Founded in 1991,In 1991, guitarist Tom Morello left his old band, Lock Up, looking to start another band. Morello was in a club in L.A where Zack de la Rocha was rapping. Morello was impressed by de la Rocha, and asked him to be vocalist in a band. Morello called and drafted a drummer named Brad Wilk, who had previously auditioned for Lock Up. De la Rocha had a childhood friend, Tim Commerford, whom he convinced to join as bassist. This lineup would last until the band's breakup nine years later.
Their name was derived from a phrase Ebullition Records founder Kenny McLard coined in his zine No Answers (issue #9). Originally, de la Rocha wanted to use the title Rage Against the Machine for an upcoming album by his then-current band, Inside Out. This album never saw fruition and instead he used the phrase after Morello, de la Rocha, Wilk and Commerford started a group.
