Rage Against the Machine showed up late and without a permit and did not get to perform, resulting in a crowd protest.

    • WOW, an anti-republican band that wonderfully swears. We need more political bands that rage against the Republican and fascist corporate machines!

    • This is bullshit. The RNC was afraid of RATM so they shut them down before they could get a start.

      Assholes... I wish all of this stuff was getting more coverage on TV, might wake up some of the masses.

      OMG if you can't see the difference you're living with blinders on.

      The government not following the rules gets me killed. Musicians not following the rules gets me...what?? What negative effect is that going to have on my life?

      Double standard.

      Don't say someone is wrong while justifying someone else. You're just as bad as the government, if not worse because you complain about their badness and still do it with your own flare.

      Sure, fine...call it a double standard. There is, however, a difference in their "rule breaking". Notice also that there were people there to keep the band in line. The ones committing the lesser offense. Who is keeping the government in line? Who is there to stop or punish them when they commit horrible offenses.

    • Being orderly and safe is not fascism. What if someone had gotten hurt there? Sue-happy parents of the fifteen year old who jumped in the pit not knowing how freakin dangerous those things are and got himself all broken up would make it so that Rage Against the Machine wouldn't play that town ever again, seriously. Not that I would mind, RATM is lyrically stimulating but musically boring...

    • I love Rage Against The Machine, but I scratch my head about how Americans will stand up for a band, but barely for their own government.

      Make bow-chicka-bow-wow, not kaboom!

      This puzzles me as well. Perhaps it is a result of the complacent culture of cool that is shares by so many these days. What good can one acheive if while attempting to inspire people, those same people choose to be complacent and never taking action by self-informing, etc.

      One of the downfalls of Rage was that their fanbase only got it up to a certain point...the bulk of their fans never became proactive, instead settling in to here the next message the band had to deliver in the form of "rawk."

    • Rumours going round that they DID have a permit, and Anti-Flag intro'd them before the police moved in.

      No source sadly, just from a UK daily music site.

    • Losers. There are procedures that are always followed with concerts. Like it or not, that is how things are. If people don't like it, seek to lawfully change it.

      No permit - no concert. It's these people's own lazy fault for sitting around with their thumb up their @$$es while laws they disagree with are put through by politicians. This country has a legal process. Change it or follow it. A bunch of people crying at a concert because they didn't get to see a band isn't going to accomplish a damn thing. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just plain stupid. But it's so much easier to do nothing but WHINE about it, which is all these people are doing. This country was established to have elected officials represent the people. If you don't like what these "officials" are doing, write them or vote them out. If you don't like that process, get the hell out of my country, because that is what America is supposed to be.
