Rage Against the Machine is a rapcore band that formed in the 1990s. It combines metal instrumentation and rap vocals.
Muse's members along with Thomas Kirk[1] heard Rage Against the Machine live at the Carling Weekend, Reading in 1996.[2] This lead to their aspiration to one day headline the festival.[2][3] Matthew Bellamy admires Rage Against the Machine's members for their "purity" and belief in what they do.[4]
The band's hearing of Rage Against the Machine's albums lead them in part to contact and recruit Rich Costey.[5] Costey claimed that this was because Muse wanted a "big and assertive" sound on their recordings.[5]
During the first half of 2000, Bellamy attended "about eight" of their concerts. After Rage Against the Machine's reunion that followed a hiatus, Muse performed on the same stage at Vegoose in October 2007. Muse had previously planned to have finished touring by that time,[6] but after Matthew Bellamy heard that Rage Against the Machine were performing at that time, he decided to take advantage of the fact by extending Muse's tour.[6] According to one Muselive member who attended this concert, the band's guitarist Tom Morello watched Muse's performance from the side of the stage and said he thought it was "good".[7]
Several Muse songs bear similarities with Rage Against the Machine songs. For example, the bass part of Nishe sounds similar to the rhythm part of Bullet in the Head, the Fury riff is similar to the bass part of Without a Face and the Hyper Music riff sounds like Snakecharmer and Testify. Matthew Bellamy frequently plays Rage Against the Machine riffs at concerts, such as Township Rebellion and Rage Against the Machine's rendition of Maggie's Farm.
Bellamy's favourite Rage Against the Machine album is The Battle of Los Angeles.[1] Rage Against the Machine's self-titled album is one of Christopher Wolstenholme's five favourite albums, or was in December 2006.[8]
