Rage Against The Machine / Gang Starr / Dilated Peoples Nov 24, 1999 (24 years ago) Denver Coliseum Denver, Colorado, United States
The men of Rage Against The Machine will be kicking off "The Battle Of Los Angeles" (the on-tour edition, that is) in the California metropolis of Oakland on Friday night.
Rage is, of course, a politically outspoken band that doesn't tour just "for the nookie" or to boost record sales. As guitarist Tom Morello explained to MTV News, the band's ticket sales on this outing will also benefit local organizations.
"Much in the way that the Black Panthers, to use an ex[ample]," Morello began, "who are idols of ours in some ways in that they were tremendously political and tremendously active and confrontational, but they also had like a free breakfast program where they realized that any sort of real change starts with, you know, serving the people as well. So that's one thing that we're very conscious of, and this whole U.S. tour, a portion of the tickets is going to go to local charities and food banks."
