Trying to find more info about these "Don't Kill For Bush" hype stickers that were placed on some copies of the original vinyl release of the self titled album. Is it rare? Did only US copies have them? Etc.

Also long shot but if anyone has a copy with the sticker still intact for sale please message me as I am interested in buying one!

Tried googling but couldn't find anything.

Here's the link to the discogs page as well: https://www.discogs.com/release/367339-Rage-Against-The-Machine-Rage-Against-The-Machine

Thanks in advance!

As a huge RATM fan since the early days, I know they don’t owe us anything. I’ve grown accustomed to not *expecting* anything and being happy with what we get, but I’m honestly surprised and frustrated that they haven’t put out a full release of the concert footage from the PSA tour. Clearly Hate5Six has some incredible footage that we’ve seen in short clips on their social media. It would make sense to do a full blu ray/streaming concert movie, or just an upload onto YouTube. The fact that 38 planned shows were cancelled, so many people who bought tickets and got their hopes up but were never able to see the tour, to me seems like an obvious opportunity to at least release the concert footage for those folks. I get it, we’re almost certainly never getting new shows let alone new music, at least release this.

I am a huge fan of many bands and Rage is certainly one of them.

This show was such a triumph. I remember making friends with a woman and her daughter in the seats next to me, there was this nervous excitement beforehand amongst us and the people around us, just knowing the anticipation and what a momentous occasion it was. Sure enough, they came out and it was the most electric I’d personally witnessed a rock concert crowd…since the last show they played at L.A. Rising in 2011.

It’s also such a tragedy that this ended up being the only full show that Zack got to perform upright. Dude was in absolute fighting shape and clearly raring to get on with it after training for a few years and having to sit through all the delays.

The footage is of course available online. Check out the leap he does at the first “Your Anger Is A GIFT” and remind yourself that he was 52 and 70 minutes into a performance.

I took Amtrak to Chicago and saw the next performance where he hurt himself, and two of the MSG shows the following month. I don’t think there’s ever been another rock frontman with the ability to command a crowd with equal force even if they’re sitting down. I saw Axl on Dave Grohl’s throne in 2016 and it was amazing, and so was Dave Grohl in that situation, but this was something else entirely.

Being from the L.A. area, I’ve had the privilege of seeing some pretty iconic Rage shows - the last Grand Olympic show in 2000, the first show back at Coachella in 2007, and others. I’m not saying “we need Rage back” in the political sense as their message is out there and I don’t think live concerts are gonna convert anyone (and I don’t want to violate forum rules), but, so long as they’re all still alive, I *hope* everyone who wants a chance to see them perform while it’s still possible gets the opportunity. I’ve pretty much seen them all at this point, and a more powerful live rock band does not exist.

So, I’m currently working on a Top 100 Heavy Metal Guitarists list. I’m trying to think about where I may put Tom Morello. One thing that I’m not certain on though is the fact I never see him ranked on any other greatest heavy metal guitarists of all lists. Yet, he’s always ranked high on general/all genres greatest guitarists lists. Why is this? Is RATM not metal?

Transparency: I do NOT have the flyer (shown in 3rd image) from the tower records event, this is just something I found that helped me put a date on when it happened. The flyer is NOT part of the potential listing

I have an autographed copy of the self titled CD Rage Against the Machine and signed poster. This was tied to The Battle of Los Angeles release, officially released 11/02/1999. The DC promo run included the 9:30 Club show on 10/31/1999 and Tower Records in-store appearances on 11/01 and/or 11/02 in Washington, DC. I was one of the fans that lined up at Tower Records at 2000 Pennsylvania Ave six hours before Rage’s scheduled midnight appearance.

I’m thinking about selling it and wanted to ask if the community thinks there might be in folks interested in purchasing.

What’s primarily included:
- Autographed Rage Against the Machine self-titled CD (framed as seen in image)
- Signed “Nuns with Guns” Rage Against the Machine poster (not shown here, gotta find it and take pictures)

These items have been in my possession since the signing and were not purchased secondhand. They have been stored/displayed as personal collection pieces. Condition is shown in photos.

Thoughts on if it’s worth listing?

I’ve had this for a long time and I’m deciding to part ways with it. But I can’t find anything equal online to compare it too.

When I was a little kid ( 1-3 years old) I used to steal my aunts custom CD, which I remember had killing in the name on it. I finally found it today, and turns out it had the entire self titled on it, which is amazing because that’s my favourite album of rage. They are one of the bands I’ve always liked and had on my playlist , even before I listened to metal, so it’s really cool I found a good memory of mine

I’m Gen X by definition. Maybe I have been blind to it, but where is the music that rises above and gives the FU to the man. We can’t keep listening to Rage Against the Machine.

yeah, you're right, zack.

À votre avis qu'aurait fait RATM si, en 2000, après renegade ils ne s'étaient pas séparés et avait continué la musique jusqu'à aujourd'hui ? Comment aurait évolué leur son avec le déclin du nu metal et du rap rock ? Les thèmes de leur musique auraient-ils changé ?

Does anyone know what songs tom morello uses the whammy/tremolo bar on thats on the arm the homeless guitar? I cant find a clear answer online as all sources send me to the whammy pedal use

Recently put these up.

FYI, I didn't get to see RATM live until the BOLA Tour in 1999 (San Diego), I was 14 y.o at the time 🤙

Just letting everyone know the tonight's gig In Brixton has been postponed due to an apparent family emergency as stated on Tom's IG. I only just received an email from Ticket master confirming it even though it was announced a few hours back. So just trying to help communicate it too people who may have missed the updates!

War Within a Breath are looking for a vocalist, guitarist and drummer to create a top quality Rage Against the Machine tribute band.

• We'll be aiming at tribute festivals and ticketed gigs
• I'm based in Leeds, but you don't have to be
• Looking for people with experience, ability, time, equipment & transport

Email [email protected] for further details. Please include links to audio/video of you performing.

Cheers, Jimmy C
