  • Rage Against The Machine was one of the biggest rock bands in the 1990s and the early 2000s, but infighting between band members quickly led to the group's demise.

    I got to meet Zack personally while doing a food delivery.
    Talk about being 100%, definitely Zack. Superstardom hasn't gone to his head nor his ego- he is quite humble. I had just lost my wife 2-3 weeks prior; Zack and I were just talking, he literally noticed I wasn't really 100% emotionally.
    I told him what had happened- Zack literally gave me a great hug of friendship.
    As a fan- " Zack please get RATM into full swing.

      It’s actually pretty long when your first album goes platinum.
      There’s pressure from the label and the fans for new music ASAP. That’s usually why 2nd album is often less well received because bands are tempted to release tracks that didn’t make the first cut or songs written between shows on tour without taking the time to let them mature a bit.

      All political act. Also, why else hire Michael Moore to direct a music video? Politics aside, his production style is low budget porn. In the application process, NYC told Moore everything he needed to be allowed to shoot, he chose to only get permission to be on the steps to cause that drama. Rage's actions at NYSE had nothing to do with making a video and everything to do with politics and proving they had Red Cred.

      They can't even argue their political hypocrisy anymore with a straight face.

    “The group had their first gig in October 1991 at California State University Northridge.”

I always assumed they were like a super close-knit band of brothers. Kind of wish I never heard about this, as it'll definitely come to mind when I listen to them. But, it is what it is, and they made some music that will stand the test of time.

      Take it for what it is, they are each passionate individuals with similar but obviously differing visions on many things. It's likely that this relationship contributed to the raw, menacing, and unique sound that is Rage. It was the perfect storm, and we can be thankful it toiled long enough to put out 4 records and many live shows. Saw them last weekend and it was EPIC, didn't think I'd ever get to see them. Cheers.

    I had tickets to one of the last ever Rage shows. One of the Beastie Boys got hurt riding a bike before the show and they pushed the show back, then Rage broke up. I never got the chance to see them. One day, maybe I can catch them on a reunion tour. Love these guys. They made some amazing music, and really fit so well in the time and place that they were around. Great times.

The only reason they were millionaires is because they actually succeeded.... Or are you one of those neo libertarian twatwaffles who thinks that 2 of the group being socialists means that they should've forfeited being paid? They can be socialist all they want but last they all grew up and still live in a capitalist society where having money makes life better. Take your phony outrage elsewhere.....

      They sang very few songs about hating capitalism, they wrote about a wide range of social and economic ills but hey that wouldn’t fit your narrow agenda would it?
