RATM Reunite for Coachella Festival

gucci

how bout we do like the new walkers ad and drag our country over to the west coast of america?? we can all save a few euros that way.

they will reform and be better than before.......what i have been convincing myself since the day i heard they split, could be the best comeback since ROCKY!!

Ho-Hum

Great news indeed, not to mention unexpected.

*Prays for Irish gig

Allow me congratulate you. But we expect full on brilliant photos and videos now. I think I might just live and hope for an Irish date, if it ever happens

I wonder what the chances of them doing the Download festival in Donington Park are? That would be far easier to get to thanks to the East Midlands airport being within walking distance of the festival. Plus there's the small matter of all the other bands that would be playing

gucci

not a notion of an irish date, if these guys are earning 5.5million dollars (to quote seanironmaiden from another thread) they wont come to ireland. best we could hope for is reading or wacken?? but i wouldnt hold my breath....then again i never thought they would reform

pkumohideeile

does anyone have a guess to why they're reforming in the first place? i mean probably its politically driven. but audioslave are going fine so whats the deal.

pkumohideeile

what was the reason for them breaking up in the first place?

Audioslave didn't tour their last album at all.. Cornell went off and did the Bond thing and now he's doing a solo album and touring it when it's out. bad move chris..... plus, there's the fact that in the last 7 years we "needed" Rage more than ever... (from a political standpoint)

as far as them not playing here because they wouldn't get $5 million or whatever.. I don't think the money is a main factor and it certainley won't be once the play Coachella and remember how much ass they kick! I would imagine their not making too much plans until they see how this one show goes and taking ti from there. Hopefully they're considering some European festivals...

Motley Crue

Its funny to see Damien Rice tucked away under their name, I wonder if he'll be playing near the same time as the lads, a load of metallers pushed up the front through his set waiting for Rage

Musician Saul Williams has suggested that de la Rocha left the band because he did not want Renegades to be released, and the rest of the band wanted to put it out against his wishes.

Those three members sought out separate management of their own and managed to secure the immediate release of the album.

On October 18, 2000, de la Rocha released the following statement:

“ I feel that it is now necessary to leave Rage because our decision-making process has completely failed. It is no longer meeting the aspirations of all four of us collectively as a band, and from my perspective, has undermined our artistic and political ideal. I am extremely proud of our work, both as activists and musicians, as well as indebted and grateful to every person who has expressed solidarity and shared this incredible experience with us. „

Motley Crue

I wonder will we see any more of this? Whatever you think of Rage, this particular move may have been a mistake

LundiMardi

I vote RATM for Slane:)

Would love to see this though, i think if De La Roche and co. can put away differences for this gig then i can't see there NOT being any more gigs to come tbh.

Seems to be a good lot of Irish goin. Got my ticket in the presale. Cant wait! See ya there seanironmaiden!

what may have been a mistake? Yea looks interviews with tom morello suggest a reunite although its not in stone!!

Check out NME for some news, Morello states that although he verifies its a once off gig, he does not rule out future activity. Apartently they're hell bent on attacking the Bush administration . Imagine a new album phoaaaaaaaaaaaaar :P

Mushy

Exodus 18.11, think the burning of the American flag he might have been talking about.

A new anti-Bush administration album by RATM...I can only imagine what it wouldn't have. Cant see them going that far though

ExoduS 18.11

I thought that image turned into a very strong political point on there views on the US administration!
