INDIO, Calif- Thousands of sunburnt fans roared in unison and pumped their fists in the desert air Sunday night as reunited political rockers Rage Against the Machine took the stage at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

Grinning, lead singer-rapper Zack de la Rocha pumped his fist along with them.

He also railed against the war in Iraq and likened Bush administration officials to Nazi war criminals.

"This current administration is no exception. They should be tried and hung and shot," he said.

Drummer Brad Wilk, bassist Tim Commerford and guitarist Tom Morello, who wore a hat with the word "UNITY" on it, completed the lineup.

"They changed my life. They made me a liberal," said sweat-drenched history teacher Rafael Ramon, 25, who had waited in a crowd packed shoulder-to-shoulder in front of the stage all day.

"All of America needed Rage to come back. They've been missing," he said.

1. THANK YOU

thank you for that, that was awesome. I really really wish they would stay on the whole Coachella festivale and come up to seattle. The last time I saw them was 1995! We need them now more than ever.

2. There are lots of other clips from the show at youtube. Sadly, most are *almost* unwatchable.

I agree, by the way. RATM - now more than ever!

3. More shows

I see on their website that as of yesterday they are adding another New York date because the first one sold out in minutes..i hope that inspires them to do more than just 2 cities, I know several fans all over the country that freaking out that they are back and would like to see them. I first saw them in 94/95 when they "opened" up for Cypress Hill...however after the show everyone wanted to know who the hell Rage was and how to see them again. They stole the show.

4. Makes me think: "She is Chol, Tzotzil, Tojolobal, Tzeltal...

The tools are her tools, ejidos and ovaries
She once suffocated, now through a barrel she breathes
She is the wind below...
...
NBC is gonna flex and cast their image in you
Disney bought the fantasies and piles of eyes
And ABC's new thrill rides of trials and lies
And while the gut eaters strain to pull the mud from their mouths
They force our ears to grow deaf to the screams in the South."
