Rage "against" the Machine?

I've a question that may sound ridiculous to some but I've been thinking about it for a long, long time. The thing is about the very name of the band and one word in particular -- against. You see, against is a preposition and in English those are written in lowercase, even in titles, band names and so on. This is true for e.g. such bands like Scars on Broadway or Fields of the Nephilim. So how comes that we write Rage Against the Machine? Shouldn't it be Rage against the Machine instead? It seems more logical to me but I refrain from moving the page as it may feel drastic to many and I'm still not sure whether I am right or not. Hope that some of you will resolve my doubts. --Jovaen (talk) 13:38, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hiatus?

The band has not been active since 2011, and following Brad Wilk's comment that the band played their final show at the LA Rising Festival (http://www.nme.com/news/rage-against-the-machine/77052), along with the comments from other members (http://www.nme.com/news/rage-against-the-machine--2/71494) that the band has no plans to perform live or record, I think that the article should state that the band is on hiatus. In the infobox, in the "years active" section it should have "on hiatus since 2011" in the brackets.--Milosppf (talk) 17:32, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Should we call this band, Nine Inch Nails, Fear Factory, 311, Faith No More and Tool 'Proto-Nu Metal'? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MaggotSupremacy555 (talk • contribs) 15:03, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
