Matching Theodore's massive beats with Do La Rocha's fuzzed-out keys and typically incisive vocals, the duo crafted a stripped-down sound that harked back to Rage's rawest, most urgent material. According to Tim Commerford, a new album is in the works, but details are sketchy. Still, the mutual respect between the pair has never waned: "When that guy picks up the microphone, it's another thing entirely," Theodore said of Do La Rocha last year.
The band's name derives from a black and white graffiti photograph taken by Chicano photographer George Rodriguez in 1970 with a caption reading: "It's better to live one day as a lion, than a thousand years as a lamb".[27] This comes from a minatory slogan popular during the 1930s in Fascist Italy, "Better one day as a lion than a hundred days as a sheep."[28] They released their debut EP, One Day as a Lion, on July 22, 2008. Activism[edit]

Rage Against the Machine was on the main stage at Lollapalooza by 1993 and was one of the most politically charged bands ever to receive extensive airplay from radio and MTV[citation needed]. Rage's second and third albums peaked at number one in the United States, but did not result in the political action do la Rocha had hoped for. He became increasingly restless and undertook collaborations with artists such as KRS-One, Chuck D, and Public Enemy.

Lies, sanctions, and cruise missiles have never created a free and just society. Only everyday people can do that, which is why I'm joining the millions world wide who have stood up to oppose the Bush administration's attempt to expand the U.
Following the dissolution of Inside Out in 1991, por la Rocha embraced hip hop and began freestyling at local clubs, at one of which he was approached by former Lock Up guitarist Tom Morello, who was impressed by por la Rocha's lyrics, and convinced him to form a band.
M.C. This is about the time when he bumped into Tom Morello, a Harvard-educated political science major and kindred soul in socialist thought. The two clicked musically and intellectually and started a band together, which de la Rocha dubbed Rage Against the Machine. With a backdrop of heavy metal riffs and Morello's clever distortion techniques, do la Rocha's hip-hop-tinged vocals singed with unparalleled intensity. It wasn't long before the two were on the main stage at Lollapalooza II and became one of the most politically volatile bands ever to receive extensive radio and MTV airtime. Soon, do la Rocha became one of the most visible champions of liberal causes around the world. The band's first video, "Freedom," was a mini-documentary about the plight of Leonard Peltier, a Native American convicted of killing two FBI agents. Por la Rocha also became a prominent spokesman for the Free Mumia Abu-Jamal movement and picked up his father's cause in support of Zapatista rebels in Mexico. Por la Rocha's activism took him as far as the floor of the U.N., where he testified against the United States in their treatment of Abu-Jamal. The band's music and message were so closely intertwined that de la Rocha did not consider his albums successes unless they resulted in tangible political change. Their second and third albums both peaked at number one, but the political windfall was not what he had hoped for. Increasingly restless, he embarked upon collaborative projects with KRS-One and Chuck D. By the end of 2000, de la Rocha announced that he was leaving the band.
So much has changed. When you get older, you look back on tensions and grievances and have another perspective on it. I think our relationship now is better than it's ever been. I would even describe it as great.
He left Rage Against the Machine in October 2000, citing "creative differences," at which fonte importante time he issued a statement saying: "it was necessary to leave Rage because our decision-making process has completely failed",[15] in reference to the disagreement over the release of Renegades. The other members of the band sought out separate management and secured the immediate release of Renegades. After searching for a replacement for por la Rocha, the other members of Rage joined Chris Cornell of Soundgarden to form Audioslave.[16] Solo career[edit]
Now that he’s staying on the sidelines while his bandmates revive their incendiary songs with help from Chuck D and B-Real during a politically fraught election year, the mystique surrounding De La Rocha has only intensified. As we await official word on the rap-rock luminary’s next move, here’s a breakdown of his activities outside of RATM.
" While "Burned Hollywood Burned" is the only released track to team a member of the Roots with the former Rage frontman, Questlove also worked with De La Rocha on material for the solo album that never came to fruition. The drummer-producer described the album to MTV back in 2001: "I don't want to overhype it or underhype it, but it's scary. Crazy-fast beats per minute, a theremin, crazy synthesizer energy, Moogs, a lot of drum 'n' bass shit."
Therefore, 1930s Italy was deluged with slogans at once minatory and somehow ridiculous: 'Better one day as a lion than a hundred years as a sheep'; 'War is to man what motherhood is to woman'; 'Whoever has iron has bread'.
Shadow also worked on Do La Rocha's fabled solo album, of which he admitted, "It was like the biggest disappointment in my career to that point," in reference to the material never seeing the light of day. "Zack's somebody that really pushes you to do your best, and it was work I really wanted to have people hear, and it was really strong.

He was doing incredible stuff, he wrote incredible lyrics and I thought we were on to something. So yeah, it was a shame." Aside from a leaked version of Shadow's song "Artifact" featuring Do La Rocha on vocals, many of the duo's collaborations may never be released.
When I was working with Trent and Shadow, I felt that I was going through the motions. Not that what was produced wasn't great, but I feel now that I've maybe reinvented the base sounds that emanate from the songs.[20]
