Zach before Rage
Leslie Watts
Can anyone tell me what band Zach was in before Rage?
CharlotteSometimes
Heyo, Zack used to be in Inside Out. They've got an album called "No
Spiritual Surrender", on Revelation records. I think he was also in
another band called Hardstance before that, too.

The purpose of the Unofficial Rage Against the Machine FAQ is to provide a
resource for everyone who wants their questions answered cohesively and
reliably. You may use it as long as you don't change anything, I had a bad
experience with a certain person ripping it apart and basically doing what
he pleased with the content. Don't do that, it would be Bad.
This has not been approved by Epic/Sony or the band itself, and is therefore
unofficial. All copyrights are acknowledged. Epic/Sony are free to contact
me about anything at all. I hope to have the band's best interests in mind
and properly represented. The band's Production Manager, Rog Patterson, has
contributed some things, but that does not constitute endorsement.
Additions to the FAQ are denoted with bold in the Contents.
Version 1.7 adds a few more tattoos (yikes) and a couple birthdays.
If you for some reason need to give your input about this FAQ, send mail to

A...General Rage Information
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A-1 What is Rage Against the Machine?
Rage Against the Machine was formed in 1991 in Los Angeles. Their first
performance was at a friend's living room party, and they decided they had
something. They opened for multiple bands, and gained a following. Their
earliest demos were recorded for sale at their shows, and Atlantic Records
asked for a few copies to "check out." They then slapped their logo and name
on it and marketed it illegally. Their self-titled debut album on Epic (a
division of Sony) was released in November, 1992 (see C-2).
However, it goes far deeper than just the title of a band.
Lee Smith explains:
Rage by definition is violent uncontrolled anger. Rage is being fed up with
the Machine to the point of taking action.
The Machine is what we have come to know of as our governments, our
politics, our economies, the people and corporate conglomerates that have
come to dominate our society in this day and age. The Machine is the
oppression of people everywhere, from Mexico to China to the United States.
The Machine is the politics that keep the people out of power; keep the
poor in their place and the rich in the lap of luxury. The polluting fuel
that runs the Machine is money. The Machine has brainwashed the people with
the media that they control, and now the people have begun to believe that
the Machine is the only way to survive.
Rage Against The Machine is a people's movement everywhere to
try and push back the corporations, the governments, the empowered
moralists from controlling our lives.
Rage Against the Machine is about enlightening people, and changing minds
and attitudes towards a brighter future for all the people of the world.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A-2 - Didn't they break up?
This is partially true. Because of their almost-immediate signing with Epic
and the subsequent touring, they didn't really know each other as well as
they would have liked. So, they rented a house and one car in Atlanta to
live together for a while to get ready for the next album, and they just
about went crazy. They talked about breaking up, but decided that wouldn't
be right and didn't.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A-3 Did they perform at Lollapalooza?
Rage played in 1993's Lollapalooza tour. Lollapalooza is a showcase of
various alternative bands and acts (at least it used to be) that tours the
US each summer with a different lineup of guests. They also performed at
four stops in the southeast US in 1996.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A-4 Did they perform naked or something?
At the 1993 Lollapalooza (see A-3) stop in Philadelphia, they got up on
stage naked with PMRC (one letter per person) painted across their chests,
electrical tape on their mouths and with the guitars feeding back for
fourteen minutes and just stood there in protest. They played a free show a
few days later to make up for not performing their music. The PMRC is the
Parents Musical Resource Council, a group founded by Tipper Gore, that
promotes music censorship through stickers and ratings on albums and other
such means (see B-1-b-aa). For those of you who just have to know, yes they
were completely naked. Tom wasn't even wearing his hat. It was broad
daylight; the audience got quite an eyeful. You can find pictures around if
you really must see for yourself.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A-5 What happened on Saturday Night Live?
This is more than you ever wanted to know about the incident, from Rock Out
Censorship's official statement, by Kenny Moore:
Many of you were left wondering why Rage Against The Machine
performed only one song when they appeared on Saturday Night Live on
April 13th. We hope that many of you, once you know about what went down
behind the scene, will join us and never watch the show again, and to
express your opinions in writing or by phone to Saturday Night Live and
NBC executives.
As many of you know, the show was hosted that night by ex-Republican
presidential candidate, and billionaire Steve Forbes. According to RATM
guitarist Tom Morello, "RATM wanted to stand in sharp juxtaposition to a
billionaire telling jokes and promoting his flat tax...by making our own
statement."
To make that statement, RATM hung two upside-down American flags from
their amps. Seconds before they took the stage to perform "Bulls on
Parade", SNL and NBC sent stagehands in to pull the flags down. The
inverted flags, says Morello, represented "our contention that American
democracy is inverted when what passes for democracy is an electoral
choice between two representatives of the privileged class. America's
freedom of expression is inverted when you're free to say anything you
want to say until it upsets a corporate sponsor. Finally, this was our
way of expressing our opinion of the show's host, Steve Forbes."
RATM first attempted to hang the flags during a pre-telecast rehearsal on
Thursday, SNL's producers "demanded that we take the flags down," says
Morello. "They said the sponsors would be upset, and that because Steve
Forbes was on, they had to run a 'tighter' show." SNL also told the band
it would mute objectionable lyrics in "Bullet In The Head" (which was
supposed to be RATM's second song). SNL even insisted that the song be
bleeped in the studio because Forbes had friends and family there.
On show night, following the first performance, and the flags being torn
down, RATM were approached by SNL and NBC officials and ordered to
immediately leave the building. Upon hearing this, RATM bassist Tim Bob
reportedly stormed Forbes' dressing room, throwing shreds from one of the
torn down flags.
"SNL censored Rage, period. They could not have sucked up to the
billionaire more," said Morello. "The thing that's ironic is SNL is
supposedly this cutting edge show, but they proved they're bootlickers to
their corporate masters when it comes down to it. They're cowards. It
should come to no surprise that GE, which owns NBC, would find 'Bullet'
particularly offensive. GE is a major manufacturer of US planes used to
commit war crimes in the Gulf War, and bombs from those jets destroyed
hydroelectric dams which killed thousands of civilians in Iraq." Morello
noted that members of the Saturday Night Live cast and crew, whom he
declined to name, "expressed solidarity with our actions, and a sense of
shame that their show had censored the performance."
Because NBC is not a department of the U.S. Government, they were within
their rights to run their show as they see fit by censoring Rage Against
The Machine's performance. However, we as intelligent viewers and
citizens have the right to choose what shows we watch and make our
opinions known about how shows are being run. When SNL made the decision
to censor RATM, they did so because they were worried what the sponsors
of the show would think. They did not take into consideration what the
progressive minded fans of RATM would think of their decision, or even
what fans of their supposedly irreverent brand of comedy would think of
their decision. This is a slap in the face to all of us. If it were not
for the fans and viewers of the show, there would not be a show there for
the corporations to sponsor. Therefore, it is incumbent upon us to send
a strong message to the suits at NBC that we as viewers will not tolerate
programming decisions such as these. It is the nature of the television
industry that if the viewers are there, the corporate advertisers will
come. If some of the corporate suits get their feathers ruffled over
some controversy, but the ratings are still there, other sponsors will be
lining up to advertise with a popular show. However, if a show takes a
noticeable nose-dive in the ratings, ALL the sponsors will be abandoning
ship. To assist in sending the message to NBC that we will not tolerate
their decisions to censor artist's free expression, we urge everyone to
write or call NBC Viewer Services and express your "RAGE" at this blatant
act of censorship. Send your message to: NBC-TV, 30 Rockefeller Plaza,
ATTN: Viewer Services, New York, NY 10020. Phone: (212) 644-2333.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A-6 What is the relationship between them and...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A-6-a ...Tool?
Tom and Adam Jones, the guitarist from Tool, went to high school together
and played in a garage band called Electric Sheep. Brad and Tom played
"Calling Dr. Love" on the KISS tribute album with Maynard Keenan (Tool) and
Billy Gould (Faith No More). They called themselves Shanti's Addiction.
Maynard does the "I've got no patience now..." interlude on RATM's "Know
Your Enemy." Tom Morello is thanked on Tool's "Opiate" EP.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A-6-b ...Pearl Jam?
Rage opened for them on several dates in 1992, thanked the group on their
first album, and Brad Wilk played drums for them during a tour of Europe
before joining Rage.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A-6-b ...Public Enemy?
Chuck D and the band are good friends. Zack has performed with him at
various shows, and he is rumored to have something to do with the next
album. He raps with Zack on "Zapata's Blood" on the "People of the Sun"
single.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A-7 Isn't being on Epic more than a little hypocritical?
I believe Tom says it best:
A lot of labels contacted us, and lots of them just didn't seem to
understand what we wanted to do. They kept talking about the message of the
music as a gimmick. They were interested in us just because there was a
buzz... They saw us as the latest local rock band to be hyped. But Epic
agreed to everything we asked--and they've followed through... we never saw
a
conflict as long as we maintained creative control. When you live in a
capitalistic society, the currency of the dissemination of information goes
through capitalistic channels. Would Noam Chomsky object to his works being
sold at Barnes & Noble? No, because that's where people buy their books.
We're not interested in preaching to just the converted. It's great to play
abandoned squats run by anarchists, but it's also great to be able to reach
people with a revolutionary message, people from Granada Hills to
Stuttgart.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A-8 How can I contact Rage? Are they on the net?
Rage Against the Machine PO Box 2052 Los Angeles, CA 900069
email: RAGE...@aol.com
http://www.ratm.com/
The web site is the "Official" site, although you can find far more
information on the fan pages. Tour dates are best found at Sony's general
artist information page, as it is updated daily. All dates can be found
there, in many cases even before anyone at the venue itself knows about it.
As to them being on the net, I can verify that Tom is. Zack has said that he
doesn't think the internet is a good thing because it prevents people from
taking action and just lets them write about it (hmmm...). I have no idea if
Brad or Tim are or not.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A-9 Are Rage communists, or what?
Or what. They aren't communists, they call themselves Socialists. Keep in
mind that the hammer and sickle symbolism isn't "communist", it is
signifying the proletariat.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A-10 What does Rage have against sampling?
They don't have anything against sampling in the least. It is commonly
thought that because of the disclaimer in the liner notes that they somehow
disapprove of it. Not true. They are simply proud of the fact that they can
create those sounds without the use of machinery. Tom is apparently even a
fan of industrial music and Zack is into hip-hop.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A-11 Does Rage hate white people?
Some people apparently think this. No, they do not. Rage is against all
discrimination. Besides, how can a band hate whites when the bassist and
drummer are white, the guitarist is half-white, and the vocalist is of mixed
race? Some people just don't get it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A-12 Ack! Those tattoos!
Everyone but Tom apparently has at least one. Zack has Dr. Martin Luther
King on his left shoulder, and Brad has a huge swirly thing on his left
shoulder to his elbow and an emblem of sorts on his right upper arm. Tim has
a BLACK armband on his left shoulder and a BLACK shoulder-pad looking design
that goes from his neck to about where a t-shirt would extend, across his
chest to his pectoral. There is a green face near the elbow, and a huge face
across exactly half of his back. When I say "BLACK" I mean honest-to-god
black; it looks like paint. Ouch. He also has a large design over his entire
lower left leg.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
B...Band Information
------------------------------------------------------------------------
B-1 Who are the members of Rage?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
B-1-a Zack de La Rocha, vocals/lyrics
Zack was born January 12, 1970 in Long Beach, CA and is primarily Chicano in
descent. His parents separated when he was a child. His father was an artist
(see B-1-a-aa), and he grew up with his mother in Irvine, CA. Before Rage,
Zack sang in band called Inside Out and played guitar in a band called
Hardstance. He writes and performs poetry and organizes local shows in
addition to his Rage-related activities. He is also currently involved in
building a community center near his home.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
B-1-a-aa Is Zack related to Beto de la Rocha?
Beto is Zack's father. He was a founding member of Los Four, a group of
Chicano artists who created murals in Los Angeles and was crucial to the
early Chicano mural movement. He had a breakdown in 1983, during which he
and a young Zack destroyed all of his work. He then isolated himself in his
house, becoming devoutly religious. He has since reemerged and runs an ice
cream shop in LA and has performed poetry with Zack. After experiencing his
son's work, he has taken up painting and writing once again.
Beto's ice cream can be found at:
560 N.Westlake
V.L.A.C 90026
413-7861
------------------------------------------------------------------------
B-1-a-ab Does Zack speak Spanish?
Nope.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
B-1-b Tom Morello, guitar
Tom Morello was born in New York City in 1964 and grew up in the Chicago
suburb of Libertyville. His father was a member of the Mau Mau guerrilla
army which freed Kenya from British colonial rule, see B-1-b-aa for
information on his mother. Tom graduated from Harvard in 1986 with an honors
degree in Political Science. Before joining Rage, Tom was in an LA band
called Lock Up, which released an album on Geffen.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
B-1-b-aa Tom's Mom
Tom's mom, Mary, is Italian and Irish and founded Parents For Rock & Rap
(see G-4), an anti-censorship organization, in 1987. She recently won the
Hugh Hefner First Amendment Award, for her work in the organization in June
of 1996. She traveled with Rage when they were with Lollapalooza, and
introduced them as "The best fucking band on this tour."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
B-1-c Tim Commerford, bass
Tim's father is an aerospace engineer. He is the youngest of five kids, and
his mother was a mathematician who died of brain cancer when he was seven.
His family dissolved and he lived with his father after that. He and Zack
have been friends since elementary school, and it was Zack who turned him on
to playing bass. He follows Brad Wilk's philosophy of being in the band for
the music, but has since decided it is also about "education." He writes
poetry on the side, and loves jazz.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
B-1-c-aa Why does Tim keep changing his name?
Tim was listed as "Timmy C." on RATM, then as "Tim Bob" on Evil Empire. He
has said that he will change his name for every album, though he has given
no reason why.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
B-1-d Brad Wilk, drums
Brad was born September 5, 1968 in a hospital/sanitarium in Portland,
Oregon. After watching money ruin his father as a child, he tries to put
minimal worth in material things. He is in the band for the music, and is
not especially politically inclined. He admits that Rage is a political
band, and that opening people's eyes is a great thing, but that sometimes
"People want to be rocked... and we will rock you."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
B-2 What equipment does the band use?
Many thanks to Rog Patterson, the band's production manager, for this
definitive information.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tom's main guitar is a Strat-style body modeled after a Kramer with an
extra-wide rosewood Performance neck. The hardware is from all different
guitars. Tom also brings a stock Fender American Standard Telecaster along
on the road, just to be safe. Other guitars have also been seen in various
photographs and performances, but specifications are unknown. Tom claims
they are all "mongrels."
Note: The custom is the blue one, with "Arm the homeless" written on it, and
a small red/yellow hammer and sickle sticker. The Telecaster is yellow. One
of his other "backup" guitars has "Sendero Luminoso" written on it and is
black and white.

B-3 What other bands would I like?
Bands similar to Rage that are popular with Rage fans include:
•Beastie Boys •311 •Downset •Minor Threat
These bands typically share the rap-with-rock that is the core of Rage
(except Minor Threat), and are all great bands. Check them out.
Everybody knows the Beastie Boys.
311 are a pop version of Rage's style.
Downset is very similar to Rage but may be hard to find.
Minor Threat was the original straight-edge hardcore punk band in the early
eighties. Zack has named them as a major influence.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
C...Recordings
------------------------------------------------------------------------
C-1 What does xxxxxx in the lyrics to xxxxxx mean?
Some of the most frequently asked questions have to do with things mentioned
in various songs (such as, What does "Get offensive like Tet" mean in the
song People of the Sun?). This particular section is so large, a separate
FAQ is maintained (by me) to deal with it. It is the RATM Obscure References
FAQ, and you can always get the new version at:

Saigon, Vietnam on June 11, 1963 to protest the rule of Ngo Dinh Diem, the
American backed leader of Vietnam who was leading an anti-Buddhist campaign
in southern Vietnam. This action was witnessed and filmed by many members of
the American media and led to the end of the Diem rule in Vietnam. This
photo won the 1963 Pulitzer Prize.

Pinkpop is a European music festival that Rage has played at for several
years. This special edition has a slightly modified cover and different
tracks, including all of the Bullet in the Head single.

C-4-e-aa My version has a family on the cover, not a microphone. Why?
are two versions of this single; the Australian version whose cover artwork
is a shot of a militia family wearing camouflage and carrying guns in their
living room (with a couple children with AK-47's as well). The other version
is a simple drawing of a microphone, but the mouthpiece is a grenade ("This
microphone explodes, shatterin' the molds...").

C-5 What about other stuff? (Miscellaneous)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
C-5-a I got this weird 45 in the mail. What is it?
If you ever sent something to the address in RATM, you probably wondered
just which black hole it fell into. Well, it turns out Rage's manager was a
jackass and the fan club address had become backlogged with thousands of
people and mail. Rage dumped the manager, and are sending this, in a packet
with information on EZLN (see section G-1) as a sort of apology.
Fuck tha Police is Rage's only released cover, and is an NWA song from
several years back. It is taken from the Mumia Abu-Jamal benefit (see
section G-2) in Washington DC on 8/13/95. Bombtrack is the "Swing" version
from Mark Goodier's Evening Sessions, on the BBC. It can also be found on
several singles and bootlegs.
The record is only available from this source.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
C-5-b What about soundtracks and compilations?
Rage is featured on:
Higher Learning soundtrack:Year of the BoomerangThe Crow
soundtrack:DarknessTonnage (Sony) compilation:Freedom (Live)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
D...Propaganda and Images
------------------------------------------------------------------------
D-1 What is going on with...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
D-1-a ...the guy's face on the shirts and singles?
The guy on the Bombtrack single is Che Guevara, a leader of the communist
revolution in Cuba and attempted revolutions elsewhere in Central America
and eventually in Africa. He is seen on old TV propaganda from Cuba on CNN
every now and then. He was a dashing military man with a very romantic
image. Rage also has the same image painted onto Tom's cabinet.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
D-1-b ...the kid with the gun to his head?
The guy with the gun is General Nguyen Ngoc Loan, head of the South
Vietnamese National Police. The kid getting shot is a Vietcong terrorist.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
D-1-c ...the woman on the poster and shirt?
This artwork is from the cover of Promissory Notes: Women in the Transition
to Socialism, by Sonia Kruks, et al. (See C-3-c.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
D-1-d ...the four guys with guns and hoods?
These are Zapatista freedom fighters. See G-1 for further information.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
E...Movies and Video
------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-1 What songs are music videos?
There have been several Rage videos.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-1-a Freedom
The video for Freedom deals with the case for Leonard Peltier (see section
G-2-b), while the band plays live.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-1-b Bombtrack
If you can provide this information, send mail to ratt...@cts.com.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-1-b-aa Why have I never seen this on MTV?
Its airplay was banned by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission), which
prohibits it from ever being shown over the airwaves in the USA. Its legal
status is unknown in other countries, however.
As to WHY it was banned...
If you can provide this information, send mail to ratt...@cts.com.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-1-c Killing in the Name
Shots of the band playing live. There is a scene where a security guard
stops some kid from stage-diving and Zack goes and confronts him over it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-1-d Bullet in the Head
Shots of the band playing live.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-1-e Bulls on Parade
An outdoor stage performance of Bulls on Parade is interspersed throughout
clips of young people organizing in the streets with political signs,
military drills, and other similar images. Various lyrics are flashed on top
of these scenes in a scrawled sort of handwriting throughout.
Antique-looking film is used with scratches, dust, etc.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-1-f People of the Sun
Statistics illustrating the plight of the Zapatistas are shown from a film
projector being run in a morgue where the bodies of dead Latinos are stored.
Military footage of US arms arriving in Mexico and the Zapatistas themselves
are interspersed with this and shots of the band playing in front of a brick
wall in about a 10 by 10 space. The version seen on MTV is the edited
version; scenes of a Mexican worker being buried alive and trampled, and
dead teenagers in the morgue, have been removed and replaced with military
footage.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-2 What songs have appeared in movies?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-2-a The Crow
"Darkness" is heard coming from a car's sound system as it drives past the
hot dog stand that the cop and the girl eat at several times during the
movie. It is also found on the soundtrack.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-2-b Higher Learning
The earliest version of Year of the Boomerang is on the Higher Learning
soundtrack, and is played when Remy is hanging his posters in his dorm room.
A differently-mixed version of Tire Me is played during a confrontation with
a gun, and YOTB shows up again for the chase scene.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-2-c Natural Born Killers
"Bombtrack" and "Take the Power Back" do not appear on the sountrack, but
appear in the movie. "Bombtrack" starts when Mickey Knox grabs the shotgun
and starts shooting to initiate the riot, and runs right together with "Take
the Power Back", which picks up part way through. The complete songs aren't
heard, just the fastest sections and the chorus to TtPB.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
F...Imports
------------------------------------------------------------------------
F-1 Are there any Rage imports (bootlegs)?
Yes, there are several dozen, actually. Complete listings can be found at
many web pages.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
F-1-a What ones are good?
Due to the fact that there are dozens of bootlegs available, it really is
impossible to pick the "best," but some are better than others. These are
generally considered to be "Save the Planet/American Headlines," because of
the excellent quality and varied tracklist, and "Dirty Dozen" because it
contains twelve original demos from 1991, with several unreleased songs that
you should get your hands on. "Bombs & Bullets" is also excellent.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
F-1-b Are these illegal? Where can I get them?
As brought to my attention by Gaz Jones (in the UK), all following
information is for the USA ONLY (where I live). The illegality and such
varies widely with different countries, so don't believe any of this ouside
the US.
They are, technically, illegal, because the music is copyright and you
aren't paying the owner of the copyrights any money for it. However, no one
cares, and you really shouldn't either. The best way to get them is to trade
with people you know are reliable and aren't going to rip you off, and you
can also buy them at most independent music stores. The major chains do not
carry them, don't bother. The typical price for one in CD format is $25.00,
but that can vary depending on a variety of factors. My advice: trade for
them, don't buy them.
However, Gaz says:
Trading isn't the best way. The best way is to copy any bootlegs you've
got for anyone that wants them like I do. I've only got bombs & bullets
and a few live tracks from Glastonbury I recorded though. Better to
ask someone to send you a tape so you can copy a bootleg, but that
person to send you a tape with a bootleg he/she`s got. Much fairer.
Copy 'em for everyone that wants them.

G...Affiliations
------------------------------------------------------------------------
G-1 EZLN
(see section G-4)
The EZLN is the Ejercito Zapatista de Liberacion Nacional (Zapatista
National Liberation Army). It principally operates in the state of Chiapas,
although its demands and influence are national. The members of the EZLN are
primarily indigenous people from the Lacandon region of Chiapas, Mexico. The
EZLN has around 12,000 troops, 2-3000 of whom are fairly well-armed. There
are 11 general demands of the EZLN, as outlined in the 1st Declaration From
the Lacandon Jungle; they are: work, land, shelter, food, health, education,
autonomy, freedom, democracy, justice, and peace. The EZLN took its name
from the Mexican revolutionary leader Emiliano Zapata, who led the armies of
the south in the Mexican Revolution, developed the Plan de Ayala (see the
RATM Obscure References FAQ), and was eventually betrayed and killed. The
movement was born just over 10 years ago in the Lacandon jungle.
Zack has visited the region to "help out" the EZLN on several occasions, and
often wears a shirt with "E Z L N" written on the chest. Several Evil Empire
songs deal with this subject as well. For further information, see G-4 and
the Obscure References FAQ.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
G-2 Mumia Abu-Jamal
Information provided by Refuse & Resist! (see section G-4)
At the time of his arrest, he was a prominent radio journalist and president
of the local chapter of the Association of Black Journalists. Mumia was also
a strident critic of Philadelphia's racist police force, and was affiliated
with the Black Panthers. One evening in 1981 when Mumia was moonlighting as
a cab driver, he came upon a cop beating his own brother. The street was
full of people (the bars had just closed) when Mumia ran to his brother's
defense, and after the ensuring conflict, Mumia was sitting on the curb shot
in the body, his brother was bleeding from the face, and the cop lay dead.
Following his arrest, he was beaten several times by police and was said by
police to have confessed to the murder of the police officer. Mumia has
always maintained that he did not kill the cop, and a number of witnesses
blamed another man who fled the scene. Prosecutors argued for the death
penalty by reciting his history in the Black Panthers and quoting his
political writings. Mumia was to be put to death for consorting with
radicals and upholding revolution. Mumia sits on death row because of who he
is and the political views he advocates. He exposes police brutality and
racism and stands with revolutionary peoples throughout the world.
Rage performed in the Mumia defense fund benefit in the Capitol Ballroom,
Washington, DC on August 13, 1995. A bootleg of this performance called
"Killing Your Enemy in 1995" can be found (see section C-5-a).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
G-3 Leonard Peltier
(see section G-4)
Leonard Peltier was a leader of AIM, the American Indian Movement. In the
late 1970's, at Pine Ridge, a group of FBI and ATF agents approached a
building where Peltier and other AIM members were trapped. A siege and
shootout followed where 2 FBI agents were shotgunned to death. Peltier was
arrested and plead not guilty, however he would not reveal who did the
shootings. He has since resided in the Federal Prison at Leavenworth,
Kansas.
Rage gave a free concert for him which raised $70,000+ for his defense fund,
and give out information about the case whenever possible (see section G-4).

New Intervju with Zack
Super Fury Animals
Having ignited the world and its brother with their heady mix of rap, metal
and politics three years ago, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE promptly vanished off
the face of the earth. Did they split up, or were they just too bloody angry
to make another record? Er, neither, ZACK DE LA ROCHA tells VOX, as he
unveils the bandąs latest aural assault, ŚEvil Empireą...
By Amy Raphael
Convincing Zack to talk is as difficult as making Courtney Love shut up. He
is a highly strung individual whose past is shrouded in mystery and who
refuses to discuss his lyrics. He will talk vaguely about growing up in the
rich white suburb of Irvine, California as an outsider (he was the only
Chicano on the street) and he will say heąs proud of ŚEvil Empireą, but
thatąs as far as it goes. Zackąs main concern is being involved in his local
community-talk about the center he works at and he stops sounding defensive.
He may claim to have łbeen chosen˛ to pursue a career in music, but he
sounds far more excited when discussing politics. Which makes you wonder
whether this is the last album RATM will make, and the last tour they will
survive. . .
Why are you so elusive?
łAm I? I donąt mean to be. Today Iąve just been cleaning my pitiful house.
Itąs a fucking joke. I got back from doing the Big Day Out in Australia
three weeks ago and I havenąt unpacked yet. Iąve been working on a lot of
different things here, so Iąve kinda put it off. It finally became
unbearable, so I had to deal with it.˛
What are you working on?
łA combination of music and non-music stuff. I am a member of a collective
composed of musicians, artists and students, and which, since 1992, has been
trying to create a space for direct action among the people of east Los
Angeles. Weąre trying to create a center for popular resource and resistance
and trying to maintain a community dialogue about some of the US policies
currently affecting our community. We hold political education forums which
have really provided space for young artists and people who are excluded
from the economic agenda. Just lately, weąve been trying to acquire a
non-profit status for our center. Itąs a bureaucratic nightmare.˛
Does your public profile help?
łI think so. It helps a little bit, although Iąve tried to de-emphasize it
because I want this thing to grow on its own.˛
Is the center and all it stands for more important to you than RATM?
łPersonally, I donąt recognize the boundaries between music and political
action. But as an artist, I canąt sit around talking shit and collecting
royalty checks. I donąt see that as my role in this band. I donąt feel
comfortable with that. Or having our presence grace everyone at a benefit;
that isnąt something I see as a way to create change during my lifetime.˛
Do pop and politics mix? Bands who are public about their political/charity
involvement often seem to think it enhances their public image.
łWouldnąt it just be so terrible if all of a sudden bands had a lot to say?
Haha. I think that Rage, to an extent, has become an alternative media for
young people-or people who the corporately owned media has a very vested
interest in alienating, in ensuring that they donąt become politically
active. If Rage can somehow directly inform these people, I donąt see
anyting wrong with that. In terms of increasing my image, I havenąt even
been in the public forum in terms of press. My role in promoting the band is
very limited. I donąt really worry myself with it for the most part. I want
to see my concerns put into action in the community. I donąt think our
message and the music that we play will have any real effect in terms of
educating people, unless itąs done...unless we integrate ideas with the
working poor of the communities that we come from.˛
So do you reckon youąre 100 percent free of a rock star ego?
łHahaha. Well, I try to keep myself grounded. I really do. I have a very
difficult time with my position as a result of the bandąs popularity. Iąm at
constant war with it. A person who has that much attention placed on them is
destined to come into conflict with themselves at some point and I try my
best to alleviate it entirely, although Iąm sure Iąve been affected by it
some way.˛
But surely you canąt get on stage without an ego?
łOne of the things Iąve come to understand is that it wasnąt a choice for
me. Creating music and expressing myself in the way that I do was just a way
of surviving. I had no other direction at the time. I had been completely
alinated by the education system. I had no place there, due to a lot of
circumstances. One: my father was an artist and an activist in the Ś70s who
formed an art collective. It was the first Chicano art group to ever have an
exhibit at LA County Museum of Art. It was pretty significant in reaffirming
the Chicano identity. But he was a pretty troubled guy and as a result of
his problems he mentally abused me for most of my life. Which made it
virtually impossible for me to acclimatise to the rigidity of the education
system.˛
Because you were having problems at home?
łThat was one factor. Two: I was in a community where the rule of thumb for
a Chicano in an all-white suburban environment was because I constantly had
a broom or a mop or a hammer in my hand. It was very tough for me. Three:
being bombarded with the military history of rich white men-we live in an
era where history is told solely by the conquerors-was very difficult to
swallow. I felt in fear and lost in that environment. It made it
exceptionally difficult for me to exceed in an academic environment.˛
Did you feel able to speak out in class, to put your views across?
łI was a virtual mute until I began to listen to Sex Pistols, Government
Issue, Minor Threat and Bad Brains and a lot of East Coast hardcore. It
struck a nerve in me when I was 16.˛
As a virtual mute, did you communicate with anyone?
łI had a very close relationship with my mother. That helped. I had very few
friends. I didnąt speak that much to people. I rarely found myself in the
classroom for more than half a semester. I thought, well, Iąm not doing
anything in school...˛
And then?
łOh man. I started playing music. Hahaha. I started venting in some way all
of the fear and alienation and confusion I felt. I just kind of exploded. It
became the only thing I could put any of myself into.˛
So you werenąt interested in, or able to talk to girls?
łHahaha. Of course I was interested.˛
If you were a virtual mute, it must have been hard to get a date.
łIt was, and believe me I had very few. Very few. I think my high school
experience pushed me through a crisis of identity, it enabled me to be more
of a critical individual. It made me question the institution I was forced
to adjust to and my relationship with society. Those four years or so during
high school were what eventually politicised me, cause the experience made
me step back and take a look at how I was being indoctrinated. Once Iąd
left, I became engaged in reading and since then, Iąve gone through my own
self-education.˛
When you became Śpoliticisedą, did you stop being a virtual mute?
łNo. It had a lot more to do with forcing me to recognize who I was and
precisely where I stood in relation to the American economic system. I just
began to identify with the poorest people in my community.˛
Even though you were brought up in a middle-class community.
łYeah, but I didnąt have that kind of wealth. I lived in a very poor student
housing project with my mom. It was an ugly, roach-infested community. I
never experienced any kind of privilege in my life.˛
Until you became a rock star.
łHahaha. The most money Iąd ever seen at one time was the first check from
Epic: $5,000 to go buy equipment with.˛
Did you feel guilty about that?
łNo. Absolutely not.˛
People who donąt have money when theyąre growing up feel some sense of guilt
if they suddenly start earning big bucks.
łI admit to a little bit of guilt now, but certainly not then, not at all.˛
How does a self-confessed right-on, Marxist band deal with massive record
companies? Would you have been as happy in RATM if youąd continued making
demo tapes and selling them at gigs?
łThat was what I was used to doing before Rage. My first band, Inside Out,
was signed to a small indie label and we were very happy touring the West
and East coasts. At that point-I was 19,20-I began to be really influenced
by Bob Marley and Public Enemy and The Clash. I saw them as being able to
use music as a way of opening up the spectrum of ideas. I was curious as to
the massive communicative network a corporation like Sony could provide.
Ultimately, although a lot of people have criticised us for being in bed
with our enemies, I disagree. I think that itąs a mutually exploitative
situation. The kind of information that people can get as a result of using
Sony is much more important than what some people would consider an
endorsement.˛
Of course, the band exercises total control over everything it does. You
could spend a decade making a record if you felt like it.
łHahaha. Obviously the four years it took us to put out 11 songs is a
testament to that. And we were very fortunate to have several record
companies bidding over us. I think that helped in getting total control.˛
Do you feel pessimistic about the future? Do you care who wins the next
election?
łI see very little difference between the two parties. They eat from the
same trough; they serve the same purpose...there is very little difference
between a liberal and conservative capitalist. I have no faith, nor do I
align myself with, nor do I recognize the legitimacy of the current
political system. What I have seen, by being involved with the communities,
is a much more empowered and enraged student movement, one which aligns
itself with the struggles of janitors and of indigenous communities in
south-east Mexico. Iąm very happy to see this. Particularly about the
Zapatistas, because they represent something completely new. Since the fall
of the Soviet Union, they have challenged the entire global economic system
as it stands. Iąve spent time with the people there and tried to learn as
much as I can about that movement and I feel very encouraged. Although the
future is dim because thereąs going to be a lot of blood shed and a lot of
struggle.˛
Thereąs a game on RATMąs website on the net where you go inside Zackąs head
and try to eat all the burning monk pictures before time runs out. Included
in the pictures are Hitler, Clinton, Che Guevara, Il Duce....
łHahaha. I havenąt seen that Iąm only just beginning to learn about
computers. Thatąs excellent. Il Duce is on there? Wow! Iąm gonna check that
out! At least people are beginning to identify them. But ultimately, the
Internet prevents people from getting out and being involved on the street
at a grass roots level.˛
RATM have contributed songs to several film soundtracks- ŚBombtracką and
ŚTake the Power Backą in Natural Born Killers. Do you monitor each film for
its PC levels?
łHmmm. We think movies are great. Weąll send our music out to anyone. No, we
always read the treatments. I saw JFK and Platoon and some other Oliver
Stone films-they are all very interesting movies. Nixon is excellent. Can
you believe the reaction against this film? When I was in Australia doing
the Big Day Out, papers were running cover stories about Oliver Stoneąs
Śmisrepresentation of historyą. Before people had even seen the movie. Here
you have this international campaign to protect the image of a dead
murderer. If that film came out again, Iąd put another song on it.˛
Rumour has it that RATM split up during 1995.
łNo, we never broke up.˛
Can you put your hand on your heart and swear that you all love one another?
łHahaha. I think we have a genuine respect for one another. You get four
people who have this much attention placed on them and there are going to be
major differences. We are very opinionated people, especially me and Tom. We
have different ideas of how to approach things, how to have Rage reach its
political potential. These things always cause problems. We went through a
period of ego explosions, but weąve found our way through them. Weąve ended
up making a much better record. I think weąve fused elements of punk and
hip-hop in a much more tasteful way-in a way that I donątthink has been done
before. Iąm really pretty proud of what eventually came out.˛
Would you like to explain why the album is called ŚEvil Empireą?
łItąs a title I though was a bit thetorical. Hahaha. Toward the end of the
Cold War, the Reagan administration constantly tried to breed this fear in
the American public by referring to the Soviet Union as the Evil Empire.
Weąve kind of come to understand that youcan pretty much flip that on its
head to see that the US has been responsible for many of the atrocities in
the late 21st century.˛
In łTire Me˛ you sing łI wanna be Jackie Onassis/I want to wear a pair of
dark sunglasses.˛ Why?
łOh come on, canąt you hear the sarcasm in that? And you know I wonąt
discuss my lyrics. Hahaha. And timeąs running out. I got things to do. I
gotta go.˛
Okay. One last question. If the Sex Pistols helped change your life, what do
you think of them reforming?
łOh man, I donąt know. I think that itąs pathetic, actually. I think these
boys have cashed in enough. The music was great when they were younger; now
itąs kind of passed and these guys are just old gits.˛ Vox (UK) June 1996
