BROTHER & BONES chose RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE’s Wake Up as one of their favorite songs.
This song opened my eyes to a whole new level of performance and power delivered from a band! Up until I heard Rage, my influences where all blues players and bands from the 60/70’s, and nothing as heavy. I remember the very opening had this Led Zeppelin style intro similar to ‘Kashmir’, then it dropped into something so much bigger and so new! I couldn’t believe that 3 players where making that much noise! From then on I started playing around more with effects and playing my guitar harder to get that ‘attitude’ in my sound.
Seeing them live was another eye opener and something that all of us have witnessed. It’s what live bands are about! Rage against the machine are one of the bands that gets us pumped before a show, you can’t help but move to it.
