Music Quotes:
A good song should make you wanna tap your foot and get with your girl. A great song should destroy cops and set fire to the suburbs. I'm only interested in writing great songs. - Tom Morello |
Band Name Origins:
- To get more specific on the other entries, The term "Rage Against the Machine" comes from a speech infamous Communist Karl Marx in which he asked the people to "Rage against the machine." Submitted by: Melanine.com
- the 'machine' aka the political machine of america is what they're 'rage'ing against. these communist lovers despize the capitalist system, and want it changed. However in over 10 years of singing the have failed to change anthing. The group is extremely hypocritical since they disrespect people that profit from the capitalistic system, however they make millions each year. To sum that up for those of lesser intelligence: they're pissed at ppl that make a lot of money, yet they make a shitload each year. And if you do bring up the argument that they give some to charity, than two things: 1. fuck you, get a book, and start reading 2. theyt donate enough to get a tax benefit Don't getme wrong, i think their music is not too bad, but the morals that they are preaching are just wrong. however due to the 1st ammendment (for you dumbshits that freedom of speach) I will not make any vilified claims against them.

Original Lyrics: We're the renegades of funk.

Story about this misheard lyric by: Mike My girlfriend and I got into a fight. I told her, "I'm going to go out and pick up some random to f*** tonight." She drove home crying when the song came on. She told me about the song, "When a Random Needs a F**". I didn't know what she was talking about. The next time it came on the radio she said, 'This is it!'. I laughed my a** off. [Ed.'s note: It sounds like this was Mike's mishearing, and he's trying to pass it off to his girlfriend. But who am I to judge? :))] |
