RATM can take 10 yrs off and come headline Coachella with no new music... that’s power!

[@NotoriousCRG27]

I love how old school Morello is holding the mic. Best band I have ever seen live. And you constantly hear positive fan stories about Tom. "Some of those who work forces are the same that burn crosses" RATM lyrics are still as relevant today as they were in the 90s

[@Davenport81]

You’re a cookie cutter. Next

[@TheGulfCoastDrummer]

I’d call that proper mic technique. Not old school. Haha.

[@ersonvelasco2531]

Tom Morello’s wisdom of music as a progression of he’s passion is really inspiring...

[@deathbringer4813]

Their songs will always be on my playlist. Timeless music.

[@chriscallahan7431]

If you get the chance to see RAGE live , def go! What an intense show! Incredible band... They are needed today!

[@miggy78]

Idk how Zach does it and/or did it 2ith his voice. I saw Rage in Houston the year before they broke up (the 1st time), its the only show where I was singing along and shouting so hard i lost my voice for like 19 days...lol. So worth it!!!

[@jeffbone8475]

Never in history has the world needed a band more than we need RATM now. More relevant and important then ever!

[@Ricardo-kz6mf]

💯💯💯

[@ikon8275]

I couldn't agree more I'm so f****** pumped for them to come back!

[@tonypalombo3679]

Yes Sir, the world Needs Rage now!

[@TheLK157]

More Rich dicks telling poor people what to... no thanks

[@spinblackcircles]

I met Tom morello once in the beer line at the Vic theater in Chicago once at his own show. Steve Earle opened for him and during his set I went to get a beer and fucking Tom morello is just standing there waiting to grab a 312 and there was no one else around at the moment. I was in shock for a minute but I shook his hand and told him I was really grateful for the music he’s made. He was cool as shit, and put on a great show as the nightwatchman after that. Cool story, I know.

[@imoutbye]

Similar experience but at Disney land with his family. I was within five feet of him fir several minutes. Tempting to ask for a photo or something but thought that would be tactless with him trying to enjoy the day with his kids. But just being in Disney land of all places and Tom RUGHT there. I get the experience.

[@darshin95]

Three 10/10 albums and then a covers album, I love that

[@royfablooo2810]

RATM was one of the best bands on the 90's, their sound is unique, produce music unlike any other. And it baffles me, they have not yet been inducted on The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

[@notapplicable328]

Especially with Tom morello being a part of the hall of fame induction committee

[@johnknouse8846]

Talk about lightning in a bottle! That band came out and was so unique. Their music will be relevant in 100 years!

[@anonymous2457]

Until we end capitalism

[@gilliss6]

Tom Morell is awesome. Could listen to him talk and share stories all day.

[@ENigma-um8zw]

So glad to have seen them live in 2007/8 it was amazing. I was looking forward to seeing them again this past year but alas. Rock N Roll will live on!

[@MovieSceneDeepDive]

His voice is so deep and professional sounding. I’d love to hear him sing

[@joshjenner9486]

Go listen to Interstate 80, it features Slash too 🤘

[@spinblackcircles]

He has a bunch of records where he sings check out the nightwatchman

[@Wiseone123]

Evil Empire one of the greatest rock albums of all time.

[@jonm6244]

The first album is so perfectly mixed that speaker companies use it to test equipment

[@georgedavidson2024]

Not as great as their debut album though

[@Fakename70]

@@georgedavidson2024 The debut was ahead of its time for sure. But, the Great Leap Forward from that to EE was unmatched at any other point in their career, and was one of the most phenomenal progressions between a debut and a sophomore release in rock history.

[@jameselliker]

That’s a good shout, man. I think it eclipses their debut. It’s a real album, it feels more thematic

[@chilly6470]

Totally agree. It has aged even better than the first album. I aways preferred Evil Empire though.

[@saintsataniko2116]

RATM is/was one of those rare bands that could play a festival for 50,000 people and generate the sort of energy you'd feel in a tiny club. You could feel electricity crackling in the air before, during, and after they were on stage.

[@thrutheveil74]

Yes indeed. Supernatural experience.

[@kevin_dasilva]

Albums are like snapshots in time, quite literally. Even if the album has no "concept" behind it at all, just the fact it was most likely produced with all songs made in the same time span imprints a specific quality to the final product that is irreplicable later on.

[@mejohn101]

what are some of your favorites? or whats blowing your mind now?

[@williambartholmey5946]

*figuratively

[@leggythe4th399]

Rages’ Debut record is a beauty 👌🏻🎤🎸

[@kansasgoldilocks]

Wow, that was the quietest Howard has been in any interview I've seen. Tom was on a roll and he dared not interrupt.

[@admiralthex]

Love that photo on Toms wall. Him and bruce playing ghost of tom joad at was it the rock and roll hall of fame? Great set.

[@user-jc5lf6sf7g]

How is he pushing 60?? Legend. Met him once -- super nice guy.

[@riffhousestudios96]

Really??

[@terriperry6291]

Dude were just not in high school anymore. My kids are going to watch me watch 2pac like I watched my dad listen to leonyrd skynyrd. Can you imagine Florida with bunch of 80 yr olds in golf carts blasting eminem? That's where were headed. Then the kids get to college and suddenly discover "old school" music and it's hip again. A human tradition older than time. So.you can eat my bass kids show you how it's done!

[@lipsticklezy]

56 going on 57 in May .... not 60 yet ..... I say this because I can relate. Not quite 60 ... yet.... lol js

[@lldjwhyteell]

Yea I met him too, back in 2007 when he was playing one of his Nightwatchman shows

[@kansasgoldilocks]

60 is the new 40. I swear. My mom and aunts look great and they're all in their early 60s.

[@buckybeen1]

Damn, TM is a rare cat, so outrageously talented.

[@andregiacomini4145]

Zack de la Rocha is one of the, if not the most underrated mc of all time

[@paule2978]

Too bad they couldn’t all stay on the same page over the years, the hiatuses have been brutal.

[@j05h43]

I second this statement 🤘👍

[@andregiacomini4145]

@@j05h43 man he is overlooked just because rage is a "rock group". People sleep on this man's bars smh, and he has them for daaaaays

[@pullyourluck]

being born and raised in chicago and tom from evanston, if i am not mistaken is wondeful. what is even more wonderful is in the half dozen times ive seen RATM. His sweet 80+ year old mother walks out on to the stage to introduce them.. "ladies and gentleman. get ready for the best fucking band in the world......RATM."

[@Danny-fs1hk]

Morello! And he played a role in the first Iron Man film 🤘🏾

[@joeallen4587]

Just heard the other day how there’s no one making music today with the attitude of Rage and it’s true. I was really hoping they would reunite for the new Matrix trilogy for old times sake. That said I’ll listen to Tom wherever he’s at, the dude is an actual genius.

[@markoutwithmark]

Rage is needed now more than ever!!

[@peterleep4102]

We need Rage in these strange times!!

[@rickfrye9525]

I still remember the first time I heard their first album when it came out. I felt like I had been waiting for it and I just didn't know it

[@Stefnmaddy]

Love him. Super talented.

[@eatmoremusic3650]

Tom was the reason I picked up electric guitar in 2003

[@brianingell3174]

it's rare where howard has to listen instead of talk......

[@kooskansloos4834]

I went to a Prophets of Rage show, expecting it to be ok, since they were all legends... It was one of the coolest shows I've ever been to. I loved the classic rap songs and of course the RATM classics. But man, the place was lit. The band was so tight. The guys were radiating energy and power from the stage! I liked the new songs too.

[@link7278]

Yes indeedeeeee!!!big the rock rage!!!bring us the REAL music !!we really need it!!!! Love you ... Even if you don't read this!!

[@allison.guy6673]

I love Tom’s show on lithium. His mom is great.

[@dannylapensee9553]

Give us a new ratm album all ready we need this now

[@SunscreenAL]

There is no band that ever generated more energy in a live show than RATM. None. Don't believe me? Check out Testify Live at Finsbury 2010. It's a click away.

[@thrutheveil74]

Agreed. Saw them live twice. Words can't explain the intensity and sheer power of those for dudes.

[@JustinTNAWWEGuy]

Soon i hope RATM play and go on tour

[@toolrammsteindeftones]

[@pseudoty]

Was supposed to see them last summer at Firefly Festival but like everything else canceled.

[@somedude2384]

Rage Against The Machine are one of my favorite bands from the Nu Metal scene. No one wasted time and told exactly what was on their mind at the time.

[@samod7550]

Rage came before Nu Metal. They were one of the main key influences that created it.

[@chilly6470]

Evil Empire is where it's at. Just for Tim Commerford's bass lines alone!

[@IsaacAndrade666]

i looooooooove RATM and have been lucky enough to have seen them a few times. NOW he agrees that RATM should come back? not 2 yrs ago he was 'yelling' at fans on twitter that if they needed RATM back then they should start his own band.

[@fernandok7645]

RATM sound its unique...

[@coleplastaras2712]

Album#4 please

[@santoslhalper6116]

Fuckin Tom Morello. That's a big guest

[@13christbane]

I need a RATM/TOOL co headline 2 day music festival with other random kick ass support acts.

[@rumham3070]

It's actually a great thing that Rage Against the Machine broke up in 2000. Had they been critical of the US Government or the President after 9/11, they would've been critically panned. That's what happened to the Dixie Chicks.

[@rustzz8]

I hope we can get enough people vaccinated to hold the show in June!

[@p.m-audio]

what you preaching man has nothing to do with Rock n Roll, you only help divide the peoples and helps politicians, to get their goal. rage, means against the system. so no vaccine for me. fight for the right things

[@GrimmyGrim]

you can take mine.

[@rickfrye9525]

Sounds like a giant collection of Lab Rats

[@stronghold500]

Fools follow rules when the set commands ya! ✊🏻✊🏿✊✊🏽

[@dominicidecorvus]

Sorry there's so many idiots rustyz8. Because of them we probably wont get to see rage live anytime soon. I wish people would realize that this is a human health issue and not a political one.

[@Brian_yeah_that_brian_Strang]

Has anyone anywhere seen Tom Morello without a ball cap.

[@pauliewalnuts829]

Politics can get annoying but I always dug RATM. They nailed what metal and hip hop should sound like combined.

[@LivinRob]

Musicians are just people. We don't need your politics or opinions.... Just your music. That's what we paid for.
