Unhappy Rage Against The Machine fans have slammed former UKIP leader Nigel Farage.
The politician and broadcaster has recently launched a new podcast called ‘Farage Against The Machine’, enraging the team behind a fan account for the politically-charged Californian rockers.
Taking to Twitter to slam Farage, @RATM wrote: “Failed right-wing British politician Nigel Farage has called his podcast ‘Farage Against The Machine’.
“This pissweasel IS the machine - peddling the sort of inane, blame-heavy bulls--- that the guys in @RATM have been raging against since day one...”
Rage Against The Machine themselves are not fans of Farage. Back in September 2012, guitarist Tom Morello lambasted him after ‘Killing In The Name’ was played at a UKIP conference.
He wrote at the time: “Hey UKIP & Nigel Farage: Stop using "KILLING IN THE NAME" for ur racist/rightwing rallies. We are against everything u stand for. STOP. IT.”
Rage Against The Machine have been on hiatus for the past seven years. Their last show together took place at the L.A. Rising festival in July 2011.
Three-quarters of the band - Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk alongside Public Enemy’s DJ Lord and Chuck D, and B-Real of Cypress Hill - formed Prophets of Rage in 2016. The rap-rockers released their self-titled debut album last September.
