Foo Fighters mainman Dave Grohl joined Prophets Of Rage for a cover version of MC5’s Kick Out The Jams in Toronto, Canada, last night.
Rage Against The Machine offshoot Prophets Of Rage includes RATM’s Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk, plus Chuck D and DJ Lord of Public Enemy and B-Real of Cypress Hill.
At their show at Toronto’s Molson Canadian Amphitheatre on Wednesday, the supergroup were joined by Foos and former Nirvana man Grohl for a performance of the MC5 hit. Footage can be viewed below.
RATM covered the track on their 2000 fourth album Renegades.
Prophets Of Rage release their debut EP The Party’s Over on August 26 (Friday). The band say their stated aim is to “make America rage again.”
They add: “We can no longer stand on the sidelines of history. Dangerous times demand dangerous songs. It’s time to take the power back.”
Chuck D previously admitted it was daunting to perform RATM songs without Zack de la Rocha’s vocals.
“A large part of the lyrics are by Zack,” he said. “We sit back and say, ‘This is not Rage Against The Machine. This is Prophets Of Rage. This is three solid situations coming together.’”
