The Prophets of Rage came marching into Cleveland, OH earlier today, as promised, to play and march at the End Poverty Now: March for Economic Justice in protest of the Republican National Convention, and in particular, Donald Trump. “Thank you for coming out today with your joy and your militancy,” guitarist Tom Morello told the crowd. “We’re gonna play one more jam, then we’re gonna go over there [to the RNC] and you’re gonna go over there and we’re gonna let those motherfuckers at the RNC know that we’ve had enough of their bullshit.”

The group played a shortened set at East 47th and Superior, which included Rage Against the Machine tracks “Guerilla Radio”, “Sleep Now In The Fire”, “Bulls on Parade”, and set closer “Killing In The Name”, the latter of which Morello said that the song had been played during the Bush administration to torture prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. The guitarist exclaimed they would return the favor “as torture to all those sons of bitches at the RNC….This is our revenge”. Check out the full set below, courtesy of Nick DominicOH:
