Rage Against The Machine (Epic,1992) is one of the most violent albums of the period, rightful heir of the homicidal rage of Detroit's MC5. It is not so much the incendiary lyrics as the earthshaking power of the music that raised a barrier between them and common hardcore.

Rage Against the Machine (often shortened to RATM) is an American rap metal band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 1991. The band's lineup, unchanged since its formation, consists of vocalist Zack de la Rocha, guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Tim Commerford, and drummer Brad Wilk. The discography of Rage Against the Machine, an American rap metal band, consists of four studio albums, two live albums, one compilation album, one demo album, 17 singles, four video albums and 15 music videos.

Rage Against the Machine specialize in fiery, provocative protest music, which is ironic since the band members’ relationship has been just as combative as their songs over the years. The Los Angeles group came together in 1991, with singer Zack de la Rocha and guitarist Tom Morello joining up with bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk. Within a year, Rage Against the Machine had self-released a 12-song cassette and started playing shows in the Southern California area.

The Beginning of Rap-Rock

Signing to Epic in 1992, the band released its self-titled debut in November of that year. Incorporating a few songs from their self-released cassette, Rage Against the Machine established the quartet’s sonically aggressive assault, melding de la Rocha’s politically tinged lyrics (which were often rapped) with Morello’s metal-influenced guitar. The album emerged at a time when both hard rock and hip-hop were popular, and the group linked the two genres into a new style soon to be known as rap-rock. Rage Against the Machine proved to be a landmark of the form, going on to sell 3 million copies in the U.S.

Protests and Tensions

Rage Against the Machine wouldn’t release their sophomore album for another four years, but they weren’t inactive in the interim. Touring with groups as diverse as Cypress Hill, Screaming Trees and Beastie Boys, the band appeared at various benefit concerts and Lollapalooza. Rage also caused controversy by appearing onstage nude on July 18, 1993, with duct tape on their mouths and the letters “PMRC” on their chest to protest the conservative watchdog group. When they finally returned to the studio, there were several reports of friction within the band, including rumors that the group might break up.

Widespread Acceptance

Despite those reports of personality conflicts, Evil Empire emerged in April 1996. Reaching No. 1 on the Billboard album chart, Evil Empire signaled a widespread acceptance of the group’s militant, antiauthoritarian stance. No doubt helping the cause was that the group tailored their protest music to combustive riffs that could easily fit onto rock radio, like the single “Bulls on Parade,” which featured one of Morello’s flashy solos. Evil Empire earned three Grammy nominations, winning for Best Metal Performance for “Tire Me.”

Rage Against the Machine's Last Studio Album

Rage’s last studio album, 1999’s The Battle of Los Angeles, further cemented the commercial strength of protest-themed rap-rock. Reaching the top of the album charts and spawning three singles, including “Testify” and “Guerrilla Radio,” The Battle of Los Angeles extended the group’s winning streak, although the fury of de la Rocha’s lyrics lacked the novelty of before. Likewise, the band’s songs too often reprised sonic tricks of the past, although Morello’s fluid guitar work continued to amaze, twisting the instrument’s palette of sounds to include noises that resembled harmonica wails and turntable scratches.

Calling It Quits

In 2000, the band continued to agitate the powers that be, causing a disturbance at the New York Stock Exchange while filming a video for “Sleep Now in the Fire” and playing outside the Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles. However, the band delivered their biggest shock in October of that year when they announced they were breaking up, citing long-rumored band tensions. In a statement, de la Rocha said, “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.'

Life After Rage Against the Machine

Since Rage Against the Machine’s disbanding, the group members have remained busy with different projects. De la Rocha contributed to the One Day as a Lion project, while the rest of the band joined Chris Cornell, the singer of Soundgarden, to form Audioslave, a supergroup that enjoyed success in the early 21st century. In addition, Morello has continued his activist pursuits, staging concerts to raise awareness for different nonprofit organizations. The band has continued to reunite for occasional shows, but there has been no formal announcement about any official return to the studio.

Essential Albums

The sound of a new genre being born, Rage Against the Machine made a very loud and persuasive argument that rap-rock was going to be one of the major pop sounds of the 1990s. As indebted to Public Enemy as it was to metal, the album first caught the interest of the disenfranchised with its angry lyrics decrying the corruption of the powerful, but soon its impact would be felt in acts like Limp Bizkit and the Roots.

Early life[edit]

Bradley J. Wilk was born on September 5, 1968, in Portland, Oregon and raised in Chicago, Illinois. His family later settled in Southern California. He started to play the drums when he was thirteen years old. He has cited John Bonham, Keith Moon, and Elvin Jones as his greatest influences.^[2] Wilk was a fan of Van Halen in his youth,^[3] having seen the band live when he was thirteen.^{[citation needed]} He is of Jewish-Polish descent.

Career[edit]

Rage Against the Machine[edit]

Wilk's success as the drummer of Rage Against the Machine came from the failure of a different band; he once auditioned for a band called Lock Up, who released one album (titled Something Bitchin' This Way Comes) through Geffen records in 1989 and broke up when the album received little media attention upon release. Former Lock Up guitarist Tom Morello was looking to pick up where Lock Up left off and start a new band, and contacted Wilk, who was playing with the band Greta, to see if he was interested in playing the drums. A short while after, the duo met Zack de la Rocha while he was rapping freestyle in a club, and through him, bassist Tim Commerford (a childhood friend of de la Rocha). The band played two shows in 1991, and spent 1992 frequenting the L. A. club circuit, during which they signed a record deal with Epic Records, and released their self-titled debut album that November. They quickly achieved commercial success and would go on to release three more studio albums–Evil Empire in 1996, The Battle of Los Angeles in 1999, and Renegades in 2000– before disbanding in October 2000.

Rage Against the Machine reunion[edit]

Rage Against The Machine reunited to play at the Coachella Music Festival in Coachella, California on January 22, 2007. On April 29, 2007, Rage Against The Machine reunited at the Coachella Music Festival (see Rage Against the Machine reunion tour). The band played in front of an EZLN backdrop to the largest crowds of the festival.^{[citation needed]} Initially thought to be a one-time event, the band played seven more shows that year in the United States (including their first non-festival concert in seven years at the Alpine Valley Music Theater in East Troy, Wisconsin), and in January 2008, they played their first shows outside of the U.S. as part of the Big Day Out Festival in Australia and New Zealand.^{[citation needed]} The band has since continued to tour around the world, headlining many large festivals in Europe and the United States, including Lollapalooza in Chicago. After a brief South America tour in 2010, they created their own festival, the L. A. Rising, which they headlined on July 30, 2011. This is their most recent show to date. In November 2012, they released an XX anniversary boxset of their first album.^{[citation needed]}

Audioslave[edit]

The remaining members formed Audioslave with former Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell. The band released their self-titled debut album in 2002, which was followed by Out of Exile in 2005, and Revelations in 2006. Audioslave formally disbanded in February 2007 when Cornell left to focus on his solo career.^{[citation needed]}

Prophets of Rage (2016-present)[edit]

In 2016, Brad Wilk reunited with Tom Morello and Tim Commerford, and was joined by Chuck D, B-Real and DJ Lord to form supergroup Prophets of Rage. They play covers from their Rage Against The Machine, Public Enemy and Cypress Hill material, and new material as well. They're touring the United States under the statement 'Make America Rage Again' to protest against Donald Trump policies and the 2016 American presidential election.

Other projects[edit]

On August 3, 2015, Wilk sat-in with The 8G Band on Late Night with Seth Meyers.^[6] He's also been drumming for Juliette Lewis on various tours and shows.

Personal life[edit]

Wilk has noted a personal affinity with the number three throughout his life, and has positioned small decal stickers of the number '3' all over his drum kit, as well as in the liner notes for Rage Against the Machine's third album, The Battle of Los Angeles. In an interview with Modern Drummer Wilk said 'Ever since I was eight or nine I've gravitated to the number three. It's something that has always been a really heavy number for me. It's tattooed on my arm, and I count in threes. Everyone in school was taught two, four, six, eight, ten- I'd count in threes in the way I'd walk, even in the decisions I'd make. It was all based on threes', and also incorporates 3 into his playing.^{[citation needed]}

Wilk was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1997, and is active in raising money for diabetes awareness.^[7] He has donated about $12,000 to the Orange County chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).^[8]

Unable to find an all natural, sugar-free lemonade that would fit with his diet management and exercise plan, Wilk began formulating his own lemonade in his kitchen, using stevia in the place of sugar. After receiving positive feedback from friends and family, Wilk launched Olade.^[9] Since December 2009, the Food and Drug Administration has approved Olade to be put into the market as a non-dietary supplement, meaning anyone with or without diabetes can consume it.
