Is there a single negative to Rage Against the Machine getting back together?

I've thought about it...I've failed to come up with anything, especially in these times.

Anyone?

1. They might drive people into the Nader camp.

I remember them playing at the Dem convention in Philly in 2000. They claimed Bush and Gore were the same.

That pissed me off, and made me sad, because they are one of my favorite bands.

2. The only down side I see is that it makes me wonder...

... how many awesome albums they could have put out if they never would have broken up.

3. The answer is so obvious

It took them SEVEN YEARS of the Bush administration for them to get back together? If they're going to rage against the machine during the Clinton years then at the very least they owe us triple, no quadruple for ditching us during the Bush years. If I don't see 4, no 8 quality albums from them in the next two years, I'm gonna...well, um...I'm gonna pout and frown face against Rage until I see them in concert again... which will make me a silly hypocrite but whatever.

9. I don't see them as owing us anything.

yeah, it'd been great to have them doing what they do for the last several years, but still.

I don't see that we got ditched.

only idiots keep asking the same question when given reason not to, or given reason to give cause to the question.

Also, just as an informative post for everyone (not you, just in general) sockpuppets shouldn't call a lot of attention to themselves. Naturally, I don't refer to you or this thread or anything. It's a public service announcement that needs to be stated now and again.

76. You're really very amusing.

I find the unintentional irony quite entertaining; it's obvious that introspection is not your strong point.

I like Rage, personally, and I'm not unhappy about their reunion; but I'm not going to call someone an asshole for expressing a differing opinion. De gustibus non est disputandum.

You should really learn to NOT ask questions if it bothers you so much to receive an answer you disagree with. (Anger management classes might help, too.)

32. DJ Shadow was going to co-produce?

Whoa; I would have bought that...

68. Well they had been working together on tracks.

Though Shadow said in an interview that the tracks they did together would probably never see the light of day, for some unknown reason. (Aside from "March Of Death" that is, which they put up on the internet for download near the beginning of the Iraq war.)

78. That's really too bad

I love March Of Death and can only imagine what a whole album's worth of songs would have brought. I bet the songs will trickle out eventually on P2P if nothing else...

27. Yes: the egos involved, when combined in one room...

Yield a critical mass which will not survive for longer than the half-life of Zach's voice as he rails against the PMRC.

I hope they pull it off, because they are divine together. But I won't hold my breath.

30. You know...fuck this.

Sometimes, I actually forget where I am sometimes.

Mods...please lock this.

33. I'm happy about it

I'm excited. I know how restless they've been being a 'backing band' for Cornell who doesn't want to do political stuff. I'm just not as knowledgeable about their music as other people so I didn't want to jump in and look stupid. :hug:

56. Yeah, well

I asked for a lock a half an hour ago when the pigpile of assfucks started, and I can't score that.

Oh, well. Mods must be "busy"

58. So, what aren't you wearing?

Did I tell you I got two cans of soyatoo and some chocolate rice nectar in the mail? :evilgrin:

Since apparently threadjacking personal attacks aren't getting anybody's fucking attention, I might as well trip the sex thread klaxon, because lord knows that works. :eyes:

61. Wait...hold on...I'll say "BLOWJOB"

and then...you know, nevermind.

It stopped being worth it a half an hour ago.

It's cool. I'll keep swinging on these choadmongers until it's done...

64. Why bother?

We can go play at another forum, or you could answer the danged phone. It's like surviving the terrible twos- the worst thing you can do is to pay attention to a kid throwing a tantrum. Reward posters for being good/smart/at least not completely retarded, and smack them down and move on to other shit when they're dumbasses, because sustained attention only encourages more of the same stupidity.

67. Because sometimes

you have to embarass authority into action. Yeah, I just fucking said it.

A newbie...a thinner skin...a knowledge lacking in what kind of assclownery happened with these upthread dipshits...

Fuck this, that and the other. Let Admin look at it.

Edited on Thu Mar-01-07 02:07 AM by LeftyMom

By you know, feeding your dog, talking about bands, all that crazy inflammatory stuff, we wouldn't have these problems. :eyes:

Or it could be you've drawn the attention of a whole clique of fucksticks. Judging by the fact that my favorite DUer, ignored, is all over this thread like flies on shit, I'm guessing it's that. ;)

75. Sockpuppets are as sockpuppets do

hey, I hear that I'm angry with folks that disagree with me. That's an odd one considering how long I've been here and not had that thrown at me.

By any chance, have you seen any of the mods tonight? Just curious? Big party, maybe.

81. Oddly enough, none of them could be found last night when trolls were rampant in GD, either.

Seems funny to me (and I don't mean funny "ha ha" I mean funny as in completely horseshit,) but what do I know? I mean, it's not like I used to do the job here or still do it anyplace else. :shrug:

87. You notice that too?

I think an informal gathering of IP addy info would be quite enlightening. Not that I'm calling out anyone or saying anything, cuz gawd knows, I don't want this thread locked (an hour after my request...ahem).

Troll...that's a funny word. I should use it more.

92. Yes dear, you should.

Is it too late to rename this thread, because considering it's longevity, I'm thinking Methuselah would be a good name.

flvegan's last stand is a better name.

It'll be over after this. I'm laying 3-to-1 odds on it.

99. I kinda doubt it

The trolls are getting old and having little troll babies all over the damned place around here. I'd look kinda funny to delete a real progressive on an established account for responding to personal attacks that only remained because they were asleep at the switch again.

But considering the current state of things around here, I can't be bothered to get too worked up about it. And that makes me very sad.

103. when you were a mod

did an hour and a half go by without shit happening here? I guess that this is what I get for telling trolls to go fuck themselves. They miss, and wind up fucking a related troll. Hence...troll babies. My own fault.

Guess I should go to bed before I do any more damage to DU.

110. Occasionally, but I had the minor forums and groups

and they have a whopping three or four mods, so sometimes there really wasn't anybody there. Of course, in emergencies a mod from another forum could step in (not that I recall that ever happening, "OMG! We've got eight trolls in the Wyoming forum and there's a flamewar about dried spices in Cooking and Baking and the Harry Potter people and the ASOIAF people are rumbling over in Fantasy Lit!" really doesn't come up much.)

If it ever happened in a big forum that term, I didn't see. That's why all the large forums have so many mods, to keep that from happening.

113. Well, to be completely honest

I just looked at the link for the mods for this forum.

I'm at a loss.

call her on the phone? It's a lot cheaper than actually flying there to meet her.

85. Yes, they may pose nude on stage again.

It won't look quite the same as it did 15 years ago.

Hey maybe posting that pic will get this thread locked. :evilgrin:
