Anyone who says Rage is of the machine, never understood what they were saying in the first place. Their stance is clear, consistent, and unwavering. Still to this day.
With the exception of their ticket prices, their ticket prices were straight up elitist when they came here so I boycotted the concert I was waiting for, yeah I'm not spending 350 on a single ticket to a concert, that's the price of 3 normal floor "seats" tickets... but I get it they probably weren't making good money in the 90s like musicians do now, so they cashed in on the fame they acrued over the last 30 years... and good for them, I just could never justify spending that much even on my favorite musicians, which I only pay about 80-120 (canadian) to see.
My Oakland (ended up getting cancelled due to Zach’s injury) were just $140 (including fees and tax). They even said that they sold a limited number of their tickets at market value (which was very very high) and donated every penny of those sales to local charities of the cities where the concerts were held at. I hope they end up touring again or at least drop another album.
@anthonyvalenzuela3905 those ticket weren't at market value, this is why I boycotted the concert in my hometown... what they did was, to "prevent" people buying tickets to jack up the prices for resale they just did it themselves, then donated the money to the local charities and food bank... worse things could have been done with the money, but this ARTIFICIALLY increased the price by up to 150%, depending on the city.... and the scalpers STILL bought the tickets for up to 600 dollars each (USD) and resold them for up to 1000 dollars each (USD)... This is why a lot of rage against the machine fans accused them of selling out for that tour. This said it was to combat scalpers but in actuality they just set the price out of reach out mist of their fan, but not any of the scalpers who can afford to buy them, and sit on them until people get desperate enough to pay whatever price is being charged for them.
Since their signing to a major label, they have been accused of being part of the machine. But their lyrics are mostly talking about government, not the major music labels. I think it has been pretty clear that they are willing to use those labels to push out their message out to as a large of an audience as possible - because they believe in their message.
The Clash back in the late 70's into the 80's were the same way. They saw the label as a necessary evil to speak against oppression around the world by corrupt governments and the intertwined system of abuses.
The thing that a lot of younger people don’t realize is back in the early 90’s you HAD to have a label to get your music out. There was no internet, social media or SoundCloud. The original lyric in Killing in the Name was , “ some of those who hold office” The record executives wouldn’t touch it. Even the might Rage had to bend a little to be heard.
It was nearly impossible for a band to be heard widely without being on a major record label pre-internet. There were a few small labels, like Discord and Epitaph, but they had a hard time competing with major labels for shelf space, so their bands mostly still got word-of-mouth exposure, and no radio airplay.
“Paul Ryan’s love of Rage Against the Machine is amusing, because he is the embodiment of the machine that our music has been raging against for two decades. Charles Manson loved the Beatles but didn’t understand them. Governor Chris Christie loves Bruce Springsteen but doesn’t understand him. And Paul Ryan is clueless about his favorite band, Rage Against the Machine.” - Tom Morello
Basically, these people never understood the lyrics and are mad about it now. Rage has always been a leftist (not Democrat)band. Apparently these bozos were raging against the washing machine or something because the lyrics eluded them. RATM never changed, they just never got it to begin with.
Rage Against The Machine has always been VERY political and never compromised from their values and message. To this day all of the members do on-the-ground activism for labor strikes and other protests that they care about. A lot of people cared a lot more about their sound than their message in the end, which is why some people think they're "part of the machine" now. It's a pretty dumb thing to say to anyone who knows anything about the band other than the top 5 hits.
Can't speak for everyone, but me and all of my friends grew up and learned more about society and politics. Rage might believe what they write about. If that's true, they are spreading some pretty evil stuff that would end up going against their message.
@@Loser_Alter_Egolol get your money back! They’re the soundtrack to the EZLN. Calling them evil is calling the Zapatistas and Rojava evil. What do you know about Anarchism?
Interesting, ive listened to rage a lot back in the day, but I just realized that when they start with "I've got no patience now", its Maynard James Keenan from Tool doing the vocals there.
This is one of my favorites by them, the sound those guys produced can't be replicated. For their time to this was dope, they were actually a few years ahead of their time. People credit Korn and Limp Bizkit for the rock/rap sound of the 90s. Rage said hold my government hatred lol
I grew up on Rage. I was reading Thoreau and Emmerson (If you like Rage, check them out...old folks) in high school in the 90s and then I found Rage. They are in no small part responsible for my worldview to this day.
Rage is still Rage. Band went their separate ways to expand on styles and subject matter. Tom Morello, Brad Wilk and Tim Commerford were all in Prophets of Rage and Audioslave over the years. Zach de la Rocha took awhile away from the band before they reunited. Don't know much about why they broke up, just glad they are working together again.
Not true, those comments are from those who don't like Rage and or are against the youth discovering this band. America has always tried to throw shade on ANYONE who opposes the HAVES in favor of the HAVENOTS and make the system HISTORY OF THIS RACIST SOCIETY look bad. The members of Rage are all in their 50's now and they are indeed well off, but don't get it twisted they still support their original message 30 years ago and I appreciate reactors who are young like you who are discovering this band. The greatest band ever and finally earning it's place in the rock and roll hall of fame this November 3 ✊🏽
Whoever is saying that they've "become the machine" is a fuckin dope. Same people who think capitalism is when someone has money. As usual, mad at the wrong people about the wrong things. Anyway, great reaction bro, hope you continue to get into Rage and enjoy.
“Something must be done about vengeance a badge and a gun” GUILTY ALL COUNTS God speed George🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 His chant at the end hits hard. Zack hammers it home!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Tom Morello redefined what it was like to play guitar. He basically scratches on it like a DJ does on a record or soundboard. That whole "I got no patience now" section is sung by Maynard James Keenan from TOOL btw that man can hit some high notes using a record breaking sustained scream.
Duane! What a surprise! So I just started watching you for reacting to my beloved Dimash, and then I get a bell for this? Rage is one of my most favorite bands and I love this song! One of my faves is Maggie's Farm. Haven't listened to many other singers since I discovered Dimash, though. Kind of destroyed other singers for me ! Lol! Love this band, though. You should try Sublime, too, if you haven't already. Santeria is one of my faves! But, more Dimash, please! ❤
You should check out what Zack does with Run the Jewels "Ju$T" or "Close Your Eyes and Count to F#ck" both bangers or this other thing he did One Day As A Lion "Wild International" or "CIA" byhim KRS1 and Last Emperor.
Rage real! Never sought fame. Gotta see their very first performances when teens. They'd play for crowds these exact songs. Over time have perfected the sound they knew they would accomplish. Their hearts were full force from their very beginnings.❤🔴 Their 2022 concert in Raleigh N. Carolina is absolutely great..gotta watch!!💥
their message hasn't changed, but the fact that they have been successful on a major label has opened them up to criticisms of hypocrisy: you rail against big business but you signed with epic records. However, their FIRST record came out on epic, so I don't see why they should be accused of having "changed over the years". And if you want to get a message out, what's the point of putting out a record that no one will hear. It's like a tree falling in the forest. Another thing to keep in mind was that in 1992, you didn't have the internet or social media to get your message out, you needed a record label!
Rage has aged like fine wine. They still believe what they said in 1992. But, their audience aged (bought a house, car, made babies, mortgage, etc.) and aged out of RATM's message. So it is not RATM. The band is actually MORE relevant now than 1992 (or 1930s Germany). These guys are artists and poets. Know that.
It’s such an amazing picture, AOT is probably my favorite anime I’ve watched so far, just recently got into anime in the last year as I started doing anime reactions on my channel www.youtube.com/@duanedoesanime
Tool's guitarist Adam Jones grew up together with Tom Morello - and Tom's Mum was one of his teachers! So that's how they met Maynard. However it was Perry Farrell (Jane's Addiction) who was supposed to sing on this, but on the day of recording they couldn't find him, so asked Maynard to do it instead. And the rest, as they say, is history!
i am not with their politics at all but thats the great thing about METAL!!!! conservitive, liberal, black or white or from mars? we ALL GET TOGETHER FOR FUCKING METAL!!!!! merano is a fucking beast!!! they actually put a disclaimer i believe on their 2nd album that all guitar tracks were not digitally altered? how good do you have to be to have to put that on a CD????
@jamesoblivion well, I guess if you're a left wing lunatic, their message probably wouldn't bother you if you looked into some of the stuff they support. But if you're willing to think, I'd recommend starting with the recognized "controversial takes." Then keep digging.
I consider Rage one of the greatest bands of all time of any genre. Massive fan for over 30 years, but when they went on tour and I had to spend $600 for nosebleed seats, I began to question whether or not they are still raging against the machine.
Anyone who says Rage is of the machine, never understood what they were saying in the first place. Their stance is clear, consistent, and unwavering. Still to this day.

Conservatives cry when they finally read the lyrics after growing up bumping RATM. Can't deal with being everything RATM stands against.
People that complain about their message never understood their message. They haven't changed at all.

Rage are still against the machine. The people who think they have ‘flipped’ are the ones who weren’t paying attention when Rage first came out.
I saw Rage play back in ‘97 in the general population yard of an old penitentiary. Still one of the most badass concerts I’ve ever seen.

Everyone gives Killing in the Name and Bulls on Parade all the attention, but this song and Down Rodeo are personally my favs.
I like guerilla radio cos it was in a tony hawk game
What better place than here what better time than now!
All Hell can't stop us now!
Man, They are still Rage Against the Machine!
Yes deep lyrics absolutely amazing great reaction thanku so much love an God bless always from Cyprus x

Hopped in the comments to point this out. That scream is unmistakable.
"What ? The "land of the free" ?
Whoever told you that is your ennemy."
They're definitely not with the machine. The people saying that are mostly just rightwingers who never understood their messages in the first place.
Loved me some Rage back in the day!!
Just one of the best songs...ever.

Welcome to IT. Tell a friend. RAGE ON!
Early 90’s was awesome! 👍🏻
Do Rage Against The Machine - “wake up”!! It’s one of their best songs! Great reaction!
Saw them for $12 in '91. Tickets for a reunion show just before covid hit $400...Rage Against The Ticket Master....
My favorite Rage song!!!
I'm so happy NEW people are finding RAGE. They were no the message then and it's no different now. LOVE IT.

They stand exactly where they stood. They donated that machine money to help women in Wisconsin when they overturned RoeVWade.
Anybody who said RATM is now with the machine is lying through his or her teeth. What a clownish remark that is.

How long until Florida tries to ban this song?
It's still very RELEVANT but this was in 92
Yeeaahh...next could be ' without face ' or ' darkness of greed ' ..?

The machine is capitalism, along with nationalism and other systems of oppression. Idk what makes them a sellout.
When Zack repeats a line, you best listen up. I hate that is is still relavent.
Is this really a thing? Are you just catching up now????
Has anyone ever told you that sometimes you look like Obama
Oh yeah I’ve heard it a lot 😂
Band is broken up - nothing about their politics now -- decade or more ago
Great sound. Used to love them. Then I realized they Rage For the Machine. Can't stand most of their music now.
What machine are they raging for? Because that sounds like a pretty ignorant take, on its face.
