DENVER COLISEUM -- Sending 9,800 fans into a frenzy, Rage Against the Machine has taken the Denver Coliseum stage, opening with its hit "Guerrilla Radio" -- undoubtedly chosen for its galvanizing chorus: "What better place than here? What better time than now? All hell can't stop us now!"
The concert is a prelude to a march planned from the coliseum to the Pepsi Center sponsored by Iraq Veterans Against the War and Tent State University.
The four band members took the stage by lining up and saluting several Iraq veterans who had been addressing the crowd.

I am a Iraq Vet. And all I hope is that these people at the concert do not get out of hand and make all Vets look bad.
