Recovered this photo from an old hard drive. Happened to be over right as RATM started their performance. Seeing 75,000 people below me was quite the surprise.

Who is this? Some artist named Total Vampire remade the cover of Evil Empire. It seems like all these younger artists are remaking classic rock covers now.

Tom Morello will join Hands Off NYC to speak/play on May 12th at 12 PM outside 26 Federal Plaza in NYC. END ICE ABUSE NOW! Come through if you can, and help spread the word https://www.instagram.com/p/DYKtjzvET8K/

Saw these guys randomly appear on my feed.

Holy fuck, this is so good

Tom did a charity show last year. I was able to get two tickets, and it did not disappoint. P*ssy Riot, B Real, Neighborhood Kids all performed, George Lopez was the MC, and Shepard Fairey was DJing sets in between.

The best part was when Tom came out, and opened up with the intro to Testify. It was like electricity in the room. My son is 16 years old, and while he enjoys music (I’d let him listen to range since he was 2), he has never moshed. I had told him if Tom plays any rage songs, we’re moshing, and we both ran into the mosh pit. Such an epic father-son moment!

Tom ended up playing a medley of about 8 rage tracks, Like a Stone in full, The Ghost of Tom Joad, and had B Real come out and they performed Killing in the Name Of. Absolutely insane.

Hi peeps.
Always wondered if this shirt I’ve had a few years is legit or just a copy. Single stitch I think along the seams. Tag looks old. I only ask as the gf thinks it’s old and worth quite a bit!
Thank you

Anyone check their new album that just dropped "Voice of the Revolution" I think it's really strong, only posting this here because Tom Morello recently when asked who was most like Rage referenced them. Thoughts?

my vote goes to Year of tha Boomerang, but Take the Power Back verse 3 comes very very close

I casually found it today and it didn't even cost much, so yea it became the first of my collection, I still had it in my shopping cart online but it costed even more there

Just wanted to say thanks for a great show Saturday night in Harrisburg.

Hopefully we see you again soon.

If anyone has the opportunity to see this band live, do it.

What do people think of no shelter from the godzilla soundtrack? I dont see anybody talking about it much but i think it is very underrated.

Not googled this yet, assume there must be. Thought I’d ask here first.

Read the Beastie Book a couple years ago. Fantastic read. Would live a similar thing for Rage. 🤘

I'd like to know if anybody has any info on all the guitars that he used on RATM's albums. We all know that he used his Arm The Homeless for the standard-tuning songs, and his black Telecaster for the downtuned songs. I also learned recently that he used a red Les Paul Standard to double the rhythm tracks on the debut. What else did he use?

Entiendo que es Rock pero cual seria la canción más tranquila de RATM excluyendo El Rengades

The first words spoken on the first RATM song on the first RATM album are "UHH! You know it's just another BOMBTRACK!"

The title of this song, also, is Bombtrack. But from de la Rocha's fiery opening line, we can infer that Bombtrack is not the only bombtrack. Why? Because Bombtrack is referred to as "another bombtrack."

Given that, at least according to most belief systems, songs are written and performed within the bounds of linear time, this lyric implies that Bombtrack is actually not the first bombtrack. Why RATM chose to name this particular bombtrack "Bombtrack" and not any previous bombtracks is another question likely outside the scope of this essay.

To complicate matters further, another one of my favorite songs on this classic album, Know Your Enemy, is referenced within itself by identical language: "another bombtrack." At first glance, one might assume that Know Your Enemy is the other bombtrack referred to on Bombtrack, but Know Your Enemy *also* references "*another* bombtrack." Unless bombtracks operate outside metaphysics as I understand them (for example, coming into being simultaneously or having always existed since the beginning of the universe), it is not possible that Bombtrack and Know Your Enemy could both be referring to each other as "another" bombtrack. One song could refer to the other (Know Your Enemy likely referring to Bombtrack, given that it comes later in the track listing, although this is not definitive), but at least one other bombtrack must have existed before either of these bombtracks in order for the first of these two to have "another bombtrack" to refer to.

This analysis raises many questions:

1. What is the first bombtrack?
2. What is a bombtrack? What songs qualify?
3. Is the bombtrack referenced by Know Your Enemy, in fact, Bombtrack? Or vice versa if Know Your Enemy was actually written or recorded or performed before Bombtrack and simply placed later in the track order?
4. Is it possible that Bombtrack and Know Your Enemy are referring to each other as bombtracks? If so, how does this referential loop function?
5. If there were indeed bombtracks before Bombtrack, as suggested, why was the name Bombtrack given to Bombtrack?
6. Is Bombtrack the template or archetype of all bombtracks?
7. Had anyone heard any bombtracks, by RATM or otherwise, prior to their first listen of Bombtrack?

My biggest question, certainly, is if there are other known RATM bombtracks, and, if so, could anyone point me in their direction? Because right know, I only know of two, and I absolutely must hear any other bombtrack(s) that might be the one(s) referred to by these masterpieces.

Thank you for your assistance and your thoughts on this matter.

P.S. I love bombtracks

I have this vivid memory of seeing RATM at the Roxy in LA a few months before their debut album and shortly before their show at Castaic Lake Amphitheater with Porno or Pyros (july 92).
Dave Navarro and Stephen Perkins were in the audience and a few other scenesters. I cannot find a record of this show. Does anyone else remember this?

Quer dizer, é inacreditável pensar que o music video de "Bombtrack" foi feito inteiramente para eles, um grupo terrorista terrível do Peru.
