Will update the thread the following day....(if I make it out alive) ....
If anyone wants to fly in... I would be more then happy to pick you up at the airport.....
Airport is less then 10mins away from me...so no worries....
send me a pm..

still need to secure some tickets.... it's going to be difficult because Rage rarely performs and they have a huge following!

when will a band or artist play for the state of AZ support, as the news and papers are reporting the popular vote is for AZ. so how about someone like PJ or Willie Nelson...or David Allen Coe.
btw think I'll have a personal boycott against Rage Against the Machine.

It was a great time! It was during the 2000 DNC in LA. It was a free concert at the Staples Center. The show and energy was amazing and then cops went ape shit. Incidentally, I got arrested a few days later at a (peaceful) protest against police brutality and spent a week in LA County lock up. All in all it was a great show. ...To be 21 again...

I'm sure you'll get Sean Hannity's Freedom concert in San Diego sometime soon -- That's about the same as PJ and Rage doing a gig together.
Then you can create a thread and update everyone ... I'll subscribe..

not sure about that at all man but why wouldn't they ?
excuse me for not being dialed in on the bands political views I just love the music, and I was joking about a personal boycott against Rage.

I have never had the chance to see those guys in concert, during the republican convention in st paul they played at the traget center in minneapolis and I lived about 3 blocks from there. It was rather annoying!!! God damn people marching everywhere after they were done...It was nuts.

I sure would love to see the show, one of my favorite bands growing up. Make sure you stay safe afterward, cops and city officials are usually on edge when this band comes to town...good luck

Thanks man.... Why don't you come out? I'll buy you a ticket! Really! We'll that's if I can even get one myself.. but if I'm in your in! .. You really need to see this band live.... and at a venue like the Palladium I guarantee you wont be disappointed- That place is like the size of an average movie theater....

Come out for the day.....

peace

i am glad to see someone in music is getting involved...and who better than RATM??

i wonder how much security is going to be beefed up for this? i am gonna go out on a limb here and predict something bad is going to happen. i saw zach threaten to hit a security guard in the head with his mic stand for roughing up fans in 1992..good times...he was deadly serious about it by the way..

thanks for the offer...unfortunately I have to pass. My gal is in the hospital at the moment in pre-term labor. Kind of scary but seems like they have it under control. that being said I will be a father here shortly. So a ticket to LA seems like a bad expense. Now if you wanted to cover the plane ticket as well I may have to change my mind

again, stay safe, with a lot of riled u people it can go from bad to worse without much hesitation. I was in the university area of minneapolis when our hockey team won the college national championship and people were all out celebrating and thn shit just went crazy. Sddenly a car was tipped over and hooligans were breaking everything in site!

I think Zach acts and talks a little too much smack, at least for a little guy.

I used to listen to Rage a lot. We named our hockey team Rage. I seen them in concert and yeah it used to be a energy fueled show. Their message gets lost somewhere on me now. I mean I heard zach talk trash about the last 3 presidents. To this day I am unsure of why all the hate he talks and no solutions. I can hear it now he is going to call the Governor a bitch or something to that effect and talk trash about Obama and say we need to rise up an overthrow the government... Then what anarchy, please after the show the band will go back to their penthouse hotel room and back to their million dollar homes. I think it is all an act for them and it works and they profit.

Glad to hear everything is on the positive and congrats!
Sorry man, I wouldn't be able to cover the flight.... I'm getting married in a few weeks so my allowance couldn't cover that.. :? ..I could probably cover a drink or two, plus the ticket... ... but that's it!

Yeah man some people are to much sometimes.... I am totally against riots (well there might be some exceptions to that rule) ..but especially when it involves the Lakers! :oops: .....
I know the anarchy guys are probably going to be in full affect.......but the Peace Officers should be 100% ready for this! I'll be sure to stay clear of shoe stores and taxi cabs....

hope i can get into the show... :?

No I think Rage is full of shit. I think they found a gimick and it worked. All they do is say is saber rattling. Stiring people up and that is it.
