Tom Morello last week twitted “Greece is the word”, a take on the movie Grease.
Chuck D posted sound check video of the PE anthem ‘Fight the Power’.
On Instagram, Tom Morello wrote “19 years ago #RATM played to one of the craziest & most memorable crowds ever in Athens. Tonight’s @prophetsofrage crowd might have topped it. The crazy bonfires, the militant comrades, the stunning aftershow view and the emotional @chriscornellofficial “Cochise” tribute with spotlight on empty mic were highlights for me.”
