<P> Despite Morello, Wilk and Commerford's involvement in Prophets of Rage, Commerford confirmed in an interview with Rolling Stone that Rage Against the Machine has not split up, explaining, "We just do things our own way . Throughout our career, we never did what anyone wanted us to do . We never made the records people wanted us to make . We never played by the rules people wanted us to play by . And here we are, 25 years later, still a band . Clearly that means something . And if we did ever play or make new music or anything, it would be a very big deal . And there's a lot of bands that I've seen come along during that 25 - year period that did everything the record companies and the powers - that - be wanted them to do, and they sold millions of records . But where are they now? They're gone ." Morello added, "Right now...the cold embers of Rage Against the Machine are now the burning fire of Prophets of Rage . Where Rage Against the Machine lives, is this summer in these songs that we are playing . And we have nothing but the greatest love and honor and respect for Zack de la Rocha, the brilliant lyricist of Rage Against the Machine, who is working on his own music, which I'm sure will be fantastic--he's a great artist in his own right . But where you're going to hear Rage Against the Machine is in Prophets of Rage ." </P> <P> In May 2018, Wilk stated that "nothing would make him happier" if the band were to reunite, but stated "It's just really a matter of getting us all on the same page". </P> <P> Inspired from early heavy metal instrumentation, hip hop acts such as Afrika Bambaataa, Public Enemy, and the Beastie Boys, punk rock such as the Sex Pistols and Fugazi, and Dutch crossover band Urban Dance Squad., Rage Against the Machine has been noted for its "fiercely polemical music, which brewed sloganeering leftist rants against corporate America, cultural imperialism, and government oppression into a Molotov cocktail of punk rock, hip - hop, and thrash ." Zack de la Rocha's lyrics and choruses are defined by a heavy use of sloganeering and repetition on songs like "Bulls on Parade", "Guerrilla Radio", "Testify", and "Down Rodeo". Guitarist Tom Morello, on the other hand, was considered the guitar player but also the DJ in Rage . </P> <P> Rage Against the Machine has been described as rap metal, rap rock, funk metal, alternative metal, and nu metal . Although the band has been described as nu metal, Rage Against the Machine is often instead considered a predecessor to nu metal that influenced nu metal . </P>
