"Guerrilla Radio" is the second track from the 1999 album ''The Battle of Los Angeles'' by the band Rage Against the Machine. The band won the Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance for this song. It has remained one of their signature tracks. "Guerrilla Radio" was also featured on the soundtracks for video games such as ''Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2'', ''Madden NFL 10'' and ''Guitar Hero Live'', as well as being a downloadable track for the ''Rock Band'' series. ==History== "Guerrilla Radio" was performed live on the ''Late Show with David Letterman'' in 1999. During the commercial break, "Bulls on Parade" was played and was re-joined in progress while the credits were playing. Letterman joked that "he hoped they (Rage Against the Machine) weren't neglecting their school work". The performance was controversial due to Zack de la Rocha giving the middle finger on live TV and wearing a "Free Mumia Abu-Jamal" t-shirt. On January 28, 2000, documentary film maker Michael Moore convinced campaigning politician Alan Keyes to mosh in a truck with young teenagers listening to "Guerrilla Radio". Keyes, who was campaigning for the Republican nomination at the Iowa caucuses, agreed to join in the mosh for the endorsement of Moore's satirical television show, ''The Awful Truth''.〔(''How We Got Alan Keyes to Dive Into Our Mosh Pit (and other scenes from our first week of shooting)'' Article from michaelmoore.com )〕 The song was covered by lounge/comedy group Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine, whose band name also spoofs Rage. In April 2007, Alanis Morissette covered it live. On July 2007, the song's video for "Guerrilla Radio" was ranked #45 on MuchMusic's 50 Most Controversial Videos for extreme amounts of profanity. Though, it appeared in RTPNadverts in the summer of 2006, as an instrumental song. This song is featured on the album ''Body of War: Songs that Inspired an Iraq War Veteran''. "Guerrilla Radio" made its live debut on September 11, 1999, at the Oxford Zodiac in England. The song is one of 31 music files in the ''Sony BMG v. Tenenbaum'' case, which resulted in finding the individual file-sharer liable for copyright infringement in July 2009, demanding an award of $22,500 a song. In December 2009, Guerilla Radio was placed #54 on Channel V's Top 1000 Noughties Music Videos of the decade, Countdown. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guerrilla Radio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
