Launch Radio Networks reports: RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE guitarist Tom Morello told Billboard.com on Tuesday (March 27) that the reactivated rap-rock pioneers have no plans at the moment to mount a full-fledged tour beyond the handful of shows already announced. Morello said, "Right now there are four shows booked. There's Coachella and then there's the three Rock The Bells shows (in July and August) with WU TANG CLAN, IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE, CYPRESS HILL and some other hip-hop artists, and right now that's all that's on the docket."
But Morello has not definitively ruled out a full-on campaign. The guitarist explained, "These times, I think, demand a voice like RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE to return. RAGE was certainly the most outspoken radical voice in music in the Nineties, and the seven years that RAGE was away the country went to hell. So I think it's overdue that we're back." Morello said the reunion came about when it became clear last fall that AUDIOSLAVE, his previous band with RAGE bassist Tim Commerford, RAGE drummer Brad Wilk and SOUNDGARDEN singer Chris Cornell, would not be touring anytime soon. He added that Commerford had "re-established a friendship" with RAGE frontman Zach de la Rocha, despite a rather acrimonious split in 2000. RAGE has begun rehearsing for its upcoming shows and Morello said that the band sounds "awesome." Morello will release his debut album as political folk alter ego THE NIGHTWATCHMAN, titled "One Man Revolution", on April 24. He plans to tour in support of the record. Confirmed RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE shows: April 29 - Indio, CA - Empire Polo Field (Coachella Festival) July 28 - New York, NY - Randall's Island Aug. 11 - San Bernardino, CA - National Orange Show Events Center Aug. 18 - San Francisco, CA - TBA -------------------- |

Morello is SO damn mysterious. It's almost as if he's taunting us Rage fans. If he were anyone else but Morello, I'd be royally pissed.

Tom Morello. Ignorant... or simply excited about a Rage reunion? I'm going to have to go with excited.

Its all good either way. Got my Coachella and San Bernardino tickets.
-------------------- I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid. You're afraid of us, you're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end, I came here to tell you how this is going to begin. Now, I'm going to hang up this phone, and I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world without you. A world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries. A world...where anything is possible.
Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you. |

I just don't believe Tom when he says this is it, though. He has a lot of shit up his sleeve...
