Rage Against The Machine, July 30th 2011

[concertgoer]

Don't get me wrong I like RATM and I saw them several times back in the day
But by 2008 I liked Wilco a lot more than RATM

[getbetter]

Am I the only one that isn't sold on this?

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Seeing Rage at the palladium was good enough for me. i have no desire to see them with 10,000+ people.

[WhyTheLongFace]

Prices will be factor for me considering I only wanna see Rage & Snoop

This is exactly why I have no interest.

I was at the Palladium show too, and I honestly think it's one of the 10, maybe even 5, best shows I've been to in my life.

However, I do think it was a little too packed. I think seeing them in a bigger venue, even with more people, would actually give you more options in terms of space.

I couldn't go through the day of July 30 knowing this was going down in my backyard and not being there.

Fortunately for me, I ended up buying a VIP ticket and I got to watch most of the performance from the balcony which was not too crowded and got me surprisingly close to the stage.

[GaragePoet]

if their performance surpasses that of Coachella in '99 when Maynard sang his part on "Know Your Enemy" and Zack debuted his "it's gotta start somewhere/sometime" lyrics while i'm fallin' balls all over some acid, you let me know...

they wouldn't let me type F-A-G w/ a -G-O-T...

i was at ratm, but i've always wondered how big the wilco crowd was

this is a bit of info i got from my Metallica buddy who is in the camp: its all just basic info but it was fun to hear it!!

he told me last night that Metallica is looking into possibly doing a massive 2 week US stadium festival tour in August. the big 4 tour is out due to previous commitments from the other bands.(although a New york date will happen in Sept).

the bands they sent interest offers to be sub-headliners are RATM, Slipknot, System of a Down, and Linkin Park.

once they get one of them, they will fill the lineup with bands that fit. Mastodon, Korn, etc.

in the fall they go into the studio to do more work and in the summer of 2012 they will do more big 4 dates in the US before they go into a full arena tour if they get their album done..

bottom line: Metallica-Rage would be incredible!!

i plan on going just to watch the crowd and craziness ensue...if i don't have to pay for a ticket.

not if we have to get a short rage set. i'd take a full rage set over a full metallica set any day

Metallica, Linkin Park, and KoRn on tour together would be one of the worst noise assults on metal music since Vanilla Ice put out Hard To Swallow

rage seems to prefer the one-offs. highly doubt they'll ever tour in support for anyone.

[choice cat]

Maybe it's just cause I'm not the biggest Metallica fan but I think that would be pretty lame.

[ficklecycle]

They toured with Korn in 2000 and Linkin Park in 2003.

I don't think they'll get Rage to do one of these, but that would be cool. Summer Sanitarium 2011?

MASTODON WOULD BE EPIC!

[Rosemont17]

well Metallica got next the big 4 date out of the way. Sept 14th Yankee stadium.

id prefer Rage to do their own thing and not sub-headline so this july 30th date is good enough for me!!!!

gonna be fucking EPIC!!

checking stuff out, more than likely Linkin Park will do their own festival tour again. Probably take Korn out with them.

i think Metallica and Slipknot would be a great show.

Rage should just keep doing their own thing.

[Bons222000]

I'd be surprised if Rage opened for Metallica. I personally can't stand Metallica. Rage and SOAD would be cool, though.

[Rosemont17]

rage and soad would be very cool

rage as a sub... w/ metallica as a headliner??! thats almost laughable.

[Mr. Dylanja]

I dumped Rage at Coachella. Coachella and I have been dating ever since.

[Bomboclat]

.... Slipknot .... great show....

Smoke more meth

[MidnightSIX]

Weren't we suppose to get details this past week on this ? ._.

[sin213]

rage as a sub... w/ metallica as a headliner??! thats almost laughable.

very laughable. tho i guess that might be best as then i can leave right after rage, rather than having to time getting there after metallica are done or sitting thru them.

[suprefan]

Remember Woodstock 99? Rage was BEFORE Metallica.

[Rosemont17]

im assuming kroq will announce their lineup first, then on tues or wed we will get details for Rage!

[choice cat]

I don't think they're waiting for weenie roast to be announced ..

[dyltr0n3030]

FUCK. I'm listening to RATM right now, thinking about how fucking gnarly shit will get at the coliseum.. FUCKK FUCK FUCK FUCK
this will be one for the books.
