Rage Against The Machine

[Soul Reaper]

I really like RATM, they had a unique sound in a time when grunge ruled the world. Their first album was awesome.

[DLR7884]

I would say that their first album was one of the best debut albums ever.

Sounds like a new thread is gonna be put up....

[CVHfan]

They were awesome. Even though people on this forum don't like
rap-rock, RATM did it really well. The debut was great and "The Battle for Los Angeles" excellent.

RATM are fantastic. One of my fave bands of all time, their build-ups in their songs are great, their style was unique, everything about them is fantastic. Their debut album was fantastic, as is Battle of Los Angeles.

Such a shame about Audioslave though....

...and "Sleep now in the fire" is one of the tighest songs and coolest videos ever.

I'm not sharing many of their views, but my opinion is that rock and rollers can discuss politics too, if they want to and are intelligent enough. It's not necessarily my kind of rock, the political stuff, but hey, we're not all alike.

[smaz]

Audioslave are 3 members of Rage. You would have thought that the music side of things would still be fantastic. But Audioslave are nothing compared to RATM.

Then again, I suppose it can happen. Van Hagar is 3 members of Van Halen, but they suck balls.

Also, as for their political side of things, I don't really think about that, or like it because of that. I just see them as one very talented band, with great tunes.

[DLR7884]

I'm glad Audioslave doesn't sound like RATM, personally. It's not the same band.

I think it's a crime that you just compared them to VH3.

DLR7884
I can't name too many rock albums from this millenium that are as good as Audioslave's first album....can you?

[smaz]

You have got a point actually, it is good that they don't sound the same. But still, I saw a video on T.V. or Audioslave live, and I thought it was awful. Cochise isn't bad, but got a bit overplayed, and Show Me How to Live is alright, but their other song I've heard, Like a Stone or whatever, was bollocks, I didn't like it.

That song was way overplayed....

Do you own the album?

DLR7884
For Christ's sake, you better before you state your opinion about the band.

[smaz]

I don't wasn't impressed enough to get a copy. That song was on the music channels constantly when it came out, and got a bit boring after a while.

[CVHfan]

At least Audioslave had the decency to not sell us the idea that it was just Rage with a different singer, unlike some band we all know. Thus, they preserved the legacy of RATM.

[rustoffa]

The crazed singer would wear and tear, but some of it was pretty bombastic.

[loss of fools]

ratm are good but i cant say i like audioslave i just plain dont like the singer

I totally agree with DLR7884 on all his statements about RATM and Audioslave.

If you havnt got there last DVD they put out you have to get it.
