Rage against the Machine wants Bush dead!

Nor allowed them to keep any of those millions of dollars they earned.

Quite the other way around.

Kids today

Well, you haven't liked anything since Liberace minced away from the world.

They aren't liberals, you know.

And they rule, of course. Sleep now in the fire.

So, this, Rage Against the Machine, it's supposed to be a band or something?

[Homer]Rock stars. Is there anything they don't know?[/Homer]

I can't honestly remember the last time they advocated a totalitarian state ever.

At least do it right....

They're politics are of the trendy pseudo revolutionary/left wing variety. And we all know what those types of movements produce. You deny this?

Kinda like carlos delgado and the other idiots who will not stand for our national anthem. Say what you want about my big mouth manager named Ozzie but at least he makes his players come out for it or they dont play. it shouldnt have to be that way

Vote for Gore or the son of a drug lord, none of the above fuck it cut the cord...

Screw all this chatter about Rage. I saw Ozomatli at a reggae-fest last summer with a nice contact buzz and they were a great time. No angst all groove, and bra-less hippy chicks as far as the eye could see. When I saw Rage it was all studs and black leather and bad attitudes - fuck that!

I've never heard of them.

You never saw Beavis & Butt-Head?

Their video "New World Order", was on that.

IMHO Rage's only remarkable performance is the ad infinitum screaming of FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME! at the end of that one song. Other than that they're meh. Just another generic punk band.

....um....name me a brand name punk band....genericness is it's appeal.

RATM isn't a punk band. Nor is it generic.

The industrial revolution was neither industrial, nor a revolution, discuss!

The sexual revolution was neither sexual nor a revolution. Discuss.

Who knew that 15 years later, people who talk like this would be getting elected to Congress?

Na. Notice Rage included tried in their statement. The Rs are past that now.

oh.. and here's Henry talking about Joey... all them old punks going woke :o

Man Tamar was fucking stupid sometimes

Goes with the territory.

Not all of them, ahem...

Too many formerly relevant musicians think they absolutely have to constantly grace the public with their wisdom. Among the few who really have something to say are Buzz Osborne from the godlike Melvins and of course Maynard from Tool. Although the latter floats in completely different spheres anyway. Besides, he still makes music, doesn't suffer from a pathological sense of mission and doesn't think he's eaten wisdom with spoons.

One Bono is enough.

you can't cite really John Lydon as being relevant though... ever in his career for that matter.
and Bono was never really much of a punk (Henry had a good bit about him around the time of Rattle and Hum).

although, yeah... Murray from Day-glo has gone a little around the bend after covid and the cancel culture scam. Fuckin guy is claiming turmeric has healed his cancer, but not the chemo...

What makes Rollins more relevant than Lydon?

In Europe, the influence of the Sex Pistols was ten times greater than that of obscure American punk bands like the Rollins Band. It doesn't really matter whether you think the Sex Pistols were "real punk" or not. Sure, they were just a kind of an artificial boy band (which is ironic...), but they definitely left their mark.

Punk is dead as a doornail anyway and lives at most as a cliché for some nostalgics. It was probably never more than that. The best thing that came out of American punk and hardcore musically are post-hardcore bands like the brilliant Crowbar. The whole sludge scene from New Orleans. Down, EyeHateGod, Corrision of Conformity, etc..., Kirk Windstein is still making music! Unlike others, lol...

But you probably just weight the political stuff higher than I do.
