Product Description
Rage Against The Machine changed the shape of music with their rampant self-titled debut album in 1992. Here was a politically charged troupe who took advantage of major label backing yet spoke out on issues that few stars in the spotlight dared to - never afraid to insist their message was just as important as the music.The sales came in the millions and critical acclaim besieged them...until De La Rocha left the band in 2000. Instead of attempting to replace the inimitable orator, Morello and Co. threw a curveball and hired ex-Soundgarden throat Chris Cornell to create a new band - Audioslave.Yet there was always the genius of Rage Against The Machine in the background and in 2007 the band reformed with De La Rocha included. Millions have waited a long time to see the spectacle unfold once again. This is the story of how a Harvard graduate and a poetic activist welded together, along with several capable cohorts, to create a bastion of youth revival and change through the medium of their striking, innovative material; a glutton of musical riches which continues to amaze and inspire today.
Customer Reviews
`Rage Against the Machine: Stage Fighters' is a pretty good place to go if you want to know more information about this unique and influential band. Written by an obvious fan (with the mild bias this entails) this book follows the formation and career of RATM, as well as Audioslave and solo projects. It is up to date in that it talks about the bands reformation and various concerts in recent years. This book covers the life and times of the band and looks at events that shaped their viewpoints, as well as the other artists and causes that coloured their music. There are some photos in a middle plate section and a pretty comprehensive recommended reading/viewing list at the back. Although the author seems to be a huge fan of the band he didn't shy away from showing some of the more tumultuous aspects of the bands career and his love of the band made for a more impassioned read overall. Considering reading material on RATM is pretty sparse to say the least, this book fills a gaping hole and makes for fascinating and inspiring reading. Well worth a look.Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.
