RENEGADES is a cover album by American band Rage Against the Machine. Originally born in the lighthearted spirit of cover albums such as Metallica's GARAGE DAYS INC. series, RENEGADES is an assembly of interpretations of protest songs that spans many musical styles. The album includes covers of artists such as Afrika Bambaataa, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Minor Threat, Eric B. & Rakim, EPMD, MC5, The Rolling Stones, Cypress Hill, and Devo. It was released in 2000, after Rage singer Zack de la Rocha had already left the band, but featured his vocals. From the funk treatment of the obscure "Pistol Grip Pump" (originally recorded by Volume 10), to the slowed-down, stomping groove of the MC5's "Kick Out the Jams," there is seemingly no song the band can't transform and make their own. Identifying closely with Rage Against The Machine's political ideals are Afrika Bambaataa's "Renegades of Funk," and the previously single-only cover of Bruce Springsteen's "The Ghost of Tom Joad." In what fans might optimistically interpret as a hint of what is to follow, two live tracks round out RENEGADES' 60-plus minute assault. The album achieved platinum status a little over a month after its initial release.
After the release of RENEGADES, the remaining three members of the band reformed with Chris Cornell on vocals as Audioslave. Rage did, however, release another album, LIVE AT THE GRAND OLYMPIC AUDITORIUM, a live recording of their final two concerts in Los Angeles on September 12 and 13, 2000.
"Renegades Of Funk" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance.
