Self promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Sunday, November 27th, 2011 2:16am PST - promote requested by original submitter Norsuelefantti.

I'm ignorant of these things, but do new bands actually write and rehearse an entire album's worth of music without doing a single performance? I mean, surely in the months or years that process takes, they'd be trying to get on any stage they could, even for just a couple songs.

Anyway, awesome piece of musical history.

Even that early, they definitely had it.

that venue may not of been that ritzy

I'm sorry, absolute first performance of RATM or not, the BEST part is right around the 44:54 mark, with "Wave you hands up in the air".

And then ONE guy does it.

...and then realizes he's the only guy doing it.

....and then slowly stops.

I didn't expect them to sound so good live so early, but that was tight.

bloody amazing, thanks for sharing.

These kids are pretty good...they might just have a future in the music business.

At the time this video was made, they have a whole album of songs that are just about studio ready. At this point, they've been writing and playing together in somebody's garage for a long time. In all that time, I find it hard to believe they didn't get on a single stage. Is all I'm sayin'.>> ^packo:

Its strange to think that the term RATM was first purposed by a guy named Kent McClard of Ebullition Records. Back then Ebullition was one of the most underground, innovative and radical hardcore labels in th world. I guess Kent proposed the name for an Inside Out album to be released on Ebullition... Which seems strange since Ebullition and their bands were way more politically radical than Inside Out or RATM.

Dont know what the story is with this being a whole album performed live for a first show but maybe the band had be playing for a while and waiting for the right vocalist who happened to have a good band name in mind?

If I remember my RAGE history, Morello (lead guitar) founded the band with Zack (singer), they were the first two members.

"These guys any good?" (37:19)
