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.

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

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

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

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

dont shitpost if you dont want nasty reactions. people are just recoiling at/gagging on the pungent turdsmell that your posts have created - i for one really didnt appreciate your contentless audioslave posting in a very serious rage against the machine thread
sorry for derailing again, i just felt like this was an important 'teaching moment' for markers
anyway, thread's made me reevaluate a few of these. i think i leapt for bulls because its the one i hear on the radio most and probably the one that puts me in a state of maximum stokedness when im driving, but a lot of these are pretty rockin' & cool.
my fav ratm deep cut is 'Revolver' btw

BTW, and I feel like I've posted about this on ILX before but I can't find it, so: In the same vein as "yo it's time for Rage," a high school friend and I spent a few math study hall sessions working out the details of Roman Empire, a historical edutainment album born the day we learned about the Egypt-raiding "People of the Sea" in 10th grade history. Obviously, the "People of the Sun" variation was just around the corner. Other hits: "Revolver" became "Republic," "Tire Me" became "Ptolemy," and of course "Bulls on Parade" became "Byzantium." Will post what I can remember of the POTS lyrics if y'all care!

i heard a Rage song on the radio today, it took me 30 seconds to figure out if it was "Sleep Now In The Fire" or "Testify," as it always does. obviously they're not the most versatile band in the world but it still blows my mind how they were able to release two virtually identical singles back to back.
