"Help needed (RATM politics)"

*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!

Nooooo! Not again.

I like Rage. This person who created this topic is surely a bit silly though.

Ine-San has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

haha. GO SHEEPU!!!!!!!

Damn commies

... 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.

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.

*mark

curse my retarded fingers.

should've been a question mar after "was" there.

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.
