Rage Against The Machine
| Biography |
The name says everything to it on Rage Against The Machine . The aggressive fusion of guitars "metal" with rates of hip-hop constitutes an appropriate drop curtain of bottom for the rapeo of letters violent, controversial and loaded politically, treating subjects like the miseries about the marginal districts, racism, the censorship, the propaganda, the difficult situation of the American native Indians and many other questions, in an attempt of the band to offer something more than mere entertainment. Formed in Los Angeles (Californian, the U.S.A.) in 1991 by Tom Morello (natural of New York, the U.S.A.; guitar, ex--Lock Up) and Zack Of the Rocha (natural of Long Beach, California, the U.S.A.; voice, ex--Inside Out), with Tim Commerford (under) and Brad Wilk (natural of Portland, Oregon, the U.S.A.; battery), Rage Against The Machine signed an important record with, very important contract, creative control on the base of a autoeditada scale model and some impressive performances in direct initials. Later, they made concerts with Pearl JamBody Count, Tool and Suicidal Tendencies. During the tour with these last ones, the band had problems with the French government because of t-shirts in which it appeared an original illustration of the company explaining how to make a Molotov cocktail, extracted of documents made for the rebels of the Con Nicaraguan. The t-shirts were confiscated and destroyed by the French customs service. More ahead, the group published its first work, with its same name, including diverse subjects of his first scale model and with an impressive photography of cover of a Buddhist monk burning itself to bonzo in protest by the war of Vietnam. They jumped quickly to the fame, and Henry Rollins described them like "the group more to the last one of the U.S.A.". The album was everything a success in both borders of the Atlantic, and Rage Against The Machine obtained a great result with the simple "Killing In The Name", although to of the Rocha a version for the radio did not do any grace to him to which palabrotas had taken off him all and that "completely destroyed the intention of the song". A triumphant tour by the United Kingdom it followed a quiet protest against the PMRC (Parents Music Resource Council, the group that labels discs with explicit letters in the U.S.A.) in the appointment of Filadelfia of the tour of the Lollapalooza festival. Evil Empire was another album of success, that arrived until number 1 of the lists in EE UU. Subjects as intensely the politician "Vietnow" and "Down Roundup" showed the band at their better and more powerful moment, whereas the incendiary "Bulls On Parade" became a simple one of transatlantic success. Beyond the tacos, are some of the most honest letters and intense than they were gotten to compose in the 90. After another length receso, the group returned in November of 1999 with The Battle Of Los Angeles. Without turning aside hardly of impronta of its two previous discs, the album fans obtained a warm welcome on the part of his, but it was rejected by its detractors, that considered that the band did not have anything new that to say. Of the Rocha one retired the following year, after making a last appearance with the group in the disc of Renegades versions.
