Rage Against the Machine Reviews


The battle of Paris february-03-2000

English version:
The show was sold out: 7 thousands people. The first part is Asian dub fundation. They played 45 minutes without encore. The sound was not very good, and people are not very enjoy. I think it would very difficult for this band because it is very different with rage. The only good moment it was a recorded speech about Mumia. After we waited 45 minutes to see rage on stage. The crowd was very crazy when we heard �good evening we are rage ....� they started with testify, then guerrilla radio. Every song were very loud and the singing was very intense, paeck. Calm like a bomb is very good live. Maybe the most calm song is the ghost of tom joad. They finish with war within a breath: another great live song. During the encore, they played Bulls on parade just at the end of this song , Tim break a string. He finished with his second bass guitar. But he wanted to have back his first one. To wait, tom improvised with something with his guitar with Zack spoke on Mumia and peltier. Then they finished with freedom and killin in the name of. The show was so great. I think that is the best band I saw on stage.

French version:
Comme aux states la premi�re partie �tait Asian dub fundation. Moi je n�ai vraiment pas aim�. Cela a �t� dure pour eux je pense. Ils ont jou� 45 minutes sans rappel. Il n�y a pas eu vraiment de communication avec la foule. A aucun moment, en fait le feeling est pass�. Le seul moment sympa a �t� un speech sur Mumia enregistr�. Apr�s l�attente a �t� longue 45 minutes avant de voir les rages entrer sur sc�ne. Mais cela valait le coup, la foule �tait en d�lire d�s �good evening , we are rage ......�. Ils ont commenc� par Testify, puis guerilla radio. Toutes les chansons �taient vraiment intense. Le chant de Zack incroyable intensit�, il n�a jamais lev� le pied. LA chanson la plus calme a peut �tre �t� the ghost of tom joad bien que le refrain a la p�che. �Calm like a bomb� est terrible en live. Le show s�est termin� sur �war within a breath� exceptionnel sur sc�ne. Le rappel s�est fait attendre, il a commenc� par �bulls on parade�, avant la fin Tim a cass� une corde. Il a pris sa deuxi�me basse pour finir le morceau, mais � la fin il la r�clam� sa premi�re basse. Il a a dit deux mots au reste du groupe ce qui nous a permis d�avoir uen improvisation de Tom avec un speech de Zack sur Mumia et Peltier. Ils ont enchain� ensuite sur �freedom� et �killin in the name of�. Le seul regret sera d�avoir assist� � un set un peu cours 1h20 (avec l�impro). Mais c�est le meilleur groupe que j�ai vu jusqu�� maintenant sur sc�ne.
