On Saturday’s episode of The Greg Gutfeld Show on Fox News, host Greg Gutfeld dissed Rage Against The Machine during a sarcastic monologue about the nominees for the 2018 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class.
“Four crazy talented men have been snubbed yet again. The nominations for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s class of 2018 are in, and sadly the Monkees are nowhere to be found. It’s bullshit. Seriously, they’re the real Beatles!
Instead the list features a bunch of first time nominees, including Radiohead, who are they? Judas Priest, Satanists! Nina Simone, nice lady. The Moody Blues, very depressing. Eurythmics, eh. Dire Straits, eh. Rage Against The Machine, a bunch of babies. Rage, rage, rage!
Also on the ballot, Bon Jovi, terrible haircuts. LL Cool J, I like him. The Cars, love The Cars. J. Gels Band, not bad, and Depeche Mode.”
Prophets of Rage/Rage Against The Machine/Audioslave bassist Tim Commerford discussed fans writing ‘we want Zack’ in a new Leo Weekly interview.
What kinds of things do you hear from your hate mail?
“I really feel that a lot of the hate we’ve been getting has been directed at us because people think that we’re anti-Trump. There’s a lot of people that are angry at us because they feel like we should be anti-Hillary as well. I see a lot of, just, racist hatred. It’s hatred for the point of view that we have and hatred for the ethnicity that’s in the band. Then, there’s those who just love Rage Against the Machine and they hate anything that’s not Rage Against the Machine.”
It’s easy to go check out the message board for any one of our videos.
“‘Bring Back Zack,’ ‘What about White Lives Matter,’ ‘You guys are libtards,’ shit like that. I actually get a kick out of the hatred. The hatred fuels me. So when I hear how these people say these racist, sexist, fucking horrible comments, it just fuels me to want to do it more. As far as I’m concerned, bring it! You know you’re doing something right when people hate you.”
