RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE REUNITING FOR COACHELLA!!!!

[everlast1986]

I'm fucking hyped for this shit already. All 3 days look crazy.

Musician Saul Williams has suggested that de la Rocha left the band because he did not want Renegades to be released, and the rest of the band wanted to put it out against his wishes. Those three members sought out separate management of their own and managed to secure the immediate release of the album. On October 18, 2000, de la Rocha released the following statement:

“ I feel that it is now necessary to leave Rage because our decision-making process has completely failed. It is no longer meeting the aspirations of all four of us collectively as a band, and from my perspective, has undermined our artistic and political ideal. I am extremely proud of our work, both as activists and musicians, as well as indebted and grateful to every person who has expressed solidarity and shared this incredible experience with us. "

This is fucking incredible news.  Is there an official statement or something?  Now I know this doesn't necessarily mean the end of Audioslave by any means, but I had found it pretty interesting that Chris Cornell was doing a solo album again, and that Tom Morello was supposedly doing a solo album as well.

If Rage is actually at least reuniting, this is some of the best music news I've heard in years.  I'm really gonna hope that they get back together and do some new music again.  I think Chris Cornell is top 3 lead singers in the last 15 years, but for some reason I really lost interest in Audioslave.

I bet it's cause the result of the soundgarden/ratm hybrid is cold in nature, peep: Cornell's music is more warm and heart-ful, whereas rage's music is more cold and brainy if that makes sense. at least that's how I feel, it's a worthwhile combo, they're good artists, but it's not as addictive as rage's shit or as soundgarden's shit. cornell has a pretty dope solo album though... didn't know he and morello were doing solos.

why did ratm part in the first place again?

-T

Yeah, those descriptions fit pretty well.  All are outstanding talents, and did make some very good songs together.  Their first album was very good for the most part.  But as time went on, it just started going in a direction that didn't interest me as much.

The international music community is in for a showcase performance from former Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello at SxSW in Austin, Texas this March.


Morello has recorded his debut solo album under the moniker The Nightwatchman and will perform songs from the album at the Austin music conference and festival.

Tom aka The Nightwatchman will release 'One Man Revolution' through Epic Records on April 24th, according to a posting at his website.

The album was produced by Brendan O'Brien and features 13 songs, with Tom playing acoustic guitar and singing lead vocals for the very first time.

Morello has been road-testing the material in residency at the Hotel Café in LA since November. The shows have become not only a place to be seen but a place to see many of Morello's friends including musical mates Serj Tankian of System of a Down, Perry Farrell of Janes Addiction, Den-Dog of Cypress Hill, Jon Foreman of Switchfoot, as well as Shooter Jennings, Jill Sobule and Nuno Bettencourt.

Morello's website says upcoming guests at his shows will include Ben Harper and Butch Walker.

The upcoming release of The Nightwatchman album has thrown the future of Audioslave into question. Lead singer Chris Cornell will release his second solo album soon, effectively putting Audioslave into hibernation.

Former Rage Against The Machine singer Zack de la Rocha has remained low-key since leaving the band in 2000. Only a few solo songs have surfaced over the last 6 years, being 'We Want It All', produced by Trent Reznor on Songs and Artists That Inspired Fahrenheit 9/11 and 'Act III Scene 2' on Saul Williams' self titled album.

He has performed on a number of occasions with Son Jarocho group Son De Madera including an appearance at the Save The Farm rally in California.
