I saw Rage play live with Wu-Tang Clan back in '97. Rage was two songs in, when Zack started jumping. He came down and broke his ankle on stage. They took him back stage, wrapped his ankle up, and ten minutes later he was back on stage, jumping around on one foot. Finished the show out. He is nothing if not dedicated.

Rage were way ahead of their time. Not surprising Tom went to Harvard for political science, but dude has a Masters in guitar. And Zack's lyrics, voice, and anger get the message across even more. Sometimes stars align and you get the perfect band. Like Rage

“When RATM first started out, no bands in the rock world wanted to touch us for a support act. It was Public Enemy, Cypress Hill and House of Pain that truly supported RATM in our earliest days."

Rage never got the respect they deserve. Zack's lyrics are truth, Tim's bass is funky and groovy as hell. and of course Tom on guitar the only man to ever "scratch" a guitar.

I love his guitar says "arm the homeless"

I,m 63 and usually listen to classic rock but I love these guys and their messages. They are great live.

60 years old and still RAGING with these young men!!! I'm calm like a bomb!!!

One of my new hobbies is watching brothers react to Rage lol

Fun fact: Guitarist Tom Morello has a Bachelor's degree with honors in Political Science from Harvard. Yep that's right Harvard.

I'm 62 and this is my first time hearing this band. I really like the music and the thought that went to the lyrics.

There are like 3 just amazing bass lines. Seriously, the bass is like top shelf amazing.

Rage is reuniting and Wu Tang wants to tour with them; just like in the 90’s! :-)

I’m proud of my fellow “GenX” ers that knows what’s up! And raising Millennials that are just tapping into the greatness of RATM! Now let’s change the world in 2020!

Now from this same show, "Fistfulll of steel". And don't forget, "take the power back", this is a MUST listen.

Just like the books we had to read in school when this album came out, I appreciate these lyrics more and more as time passes. They seem even more relevant now.

I'm not sure if the audience was aware of how dope Morello's solo was....he went through levels upon levels of styles and sounds in a span of about a minute. Incredibly unique display

Was at that concert I was 15 and was an experience like no other I've had since.. Slipknot was the only other band that held that kinda power, you could feel the energy of the crowd I literally get goosebumps just thinking of it...

RAGE IS BACK TOGETHER AND TOURING IN 2020

The kids in that crowd are now around 50 years old...

This is a great example of what made Rage such an amazing band. There are so many elements of differing styles mixed in here. They have the lyrical qualities of Rap, some rhythmic bits of funk, the drive of hard alt-rock, and even a bit of punk in their outro. More importantly, their sound is genuinely live, rather than being the product of heavy studio production.

I was at that particular gig, Pinkpop in the Netherlands, will never forget this one, NEVER!

the final transition just gave me fucking chills, tons of energy irradiated in just like 30 seconds lol

Tom Morrello is the man. Led Audioslave musically and RATM . Saw him at a festival in May and it was fire.

I've always LOVED their track 'Maria' from the Battle of Los Angeles album. A little different than most of their songs, but just as powerful

I saw them live in 2000. Best god damn concert I've ever been to in my entire life!! They were never known to be chatty during their concerts, and the only thing any of them said was "this song is called A bullet to the head" and the crowd exploded! The audience was there to have a great time and we did so TOGETHER! The only word I can find that fits the feeling is SOLIDARITY! Everyone was having fun, taking care of each other, looking out for each other, helping each other. If you fell, you would immediately be picked up, if you looked out of breath, people would ask you if you were ok and if you needed help to get out. This concert was at the biggest music festival in Sweden at the time, Hultsfred, and I saw Slipknot the night before. It was so fierce I had to back off, but during this one, I never felt threatened. We were having our arms around each other's shoulders, jumping with pure joy! I cant even do the feeling justice...

That rug really tied the stage together, man.

This 1993 performance of Rage Against The Machine shook Pinkpop to its foundations with their classic 'Killing In The Name' & i was there. In that year, the KNMI (Dutch seismological institute) even measured a small earthquake in Landgraaf during the performance of that song. 70.000 people jumping to rage!

We used to play this one in my old band. By the end of the song, your fingers were falling off!

This was a live performance too. Their studio version of this track is a lot cleaner. But, you can see how much work they put into everything they do when you watch them perform live.

I'm jealous of you getting to hear this for the first time... I'd love to have that feeling again!

Pinkpop 1994, I was there. Amazing performance by RATM. The ground was shaking so hard , it was measured 1 on the Richter scale.

The arrangements are crazy! Changing times three times in less then ten bars, and just when you think you know where it is going they blow your mind! I remember concerts were insane. I was in the Marines at the time and they would be blaring in the gym, at the barracks! They had so much to say, and man they can play!

my favorite thing about these live audiences at rock/metal concerts is the lack of cellphones up in the air. instead of paying attention to their phone these people are dancing and paying attention to the performance.

Honestly man am amazed how you keep that upload schedule so consistently great channel

i saw them with their first reunion in 2008, it was the most amazing concert ive ever witnessed and i felt like i was 16 again. The fire from this band is just unstoppable. Peace out brother, love and new years wishes from Belgium.

ugh, that transition at 4:43 gets me every time. that has to be one of the greatest moments in musical history

This is one of my favorites. This time the bullet cold rocked ya A yellow ribbon instead of a swastika Nothin' proper about ya propaganda Fools follow rules when the set commands ya Said it was blue When ya blood was red That's how ya got a bullet blasted through ya head Blasted through ya head Blasted through ya head I give a shout out to the living dead Who stood and watched as the feds cold centralized So serene on the screen You were mesmerised Cellular phones soundin' a death tone Corporations cold Turn ya to stone before ya realise They load the clip in omnicolour Said they pack the 9, they fire it at prime time Sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz And mutha fuckas lost their minds Just victims of the in-house drive-by They say jump, you say how high Just victims of the in-house drive-by They say jump, you say how high Run it! Just victims of the in-house drive-by They say jump, you say how high Just victims of the in-house drive-by They say jump, you say how high Checka, checka, check it out They load the clip in omnicolour Said they pack the 9, they fire it at prime time Sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz And mutha fuckas lost their minds No escape from the mass mind rape Play it again jack and then rewind the tape And then play it again and again and again Until ya mind is locked in Believin' all the lies that they're tellin' ya Buyin' all the products that they're sellin' ya They say jump and ya say how high Ya brain-dead Ya gotta fuckin' bullet in ya head Just victims of the in-house drive-by They say jump, you say how high Just victims of the in-house drive-by They say jump, you say how high Uggh! Yeah! Yea! Ya standin' in line Believin' the lies Ya bowin' down to the flag Ya gotta bullet in ya head Ya standin' in line Believin' the lies Ya bowin' down to the flag Ya gotta bullet in ya head A bullet in ya head A bullet in ya head A bullet in ya head A bullet in ya head A bullet in ya head A bullet in ya head A bullet in ya head A bullet in ya head A bullet in ya head! A bullet in ya head! A bullet in ya head! A bullet in ya head! A bullet in ya head! A bullet in ya head! A bullet in ya head! Ya gotta bullet in ya fuckin' head! Yeah! Yeah!

AWWWWW it's on now🤘 That was me, 26 yrs ago!!!! Still rollin with the RATM🤘 Some of us been worshiping at the house of Rage longer than y'all been kicking😂😂😂 Where my ole ass 90s still fly as hell folks at??? Much ♥️from Bama 🙋 💕

Their the best band I've heard ! Been listening to them since the 90s!! Never be another band like rage,!! Simple as that!!!

Pearl jam performed at PinkPop in 1992. That's when Eddie climbed the scaffolding. Rage Against the Machine performed at PinkPop in 1993. RATM form in 1991, dropped their self titled Lp in 1992. It blew up with 8 big hits out of the 10 tracks. By the time they took the stage at PinkPop in 1993 their Lp had solidified them as Rap Metal Gods. My all time favorite band. That's why I know those years.

“Just victims of the in house drive by They say jump you say how high” All about mass media and corporations controlling news which at the time was all on TV (in house)

Tom Morello shredding with that shredded taco meat on his chest 😂😂

Amazing even live! Tom Morello's guitar is so creative!

I have now followed you through at least 8 RATM videos, and it reminds me of why I'd play some of the videos to my students... It's called a (re)education, and this band reached hundreds of thousands! I saw them play free at the protests against the Dems at the helLA Prez Convention in 2004; after they played to us, we broke down the fence separating us from the convention delegates, and the cops and MSM just about shit. Good times!

Next from Rage: People of the Sun. EPIC jam from the boys. Consider this an official (and respectful) request.

“Down Rodeo” can’t wait for you to hear this one! Love the reviews.

Rage Against the Machine - Sleep Now In The Fire During the firming (Directed by Michael Moore) they film at the New York Stock Exchanged and got it closed down and the police tried to stop them filming and they kept filming. I'm not sure if you will be able to react the the video without it getting blocked/copyright claimed because its the official music video but its an awesome video, check it out either way.

This is how we got down in the 90s as teens. What do kids do nowadays?

I'll be an old lady one day, still listening to it...

This is def one of their most hip hop based songs and its fire

Best track they ever made imo. So powerful, so much flow, the beat with this bass riff... The ending is classic screaming part... Just perfection.

Legendary performance. One of their bests for sure.

We need them so bad, NOW! 🔊

Awesome reaction, don't stop now.lol. You got to watch Fistful of Steel from the same show. So awesome. And also listen to Down Rodeo, also a dynamic song.

From the Uk and have listened to these since I was a kid! At 30 now and these are still the most relevant band on the planet today with whats going on in the world.

My life it has been destroyed without rage in my life!!!! I’m so glad I founded your channel!! I’m over the channels doing same bands!! Slipknot Metallica etc..

I was at this concert. 😂🤘🏼

Rage is coming out with a Reunion tour!

When I was in HS in the 90s, Rage Against the Machine was my favorite band. I saw them live several times but my favorite shows were with Wu-Tang Clan in 1997, and at Tibetan Freedom Festival in 99. They could lead a Revolution! You were ready to go to war after 20 minutes in the pit. At Tibetan it had been raining all day and the pit was a downhill mudslide and everyone was going apeshit. The ending to Bullet in the Head was always one of the best moments. Checkout Freedom, Bulls on Parade, Killing in the Name of, People of the Sun, Tire Me, Viet Now, basically their entire first Album and Evil Empire. Zack De La Rocha was big into Hardcore Punk and Hiphop. Tom Morello was big into Heavy Metal and Public Enemy and his mother was a hippie activist and his dad was either a Black Panther or some type of civil rights activist so politics, heavy rock music and rap were a big part of Rage Against the Machine.

I am envious of you just discovering life altering music that I grew up with. It's like discovering Robert De Niros pre-2000s movies for the first time

Awesome Jamal, thanks for doing a great reaction to this one! :D The intro bass riff sounds ol' school, reminds me of Cypress Hill

Seriously bro " renegades of funk ".... you'll love the funky beats

I watch your videos everyday. Your reactions to all this GREAT music are fantastic. And Rage ......nuff said!!!

morello has got to be in the top of the list of guitar innovators.............switching from rock, to funk, and then DJ scratchy, still amazing all these years later.....yeah, i'm kinda old........many love, much props

And this concert officially registered on the Richter scale as a mini earthquake

They are not just victims of the in house drive by. They are "just" victims of the in house drive by.

Great reaction vid man. Rage was a huge influence on me growing up. Love seeing people find them.

You're a great dude, fun to watch you dig these tunes

You’ll hurt yourself lifting to Rage. Know from experience, lol. Way to hype! Guerrilla Radio is my favorite Rage song let your ears be blessed.

Yo. They just announced they were getting back together for a 2020 tour. You gotta go bruh!

Nothing like being on the floor at a Rage concert. Saw them in 1999. My first concert. So great.

Are you kidding me!That solo from Tom Morello was CRAZY!!!I never heard him doing it like that on any of there studio albums

You gotta do "Down Rodeo" by Rage!

Miss them so much. They got banned from playing in some countries cause they said they could insight a riot..LOL..

Just got my Rage tickets for next year at MSG. Last time I saw them was 1997 when I was 17. I havent been this excited for a show in a long time!!!.

Bro you always review the best songs few people know about. Respect fr 💯

Two songs you definitely have to react to are arguably their best. Sleep now in the fire (official video) Renegades of Funk

I feel like if you do Renegades of Funk by Rage, you’ll lose your biscuits.

Brother, I'm an LA native like you, and i respect the fact that your a music lover and fucken comic book lover as well! Music is for the ppl.. RESPECT MY BOY!! 🙏

Yeah baby, I was at that very show, back in the day, standing in the audience, checking these guys out live. Already had the album then, and I was rocking out. RATM were Smokin'!

Rage Against the Machine was definitely prophesying for the year 2019

Check out krs one and Zack on lyricist lounge. Criminals in action

The soundtrack of my angry anarchist youth. Saw them live in Sweden back in 1997, awesome live band.

I just had a blast spending three hours watching you become a Rage fan! Loved it.

Time for (down rodeo or renegades of funk) bro! by RATM

I give a shout out to the living dead Who stood and watched as the feds cold centralized So serene on the screen You were mesmerized Cellular phones soundin' a death tone Corporations cold Turn ya to stone before ya realise They load the clip in omnicolour Said they pack the 9, they fire it at prime time Sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz And mutha fuckas lost their minds Just victims of the in-house drive-by They say jump, you say how high

Excellent vid man keep these coming! My favorite rage song 🤘 Audioslave for me is where it's at . Chris cannot be touched

That show was crazy or what?? EXCELLENT performance by an equally excellent band.

Now listen to their covers of "I'm housin'" "microphone fiend"

You should also do Ghost of Tom Joad With Zack singing, theres several versions but the one by RATM is best i think

Saw them live in late '92 at a tiny club with about 500 other Gen Xers. We didn't know what hit us. We tore that club down. The police showed up at the end, which was a mistake on their part. Fights, batons, pepper spray. What a powerful band! What an amazing time to be young and alive!

It’s crazy. This is 1993!!! No act like it today. Zach hands down, top 5 greatest rappers of all time.

Try mexican band Molotov, they have similar sound

Being brainwashed by commercials and brands and the “news”

90's kid here GEN X, back yard scraps, street scraps, mosh pits, insane concerts, thick skinned individuals ! that's how we rolled in the 90s ! Long live RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE !! 👊

I congratulate you for the diversity of music you analyze keep it up thanks from argentina

I was right there in the audience at the concert Pinkpop in Holland going nuts! It was insane. Before that I saw them also live in a smaller club in Amsterdam (the Melkweg): they absolutely destroyed it. I mean literally: it was so intense and everybody was on fire. They are still a tremendous inspiration.

I love the fact Tom Morello's guitar has "Arm the Armless."

'Without a face' so sick but no1 ever mentions it, great bassline, sinister hip hoppy vibe

Probably their best Live Concert ever filmed at Pinkpop/Netherlands ( Happy Birthday for now 50 Years.Oldest Festival in Europe)....at that time i first saw them Live...or better survived one of the best Moshpits in my whole Life....unforgettable!
