So basically, yesterday there was a concert going on in front of the capital building in Minnesota, there were rumors that Rage would be a guest, surprise performer. After Anti-Flag finished their last set, they introduced Rage, but before they could take the stage the police shut off of the power to the stage and wouldnt let them perform - even though they had full permits and were set to go on before the 7pm curfew.

The members of the band grabbed a megaphone and performed Bulls on Parade and Killing in the Name of acapella. Here is a video of the performance

pretty sweet if you ask me

digging into this, the crowd was getting out of hand, and the police shut it down to avoid an unmanageable situation. It sucks, but people need to stop acting the fool.

yeah, I guess I'm just excited that Rage is still doing shit like this

If police think they are going to prevent a riot by shutting down a militaristic band from reuniting on stage they are sadly, sadly mistaken.

Hahaha Rage is like the one band that you dont' wanna do that to.

9/4/2008 2:04:08 PM

Fuck you, I won't do what ya tell me...

"After Anti-Flag finished their last set, they introduced Rage, but before they could take the stage the police shut off of the power to the stage and wouldnt let them perform"

I really really really hope they tour again or at least make another album. I only got to see them once live, though it was the greatest concert ever.
