I don't know, but this funk version of Killing In The Name is quite good.

Were they ever?

 

[darrkon]

RATM are shit

 

[whiskey funeral]

Relevant in the gay night club circuit.

Relevant in the gay night club circuit.

You're dead to me again

Seriously though, shouldn't this be moved to the non-metal forum?

 

[False Joe]

"Blah blah blah racism, blah blah blah i disagree with the current political situtation. YEAH! SOMETHING SOMETHING!".
Put those lyrics with decent enough rock/whatevertheyare and you have RATM.

 

[The Ozzman]

You all are fucking gay. Listen to the first album and tell me the same thing.

 

[Einherjar86]

RATM fucking rules. I agree with almost nothing de la Rocha says, but that band fucking grooves. Don't care what anyone else says. One of the best bands of the nineties.

 

[seedofvengeance]

Of course they're still relevant. If they ever decide to put out another album, you'll see that. The sales would be off the charts.
One of my personal favorite bands.

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

They're not metal, just like Michael Jackson, therefore they have no relevance to the forum. V is going to lock this thread when he sees it.


That being said, I don't think they're relevant like they once were...

 

[unknown]

or...you know...move it to the non metal forum like I'm about to do

 

[tagradh]

RATM are fucking awful imo, one of the few bands I really can't stand.

 

[Caecius]

You all are fucking gay. Listen to the first album and tell me the same thing.

Their best IMO. I love to crank "Settle for Nothing".

AND NOW I GOTTA NAME!

 

[SouthernTrendkill]

I'm not into politics. But I think RATM is still musically relevant. Their debut is pretty much the only one I listen to... but it still kicks a hell of a lot of ass.

You all are fucking gay. Listen to the first album and tell me the same thing.

Ozzman, I love you sometimes. You like a lot of the great shit that most around here refuse to like.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Were they ever?

damn it... you said it first

 

[The Ozzman]

Ozzman, I love you sometimes. You like a lot of the great shit that most around here refuse to like.

I have broader taste than most here.

 

[Lord Kur]

rage was never relevant but good bands like them are cop shoot cop and godflesh

 

[Valdincan]

rage was never relevant but good bands like them are cop shoot cop and godflesh

You statement is somewhat contradictory.

I beat you. tihihihiihih.

RATM still suck.
