I saw Rage Against the Machine last night at the garden. I've never been a diehard fan at all and have just kind of enjoyed their more popular stuff.
HOLY SHIT. They blew me away. Not having heard their music in what feels like 15 years, they stepped up and annihilated a great set list to a very responsive crowd. Zach has a broken foot so he sat on a road case for the whole set, but that didn't lessen the intensity. Since Morello had to change guitars every few songs, there were these 2-3 minute segments where a slow-mo visual of a police officer with a robot-dog and a german shepherd staring down the lens, with this delayed synth bad-dream sound pumping through the arena. Those breaks were very interesting and added much needed contrast to the relentless pounding of their songs.
A friend gave me a ticket the day of and I was honestly not too amped up to go see them, but I highly recommend trying to see them if they come to you.
Their music feels more relevant now than ever before.- Sings you’re getting old thread********
