xevanx Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Does anyone else find that these guys were a true set of revolutionaries in your life? I foudn that they really changed my opinion on thigns, I now worship Zack de la rocha. I find that he is a true renegade(no pun intended) Rage Against the Machine Homepage Tom morello, is one of my most favourite guitarist, and if you listen to the songs, de la rocha is a frekain genious/excellent songwriter. he pours emotion into his songs, and you cna feel it in the rest of the instrumentation. Bullet in the Head, Bulls on Parade, Killing in the Name of, Know your Enemy, Renegades of Funk, Guerilla Radio. for me these guys pioneered political funk rock. unfortunately my parents are that fond of it. i must tell you that it does include some coarse language. my fav. lyrics by them: No escape from the mass mind **pe Play it again jack and then rewind the tape Play it again and again and again Until ya mind is locked in Believin' all the lies that they are tellin' ya Buying all the products that they are selling ya They say jump Ya say how high Ya brain dead Ya gotta f**k*n' bullet in your head it really is genious. then guerilla radio: Contact I highjacked the frequencies Blockin the beltway Move on DC Way past the days of bombin MCs Sound off Mumia guan be free Who gottem yo check the federal file All you pen devils know the trial was vile Army of pigs try to silence my style Off em all out that box its my radio dial and of course calm like a bomb: I was born landless Yes its tha native son Born of Zapatas guns Stroll through the shanties And tha cities remains Same bodies buried hungry But with different last names The vultures robbin everything Leave nothing but chains Pick a point on the globe Yes tha pictures tha same Theres a bank, theres a church, a myth and a hearse A mall and a loan, a child dead at birth Theres a widow pig parrot A rebel to tame A whitehooded judge A syringe and a vein And the riot be the rhyme of the unheard and last but not least know your enemy: Something must be done About vengeance, a badge and a gun cause Ill rip the mike, rip the stage, rip the system I was born to rage against em ------- Now I got no patience So sick of complacence With the d the e the f the I the a the n the c the e Mind of a revolutionary So clear the lane The finger to the land of the chains What? the land of the free? Whoever told you that is your enemy? ---- Theyre the teachers who taught me to fight me Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite All of which are american dreams (8 times) just so powerful, i grew up with these guys, and now i think im tainted. Zack is my hero. post on RATM, anything..just keep it cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lageris89 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 My sister saw them live back in '94. I saw Audioslave last year and Tom, Brad, and Tim played Bulls on Parade without Chris on stage (So it was just the RATM members); pretty cool. They also played some other RATM songs with Chris on vocals. And if Zach was a real revolutionary he would have done something post-2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oy_the_Great Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Yeah, Rage is great music. It's a bit of a mixture between the funkyness of RHCP and the agression found in QotSA. Of course Audioslave and Soundgarden are relevant other bands, but I do prefer Rage for its hard lyrical quality and the high headbang and shouting factor.

And since all vibrations are theoretically sound, then it is not unreasonable to suggest that the universe is music and should be perceived as such.

Same lyrics, same song message, and same music from every song. It got very boring. ... I kind of agree with the song message part, but the lyrics and instrumentals were very good in every song. Not much alike in my opinion, like "Bulls on Parade" vs. "Guerilla Radio"... very different sounds. IMO at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
