| Moderator1: | I was at the Roseland Ballroom show, and it was amazing... But I heard it was so short because Zack was sick, is that true? |
| RageAgainstTheMachine: | Tom: Zak did have a bad case of either the flu or food poisoning that afternoon but still put on a pretty spectacular performance. |
| RageAgainstTheMachine: | That was why the set was not as long as we usually play. |
| Moderator1: | Hi, my name is Brian Tronieri. I was wandering if RZA produced any of the songs on the new album? |
| RageAgainstTheMachine: | Tom: No. RZA didn't produce any of them. Brendan O'Brien was the producer and the ban coproduced the album with him. |
| RageAgainstTheMachine: | There are no guest stars, guest rappers, guest percussionists, guest joke players on this record. It's just the four of us. |
| RageAgainstTheMachine: | Brad: We do have a juggler though. |
| RageAgainstTheMachine: | We've been motivitaed by juggling. |
| Moderator1: | How do you get involved? |
| RageAgainstTheMachine: | Tom: If you want to help with freeing Mumia abu jamal or Leonard Peltier or any of our other causes, you can check out the Action site at ratm.com where there are links to the various activist organizations that we endorse. |
| RageAgainstTheMachine: | Feel free to contact them and they will help plug you in with concrete and specific things you can do in your local area to help. |
| RageAgainstTheMachine: | If you live in a major city, there's a lot of places that you can find alternative information to what you hear in the mainstream press. |
| Moderator1: | Where are you going to be on 11/2? |
| RageAgainstTheMachine: | Philly is on December 2nd. On 11/2, the day the album comes out, we are playing on the streets of New York City at an as-yet undisclosed location. Our performance will be broadcast on the David Letterman Show that night. |
| Moderator1: | Is it a coincidence that you guys have a show in philly on 12/2? |
| RageAgainstTheMachine: | There are no accidents or coincidences in this business. |
| Moderator1: | Do you think that your cd will open others eyes or cause more uproar and controversy? |
| RageAgainstTheMachine: | YtimK: I think our CD could potentially move people down the road to a better understanding of how tight pieces can fit. |
| RageAgainstTheMachine: | I think that we are more machined than we've ever been. I feel we are polished. I think our sound is embossed on a metal disc that will go on forever. |
| Moderator1: | What song is everyone's favorite on your new CD |
| RageAgainstTheMachine: | Brad: My favorite is War Within a Breath. |
| RageAgainstTheMachine: | Bard: Ashes in the Fall. |
| RageAgainstTheMachine: | Tom: It's difficult to choose. I'm rocked by so many of them, but if pressed, I'd probably choose Born of a Broken Man. |
| Moderator1: | What about the other people on death row? Shouldn't we save the lives of them too? We need to get closer as whole to save the not so important people in life, as well as the important, Don't you think? |
| RageAgainstTheMachine: | Tom: Absolutely. But I think that Mumia's case is one that transcends the issue of the death penalty. There are many political prisoners in the US, Mumia, however, is the only revolutionary and political dissident since the Rosenbergs in the 50's who is threatened with immediate and official execution. |
| RageAgainstTheMachine: | His case speaks to larger issues of race and class in the judicial system and in society as well as being a focal point for organizing around these issues. |
| Moderator1: | Many people are asking about tour dates, can you fill us in? |
