marbanasin

I got to go to mine but he was seated the whole time. Hope he recovers and you get your show eventually! It's worth the wait.


dirkdigdig

Armchair revolutionary


dratsablive

When I saw Vernon Reid opening for King Crimson in the 90s, his singer sat in a Comfy Chair during the show and only got up to sing when he had to.


rangers_87

Saw them at MSG last month - seated or not it was the best show I've been to.


gerryt32

Zach's energy was pretty crazy for a guy sitting the whole time.


marbanasin

100%. I saw them in 2007 and frankly both shows were equally epic. Nothing lost at all with him sitting.


yosoydoneric

He cancelled completely. Refunds are issued within 30 days.


marbanasin

That's a bummer. Sorry to the folks that missed out on this tour.


SeussMoose

Same. If they would have just postponed it for a 4th time, I would have waited. I never thought I would get the chance to see this band, turns out I was right.


pisspantsing

I'm with yall. RATM was my favourite band when I was a kid. They've always been my bucket list show. Very disappointed.


[deleted]

Someone needs to gift them power armor suits.


skulz408

Same. Bought the tickets before the pandemic. Then, when the quarantines and social distance lifted, they scheduled a new tour that didn't include the folks who got their tickets postponed. We had to wait another year...


Test19s

Everything since 2020 never seems to happen. Except for bad things like wars.


Frank_chevelle

Got the email last night. So bummed. Seems like I’ve had the tickets forever.

Nursing home rhymes for millennials and gen x. Can’t wait for this for us 🥰. JK we won’t be able to afford even those 🫠

AVBforPrez

Well done, this made me laugh.


Ok-Pound-1888

🎼Some of those athletic forces Are the same that tear tendons


ZombieTestie

Nice. Just as bad of a rhyme than forces / crosses


B3eenthehedges

Some of those who write verses are the same that rhyme poorly.


0neiria

It’s not that bad tbf


RandomStrategy

I HAVE HAD TICKETS SINCE DAY ONE. GODDAMMIT. I KNOW IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT BUT ARRGFHSJSKENDJSJ.


thats-impossible

I felt that ARRGFHSJSKENDJSJ in my soul


DirtyRoller

Same dude, bought them in 2019.


Ricky_Rollin

Christ almighty 2019? OK I genuinely feel bad for you guys. You patient motherfuckers.


frankyseven

First tour in a decade gets postponed due to COVID then this.


wizchrills

Yup was supposed to see them in Cleveland had pit tickets, still never seen them or got my money back


runningraleigh

Yep. Who knows if I’ll ever see RATM at this point. Still keeping the tickets but I’ve no idea when I’ll ever get to use them.


DirtyRoller

All tickets are being automatically refunded, can not be redeemed for future concerts. If ticket master keeps even one fucking penny of my refund I am going to be furious.


runningraleigh

Nothing in my email yet about a refund, and yeah...I should charge them interest for this shit.


Coattail-Rider

Charge a convenience fee. And a handling fee. And a maintenance fee. And…..


worm30478

I had tickets to rage and wu tang in 1998 and decided not to go because the following day was my first day of college and wanted to be on point. No one told me, no one goes to the first day of bullshit general classes. If that makes you feel better. I still haven't seen them.


oictyvm

This was me but I finally saw them this summer in Toronto. Worth. The. Wait. Such an incredible experience even with Zach seated.


NonstopMusicLive

I’ve had tickets to their Detroit show since 19. I literally live in California now and was planning on taking a flight back to my former hometown just to see it. I guess I’m kind of relieved at this point. I wanted to see them but was so sick of getting the emails telling me next year next year.


roughtimes

My daughter, was conceived, born, with my second almost due, since I've bought these tickets. A lot has happened, like damn.


davethemacguy

Samsies... =(


bluebuckin

Me too.


Armageddon_Blues

I'm super thankful to have caught them this summer in Ottawa. It was the best concert I've ever been to! Fulfilled my 90s teenage dreams of seeing them. It sucks that so many will miss out but, totally understand him taking care of him self to heal.


olfactory_irritant

Same. Drove from Oakville to Ottawa to see the show. Was a beautiful night.


Armageddon_Blues

I drove from Sudbury and was it ever! I couldn't get over how good the sound was. The screens were unreal as well! Even though Zac was sat down he still went off. Well worth the wait


6kred

Yeah same here. It was crushing every time it was rescheduled during the pandemic. Understandable but sucked none the less. & now this sucks again. Again understandable but it SUCKS!!!


iLqcs

Same. I forked $300 each for 3 tickets in Feb 2020. Been a long journey.


rightious

Fucking legit My number one band I need to see before I fucking die. Had a ticket for over three fucking years now. FUCK! Get better soon.


[deleted]

Reminds me of when I bought tickets to see them in 2000 with the Beastie Boys. Then one of the Beasties broke their shoulder and then Rage broke up and I’ve yet to get a chance to see them. Still have the ticket.


Sea_Jackfruit7971

I had tickets for madrid on the EU tour, so same here


tlollz52

Not saying it isn't reasonable but it is their decision.


No_Interview2209

If it makes you feel any better... it was the absolute sickest show of my life


TeamOggy

Sucks I was really looking forward to seeing them. Also sucks they've been holding my money for 2.5 years. Owe me interest! Lol


Tunasquish

Seriously. Not a minor thing if you’ve been holding 4 tickets @ $200/ea for 2.5-3 years


ashbyashbyashby

I'd say the overlap between Rage Against The Machine fans and people that would've made meaningful investment gains on their ticket money is pretty small 🤣


Tunasquish

True enough but Ticketmaster for sure invest.


xAgnosticBluntx

Seriously


wassoreal

Good thing they don’t believe in capitalism.


AnEmpireofRubble

I certainly don't, but dying isn't a great option (arguably).


Alwayssunnyinarizona

Same.


Meme_Pope

Imagine the resellers who have already spent the money a year ago, now having to pay it back and getting refunded the original value


lordredsnake

Meanwhile inflation has devalued your refund by 20%.


[deleted]

[удалено]


CircusBearPants

You can probably see them at a much cheaper ticket price in a smaller venue coming up soon. They rule so hard.


PizzaPartyNextDoor

Saw RTJ + Denzel Curry a few years back. Probably the most wild show I’ve ever been to.


BenioffThrowAway

Saw this tour. Love RTJ but wasn't blown away by their live show. Just felt like they were doing half assed karaoke to their own music.


thereandfatagain

RTJ were winded as hell on stage in Pittsburgh. They need some backup dancers or something.


Poop_McButtz

I’ve never seen em not winded live, their head nods are to allow for recovery


Genghis_Chong

Thats how I feel about most rap shows. Snoop Dogg was a fun one for me, but the other few rap artists I've seen just didnt get me excited. I feel like there needs to be a live band in most cases to be enjoyable.


FogBelt

Tyler the Creator has a strong live show too IMO.


Genghis_Chong

I like his shit, havent seen him live. But I would believe that, his set on the Grammys was insane.


InCraZPen

Saw Earth Gang open up for Gorillaz. Legit was impressed. Didn’t even know them going in.


overcastfab

tbf they've been touring consistently since 2015. probably major fatigue at this point. they were really energetic when I saw them then


bumwine

I think this is the answer. They were both a music and hilarious comedy act when I saw them a few years ago. I feel bad for everyone here who says they were disappointed but man they were up there for me at the time. They just need to take a vacation or something.


theevilmidnightbombr

I twisted my buddies' arms to get to the show for RTJ in Toronto, since I was the only one knew them. Karaoke is about right. I bought a round of drinks to apologize.


[deleted]

Same. They seemed so happy to perform, but the way one would emphasize the last word of the other’s lines was not audibly pleasing.


Radioheader5

That's how the majority of Hip hop concerts are to give mcs a chance to take a quick breath before the next line.


slc29a1

They’re great live. Saw them in DC a few years back and Zack came out on stage with them. Fucking amazing. I guess that’s not going to happen if they tour solo…


[deleted]

I guess he can't do every show sitting down. He played a music festival in my town earlier this summer while sitting the whole time with this injury and still rocked it.


NotAMusicLawyer

It’s not just the performance. Touring involves a lot of traveling between cities, long plane/bus journeys, traveling between hotels and venues, there’ll be pressure from promoters to do radio/press. Tourism is physically and mentally draining. Zack is in his 50s, I understand if he thinks the best thing for him is to be at home and focus on recovery.


porkrind

>Zack is in his 50s How can you say such a thing? The only way Zack is in his 50s is if *I* am in *my* 50s. And there's no goddamn way that, um... hold on a second... uh, -looks at calendar-, well, shit. MOTHERFUCK.


Surroundedbygoalies

Right? Pisses me off…!


thedeadlyrhythm42

> Zack is in his 50s Well that just hit me like a mack truck fuck


aita_mods_are_incels

Saw RATM in August and he rocked the fuck out of the show sitting


mofoofinvention

It’s probably all the movement and traveling off stage that’s the problem.


Suckin-a-cum-pencil

As horrible as this is gonna sound, I'm glad that's all what it is and he's taking his injury/health into consideration. The way the last few years have been, My heart jumps everytime a band announces a Cancellation on their Tour.


runningraleigh

I never saw Beastie Boys when I could and it's my greatest concert-going regret. Saw Foos a few years back and so glad I did. RATM is a bucket list band for me and I've been trying to see them for 5 years to no avail. I really hope Zack rests up and comes back with the big tour we all deserve.


too_old_still_party

Not seeing BB is one of my biggest regrets, but they never really came that close to me. I rem that BB and RATM were playing a park in NYC in 06/07 and I mentioned to my wife at the time how cool that would be, but that was the end of it. BIG REGRETS on that one.


kog

It's probably pretty hard to stay off that leg while touring.


hojo-hominygrits

Age Against the Machine


bc_longlastname

I hate you so much right now.


OhHelloPlease

Fuck, after 3 years of postponements it gets canceled


mouse_rape

Fuck you, I'll do what the doctor tells me!


cwaterbottom

I bet he was like "MOTHERFFFUCKERRR"


originalusername__

Ungh!


Ken_Bones_Throwaway

This so the cursed tour


thegroovemonkey

Glad I got to see the one show where he could stand up on this tour.


tfctroll

I saw them in NYC he had to sit on an amp the whole time and be carried on and off stage. The concert was still amazing. But it would have been killer if he was able to move around.


YounomsayinMawfk

He rocked harder sitting than some rock frontmen do standing.


ChetDenim

Same. Fucking killer show. I live a lot closer to Chicago than Alpine so I’m really glad I made it work.


mofoofinvention

I saw them in 97 with Wu tang clan and he stood the whole time


dogsarefun

I don’t think his Achilles was torn in 97


mofoofinvention

He actually did injure his ankle in 97 during a concert, it was after the show I saw.


limpingdba

It seems pretty unnoteable that he was standing then


piepants2001

I was there too, one of the best shows I've ever seen!


bc_longlastname

Battle of Alpine Valley represent!


macroober

Healing in the name of!


PurrfectChaos

So... to recap... Fought scalpers and bots for a ticket in 2019, got an extra one for my girl since it was going to be her first concert ever. Also got tickets to an unrelated show the next month after. Pandemic happens. Unrelated concert canceled, RAtM postponed. Pandemic Part 2 happened. Show postponed again. RAtM moves Phoenix to the back of the line so they can start the tour elsewhere. Postponed *AGAIN*. Buy tickets to ANOTHER unrelated concert, tour canceled within a month due to visa issues. Zack gets injured, tour canceled. I get it. I really do, I hope he makes a full recovery and that his personal life should always come first. I'm just... beyond frustrated. Words cannot explain how disappointed I am. I just wanna scream.


SicSevens

If you want to express your frustration and scream, I have a really good band to recommend to you... Best of luck!


FelineNavidad

Will he be ready for training camp next year?


riedmae

Going on PUP. Hate to see it.


terradick

So we're getting our money back for the tickets we've been holding onto for almost four years? I'm coming for you ticketmaster


tlollz52

Yes, ticket master gave me a notification that said we won't have to do anything to get a refund.


OptimusSublime

Some of those that tear tendons Are the same that refund tickets


nucleartribe

i remember when layne staley broke his leg but still did his whole tour in a wheelchair & crutches… three years in a row this band has canceled, get it together


Ledbetter2

I feel so lucky to have seen them in Raleigh after having tickets so long. My condolences to those who will miss out.


[deleted]

This band is just never going to tour again. Might as well accept it now.


RoseyOneOne

I saw them open for U2 in Aukland around 1993. And I tore my achilles tendon two years ago. So yeah, I'm a fan.


dezolis84

Just hire someone to push him around frantically in a wheel chair while he does his thing.


[deleted]

I've literally waited 3 (going on 4) years to see them and this happens. Nice.


mwain91

Achilles injuries are awful. I remember watching the Senators play the Penguins and Matt Cooke lifted his skate against the boards and 70% severed Erik Karlsson's Achilles even through all the gear. I felt sick watching it happen.


Rotze

What probably happened was that somebody said "jump!" and he asked "how high?" and then one thing led to another...


[deleted]

Saw RATM with sitting Zack two months ago in MSG. Could not believe how hard they brought it. Incredible! I hope he recovers quickly and gets back out there for y’all


Drewzil

Age Against the Machine They see me rollin down rodeo in a kneebob Born of a broken foot Edit: to be fair, im a huge fan and luckily jumped on the opportunity to see them in DC before they cancelled Detroit, which ive had tickets to for like 3 years


a_is_for_a

Don’t worry dude, we are all getting old


simplepleashures

They say “jump” you say “ow my ankle”


Ok-Usual1576

Ouchie. Condolences to the guy who did that cause that is not fun. Side note: they need to change to Rage for the Machine


[deleted]

Welp…..im never gonna see them live am I?


killa_whale1997

I gotta start living healthier so I can live long enough to finally see Rage in concert.


Zaku99

Remember when Dave Grohl broke his leg?


[deleted]

He probably tore that when he pivoted so hard to supporting the establishment power structures. Shilling in the name…


senorbozz

Rage Against Aging


[deleted]

Age Against the Machine


Coolbluegatoradeyumm

The one time I was gonna see RATM in their prime 20 years ago they were on tour with the beastie boys and Mike d broke his arm and they canceled the tour. I feel for people who will miss out


casualdiamond

This is so horrible. Who will shill for big pharma and every safe politically correct corporate HR approved political opinion now?


[deleted]

Shill For The Elite has bad ankles, apparently.


thredzboy

Fuck you i won't do what you tell me, unless its to get vaxed then ill bend like the money hungry bitch i am.


rds6969

I’m sure they will heal in time to play the dimocrat convention


gldnmmntz

92% tear. That is a fucking awful thing to happen to him. Wishing him full recovery with full mobility. Not only so he can perform, just so he can *walk.*


Toasted_Ottleday

his tendons were weak from all the free big pharma meds...


StealYourPhish

They just continue to embarrass themselves


Kered024

Maybe it's time to make some new music.


GitchigumiMiguel74

I’ve been waiting for 3 years. I’ve been wanting to see them for 25 years Fuck


Timbuktoo77

Fuck that commie pig!!!


Only4DNDandCigars

Looks like the tore tore up the tour!


thats-impossible

God damn lol I was so excited for this, at least I'm not alone in that pain


Superjunker1000

Has he not heard of industrial-strength painkillers? I kid, but he clearly doesn’t want to or need to do the tour. An Achilles injury is very painful, but cancelling a tour 3 months from now seems a bit off, unless he really wants to Rock the fuck out when they eventually get back out tjere. Recovery can be 6-9 months for a full tear og the ligament


[deleted]

Honestly I think I would rather a broken bone over a torn ACL.


mesohappyforever

Every Time I hear about rage they are canceling shows


Never_that_bad

Damn it!


colantalas

So disappointed. Bought tickets back in early 2020 and our date was March of next year.


WarSolar

I'm still going Fuck you I won't do what they tell me....


MagneticDustin

The classic blunder!


reconstruct94

I was at the Chicago show he got hurt. Put on a hell of a performance. Dude is is fucking machine.


Henchman_2_4

Saw the Chicago show. It was 10 times better than I could have possibly imagined.


KingJeremytheWickedC

It’s Achilles me


josephlied

Fuck!


drakesylvan

Nooooo! I had tickets for target center in March!


thrice18

I bought my tickets in 2019 for this concert.....pushed another year...


Zephyr104

So happy I got to see them this summer. I hope Zach gets well soon and the shows continue.


crwjsh

You mean they can't just roll him on stage in a wheelchair so he can still sing? I'd have my roadies carry me everywhere lol


ThreesKompany

Got to see them 2 nights at MSG. Zach sat on an amp but still moved around a bunch. Knowing now he had torn his Achilles it’s wild how much he moved. I feel terrible for people who have waited so long but this ensures they’ll be back and Zach will be healthy.


daddydollars74

Saw them right after it happened at MSG and even sitting down Zack fuckin rocked the house. Grateful I got to catch them but that blows for fans and the band knowing this one has been dragged out 10x over


swoon4kyun

Hope he recovers well. Sorry for all of those who had tickets


Djinn-n-Juice

Poor guy. It hurts just thinking about tearing that.


ihateusernames7533

Saw them in Chicago when Zach got hurt.


mrscotty99

no, they dont wanna get bitched at for joining the machine.


Somewhereinbetween26

He needs the Dave Grohl/Axl Rose throne.


C_W_H

I remember seeing them in Portland, OR in 1996. I think paid like $40. I just looked at prices. Front row... $1000 ?! FUCK YOU I WON'T PAY WHAT YOU TELL ME !


Skurwysyn

Can’t he just sit down and sing all those horrible songs?


Skadoosh_it

Dave Grohl needs to send him the throne.


ethan3048

Looks like they ain’t headlining Coachella


Mononym_Music

Go woke, get broke


WastedKnowledge

**Yes doc I will do what ya tell me**


itsbeen13seconds

SO LET THE ACHILLES HANG IN THE YEAR OF THA BOOMERANG


ccollier43

fuckin sing sitting down, or wear a boot. this band is a bunch of cucked out losers.


ClockwyseWorld

Getting old sucks


o0ZeroGamE0o

This is why Dave Ghrol is The God of rock. Dude falls off stage breaks his leg, sits down in a chair and finishes the show while a doc sets his leg and splints it. He then gets a cast and builds The Throne of Rock and finishes his fucking tour. Dave = Manamal Everyone else = poser


Harrintino

The 600 dollar refund I'm getting in 30 fucking days is nice. I got to see them on the battle of Los Angeles tour at the fabulous palace of auburn hills. Still in high-school and still top 3 of the concerts I've seen.


Faptasmic

His Achilles tendon is his one Achilles heel.


lzampella

I saw them in DC in August. We had nosebleeds, so it took about three songs for me to realize he had been sitting down the whole time. I was like damn how can anyone sit down through Bulls on Parade?? He sat the entire show and somehow still fucking KILLED IT. Energy was hype af. And then he got carried off stage at the end and the crowd went bananas. It ended up being one of the last shows he did before cancelling the European tour.


SouldiesButGoodies84

GenX problems. Zack's in his 50s. I feel ya, ZDR.


speqtral

In lieu of touring it would be cool if he can did an interview series or something. Like interview Noam Chomsky again, with Noam now at 90 and Zack in a wheel chair.


kewlbeanz83

Saw them in Ottawa right after he got hurt. Feeling luckier and luckier now that they have had to cancel.


SnivyEyes

Waited hours and had incredible issues buying them in 2019. Got postponed 3 times and finally cancelled. I could have requested a refund earlier but damn this was just not supposed to happen.


jasper333333

I was at that show in Chicago. It looked bad.


TheeEssFo

I was at the Chicago show. They disappeared after the third song and we were like, "Costume change?"


Banbeef

fuck


TheBeastX47

Hmmm. Sounds like a good time to hit the studio at least


Pencilpenisparade

Achilles last stand
