Yeah, I hear ya, they need to WAKE UP!!!

@@denizkendirci i think it is because this song is so hype. Like the lyrics of course are warning you about dangerous police, but cmon, there are people that dont get them and think they are too political.

@@Dom213 Also it's mind blowing they can be politcally interpreted either way if you're a fash. Like ''fuck yeah we burn crosses, and we won't do what you tell us cause we're the silent minority''. lol

It was probably Zach’s polo shirt. That seemed to be the major takeaway from all of this. Polo shirts.

@@MachTuckChuck lol lets be honest.. it was a good one. Guess sells them now for like 130

🙌🙌🙌🙌

Yep, back when Pinkpop used to be awesome

Belgium rules.

Wow man that is awesome thanks - didn't know that but not too surprised...

@@pinzgauerbelgium Belgium?

Still haven't listened to them for sure.

After the listening they risk to start thinking.

😂

You're right, i didn't know Tom Morello was of African descent. The lead singer father was of African and Mexican decent.

Their "point" is that people shouldn't have individual liberty. The "machine" they are against, is western civilization

Not any more....they use to be rage against the machine now they are rage for the machine

​@@XDruciferX Are you dumb?

They are intelligent but not politically

I echo this. RATM lyric videos are a must.

Agreed! Always!!!

I'd also recommend starting with the music videos, rather than going live first. For me at least, it's hard to catch the lyrics because these are older recordings and the vocal mixing on live performances makes it difficult to catch the lyrics.

FACTS

They are communists, so today they can be called Rage For The Machine..................

Yep. Sad to say that they are either stoned massively or just don’t actually listen to the words. Guys c’mon pick it up.

For REAL.

They keep talking over the lyrics - that's why it went over their head. They weren't prepared for what they were about to hear to catch the cultural significance of it. IMHO, this is the kind of song that you have to have the lyrics laid out beside you as you listen to it for the first time to really get what they have the kahunas to say.

@@hmmhmmhmm3 Yeah I was looking to see if they actually heard "Some of those that work forces Are the same that burn crosses" because for me when I heard it when I was like 10 living in Ireland I realised what it was about. I didn't even know much about America or what was going on at that time of my life, but as an Irish person it resonated to how the troubles started up north. And the war of independence here too. So I'd imagine it would resonate with black people in the US even more so.

Hahahaha. That has to be the most sedate and respectful takedown ever.

Tom fucking Morello

Morello is an absolute axe god. Period.

Not quite but he was pretty good for sure

These guys are absolute clowns.

not a big surprise

HEART-BREAKING tbh

And it was glorious. A massive two fingers to Simon Cowbell.

@@Bear10174 and it has been this way for what, 6 odd years now? It's a Christmas tradition at this point.

Then they (RATM) came & played a show, right? So cool

F-ck you I won’t buy what you tell me? Nice. Well done UK.

ahhhh memories

They told people to listen to the government and take all the jabs... "Do what they tell you" They refused to lower their ticket prices and made millions in the stock market while shouting about how evil capitalism is... They are greedy and they are racists... and their guitar player can't solo...they are frauds and you are sheep

Flew right over their heads

100% and he does rap over the rock beats. Yall got a lot of listening to do lol.

Facts. Rage are fucking revolutionaries! It's a shame these lyrics are so applicable to today's issues! Still!

@@wee_man710 should talk less and pay attention

thats because not too many people LEARN or appreciate HISTORY.... Just like that Song title by Propellerheads... History Repeating Ever hear of the Clash? or the Jam... Brithish bands of the late 70's early 80's a lot of their songs are still and can be applied today.

31 years ago the song came out and sadly little has changed, if anything it has worsened and become more pernicious.

They were hearing but they wasn't listening

i think they're probably always relevant

F Rage , they are the machine , sellouts .

That's what I was thinking too. And ironically, they are all African-Americans and the meaning of the song is lost on them.

stop gatekeeping how people listen to song its fucking cringe let them enjoy the song how ever they want

@@donnswaby369 no one cares.. let people enjoy how they want.. stop gatekeeping

@@hikhik6441 opinions are like assh*les. Everyone has one. I expressed mine which I'm allowed to do in a polite way. They are allowed to listen to music however they like. It was just disappointing they didn't understand the music in order to truly appreciate it or the band. My opinion still stands.

@@hikhik6441 Stop gatekeeping how people want to review reactors on KZfaq.

Thank you for explaning. I have heard of this group, but I never actually listened. I am watching this video in the wake of the Tyre Nichols beating. Very interesting. Even the way the audience chants back about "Gotta do what they told you" is pretty creepy, but that is our reality today.

@@gems3604 and tyre nicols beaters were all black lmao, blm cant say anything

@@spaceli0n You do realize that blm is not really about "black" lives other than using it as trauma porn to make more $$$ for themselves. They have their own agenda that has absolutely nothing to do with victims of police brutality. I am referring to the leaders of the movement and not the people who participated in good faith. The blm leaders have pulled off the greatest hoax of the 21st century.

Rodney King was a tragedy. But, keep in mind, he led police on a high speed chase, nearly wrecked into other cars and then refused to exit the vehicle. He acted erratically and resisted arrest. The riots were even worse. Look up truck driver Reginald Denny, who was pulled out of his truck and savagely beaten. Every time, the riots are far worse than the police beatings. And they are NEVER justified. NEVER is looting, burning, beating or killing a justified response. In my eyes it’s worse.

@@danielbeckstedt767 Don't you get the feeling we are part of a human lab rat experiment? Everybody does stuff to up the ante to ratchet up the violence. The so-called authorities and peace officers seem just as blameworthy as the original perpetrators. And then you have outside groups who go in and provoke and incite people to react and overreact. I am willing to accept the Rodney King was an unfortunate incident that got out of hand. But all of these different incidents that happen especially in urban black communities seem calculated to stir people's anger. In the George Floyd case you had outsiders handing out bricks and encouraging people to create mayhem. What does that have to do with happened? Here in the Nichols case the special unit is very special indeed. They were recruited specially. Why is that? The corruption in that department is blatant. I think people were hoping there would be a huge riot, but it didn't happen. Anyway, forgive me. I am one of those tinfoil hat people seeing a conspiracy everywhere. But trust me that Nichols case is about more than what you think.

The band needs better enunciation of the words they use

@@domohuerta6284 Yes, this is exactly why I sugguested the album versions. The live versions' lyrics are unclear, but the album versions' lyrics are very clear. RATM is one of those bands where the lyrics are even more important than the music.

Agree, I would also add Bulls On Parade to that list 👌

Add Testify to that as well.

Bulls on parade

Now they are "Rage for the Machine."

@@bassage13 bullshit.

@@bassage13 more like "Shill for the Machine" Can't forget they pushed for vax mandates and held a concert for only vaxxed people.

@@deplorableme4678 Probably sponsored by Pfizer.

@@bassage13 hahaha your comment got deleted but I read it in my notifications. Definitely sponsored by fyzer

No, they don't. They're communist and still spread anti-cop rhetoric. They're the worst, most misinformed types of activists you could give a voice to.

Agreed Bulls on Parade will open their eyes

I never understood why people recommend this song to first time listeners… it absolutely offers nothing new to first time listeners and RATM is one of my all time favorite bands. As good as this song is, it’s a protest anthem. It doesn’t show off Zach’s lyrical ability and it doesn’t show Tom Morello’s skill in the guitar. For a first time listener, it more than likely sounds like just another rock song.. People need to do better when requesting Rage songs. Everyone who listens to Rage for the first time always loses their mind on “Bulls on Parade” because it shows off their talent.

This version kills it kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kL9krNqqq77ImZ8.html

@@cochip__5897 Down Rodeo, Justify, Take The Power Back, Maria, there's no shortage of great songs to react to from these guys.

They were together in one show? Pfff, iconic...

You are actually a lot more free to air your ideas and thoughts before. Now, you get canceled if there is a vocal few disagrees with what you're saying/doing.

RATM is one of my favorites! Zach De laroche is a total badass!

@@rap3208not at all that’s what the big guys, the deciders, want you to think. They actually aren’t that able to science you in this free Information Age so if you have an opinion voice it and if they cancel you just use that as evidence for your opinion.

yet idiots keeps requesting this song as the go-to RATM song

@@KyuzouTV because it's a classic song with a big message. Maybe there are better songs to recommend first but it makes sense why a lot of ppl choose this one

Township rebellion

Bomb track is my favorite

They need to do Vietnow.

Those were the days!! These kids have no idea what they missed 😂 LISTEN TO THE LYRICS!! 🙄

They usually go back over lyrics. They've done so with several songs and they love Metallica now.

Saw them at rock the bells. They ended the set with this song, said good night, and turned the lights out. The crowd kept changing encore and eventually the lights came back on and they played bulls on parade to thunderous roars. There were several massive fires around the venue by the time they left the stage. Now imagine if Zach's spit was crystal clear... I guess that just wouldn't be rage though would it.

@@coolmanrilcool awesome 👌 what a great memory!!

You can see them again for 800 dollars a ticket!!!

Also down rodeo

Same here man!!! I had no idea when I was younger. So fucking proud of that man

And of course, Tom Morello's story is also SUPER interesting. Or should I say Dr. Morello? 🤔

​@@BHuesmannMr. Trekkie himself, Tom Morello.

what about on his mom side? She is important too.

@@nachodiaz2221the Black side 💪🏾

they're frauds man they side with the establishment during covid Maine made Millions off the stock market.. and they refused to lower their ticket prices they had the highest ticket prices out of all the bands

That band spoke truth to power except when they sang about putting the Kremlin in charge of the world because selling records freaking out boomers was a money firehose.. Zach de la Rocha is a national treasure

@@bus6292 They told people to listen to the government and take all the jabs... "Do what they tell you" They refused to lower their ticket prices and made millions in the stock market while shouting about how evil capitalism is... They are greedy and they are racists... and their guitar player can't solo...they are frauds and you are sheep

They all missed the WHOLE chorus... "Those who run forces, are the same who burn crosses." ... racist, KKK people in the state as cops. These dudes REALLY need to turn on lyrics/subtitles for videos and talk about them. Rage Against The Machine and System of a Down speak for the movement.

Listen to Dutch band Urban Dance Squad, they were the main influence, byt RATM own admittance, on their music.

worst reaction of this song EVER

As an adult I hear there message and still holds true. But as an adult, unfortunately they a propaganda band for big government and to control the masses into submissions to being about a dystopia for purity. Yup, same thought process as you know who. Same message all the military dictators said in South and Central America. How naive I was as a child, guess that's why the young die in wars as fotter.... (this is my opinion being born into poverty in Central America, as being lied to my entire childhood about freedom and protection. When they took all of our money, votes and opportunity. In return we were guaranteed universal poverty, equity and equality of nothing. Now I live in the USA and am sad to see how ungrateful people are to be in the best county on the planet. Because it isn't fair, being equally poor is far worse they having a arrogant president when you can feed your family and not stress about it.

And now they ride with the machine.

Straight facts

Wise words ..

Damn straight!

The Perfect Song

That`s my fave by them!

Probably because they were so young 😅 You don’t worry so much at that age, you have your convictions and feel very passionately about them maybe because you just don’t have enough knowledge and experience to realize that things are rarely just black and white.
