Rage Against The Machine's New Album Is Sure To Be A Fan-Favorite
Rage Against the Machine hasn't dropped a new studio album in nearly a quarter of a century, but that doesn't mean the rockers have nothing to share. The politically-charged group is about to return with a special new release — though not exactly brand new material. The beloved band has announced another project, and it's arriving just in time for – and only for – Record Store Day 2025.
The Grammy-winning act is getting ready to release Live on Tour 1993, a live double LP that captures the talent of Rage Against the Machine at the height of its fame. The album is composed of 10 "completely untouched and unmixed" live recordings from its 1993 tour, as the title suggests.
While Live on Tour 1993 is technically a new addition to the band's discography, the songs featured come from its debut full-length, Rage Against the Machine. That introductory project was released the year prior. The live versions include hits like 'Know Your Enemy' and the explosive 'Killing in the Name,' which helped catapult the group to fame and defined the sound of early '90s hard rock.
Rage Against the Machine fans who want to get their hands on Live on Tour 1993 will not be able to place an order online. In keeping with the spirit of the event, this release will only be available at participating brick-and-mortar locations starting on April 12.
Record Store Day was created to drive foot traffic to independent music stores, and artists frequently participate by releasing rare or exclusive titles. Rage Against the Machine's new live album is one of the biggest pressings tied to the 2025 event, with 15,000 copies being produced.
Live on Tour 1993 marks Rage Against the Machine's first live set since The Battle of Mexico City arrived in 2021. That title debuted on the Billboard 200 at No. 70, giving the group another chart appearance years after the musicians stopped producing new studio projects.
Despite reuniting for live performances in recent years, Rage Against the Machine hasn't released any original studio material since 2000's Renegades. That full-length, the band's fourth and final studio album, consisted entirely of cover songs. So while the group isn't technically 'back together' for Live on Tour 1993, the rock outfit does stand out as one of the biggest names participating in Record Store Day this year.

Ringo Starr's son Zak Starkey reveals alleged altercation with The Who's Roger Daltrey got him fired
Zak Starkey can explain. The Who's former drummer, 59, addressed his shocking exit from the band in a new interview with The Telegraph published on Monday, June 16, and shed some light on what allegedly led to his firing. In April, The Who announced they were parting ways with Starkey — who is Ringo Starr's son — following two shows at Royal Albert Hall in the UK, which saw the likes of Bill Murray, Sadie Frost, Tracy-Ann Oberman, and famed hypnotist Paul McKenna, in attendance. However, days later, Pete Townshend revealed that Starkey would stay in the group despite 'some communication issues.' All that changed in May when Starkey once again announced he was ousted from the Grammy-nominated rock band, marking his second firing in one month. Now, he claims he was kicked out following an alleged altercation with The Who's lead singer, Roger Daltrey. 'What happened was I got it right and Roger [Daltrey] got it wrong,' Starkey told The Telegraph, referring to the rare performance of 'The Song Is Over' at London's Royal Albert Hall. After his second firing, it was alleged that Starkey's bandmates weren't happy with his performance at the event. But, the drummer claims it wasn't his performance that was lacking. Starkey told the outlet that The Who band members 'hate rehearsing,' noting they rarely perform their 6-minute-long 1971 hit 'The Song Is Over.' According to Starkey, Daltrey 'took a bit out' for the show. 'Roger [came] in a bar early,' he told the outlet. Starkey also claimed that one week later, the band's manager, Bill Curbishley, called to fire him. 'He says, 'It's my unfortunate duty to inform you' — it's like Porridge or something — 'that you won't be needed from now on. Roger says you dropped some beats,'' he alleged. Starkey watched the performance but said, 'I can't find any dropped beats,' claiming, 'Then Pete [Townshend] had to go along with it because Pete's had 60 years of arguing with Roger.' But the drama didn't stop there. Starkey shared that he still wanted back in the band after the alleged feud; however, he was allegedly instructed that he needed to admit that he dropped 'two beats' in the performance. 'Two weeks later it was like, 'Roger says he can't work with you no more, and we'd like you to issue another statement saying you're leaving to do your other projects' and I just didn't do it because I wasn't leaving [of my own volition],' Starkey alleged, adding 'they didn't specify' why they fired him the second time. Starkey shockingly doesn't have any hard feelings, telling The Telegraph, 'I don't blame anyone. I blame The Who because they're unpredictable, aggressive and f—— insane,' stating those are reasons he 'loves' the band. He also hinted that his days of playing with The Who might not be over. 'I spoke to Roger last week and he said, 'Don't take your drums out of [The Who's] warehouse yet in case we need you,'' Starkey said. 'I said, 'Best let me know.'' Starkey didn't just expose the alleged altercation that he claimed got him fired. The drummer also alleged that he turned down the offer to tour with Oasis for The Who. The Post reached out to the band's rep for comment. Townshend was the first to address Starkey's second firing in May. 'After many years of great work on drums from Zak the time has come for a change,' he wrote on Instagram. 'A poignant time. Zak has lots of new projects in hand and I wish him the best.' Starkey immediately hit back with a different story. 'I was fired two weeks after reinstatement and asked to make a statement saying I had quit The Who to pursue my other musical endeavors,' the musician said in a lengthy social media rant. 'Not true. I love The Who and would never have quit and let down so many amazing people who stood up for me through this madness.' Starkey claimed that Daltrey told him he wasn't 'fired' from the band for a second time but rather 'retired' and free to work on his own projects. He clarified, 'The lie is or would have been that I quit The Who — i didn't. I love The Who and everyone in it.' Starkey, the son of The Beatles' Ringo Starr, joined The Who in 1996.

Gen Z tourists obsess over NYC stoop from ‘Millennial cringe' HBO show ‘Girls': ‘It's our Sex and the City'
The kids are stooping to new levels. Gen Z's latest Big Apple photo op obsession is a Brooklyn stoop made famous on a 'Millennial cringe' HBO show – drawing fans from around the world despite the series having gone off the air nearly a decade ago. Advertisement 5 Evan Lazarus and Amelia Ritthaler, both 27, of the 'Girls Rewatch Podcast,' on the famed Greenpoint stoop from HBO's 'Girls.' Paul Martinka Forget Carrie Bradshaw's infamous 'Sex and the City' townhouse, younger viewers have latched on to 'Girls' — the Golden Globe-winning comedy-drama starring Lena Dunham — injecting new life to a quiet Greenpoint block where the show was filmed starting in the early 2010s. 'Gen Z really takes to 'Girls' because it's so authentic – there are so many [relatable] stories told – where Gen Z doesn't really know what it wants to do in its career in the same way,' Evan Lazarus, 27, one of the hosts of the Girls Rewatch Podcast, told The Post. Advertisement Amelia Ritthaler, 27, and Lazarus' former roommate, said the show, which follows a group of four friends in their 20s trying to make it in the city, found a new audience during the COVID-19 pandemic, when many young people were forced to hole up at home. 'During Covid, we were supposed to be 22 [years old] in the city, and we weren't allowed to be,' said Ritthaler, who hosts the retrospective podcast with Lazarus, both Williamsburg residents. The fresh audience felt, 'Like, 'I guess we'll watch these girls do it,'' Ritthaler said. 'No one's really on any timeline [in the show], and I feel like that's really refreshing for Gen Z to watch,' she added. 'I just feel like it's our 'Sex and the City.'' Advertisement 5 The India Street apartment was the onsite filming location for Hannah Horvath's apartment on the show, which aired from 2012 to 2017. Paul Martinka The show's online resurgence has also fed into the stream of photo-frenzied tourists flocking the India Street where the facade for the apartment inhabited by Dunham's striving writer character Hannah Horvath was filmed. 'Whenever I'm in the Radio Bakery line, there's always people there too,' said visiting Bushwick resident Meghan, pointing to the India Street apartment across the street. Liz McNamara, who has lived in the building since 1960 and stayed in a garden unit during six years of the series filming inside apartment 2L, told The Post she has welcomed fans, often hailing from as far as Europe, 'all the time' for more than a decade. Advertisement 'We just have people from all different places of the world taking pictures,' said 72-year-old McNamara. 'Especially during the week, a lot of them are really tourists coming from other places … there's always picture-taking here, I've even taken a few pictures for them.' 5 Longtime India Street resident Liz McNamara shows off a 'Girls' hoodie gifted to her by one of the show's producers. Nicole Rosenthal / NYPost McNamara will sometimes even invite eager fans inside to get a glimpse of Horvath's on-screen apartment, even though the interior has been fully renovated since the series started filming in 2011. One of those visitors invited inside was 20-year-old Mia Struck, who went to the stoop in February. 'We were just in the neighborhood and happened to stumble upon it,' said Struck, who started watching the show, which went off the air in 2017, as a teen during the pandemic. 'I re-watch it all the time, so it was cool to experience [it] in person. Liz was so welcoming.' 5 Liz McNamara's colorful streetside 'menagerie' was captured in the series, she told The Post. Nicole Rosenthal / NYPost The quaint stoop is 'nothing' like its Sex and the City counterpart – which has resulted in its owner pleading with the city to install a steel and cast-iron gate to keep swarms of tourists away, said McNamara. The longtime local noted she doesn't mind the extra attention, saying her experience with fans has been pleasant over the years. Advertisement And a big part of the relationship is courtesy. 'They don't linger,' McNamara said. The resident noted she was the one to let location scouts inside the building in 2011, and was even gifted an honorary 'crew' hoodie from a producer years after the show began airing on HBO. 'I was here for the whole thing,' she recalled. 'I made a lot of friends.' Advertisement 5 Evan Lazarus and Amelia Ritthaler on the steps of the iconic brownstone apartment building. Paul Martinka While 'people love to visit sites from any TV show,' Lazarus said, the India Street stoop is especially fun for Gen Z audiences because it's hidden in plain sight – and is often empty enough to give fans a 'main character' moment. The self-obsessed characters from 'Girls' have struck a chord with social media-overwhelmed Gen Z, Lazarus said, 'because we've all been trying to grow our personal brand since we were like two.' 'The idea of being self-absorbed has been more normalized in the last decade,' said the podcaster. Advertisement Co-host Ritthaler called out Dunham-as-Horvat's infamous line 'I'm the voice of my generation.' 'I feel like she's actually the voice of Gen Z,' Ritthaler said, 'because millennials hated her [for that] … but then Gen Z is watching her and they're like, 'yeah, like 'we are.''
