Nice.  The police not letting them play is the best thing that could happen for them. :)

...sometimes I feel like RATM is such a fluff band these days, back in their first run as a band, I truly believed in what they were saying and felt as if they could really change things....but then they broke up, they totally flaked out (Audioslave and Zach de la Rocha doing nothing) and now hearing them do all this stuff just makes me think they will flake out again when the election is over, anybody else feel that way???.... :'(

say wht you want about RATM (and I personally love their music), but look real long and hard at who signed their paychecks during their hey day. Classic catch-22: We will rail against corporate America while we make corporate America much money. Buy that shit up folks, Sony BMG Music Entertainment  just made another mil  ;)

Are they still technically signed to Sony BMG?  

In my eyes, them getting back together was the best thing they could have done because I only ever had one chance to see them live and I couldn't go but they cancelled anyways.  But since they reunited, I've seen them twice now.  After both times I've said to myself, that was awesome but I don't think I'd go see them again and I know thats a goddamn lie.  I would go see them again in a heartbeat.  But I wouldn't drive to New York City from Michigan to see them again.

...exactly...they have turned into parodies of themselves...
