Rage had a schtick that worked like few other bands before or since.

Posted by Mel Profit (aka Mel Profit) Mar 3 '09, 12:17

think of the things they brought to the scene...from out and out socialists political messages to the whole rock/rap thing...to Morello's playing. I knew a couple of guitarists who were simply in love with him. It was embarrassing.

That was a good band right there. Green Day never did anything but make me tap my toes occasionally.

Rage made me want to go pee on important buildings.

  - Jesus of Suburbia is one of the more impressive rock tracks I've heard in the last few years. -- nm - TFox Mar 3, 12:22
  - I like Green Day ok, but American Idiot is a very solid album. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 3, 12:21
