Prophets Of Rage have performed on the latest episode’s of US chat show Jimmy Kimmel Live.
The politically-charged supergroup featuring Rage Against The Machine men Tim Commerford, Brad Wilk and Tom Morello alongside Chuck D of Public Enemy and B-Real of Cypress Hill, played RATM’s classic track Killing In The Name on the show’s outdoor stage. The video can be viewed below.
Chuck D recently praised Rage Against The Machine frontman Zack De La Rocha, admitting that he and co-vocalist B-Real have big shoes to fill when performing his songs.
He said: “The thing with getting the approval from Zack was like, ‘Yeah, man, this is what it is. This is not Rage, but we’re keeping your seat warm,’ and he was like, ‘I’ll consider that.’
“A large part of the lyrics are by Zack de la Rocha. We sit back and say, ‘Hey, look, this is not Rage Against the Machine. This is Prophets of Rage. This is three solid situations coming together.’
“And don’t sleep on Cypress Hill or Public Enemy songs. They’re Rage-ified and create a frenzy that really befuddles the average person on the behaviour politics of the United States of America. Not the politics of behaviour, but the behaviour of politics.”
Prophets Of Rage commence their first North American tour in August.
