Seriously though, how great were Rage Against The Machine? We last saw them live in 2008 at the Big Day Out (RIP) and it was definitely a nice time and plenty of Morello-inspired air guitar took place.

It’s been about five years since Rage Against The Machine played a live show together, and 16 years since they released a studio album – but that all might be about to change. The official RATM Twitter account has caused an online conundrum by sending out some information yesterday – a logo accomapnied by the URL prophetsofrage.com and a hashtag referencing the band’s 1992 classic ‘Take The Power Back’, as seen below. There’s also a countdown to the now crucial date of June 1:

The URL has been interpreted as a reference to the Public Enemy track ‘Prophets of Rage’, which has been supported by the fact that the legendary Chuck D has been sending out links to live RATM performances through his Twitter account. This has caused some to speculate that a RATM and Public Enemy co-headline tour could be in the works. If this happens, the world might explode with joy. Moreover, posters have been popping up in Los Angeles, bearing the message “Clear the way for the Prophets of Rage. The Party’s Over. Summer 2016.”

Meanwhile, Rolling Stone have quoted a ‘source’ who insists that while this project will include “some of the members of Rage,” it’s definitely not a RATM reunion. “There’s a lot more to it. There are a lot of moving parts, a lot of exciting news to be revealed,” they said. The source also mentions that live shows are definitely part of the plan.

Is this a Zach De La Rocha and Chuck D spoken word tour? Will Flavor Flav be present with a giant clock? How many circle pits will be formed when ‘Guerilla Radio’ gets played live? So many questions, so little answers.

Let’s just hope that come June 1, RATM announce the real deal.
