Rage Against the Machine on Bonnaroo Radio

[ratm]

Rage Against the Machine just came up on Bonnaroo radio.

They are in Europe between June 1-7 but they do not have anything scheduled on the dates of Roo.

Finally, all of there recent shows have been at large festivals.

Does this mean Rage should be taken off the not at Bonaroo thread?

[steveternal]

No, because they play non-Bonnaroo artists all the time. It just means they like RatM.

[spookymonster]

Bonnaroo radio also plays artists that were at Vegoose (which RATM headlined this past year).

If they were going to headline 'roo, they would have done it last year when people would have cared. Rage has been touring on their last show since last April.

I respectfully disagree. There are a lot of RATM fans who have had no real opportunity to see them. Coachella, Vegoose, Voodoo, and Rock The Bells does not really make a full tour people have been anticipating since the reunion.

they also played the show in wisconsin and new olrleans i think the 10 shows is a pretty good chance to see them but they'll be back they've had something like 30 or 40 dates world wide over the last year

I would welcome them with open arms @ Roo!
I saw them in 1997 with Wu-Tang and again @ Voodoo last year. They still have the same intensity they had back in the day. That would be a rockin Friday headliner if they got pegged for Roo. I say bring em on!

[pixelgoat]

THAT would make me a very happy monkey!!!!

[sammy o]

always nice to see zack and the boys

[guitardevil]

^^ true, but i miss the dreads, they seemed intergral to rage. But no way I'd miss them if they were at the roo.

"so now im rolling down centeroo with a shotgun!"

[shukky]

Rage would kick serious on a friday night followed by a Beastie Boy Late Night. Perfect Evening.

[redonkulous]

I dont know. I saw them in 2000 at the HFStival, and last year at Voodoo. I felt like the voodoo show wasn't on par with their standard of years past. You could tell that they havn't been touring with this material in a while. Pretty rusty. Alot of the songs were played at a slower tempo also. Didn't even come close to the intensity of the show in 2000. I'm a huge rage fan, and it pains me to say this, but I kinda hope they don't come this year.

I thought they were badass at Vegoose. They def were playing some songs a bit slower than we're accustomed to. The Vegoose performance was one of the best that I'd seen in a long time. Maybe they had an off night at Voodoo (the night before Vegoose, right?).

i dont care where i see rage i just have to see them before i die
