Yesterday, The PRP reported that RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE might be planning a tour to celebrate 20 years of the release of their groundbreaking self titled album. The rumor surfaced after legendary bassist Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath spoke with Eddie Trunk during NAMM, and he said this regarding who will be playing drums during BLACK SABBATH's upcoming tour dates (Details HERE!):
“We’re not sure yet, we don’t know. ‘Cause I think Brad‘s got commitments with Rage Against The Machine. And… so it will either be Tommy [Clufetos] or Brad [Wilk], depending on their commitments.”
But what about a NEW R.A.T.M. record? Here is what the bands guitarist and visionary Tom Morello posted on Twitter earlier today:
Appreciate the enthusiasm but 'no new rage album' is kinda like 'not seeing a unicorn'. It's not exactly NEWS. — Tom Morello (@tmorello) February 6, 2013
The Pulse Of Radio have confirmed that Tom Morello from RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE will be filling in for Steve Van Zandt during the upcoming BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN & THE E STREET BAND's Australian tour.
According to Rolling Stone, Van Zandt will be busy shooting his Netflix series, "Lillyhammer", during the bands Australian trek. The tour kicks off on March 14 in Boondall, Australia. Van Zandt will return to the band on April 29 when the tour hits Fornebu, Norway.
As we all know, Morello and Springsteen have quiet some musical history together. Morello has jammed as a special guest guitarist with Springsteen at various gigs. He also played a few solos on Springsteen's 1995 classic 'The Ghost Of Tom Joad' (covered by RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE).
Additionally, Morello was part of two song from Springsteen's newest album entitled 'Wrecking Ball'. The songs are called "Jack of All Trades" and "This Depression". Morello also sat in with Springsteen during his most recent appearance on NBC's "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" and at The Boss' March appearance in Austin the night of his keynote address at South By Southwest.
Rolling Stone recently chatted with RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE guitarist Tom Morello about the band's immediate future plans following the release of 'XX', the deluxe-edition reissue of RATM's the bands self-titled debut album.
Asked why it is so difficult to stage a RAGE tour at this point, Tom said, "We'd have to agree to go on one. Once a year, the band meets and very seriously discusses and turns down awesome offers to tour the world. That's part of the program. I'm very grateful that we did agree to do is this box set, which we're very, very proud of. Some of those early videos, you know, we're playing these clubs for 25 people. I remember that period very, very well. I had been in a lot of bands before RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, bands that had tried hard to make it, and with that band, with RAGE, it just spontaneously combusted. It immediately connected with something in the reptilian brain of fans of rock, hip-hop, punk, metal, activists in a way that was global right off the bat."
On the topic of his relationship with his bandmates today, Tom said, "Oh, I mean, we communicate fairly regularly, and my relationship with those three guys is what it's been for some time. I love them. I consider them brothers and brothers-in-arms, and whether or not we ever play music again in any capacity is unknown. I'm grateful for the music we played together, and thank goodness the cameras were rolling at that first show at Cal State Northridge, and it's been very hard. For me, as a fan, not just as a member of the band, it's some of the most exciting stuff I've ever had the pleasure to hear, let alone to be a part of."

"It doesn't feel like 20 years, but at the same time it's sobering that it is," Morello says. "There's no crystal ball that we could've looked into when we were writing these songs in 1991 that would have told us we'd be talking about this record over two decades later. And I will say that 20 years later we're able to take pride in the fact that in the history of rock music there has never been a more popular band with as radical politics as Rage Against The Machine, nor has there been a band with more radical politics than Rage Against The Machine that has been as popular. That is the lasting testament to the first shot fired by this album and how it continues to resonate with rebels around the world."

Recently, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE bassists Tim Commerford teased the bands fans about some NEW music by one of the best bands of the nineties. Well, the bands guitarist Tom Morello has told Billboard that the bands has "no plans beyond" the Nov. 27 release of "Rage Against The Machine -- XX," a two-CD/two-DVD set commemorating the 20th anniversary of the band's landmark first album.
Here is what he had to say about the bands celebratory CD/DVD release:
"We're really psyched to be putting this out for the fans," Morello says. "We are blessed with having perhaps the most passionate fans to ever listen to a bootlegged recording or mosh at a show, so I want to really give them a motherlode of Rage Against The Machine history, past and present."
The "XX" set includes:
- The original album with three live track B-sides.
- RATM's original demo tape that includes the unreleased songs "Darkness of Greed" and "Clear the Lane."
- The DVDs include the group's June 6, 2010 performance in London's Finbury Park, music videos, live footage from 1992, 1993, 1996 and 1997.
- A homemade video if RATM's first public performance on Oct. 23, 1991 in North Ridge, Calif. Public Enemy's Chuck D wrote liner notes for the set.
"It doesn't feel like 20 years, but at the same time it's sobering that it is," Morello says. "There's no crystal ball that we could've looked into when we were writing these songs in 1991 that would have told us we'd be talking about this record over two decades later. And I will say that 20 years later we're able to take pride in the fact that in the history of rock music there has never been a more popular band with as radical politics as Rage Against The Machine, nor has there been a band with more radical politics than Rage Against The Machine that has been as popular. That is the lasting testament to the first shot fired by this album and how it continues to resonate with rebels around the world."
RATM has been inactive since performing at the LA Rising festival during July of 2011 in Los Angeles. Frontman Zack de la Rocha had previously indicated the group would make another album, its first since "Renegades" in 2000, while Commerford told TMZ during October that the band was "maybe" working on a NEW album. Meanwhile, Morello, who released his most -- who released his latest album as The Nightwatchman, "World Wide Rebel Songs," in 2011 -- wouldn't say yet whether the group would consider similar anniversary treatments for its other three albums.
"One at a time, man!" he says with a laugh. "The good news is that we've got time to think about it. I think the next one ('Evil Empire') came out in '96, so there's four years to decide on that." But, he adds, there's a scarcity of possible bonus content. "There have been a lot of shows recorded professionally, but there are not unreleased songs," he notes.
Wondering what is going on in the RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE camp these days? Well, recently TMZ.com ran into bassist Tim Commerford and asked him whither the band is working on a NEW album? His response: "Maybe". A maybe is better than a no right?
RATM's last record, 'Renegades', was released in 2000 and they disbanded that same year due to creative differences. They reunited in 2007 and did a handful of shows, but ever since then nothing has happened.
In 2010, RATM's guitarist Tom Morello dismissed as "inaccurate" a quote from the group's frontman Zack De la Rocha where the singer reportedly said that the chances of the band recording a NEW album are better now than they have been before. "There's no plans for that now," Morello said. "The band gets along great, we're playing some of the best shows of our career over the last couple of years, and no one is ruling out that... But as a band, I hope that we will continue to, at a minimum, play shows in the future."

Recently, American politician Paul Ryan (GOP Vice President candidate) expressed his love for RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE and cited them as his favorite band. Here is what guitarist Tom Morello told Rolling Stone magazine about this surprising gesture of admiration:
"Paul Ryan's love of RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE is amusing, because he is the embodiment of the machine that our music has been raging against two decades...
"Don't mistake me, I clearly see that Ryan has a whole lotta "rage" in him: A rage against women, a rage against immigrants, a rage against workers, a rage against gays, a rage against the poor, a rage against the environment. Basically the only he's not raging against is the privileged he's groveling in front of for campaign contributions."
