Hope they can still release an album like their debut or "Evil Empire". "Battle of LA" and the cover record were decent but those first two albums are STILL relevant (in many ways moreso) today.

Now Playing: Vast - "Flames"

I love Rage! I think them playing outside the republican (or democratic I cant remember which it was) for 8 hours despite the police and pressure to leave was amazeing! They gave a great show and the crowd was putting everything they had into it.
