What are you talking about the first album is full of historical references.

it took him years to write and re-write the evil empire album lyrics. basically the band broke up over it unofficially and then got back together because he was such a perfectionist

the reason renegades is a cover album is bc morello wanted to pump another album out quickly after BOLA

Zack said no bc he likes to craft his lyrics

they settled on using lyrics from people Zack respects

then they broke up

Evil Empire is their best album

it is also their best souding album. i agree with Trag I have difficulty listening to the 1st album now bc the production sounds so weak

Live and Rare is a great official sony release and the quality of the 1st album tracks on it is very good

highly recommend this

i was able to buy it online for peanuts a couple years ago. used to be berry difficult to find back in the day

There was an interesting article a while back that illustrated their tensions as being the result of overnight success. They went from being a college band to having a deal, to touring the world, so quickly, and never got the time to know each other as people.
i think saw that. Morello talks about how painful the dynamics were.

but sometimes that friction fuels the intensity

a lot of great players on the same sports teams are assholes / hate each other

part of being competitive and really good at stuff

The other two??
tons of shit

the other two are kind of cro-magnon and just went along with Zack and Morello

People think the debut doesn't sound good? I've always thought it was held in high regard by audiophiles.

I got the vinyl on Record Store Day in November 2018 or Spring 2019. You can probably find it on discogs if you collect vinyl.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Brad Wilk & YTimK still one of my all-time fav rhythm sections. Bass line of No Shelter ftw.

Rage is a band I legitimately think I could have drummed for. Straightforward and heavy. Love love love it.

Also, Rage’s lyrics are still as relevant now as they were 20+ years ago. SAD!

Yeah either No Shelter or Testify are my favorite bass lines.
he often fucks up the breakdown in no shelter live

berry difficult bassline to play
