's gone solo lately he made a song for Farrenheit 9/11

he's done some solo stuff, he had a track up for download from his site at some point

He did a song with DJ Shadow called March of Death, which used to be up for download at [url]www.marchofdeath.com[/url], and may well still be. It's a great track, was half of my introduction to DJ Shadow.

Midnight was a great song from DJ Shadow

EDIT: forgot this was a ratm thread :p

ok thanks guys :thumb: i'll check it out. thanks bartender for that site i'll have a look now.

easily battle of l.a. but self titled was pretty bodacious to.....anyone think rage will ever get back together if hopefully audioslave breaks up.... and by break up i mean there singer leaves......a new rage cd would kick *** and theyd have plenty to write about being a political band in a time when politics are at its worst

Rage are totally done with, I can never see them getting back together

[QUOTE=lostandalone2]ok thanks guys :thumb: i'll check it out. thanks bartender for that site i'll have a look now.[/QUOTE]

No problem. It's just the one song, though, and it's not rock/metal (not totally, anyway, as you'd expect from DJ Shadow involvement).

[QUOTE=munky_magik]Rage are totally done with, I can never see them getting back together[/QUOTE]
you have to admit it would kick so much *** tho :thumb:

[QUOTE=munky_magik]Rage are totally done with, I can never see them getting back together[/QUOTE]
Yeah I don't think so either.

Why did Zach leave again? I heard that it was because he realized that he was preaching people to revolt, and yet he had an army of fans ready to do anything he wanted them to do, and that went against his morals.

Or something like that. Bartender? :p

**** him for leaving rage is one of the greatest bands ever i would do anything to get them back together!

bump

S-T is by far the best. If it only came with "Killin In tha Name Of" it would still be my favorite. I love that song.

I hate it when people call it Killing in the name [B]of[/B]. It's KILLING IN THE NAME :evil:

/short rant

you're right...that was very short :p

i think we should all put in some money so well have alot and then we pay the dudes from ratm to get back together....i can put in 5 dolla :thumb:

for some reason I don't any ammount of money will intice them into re-forming. I think It may be since they're all filthy rich

way to get my hopes down :(

well, it's kinder to do it now than later.

all of their albums are good... i go through periods where i like one more than the other... changes weekly. right now i'd have to say TBOLA, cause i was just learning some songs off of it on the bass.

[QUOTE=munky_magik]well, it's kinder to do it now than later.[/QUOTE]
**** u

Is there a greatest hits or compliation album out there for Rage?

There's the live at san francisco grand auditorium which has songs off their various albums, but is not really a compilation.

Other than that, I've never heard of any.

[QUOTE=Syph]Is there a greatest hits or compliation album out there for Rage?[/QUOTE]

they have a live album.

anyway, what do you guys think is the best Morello solo?

has anyone seen the battle for mexico city or whatever its called if so was it good?
