Rage Against the Machine n'en démord pas

Sep 13, 2008, 3:24am Le Goûter du Mercredi

Rage Against the Machine toujours énervé. Invités à un festival, les californiens arrivent en retard ; le service d'ordre n'a pas voulu laisser RATM monter sur la scène du festival. Il suffit de peu pour allumer la mèche. Du coup c'est a capella et au mégaphone que Zack de la Rocha et sa bande font passer leur message. Rage Against the Machine n'a rien perdu de sa verve : Bulls on Parade + Killing in the Name of . Rage vidéo . là. [...]

Anti Flag rouses the crowd with their hard-hitting punk sound Photos by Justin Andert The Ripple Effect started out as a peaceful, oppression free day of propelling a new wave of action outside of the RNC on the lawn of Minnesota's State Capitol in St. Paul. There was a full day of artists who preached ideals of peace, love, unity, and reform. Check out a photo album of the day: Chris #2 (Barker) sings in front [...]

Rage Against the Machine (and their fans) have been extra busy this week at the Republic National Convention and doing just like their name said they would: they're "raging" against the "machine." The protests began Tuesday, Sept. 2, when the band attempted to play on the lawn outside of St. Paul's capitol building. Police quickly pulled [...]

Rage Against the Machine go a cappella in St. Paul

When Rage Against The Machine attempted to play a left wing rally at the Republican National Convention this week, local authorities weren't so sure it was a good idea and shut the show down. While a proper permit was reason enough to ensure Rage couldn't play a real show, the band responded by holding a breakout a cappella session.

No dejan tocar a Rage Against The Machine en el RNC de Minneapolis (miren el video)

Sep 4, 2008, 9:20am Cuchara Sónica

La policía no le permitió tocar a Rage Against The Machine en el RNC en Minneapolis como headliner (no estaban anunciados) porque consideraban que se armarían muchos problemas porque, según ellos, la banda "invoca" a la violencia en sus conciertos. En el video se lo puede ver a Zack de la Rocha haciendo un discurso increíblemente alentador explicando que lo único que ellos hacen es cantar en contra de las guerras injustificadas y que sólo son cuatro personas de Los Angeles haciendo música y luchando por sus ideologías y tratando de [...]

Rage Against the Machine & the RNC - Bulls on Parade

Sep 3, 2008, 9:04pm The Stranger Dance

This is ugly. Rage Against the Machine was meant to give a "surprise performance" at the Ripple Effect Day Festival yesterday, but were barred from the stage by state troopers. The Minneapolis/Saint Paul Star Tribune quoted an official claiming RAtM were prohibited from performing because they were not included on the festival's permit, however the Ripple Effect website reports that the permit "held no artist-specific provisions." In an inspired moment, Zach de la Racho and Tom Morello entered the crown and performed a capella versions of "Bulls on Parade" and "Killing in the Name" complete with Morello "playing" [...]

CSS - "MOVE" I am strangely drawn into this video--most youtube embedded musik vids are only worth 5-20 seconds of ur time. The song is OKAY, but I am pretty drawn into Lovefoxxx's delivery style/what she is wearing. Is she a good singer/does that matter?

Rage Against the Machine a cappella

Sep 3, 2008, 7:43pm egoeccentric

Rage Against the Machine where set to give a rare performance at Target Center in Minneapolis on Sept. 3, which not so coincidentally was the same week as the Republican National Convention in St. Paul. But the band arrived close to the 7 p.m. curfew time and without a proper permit, so police would not let them perform. This, as you would expect, resulted in a few disgruntled fan in the crowd and a chant of "fuck you I won't do what you tell me" When it became clear they they where not going to be allowed [...]

Photos by Jon Behm Those concerned that Rage Against the Machine + Republican National Convention = nothing but trouble can rest a little easier, at least for now. While the band won't take the stage for its big proper gig at the Target Center in Minneapolis until tonight, a daytime performance yesterday (September 2) on the lawn of the Minnesota State Capitol went down relatively chaos-free-- mainly because it [...]

Rage Have Their Power Cut, Use Their Mouths Instead At The RNC

Sep 3, 2008, 10:57am Stereogum

Today we finally get to know what a crowd of people doing a cappella versions of Zack de la Rocha's protest songs sounds like. It goes something like "bow-bow-bow-bow-chikka-chikka -chikka." RATM turned up in St. Paul to perform a short set at 6:30PM yesterday as part of the Ripple Effect music festival, set on the lawn of the Minnesota State Capitol building. As the Star Tribune reports, though, "the band arrived close to the 7 p.m. curfew time and without a proper permit, so police would not let it perform." (The Tribune goes on to quote an [...]

Rage Against The Machine Take On The Cops, Electricity [Political Song For Everyone To Sing]

Sep 3, 2008, 10:30am Idolator

Yesterday, a free Rage Against the Machine show outside of the Minnesota state capitol in St. Paul that was scheduled to coincide with the Republican National Convention—which is taking place in that city—was shut down by local police, who claimed that the band couldn't play because it was going to take the stage too close to the show's 7 p.m. curfew, and besides, Zack de la Rocha and his pals didn't have the proper permits to perform, even though the rest of the festival apparently went on without incident. This year's RNC, like the ones in 2000 and 2004, has [...]

While most democrats were avoiding The Republican National Convention like a plague this week, the fellas from Rage Against the Machine headed up to Minnesota to do what they do best -- cause controversy. The politically charged foursome were set to perform just outside of the RNC yesterday, but were blocked from taking the stage by the Minnesota State Police. In pure bad-ass form, the band used the opportunity to address their fans with an informed rant followed by an a capella sing along. Above the Fold caught it all on tape:
