    If you want to learn more of the story of Pine Ridge and Indian Removal as a whole, Knowing Better has a great video on the subject. It's over 2 hours long, but it's well worth it. The story goes so much deeper than what was explained in this song, even with the commentary. I promise it's not wasted time. Rob, and everyone reading this, if you care about activism, or the themes presented in RATM's songs, at least check that one out.

      ​@@ivanheffner2587💯 agree. I'd go further and point to a couple of specific ones that Rob would probably be more interested in, but hopefully he'll see the list after he watches the Indian Removal video and decide to give those a shot. There's a lot of his own history that he may not know about on that channel.

    Rob, I have just discovered you, you have no idea how you touch my heart when you are discovering Rage Against the Machine, how you feel about them is incredibly honest and pure, just like they have always been! I am a Union member, an activist and have fought for fundamental human rights my whole life! As I go to a march, a rally, or an action to bring awareness, I listen to RATM to get my head in the game, one of your viewers has suggested you to listen to Take the Power Back, I would love to watch your reaction! I am a strong believer that we must All stand TOGETHER to make change in this country, and is the only way to take the power back! I have met Mary Morello, Tom’s Mother, I was able to shake her hand and thank her for her activism and for giving Tom to us! Tom has actually gone to various rally’s, and strikes to stand with Union workers, we all need to follow his example, and stand up like Rage has done for us so many times, they have set the bar very high but we can do it, like Tariq Trotter from the Roots says at the close of every Tonight Show episode “Get Involved” it’s what we need to do to Take The Power Back! Keep on listening to Rage, you’re on the right track!

When his people were free. And it is beautiful. Then Zack come in and he's like yo, "drop that!". Like snap back to reality brother, 'cause that's just not what's up right now.

    The intricacies of Rage Against the Machine go far beyond the lyrics. To this day I go back and hear some Rage tracks and I’m like, “was that part there 10 years ago, 20 years ago?” lol When I first heard Rage on the radio, it was edited and thought it was a cool jam. But I was into Hip Hop/Rap mostly and barely really getting into rock music. Mind you my older brother was into heavy metal so yeah I was about 5 when I heard Metallica and Black Sabbath but frightened by the posters, at first. Then I actually saw Rage live for their Evil Empire album debut and I was hooked! I went from a little thug in the streets of L.A. to being proud of who I was. People of The Sun was a game changer for me and I actually learned more about my people through RATM than any of my schooling growing up. That line in FREEDOM, “what does the billboard say? Come and play come and play! Forget about the movement!” had so much more meaning to me way after the release of that album. And I think that’s what resonates with a lot of people from today because we as people are still being forced to play along with someone else’s games and it makes us forget about who we are or where we come from. Another song similar to that is No Shelter which is one of top 10 favorite songs. (Doing a top 5 is extremely difficult if you’re a fan boy of Rage lol) I love how you focused more on the message on this track and I know for sure if you hear it again, you’ll feel what I’m getting at. Musically, unless you have perfect pitch and 100% focus, hearing the song once is enough. But damn, the louder I play it, the more I want! 🤣 Keep up the great reactions! 👏🏽 🔥 (I’ll keep future comments shorter) lol

    You’re right. It sounds like a live performance because the album was recorded as a live performance. It wasn’t recorded in isolated layers where the drums are laid down, then the guitars and vocals. The producer, GGGarth Richardson said he wanted to capture the band’s raw energy. He decided it was best to record it as a concert. Friends and family were even allowed in the studio for it. 🔥

    Love your videos, found em today and they brought a lot of the joy back from when I first started listening and decoding the lyrics bit by bit. Zach is the greatest lyricist of all time. I know the channel is about rock reactions but since you were unfamiliar with Zach you probably haven't heard his collaboration with KRS-One and the Last Emperor called CIA (Criminals In Action). It's not Rage levels of good, but you may enjoy hearing him rap in a more traditional sounding rap song. Also if you wanna see Tom Morello truly go off watch a live performance of the ghost of tom joad by Bruce Springsteen where he shows up as a special guest

    Fun fact: When recording their first album, producer Rick Rubin wanted to capture the energy of their live performances, so he had them record while playing together.

    It's funny u say it sounds like it's live because if I remember correctly when they recorded this 1st album they were all in the same room and pretty much laid the whole album down like that where they just played it out as opposed to everyone recording they're shit separately. God these guys were amazing!!

    Hey my man Rob, you did a reaction to Ren Hi Ren. You should do hunger next. That dude can rap his ass off. I gotta get your take on his stuff. Rage is our favorite band and I'm telling you Ren is right up there for me so think you are going to be shocked by how different all his songs are.

    How you have not reacted to 'Renegades of Funk' by now, is sincerely mind-boggling!
    It would behoove you to react to the official music video; if you consider yourself a fan, that is.

    Rage painted themselves into a corner with their name. Their name restricts them to raging in every song. They handled it wonderfully.

    Fun fact: Although RATM album cover of the guy on fire does look really cool, what’s even cooler is it’s a Buddhist monk in Saigon in 1963 who set himself on fire to protest the persecution of Buddhists in South Vietnam. Very bad ass and upon knowing that it was done in a protest by a political activist, it even more embodies what the band is all about

    I remember watching "Incident at Oglala" on campus when it came out, and this song reinforcing my understanding of those events.
    As a college sophomore, I was telling my Dad about the film & the injustice of Mr. Peltier's continued incarceration
    I love my Dad.
    He was like well who made that movie? What are their goals or agenda? A documentary just has facts in it but doesn't automatically equal factual reality.
    I was like DAD ARE YOU BEING SERIOUS RIGHT NOW? Like it doesn't take any agenda to see this as an affront to our humanity.
    I love my Dad.
    But he was wrong on this one.
    FREE LEONARD PELTIER!!!!!!!!!

    Hi Rob, I was around 20 when Rage Against The Machine came out. I’m in Australia btw and only just found your clip if you reacting to “Killing In The Name Of” & it was BRILLIANT to see your reaction which we ALL had when we first heard that song. It’s one of those “life changing” or “life affirming” songs. Every particle of it you feel in every cell of your body. Your reaction took me right back there! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I thought you might like this short of Rage playing live on the TV in England on the very proper tv channel the BBC, back in the 90’s. Somewhat reminiscent of when The Doors were asked to change the lyrics from Higher when they appeared live on an American tv show and Morrison ignored the directive.
