Rage is a highly political; highly volatile band. They do not separate their extremism from their music. Their passion for radical left causes directly impacts their songs and how they do business. For example, they would not sign to a major label unless they had complete creative control. In 2000, they shut down the NYSE during a video shoot. It would be more difficult to get away with their shenanigans if they did not have talent. Rage is one of the last guitar bands and one of the pioneers of metal’s next generation.
Rock n Roll Moment: The video shoot for “Sleep Now in the Fire” caused Wall Street to close and the band to be escorted from the the NYSE.
Essential Rage: Rage Against The Machine (1992), The Battle of Los Angeles (1999)
