Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello: Not All Band Members Ready to Make a New Album
With the 20th anniversary edition of legendary rap-rockers Rage Against the Machine’s self-titled debut on target to arrive Nov. 27, rumors have been swirling that the band might be planning a new album. Guitarist Tom Morello dashed any of those hopes in an interview with Billboard earlier this month, and now, he’s chiming in on why the band might not regroup for a new set.
Speaking with NME, Morello stated that some members of Rage simply are “not ready†to start working on a new studio release.
“When bands make albums, it’s because everybody wants to, and that’s not the case with Rage Against the Machine at the moment,†he explained. “Everyone in the band gets along very well, we consider each other friends and comrades in arms, but people sometimes don’t feel ready to do it. I don’t have one minute of one day that’s not filled with music, or politics, or family. If at some point Rage were to get it together to work more, I would be open to that, but that’s not on the table right now.â€
