[quote name='punqsux'][quote name='The Shiznit'][quote name='punqsux']you can only take rage so seriously, i mean, an activist band on a major label? its just hard to believe them 100% when bands like choking victim were doing way better stuff then them.
tom is a great guitarist tho.[/quote]
What better way to get the word out and be able to fund some of their causes. But, I here what your saying.
They put on on a pretty intense show though.[/quote]
yeah but rage wrote their songs very vaugley.
choking victim wrote thei beleifs straight up.
they had a song called shaq-fu america, about how america always blames every other country for things that happen to us (the wtc bombing in the mid 90's specifically)
as "political" as rage might seem, they were watered down, either by nature or by their label.[/quote]
Maybe Rage was just a little more sensible...Being blunt with your lyrics doesn't and shouldn't make your message any more powerful.
But you're right...The label probably watered Rage's lyrics down.
