*Sorry 4 uzin txt shorthand and poor punctuation, grammar etc., i'm in a bit of a rush!!!*

Ok, u should all know by now (especially if u've red any of my rage related posts) that I'm nuts about rage against the machine.....despite the fact that they've split up! I've been tryin 2 get a Rage tribute band 2g4 4 a while now, and I've finally found a local-ish vocalist and drummer who are out tryin 2 do the same thing. SUCCESS!!! Actually no. As u would expect, they've refused 2 take me on as lead guitarist. Not because I'm not good enough, but because i'm not at all in2 the politics side of Rage. I'm just in it for the music! (and yes i do know how chessy that sounds!). After all, that woz the whole point of rage, the politics bit, which is y audioslave r nowhere as big as rage were: 90% of rage fans were in it 4 the politics...i think. Since this is a dream come tru 4 me and i really want 2 get this band goin, can NE1 recomend anywhere i can get some info on left-wing politics from, or woteva it woz that rage were all about.

Cheers!

no offence like but if you're such a big fan, shouldn't you know 'what rage are all about'.

BTW I'm a big fan too, would love to have seen them live, although I think it's likely you'd get crushed to death by the ludicrous fans :D

Watch some of their videos, such as "No Shelter" and "Sleep Now in the Fire". Read Michael Moore. Look at their lyrics. That'll do for startes.

I understand that you used txt spk because you were in a rush...but why the hell do people say "woz" and not "was". That's not shorter, and it looks stupid.

*Grrrs*

Anyway, can't help you, sorry.

Not got a clue about the band, suffice to say that politics is in all music, just some hide it better than others. Unless a band is great, then what they stood for, what they said, is forgotten within 10-20 years at best, most a lot sooner.

... nothing to do with audioslave only having 1 album at present then?? give them time!!!

i'll put money that the number of rage fans in it just for the politics is a LOT less than 90%
i agreed with them on certain issues they fronted (tibet for example) but i liked rage because they were a very, VERY good band... politics or not.
