Rage Against the Machine reuniting -- what do you think?

I think it's a good thing. Chris Cornell is better alone...he is a real showman and I like Tom Morello more in Rage than in Audioslave..

Im glad to hear this I think Rage was a great band.I hated to see them break up.I like Audioslave too though.

I've heard that news today, I was talking about in another discussion. I think It could be great and I suppose after the live concerts they will do a new album or maybe a live new album, who knows. I liked Rage Against The Machine even if I don't like when there is too much politic in lyrics. My favourite songs are killing in the name, sleep in the fire, and other ones I don't remember...It's been a lot of time I don't listen to them.

I'd like to see it! They were one of the first concerts that I ever saw! I also saw the Roots at that concert as teh opening act, who knew how big they would've got! On a side not I was looking for some concert tickets and I saw Coachella tickets on Ebay selling for a few hundred more than the original price lol!

I think it would be fantastic if Rage Against The Machine got back together. I used to be really into those guys, they were cool. That would mean the end of Audioslave though, wouldn't it? Unless they'd be doing both at the same time... That would be even cooler.

To hear this news is music to my ears. I've always loved RATM..they get their crowds going at concerts and their music pumps me up like no other. I think it's a very big deal and it's not surprising seeing as they're a political band and our troops aren't even close to coming home yet. In all honesty, though, they're probably not going to go far with their recording or touring. Van Halen tried it, and since the band excluding Zach de la Rocha collaborated with Chris Cornell to form Audioslave, I think they're happy where they're at now.

really, i didn't know that. then its great! i have been a big fan of RATM..so much meaningful lyrics. well i think this is not for good maybe just a get together and nothing more cause from what i know tom morello is not really in to how zach writes song.. too much politics. anyway, thats a great news.

Hey, that's good to know!;) I've been a fan of Zach dela Rocha eversince, I missed that guy so much. It would be nice to hear them sing their songs again, like Gorilla radio, Bulls on parade and Sleep now in the fire to name a few. I guess it would just be a reunion, Zach would be just glad to play infront of a crowd and say thanks again to them.

Thats awesome. Rage Against the Machine are the reason I enjoy playing music so much. When I first started playing bass I would learn riffs from Rage songs and eventuall the whole songs, and I enjoyed it a lot better than playing other stuff. Also its pretty fun to jam to when your playing bass and your friend is playing drums with it. Good way to practice the Bassist to Drummer connection(very important for a band). But I'm glad to see them coming back, and I hope they stay together because I liked the edge that Zachs vocals added to the group. Sure Audioslave were good, but they were missing the energy sometimes that I know thoes musicians can accomplish if they tried.

Ow cool, didn't know about this! Thanks for the update. I think it's great, but I'm curious if they are going to make a new album. Audioslave was a great band I think, also live, but maybe you could saw it coming, are there already comments by band members or Chris Cornel?

I think this isn't really any special news, I never liked them as band, neither the causes they live up to, nor the side of the political spectrum they fall into. I think this Coachella re-unition is just an ocasion for band members to make a big cash flow and then go back to their lives with more money. I wouldn't get my hopes up...

hi idlewild. i think it is great that they are re-forming. i am a huge fan of their music and think that ' killing in the name of.' was one of the best tunes ever recorded by an artist. the guitarist was unbelievable with his originality on most songs. alot of the time you would hear different sounding instruments but he was creating them all on the guitar somehow. i hope they will be recording and touring again and will definately be buying a ticket for their gig if that is the case.
