{"product_id":"rage-against-the-machine-lp","title":"Rage Against the Machine [LP]","description":"Rage Against The Machine: Zack De La Rocha (vocals); Tom Morello (guitar); Timmy C. (bass); Brad Wilk (drums).\u003cbr\u003eAdditional personnel: Maynard James Keenan (background vocals).\u003cbr\u003eEngineers: Stan Katayama, GGGarth, Auburn Burell.\u003cbr\u003eRecorded at Sound City, Van Nuys, California; Scream Studios, Studio City, California; Industrial Recording, North Hollywood, California.\u003cbr\u003eRAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE is a collection of live concert videos and uncensored versions of 5 original videos.\u003cbr\u003eOn 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.\u003cbr\u003eBut 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.\"\u003cbr\u003eRapper 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":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45687455023391,"sku":"888751117518","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/6d557709683a9bed40768b9d6cfbe00e.jpg?v=1779451618","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/rage-against-the-machine-lp","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
