“‘Pop Goes the Weapon’ reflects the ongoing gun violence happening in America,” stated B-Real in a press release. Guitarist Tom Morello, added, “Guns are both the subject of religious worship and huge profits in the United States. Combined with emboldened white nationalism the recent epidemic of massacres is little surprise. ‘Pop Goes the Weapon’ channels our ‘thoughts & prayers’ through Marshall stacks and microphones.”
In addition to B-Real and Tom Morello, Prophets of Rage are Morello’s Rage Against the Machine bandmates Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk, as well as Public Enemy members Chuck D and DJ Lord.
Morello said back in May, “We’ve been working on new music. … It’s like The Avengers — we all come together for the Infinity War!”
