RATM... I really liked them when I first heard "Killing (In The Name Of)". Then I heard everything else they did and got a severe case of the Creeping Horror. Getting rid of Zack is quite possibly the best thing they could have done as far as I'm concerned. As far as Tom Morello's talent is concerned... He seems talented enough, but I'd much rather talk to him than listen to him play.

I really think they should hire Sammy Hagar to be their next singer.
Ask for Sammy, get Chris Cornell.

So, when is the Inside Out reunion again?
― Mackro Mackro, Thursday, 3 April 2008 22:07 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm not sure why I've decided to take this question seriously, but anyway...
S: "Freedom," "Down Rodeo," "The Ghost Of Tom Joad," the song from The Crow soundtrack
D: Most of Battle of LA (WAY overrated.. especially "Sleep Now In The Fire"), "Renegades Of Funk," the Cypress hill cover, most of the covers album

people STILL give a shit about this band?!?

I think that Battle of Los Angeles is a good album and I don't care who knows it

i am happier to hear rage than pretty much any other 90s mainstream rock band

when i was a kid i was AFRAID of RATM! like people would wear their shirts and i'd think "i bet that band is too out of control for me. i like beethoven's Eroica symphony, and i'm too young and sheltered to even know what the word erotica means."
i'm not sure i ever heard "killing in the name of" until just now. it is flagrantly bad! if you just listen to the guitar riff and concentrate on it, it is unbelievably boring and tame and completely at odds with the lyrics.
FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!*endless jam band slappy guitar riff plays in the corner of a coffeeshop in the 3rd largest collegetown in a state that has between 3 and 5 members in the house of representatives*

Definitely one of the worst bands of all time.

Capsule history of Ned and RATM -- warm July night, 1992, some time before the first album came out.FRIEND: "Come, Ned, let us go to this benefit with lots of bands on it. Rage Against the Machine are playing, and I have seen them and they are great. You will like them."NED: "I trust you, friend."[at show, RATM take the stage and the entire crowd goes nuts]NED to self: "My friend alas lied. This is absolutely terrible jock rock pig-headed fucking crap."

This band has always been absolute shit and I can’t believe they’re being critically rehabilitated. Fucking revisionist history bullshit.

Another thing to blame the millenials for I guess.

I have no particular feelings about RATM but I enjoyed this video of a guy listening to killing in the name of for the first time.
