We need a SSSC, RATM, and The Nightwatchman tour. I would include Audioslave, but Chris Cornell has got his own band again. At least Tom Morello is in all of the other three....
I think that when Tom used this on "Killing in the Name" or "Wake Up." It got rocked a little bit harder than this. Also I see Jeff Beck use one live occasionally.
You know, weird thing is, this isn't Rage Against the Machine, so talking about Zach is kind of irrelevant. I think Boots brings an entirely different dynamic to Tom's music which I really love.
i dig boots. hes really good. but im still a fan of Zach more. i think de la rocha is one of the better rappers out there period. and his energy with his amazing words. but SSSC is still the shiznit
Zack is one of the most meaningful rappers, yes. Better? Not sure about that... he's still on some cheesy 1980s thing. Check out The Roots - a live hiphop band, the main guy in it, Black Thought, is one of the most technically brilliant rappers i've ever heard.
Neither one of them sing lol. There's a difference in rapping and singing. Rapping requires fast talking and the ability to rhyme without sounding mentally retarded. Singing requires much talent to reach multiple pitches and all that good stuff.
Man I got to see these guys in san jose saturday and they were frigging great. I wasn't expecting a good show based on the name. I hadn't heard of the band before, but I did know of boots and (obviously) morello. But man I was gladly surprised by their show. The cd doesn't quite live up to their live show...
I don't know anything about politics so since I got into SSSC and RATM I want to learn more. I was watching an interview with a guy named Aaron Russo. Has anyone heard of him and are his views and the views of these bands similar?
One Day As A Lion, Zack's band(lead singer of RATM) and one of the best lyrical writers alive. I love Boots, but I love Zack even more, check One Day As A Lion out dude!
whoever said rage would sound like this if they reformed... nahhhh. once tim commerford n morello get together u know ur gonna get a more old school ratm style, they work together so well. sssc is just boots riley's lyrics over a load of shit morello recorded on his own n then added the bass n stuff to later. that said, sssc are pretty sick =]
This has to be the worlds most under rated riff. Tom Morello sir you are a fucking genius
