They haven't been a band I've brought along with me from my early teenhood. Now they sound a bit like RHCP with a Digitech and a copy of Marx for Beginners.
Crap WF Zack de la Rocha seems like a good egg.
That bassist though. Woof. Won't be shocked if he comes out as pilled one day.
Re: Rage Against the Machine
22I remember hearing about an interview they did early on in which they expressed their support for The Shining Path. Maybe their hearts were in the right places, buuuuut . . .

Re: Rage Against the Machine
24I just checked to see if I remembered it correctly, but Shining Path predates Fujimori and was definitely already a terrorist organization. They were roughly as “Marxist” as Enver Hoxha.Gramsci wrote: Mon Sep 09, 2024 12:12 pmTo be fair… the other guy was Fujimori…Wood Goblin wrote: Mon Sep 09, 2024 10:38 am I remember hearing about an interview they did early on in which they expressed their support for The Shining Path.

25Yeah, not quite Pol Pot but definitely assholes. But LatAm in general has been a nightmare of rapacious US installed dictatorships and violent guerrilla groups to counter…Wood Goblin wrote: Mon Sep 09, 2024 12:24 pmI just checked to see if I remembered it correctly, but Shining Path predates Fujimori and was definitely already a terrorist organization.

Re: Rage Against the Machine
26Agree with all of this. Battle of LA is weak, although I always enjoy the riff on Calm Like A Bomb when it comes in.M.H wrote: Sun Sep 08, 2024 5:59 am Excellent, powerful rock band. Evil Empire is the one where they knock it out of the park IMO; but the debut and covers record are also very strong. That version of 'Microphone Fiend' is a real showcase for what they can do; generating a lot from very little (see also: Chaos A.D by Sepultura).
They were running out of steam by Battle of L.A. Morello got either too ornate or too reductive w/ stock telecaster rock twang riffs. Most of the songs begin to not work (despite valiant efforts from the top tier rhythm section). Smart to stop there. Audioslave continues on the trajectory of mixing more "classic" and "tasteful" Rolling Stone approved rock into the mix and is even more misaligned as a result.
Asinine politics, but if that was what motivated those vocals and that energy, I can tolerate it.
Not crap.
I do also enjoy Cochise by Audioslave (terrible, terrible band name) and also the stupidly big budget video for it. Everything else they did was not good.

27Nu-metal with good politics is still nu-metal.
CRAP.

Re: Rage Against the Machine
28I always had this laughable issue with them being anti establishment and putting their records on Warner Bros*
*I can't name a single major record company and I just watched one of the DC movies so that was my last one in my short term memory. I think it was Batman or Super League, not Flash. Flash was super horrible.
It' a CRAP for a me a. But some pancakes are included in the mix. Nutella pancakes to be precise.

Nothing major here. Just a regular EU cock. I pull it out and there is beans all over my penis. Bean shells all over my penis...

Salut! This thread.

30I voted crap. Music doesn't sound angry and dude has no flow.
