Revisited this week and thoroughly enjoyed some seriously juicy guitar "scratchin'"!
A bit too political in places but awesome all the same...
Opinions would be welcome! |

Yeah, ain't that an excellent track. The way it builds up to the 'I won't do as you tell me' - real youth stuff...Cobain must have been envious! |

They were incredible back in the day. Saw them lots of times going back before the first album came out. EVen though they were one of the greatest live bands EVER I couldnt really get into the political side and lost interest by the time the 2nd album came out.
I have a bunch of flyers that are still painful to look at but when I was a poor jobless junior college student: Tool/Rage Against The Machine at Club With No Name April 1992 $5 - I didnt have $5 plus bus fare. |

I always liked them. Tom Morello is a great player-very unique. Too bad they called it a day.
Great band, great album. |

along with the pumpkins, the only band i gave a shit about in the 90s...
music with real passion and conviction - so what if they self-destructed.

RATM!
great bandand this record is a bomb,the band was the godfather of fuZZZZZZZzzion!
bombtrack, freedom, killing in the name were anthems of the 90's!
Morello and Zack de la Rocha are incredible, such a shame the band split a few years ago...and to be honest, Audioslave first EP was a massive deception for me...
please give a chance to "battle of LA" and "Renegades", which also contain such underrated tunes and a joke called "street fighting man" from you-know-who

I saw Audioslave last month here in Sacramento and they rocked. Never got to see Soundgarden or Rage though. |

I totally agree! RATM, Pumpkins, Soundgarden and Jeff Buckley, I don't need anything else on a '90's collection box set'!! Well, maybe some early (max. '95/'96) Black Crowes.
I guess Billy Corgan found out the hard way after he (and the rest of 'em) broke up the Pumpkins. Swan was so-so and his latest solo album sounds nice, but too mainstream I think. No wonder he wants the Pumpkins back! Allthough they got worse after Mellon Collie. Basicly the first 2 albums (Gish + Siamese) are the best imo. Same goes for RATM. Later albums come nowhere near the in-your-face vibrant quality and sound of the first one.
I saw both the Pumpkins and RATM several times in the 90's (festivals, arenas and clubs), and I loved it. Even loved the Pumpkins' 1998 acoustic set on Pinkpop (Dutch festival). Quite a bold move on their part, with for the largest part non-die-hards in the audience. It took the people some 6 minutes to figure out what song they were playing. Even popular songs like Bullet with Butterfly Wings and Tonight, Tonight were hard to recognise, I loved that!!
And I would give my, ... uhm, well, no body parts, but maybe some of my cat's body parts, to have seen Soundgarden live. *Sigh*
Oh, and I'd like to see Audioslave as well, in a club or something!

last goodbye is the best song of the 90s.......
and his judy garland version of the man that got away is ....heaven.
i saw the pumpkins open up for the stones in fort worth -
they were in a bitchy mood but still great - the end was near. |
