Things heated up this Sunday at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California -- and it wasn't just the 103 degree weather. Militant rap-rock group Rage Against the Machine took the stage after seven years of silence, sending mosh pitt maniacs into a moshing frenzy.

Rage Against the Machine broke up when singer Zack de la Rocha left to begin a solo career. The group topped the U.S. pop album charts twice in the 1990s with releases steeped in leftist politics and anti-corporate tirades, with smash hits like the powerful "Bullet in the Head", "Bombtrack", "Killing in the Name" and "Freedom".

The group's reunion gig was the most-anticipated performance of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in the desert town of Indio, about 120 miles east of Los Angeles. The three-day festival drew 60,000 fans.
