Most Shocking Concert Moments: Rage Against the Machine Protest




DATE: July 18, 1993

WHAT WENT DOWN: Actions spoke louder than words when Rage Against the Machine hit the stage in Philly during Lollapalooza '93. Instead of playing music, the four band members stood on stage naked with duct tape over their mouths and the letters "PMRC" painted on their chests in a protest against censorship. For 15 minutes, the only sounds heard during the demonstration were guitar feedback and jeers from pissed-off fans who actually wanted to see the band play something.
