Make America Rage Again
June 6, 2016 6:05 PM Subscribe
What do you get when you combine the lead vocalists for Public Enemy, Cypress Hill and Rage Against the Machine? Why, you get the brand new supergroup Prophets of Rage. And now with their inaugural show at Whisky A Go Go last week behind them, they've now announced a touring schedule. First stop? Cleveland, July 19th.
This is like the day in the back of the bus in third grade where we came up with the idea of putting all of our favorite action heroes in a movie and it being awesome.... thirty years later The expendables disappointed...
Now this is being done with music. the thing is, every single one of these guys is talented and creative and committed. this isn't fishing for a paycheck... So yeah, this is not the expendables... this is establishment anger unleashed.

Whyyyyy is our summer shed so fucking far away from the city and why does anybody play there? It's miserable. I have this internal battle of Want To See The Thing vs. Want To Get Home Before 2 AM.
Still, I'm tempted.

No Zack, don't care. And I have PE and Cypress Hill and RATM on cassette, and still sing the lyrics to all of them from time to time. Zack's voice is needed here, and it's pointless for me to go forward paying attention to this without him. I am so disappointed.

If the video on their website is anything to go buy, this is a second-rate RATM cover band, even if it does feature 3/4 of the actual members of RATM. Hard pass.

As near as I can recall the last time I went to a big concert it was RATM. It was in a 6000 seat basketball arena. New Orleans Lakefront Arena, which was built in 1985 or so. A modern steel concrete arena.
The audience jumping up and down and screaming were moving the building in a vibration that I swear was a good three feet in amplitude. I thought the damn building might fall down.

Oddly enough I have seen both Public Enemy (ZooTV tour) and Rage Against The Machine (PopMart Tour) open for U2. And saw Street Sweeper Social Club open for Nine Inch Nails and Jane's Addiction on the NIN/JA tour. I think any opportunity to see Tom Morello play guitar is something that should not be passed by. I might go see them in Sept when they hit the other side of my state. (What's 300 miles of travel for a good show?)

I don't think that anything comes close to the pop dissonance of Jimi Hendrix opening for the Monkees, unless it's the fact that one of the acts at Woodstock was Sha Na Na.

Oh, oh! "Age Against the Machine," like that "remove a letter from a TV show title" post the other day: over-the-hill rock stars and rappers leave their boring day jobs for One Last Tour to try and stop an evil real estate developer from stealing the presidency. Along the way they discover that their anti-"machine" message still resonates with today's youth, and on the tour bus they find... true friendship.

I remember people I knew in university during the mid-90s being annoyed by all the Boomer-era acts still touring at the time (and now!); they'd get pissed off when I told them that in 20 years it would be our bands' turn on the nostalgia circuit. Oh yes, our generation was going to be different for some reason.

^^yup. All this stuff felt a little edgy to this then-pre-teen, then at some point in my twenties I realized that it could all be co-opted just like the Sex Pistols. Pushing forty, I now think everything sounds like a rip-off of something else, and am reminded of some old man telling me something similar in my youth, presumably before yelling at a cloud.

I always thought Audioslave should have been called Rage Against The Garden.
And lay off Faith No More - they released an album last year that blows most bands half their age out of the water. I know America wanted them to make The Real Thing again 29 times but their best work came after.

One day, (barring genetic or environmental causes) You will be this age too.
I find this thread hilarious, and I'm about two years younger than B-Real (also Zach de la Rocha, seeing as people are riffing on Rage more generally). Chuck D is is the only one in the band who's more than about 5 years older than me - any agist jokes in here are at my expense as much as anyone else's.

We have a saying in my family, brought out at birthdays and whenever someone is complaining about getting older: "Well, it sure as hell beats the alternative!"

'This age'? Dude, I'm 34 and I have been listening to the House of Backpain's albums for some time. The Deaftones too, although I couldn't hear much of it.

I'm totally this age, are there people in here who were born after the early 80's? Where are their parents?

My teenage daughter would be totally up for seeing these guys live but she's an odd child who also lobbies to go see Morrissey. de la Rocha is less than a year older than me and old age jokes aside, mad respect that he can still tour like this. But one bad cheese platter from the local caterer and they'll totally be KMFDM-o-pectate.

I saw Bjork on the weekend. She is 50, and she still rocks like she did when she was in her 20s, except her weirdness is far, far deeper, multifaceted and more subtle now. And damned if she doesn't still look 25.
It was also the most eclectic crowd I ever saw - 20 year old club kids, 35 year olds that listened to Bjork when they were 20 year old club kids, 60 year old avante garde art aficionados... all in the same room, rocking out to the same music.
When it comes to music, age 'aint nothing but a number.

prepmonkey: Does Comcast just own everything at this point?
Nah, just the naming rights, along with Verizon Wireless (Amphitheater, Atlanta, GA), Sleep Train (Amphitheatre, Chula Vista, CA), Gexa Energy (Pavilion, Dallas, TX), Sunlight Supply (Amphitheatre, Ridgefield, WA).
The first name that caught my eyes was Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre, which exists in both Tinley Park, IL and St. Louis, MO (but there are at least two more locations in the US).
The fact that they're playing these venues + selling through Ticket Master makes me think their rage is just as impotent as ever. Nostalgia bummer.

I'm concerned that some of these might fall outside of the correct 90s alternative milleu.
Oh, you say, but does Public Enemy itself not fall outside of the 90s, being a going concern long before many of these people learned the joy of shouting over a big crunchy beat heavy noise?
Well, I say... It was grandfathered in.
