"Renegades" is the fourth and final album by Rage Against the Machine.

It consists entirely of cover songs and includes covers of artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Minor Threat, Eric B. & Rakim, EPMD, MC5, the Rolling Stones, Cypress Hill, and Devo.It was released in 2000, after Rage singer Zack de la Rocha had already left the band, but featured his vocals. It is rumored that Zack did not want the album to be released, and the band secured separate management to ensure it would come out. After the release of "Renegades", the remaining three members of the band reformed with Chris Cornell on vocals as Audioslave. Rage did, however, release one final album, "Live at the Grand Olympic Auditorium", a live recording of their final two concerts in Los Angeles on September 12 and September 13, 2000. The bonus live version of "Kick Out the Jams" on the European version of this album also appears on "Live at the Grand Olympic Auditorium".

Album artwork

The cover art is a parody of the iconic pop art work LOVE by Robert Indiana. The album shipped with four different versions of the cover: either red lettering with black and either blue or green background, or with the red and black switched. (see infobox for images).

The album artwork includes a poem by Josh Koppel: "I write messages on money. ""It's my own form of social protest. ""A letter printed on paper that no one will destroy ""passed indiscriminately across race, class and gender lines ""and written in the blood that keeps the beast alive. ""A quiet little hijacking ""on the way to the check-out counter ""And a federal crime. ""I hope that someone will find my message one day when they really need it. ""Like I do." "

The artwork ends with a photograph of an American one dollar bill with the message "YOU ARE NOT A SLAVE" written on the back.
