I have their Battle of L.A. album, I used to be really into it, but I was like 14 when I got, and at the time i was really into the whole nu-metal and rap metal thing for some reason. I don't even know where that CD is anymore actually.

"Rage Against the Machine" and "Evil Empire" = AWESOME

Everything beyond that? = BULLSH*T

I love Rage, I loved Audioslave. Not the 'BEST BAND OF THE CENTURY' but they were and still are VERY unique. Not to mention the old Rage stuff is some of the BEST produced and engineered shit of the 90's.

I personally loathe RATM more than Audioslave. At least Cornel can sing, whether or not I am a fan of his (more like not). The guy from RATM has a terrible voice.

Both bands have some of the worst music I've ever had the misfortune of hearing

I hardly know what Audioslave sounds like.

I agree with this statement....

and now most of the band is getting richer and richer with AudioSlave.[/quote]

Audioslave should NEVER have come about. Their music is horrendous and obnoxious. The song Like a Stone is just plain bad. Can't stand it.[/quote]

I'll throw in my two cents here. I dislike RATM, but I absolutely abhor Audioslave. They make me want to throw up in my mouth every time I hear them. Quite honestly, I think it's safe to say that there is not a lot of music out there that's worse than Audioslave.

They're average, at best.

I do not like this band.

This band isn't metal. I consider this band an alternative rock band.

I don't like alternative rock.

Hahahahahahaha, Audioslave is going to break up! As long as they won't reform Rage Against The Machine, I'll have an orgasm!!!

Audioslave and Rage Against The Machine make me want to massacre people.

I think the Music stylings of the band are very dynamic and they are one of the very few bands that can build up a song and drop a rhythm really well. I liked the first album . BUt as far as Tom Morello goes . The only reason So many of these guitarists are being picked as great guitarists are because the people who are selecting them are from a new generation that have never really opened their minds as to what Great guitarists are . Cause tom morello could never hang with the likes of guitar greats like yngwie,van halen or even satraini.

His use of effects have been his trademark, but as any well respected guitarist will tell you Effects are the easy way out of a good solo.. I wanna Hear Tom pick up an acoustic and impress me ..

But I guess the main reason RAGM is not big on my list is the POLITICS involved with the band .. That has no place in Metal.. They may as well be labeled a punk band.

For it to have rarely happened, it must have happened before.

Sorry Adam, but I hate (c)rap metal with all my heart. Rage Against The Machine too. But I'm sure there are other things I'm into that you hate. Don't feel offended by this.

Only problem is that this rarely happens.

I liked the first CD and and handful of other songs, but for the most part they aren't my thing. I never thought the guitar player, Tom Morello, was all that great although I see him listed among some of the better guitarists of all time by some. I don't see it but to each his own I suppose.

i for one love them. one of my all time favorite bands. the band im in right now, we play alot of rage against the machine songs with me on vocals. we havent decided on a name yet but we play rap metal. with rap metal if its pulled off right it can sound good.

anyways what do you people think about RATM and rap metal in general? with rap metal if its pulled off right it can sound good.

EDIT : here is a video of one of their songs its called Killing In The Name
