New Rage Against The Machine record "a possibility"

JoeDiddly by Luke Slater [Edit this content] ▾ 10 comments 15:25 June 7th, 2010

Fresh from playing a free show to some 40,000 people at London's Finsbury Park, Rage Against The Machine have said that new material and indeed another record is a possibility. Their last studio record, Renegades was released in 2000 and their most recent album of original material was 1999's The Battle Of Los Angeles.

Speaking to NME.com Zach De La Rocha said:

"I think it's a genuine possibility. We have to get our heads around what we’re going to do towards the end of the year and finish up on some other projects and we’ll take it from there."

The American quartet were playing a free 'victory' show in London to reward, if you will, those who helped get their single 'Killing In The Name' to Christmas number one in the UK, beating X-Factor winner Joe McElderry to the festive top spot. McElderry did have his number one the following week, however. So everyone was happy in the end.

Due to demand being so high, fans had to register beforehand with a photo accompanying the application. However, some of those absent-minded enough not to register still tried to get their way into the event, through the perimeter fence. Check the video from Siamak Amini below for some absolutely atrocious behaviour of the highest order. Despicable people, in truth.

This was planned, no doubt

I was watching from quite far back and we knew a fence had gone down or something like it when hundreds of people starting running past three or four songs in. I was hoping for zombies but it was apparently just idiots

"Idiots my arse. It's a free show you didn't pay shit. And your listening to a band who have played protests, protests that end in rubber bullets and fucking tear gas.This was inevitable and the ideal thing to see at a rage gig.I had a ticket and all i can say is that at least they were passionate enough to make there way in, while the rest of us on our way out got shafted by the fucking pigs and all we can do is clap or cheer loudly."

I'm not sure that really excuses trampling people in an attempt to get in.

Geez that video is a bit much. All that to watch a group of men stamping their feet and 'celebrating' the fact they beat a child to number one for a week?! Does noone else find it all rather embarrassing?! It all seems so childish and pathetic to me.

..and that comment by Sam Diplock?! What a total and utter prick. "The ideal thing to see at a Rage gig". Yeah kids getting their faces trodden on my grown men. RIGHT ON!!! Hey, maybe you can fight the agenda by going to seeing them at the Dublin O2, and enjoy the plush venue that a multi national sponsership deal by a mobile phone company has paid for, alongside some gloriously over priced drinks! Perhaps you could push over a toddler on the way in though, to show how much you fight the power!
