Prophets of Rage On Their New Self-Titled Album

Prophets of Rage (Tom Morello, Tim Commerford, Brad Wilk, Chuck D, B-Real and DJ Lord) came together during 2016’s tumultuous election to combat the coming storm. Fresh off the road and riled up following last summer’s highly successful “Make America Rage Again” tour, the group knew it could evolve from protest performance art with a tactical mission, to a stand-alone entity with creative ideas all its own. At its core, Prophets of Rage functions not only on a love of music, but a deep belief in its power as a tool, and a weapon. The group stopped by the BUILD Studio to discuss their new self-titled album.

[@DSkehan2004]

Should’ve been careful how much bullshit we’ve put in change.🤷🏾‍♂

[@EPJamesMacAdams]

Now comes the debut full-length, Prophets’ first collection of 12 original compositions that manage to be unflattering to literally everybody involved: Chuck, B-Real, Tom Morello, the rhythm section, producer Brendan O’Brien, you, me, the American discourse-everyone.

[@BigWill2k]

EPJamesMacAdams apart from the lyrics, the production is the worst thing about it!

[@moonkef]

You have to hope that just like Jimmy Page forming Coverdale Page, it is said this made Robert Plant get back with Jimmy for the Un-ledded project - maybe this will make Zach come back!

[@MysteryPuke]

It won't. Zack is on another consciousness level compared to either ex RATM member.

[@jonsumber4878]

Y ZACK DE LA CHOTA??

prophets of $$$$$$

[@MysteryPuke]

Also Also, why protesting only against Trump? Was Clinton better? Was Obama better? Were they flawless? This transforms the Prophets of Rage into the Profits of Rage,

[@mikesvensson]

ehhh...Tom said it pretty clear that the democrats aren't any better. During Obama's years as president Tom also made it very clear he wasn't a fan of him

[@gabyhudson2181]

i think you lost the RATM era, right?

[@Nick-bi2xd]

@@gabyhudson2181 Everything about the republicans is horrible democrats talk too much

[@p1ysaucedo]

They protested during the entire Clinton era, did that go competely over your head? They don't much like Obama either.

[@cmltoe100]

These guys forgot who "The Machine" is if they hate Trump. Its one thing to rage against the machine (DeepState) or be a prophet of rage against them, but its an entirely different thing to take them on when you didn't have to for the benefit of the common people who cant do it for themselves.

[@MysteryPuke]

For me it's simple. Tom Morello is looking for the next RATM band. He totally swallowed his beliefs by going out with non political Audioslave, just for profit. Now, after that he tried with Boots Riley the Street Sweeper Social Club (the best effort in my opinion, mainly the Ghetto Blaster EP) , he tried by himself, and now it's this Prophets of Rage. For the record I like the songs, I just think that there will not be another RATM like band. And Tom, TIm and Brad have to understand that making these political songs will not bring them huge profit, on the contrary. They have to decide between money and political intervention. RATM was a one off. Also, this guy Tim Commerford, yes well normal people fighting against injustice, is constantly out there defending the fraud called Lance Armstrong. A guy that symbolizes power, corruption and sickening attitude. So what the hell is he on?

[@mikesvensson]

of course he does in the sense that the world needs a soundtrack for the revolution and he's applying for the job. has NOTHING to do with money. also, they are not trying to be ratm 2, it's a new band with its own identity

[@daanpauwels2280]

Just the four of them were better. This is a mess although i like each individual in the band.
