NicknameMessage
Moderator1: How do you feel about Amnesty International trying to get Peltier another trial?
RageAgainstTheMachine: Tom: Amnesty International has been tremendously supportive of the judicial rights of political dissidents in both the Abu Jama case and the Peltier case.
RageAgainstTheMachine: It's shameful that our government has turned a deaf ear to this non-partisan humanitarian organization.
Moderator1: What will be the first music video from The Battle Of Los Angeles?
RageAgainstTheMachine: Brad: First music video will be Guerrilla Radio.
RageAgainstTheMachine: We're working on some final editing this week.
RageAgainstTheMachine: It should be out soon.
Moderator1: Where did you come up with the name for the new album?
RageAgainstTheMachine: Tom: We had narrowed the list down to a couple of choices and it turned out that one of the other top contenders, Battle Hymn, was the name of a record by European Heavy Metal band Man Of War, which disqualified it.
RageAgainstTheMachine: The Battle of Los Angeles is in part intentionally ambiguous, but it speaks of the tension that bubbles just under the surface of our fair city.
RageAgainstTheMachine: Rage Against the Machine is a unique product of LA, and I don't think it could have happened anywhere else.
RageAgainstTheMachine: The sounds, sights, smells, glories, and horrors of this city can be heard on every track of this album.
Moderator1: The lyrics are noticably more abstract than the first and second albums, do you think the message will still be heard loud and clear? and how did the PMRC respond to the album?
RageAgainstTheMachine: The PMRC has not sent us an official review yet, we eagerly await their comments and look forward to making whatever revisions they suggest.
Moderator1: Comments from the chat channel:
RageAgainstTheMachine: YtimK: I'm down with Testify. A real good first song for the record, and it sets up the record real good.
Moderator1: What is the basic style of the music on the new album? Is it any different from the last two albums?
RageAgainstTheMachine: Brad: I think it's a lot broader than our last record in many ways. A lot more dynamics, more intent and it has a lot of subtleties that you didn't really catch on our other two records.
RageAgainstTheMachine: I think it's a broader record.
