"I never realized how similar the philosophies of The Police and Rage Against The Machine were. Stewart Copeland would take these reggae-style verses that were heavily emphasizing the 3, and then in the choruses he would kind of switch it over to the rock 4/4, and it was really cool and interesting. Rage Against The Machine took hip-hop styles and mixed that with hard-rocking choruses quite a bit. So I thought it was a similar philosophy in that way."

I like Rage but only in small doses.
Tom Morello and the music itself is great IMO but Zach de la Rocha's voice gets on my nerves after a while.

Soundgarden > Audioslave

Rage Against the Machine > Audioslave


well, at least they (Rage) didn't put out a bad album.

i'm a big RATM fan...i think they were just kidding when they said they should be more political...

I'm saying if you've heard that solo and still think hes a bad guitarist then theres something wrong with you.



You certainly need to listen to more RATM, its like you've only heard their singles. I wouldn't call them all radio friendly. Especially on Battle of Los Angeles, where I think the riRAB and solos sync up with the songs much better.

Either way your reasoning is bad. OH NOES THEY JUST DID A DRASTIC TIME CHANGE THIS IS BAD.

Obviously not a prog fan.



Have you ever heard Hendrix play an acoustic? I sure as f*ck haven't.

And Hendrix made a big use out the wammey bar and techniques that really only work on electric, so he probably wouldn't be as great on accoustic either. For the most part electric and accoustic guitar are two very different instruments with different purposes.

Besides, I'm assuming you didn't know this but Tom Morello actually has a folk music career under the stage name The Nightwatchman. His acoustic playing is actually pretty good.



Hes not, if you actually knew anything about him you'd know he's actually pretty capable without the need of pedals, he uses them to enhance his style and add to the music. Apparrently that is a bad thing.



I sure did. :afro:

^ Always wanted to use that one.
