Rage against the machineTom Morello collided with security during the rock band’s concert at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena on Saturday.
As seen in a fan-captured video, the iconic guitarist was accidentally knocked over midway through the group’s closing song “Killing in the Name” by a guard who sprinted toward an unruly fan who snuck onto the stage.
Rage frontman Zack de la Rocha – who was sitting out due to a recent foot injury – continued to perform the heavy protest track for a while before realizing there was a problem and the show shutting down. “Stop, stop, stop,” the rapper repeated, gesturing to his bandmates to stop the performance.
As the lights came on, Morello quickly stood up with a smile on his face and indicated to the roaring crowd that he had not been injured in the incident. After the musician returned to the stage with his guitar, de la Rocha uttered a few words of caution to other concertgoers with wild ideas about the stage crash.
“Whoever gets so wise, don’t try that again,” the frontman warned, as bassist Tim Commerford interrupted him to ask what had happened. De la Rocha continued: “Sorry, we’re cool, we love you, but don’t do that!”
Morello then motioned for the group to restart “Killing in the Name” from the top, and Rage finished their 18-song set.
RATM’s long Public Service Announcement Tour with Run the Jewels, launched July 9 at the sold-out Alpine Valley Music Theater in East Troy, Wisconsin, marked Rage’s first show in 11 years. The next stop of the trek is Monday at the KeyBand Center in Buffalo, New York.
