Rage Against the Machine fans waited more than a decade for their favorite musical molotov cocktail to hit the road again. And after kicking off their reunion tour on Saturday in Alpine Valley, Wisconsin, there was no way incendiary shouter/rapper Zack de la Rocha was going to let a little foot sprain deter him from serving up the fiery goods to a packed house at Chicago’s United Center during Monday night’s (July 11) second show of the Public Service Announcement Tour.
Unfortunately, early in the set of Monday’s show, de la Rocha appeared to injure his foot after jumping around during “Bullet in the Head” and he had to resort to sitting on a stage monitor to rest. A short time later during “Testify” he explained to the hyped crowd that there was absolutely nothing that would deter him from rocking the place to ashes that night.
“I don’t know what happened to my leg right now, but you know what? We’re gonna keep this f–kin’ s–t goin,'” he told the audience as images of an in-flames police van burned on the screen behind him. “If I have to crawl across this stage. We’re gonna play for y’all tonight. We came too f–kin’ far.”
According to a report from Consequence of Sound, the injury came 4 songs into the set, after which de la Rocha was reportedly helped off the stage by several crew members and then brought back out a short time later with the frontman taking a seat on the monitor to complete the gig. CoS added that the rapper tried to stand up several times during the remainder of the set but was unable to put any weight on his injured leg.
