Report: Rage Against the Machine plays thundering set that got audience into riot and violence…

Sources are saying that the iconic metal rap rockers Rage Against the Machine played their most tightest and thundering rock set in the history of the band’s career. When you get the audience going into a riot and going fuckin’ wild, you’ll know it’s true!

Tom Morello, Zach De La Rocha and the boys took the stage last night at Lollapalooza 2008 the longtime music festival being runned and owned by rock musician Perry Ferrell. Their set starts off which sounds like a fire alarm going off, the alarm sound goes on for like a few minutes while a red star appears on the screen giving the audience a clue of who the next band is. When Zach finally walked on stage, the audience started screaming. Then they were off immediately not wasting any time and blasted into thunder rap/rock.

During the band’s set, the crowd got too aggressive and violent that the band had to slow down their set and stop a few times to wait for the audience to calm down. There were no serious injuries or deaths but the medical staff at Lollapalooza treated fans that suffered small bruises and dehydration. Only two fans during the Rage set were thrown out of the concert by security due to violent behavior.

RATM played most of their classic hits such as “Bulls on Parade”, “Testify”, “Bullet to the Head” and plenty more. Rage has not played any new material live yet as I don’t think the band is writing new material just yet.
