Rage Against the Machine

I thought Rage broke up but I'm listening to the radio and some RatM song that I've never heard before is on here. Well, it's definately the singer and the music sounds exactly the same. Do they have a new album or something?
 
Never mind. One of my coworkers just came in and said that it's a song that came out just before they broke up. I must have missed an album somewhere.
 
They did put out a live album about 4 months ago. Just before they broke up, they released an album of cover songs.

That's probably what this was then. Were these all recognizable covers? Then again, even the most recognizable songs might seem to be something else once Rage gets ahold of it.
 
That whiny bitch should just kill himself and save the world from another preachy RATM-style whine-fest. There's a reason he got replaced by Chris Cornell you know. Morello and crew wanted to be musicians, not activists.
 
Fairly recognizeable...
The album is called renegades the track listing is this:
01 Microphone Fiend
02 Pistolgrip Pump
03 Kick Out the Jams
04 Renegades of Funk
05 Beautiful World
06 I'm Housin'
07 In My Eyes
08 How I Could Just Kill a Man
09 The Ghost of Tom Joad
10 Down on the Street
11 Street Fighting Man
12 Maggie's Farm

It's an okay album, but definently not their best!

Hrmm, it might have been #4. Do they use the word testify in that song a lot? I'm getting older and all of these songs blend together now. 🙁

I believe Zack left and broke up the band. Cornell is decent, but he's no Zack by a long shot. To each their own, but I rather hear De la Rocha any day over Cornell.

that would be the song, "Testify" 😛

I don't think Rage broke up because they differed in their views on activism/politics. Give me a break. It was more about the music. You can tell the band changed their style of music from the first album to Battle of Los Angeles (or to be fair, Renegades). So in my opinion, the breakup was more about the music than anything else.

I don't think it was change so much as evolve . . . the essence is definatly still there, and still comes out in Audioslave. Take out Chris' voice and it's still instantly recognizable as Tom Morello's work.

I've never heard them say it was about anything but the music.

I heard an interview with Morello where he basically said that they just didn't want to make angry music anymore. That he and the rest of the band wanted to move on, but Zach still wanted to do the same kind of music.
 
Wow... I read that they broke up over an argument (not music related) they had at an awards show. Zack and the bassist as I remember it.
 
Yeah, apparently Audioslave has 22 tracks ready to pick from and we'll be hearing from them soon, with a tour in the fall! Supposedly it's a newer sound that's more "Audioslave" than one of their 2 respective former groups...something they said about the debut album but failed to achieve, really.
 
I thought zack was in mexico supplying the zapista's with weapons or something like that. He's a crazy mofo.

On another note... what was up with him being on the cover of Vanity Fair a few years back?? It seemed so wrong.

But the thing is that I can never listen to Audioslave and not think I'm listening to Soundgarden. I think that's why I like Velvet Revolver more because I don't automatically think of STP.
