Drove all the way to NYC to see them with Run the Jewels after the pandemic. 100% worth it, one of the best shows I've ever been to.
Tim Commorford is weird to watch though. He kinda hops awkwardly from foot to foot.
-
They need to release one new song, it would be appropriate. Don't let the fascists win.
-
Why are all of their songs still relevant 30 years later?
-
Because humans are fucking stupid and history always repeats itself.
-
The same reason socialist theory is still relevant 150+ years after it started
-
It's so disappointing to hear Killer Mike spit revolutionary lyrics like in 'close your eyes' only to find out IRL he's into lame shit like black capitalism.
-
Yeah. The music still slaps though.
RATM's bassist is into some weird fringe right-libertarian stuff too if I recall
Nobody's perfect

If Trump & his supporters are fascists, then they already won cause somehow Democrats thought supporting genocide of Palestinians was a good way to beat fascism.

Killer "pro-cop" Mike?
-
or they changed. 30 years is a long time.
their debut was released
- 3 years after the fall of Berlin wall
- a year after the dissolution of USSR
- 9 years before the September 11 attacks
- 15 years before iPhone
- 24 years before the election of a reality tv entertainer/real estate conman was elected as POTUS
- China wasn't a superpower back then
- EU didn't exist in its current form
- Apartheid was still an actuality
- internet wasn't omnipresent

Good example:

Rage 2022 in Cleveland.
-
I saw them in Cleveland on that tour. Zach had hurt his foot so he sat on the monitor speaker the whole time, but the rest of the guys made up for it.
I paid a LOT of money to get good tickets, and it was 10000% worth it. Iād never seen rage live and figured I might not get to again, so spend the money. Also Iām an rtj fan.
-
Because the problems they raged about are systemic, and the system didn't change.
-
All of this has happened before, and all of it will happen again.
-
Because nobody actually listened to what they were saying 30 years ago.
-
I was at the Chicago show where he hurt himself going pretty hard.
Actually got it on video too
After he sat down for the rest of the set he sounded amazing. Great show.
-
I didn't know they were so WoKe!!
-
Until conservatives and authoritarians stop getting their way.
