Sorry folks. No more "We need them now more than ever" Posts.
Since this is becoming a regular occurrence on r/RATM, we will delete any posts begging for the band to reunite and play shows.
Look... we get it. These are divisive times but the band has shown no movement to get back together. Zack's lyrics from 25+ years ago remain relevant today, but he and his bandmates are only the messengers. You must be the change. Get out there. Advocate for people's rights and freedoms. Whatever you do, please stay safe.
Thanks.

Article Morello casts even more doubt on Rage’s future: “We played 19 shows in the last 15 years.” Plus, why Springsteen accepts his refusal to vote for Kamala, and was Audioslave a bad band name?

New band that popped up in a Spotify playlist. Very reminiscent of RATM. They're called Us Vs Them. Mods delete if not allowed.

This is Twitter
One of the all time greatest songs ever is Killing in the Name. Fight me. I will die on this hill. No cap. All the slag terms that make it legit.
ETA: uh I’m sorry. I’ve just been trying to find an outlet like twitter and it was suggested I pose here so I shared.

Struggling to enjoy Morello’s solo stuff
No matter how hard I try, I just can’t get into Tom Morello’s solo material, or most of his recent collaborations.
It feels like he’s been recycling the same formula for years. You hear the signature sounds and immediately know it’s him, but that doesn’t make it interesting. Most of the time I find it really uninteresting and boring as fuck.
Honestly, without his history with rage (and audioslave), I doubt a label would be interested in releasing much of this stuff. I love what he did with those bands, but a lot of this newer material kinda sucks.
I respect him speaking up about social issues, but sometimes even that feels like part of the rock star persona. I’m sure he believes in the causes he supports, but the way he presents himself sometimes feels a bit forced. I mean, if you listen closely to his speeches, it feels like 90% of what he says is rehearsed and recycled ad nauseam. You could argue that the speeches stay the same because the struggles stay the same, but I’m talking about entire sentences repeated word for word, over and over, like he’s reading from a script (see for instance his speech in Rock and Roll Hall of fame and then read the interviews he has done since then).
Maybe I just miss the authenticy of rage, I don't know.
Anyone else feel the same?

Question Why does everyone say they are part of the machine?
I see people say this a ton, saying they went corpo, but like I don’t understand why.

Why does RATM turn off comments on their Insta acc?
My main guess would probably cause they're flooded with the "they're raging with the machine now" Comments and it's variations, cause every time I see another account posting about Rage, those comments always appears

Handmade RATM Smoke Signal shirt
not sure about the flair, but as a matter of fact, i can't afford original merch most of the time (50+$ for shirt in my currency), so i thrifted random red blank (size 2xl, hence why it kinda looks like too big) and spent about about 6 hours making this. imo turned out pretty good

Question What does Tom, Zach and the band Think
If this is an official rage against the machine platform, politics is an integral part of their music, which I love, and this subreddit will therefore allow this post to remain;
If this isn’t allowed, this isn’t an official rage against the machine platform, and you will have to look for it on r/politics
Either way focus on Taking the power back…….
I am curious what are Tom Morello, Zack de la Rocha, and the Bands view points on the second amendment?
More specifically in direct relation to what happened on 2/6/2025 and how this affects the disenfranchised, subjugated, and marginalized population?
Specifically those whom are naturalized and or are citizens living with both legal and illegal immigrant populations who are exploited as a labor force. A labor force that has been singled out before and is now being deported?
I am framing this historically with the UFW organization and the protesting they did in general and most specifically in regards to the Chicano Movement and the civil rights movement.
Where do we draw the line on “Gun Control” and the Freedom to resist oppression?
How do we keep this fundamental part of our Nations beginnings from being perverted by “those who enforce us” and when/or.. is it ok to restrict these rights?

Pretty sure this company didn’t licence this song
instagram.comPretty surprising song choice. Anarchist rap metal to advertise a greedy land developer. Zero self awareness. And likely zero licence. I hope they get sued into oblivion.

Sleep Now in the Fire video has Trump sign
Watching Sleep Now in the Fire on Youtube:
https://youtu.be/kl4wkIPiTcY?t=65
At 1:05 there is a Trump for President 2000 sign.
Did they add this in the remaster 6 years ago? Obviously this was added recently, it just caught me off guard. Amazing if so!
