This is exactly the way Rage Against The Machine was supposed to have been captured - it's live, it's raw, it's sloppy, and it's one of the most powerful records I've heard in a long time.

The video-footage of this is absolutely killer. Essential stuff. how old was zach when he was in rage. i know tom was an old man.. but what about ol zach scott: i like your reviews normally, but this was pretty off the mark. this is probably the worst of the live rage shows ever laid down on tape -- the recording is nasty, and zack sounds like a fruitcake. the stuff on the dvd is better, like the 'democratic convention' recording (the video is fucked up), and the original 'live and rare' album. this shit is unnecessary. The only people who have actually done research agree...Mumia is guilty. Court transcripts are your friend. unless youve done considerable research into the Mumia case, comments like these "Mumia is still guilty" are pretty offensive, especially considering he could be executed. This is one of the best sounding live album I've heard since Social Distortion Live @ The Roxy. I'm just puzzled by how some of the audio on the CD is different from the DVD. For those of you who dont like RATM why the hell do you bother to look at the review you idiots. I love the s/t album, everything after that is meh. Oh, & Mumia is still guilty. evil empire was a good record. ive said this before and ill say it again...If BSD stands for bullshit detector, the detect your fucking self. This band and Limp Bizkit have always sucked copious amounts of ass. "what? how is their delivery laughable?" Rage were the shit! The DVD of this is pretty great aswell. what? how is their delivery laughable? I'm not quite sure with this band. It seems like they have good intentions with their politicl belifs, but their delivery is laughable. Audioslave is all Cornell's fault. He said he'd only do it if the rest of them dropped the politics to produce sub-Zeppelin bullshit, so that Morello and Cornell can really tell themselves they ARE Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. No-one said they did, moron. I'm sure these guys have a lot more to do with punk than the Subhumans... In other news, I plan to see "Lounge Against the Machine" while I am in New Orleans in a week. Can we blame Rage for Audioslave? Or should we just TP Chris Cornell's house until he sings "Spoonman"? i dont think Zach's voice could be that annoying. If there ever was an annoying voice id say Billy Corgan, but eh, some 'ate 'em, some love 'em. The only person with talent is tom morello, the other are sub par,doesn't anyone think that Zach has one of the most annoying voices ever? "posers, the whole lot of you." I especially miss RATM during times like these. What would the people of the world need to do to make RATM realize they should still be making music? By far one of the best political rock bands of all time. Blaming Rage for Limp Biscuit is like blaming The Clash for New Found Glory.....Rage rocks.....their music means something and is brutal.....Limp Triscuit is justt a pop rap band with pro tooled guitars and a midget pop rapper. Only two songs off of Evil Empire? S/T and Evil Empire were their best albums. As far as The Battle of LA, well, I'd rather put three cups of soap in my d-hole than listen to it. Still, I'd like to see how all of the songs translate live and "No Shelter" is a really kickass song. Peace. yea green day could be sacrificed I like this band, but I prefer Inside Out. To lieutenant- dude you can't blame numetal on these guys, they played a part, but would you sacrifice greenday to have prevented the mall punk revolution? i said 3 studio albums cuz renegades is all covers. sorry i wasnt so specific rage superfan. "you get to hear" "damn rage was a good band, but i usually get tired of live albums pretty fast. i have all 3 studio albums, i think i'm set. but yea, anyone who bags on these guys is a fool." funny, i was just listening to the s/t album yesterday with a buddy of mine. Er, rearrange "This is" to "Is this", please and thank you. This is an unabridged recording of one performance, or are the songs pieced together from different recordings? posers, the whole lot of you. i know im stating the obvious, but Zack really made this band, i mean comeon one word explains it all now....audioslave... I would gladly sacrifice Rage to prevent the Nu-Metal trend that ruined music for a few years and (an already shaky) Alternative-Rock radio. Fred Durst should have 2 tattos of Zack's head on his chest, instead of Elvis & Kurdt. That would show off his real influences. damn rage was a good band, but i usually get tired of live albums pretty fast. i have all 3 studio albums, i think i'm set. but yea, anyone who bags on these guys is a fool. Rage was awesome. They put on one of the best live shows ever I really used to love rage. Their music rocks and will still be credible in the long run. |
