“That’s just because your tastes are narrow. She’s going to be fine. I don’t know. We’ll see. I give people more credit…She’s great. She can rock a huge room too. I think she’s going to be great.” [pullquote quote="We've got a very special relationship with this city."]

“This is our show. It’s like ages ago when we used to play at a place called the Coconut Teaser–you pick the bands. You know, you’re the headliner and pick the bands on the bill. Muse is playing who have been friends of ours for some times–they’re an awesome band and know how to rock a stadium.”

“Rise Against which is a great Chicago band who I understand is very popular on your station.”[pullquote quote="It's an idea that way back in the day when we thought about doing it with the Beastie Boys and it didn't work out, it's sort of been on the books sense then."]

“[Immortal Technique]…is actually awesome. You’ve got to check out Immortal Technique ‘Bin Laden’ on the internet. It’s just a great track…It’s great, man.

“I’ll just say this: Bin Laden didn’t blow up the projects. That’s one thing that’s important to remember.”

“And he’s [Immortal Technique] is local too. He’s from Inglewood. He’s Peruvian too and from Inglewood and he’s a good dude.”

“El Gran Silencio…is some rockin’ Espanol which we thought was important to represent in our city here and we’re psyched about it. We got to pick these bands. We picked bands that we wanted and loved.”

“It’s an idea that way back in the day when we thought about doing it with the [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Beastie Boys[/lastfm] and it didn’t work out, it’s been on the books since then.”

So, why the motivation behind the Coliseum? Kevin & Bean quip that they’ve only been pepper sprayed at two Rage Against The Machine shows, while the band joked back that the enclosed environment of the Coliseum “holds the pepper spray in.”

You need practice reading THROUGH articles anyways. Reading helps with spelling and punctuation.

Part of me wonders if this “last show” thing is just a way to sell tickets? We all know they won’t sell out the massive stadium, but a quick look and it appears you can still get some pretty solid seats.

Oh and I would like to point out that Hollywood is part of LA (remember when Rage played the Palladium last yesr?) but Inglewood (where you claim the Coliseum is) is it’s own city. You may want to fix that. Unlike Lostoul86, I won’t call you jerks, as I understand that this county is a tad confusing as to what is a city in LA and what is not a city in LA.

They mention the Palladium show in 2009, which was a protest of the AZ immigration law and not a proper Rage show.

The Coliseum is smack dab in downtown L.A. Inglewood? What are you talking about?

Why Are they not showing at the 3rd world country or a corrupt country like phillpines vietnam etc..!and why r they concerting at the rich country!!

Ms. Lauryn Hill was put on the bill because RAGE needed a female artist to be politically correct. I wish they would have invited the Flobots instead.

How are they leaving out the DNC in Downtown LA August 2000?

The band doesn’t really consider that show a proper “concert.” Rather, that was a show that was put together at the last minute with little prep.
