Episode 36: Rage Against The Machine - Self Titled Debut
Manage episode 331593824 series 2889613
This is an album review of Rage Against The Machine's 1992 self-titled debut.
I want you to try and recall a time when you went to a concert to see one band and were mystified by either the opening act or another band on the bill to the point where you feel this other act dominated the show and upstaged everyone else. This was my experience the first time I saw this band in concert.
In April and May 1992, the California band Rage Against The Machine entered Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, CA to record their very first album, simply titled, Rage Against The Machine.
They ended up re-recording 7 of the 12 songs that were on their original demo they used to sell at shows on cassette tapes for $5 a pop. With musical influences such as Fugazi, Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Van Halen (mostly Eddie’s influence on Tom), The Dead Kennedy’s and Faith No More, again Rage was on to something. They had a sound that was unique to the times.
Put your helmet on for this one....
