New RATM album in the works? 2008-04-10 by Alex101 | 21 Comments |
Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello chose not to comment when asked by MTV.com about rumors spreading lately that Rage is in the studio at the moment recording a new album. Morello was questioned during a shoot for "The Bright Lights of America", a new video from political punk act Anti-Flag. Morello plays a cranky sports coach in the video, which is taken from the title track of the Pittsburgh act's newly released eighth album. Morello called Anti-Flag "the best punk rock band of our era."
Rage reunited last year for a series of concerts and festival appearances that continues in 2008. But the group has not announced any official plans to record new music.
Morello is also heading up this spring's politically oriented Justice Tour, which will feature him performing as his political folk alter ego The Nightwatchman, along with special guests from bands like Tool and Incubus. The trek gets underway on April 15 in Los Angeles.
Morello says he's watching this year's presidential election closely, but told us he's not ready to commit himself to a candidate: "While Barack Obama and I share some eerie similarities, both having Kenyan fathers and white Midwestern mothers, and having attended Harvard and both being devastatingly handsome, it's kind of eerie. But I'm not a Democrat; the Democratic Party is about 10 miles to the right of my politics."
Meanwhile, Morello showed up on Monday night (April 7) at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California to jam with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band on Springsteen's "The Ghost of Tom Joad", which Rage Against The Machine covered on its 2000 collection of covers, Renegades.

I hope this is true
|
| |
I feel that a new album won't touch their old shit.
|
| |
I can't see them releasing a new album. Just can't see it.
|
| |
Can't wait to see them at Reading 08
The Ghost of Tom Joad is an awesome song as well
As for a new album, don't think so somehow.
|
| |
i hope they do it could be awesome
|
| |
I'm hoping. If for nothing else, I'd like to read what Zach's going to be rapping about.

I've said for years now that this group has yet to release their best album. As good as their albums are, they still have another classic or two in them.
|
| |
The opinions expressed in this interview make Morello seem like a moron tbqh.
LOL absurdity
|
| |
i hope RATM don't come out with another album. That would be horrible.
|

Morello called Anti-Flag "the best punk rock band of our era."
Why, Tom, why???
|
| |
If they release another album, it will probably be just as average and monotonous as their old albums, and praised by critics just as much as they were before. And they love money.
|
| |
I can't imagine what this would sound like, I would love to see them make a new album

Morello called Anti-Flag "the best punk rock band of our era."

This would be cool if its true.

It could be good.
"Morello called Anti-Flag "the best punk rock band of our era."
As cool as Tom Morello is, the man has made some questionable choices in the past.
|

"Tom Morello chose not to comment when asked by MTV.com about rumors spreading lately that Rage is in the studio at the moment recording a new album..."
So basically the news here is that there is no news?
Hope it happens, just the same.
|

if they do make a new album, it will probably be smarter and unbiased as before, but also not as bad-ass.
I think Rage is one of the only bands that could still make gold after a very long break in their career.
|
| |
it's been almost 10 years since rage made new material. if they come out with a new album, i wouldn't be surprised if it sucked.
