First RATM live performance

really cool

Cool. they were bringing it hard for all 20 people.

admittedly, nobody had ever seen or heard stuff like that when they hit the scene. I remember when they played Lollapalooza nd played K in the name of, everybody stopped and was like "whoah" what is this????

I have a cousin that used to be a dj on an alt music show. He would get promo CDs by the dozens 2/3 times a week. He got his hands on Rage Against the Machine and let me have a copy of it. We were having a get together at the apartment and I slipped that CD in. People were asking me what the hell that god awful music was and asked me to take it out. I'll never forget that night. Actually, I got Tool Undertow and Rage Against the Machine at the same time (promo copies).
