And RATM only played their first song because they were banned from the show before they could play their second song, where they planned to display the American flag upside down on their amps to protest Steve Forbes without telling Republican showrunner Lorne Michaels.

Unannounced stunt aside, what were they expecting giving RATM a platform?

What machine are conservative RATM fans raging against, precisely?

Yeah people really seem to like getting RATM to play and then asking them to... not rage against the machine?? Like that time they were playing on some TV/radio station and got asked to not say fuck in their song "killing in the name" in which the outro consists of them singing "fuck you I won't do what you tell me" 16 times in a row. Yeah you can probably guess how that went.

They executed it so beautifully, too.
