1999 Rage Against The Machine Battle Of Los Angeles Tour Tee
This is a 1999 Rage Against the Machine tee issued in support of their third studio album, The Battle of Los Angeles—a record that defined late-'90s political rock and cemented RATM’s place in music history. The front features the band’s name in their trademark stencil type, with the ghostly silhouette of a figure mid-motion, spray-painting a wall—an image pulled directly from the album's iconic cover art by artist Joey Krebs (aka The Street Phantom). It's stark, rebellious, and instantly recognizable.
Printed on a soft, worn-in white cotton body with a vibrant graphic, this piece feels like a time capsule from the late Clinton-era counterculture—a moment when music, activism, and anti-corporate rage collided with poetic force. RATM’s 1999 release was nominated for a Grammy and lauded for tracks like “Guerrilla Radio” and “Sleep Now in the Fire,” and shirts like this one were typically sold at shows or through select music retailers.
This tee isn’t just merch—it’s a cultural statement, wrapped in the visual language of protest. The design leans into the stripped-down, anti-commercial aesthetic the band embraced, and the art speaks just as loudly today. Whether you were in the pit in ’99 or discovered Rage through vinyl or streaming, this shirt stands as a wearable monument to a moment in musical resistance.
Tagged XL. Measures 24×30.
Flaws - None
A must for serious band tee collectors, fans of protest art, or anyone who wants to wear their ideology loud. Pieces from this era with album-specific art are getting harder to find—especially in wearable condition with original graphics intact.
