Let your power be heard all the way to those white fascist is washington. Thank You. All of you.
This is the beginning of a new era. If this is not proof of RATM's future, to spread the word that none can do better - Problably then pinguins can fly to.
Your music forever changed me as a person and citizen. I come from a town of ultra-conservatives, having had their dogma shoved down my throat since Day 1, and you guys (mainly Zack the lyricist, really) made me see the light. We gotta take the power back and not let these criminal politicians and corporate power whores rule us any longer!
I grew up with two ultra-conservatives as parents and i too thought like they did. but then i found RATM, and you tought me to think, question, and become educated. you gave me the gift of knowledge and i owe everything to you! keep fighting the power!
Zack, sos uno de mis mayores iconos en esta vida. Toda la ideologia que atraves de tus canciones se filtro dentro de mi hizo cambiar totalmente mi manera de vivir la vida, lo que es injusto y todo nuestro terrible alrededor. Espero que me entiendas. Un fan desde Argentina.
Mis mejores valores para ustedes.
Fab
please come to south africa!!!! you have no idea how much of afollowing you guys have here. your music and message is timeless! and we need you! peace
Thank you for your words. No other music group/ music has ever touched me and brought out my rage like your music has. As a self-identified CHICANA no te puedes imajinar cuanto valoro tu musica y aprecio que tus palabras esten ahi afuera para que las oigan los puercos y sepan que no nos quedaremos callados! Tu le das voz a la RAZA! It feels good to know that I'm not the only ENRAGED person out there willing to take action,there is hope!
WE WILL CHANGE THE WORLD!
!LA REVOLUCION SIGUE!
!QUE VIVA COMANDANTA RAMONA!
!QUE VIVA LA MUJER!
Gracias por todo el trabajo y amor que le ponen a su musica- Me ha cambiado la vida.
Keep up the great work man, your lyrics, music and ideas have really changed how I think of alot of todays situations so keep it up man.
Wow, The website changed a lot! In a good way =D
I'm happy you guys are back!
Greatings From the Netherlands.
Hope 2 see you on Pinkpop 2008 ;)
Rage Against the Machine, the most important reunion yet. It's about time you guys went down and played in Dubai, with an audience that ranges from Palestinians to Irish to Pakistanis to Americans to Filipinos to South Africans(and many more), it's a whole mix of cultures who you can wake up and unite. As for now, the reunion shows were the baddest and loudest shows of the summer.

If we ever needed you guys its now. Thank you Zach for stepping back up to the mic. There are so many of us out there who feel like we have no real voice, who wish for a better future for or children and for ourselves, and because of people like you, people like me can believe that there is still hope. I remember the first time i ever herd your voice i got goose bumps, the i listened to your words and I got scared, Then I paid attention and I became aware. Its been to long my brother, welcome back, we missed and needed you.
Bonjour Zack i'm belgian and i'm 15 and you're my favourite singer i'm happy that you're back excuse me for my english because i don't learn english i'm a fan of you I have been listening to Rage for 9years when i was 6 and now i understand the politic because your lyrics is very "intelligent" i expect with pleasure that you come to belgium of france of european tour.It's my dream
thank's
Thank you very much for read this comment
thank's Brad,Tom ,Timmy ,Zack
The emotion you give to "The Ghost of Tom Joad" is unrelentingly amazing... every single time I listen to that song I can feel it... and your Coachella speech... that first time hearing it... in person... was unforgettable.
Frank Ft. Worth, TX
Thank you so much for getting back together this past year! ...and thank you for bringing your message to those that need to HEAR!!! .... Caught you guys at Randalls Island, NYC this past July ...greatest experience of my concert life! ....one more album, PLEEEEESE!!! :)
Thank You! Thank you! For the most unforgetable reunion! Im so glad the RAGE is back! I saw you guys at rock the bells in san bernadino,cal and i gotta say seeing you guys back on that stage was without a doubt the best experience ive ever had! Please come to Phoenix,AZ you guys were suppossed to come when touring with the beastie boys but it was cancelled remember? PLEASE ONE MORE ALBUM!
The sands of time have passed through the hands of many, and yet the struggle for freedom is still very prevalent in all walks of life. I am with you, till the end; as this land is the birth place of endless problems and thus we must confront the enemy on all lines and in all possible facets. Continue with your course of action as your words speak to countless masses. Soon they will all understand that freedom and equality are simply forcefed lies that we have been lead to believe. You are a light in the dark, the beacon of hope that guides us. We thank you for you action against inequality and strife. Viva Equalidad!
hola zack!
I'm so glad you are back!
viva la raza!
viva rage!
THE WORLD NEEDS THIS MUSIC MORE THAN EVER!
Hey Zack, starting a band in 2 years,
its going to be politically charged like rage, let me just say, that rage has inspired me more than anything, just as much as the bible. Every time I feel like shit I put a rage song on and hold my fist in the air. I'm only 14 what do I know, I am interested in world events, and when I change high school I'll take my beliefs like rage did, and stand up for them, your the only band to stand up and shout your words, and not sell out by endorsing big companies .
I'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND HOW SOMEONE COULD POSSIBLY PUT DOWN LYRICS LIKE YOU DO...
WAS IT ANGER OR WAS IT SOMETHING ELSE???????
The world without thhe RATM was an empty place. When we really needed you, you broke up. I'm so happy that you reunited and I know that even if we haven't seen each other, we feel and think the same.
Please come to Kansas City!!! You guys would be a huge hit. RATM has been my favorite band as long as i can remember. If you guys did a show in Kansas City it would be a drem come true! Keep sending the message and change peoples lives like you changed mine. I thank you, but most of all KEEP ROCKIN!!
I hope you guys record a new album. I'm a huge fan and I would love to see you here in Turkey. Believe me. You have lots of fans around here. You totally rule.
I agree with everyone else, I cried the day you guys broke up, and now more than ever, i think that we need you back. Im so thankful that you put aside your differences and are doing this....This country needs RATM way more than ever before.
HI ZACK, HI RATM, SORRY MY ENGLISH, BUT ANYWAY.....JUST A FEW WORDS....YOURS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT MUSIC BAND IN MY LIFE, SINCE 1990, PLEASE, PLEASE, COME TO CHILE, WE NEED A DOSIS OF YOUR WORDS AND ROCK.........PLEASE.....COME TO CHILE....AHH..ANDA ZACK REMEMBER YOUR NEW YEAR IN CHILE.....FOR THAT, YOU MUST RETURN QITH ALL THE BAND........''WHEN IGNORANCE REIGNS LIFE IS LOST''
When are you gonna release your new album. We- all rage fans- look forward to hearing it soon. It is good to see Zack in the band again.
PS: We want to see you in Turkey as well.
please, please, please, come to ausria!!! you havent played here yet and its my biggest wish! please, come to austria (for instance to the nova rock fastival)
hello
I'm a french fan.
I hope you can come in France, like in 1994, at the "Eurockéennes" Belfort.
We are very optimist for an european tour, all frenchies wait your travel !!
(and sorry for the bad expression)
Bonne route et toujours dans le secret espoir de vous voir, sinon nous nous contenterons des albums ...
Hi RATM !
You're making real the dream of a generation, giving it his voice back ! ! You're the light showing the right way, the voice shouting the truth ! Don't give up the fight ! Peace, Unity & Freedom.
Fight the war, fuck the norm ;-)
Que sigan armando desmadre, Cheers from México
Be sure to make a statement regarding the terrorist laws in NZ when you come perform
Please rage you have to come to Mexico once again, it's been so many years since the battle of Mexico City and we are desparate for some more rage
the best band in the world
please,please!!!come to Belo Horizonte,brazil in 2008.I love R.A.T.M. before of to die I wish to go on the a SHOW of you!!!
Come to Brazil, everyone plays in Brazil, why make it different?
RAGE RAGE RAGE!!!
WELCOME BACK!!!!
How long have we waited for that!!
Don't forget about us down here in Brazil!!! we're hoping to have you guys here!!!!
Hello, Zack, and the rest of the band. I'm Carlos Velozo, from Chile, Neruda's land. I started listening to RATM when I was 15, about 12 years ago, and I've always felt identified with your attitude towards the system, your non-commertial style, your commitment to truth and your way of being truthful on any stage. I mean, you didn't come to please the audience, but to slap their faces to wake them (us) up, didn't you? and if we like it, that's fine, if we don't, that's fine as well... you ain't selling shit here, are you?
Well, I just wanted to say that RATM is the only band I trust, know what I mean? and that's because you are who you are.
I'm glad you're back
Carlos V.
Until you appear on this blog for real, I just want to send you one BIIIIIIIIIIGGG
THANK YOU!!!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
Big respect and love from Serbia!
p.s.(you should have come here after Slovenia in 2000. I was in Slovenia together with my band mates, but my visa was at it's end and I hadn't managed to see you there, so I had to come back hoping that I would see you soon, but after that everything was over... Until now! Now you should ...HAVE TO!...come to Serbia. We really need you here.
Until 2000 lot of thing happened, I finished my psychology studies, got married, started working as a psychologist in a high school, BUT YOU ARE STILL MY FAVORITE BAND, AND YOU ARE STILL MY FAVORITE VOICE/VOCAL, but of course after my wife - no hard feelings :)
I wouldn't mind if you put me on your backstage guest list ;)
If you think you need any help/information from here, feel free to send an email, I'll do my best to help:

Hope to see you soon!
Guys, your music is more relevant now than it has ever been! This world needs you!
Zack i really love you; you are the #1 your lyrics are so true... xoxo

OK, Since this posts will be read by the real Zack, there is a question that I already posted on zdlr.net-forum(knowing that I wasn't talking to the man) :)
So:
Zack,
is it you in the "Guerrilla Radio" video in the right/up corner on the beginning of the video sewing on a machine, just as other "actors"???
Please let me know!
And if I am right...I definitely deserve to be on your VIP list (I'll pay the ticket for my wife) ;)
Best wishes!!

I'm not sure if it is allowed to post addresses here, but I'll try.
There is the address on zdlr.net forum, I mentioned on my previous post, so all of you, visiting this blog can see what I am talking about.

Bye!
It is so good to see you guys back at it. I have been a fan for many years and even when it seemed to be over I still stuck with the thought someday RAGE would continue what was meant to be to help free the minds of those in need. I am a bigger fan then I was back then. I truly understand the truth you guys have been pushing out since day one. I was a teen when I first heard RATM. I am now 27 and no other group/individuals has ever moved me or made me sit back, think and see the turth. I like many was lost or just enjoying the music but since those days I have truly listened and took time to understand your movement. Much love to you all. Raise your fist & resist.
Ciao,
Joshua X
"Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight. Psalm 1441:1"
When you guys broke up something inside me died i hated the fact zack had left and didnot belive it but as time passed i moved on, then one day my brother says rage are back it was like the spirit inside me has exploded and now is stronger than ever, if there was ever a time our youth need a voice it is right here right now and as each day passes till i see you at the big day out it is almost painful. Save some energy on your Australian tour for the sydney BIG DAY OUT. Peace, love and KEEP THE SPIRIT ALIVE..........
Finally the people that have the truth and knowledge of which I have lived by are back. Before RATM my life was nothing but a LIE but now everything is clear. So just DO WHAT YOU GUYS DO BEST SPREAD THE WORD. And lead our youth of today to a revolution.

lol! rage has totally entered the blogosphere!
Zack, if you ever read this, thank you for everything. You are an inspiration, and have changed my life, which is now dedicated to helping change the lives of others.
The world needs you back so badly! Fight the fascist power!
Hope you find your way to Roskilde Festival next summer!
HI GUYS, HOW ARE YOU??
WELL, FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR GETTING BACK TOGETHER,WE NEED MORE THAN EVER YOUR MUSIC AND POLITICAL SENSE...
I LISTEN TO YOUR MUSIC SINCE A COUPLE OF YEARS, BUT I HAVEN´T GOT THE OPORTUNITY TO WATCH PLAYING,SO PLEASE COME TO CHILE!! :D
OR SOUTH AMERICA, HERE THERE IS REVOLUTIONARY HISTORY,( maybe, just an idea, you could do the: "THE CHE´S TOUR"...like when ernesto guevara traveled all around south america to became what he is now days, one of your icons, and my too)
PLEASE COME!!... I KNOW YOU HAVE RELATIVES HERE ZACK!! :D
we want rage against the machine in Chile, please!! I´m not the only one!!
It would be absolutely amazing if you could add an Irish tour date, possibly in support of the Irish Anti-War Movement's protests at our country's Shannon airport being used as a stop-off point for U.S. torture and rendition flights to Iraq. Besides, it would just be a fucking amazing gig!!! Keep up the good work bro.
Great stuff, it would be absolutely amazing if you could add an Irish tour date, possibly as part of the Irish Anti-War Movement's protests at the American military using our Shannon Airport as a stop-off point for rendition and bombing flights. What a show it would be!!!

I hope someday rage against the machine tour will be in philippines

Ciao, You do a concert in italy it near future?
Zack, you're the biggest influence on the shaping of my ego that I've ever come across. You're lyrics got me interested in the world; you encouraged me to educate myself and see beyond dogma and the doctrines of conservativism. I am now a young anarchist who's a junior in high school, and because of my ideas I have been probed by the San Antonio police department. I thought domestic spying was reserved for terrorism, so apparently me, a young, white, rebellious anarchist, have become a terrorist.
I mention this as an example of what ideas can get us in to, though your conflict with authority goes far beyond mine. But like you said to those fascist motherfuckers at Fox, we will not stand down from these positions. We refuse to be silent, and we refused to lower our fists.
Thank you Zack. Take the power back.
P.S. If you somehow got back to me, that would mean more than you know. My email's calmlikabomb2691@netscape.net
Peace.

I'm feeling exactly the same way!!! I just can't belive it! I'll be there!!!
RATM are the MC5 of my generation and they have been sorely missed during a time when we needed them most. No band can get a mass of people to think, to act, to feel more than they can. I'm tired of feeling like my country has been hijacked by crooks and corporations and feel that I have to speak apologetically to my friends in other countries for the actions of the US. I'm awake Zack and I'm listening...
bring it .......... BRING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! F U C K I N G B R I N G I T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zack. Come to northern Europe... The ultra-conservative party called frp is gaining power, we need a revelation. We need RATM. And remember; You are the system when you stop fightin' it.

we'll change the course of history,do you remember your words?now i'm waiting 4 this and......italy's waiting 4 you!
I had tears in my eye when you guys split up, because i thought i was never gonna experrience a live concert by you. I hope you guys fine your way to Roskilde Festival in Denmark next summer. Or else ill find my way to you at Rock am ring or Pinkpop.
Thank you thank you thank you!
go to brazil please R.A.T.M !!!!!
After the great show of Cypress Hill in the SW festival in August of 2007 I'm going to have 1 more dream coming true, after losing your first and single show here in Lisbon many years ago you are back ... After 10 of July I can die happy ... :-D thanks RATM
http://www.myspace.com/chlivep
COME BACK BACK BACK! Brasilian fans are waiting for a concert for a loooonnng time! Our reality is much similar to that you talk about in the songs of RATM, Brazil is a real brother country to Mexico, a country with much more potenciality than whats it is achieving at the time.
And plus, your music is one of the best. Are you ready to be a rock legend like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd,The Clash? That's what RATM will be in the future, a legend, side by side whit Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, Radiohead, Blur, Oasis.
So, you return is very waited. FAN MOMENT: WE LOVE YOU RATM! HEHE.

Please Come to Brazil
Zack is please Zack it comes to Brazil in 2008, because a lot of people believe in you, all will go a lot of people she loves you all.
Please come to Brazil, it was for you to have come more you twisted the ankle, then please I implore for all the Brazilians it comes to BRAZIL that you won't be sorry!!!!!
It will be the best of the show of the world
Hey Zack! Just want to say that when I discovered Rage Against The Machine, and specially your lyrics, my thoughts on the world have changed drastically. I can´t stand seeing human rights being constantly put aside in most situations nowadays, and those suckers in the USA are encouraging that. They are the anarchists, not us! Thank you for existing and for spreading the message of freedom and revolution, without you the world would be a hopeless place. Hasta la victoria! Together we stand!
Francisco, from Portugal
since you guys last played sydneys big day out with an awesome rendition of fuck you with an australia day, invasion day mantra the festival has become a breeding ground for right wing racist flag waving fuckwits. please be sure and send them a message about where they can stick their bigotry and patriotism.
i'm just trying to get some people to go with me to germany. it's as near as it can be i'm from slovakia, student of political science. there is a lot of inspiration and energy in your music guys, no matter what is going to happen your four albums will be here forever and it will always be the best piece of music ever made, it's pointed, original, it has sense and heart and it is needed.
thank you for your reuniting i hope i will manage to get on that festival.
collecting money and people right now...
I am spanish from barcelona, i am anarchy (A)!!
Are you going to have a concert in spain
This post has been removed by the author.
and how about going to pepsi sziget festival in hungary? any chance ratm?
i'd love to see you playing in one of those "liberated" countries enjoying economic reforms, democracy and free market and of course endless economic growth.
btw i'm not anarchist, fascist or whatever... i think that ratm lyrics make perfect sense and their opinions are backed with relevant information, i don't like wild stupid parties who see the point of this music in f*cking, destruction and opposition to everything and everybody no matter what.
it's clean and clear that this world needs serious turn, revolution and wake up kick but it cannot be done the simple way, learn from history. use words where you need to use words and use your arms and legs to kick somebody to his ass when you need to...
mabuhay! ituloy ang laban!
COME BACK TO BRAZIL!!!
SAO PAULO / BRAZIL LOVE YOU!
TATOO
BRASIL needs RATM !!!!!!!!!!!
this country is dominated for corruption and fake democracy....
RATM is the hope and force for the revolution !!!!
sorry for the bad inglish !!!!
Hey,
I've been listening to your your music since I was 13. I've never been to one of your shows. Can you do a North American tour. Thanx for getting back together guys. It means so much to all of us.
Your music and lyrics have forever changed me as a person and the way I see our nation's stance and involvement in the world as we know it. Never stop saying what you have to say and give more power to the people, forever!
Can't wait for the Melbourne show!
hey Zack
I want to say
Rage against the machine
Is the best band of Hardcore/Rapcore/
Funkmetal/etc
I would like known
RATM comes to BRASIL?
thanks
flw
With the power and influence you have and the amount of shit going down in the world today I would LOVE to hear a new album!! Anything in the works? Your work is one of a kind and exquisite, and I hope you keep it up!
RATM THANK YOU!! so much for coming to New Zealand. I'm totally sad that its only one show and only at Big Day Out the worst concert/festival to be held in NZ, however i am willing to put up with an entire day out in the sunshine with drunk idiots just to see you guys after 11 years. last time ratm was here was in 1996, i was 15years old and it the best concert ever!! (in 1996 only one concert at BDO again! why not more shows???!!!). RATM has inspired me in such a way that i can't even explain. thank you for your words Zack and i'm so happy that this reunion has taken place...(i hate Audioslave, but Tom i like your one man revolution cd!) i've been counting down from 4 months, its now 4 days to go to the concert and i can't wait!!! i'm the girl in the rage shirts stalking every hotel in auckland at the moment, if its meant to be i'd love to meet RATM even for just 1 minute! (not sure what i'd say though besides 'your guys are awesome', 'marry me' and 'i love you' and lots of drooling..obviously..) but knowing my luck since i am a massive fan of ratm chances are i'll never get to meet them :( and i'll be the skinny brown skinned girl who gets to watch the concert of her favorite band all the way from the back, while other white drunk male idiots who don't even know who RATM are will take up all the space shoving us poor females right at the back.. :( alas, i am still excited RATM are coming!!
anyone else in auckland going to BDO? i'd love to meet fellow ratm fans

I wanted to thank because I increased listening your songs....come to Brazil because an east country needs the last message for your sound....I am from Belo Horizonte and it would like of you witness them live...
HASTA SIEMPRE COMPANHEIRO....
Resistência Contra a Máquina.
Thank you so much for being back. I've never been to a RATM concert and I want to so badly. Sadly, I heard you won't show up at Roskilde Festival in Denmark this summer because one of you is having a kid or something.. Which, of course, is a blessing and I can't congratulate the lucky one enough.. I just wondered, 'cause you're scheduled to play at Optimus Alive in Portugal, only four days after Roskilde? I still have hope you might show up.. But, I'm a patient girl and I can wait.. that is if I choose not to go to one of the other festivals to see you guys!
Love your lyrics, your music and your spirits. You can be nothing but a true inspiration and rolemodel for all kinds of people, you rock!
Also, I learned about the case of Mumia Abu-Jamal through you, and now I myself am fighting for his freedom.
Love, admiration and respect from a huge fan.
Thank you Zack, thank you for opening my eyes. Born in the tipical white and rich town, I though you were either a Democrat or a Republican, and that was it. Thanks to your lyrics, i have been able to look through both parties to find the corruption inside them.
You guys should come to the Bay Area, you have a lot more supporters than you think.
Long Live the Anarchist Revolution.
Zack, I am a hardcore Christian, and so aside from Jesus Christ, you are my hero...I believe American citizens can rise up against the greedy/evil corporations with violent gun power/mass-scale theft...and I'm not even kidding...and who better to run it than you guys...the only problem would be logistics/planning/when/where/recruiting "soldiers." I believe movies like "V for Vendetta" can actually be pseudo-blueprints for a REAL revolution...and who better to run it than you guys...With DEEP ADMIRATION/LOVE/RESPECT, "achameleon."
Thanks for reuniting RAGE. I would love to hear a new album. I know it's "another ball of wax," but please consider it in the future. We would all love to hear new music.

i migrated to NZ becoz of Bill Clinton bombing my country (serbia) my parents left all their freinds and family to save me and now the US is doing it to Iraq...may George bush and his blood thirsty goverment rot in hell and may freedom spread to every1 in the world. black or wite,young or old,poor or rich..your music lets me express my feeeling towards these NAZIs of today...u have showed me the way and last nite on the 18th of jan i was uz at big day out...the energy there was great and i hope one day u and all ur fans take it out side the white house and scare these pricks till
The world needs these lyrics, beats and honest people. The reunion is the best thing that could happen to do that, because with the band reformed more and more people will have their eyes opened to the REAL world. please please come to the leeds festival in the UK i have to see your work LIVE!
keep up the amazing work!!! please.
firstly, bring out a new album,the best abum ever style, your music hasnt dated in 20 years, i still listen to it like for the first time, just blow the world away. then do a super massive free concert, all invited, go down in history for the biggest gathering of people. the energy would create a fucking supernovae or something. just do what you do and no fucking around this time! i knew you'd be back,it never made sense. when your on stage, it must be the best feeling possible by the human body, why would you ever want to stop that, you are one band that is truely loved, do not disapoint! i truely am your biggest fan
Argentina is waiting for RATM!!! Pleaseee!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zack, I saw the speech you gave to your crowd in Auckland, New Zealand on "Youtube". It (the speech) was dead-on fantastic. I have also seen your 2-part interview with Noam Chomsky, in which the questions you asked him were there too dead-on fantastic. However, I personally believe Noam Chomsky is a bit too pacifistic/ "gradualistic" (if that's not a word I just coined it). I think we can overthrow the evil corporations/ politicians with violent gun-power/mass-scale theft. I said this in an earlier post, but the only problem would be logistics-when, where, how, who etc. A fantastic master-plan would be for a significantly HUGE group of armed AMERICAN guerrilla fighters (possibly fans of you) to infiltrate and take capture of the Capitol Building in Washington D.C. and possibly the White House as well...Then once we had COMPLETE control of both these buildings we could begin to read through highly-classified documents...This may seem a bit grandiose/far-fetched but theoretically if we ignore Chomsky's overly "gradualistic" ideas this "master-plan", with enough, and I mean HUGE numbers, of heavily-armed American citizens, physically bashing their way through heavily-armed security into the Capitol building and White House in Washington D.C. could be well...let's me just say...quite realistic in fact...at least I think...Call me a fanatic but I believe this "master-plan", if STRONG enough, could work...
