An absolute kickass band with rap vocals and metal influence. The title album RATM is the best by them. Unfortunatly they have 3 full length release and they are among few of those bands with small carrer.I still enjoy the RATM song , and the videos awesome ... killing in the name of , bullet in ur head are few of the good and memorable videos i still enjoy and even suggest people to watch the demonic waves of RATM.
Any fans ??

but one live show I hear Zach say "we would be selling t-shirts but we dont want to be supporting corperate america bullshit" I just find that kind of ironic. And if what your saying is true, than why was it nessisary to sell a song to THQ and the matrix movie? rather than just selling there music?

Listening to their self-titled debut right now. I am a fan. I am not on top of all of their political ideas and such, but I quite enjoy the music. The mix is grand, and pulled off well. High quality music.

Back in the day, before I got into Metal, they were my favourite band. I still listen to them from time to time, the political ideologies are carried across powerfully with the venom in Zach de la Rocha's voice while rapping/screaming. The music itself is still pretty cool, it doesn't get old at all, and I'm pretty excited at their reunion, I just hope they come to Australia!

I think its just a bunch of white guys playing crap (aka rap) with guitars, with punkish lyrics (yeah yeah we are so against the system,) perhaps they are the nuest nu metal band I know of =P

Written by Guest on 24.10.2007 at 11:01 These days I actually listen to them for the same purpose, except for me it takes me back to the age of 14!  Having said that, I still was annoyed when I couldn't get tickets to Big Day Out at the Gold Coast for January. They're the only reason I wanted to go.

I'm into RATM since the beginning of their career.. I like almost all of their albums.. The self-titled album, Evil Empire, Renegades, and The Battle of LA.. Songs like Bombtrack, Bulls on Parade, Guerrilla Radio, etc. are outstanding..

I liked this band when I first heard them many years ago, and to this day I still play The Battle of LA and Evil Empire. Zack's vocals are so energetic and Tom Morello obviously is a creative guitarist. I still don't have their self-titled album though.  I need to get that.Down Rodeo is one of the coolest songs I've ever heard. Actually, that was my first RATM song.

Sadly, I don't see myself getting that album in the near future. Maybe I'll just download it or something whenever I buy a computer. As for my top five, I don't think I can easily make one. Down Rodeo is #1 though.

LOL I wouldn't even be able to pick 5 from just the debut album... and that's where all my favourites would come from Know Your Enemy is however likely my #1... I still need to get Evil Empire I know Parade is a very famous song but honestly I cannot put a tune to it. No idea how it goes.Damn, I wrote that post without listening to these guys for months and months... I just went through all my fav tracks and the quality seems much lower than I remember. Bullet in the Head or Ashes in the Fall may be my #1s now but it's still quite hard to choose. Also yet to listen to the covers album I bought over a year ago

They simply rule live! Saw them yesterday, in-door, among 17.000 others, and it was really amazing. Unbelievable atmosphere, great live experience, I was impressed. Rage Against The Machine are now in my Top 5 Best Live Shows, and I am not even a fan. Go figure. And go see RATM live!

I enjoy Rage. I think they are a pretty unique band in that they actually take a proactive approach to things by demonstrating and protesting. It's pretty cool to see a band who became so popular still do things of that nature. Plus Zach is a bad ass lol.

Written by LeChron James on 10.10.2008 at 05:05 Man, tell me about it... I can't even go to some concerts just because this goverment is so gay than I can't be there just because i'm not 18 and some alcohol places are around that specific place. What a gay reasons since there a lot of people that get drunk at my age. [No.. I'm not like that, that's why it feels horrible for me] And about the band... I remember listening them some years ago and I didn't like them that much and deleted the music. But now... I listened some tracks from their s/t.. Damn, what a fucking atmosphere, really agressive and energic music. I have to get back the music that I deleted, lol
