This incredible tee was made back in the late 90s for the influential rap rock group Rage Against the Machine. This double-sided shirt was made around the peak of the band's mainstream success, in honor of their 1999 tour promoting the album The Battle of Los Angeles. This third studio album sold more 400,000 copies in just its first week. The record debuted at number one, and even bared Mariah Carey's high-anticipated Rainbow from the top of the charts.

In typical fashion, The Battle of Los Angeles featured highly political lyrics and themes. Notable tracks included the singles "Guerrilla Radio", "Testify", and "Sleep Now in the Fire", the last of which resulted in an infamous incident that occurred during the shoot for the song's music video.

The video was directed by Michael Moore, who's perhaps best known for his documentary Fahrenheit 9/11. The music video was shot outside of the New York Stock Exchange, and afterward both the band and fans stormed the building and forced the exchange to shut their doors, effectively putting a halt to trading at the stock exchange during the height of the day.

Fits like a modern unisex adult Extra Large. There's some fading on the shoulders and a small hole on the back near the bottom, see pics.
