Rage Against the Machine - Ghost of Tom Joad (Live Korea)


Great News, Rage is back together!!!
If you have never heard Rage, you've missed some of the best protest music ever. You might not like the combination of rap lyrics and metal, you gotta listen to the words. I first heard Rage on a free cassette sampler of their first album and I was hooked. Zak de la Rocha's revolutionary lyrics brings to mind Chuck D from Public Enemy and Tom Morello's guitar playing is so much like Metallica. However, together their sound is original and compelling. Their stage show is something else again. I featured their video Freedom, that they dedicated to Leonard Peltier, earlier on the blog. Its great to see them getting back together. We need revolutionary music now, more than ever.
