I saw them at Rage Factor and they blew me away such an incendury set with the band on a high!  I for one would love them to appear.  Tom Morrello is one if not the best axe man I have seen and I've seen a few.

Are they too big for 2nd on the bill behind say Radiohead?

[The Nal]

No. Are Radiohead to moany and whining? Are Colplay to soft? Is Kylie too "gay". Are U2 too Irish?

[eFestivals]

I'd suggest that they're probably too greedy to play - reforms are nearly always about the money, and they certainly went for the money with the first shows they did in the UK after reforming.

i was expecting rage to tear the roof off the place at T. but they were as disappointing live as audioslave were. i've seen robbie williams be heavier.

Really? Find that hard to believe, I'm off to youtube........, back in a mo.

And I'd love to see them at Glasto again, its what Glasto needs. It does seem to be becoming slightly lifeless on the main stages. Not all the time but some. I don't go for the music but its always an added bonus to see an exciting band that can hype a crowd up a bit.

Apparently they charged a million a gig on the last tour. Tickets for the Dublin show were 70 euro!

Rage factor was all about money wasn't it? Or was there something about 'Shelter' or something?

[strudders]

They were brilliant in 94......


But yeah as has been said, I guess they would ask for to much.

I'm pretty sure they used all their other shows to fund the rage factor gig + money to shelter, if they took some money it would have only been a fraction of what they could have if they were so greedy

Supported further by the boycott of any TV coverage to prevent 'unnofficial' live media being available.

I'm a huge rage fan, feel that they would be a perfect other stage headliner but the shady moneygrabbing overtones of everything they have done since reforming left a bad taste, to be honest.

I saw them at Reading a couple of years ago and it was a great performance, full of energy and I loved every second.  Shame I couldn't iPlayer it when I got home :/

Some bands do that just for quality control. Although in Rages case I think it is for money.

I saw them a couple of years ago and they were spouting the "US government are a bunch of f**king nazis" etczzzzz. Saw them again last month and it wasnt near as bad, quite relevant and there was a bit of depth to it.

[Zacko]

Brilliant at Finsbury in June with a pretty manic crowd. They might possibly ask for too much money or insist on headlining but you never really know with them.

I don't think there would be many bands who fancied following them.
