i've thought about making this poll so many times over the past few years but the thought of it becoming a two horse race between "Killing" and "Bulls" just depressed me so i didn't bother

my high school band performed "yellow ledbetter" by pearl jam and "killing in the name of" at our senior year talent show.

haha well it wouldnt be the first time rage's message had been "undermined" by being used to soundtrack a sporting event

poor markers having to make the same weak joke twice

xxxp my other talent show experiences:

- rapping "parents just dont understand" at the talent show in 3rd grade
- auditioning for the talent show in 4th grade with "blame it on the rain," not making the cut ;_;

i don't give a shit that you don't like me, but stop turning up in every fucking thread to say something about me, no one cares

My favorite 45 seconds are the start of Killing In the Name Of, but I don't like the rest of the song as much as I like the rest of Bulls on Parade or Renegades.

Bonus points for the Down Rodeo came on when I was driving back from Westwood to the apartment I lived in on the outskirts of Beverly Hills, and I detoured down Rodeo Dr. and turned the radio all the way up for fun. Even though mostly it reminded me that the most of the wealthy people one sees on Rodeo Drive are not exactly the grandchildren of slaveholders.

guys, a rage against the machine thread is no place for taking a stand or making a point.

markers generally thought we were cool, i didn't think that was a real hard diss anyway, but i guess we are not.

yeah, we're fine -- apologies for overreacting, just getting tired of getting called out all the time

Bullet in the Head. The way it builds is ludicrously exciting. Amazing that they pretty much had the whole album written and recorded within a few weeks of getting together. They knew exactly what they were doing.

Admire No Shelter for it's shitting-where-you-eat lyric and video.

rage were hella corny and one dimensional but i'll be damned if any band in the 90's as popular as they were did big dumb undeniable riffs as well as they did.

I have to say, few major selling bands of the era had such a high level of WTFness about them. Case in point, how they turned de la Rocha losing his voice before a gig into this NSFW and rather embarrassing photo-op.*

Rise Against have picked up the mantle of 'popular radio band with strident politics and humorless frontman and heavyhanded statement videos with the word against in their name' but it's just nto as much fun because there's no rapping or woop woop guiturntablism

dogps (some dude), Wednesday, 10 August 2011 02:40 (1 year ago) Permalink

the way guitar magazines used to jack off over morello was disgusting.

"this guy can shred like vai but he'd rather make, like, weird sounds!"

totally otm about morello the so called guitar "genius", esp cuz most of the time it's like some dumb pedal setting he's using to make the wacky sound, those whammy pitch shifter deals and all that

great mosh pit riffer tho

om nom nom nnamdi asomugha (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 10 August 2011 12:03 (1 year ago) Permalink

i wonder what has happened to whammy pedal sales since dimebag, morello, and the guys for korn are no longer popular and/or alive.

thank this thing in part for a generation of shitty guitar playing.
