Rage Against The Machine

Why would you make your messages cryptic when your ultimate goal is to expose injustice and lies to the world? Zack said all his things outright, and that's what made them great. Do you really thing they would have been more than just another band if they hadn't been so consumed with their desire to expose the truth to the public?

i grew up with Rage, they're one of my fave bands ever. ive loved em as long as i can remember. Battle Of Los Angeles...albums dont get much better than that.

Audioslave and Soundgarden are both pretty average. bring back Rage.

yeah . i'd rather listen to Rage . then Audioslave or Sound Garden

I hate audioslave! rage was great

then the way i look at it they should have been politicions and not entertaners its a shame i liked their music just did not dig everything they said

that's fine. But there are many artists who incorporate politics into their music. and I love the majority of those bands.

Rage against the machine is soo awesome. Ive just discovered them so its sad once i finish listening ot all their albums there wont be any more coming out. I heard some audio slave stuff but it really SUCKS. Its no goos without zach.

HIs rhymes are like poetry and they send a message. thats the way si should be. I also like it because it kind of mixes Zachs rap style with some good rock instrumentals. So far ive got renegades and BOLA. I like em both.

I hope zach comes out with something solo. That would make my day.

you know what bugs me about rage against the machine
is tom merrello all day i hear people talking about how great his sound is and i must say as a guitarist i think he blows goats hes all pedal and other guitarist on here will prolly agree on that his sound depends on his digatech wammy pedal to much we have one of those pedals here and all it takes is a couple of weeks and just about anybody can figure out his solos

Yes, but when he was with Rage, he gave so much to that band. Now that he is in Audioslave, he can't do what he does best.

yup

damn right. if you ask me, Audioslave should never have been formed. once you've been in such a fu'kin amazing band like Rage, theres no way your gonna top it.

i always thought it was the quility of the music instead of the toughness of the music that made it good?

or is that just me 😛

In theory, combining Chris Cornell and the remaining members of Rage sounds like a great idea. But then, nobody can top Zack when it comes to political lyrics, and it upsets me that the remaining members of Rage just gave up on that. Audioslave isn't very good, and it's a shame.

true but tom gets talked about like hes one of the best guitar players outthere and the sad fact is hes not i meen dont you want more from your music then simplicity as much money as people pay for cds tshirts concerts and what not i think fans deserve more from their musicains then what ever they can slap together for the record company

bount back on the subject of RAGEGARDEN personaly i think they sound like a mid grade barband

Punk is simple power chords, but it's a great genre. Simplicity isn't necessarily a bad thing.

its not that rage music is simple. even tho he may not be the best of guitarist (i strongly Hendrix is the man). the music the band makes alone is fresh and new. they created their own sound and that isnt simple music. if you want simple music check out GC mest and all that other crap. but if you still think i am wrong then name me a few bands pre-rage that had that awesome power chord sound?

and when is it about the money? if i like a band i ill buy their cd, and the merch if i want it. if you think your getting ripped off buying a rage cd because it is too simple then dont ****ing buy it. if you dont appreciate the band then dont ****ing support them. but dont say that their music is simple and talentless, and that tom isnt a great musician. if tom wasnt around then we wouldnt have rage, and rage is a good band!

Agreed. Except I like old GC and all Mest.

i like rage against the machine i ahve all their cds
and tom is a crap giutarist he did not make rage what they were single handedly tim c is a great bassist and zack has agreat presntation and delevery with his lyrics

but dont say that their music is simple and talentless, and that tom isnt a great musician. if tom wasnt around then we wouldnt have rage, and rage is a good band!

i never said rage was not a good band i just dont like their guitarist i think he is overrated i meen i will give him one thing he can scratch a string and twist a valume nob better then anyone
but the fact is he sucks as a player overall the fact is his guitar lines are simple

i never said that tom makes the band, but i jsut stated that without his guitar they wouldnt of had that type of sound and impact.

im alittle confused how he can scratch a string and twist a nob better than anyone but still suck overall?

where is the credibility

simple donest mean you suck. how can you say a man who writes his own music and is/was enjoying it and selling records suck. if he is a overall sucky assed guitar player than why do people buy rage records?

i think your taking what the magizines say to heart.

and im curious as to how you know if he is a good guitar player or not? maybe he just writes what works for the song? not every song or band needs a huge guitar solo or hard riff to make the music good.

Rage agasint the amchnie a brillaint band..........

they were not only brilliantly musicly tight but they had an brilaint image, there was more about them than just music and thats what appeals to me bout em =D
