What are some bands similar in sound (or meaning) to Rage Against the Machine?

Question

I love the guitar that Morello does, so any bands that sound like that would be cool. I also like bands where the lyrics are rap, but the music is rock. Don't recommend bands like System of a Down, because I already know most of their stuff.

Answer 1

try One Day As A Lion its zack with the old drummer for the mars volta. or try Audioslave 3 out of the 4 members of rage are in it

Answer 2

Strike Anywhere  

Answer 3

Have you listened to the album Blood Sugar s*x Magik by The Red Hot Chili Peppers? I'd think you like that if you haven't already heard it.

On the subject of rap and rock, Ice T had a band called "Body Count" a few years ago. It's rapping on top of guitars that sound like 1980's Metal. But to be honest, it's not that good in my opinion.  

Answer 4

Rage is a one-of-a-kind...no one sounds like them, many have tried to copy their sound but have failed.  Tom Morello also is a true original and has a very unique style.

BUT..here are a few bands that have tried similar sounds to Rage...

Audioslave (obviously because it IS Rage w/different singer)

Limp Bizkit (they suck but do the same style)

Hed(pe) (they also suck)

Faith No More (not really that similar but are also very unique)

Revielle (sound very similar but aren't really that good)

Answer 5

In honor of Brother Wayne Kramer playing Denver today with RATM:

Check out the MC5

(see the Stooges too)

Answer 6

Rubbish, Rage are one on their own. I have followed this band for nearly 10 years.

At Reading at the weekend their sound is still Their sound, no one are close to them.

Amazing artists!

Answer 7

Sound? IDK but it seems Satch has covered that for you. Meaning? well they are often praised and glorified with regard to their Political Expressions and that they are the best that does aggressively and I beg to differ I think Max Cavalera and Sepultura are much more angry about about political issues mosty Anti-Police

Answer 8

There's a band called One Day As A Lion, it's a side project of Zach de la Rocha's. From what I've heard, meh, they're alright - but just sound like a not as good version of RATM.  

Answer 9

try listening to p.o.d., their guitars are nothing like morello (then again, no one is like morello) but its hard rock/metal music while rapping and singing the lyrics
