THE BEST FUCKING BAND TO EVER WALK THE FACE OF THE EARTH. A politically charged revolutionary band fueled by the searing riffs of Tom Morello, the bumping bass of Tim Commeford (aka. Tim Bob, Simmerin' T, Y Tim K, and variuos other aliases), the dramatic lyricks of Zach De La Rocha, and the awesome drums of Brad Wilk.

A group of Harvard grads who got together and made one of the best bands ever. They sung about poltical shit in a way that made you think. They made grat music. They broke up and made Audioslave.

"People of the Sun" is their best song. Long Live RAGE\!\!\!\!

4. (Rage Against The Machine) (617↑, 181↓)
Popular rap metal band of the 1990s consisting of vocalist Zack de la Rocha, guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Tim Commeford, and drummer Brad Wilk. Broke up in 2001 and changed into [Audioslave]. Known for their left-wing political views (and lyrics), and for instigating the [nu-metal] genre of the late 1990s. Unlike most modern nu-metal bands, however, they included many traditional heavy metal techniques such as guitar riffs and solos.

If you are an anarchist or are just angry with the system you live in, then Rage Against the Machine is the band for you.

I'm guessing that the "corporate whore" remark got voted off of here already. Fucking excellent. RATM is the greatest group I have ever heard, bar none. If I could choose only one band to listen to the rest of my life, RATM would be it. As for using a major record label, I find in more ironic than bad that they use a corporation to produce and sell their anti-corporate message. Otherwise, they would never have spread the word so well as they have. Just to bad they split up. It blows worse than anything could.

"RATM has th most talented guitar player in the world"

1. v. To rebel, revolt; To actively or passively fight society or the government. 2. v. One of the best and biggest bands of the 90s; in this respect, comparable to [Red Hot Chilli Peppers]. They are the other (see [Korn]) band that led to the [nu-metal] explosion of the late 90s. The band is known for its extremist militant left-wing liberal lyrics; in fact, RATM was formed to promote the message of a badly-needed rebellion. They are commonly hated by conservatives and feared by [soccer moms]. They have been accused of using their popularity to promote a liberal agenda among fans; to those people I merely say: THAT'S THE POINT OF THE BAND, YOU [FUCKWIT]. The band was composed of driving force, [frontman] and [rapper] [Zack de la Rocha], fantastic bass player Timmy C, guitarist extraordinaire Tom Morello and the incomparable drummer Brad Wilk. Timmy, Tom and Brad have since joined with the former lead singer of [Soundgarden] and become [Audioslave]. Rage Against the Machine have a completely unique sound. Rapped lyrics accompany guitars with riffs and solos typical of [metal], the bass has a heavy influence on the music, resembling [funk], and the drums are reminiscent of [hardcore punk], but best described as [psycho]. They also have a very raw sound when compared to most [nu-metal]. The first album, slef-titled, bears the disclaimer NO SAMPLES, KEYBOARDS OR SYNTHESIZERS USED IN THE MAKING OF THIS RECORDING. Rage Against the Machine [sold out], a severely disappointing fact. Since then, the band has divided, leading to [Audioslave] and the solo career of [Zack de la Rocha]. Zack, unlike [Audioslave], keeps the intensity and spirit of rebellion in his music.

1. Don't listen to the lies the government tells you, man. Rage against the machine. 2. Don't listen to the lies the government tells you, man. Listen to Rage Against the Machine.

Rage Against The Machine is the best band to ever have sat foot in this world - their music ain't just some crap they made up like shitty pop music; their music means something and it is politically inspired. They were a great band and it was a dam shame they split-up. Their music makes you think and that shit is important\!

"Tha gut eaters, blood drenched get offensive like Tet Tha fifth sun sets get back reclaim Tha spirit of Cuahtemoc alive an untamed Now face tha funk now blastin' out ya speaker, on tha one Maya, Mexica That vulture came ta try and steal ya name But now you got a gun, yeah this is for the people of the sun" - for those who don't know 'Tet' (the Tet Offensive) was a big attack which took place in the Vietnam war and a lot of people died.

8. (Rage Against the Machine) (130↑, 33↓)
One of the most successful rock bands of the 1990's. They defined the nu-metal genre, with an invigorating blend of rap and rock. Now, to the downside: RATM was signed to the "evil empire": Epic Records -- the RIAA lawsuit wielding, spyware cd distributing crooks they rail against in their songs, making them millionaires in the process - how's that for irony? They also introduced the worst fad in decades: "Che Guevara" t-shirts. The man spend his life fighting against capitalism, and little teenage punks buy overpriced t-shirts with his name on it because they associate his image with "rebellion" or "standing up for the people," when they haven't read one history book on his life. Ignorant RATM fans can downvote this all they'd like, but they still have true fans, like myself, who enjoy their music and their overall goal of raising youth's interest in politics, but realize that they're just as backwards as every other corporate whore band.

Dumb Rage against the Machine fan: Dude, why are you hating on them, man? They're totally not corporate whores\! Me: Can you not see that "EPIC Records" logo on the CD, tard? Epic Records has also signed Jennifer Lopez and Celine Dion...how's that "raging" against the machine?

A band that while had talent, were a quartet of the biggest hypocrites in the music industry ever seen. These clowns hated capitalism and raged against the machine, but failed to notice they were signed to a major label, which is the machine, and were filthy rich, which is how capitalism works. They were activists, but as we know, thats the greatest way to market to the idiot fans who think they are oppressed when they live in the suburbs.

Rage Against the Machine stole your money and laughed all the way to the bank.

10. (Rage Against The Machine) (153↑, 78↓)
Politically charged rap/rock band from the 1990's. Known best for their leftist/radical political views. Often considered hypocrites due to appearing many times on MTV and selling millions of albums on a major record label.

Rage Against The Machine, the worst rock band ever that ruined Christmas only because they think that we dont really like X Factor winners and we are brainwashed. I was getting bored of X Factor winners getting Christmas number 1 but really couldnt they have picked something nicer? RATM, a rockband hardly anyone has ever heard of until late 2009, they are angry losers who shout and swear and sing about killing in their only really known song "Killing in the name" I think most people probably believe they where just a one hit wonder. To all the people that gives this thumbs down are just miserable losers that like Rage.

Rage Against The Machine. Real music fan: How could something so miserable win Christmas number 1. Rage fan: Because it rockz, I just love music full of screaming, swearing and death. Real music fan: sorry but ill just stick to pop as its not miserable, as the world already is miserable.

12. (Rage Against The Machine) (163↑, 110↓)
After reading the definitions here, the most overrated fucking band ever. Or at least in the top 10 overrated of the 90s. Stupid ass lyrics, criminally overrated dumbass guitar player (make a bunch of noise and get praised\!), and just generally nauseating. Absolutely NOT A METAL BAND. What the fuck is wrong with you people?

Rage Against the Machine are a group of overrated pseudorevolutionary turds.

13. (rage against the machine) (135↑, 82↓)
A Karl Marx-inspired band formed in the early 90's, broke apart sometime in the year 2000. One of the most succesful political modern rock bands, and progenitors of the 'rap-rock' movement. Some of their music videos were directed by controversial filmmaker Michael Moore. Credibility is sometimes challenged, however. Tom Morello, guitarist of the band, claims to be a Marxist advocate but owns a number of expensive Cadillac automobiles at his LA home.

Self-titled, Evil Empire, Battle of Los Angeles

14. (Rage Against The Machine) (112↑, 107↓)
Also known as [Rage] or [RATM] Hard-rock/hip hop band formed in 1992. Members included [Zach De La Rocha] (vocals), [Tom Morello] (guitar), [Tim Commerford] (bass) and [Brad Wilk] (drums). Famous for being one of the few rap-rock bands that actually had talent. Combining De La Rocha's dynamic leftist vocals with the grinding sound of Commerford's bass, their 1st album, the self-titled "Rage Against The Machine" was a huge hit in the USA, and featured large amounts of airplay. The band was criticised by their decision to sign for EPIC records, because of their anger towards large corporations, however Tom Morello stated that without a major record label, they wouldn't be able to get their message across to as many people, which was really their target. The song "Wake Up" was featured on the credits to [The Matrix], and the track "Killing In The Name" is on [GTA: San Andreas]. In 1996 the band released their second album, "Evil Empire", which debuted at \#1 on [Billboard]'s Top 200 in America. The album's title draws on a label, "evil empire" used by former U.S. President Ronald Reagan and many Western conservatives in describing the former Soviet Union. The band released "Live and Rare", a mixture of live tracks and non-album covers, in 1998. In 1999 they released "The Battle of Los Angeles", once again reaching the top spot on the [Billboard Chart]. It featured the tracks "Guerilla Radio" which was on [Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2], and "Calm Like A Bomb" was on the credits of [The Matrix Reloaded]. The album has a much heavier sound than what was featured on their 1992 and 1996 offerings. Many Rage fans dislikled this, as it was felt that the band was moving too far towards the [Nu-metal] genre. Zach De La Rocha also felt this, and after releasing "Renegades", a CD of covers of various artists, he left the band. He was also fuelled by the incident at the [MTV] awards in 2000, after which Tim Commerford spent a night in an LA jail. Many people believed that Rage split up over a row about money, but whatever the reason, at least they finished when the still had credability. "The Battle of Los Angeles" wasn't a poor album, but it was nowhere near matching their self-titled debut. Had they have made a bad album after "The Battle of Los Angeles" then they might not still be as popular as they are today. Morello, Commerford and Wilk joined with ex-[Soundgarden] singer, Chris Cornell, to form Audioslave. They are currently writing their third album after two very good releases. Their first album, "Audioslave", reached the \#7 spot on the Billboard charts in 2002, whereas "Out Of Exile" debuted at \#1 in 2005.

The teacher stands in front of the class But the lesson plan he can’t recall The student’s eyes don’t perceive the lies Bouncing off every fucking wall His composure is well kept I guess he fears playing the fool The complacent students sit and listen to some of that Bullshit that he learned in school From Take The Power Back, Rage Against The Machine (1992)

(3/4 in an ok band called audioslave) RATM are one of the most under rated yet greatest bands ever, anyone who says they never did anything to change things obviously has no clue wat there talkin about, protests, rallies etc yes they may have sold records but in the capitalist world the only option (sadly is money) they got noticed due to this. Rage rule anyone who says otherwise needs there head examined. nuff sed\!\!

Oh ye put on sum rage ye rage kick ass

Millionares who became rich by telling us all how much they hated capitalism. Many of their fans fail to realise that the band and its record label are a big part of the very 'machine' they claim to be 'raging against'. See [hypocrite] or [Michael Moore].

I will admit that their songs are good though.

17. (Rage Against the Machine) (156↑, 186↓)
A leftist rap/rock group from the 1990s who sang about the evils of capitalism and corporate greed, then made millions and broke up over money. See also [hypocrite]

Fucking immense band. Everyone with any sense of rock music should listen to RATM. They rule. Shouldn't have broken up so early, but still made 4 quality albums.

Rage Against The Machine rock. Tom Morello is a legend and genius. If you only think they are good because of their lyrics just listen to some of Morellos guitar solos : Kick out the Jams, Know your enemy for example. They are musical genius. If anything they are highly underrated

Only good rock-rap hybrid. It does not matter if you support their politics or not, you can't deny that they make good music and in the end thats the most important thing.

Rage Against the Machine, arguably once the most powerful and culturally-relevant societal activist group, used the popular contemporary 'thrash rock' genre of music as a vehicle to attempt to create a broader consciousness of issues pertaining to the mass-media, the power of corporate coercion and the conditioning of Westernised society to create complacency; ultimately allowing for the centralisation of power amongst the fascist State and multi-conglomerate corporations such as the WTO and partisan mass-media organisations such as CBS; the collective Machine. RATM was genuinely unique to the Western media current through their strongly rhetoric lyrics and the formidability of their music. Perhaps what could be seen as tragic; RATM disbanded at the beginning of the new Century, commonly cited as being due to political differences. Zach de la Rocha, who was evidently the bands most politically aware and zealous member, was often said to have despised the path the band was taking into commercialism; a Western symbol of control which they had always struggled to fight. Regardless of RATM's downfall, it is generally agreed that the effectual footprint of the band has led to a general intellectual and conscious awakening for a generation born into Twenty-First Century; who are seemingly predestined to a bondage to the will of today's powerful media giant and the fascist State. Zach de la Rocha's political mind-set in the time of the band's apex, and indeed in general, is comparable to that of intellectual Noam Chomsky; who (although marginalised by mainstream media outlets and by the federal state and who is predominantly left unrecognised) is today's most important figure of political dissidence and intellectual disillusionment.

"So sick of complacence now." _Rage Against The Machine

(v.) To hide the fact you sold out rather well by saying "Fuck the transnational record company that is paying me lots" and calling it "lyrics". (n.) 90's band who captivated audiences with catchy tunes and a communist agenda. Those who are not tools of the liberal media will notice that thier lyrics and political ideas are absolute shit, while they are highly marketable because the average metal fan goes through a stage in thier early teens where they believe communism will save the world from the people they hate.

"Fuck the rich coporations" is what the say, but they end it at giving [head].

Rage Against The Machine were a kickass band that combined rap, rock, and even funk together in their music and often sang about pro-liberal ideas and rebellion, and their music is often hated by simple-minded soccer moms and conservatives who have no taste in real music. Despite breaking up in 2001, this band left behind a huge legacy, and influenced many of the nu-metal bands that exist today(Linkin Park, anyone?).

I wrong when I said earlier that Linkin Park is the only good band to combine rap and rock. There is another: Rage Against The Machine

Beat the X-Factor finalist Joe whats his face to the Xmas No1 spot in 2009, all thanks to Jon and Tracey Morters epic Facebook campaign to get their best known song "Killing in the Name" to No1 in the Xmas charts. As a big thankyou they put a free gig at Finsbury park in London June 6th 2010 with support acts such as The Gallows, Roots Manuva and Gogol Bordello. The gig it'self was awesome and Rage handed over a cheque for over £130,000 from all their Xmas sales to Shelter, a charity for the homless which the Facebook campaign also raised over £100,000 for as well

Okay kiddies, get your fucking facts right, although Rage Against the Machine did hate capitalism, and the corporates, how the fuck else are you suppose to make money? Or even get your songs out, most of you ignorant assholes haven't listened to all their songs, they ARE not communists. And Rage Against the Machine is against the white power whores and racism, dumb fuck heads, every last one of you... Maybe if your heads weren't half way up your ass and you were mature enough to listen to the lyrics, and most likely have common sense, then you would. Rage Against the Machine is NOT communist, by any means, what so ever.

Rage Against the Machine was a rap-rock band that formed in the early 1990s and broke up in 2001.

One of the most overrated bands in history. They got popular because they pushed left winged propaganda as shallow as the water in my toilet. Same as the Sex Pistols. That band 100% fucking sucked ass. They just got popular because they where so rebellious, something kids in their teenage years seem to love. They also introduced the Che Guevara image to the kiddies. So we should thank them for the fact that people wear this cold-blooded murderer piece of shit that luckily got executed on their shirts these days. Tom Morello was their lead guitar player, also way overrated. I hear that people call him the 'best guitar player ever'. Again, total bullshit. Hendrix, Van Halen, Gilmore and Jimmy Page's shoes have more talent then this guy. If you played the guitar yourself, you'd understand. All his neat solo's sound cool because they come out of stomp boxes you can buy in every music store. Really. This guy has the biggest effects chain i've ever seen. This band proved that you don't need talent to become famous. If you make music that takes a piss on the govnerment and is left winged in general, there is a way bigger chance of success than if you acually have talent, but don't write songs about politics. "greatest band ever?". Yea right. Led Zeppelin, RHCP, The Beatles, The Stones, Aerosmith, Van Halen, Pink Floyd, The Who, Tony Joe White, The Zombies, Tom Petty....(i could continue forever) Happen to forget about those?

Shit kid with Che Guevara t-shirt: Rage Against The Machine is the best band ever Me: No, they weren't. If you think that, you deserve to get hit by a freight train.
