Full marks for persistence to Rolling Stone; it kept pushing Tom Morello on when and if Rage Against The Machine would return to touring following vocalist Zach De La Rocha's Achilles tendon injury last year. But he was having none of it.
"There is no term," Morello replied when asked about how he'd describe the current status of the band and whether they would pick up the European dates they had to cancel. "Rage Against the Machine is like the ring in Lord of the Rings. It drives men mad. It drives journalists mad. It drives record industry people mad. They want it. They want the thing, and they’re driven mad. If there are Rage shows, if there are not Rage shows, you’ll hear from the band. I do not know. When there is news, it will come from a collective statement from the band. There is no news."
