Rage Against the Machine to play during RNC

[tiznow]

know your enemy my favorite

whenever i'm pissed off at big government and shit....and everybody that plays along with the game....both left and right the one party system....a good release.....

Yes I know my enemies
Theyre the teachers who taught me to fight me
Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission
Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite
All of which are american dreams (8 times)

At the Coachella 2007 performance, De la Rocha made an impassionated speech during "Wake Up", citing a statement by Noam Chomsky regarding the Nuremberg Trials,[42]as follows:
“ A good friend of ours once said that if the same laws were applied to U.S. presidents as were applied to the Nazis after World War II [...] every single one of them, every last rich white one of them from Truman on, would have been hung to death and shot—and this current administration is no exception. They should be hung, and tried, and shot. As any war criminal should be

America touts itself as the land of the free, but the number one freedom that you and I have is the freedom to enter into a subservient role in the workplace. Once you exercise this freedom you've lost all control over what you do, what is produced, and how it is produced. And in the end, the product doesn't belong to you. The only way you can avoid bosses and jobs is if you don't care about making a living. Which leads to the second freedom: the freedom to starve. ”

— Tom Morello, Guitar World

The event led to a media furor. A clip of Zack's speech found its way to the Fox News program "Hannity & Colmes." An on-screen headline read, "Rock group Rage Against the Machine says Bush admin should be shot." Ann Coulter (a guest on the show) stated, "They’re losers, their fans are losers, and there’s a lot of violence coming from the left wing."[43] On July 28th and 29th, Rage co-headlined the hip hop festival Rock the Bells. On July 28, they made a speech during Wake Up just as they had done at Coachella. During this, De La Rocha made another statement, defending the band from Fox News, who he alleged misquoted his speech at Coachella:
“ A couple of months ago, those fascist motherfuckers at the Fox News Network attempted to pin this band into a corner by suggesting that we said that the president should be assassinated. Nah, what we said was that he should be brought to trial as a war criminal and hung and shot. THAT'S what we said. And we don't back away from the position because the real assassinator is Bush and Cheney and the whole administration for the lives they have destroyed here and in Iraq. They're the ones. And what they refused to air which was far more provocative in my mind and in the minds of my bandmates is this: this system has become so brutal and vicious and cruel that it needs to start wars and profit from the destruction around the world in order to survive as a world power. THAT's what we said. And we refuse not to stand up, we refuse to back down from that position...[44]

amen

[RobFunk]

I'm going to come out with a new album. I'm going to rap about all you guys.

I think I'll call it "RobFunk - untitled"

 

[gtc08]

rage is young peoples music but it still has a large demo today just based on the fact that its a political band. they drew over 200k to the festival in chicago last weekend. i'll be at target center so i'll be able to give a first hand account of the demographic

 

[tiznow]

with ron paul it'll be a little different than most

sorry to sterotype but typical rage show attendent is well you....you'll fit right in

They didn't draw 200K. It was 225K for the whole weekend (75K per day all sold out) with 120+ bands. I was at the last day to see NIN. The backdrop at Grant Park and the city is second to none for a festival show.

 

[gtc08]

haha this is true tizzie. most rage supporters are people in there 20s to 30s and have strong resentment towards the country and gov. these people are more aware of what is going on though then the tocco's and rightside who walk into brick walls in front of them. people that have no idea what they are doing or there surroundings.

the majority went to see ratm though. they were the most talked about.

 

[tiznow]

i just don't get the obama fetish with your age group

but maybe you'll smarten up as you age....most sub 30s are democrats especially now after bush

see beyond the lies....he's more of the same.....letting the system continue as it does as we get flushed down the tubes....giving us more and more government

i know his type of government sounds better to you than the bush lies and iraq wars and shit.....bush was a huge fuckup beyond the war shit.....but its not the right response to our problems......

granted i guess in the end you really don't have much of a choice going up mccain

all you can really do is vote 3rd party like me and let the right/left one party people duke it out which in the end really means nothing anyway

 

[RobFunk]

Tiz, so how is Mccain a better choice? I'm not going to pick JM just to rebel against Obama that is idiocy. Why couldnt the pubs pick a guy like Huckabee.

 

[tiznow]

y i kept editing i knew the mccain thing would come up

i'm a hardcore righty bush is a liberal

liberal aka you liberally do shit thus the reason the term is used......like homeland security, FEMA, patriot act, and bs iraq war....

 

[D2bets]

the majority went to see ratm though. they were the most talked about.

The majority on Saturday but not the whole weekend. Radiohead was the only unopposed headliner.

 

[TheFalls]

rage is sick. i'll pay a bill to see them if they roll through dallas.

seen them every time they have been through big D.

fave quote from their tour with U2..

"this one goes out to the dallas police dept".........fuck da police

 

[Romanowski]

just me but id rather see radiohead and I have several times including the most recent tour about a month ago
