(bass); Brad Wilk (drums).\r\nAdditional personnel: Maynard James Keenan (background vocals).\r\nEngineers: Stan Katayama, GGGarth, Auburn Burell.\r\nRecorded at Sound City, Van Nuys, California; Scream Studios, Studio City, California; Industrial Recording, North Hollywood, California.\r\nRAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE is a collection of live concert videos and uncensored versions of 5 original videos.\r\nOn paper, Rage Against The Machine reads like Beavis, Boogie Down Productions and Butt-Head: an angry and enlightened rap frontman who preaches a multi-cultural alternative to what they teach you in schools and show you on TV, backed by a funky heavy metal rhythm section whose vampage and riffing pay direct tribute to the likes of the Edgar Winter Group and Led Zeppelin.\r\nBut there's no sense of fusion here. Neither a metal band toying with rap nor a rap group fronting as a rock band, R.A.T.M. is four guys who were never told that there's a difference, and who don't care to know. The knowledge-is-good-but-schools-are-bad rap, \"Take The Power Back,\" gives way to a metal instrumental bridge; and the guitar that introduces the Martin\/Malcolm\/Cassius homage, \"Wake Up,\" pays its own tribute to Zeppelin's \"Kashmir.\" The closest spiritual--but not stylistic--reference point are the alternative raps of the Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy; and Rage's \"Bullet In The Head\" may be the best song about TV since the Heroes' \"Television, The Drug Of The Nation.\"\r\nRapper Zack De La Rocha has a thin voice that sounds more like a bored suburban thrasher than an inner-city rhyme animal, but his lyrics are something else altogether. Rising high above the nihilism of both hard-core rap and punk, he offers not just good slogans for a t-shirt, but the promise of a system to replace the one he's bent on destroying. His is a revolution with a purpose.","brand":"Rage Against The Machine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44581455495401,"sku":"L6WHPI-LT3C-00","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Rage-Against-The-Machine--Rage-Against-the-Machine-180-Gram-Vinyl-Import_JuQGn.jpg?v=1740173344","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/rage-against-the-machine-rage-against-the-machine-180-gram-vinyl-import","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
