About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Rage Against the Machine released this self-titled DVD in 1997. The disc collects live concert footage and music videos of some of their best material. Rage Against the Machine starts with a passionate rendition of Bruce Springsteen's "Ghost of Tom Joad" live from the Irvine Meadows in Irvine, CA. The well-filmed performance captures Rage near the top of their game. (Will listeners ever see a collection that includes the concert from the Democratic Convention?) Seeing Zack de la Rocha interact with a large crowd and the band work a tight, incendiary groove is required to understand the appeal of the now-defunct political rock band. This is underscored by "People of the Sun" and four other songs live from the Rock Am Ring Festival in Germany, where Rage plays before what must be 100,000 people. Rage Against the Machine also includes three songs from the 1996 Redding Festival and a blistering "Killing in the Name Of" from the 1994 Pink Pop Festival. The second half of the DVD is filled with six music videos, including "Freedom" and "Memory of the Dead (Land and Liberty)." Overall, the quality of the video is fine, but the music mix is low and a bit muddy. This is a problem for viewers who want to understand every word de la Rocha says. But there is a lyrics function, which is like subtitling. What musical crispness they lack in concert, Rage makes up for in intensity and energy. The real plus of the collection is that the videos are the uncensored versions, so getting this collection is not like replicating an MTV experience. The best moment of the DVD is a concert appearance by Tom Morello's mother, who plugs boycotting record stores that censor albums and introduces the "best band in the f*cking universe: Rage Against the Machine!" A must-own for fans of Rage Against the Machine and a useful 80 minutes for people who are complacent politically. ~ JT Griffith, All Music Guide All Music Guide

April 11, 2006: just like I said...this has to be their greatest album. "Take the Power Back" and "Know Your Enemy" had the most effect on me.

May 21, 2005: Rage Against the Machine is the greatest band to have ever come into existance, they fused Socialist politics with old school rap (I normally hate rap) and 70's heavy metal. The result was brilliant. Rage and a couple of other bands, are one of the few rap-metal bands that are actually good. By the way, Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park are extremely untalented and overrated. Zach de la Rocha's rhymes and message is as powerful as that of Malcolm X's or Vlad I Lenin's, Zach and the other two (but especially Zach) inspired my needed distrust and dislike for capitalism and the American dream. Chester Bennington and Fred Durst can't compete!! Tom Morello's rap-inspired metal guitars will make you bang your head non-stop. He can lay out "regular" guitar solos (such as in "Take the Power Back") and his signature "video game" effects (check out "Killing in the Name"). He's today's equivalent to Jimi Hendrix if you ask me. Timmy C.'s bass lines will shake the life out of your speakers. He's a really creative bass player; he can make his bass sound like a guitar and he'll make some really weird and funky beats unheard before. Let's see Linkin Park's bassist beat Tim!! Tim is up there with John Paul Jones and Flea. Brad Wilk can play your average R&B drum beats and convert to heavy metal drum solos within one song without sounding out of place (not an easy task). Brad kicks LP's drummer right in the butt and keeps him down!! Rage was one of the true anti-pop groups. They made huge profits, but they used their money to help their cause by funding political groups they sympathized with (such as the EZLN and Leonard Peltier National Defense Commitie). Back in 1992, Rage blew everything else out of the water, they gave 100% on every song. Here's the grades. Bombtrack: 10/10. Killing in the Name: 10/10. Take the Power Back: 10/10. Settle for Nothing: 10/10. Bullet in the Head: 10/10. Know Your Enemy: 10/10. Wake Up: 10/10. Fistful of Steel: 10/10. Township Rebellion: 10/10. Freedom: 10/10. Total: 100/100 A hard-earned A. Unfortunatelly, Rage broke up and this vomit-enducing super group named Audioslave formed. Their "easy-listening" vomit for music by no means is better, let alone equal to the material found here. Forget Audioslave and stick to the brilliant Rage Against the Machine.
