djdiggla Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Wow. Just wow. http://pitchfork.com/news/65579-rage-against-the-machine-public-enemy-cypress-hill-members-forming-supergroup-report/ It was recently revealed that Rage Against the Machine had launched a new website, prophetsofrage.com, with a countdown clock leading to June 1. Public Enemy's Chuck D seemed to hint at his involvement via Twitter. ("Prophets of Rage" is the name of a Public Enemy song.) Then, reports surfaced that it wasn't counting down to a Rage Against the Machine reunion announcement, but would involve live performances. Now, sources have told Billboard exactly who the Prophets of Rage are: a supergroup featuring three-quarters of Rage Against the Machine—Tom Morello, Tim Commerford, and Brad Wilk—plus Chuck D and Cypress Hill's B-Real. Zack de la Rocha is reportedly not involved. They're reportedly set to debut at the Hollywood Palladium on June 3 and will perform songs by all three groups. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Super groups don't have the best track record and neither do rock/rap crossovers... We'll see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest petesasqwax Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Hehe - I read that and had the same "rock/rap supergroup? What could possibly go wrong?" thoughts. *Judgement Night soundtrack obligatory mentiom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeljms Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 What's it going to be called? Public Cypress Machine? Enemy Hill Rage? Oh, Prophets of Rage- yeah, that's better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdiggla Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 It's still technically a rumor... the announcement will be June 1 it looks like and it appears the group will be called Prophets of Rage. Yeah, crossover stuff can be tough but Rage has done some rap covers and IMO the weak part of those tracks was De La Rocha, not the band.

Flexinoodle Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I can't comment, i'm in a rock/rap band hahaha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danswift Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 So 1999 and boring and cliched as fuck That guitar riff is so predictable i actually laughed out loud ,how come Tom Morello sounds absolutley irrelevant nowadays ? He fucking owned it once upon a time... I actually liked all of the members music with their original groups,all 3 of those bands were terrific But this sounds just like the shit my son used to listen to when he was 7 years old until i gave him some Husker Du cd's instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdiggla Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 I kinda like it. Not really what I'm into anymore but not bad. Better than when Rage did all those covers. So 1999 and boring and cliched as fuckThat guitar riff is so predictable i actually laughed out loud ,how come Tom Morello sounds absolutley irrelevant nowadays ?It sounds just like the shit my son used to listen to when he was 7 years old until i gave him some Husker Du cd's instead It is very dated sounding. Shame this didn't happen much much earlier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danswift Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Yeah those Rage covers were really bad i must admit.. but to me this new stuff just sounds like it was done twenty years ago and like a million other bands from that era Maybe i was expecting a little too much to be fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
