"Was that man stabbin' his palm with the AUX cord?" I died.

"Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past." George Orwell “1984”

What I find amazing about RATM is how so much sound came out of three musicians and one little guy screaming his lungs out. And they are incredible live.

3:29 in Holland their concert registered 1.1 on the richter scale. They thought it was an earthquake but it was when they went into “Killing in the Name”

Tom Morello (the guitarist, you may have seen him in Ironman, as one of the terrorists) is amazing. All of their songs were recorded live, and all the sounds were made with guitar, drums, bass, vocals. So yeah, he was stabbing that aux cord into his hand to get them sounds. RATM drops bombs and nothin else. A legendary band. Fun note, Tom Morello apologized just in case it was their hip-hop/metal style that influenced Limp Byzkit. He felt bad about that.

"The war is right outside your door." More true now than ever.

I think somebody is a Rage fan!

Damn, I saw RATM live in STL in the mid 90's. They played a 2.5 hour set after Wu-Tang had to cancel. It was insane. You are a true to heart lover of great music.

“What the hell just happened?” Morello

used to listen to this while driving around the city looking for skateboarding spots with friends...this was 20 years ago. i miss those days so much. this gave me the feels.

Rage Against the Machine = Impact. Impact in your hears, impact the 90's scene, even on politics and social... God this band is so good, made an entire generation think twice about what they were seeing.

One of my wife and I's 1st dates was a Rage show in late '98. Yeah, she's a "keeper" 😎

- "Bombtrack" -"fistfull of steel" -"take tha power back" - "bullet in the head"

The lyrics, everything, I get chills every. Damn. Time.

“Wait. What just happened?” Just Tom Morello being casually awesome.

You gotta listen to “Take The Power Back” The bass line is funky af

Rage isnt rap/metal, they are the soundtrack of the revolution ✊

The hype meter would explode from the 1993 Pinkpop show. I'd recommend Bullet In The Head.

I was there and it was undoubtedly one of the best experiences of my life! It was a free 'comeback' concert in London after they made Xmas no. 1 in the UK as a protest to Simon Cowell's grip on the charts. Everybody there knew they were part of something special and the crowd was INTENSE as a result! ✊

Love how much you appreciate the energy. Rage doesn't just play it, they feel it. Amazed Zack never blew out his vocal chords. Dude goes all in on every song

"Wake Up!" "Down Rodeo" "Ghost of Tom Joad" Pretty much any RATM

Morello, the guy is so good at guitar that he doesn't even need one!

I grew up on this band. Their style was so amazing. They were one of my biggest influences as a teen and my parents had to endure such a rebellious kid who questions everything...

this crowd was bananas. i was lucky enough to see them once live in toronto, ont. canada. when they played "bulls on parade", a good thousand fans or so stormed the floor...the floor was jam packed and it looked like an ocean wave. it was an incredible sight. 🙂

It is hard to imagine that Rage’s first album dropped almost 30 years ago. I remember seeing the video for Freedom on MTV in 1993 when I was a freshman in high school. Back then I was into grunge like STP and Soundgarden and Dr. Dre & Snoop. Go figure. Anyway, I saw Rage live at Lollapalooza in 1996 and again with Wu-Tang in 1998. Rage live was like nothing else. Just pure adrenaline. So good. They were really my intro to rock music which started an obsession that still lives on. I hope it does the same for others. Peace.

I have to remember I’m old. So folks discovery of rage is gonna happen. They were my first concert! 1998! 🤗

The power of music. Saw these guys pull up in a van with a trailer at the Rock in tucson...1992.... And they Blew us away....with things people didnt talk about.....and it has never ever left me.

Having such a deep understanding of your amps and sound effects that you can understand and control how the feedback against your skin sounds is truly remarkable

Reading their lyrics while listening takes one's appreciation of their music to a whole other level!

Great live performance I’ve ever witness. Never knew 200,000 people could be in sink and share that much energy.

seeing these guys live was literally the greatest time of my life, the second they took stage the energy skyrocketed and and hour and a half later could not find anybody I came to the show with

Best live band of our generation. Brought energy like no one else. Wish everyone could experience them. Please come back!

Zach De La Rocha is Huey from the Boondocks, grown up and started a band.

man, zach's voice was sitting in this perfect place during this performance. A bit deeper than usual, but still absolutely ferocious.

I was at this show! One of the best nights of my life, I'm 54 and have seen 100's of concerts. But none better than this. Thanks.

This brother has so much respect and energy beyond words ❤️ I've been listening to them from the get.the crowd is so pumped if you look close ,it looks like a heart beat.they bring the house down everywhere anytime.why we love them, because they are the truth.i love all your reactions.

The wonderful thing about music is that, though it may seem foreign, you hear something that hooks you, because it is familiar. No matter our backgrounds, we have common threads that sew all our musical tastes together, and just reinforce the fact that we are closer than we think we are....embrace it, say hello to your neighbor. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY.

Yes, he was using the instrument cable against his hand. "Radar Love", by Golden Earing

“Bombtrack” for sure.

Something that is often overlooked with this video is that "Testify" was how they opened that particular concert. If you can, find that entire show and you'll be truly amazed at the energy levels because it gets better later in the show...

When Rage split up the drummer and guitarist joined Chris Cornell to make the band Audioslave, 2 of my favorite songs are “I Am the Highway”, and “Like A Stone”. Strongly recommend checking it those out, RIP Chris Cornell.

Commented on a previous video, but since this is a live version and you mentioned the atmosphere at the show. You should know.....They did shows with Wu-Tang. Let that sink in. Amazing.

They opened Lollapalooza one year and we had no idea what we were in for.(early 90'sish). They came out and handed our a$$es to us! So DAMN GOOD! Been a fan ever since! I certainly hope you got to see them on the reunion tour.

Just found your channel and Rage was MY band back in the 90’s and haven’t heard it in 25 years and have now watched every video of yours on Rage and LOVE your reaction !!!

Dude, that ending reaction is what you, you. Love your genuineness, the honesty, and your appreciation of new music. Perfect reaction, brotha! You are definitely in my top 3 reactors to watch and slowly creeping up to first. Much love! Keep up the great work!

It's sad that Rage isn't together anymore, or at least I don't believe they are, their sound was definitely revolutionary and new and unique and everything was done and executed with reason and purpose..glad you got to discover and experience Rage

One of my favorite bands of the 90s. Holds up well today.

Rage is Forever lasting i've bebé to a concerto here in my home land in Portugal and it was still to this day One off my favorit show......

"appriciate the ART of music..." hands up bro..the word at your shirt is suits for you..👏👏👏

Yes, he is indeed scratching with his guitar's jack.

I saw them with The Wu Tang Clan back in the 90’s awesome show!

Tom Morello, the guitarist, is a modern master of guitar effect sounds. He uses a lot of effect pedal and what he does with his guitar is crazy. You can also find him in Guitar Hero 3 as the first boss to defeat in riffs battle

Rage Against The Machine - Bullet In The Head - live 1993 Please!

Saw em 3 times back in the '90s, some of the most volatile gigs I've been to. Headlined an anti-nazi gig in Brixton and that went *off*.

Greatest live band on the planet! First show I ever went to as a kid was Rage and WuTang in ATL. Amazing!

I love what you said at the end there. I was watching tons of Joan Jett interviews and they kept on her in so many basically saying, 'You're so cool, can't I get you to trash these lame pop stars." and finally in one interview she says, "I respect all music makers." and I thought that's classy AF. You don't have to like it to respect people.

Yes! I’ve been waiting for this since Bulls on Parade. ✌🏼💟🎼

RATM is one of the most important rock bands of the last 40 years and are the basic equivalent of Public Enemy to rap music. It was a sad day when they broke up. Their entire debut album is EPIC. Renegades, their album of covers is EPIC. The middle two albums of Evil Empire and Battle of Los Angeles have some really good tunes on them too. No one brought it like they did and that is a fact.

I've started watching your videos the last few days as you've reacted to some of my favorite songs and bands. The whole reason I've watched so many is because of your comments at the end of this video.

I look forward to all of your reactions. You have great wisdom and knowledge base that lends itself to a great shared experience with the music. Synergy and metaphysical experience is what keeps me intrigued with your videos 🙌🏾

Fun fact: before moving to LA and getting into the music scene, guitarist Tom Morello graduated from Harvard with a degree in social studies.

RATM The MOST IMPORTANT Band in the last 30 Years! Glad to see them back in 2020!

Your observations are spot on. Really enjoy your videos. It’s all about the art of the music, and the chance to learn. Hell yes!

You honestly can’t go wrong with ANY Rage song. This band was my segue for listening to rap to listening to rock and metal. They’re just the perfect matrimony of 2 contrasting styles of music.

fun fact: the guitarist - Tom Morello went to harvard for a political science major, and he felt he can be mostly influential to change political scene by playing music, and because he started playing guitar late in life he would spend up to 18hrs a day practicing to make sure he is "caught up"

"Mass graves for the pump, and the price is set"

The best part of this channel is getting to hear great music and see someone appreciate it from the first time.

Seeing this particular video of yours gave me the most chills! I was there! It was the 1st time since the 90s since they had performed ANYWHERE! WE ALL WENT CRAZY!!! THEYRE JUST SO LEGENDARY!!!!

YOU SEE THEM JUMPIN! LOL 🔥🔥🔥 Oh yeah, pay attention to the music in The Matrix -- Rage of course!

Denzel Curry’s “Bulls On Parade” cover

Thank you for doing this. I am grateful for all the actual effort that goes into making these videos.

I remember this concert. Was absolutely amazing so much energy.

“Man up their looking like Calin Coppernick with that hair”. Dead. p.s. Rage coming back in 2020!

"Bombtrack" as others have suggested is one where Zack comes out flowing so hard that it puts the vast majority of rappers to shame. Add to that the actual content of his bars and its honestly life changing. Obviously you've become a fan but that's not one to sleep on.

Live performances of this song always give me goosebumps, especially with the air raid sirens. They opened this way both times I saw them. Nights I will never forget, but will hopefully repeat!

I really appreciate that you're willing to listen to genres that you didn't grow up with, Jamel. A lot of people would never do that and it's their loss!

Check out RATM Sleep now in the fire 🔥🔥🔥

Here's something you may want to check out, it's pretty amazing! About four years ago a group of people wanted The Foo Fighters to perform in their small city of Cesena, Italy. They gathered 1000 musicians; singers, drummers and guitarists and "begged" the Foo Fighters to come by simultaneously playing the Foo Fighters hit "Learn To Fly". The video went viral, and three months later the Foo Fighters did play in Cesena. Since then the musicians, now known as the "Rockin1000" perform around the world. Here's the video that started in all (Note: after they play the organizer makes a rather long speech, you can stop it at 4:05) "Learn to Fly - Foo Fighters Rockin'1000 Official Video" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gNWqdNCJ1JjGdHk.html 7 minutes ago

Thanks for taking us along on your journey. I’m enjoying the trip. Your a good man and your doing a good job. Peace

Yes!! Lucky enough to see them live once and it was the most intense crowd!!

There's almost NOTHING like a Rage crowd.

Audioslave cochise bro these band members with the late great Chris Cornell singing

I saw RATM live in Finland in 2000, my backbag was open - didn't notice that until after the concert. All of my stuff were all over the field. Didn't even care, found my wallet within 50 yards where I started to watch the concert. I jumped around for 2 hours and it was the best live show I've ever been to.

Was there for this performance. Was waiting 20 years to see them. Twice in 2 days, It was perfect!

Rage Against the Machine "Wake Up" please, please , asap!!!!!!

VIETNOW- LIVE AT WOODSTOCK 1999 RATM ITS THEIR BEST PERFORMANCE EVER AND BEST OF THEIR LIVE SONGS EVER

It’s really awesome that you have an open mind and can appreciate music that you otherwise wouldn’t listen to!

Your explanaition of your musical background and tastes make your channel so more relevant and likeable. Thanks for the content. Love it!

even if it's just on your own time, Live a L'Olympia Dream Brother by Jeff Buckley. one of the greats. he hits an unbelievable note. he was friends with Chris Cornell, and has been praised by everyone from his own heroes Robert Plant and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin to Brad Pitt.

Best video, Greetings from Italy

Been there done that and you really don't have to move , the whole crowd moves like a human ocean. Fkn awsome and quite the memories.

I never get tired of seeing someone watching rage for the first time. Priceless

Rage Against the Machine .Fistful of Steel

You should definitely check out more tool and as a side note the lead singer of tool was on the song ( Know your enemy) with RTAM

Great way to put it. Which is why I like your reactions. Here to learn and understand more. Great stuff

I love your videos.......It is so nice to see someone outside of our world see the POWER of RAGE

A moment of silence for this man discovering RATM this late ...

George Orwell "Who controls the past controls the future, who controls the future controls the past."

Seeing that mass of humanity moving as one entity to music is one of the most beautiful sights on earth.

I grew up with Rage a a big influence and the highlight of my life was performing with my own band at the 2008 Big Day Out Festival that was headlined by the reformed Rage Against the Machine. Thanks you for sharing your authentic reaction to this band brother! It’s been super real seeing how deeply you feel it!!
