Rage against the machine

Anybody listen to rage against the machine?

me, they're amazing.

I really want to go to reading and see 'em :(

the thing i find with rage against the machine is that even tho tom morrello is hailed as one of the best guitarists ever, all he can ever do is that stupid high pitched sound he does on all of the songs. if you dont get me, ill try and find it on youtube or something like that

They're alright, couldn't listen to a whole album at once though since all the songs sound the same :l

it's incredibly innovative, and it's not all the same, he a lot of techniques. i know what you mean, but there's a few compilation videos, you can see all the different stuff he does. i love guitarists who can make a guitar not even sound like a guitar, like tom morello, jonny greenwood, graham coxon, or issac brock in the early modest mouse days. its way more interesting than all the textbook scales that heavy metal bands think is impressive, which really isnt at all.

and rage against the machine is probably one of the only bands who can get away with having every song sound the same since the purpose of their songs are the politics, haha.

opensourcehost is a very big fan ;)

Wow, that is the first time I have ever heard someone say that.

He is incredibly innovative, and they are REAL political activists, unlike some artists (greenday).

Well yes but Greenday have their place I think and have come out with some good songs. I am more interested in the art of song-writing than being politically motivated I guess which is why I prefer AudioSlave. It's all pretty subjective though and people's tastes and preferences are so different as to what is good and what is not.

green day is two words. and there's no real criteria for being a "real" political activist. you can just say you are or you aren't.
