Just my opinion, but I cant really agree on most of what's been said...
I can't help but think that they are attempting to sell politics... do they really think that meaningful political change will come by empowering 14-year-olds who couldn't have the slightest idea about politics to overthrow the government? Let's be realistic, that would TOTALLY $%&# up the world. The political message really seems like more of a selling point to appeal to teen angst. Which I disagree with.
I also can't really see what's so great about Morello's riffs either... they seem a little derivative and pretty rarely ever break away from a pentatonic scale. And I would argue that his solos, infact, ARE wanky (see Know Your Enemy)
But yes, their lyrics are truly amazing. Brilliantly thought out with a superb and poignant political message. Here is a superb example:
$%&# you, I won't do what you tell me
$%&# you, I won't do what you tell me
$%&# you, I won't do what you tell me
$%&# you, I won't do what you tell me
$%&# you, I won't do what you tell me
$%&# you, I won't do what you tell me
$%&# you, I won't do what you tell me
$%&# you, I won't do what you tell me
$%&# you, I won't do what you tell me!
$%&# you, I won't do what you tell me!
$%&# you, I won't do what you tell me!
$%&# you, I won't do what you tell me!
$%&# you, I won't do what you tell me!
$%&# you, I won't do what you tell me!
$%&# you, I won't do what you tell me!
$%&# you, I won't do what you tell me!
Mother$%&#er!
Uggh!
:lol: I'm sorry, now i'm taking the piss, but each to his own I spose.
