    Rage reunification?

    Does anyone have any news about the RATM reunion?

    I wonder if the current socio-political climate had anything to do with Zach and Tom's decision to reform the band?

    I'm kind of pissed that it's only one show and it's so far from me. Oh well....I suppose they'll be recording it for DVD. And who knows....maybe it will spark their interest and they'll do a whole tour.

    Oh. I didn't realize it was only just for one show. Still good news though.

    In addition to its eclectic, star-studded lineups, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has established a reputation for landing hot reunions — the Pixies and the Stooges among them. This year's coup is the reunion of thrashing political rockers Rage Against the Machine, who have not played together for almost seven years.

    The fiery quartet will reunite for a headlining show at the eighth edition of the festival — which will expand to three days, April 27-29, this year — according to an announcement from organizers. A report in the Los Angeles Times said the show will be a one-off; a spokesperson for the band could not be reached to confirm its long-term plans, and a representative for Rage vocalist Zack de la Rocha said the singer will not be commenting on the reunion. Rage also headlined the fest's maiden 1999 edition.

    Although rumors were rife about a Rage reunion in the days leading up to the announcement, guitarist Tom Morello downplayed them in an e-mail message to MTV News earlier this month. The group splintered in 2000, with Morello, bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk joining former Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell in the group Audioslave while vocalist/rapper Zack de la Rocha all but disappeared from the music scene. Though de la Rocha has sporadically appeared at public events and recorded songs with DJ Shadow, Saul Williams and Blackalicious, his long-rumored solo album has not surfaced and he has made few public statements since the dissolution of Rage.
    The reunion is still in an early stage so no new stories are expected to surface until sometime next month. But apparently they are in talks right now about possibly doing a tour as well as Coachella. Fingers crossed.

    Linkin Park are ultra lame. couldnt pay me to see them. I hate the singer. Fort Minor is decent though.
    If its real maiden, then its worth it.
