VERY EARLY Rage Against the Machine vid

Print Print this page.

Everybody has to start somewhere, and some very early footage of Rage Against the Machine has surfaced online from an in-store performance the band did at Long Beach’s Zed Records back in 1992.

The very young looking Rage members (Zack de la Rocha looking like he’s 14 years old and Tom Morello rocking sideburns) share their thankfulness for having a place to play, telling the audience to be very careful with their surroundings as the owner was nice enough to let them jam. What follows is a 40-minute-plus performance filled with what would eventually become well-known Rage Against the Machine songs like ‘Bombtrack,’ ‘Bullet in the Head,’ ‘Killing in the Name Of’ and ‘Freedom.’

Grab a drink and a snack, crank it up, and take a trip back in time to 1992. BE THERE!

Whitney Houston dusted off this “old” song from Dolly Parton for the the soundtrack to The Bodyguard with Kevin Costner.

This is Chris Cornell singing Whitney Houston, singing Dolly Parton. He’s a great performer. The audience loved it, and so does Q101.

Not much of a surprise here, as he’s the model of consistency (and his passion is impossible to criticise):  Tom Morello was among the first signers of the recently launched Occupy Musicians website, a resource for musicians who support the Occupy Wall Street movement and its affiliated protests.

Lou Reed is also among the signers of the website, as well as Laurie Anderson, Talib Kweli, Saul Williams, Jello Biafra, Amanda Palmer and Ian MacKaye and Guy Picciotto of Fugazi.

“We, the undersigned musicians and all who will join us, support Occupy Wall Street and the Occupy Movement around the world,” reads an introduction statements at the Occupy Musicians site, Occupymusicians.com.
