#rage against the machine
Run the Jewels offer a joyful vision of the future filled with burning piles of cash and big group dance numbers in the new video for “Ooh La La.”
The video was directed by Brian and Vanessa Beletic, and in a statement, RTJ said: “This video is a fantasy of waking up on a day that there is no monetary system, no dividing line, no false construct to tell our fellow man that they are less or more than anyone else. Not that people are without, but that the whole meaning of money has vanished. That we have somehow solved our self-created caste system and can now start fresh with love, hope and celebration. It’s a dream of humanity’s V-DAY… and the party we know would pop off.”

It’s almost the year 2020 so who doesn’t love the 1990s (apart from anyone who actually had to live through it?)
What better way to celebrate your cultural irrelevance than by celebrating those classic 90s bands from the 90s like Wheezus, Guns And Roses, Space Girls, Nine Inch Nines, Daft Funk and more???

In the years after the break up of Rage Against The Machine, singer Zack De La Rocha was interested in making a solo album. He reached out to Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) and the two began working on songs. For reasons not quite clear, the solo album was never released. Out of the twenty songs Trent and Zack collaborated on, only one has seen the light of day.
This song.
I’m going to say this and then run away from Tumblr as fast as I can while my account gets put through the grinder but I’m getting really really really tired of seeing stuff boiled down to “white people bad”.
And before you get started I Get why this happens and why people say these things. I don’t even necessarily disagree. I’m just a little burnt out about hearing how horrible, awful, evil, and irredeemable white people are and how they need to be eradicated. As someone who’s white (or at least white presenting and lives a white experience) I’m not going to pretend like I LOVE hearing my friends talk about how much they hate white people. I get it. I’m not going to tell them to stop, my feelings don’t matter more than theirs, but gosh do I wish they wouldn’t say those things? Of course.
It’s just, I KNOW, why people feel that way. Hell, I feel that way when I speak to my family who still lives on our tribe’s reservation, but even despite all that I refuse to agree that turning hate speech towards white people is the best we can do for moving the conversation forward.
As a woman of color, I’m going to tell you right here that I understand where you’re coming from and I appreciate your honesty.
The truth is, there are good and bad people in every race, every ethnicity. I’ve run into my fair share of white people who are totally amazing (like my white friends whom I love with my heart and soul) and BIPOC who are downright awful (like the radfems of color). My Chinese mother is colorist, antiblack, homophobic, and ableist, and she is as much a product of her environment as anyone else.
The fact is, we all got stuff to unpack and things to deconstruct. None of us are islands. We are all products of our environments and we all grew up exposed to everything that comes with a capitalist society. None of us are free from those influences. Unless you’ve spent your whole life living in a cave off the grid, you’re not free from them.
What needs to be done is we all need to do the work. We all got shit to heal. We all got responsibilities to take, and accountabilities to hold ourselves to. And we need to keep doing these things, and then keep doing these things.
Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine and Adam Jones of Tool during their high school days. They went to the same school, were in a band called Electric Sheep and Morello’s mother was Jones’ homeroom teacher. According to Jones, Morello was a shitty guitar player back then but started practicing and practicing in college and became what we know him as
Okay but can’t stop thinking about how much Eddie would love Rage Against the Machine when they form in the 90s
Bam, here’s the plan
Mother fuck uncle Sam step back I know who I am
Raise up your ear, I’ll drop the style and clear
It’s the beats and lyrics they fear
The rage is relentless
We need a movement with a quickness
You are the witness of change and to counteract
We gotta take the power back
Tom Morello, from Rage Against the Machine.

King Crimson’s Robert Fripp and Toyah Willcox Cover Rage Against The Machine’s “Killing In The Name”
King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp and his wife, the actress and singer Toyah Willcox, are back with the latest entry in their ongoing “Sunday Lunch” series of cover videos.
This Sunday, Fripp and Toyah cover “Killing In The Name” by rap-rock legends Rage Against The Machine. It’s not the duo’s usual flavor of cover, but definitely leans into the recent political activism they’ve featured in…

Audio: Rage Against The Machine Rehearse for Their Upcoming Tour
July sees rap-rock rabble rousers Rage Against The Machine kicking off their long-anticipated North American tour. Now, the band have posted audio of them rehearsing for the tour, which you can hear below.
And we’re into it! One might be worried that this far into his career, Zack de la Rocha wouldn’t have his same punchy delivery, but if anything, his vocals sound like they’ve got a bit more…
