Post subject:  RATM to reunite for one show....

Rage Against The Machine, the seminal L.A. band that made heavy music into political manifesto, will reunite after a seven-year lull for one show as the headliners at the 2007 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Sources say Rage, which played the main stage at the first Coachella in 1999, will be joined by other familiar faces for the eighth edition of the festival, which covers three days this year and begins April 27: Red Hot Chili Peppers, which headlined in 2003, are back, as is Björk, who topped the bill in 2002.


It's not clear which day Rage or the other acts were slotted to play; that announcement is expected in the next few days. Other acts expected in the eclectic lineup: Arcade Fire, Interpol, Willie Nelson, the Roots, Manu Chao, the Decemberists, Arctic Monkeys, Sonic Youth, Crowded House, Air, Tiësto and Kings Of Leon.

Rage, which broke through in 1992 with the defiant single "Killing in the Name," won fans across the social spectrum with singer Zack de la Rocha's rap-based lyrics backed by the band's hard-rock melodies. They topped the U.S. pop album charts in 1996 with "Evil Empire" and in 1999 with "The Battle of Los Angeles."

My ass one show, they'll end up playing Lollapalooza and every other fest. Thats pretty cool, no way it can be worse then the last Audioslave album.

I've still got a red ass from when they were supposed to tour with the Beastie Boys back in the summer of The Aught and I had tickets, and they cancelled the whole tour 'cause Mike D broke his collar bone. I know it's not really anyone's fault, I just would have really liked to have gone to that show.

Damn. I'd kill to be there. I'd love a chance to see RATM live, considering I never did back when. Audioslave is a great example of the sum being less than the parts, IMO; they're okay, but I don't like them as much as Rage nor as much as Soundgarden.

Maybe Zack will play some tunes from his solo album that is six years in the works - those will be awesome. Hopefully it compares to the Joe Perry Project!
