Rage mainman Peavy Wagner has checked in with the statement regarding the line-up changes within the band. Guitarist Marcos Rodriguez will not perform with Rage anymore due to personal and private reasons.
Peavy's full statement: "Hi Rageheads, this is Peavy...there are some changes coming up in the Rage Camp that I want to inform you about. Our friend and guitar player Marcos Rodriguez will not perform with Rage anymore due to personal and private reasons that make it necessary for him to move on. There are no bad feelings or arguments between us, we will continue being friends and we will surely continue making music together just a bit more "behind the scenes". Life is changing constantly and so it is for us. As I want only the best for my friends, I accept his decision and wish him all the best for his future, so do all of us in the Rage Camp.
"At the same time I'm planning for the future of Rage! Now, I am thinking about upgrading the band into a four piece line up with two guitar men at my side. My vision is to get a perfect line up in the way Rage sounded in the 90's, only better and at a modern level. We're working hard right now to bring Rage on that new level! Very soon we will present you the retreaded shape of the Rage Metal institution ! Watch out for upcoming news and stay healthy, so we can celebrate our favourite music and songs as soon as the corona crisis is under control?Your Metal brother."

He was a good guitarist and provided great backing vocals. So in that sense it's kind of sad but Peavy has always chosen good guitarists so i'm not worried. Maybe Manni Schmidt returns? And I like the idea of having two guitarists again, when it was Smolski and Terrana it worked great with only one guitarist but overall I think Rage sounded best with two guitars.

Written by skelator on 06.05.2020 at 19:59 Wot? I used to listen to RAGE when the German/Russian/American trio made wonders. Now that they are back to their roots shleving away all symphonic parts I don't feel any interest in them any more.

Written by s_t_s on 09.05.2020 at 19:26 Good. No symphonic crap. Rage should be heavy metal band. They recorded album with orchestra back in 1996 and it was great. But thats enough. Bring back raw power and Smolski can do what he like somewhere else. I dont care about him.

Seems to me that they always had some symphony parts injected in their albums from the 90s, like Black In Mind for instance. Uh?
