Renegades

About Renegades

Renegades is the fourth studio album by American rock band Rage Against the Machine (RATM), released on December 5, 2000 by Epic Records, almost two months after their first breakup. The album consists of covers of songs by artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Minor Threat, Eric B. & Rakim, EPMD, MC5, The Rolling Stones, Cypress Hill, and Devo. After the release of Renegades, three of the four band members (minus vocalist Zack de la Rocha) formed a new band, Audioslave with former Soundgarden vocalist/guitarist Chris Cornell. RATM did, however, release the live album Live at the Grand Olympic Auditorium, consisting of their final two concerts before their initial break-up. The album achieved platinum status a little over a month after its initial release. more »
