At a certain point, you can't take on a system outside that system. The work they did exposing the system brought an awareness that continues to grow to this day.

@RAWMUSICTV support the war in Iraq do ya? Supported the slavery in cuba before Fidel? Afghanistan war? Supported apartheid in SA? Agaisnt gay rights? Support the "war on drugs"? Do you support nafta? Israel? Private prisons?
Why didn't you explain fully about the burning man? June 11, 1963 a Buddhist monk set himself on fire in protest of the South Vietnamese persecution of Buddhists, which was supported by the United States. The image is one of the most renowned of the Vietnam War, that and the one named "Napalm Girl."
You really should have given a nod to Morello's radically political side projects The Nightwatchman and The Street Sweeper Social Club (with Boots Riley).
This "Purity Control" of Rage Against the Machine is very unfair and irrational. Most mainstream metal bands make essentially the same critiques as Rage. True, those others are not Socialists, but they pose themselves as being against the system as well. Megadeth signed up with the major label Capitol Records immediately after releasing their first album, for example. And there's pictures of Mustaine and Friedman wearing t-shirts with the symbol of Anarchy.
True Anarchy is extreme right wing. Rational right-wingers understand that anarchy can become tyranny when a Collective mob rules decides to infringe on the Individual. Therefore they sacrifice absolute anarchy for Capitalism as a compromise. The fairest system humans can possibly come up with. Each Individual chooses their own "system" by spending the fruits of their labor at Business that has similar values, lowest price, best options, whatever. Deciding what job and wages they want, instead of government destroying that union between Employer and Employee. Every dollar spent is like a vote. But Consumers and markets are the "checks and balances"... If anything, your Mustaine example shows Mustaine is not the thirstiest Capitalist in the room. He would had made way more money if he sold the typical popular product (Liberalism), like Morello did. He instead marketed to a smaller Consumer base and was satisfied with his lower earning potential. But Morello ended up being the better and more viscous Capitalist. He sold a product (socialism) he really didn't believe in, but understood that Consumer base was bigger and more impressionable. Morello has made five times what the more ethical Mustaine has earned. Even with Mustaine having dozens of better songs. Morello ripped off his Consumer and they still worship him. Mustaine's ego probably hates himself knowing he would have had more glory if he had just sung conformist jingles like Morello has all these years. But that's the Darwinian state of Capitalism and compromising profits because of principles. Morello just has no principles, which according to Socialists makes him a stereotypical Capitalist. The irony.

@@deathbyslipknot who doesn’t ?! But you can criticize something you are apart of like human race or your family and point out what needs to be changed that IS intelligent, your statement was not
Having been a longtime part of my local punk/hardcore scene, I’d probably have strong opinions early on with their path, but as I get older, I see their use of the system as their way to criticize that same system as incredibly clever and in line with their subtle sense of humor. It proves the point that many people including those in charge simply aren’t listening. But, by increasing the likelihood of their music reaching the masses to spread their message to those that hear more than just a sweet Morello riff or the predominantly tamer radio hits, deeper tracks like “Freedom,” “Know Your Enemy,” and “Wind Below” can be quite transformative for active listeners. As for the financial side of it all, I can see the clear argument, but I know that with their most recent tour, they made large donations to local nonprofits in those cities coming straight out of the ticket sales. Sidenote: I would’ve loved to hear mentions of Zack’s pre-rage hardcore punk bands, Hardstance and in particular, Inside Out. While they only had a handful of songs, Inside Out is a legendary band in their own right and was actually the source for Rage’s name. Do yourself a favor and give “No Spiritual Surrender” a listen if you’ve never heard it.
I loved this band back in high school circa ‘98. It’s a shame that Tom is such an arrogant ass. He’s a great guitarist but he’s way too full of himself.

I and countless others were horrificly scammed by RATM's first producer Garth Richardson at a "school" created by him (one young man died via poor choices made in trying to pay the school's prices which bordered on extortion), so RATM turning out to be fake is no surprise.
@@deathbyslipknot people can give away all they money they ever could and it would still never change the selfish choices they made, nor the consequences that took place as a result.
Made great, timeless music. Can't take that away. But to then them hypocrites is an understatement. You're a pos for being able to pay your rent on the backs of migrant workers but Zach has his house in the LA hills adorned with Renaissance art. Morello as well. The best music cones from the worst of humanity... do as I say, not as I do. That's the RATM legacy. Andilove that they're more exposed for the hypocrites that they are, everyday.
Good synopsis of RATM. All these wannabe revolutionaries like to throw shade at others and organaize in collectives because, frankly, they are kind of lacking on an individual level.
Their music is dated. It’s just so 90s sounding. And the fact that they give credence to a novel that advocates for violent revolution is sickening. Repressive tolerance is exactly what the nazis used. Communism is not that different in their oppression of dissenting voices and violence. And don’t tell me it’s about socialism because no one can actually tell me what socialism is
I dunno - that first album will always be an all-time favorite for me. As for “being in the machine,” even Public Enemy had a label put their albums out, along with NWA et cetera. I don’t think the message was ever truly felt to be more important than the music and, anyway, it should come to no one’s surprise when performers behave performatively. I mean, David Bowie wasn’t actually an alien either.
My biggest problem with RATM right from the first time I heard them: "America sucks, but we'll be glad to take as many American dollars from your youth as possible." Most RATM fans are classic midwits.
De La Rocha and Morello are absolutely still political. Sometimes people just need a break man. Zac has been seen going to Pro-Palestine protests and he and Morello donated around 475,000 to reproductive rights groups. I don't know what people expect from political activists, they have to make a living to object to the fact that they have to do that! I agree that they should donate more money but they really haven't abandoned their cause or "became the machine".
I think they are and we’re genuine! Yeah they were on a major label but that’s where you get the biggest platform, why not make a major label pay to market your message?! Use them, use their money. They put a song on the Godzilla soundtrack which was about criticizing movies and specifically criticized Godzilla the movie. Sure they could have tried to do it all on their own on an indie label and none of us would have ever have heard of them and they would have reached like 3 people.

From the website: "A band well known for our fierce opposition to the U.S. war machine, white supremacy and exploitation". This is explicit in their music. They've never claimed to be anti-capitalist. Probably the most misunderstood political band in music history.

Acting like they're all out of touch rockstars like Tom Morello hasn't been playing the literal same amp and guitars for the entirety of his career is genuinely hilarious. Good work on the CIA propaganda.
Many music artists in the American counter culture of the 60s came from privileged upper class backgrounds. It's easy to take a stand against the Vietnam War when you know you'll never have to serve and put your life on the line. Trust fund hippies then, trust fund punks now. So stunning and brave to take a stand against the "man" when you're born with a silver spoon in your mouth.
I'd be curious to hear your opinion on what this band should have done instead of adding a message they clearly felt passionate about in their music? How else were they supposed to get their message out?
For all those people who say that they are now the machine and that they are "hypocrites" for keeping the royalties that this system leaves, they swam alongside the machine to give that message to the people Because we accept that we cannot change a system that has been in use for more than 100 years but expose the injustice it brings, so they are not hypocrites even if they or we do not we wanted We all live in this great system that uses damn money to live so they will take their share of their great work, it does not make them hypocrites but people cannot be pleased
You do realize that all of the people who generally push for socialism are not the working class. They are rich. Look at Bernie sanders, aoc and Noam Chomsky. Socialism is more profitable than capitalism
OK, I gotta know. Is it true that Zack and Chris were friends? I read that somewhere and the thought of it makes me feel better about liking both RATM and Audioslave.
Their profit was earned through their years of practicing and experimentation. All artists should express their feelings and thoughts, this is just some after thought out fake argument to gain views on the back of RATM!
@@Philip_Taylor my point is I don't care. I won't listen to Gary Glitter (pedo) and lost prophets (mega pedo) but otherwise I don't care. Their music and first few albums slap hard and that's all I care about

Their is politics in every breath you take whether you like it or know it. They spoke out on the crisis affecting the human condition.
@@obligatedobservation5878 I'd rather not have a band beat me over the head with that every second of a song.
@@Stefan979-they’re not beating you over the head, tho. They’re a political band… That’s like telling Woody Guthrie to quit preaching. lol. They aren’t seeking anyone out is my point.
Please Do the Story of Soundgarden Next
......AND THEN THEY DISAPPEARED RIGHT WHEN WE NEEDED THEM MOST
They didn’t disappear. They just do their activism from Twitter like real commies.
Original artwork for their debut album can't be shown? Really? A simple Google search brings it up in 5 seconds.
It would get the video pulled down by the UA-cam censorship bots.
You have no listening comprehension
@@minttjulep My meaning was that it's idiotic not to show it when anyone can find it in seconds.

I and countless others were horrificly scammed by RATM's first producer Garth Richardson at a "school" created by him (one young man died via poor choices made in trying to pay the school's prices which bordered on extortion), so RATM turning out to be fake is no surprise.
They're not fake. Having money in a capitalist society is not immoral especially considering how much money they've given away.
@@deathbyslipknot people can give away all they money they ever could and it would still never change the selfish choices they made, nor the consequences that took place as a result.
@@41illusion what selfish choices?
@@deathbyslipknot it doesn't matter, provided said choices are genuinely selfish. Selfishness is selfishness, period.
@@41illusion what are you even talking about at this point?
Made great, timeless music. Can't take that away. But to then them hypocrites is an understatement. You're a pos for being able to pay your rent on the backs of migrant workers but Zach has his house in the LA hills adorned with Renaissance art. Morello as well. The best music cones from the worst of humanity... do as I say, not as I do. That's the RATM legacy. Andilove that they're more exposed for the hypocrites that they are, everyday.
Communism is when no money
Good synopsis of RATM. All these wannabe revolutionaries like to throw shade at others and organaize in collectives because, frankly, they are kind of lacking on an individual level.
Their music is dated. It’s just so 90s sounding. And the fact that they give credence to a novel that advocates for violent revolution is sickening. Repressive tolerance is exactly what the nazis used. Communism is not that different in their oppression of dissenting voices and violence.
And don’t tell me it’s about socialism because no one can actually tell me what socialism is
I dunno - that first album will always be an all-time favorite for me. As for “being in the machine,” even Public Enemy had a label put their albums out, along with NWA et cetera. I don’t think the message was ever truly felt to be more important than the music and, anyway, it should come to no one’s surprise when performers behave performatively. I mean, David Bowie wasn’t actually an alien either.
My biggest problem with RATM right from the first time I heard them: "America sucks, but we'll be glad to take as many American dollars from your youth as possible." Most RATM fans are classic midwits.
De La Rocha and Morello are absolutely still political. Sometimes people just need a break man. Zac has been seen going to Pro-Palestine protests and he and Morello donated around 475,000 to reproductive rights groups. I don't know what people expect from political activists, they have to make a living to object to the fact that they have to do that! I agree that they should donate more money but they really haven't abandoned their cause or "became the machine".
Shoulda named the band - condescending commies.
We need a Dethklok documentary!
YESSS
wonder how many dislikes this got cause its patently untrue
No mention of Prophets of Rage?
Great video
Now that left wing politics are trendy everyone’s a revolutionary
god I wish this were true, mfer we're living under one party rule next year what are you talking about
@@ShadowTheHedgehog003 Lol fr. Young people are lurching right. We're doomed and this mf thinks "left wing" politics are popular.
I think they are and we’re genuine! Yeah they were on a major label but that’s where you get the biggest platform, why not make a major label pay to market your message?! Use them, use their money. They put a song on the Godzilla soundtrack which was about criticizing movies and specifically criticized Godzilla the movie. Sure they could have tried to do it all on their own on an indie label and none of us would have ever have heard of them and they would have reached like 3 people.
Type' O Negative in next? 🎉
Rage is the shit, you're trippin'🤦🏻♂️😂🤘🏻

They fucking suck
This video is literally doing the "We should improve society somewhat." "Yet you participate in society. Curious! I am very intelligent." meme.
It's not though.
Ah, yes, because Harvard-educated rockstars are the modern equivalent of medival serfs toiling in the dirt! It’s literally the same thing!
@@mushyroom9569 you're doing the meme too
@@EmSee1223 No, I am not. But thank you, now anyone who might have thought that the meme might have some slight relevance can see that you only brought it up because you lack even a surface-level understanding of it.
@@RAWMUSICTV it is.
From the website: "A band well known for our fierce opposition to the U.S. war machine, white supremacy and exploitation". This is explicit in their music. They've never claimed to be anti-capitalist. Probably the most misunderstood political band in music history.
They've literally written songs that are directly in opposition to it, and criticizing capitalism.
@RAWMUSICTV There are many different forms of capitalism. It's the exploitation inherent in the form of capitalism that has developed in the U.S.
@@RAWMUSICTVI am not anti-capitalist. I've been to 3rd world countries, I know capital is necessary for populations to grow and prosper and I believe that can happen without the exploitation of human labor.

I never could get into them. He sounds too much like Elmer Fudd to me.
Acting like they're all out of touch rockstars like Tom Morello hasn't been playing the literal same amp and guitars for the entirety of his career is genuinely hilarious. Good work on the CIA propaganda.

Many music artists in the American counter culture of the 60s came from privileged upper class backgrounds. It's easy to take a stand against the Vietnam War when you know you'll never have to serve and put your life on the line. Trust fund hippies then, trust fund punks now. So stunning and brave to take a stand against the "man" when you're born with a silver spoon in your mouth.
I'd be curious to hear your opinion on what this band should have done instead of adding a message they clearly felt passionate about in their music? How else were they supposed to get their message out?
Not sign to a major commercial label. Charities manage to spread messages just fine.
They’re as bad as televangelists
@@RAWMUSICTV Ah, so they should have stayed poor and played basements forever. Your videos are terrible, bro. How shameful.

For all those people who say that they are now the machine and that they are "hypocrites" for keeping the royalties that this system leaves, they swam alongside the machine to give that message to the people Because we accept that we cannot change a system that has been in use for more than 100 years but expose the injustice it brings, so they are not hypocrites even if they or we do not we wanted We all live in this great system that uses damn money to live so they will take their share of their great work, it does not make them hypocrites but people cannot be pleased
You do realize that all of the people who generally push for socialism are not the working class. They are rich. Look at Bernie sanders, aoc and Noam Chomsky. Socialism is more profitable than capitalism
That bands been nothing but the laughing stock of the music industry for years.
Oh no, the poor music industry lmao

Are you gonna make a video of GNR or Nirvana next?
no we dont need this shit...you have youtube and search for this "shitillity"! ,😋😋😋
OK, I gotta know. Is it true that Zack and Chris were friends? I read that somewhere and the thought of it makes me feel better about liking both RATM and Audioslave.
no. Ni siquiera fue a su funeral.
Their profit was earned through their years of practicing and experimentation. All artists should express their feelings and thoughts, this is just some after thought out fake argument to gain views on the back of RATM!
So you then sell t-shirts...?
Great band that made great music, don't care about 'selling out' bla bla bla
It's not that they sold out, it's that they were always hypocrites.
@@Philip_Taylor my point is I don't care. I won't listen to Gary Glitter (pedo) and lost prophets (mega pedo) but otherwise I don't care. Their music and first few albums slap hard and that's all I care about

ignorants. Nobody lives thanks to capitalism. All people live thanks to their own efforts in any economic production system. Capitalism is not the things, it is just one of many ways of producing them (corporatism, Keynesianism, socialism...) the ignorance of defenders of this system is a serious thing.
I don't read answers.
Smoke a little meth buddy you’ll feel much better
I always really disliked these guys, even though the music could be catchy in a way. I'll watch this anyhow, screw it.
