|
Renegades is the fourth and last studio album by Rage Against the Machine.
It consists entirely of cover songs and includes covers of artists such as Minor Threat, 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. After the release of Renegades, the remaining three members of the band reformed with Chris Cornell on vocals as Audioslave. Rage did, however, release one final album, Live at the Grand Olympic Auditorium, a live recording of their final two concerts in Los Angeles on September 12th and September 13th, 2000.
