A Coachella Alphabet: Rage Against The Machine

Rage Against The Machine

Name: Rage Against The Machine
Genre: Rock
Day: Sunday

Wikipedia sez: “Rage Against the Machine is a Grammy Award-winning American rock band, noted for their blend of hip hop, hard rock, punk and funk as well as their explicit revolutionary socialist philosophy and lyrics.The band split up in 2000, with guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk forming part of the supergroup Audioslave, and vocalist Zack de la Rocha starting a low-key solo career. In early 2007, reunion performances at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and Rock the Bells IV were announced. Rage drew inspiration from early metallic instrumentation, as well as rap acts such as Public Enemy and Afrika Bambaataa. Their music was based primarily on de la Rocha’s rhyming styles and vocals along with their sound, especially Morello’s unusual extended guitar techniques.”

I’m not going to go on about Rage Against The Machine, quite simply because I’d only be lavishing them in praise. The live concerts that I have seen look like pure insanity. Will their performance be the same? I doubt it, simply because they haven’t been playing together for seven years. In fact I doubt their performance at Coachella will be the show stopper of the festival, because of this. But I’d be lying if I said that I am not looking forward to it. One for the history books, that’s for sure.

Likelyhood of Seeing at Coachella: Reason I am going.
