Rage Against the Machine consider recording new album

Contributed by alex101. Posted by aubin on Tuesday, June 8, 2010 at 5:00 PM (EDT)

Rage Against The Machine are reportedly considering a new album. The band, who reunited in 2007 had originally come out against a new record. Frontman Zach de la Rocha told NME about the change of mind:

I think it's a genuine possibility. We have to get our heads around what we're going to do towards the end of the year and finish up on some other projects and we'll take it from there.

Those "other projects" include de la Rocha's band, One Day as a Lion and guitarist Tom Morello's projects, The Nightwatchman and Street Sweeper Social Club.

im going to be in Boston on the 16th for a Red Sox game. Anybody know of any sweet record stores near that area?

jawbreakersuckssucks (June 8, 2010)

You mean other than Newbury Comics?

ZachLeg (June 8, 2010)

I don't even know what that is.

bastard_squad (June 8, 2010)

You will want to figure that out.

ZachLeg (June 8, 2010)

I'm guessing it's a record store?

bastard_squad (June 8, 2010)

Comics, toys, records.

Fun place.

ZachLeg (June 8, 2010)

Sounds cool. I will have to check it out. Any other places?

bastard_squad (June 8, 2010)

My time in Boston is usually limited. I'm no expert.

jawbreakersuckssucks (June 8, 2010)

You will need no other.

patod (June 8, 2010)

This. Newbury is basically the best thing to come out of New England since the American Revolution, I love that place like no other.

Dedricthere (June 8, 2010)

I bought a Clubber Lang bobble head at Newbury comics.

I came in just to see how many posts it would take.

So some dude tried to pick a fight with me in the bathroom at the Ottobar last night. This drunk dumbass in a beanie was just hanging out in the men's room and harassing everyone in line and going on about how, in so many words, he could beat Macho Man Randy Savage "with just my fuckin' dick, bro!"

I made some crack about the Iron Shiek having a bigger dong, and he fucking flipped out. "That fuckin', that fuckin', fuckin', that sand n****r couldn't fuckin', fuckin', I'd slap with my huge fat duck, KAPOW!"

I just rolled my eyes and walked up to piss in the urinal. So I'm draining what ten minutes ago was Natty Boh, and this tool starts like slapping me on the back and talking about Randy Savage some more. I say "hey man, I dunno about you, but I don't appreciate other dudes touching me when I got my dick in my hand." (Phonetic drunken slurring removed for clarity.)

The whole men's room starts cracking up, and the dude flips out more. His face turned beet red, and he started sputtering, "I'll fuckin', I'll fuckin' touch your dick like a fuckin' homo and shit!" Everyone else starts laughing more because, let's face it, that was the dumbest fucking macho threat in the history of dumb, macho threats.

At this point I'm washing my hands and leaving the stall having tuned this dipshit out, but I do hear as I'm leaving "Who called me a fag?!?"
So glad I didn't have to punch a bitch last night.

bastard_squad (June 8, 2010)

What made you dig that one out?

ZachLeg (June 8, 2010)

this is why i go down to the water and watch baby ducks and frogs n shit. theyre so peaceful and have a much better reality, not constant fighting and bullshit

bastard_squad (June 8, 2010)

That's my favorite and should be inserted into the White Crosses review somewhere.

ZachLeg (June 8, 2010)

Underneath all of the trolling and downright stupidity, NYBlowhards has a somewhat functioning and insightful mind.

jacknife737 (June 8, 2010)

He's dropping knowledge bombs on ya'll.

jaydischord (June 9, 2010)

Sorry but i would have punched the cunt in the face just for being a tit.

Dante3000 (rich) (June 8, 2010)

If I was a betting man, I'd put my money on this not happening. If it does happen, I'd bet on it being really bad. However, I did lose $24 in Vegas, so what do I know?

Cos (June 8, 2010)

They're in a contest with the Pixies to see who can hold out the longest before making an album that will inevitably disappoint everyone.

returnofdebs (June 8, 2010)

one minute you're up $1800, and the next your blowing a dude for a sandwich.

you got to know when to hold em and when to fold em fucker.

Dante3000 (rich) (June 8, 2010)

That second part has nothing to do with losing money gambling...that's just a free sandwich!

ZachLeg (June 8, 2010)

free if you think that blowing a dude is an enjoyment

Misanthropee (June 8, 2010)

Considering Zach's seeming inability to complete anything, I'd say that's a safe bet. Personally, I'd rather hear the stuff he started with DJ Shadow and Reznor before ditching out on both.

jaydischord (June 9, 2010)

I'll tell you why you lost that dosh mate......cause you're shit at everything.......fucking obviously.

mattramone (June 8, 2010)

No one is saying boooo-urns

Mammoth (June 8, 2010)

In all actuality, which is worse?? Rage making another album or the Methadones breaking up?

What a cruddy week so far.

Mammoth (June 8, 2010)

Oh I'm the Marlboro man UH!

DougCL (June 8, 2010)

fucking yes. fuuuuucking yes.

HKC (June 8, 2010)
