Formed in 1991 in Los Angeles, California, Rage Against the Machine first became famous for their fiercely radical music which aimed its ideas toward corporate America and government oppression. First appearing in a living room in Orange County California, Tom Morello, Zack De La Rocha, Tim Commerford, and Brad Wilk, were and supported many other bands and events that focused on rebelling against parents, the goverment, and anyone who viewed their music as something terrible.
