What happened is that the British public got tired of whoever winning the xfactor inevitably getting to the Xmas number one. So this whole thing of getting this song to number one instead began, and actually achieved knocking off whoever won the show that year to the number two spot. In thanks, the band came over to the UK and performed a free show for being true to the spirit of the song.
@@Aulern yeah that lol, before the xfactor, which idea Mr. Cowell stole from Simon Fuller (pop idol) , mr Cowells contribution to music was as follows....Mr. Blobby, Zig and Zag dem girls.... that's it, so how can he even begin to know anything about talent or music ?...oh yeah he doesn't lol
This song was written nearly 28 years ago about white supremacy, institutional racism and corrupt police in the wake of the brutal beating of Rodney King and subsequent police acquittal. Feels like it could have been written yesterday.
I’d say it’d be partially misdirected. I don’t think it’s a race issue at all. It’s a government and class issue. The police are corrupt no doubt but the media would have us focus on the racial aspect to keep people divided instead of united against the corrupt state.
Freddy Jones Who said racism doesn’t exist? Everyone is a little racist. It’s human nature. All humans inherently fear what they don’t understand. My point is that there isn’t some systematic oppression solely on the basis of race, it’s so much more than that. Race is used as a tool to keep us divided so we’re too busy fighting amongst ourselves to see the true oppression is those with power and money vs the rest of us. They literally run the fucking system. They’ve imprisoned everyone in different ways. The key is to keep us divided politically, racially, through religion etc. Don’t play their game man. I have no hatred for you. As far as I’m concerned we’re all brothers and sisters of one race the HUMAN race.
I love seeing the reactions of people hearing this song for the first time. They quickly get into the bass rhythm, head nodding...then those first lyrics hit and the head nodding stops as they listen...then BOOM! They are into it. It makes me happy seeing stuff like this.
those were the original lyrics before their label made them change it (RATM being censored, i know, wtf) so (sometimes) they still do it this way during live shows
Hahaha, I remember. Wish they'd go around playing for the unabashedly left Dem. candidate(s) in 2020, warm up the crowds (even though they don't really that much warming up at the genuine candidate's rallies).
Were they rioting for, or against the Democrats? Because democrats used the KKK to enforce brutal terrorism on newly freed blacks, ie republican voters. Also democrat politicians enforced lynch laws and Jim Crow. So, if they were riled up against the republicans, that's hilarious.
Naive and overly-sheltered 16 year old me appreciated this song but had NO IDEA what it really was all about way back when. 20+ years later I appreciate it differently.
thats because u probably NEVER experienced racism or seen, heard, or expected racism yourself or around ur people. if so, u would be tagged as "criminal" at 16yrs old. at 16 i was involved with the a communist party in NYC, and making plans, at 18 members of the "American Communists" invited me to their conference, but after reading much US history i reject them. RATM was my main inspiration to write my discussions on injustice based in history and todays black and latino lives under the eye of the "law."
PS. i also created my own socialist group, at age 20, good 45 strong to start. but weird things started to happen, we took as a warning, and one by one the group disintegrate, just just stop being active. I also met with two Cuban couple, whom i became friends, and after few talks and hang out, they said they liked what i wrote, and invited me o speak with the Cuban American Communist party. i met a few of them, all Cubans, but after the weird things started to happen they just disappeared. At the end i end up alone, and looking behind my shoulder. I no longer are involved in any political group. I fear i have become a coward. or simply tired.
Rage Against the machine is an anti-political/Government band that stands up for human rights and against oppression! The believed that voices in numbers are heard and not bowing down the government injustices. Their name Rage against the machine "The Machine" being government. They have to be if not the best Band on the planet to me. Their messages are powerful. Songs like "The Ghost of Tom Joad" , "No Shelter" , "Bulls on Parade" and "Born of a broken man" have a serious impact to those whom are poor and mistreated not only by societies elite but from government entities that oppress people around the globe! Greatest band ever with a message that is felt to the core!
I just hate that they put Che Guevara up as an icon. My family was personally affected by Cuban policies back in the 1970’s. Not good people. But I get where RATM is coming from. They were my go to band in the early 90’s when i wanted to listen to something to get stress out.
Couldn't have said it better myself ray. There will never be a more influential band. I grew up on ratm and i doubt we will ever see another band like them.
The Ghost of Tom Joad is written and performed by Bruce Springsteen whom I categorize the same as you do RATM but also on so many other levels. Give the version of him and Tom Morello performing live a listen, it's great.
My ass they're just commies that dont know what they saying, well at least they figth against racism but they're still dumb but they're music is fucking good in that part they're genius!
Just want to let you know, Man... I will be sixty three in October and I am (obviously) an old white guy and I love what you are doing. Please keep it up! Keep ALL of our minds WIDE open. :)
This song didn’t need a protest or a riot this shit has happen back when la was on fire 🔥 and even before that fuck the kkk and fuck racist cops 🚓 of all color FUCK THE SYSTEM
You losers ruin a good song lol. The protests are the new sheep on this generation, they hear someone say something and think its truth rather than educate themselves just for the sake of 'looking good' You ain't no true rebels.
Zack de la Rocha is the lead singer and spits bars for real. When you react, you should definitely read the lyrics. Shit will blow ya mind. Boom. Rage for life bro
Me and my boy used to listen to RATM on his way to little league games. His coach was always like..."Man, your dude is always fired up for games!". I'm like...yeah I know ;-)
make sure to get studio audio version or even a lyric video - the live stuff is great for energy but the quality of the studio stuff is better to really appreciate the music imo
i know right? The breakdown towards the end when he says "And if the vibe was suicide then you would push the button, but if you bowing down, THEN LET ME DO THE CUTTING!" is definitely mosh worthy.
WELCOME bro. You are leveling up. This channel is so fun man, because it's rare I get to hear people's first reactions to this music like 20, 25 years later. I'll be the first to admit I'm not well-versed on rap and there's probably a lot I could like if someone would just show me the way but I have a tremendous amount of respect for someone who can listen to something they've never heard without being judgmental (that's a problem a lot of rock fans have unfortunately). KEEP GOING
@@dorkwell that's true, even more at a age where you get recommended artists left and right. About the emo phase of hip hop, the beats are getting harder and harder and the lyrics too. I líke that
GrinchLord To my surprise, Genius made this article about the punk/rock influences in today's rap: genius.com/a/misery-business-how-gen-z-rappers-are-reinventing-the-emo-pop-punk-influences-of-their-childhood?
Ice cube "do ya thang". His whole album raw footage is great. Newer guy, NF is good. He make real life music. The whole UGK "underground kings album". Hope you enjoy. That's just a touch of some good rap. This shit they play now days needs to die.
My generation X was extremely spoiled: we came after Lenon and Hendrix, we listened to our parents and grandparents albums from the 30s-70s, we were born into funk and the rise of metal, we lived through the most creative decade of music genres in the 80s, saw the rise of old school hip-hop, and we rocked the 90s. We had a great ride.
They really did have something to say when the tune was re-released a few years ago at Christmas as a 'f**k you're to the manufactured music industry (it was up against the XFactor winners single). It went to Christmas No1 here in the UK charts and they did the whole unedited version LIVE (much to the BBCs horror!!).... Brilliant!!!
That performance at the BBC studios was amazing. When Zach spat 'fuck you I won't do what you tell me' at the top of his lungs you could almost see the old boys spitting their tea. Fuckin awesome.
Their eponymous album still one of my top 5, me and my mate drove 150 miles from Wales to Heathrow en route to Turkey at 4am back in the 90’s, we was both falling asleep so we just banged Rage in the tape deck and rocked out on the M4, WAKE UP!!!!!!
This is great. Reminds me of back when I was in the Army in the 80's, some of us were listening Metallica, Faith No More, even country music, whatever. A lot of guys were into different types of rap, or other styles. But the best part was that we were all cool with each other. We'd go to each others barracks rooms and jam on what the other guys were into for a bit. We gave each other crap, or we'd admit that we liked it, or whatever. Color didn't matter at bit. We were in the same place together. We were all respectful, and cool with each other. Damn. I miss that.
lol lol I like the Air Force. I think their promotion system is much better. The army has a habit of slapping some rank on anyone which creates more ridiculous bullshit
Thanks, I want to join the Air force as a pilot, but a lot of people always think that they are wimps (which is not true). In Canada if you want to be a military pilot, the only way is Air Force, if I were an American, however, I would join Navy to be a pilot, and maybe Marines. P.S, I love the new RCAF uniform.
A simple but powerful message, delivered like a gut punch. I can't say I'd listen to RATM on the regular for pleasure, but if I were driving & this came on I'd definitely turn it up & step on the gas.
You've already heard from the guitarist in past videos. He later went on to be in Audioslave with the late Chris Cornell. For more from Rage, I'd go with Fistful of Steel or Know Your Enemy.
This album (self titled) is one of the best albums of all time, very unique in its time, all the tracks are fire from beginning to end, very iconic and influential. Some of my other favorites from this album are "Know Your Enemy", "Wake Up" (he turned the power to the have nots, and then came the shot... whatdoi-whatdoi-what do I gotta do to wake you up, to shake the structure up), and "Freedom", but they are all good. Hell, for something different and fun react to the whole album :)
You can't just say this album. Evil Empire and Battle of Los Angeles are just as good, if not better. Renegades even has some fire tracks, like Maggie's Farm and I'm Housin. Rage Against the Machine are just an awesome band.
I was a teenager when this came out. We loved it, it was angry, it was loud. I didn't appreciate the politics back then as much but I've loved them ever since. I was lucky enough to finally see them a few years back here in New Zealand. Still full of power and passion.
I loved your expression during this video. The most intense concert I ever attended ESPECIALLY in the pit was at a Rage show. I wish this band would get back together. Love your vids bro.
I had to subscribe because your reactions to some of my favorite music gets me pumped up. You hearing some of them for the first time makes me want to just vibe out and find new music.
Love the reaction videos. Always think it's great to see somebody Branch out step outside of the box that people are normally in and enjoy other types of music.
He's talking about the Album Renegades, that was their last album and it's a cover album. But if you like them saying some real shit, every other album has got you. The first album, Rage Against The Machine.
Great song, good message. But one of the weaker rap oriented RATM songs. Check out Bulls on Parade, Freedom, Take the Power Back, People of the Sun, Bullet in the Head, Wake Up, etc
Preston, You are a Star! You just made my day. I loved watching you react to this Beast of a song!... I laughed out loud at least 4 times...don’t know who you are or what made me click (besides RageAM) but so glad I did! And of course I subscribed. Can’t wait to watch the nest one... Brilliant.
Would have to say that Bodycount is a better rap-metal band tbh but can see the argument that could be made...just never consider Zac to be rapping, rather inflected singing
I love this song because it's a beautiful example of not needing to say much to say a lot. There's like three lines of lyrics in the whole song, yet you know exactly what he's talking about. Fucking brilliant.
the british public got this to number 1 in the christmas charts a few years back, to piss off simon cowell , it was immense !!
Can you please elaborate? Did Simon said something?
Yeah what happened?
What happened is that the British public got tired of whoever winning the xfactor inevitably getting to the Xmas number one. So this whole thing of getting this song to number one instead began, and actually achieved knocking off whoever won the show that year to the number two spot.

It beat X Factor winner Joe McElderry's The Climb for the no1 at Christmas
25 years later Rage still gives me goosebumps
listen to audrey123talks cover of this song lol 2 Japanese kids
This is one of the best songs fucking ever, and one of the most badass guitar riffs ever.
I don't get into Rage until about 99 and I feel like I wasted 6 years of my life.
People who keep suggesting other Rage songs for new people, they are Legit wrong, because this is THE rage song.
but you where born in 2019?
This song was written nearly 28 years ago about white supremacy, institutional racism and corrupt police in the wake of the brutal beating of Rodney King and subsequent police acquittal. Feels like it could have been written yesterday.
Why? It's a pure fucking lie according to the statistics. You've been played.
I’d say it’d be partially misdirected. I don’t think it’s a race issue at all. It’s a government and class issue. The police are corrupt no doubt but the media would have us focus on the racial aspect to keep people divided instead of united against the corrupt state.

@Freddy Jones They are back together!
I think I'm addicted to black guy reaction videos.
Randy Beers Same lol. It's so cool seeing people react to good songs for the first time
This is the second black person I've seen who's reacting to metal. Im so glad it's happening. EMBRACE THE METAL!!!!!!
Lol same
@@ericoliver1603 I think WeabooReacts started the trend of reacting to metal. (He's black too, so that's a plus).
That's random, Randy.
I love seeing the reactions of people hearing this song for the first time. They quickly get into the bass rhythm, head nodding...then those first lyrics hit and the head nodding stops as they listen...then BOOM! They are into it. It makes me happy seeing stuff like this.
As you might imagine it's even more satisfying to doing the same now given how of the moment RATM is right now.
I'm an old granny with 3 grandchildren and I love this group it's so right what happened in 2021 don't do what they tell me
This current generation really could use some RATM in their daily lives.
I really do hope they come to Indonesia. The government here won't be too happy with what they usually flash in the background on live shows tho
Dam right. 👍
...calling in from quarantine where the government wants us to go back to work before the virus is contained. Fuck them.
I'm 17 and I know this couldn't be any more true. Great fucking band.
Abso-fucking-lutely
Fun fact: Tom Morello, the guitar player, went to Harvard
And majored in political science. God, I love smart people.
yup. got his masters in Poly Sci. and the singer got his PH.D in Anthropology
Graduated with Honors as well.
Even Funner Fact: Tom Morello went to High School with Adam Jones, the guitarist from Tool.
Funnest fact of all: for a short while, he worked as a stripper to make ends meet after graduating and moving to LA.
i love when he switched the lyrics up live and said "SOME OF THOSE THAT HOLD OFFICE , ARE THE SAME THAT BURN CROSSES!
thats arguably a better lyric lol
Let's look a trump. It seems to fit
those were the original lyrics before their label made them change it (RATM being censored, i know, wtf) so (sometimes) they still do it this way during live shows
pablo gonzalez LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. you sound dumb as shit.
thats cold af.
RATM showed up and played this song in front of the Democratic National Convention center in 2000, it almost immediately started a riot lmao
Hahaha, I remember. Wish they'd go around playing for the unabashedly left Dem. candidate(s) in 2020, warm up the crowds (even though they don't really that much warming up at the genuine candidate's rallies).
@@yuppy5956 I never joke about RATM.
I was there!!.
Were they rioting for, or against the Democrats? Because democrats used the KKK to enforce brutal terrorism on newly freed blacks, ie republican voters. Also democrat politicians enforced lynch laws and Jim Crow. So, if they were riled up against the republicans, that's hilarious.
The free Rage concert in London (2010) Is one of the best live shows of all time.
in their live version, the second verse is "some of those who burned crosses, are the same that hold office"
Naive and overly-sheltered 16 year old me appreciated this song but had NO IDEA what it really was all about way back when. 20+ years later I appreciate it differently.
isn't that the truth eh?
Very yes

Nothing New under The Sun. We still need to fight against opression like any time before

imo one of the top 5 rappers. eventhou i don't listen to hip hop. hehe
Lyrics to Bullet in the Head are banging. Deep as fuck
He always reminds me of an angry nine year old boy
Joe Cunningham indeed ✊✊✊
Rage against the machine - born without a face
Rage against the machine:wake up.
My daughter was singing this song at 3 - but I told her it was 'Forget you, I won't do what you tell me!' 😂
Great video, man
Hahaha sooner or later ur daughter will find out what the lyrics actually is.
My 9 year old daughter was singing Bulls on Parade last night... It was one of my proudest moments as a dad.
Stop oppressing your kid 😬

You should definitely check out Rage against the Machine - Know Your Enemy
Ya beat me to it!
*YES!!!*
*KNOW YOUR EMEMY!!*
and - *BOMBTRACK!*
Lol, 57 likes in 51 minutes. Yeah I think he should. Plus it features Maynard.
make sure to get studio audio version or even a lyric video - the live stuff is great for energy but the quality of the studio stuff is better to really appreciate the music imo
The guitar in that song is nuts
I love watching people discover different stuff!!! Tom Morello (guitarist) is a BEAST...and RAM is FUNKY!!
Doland Bland Tom Morello is amazing 🙌🙌 he makes incredible sounds!
Tom is fuckin great.. not many people nowadays experiment with different ways to play guitar... almost like a modern day Jimmy
Morello is a guitar god.
Wonder where sad sacs where in 90-93 ....great era of music .....at least they discovered ....RAGE and other great Bands
He went through a few emotions there confused to worried to happy. That track is timeless.
This whole album..... Absolutely timeless.
Everyone should listen to this song at least 1 time. It's a very powerful song
Lotta ppl can't handle that kind of powerful expressions. That's pretty much what being a conservative is
Rage Against the Machine - Fistful of Steel
Simple Beetz second that!!
That song is killer
Another great one
i know right? The breakdown towards the end when he says "And if the vibe was suicide then you would push the button, but if you bowing down, THEN LET ME DO THE CUTTING!" is definitely mosh worthy.
Let's do this!
Listen to "know you enemy".
One of the greatest guitarist of his generation, Tom Morello!
this whole record was flawless, one of the best
RATM; the perfect mix between hip hop and metal. Next suggestion: Rage against the machine - Bullet in the head
Athresz this song. Perfectly describes our country right now
W
Athresz why not suggest something out of Animals? since you have it as your profile picture. It's one of the most underrated albums of all time tbh.
@@Bigbrotherthunder no, just no.
indeed sir
Lead guitar...the one and only Tom Morello👍😎👍
also rhythm guitar... actually the only guitar
Wilson il Perso lol yeah he’s the only guitarist. But also the DJ
lol yes
We used to do a tribute band, really well, and his approach is like non other.
Morello is a guitar god
I had the privilege of seeing Rage live several times and the literal rage that comes off the band is stunning! So good.
Kay Banks me too! They sound the same better even not many can say that.
Seen these guys live at the Glasgow barrowlands in the early 90's.... they where Fucking amazing, they nearly caused a riot :-)
I still haven't recovered from that gig! It's still to be beaten

Know your enemy by rage against the machine
I adore all you young black men who are so open to this music. I’m a 40-year-old white woman who’s loved this since high school. Welcome to my world!
My generation X was extremely spoiled: we came after Lenon and Hendrix, we listened to our parents and grandparents albums from the 30s-70s, we were born into funk and the rise of metal, we lived through the most creative decade of music genres in the 80s, saw the rise of old school hip-hop, and we rocked the 90s. We had a great ride.
Rage Against the Machine-Bulls on Parade or Guerilla Radio
I think he would get a kick out of him doing turntable scratches on his guitar and the riffs are legendary.
Ran Some Guerilla Radio

AlwaysSomething hell yeah on Judgement Night!
Hoooold on bruuuuh!!!!!! Epic and Bring the Noise for sure!!
Judgement Night soundtrack was a great album
One of the greatest drop D riffs of all time.
This is straight out of the nineties and the message still is resounding, that’s the sad part... it’s heartbreaking 🤐🤐🤐
This album (self titled) is one of the best albums of all time, very unique in its time, all the tracks are fire from beginning to end, very iconic and influential. Some of my other favorites from this album are "Know Your Enemy", "Wake Up" (he turned the power to the have nots, and then came the shot... whatdoi-whatdoi-what do I gotta do to wake you up, to shake the structure up), and "Freedom", but they are all good. Hell, for something different and fun react to the whole album :)
You can't just say this album. Evil Empire and Battle of Los Angeles are just as good, if not better. Renegades even has some fire tracks, like Maggie's Farm and I'm Housin. Rage Against the Machine are just an awesome band.
Their whole debut album is sick bra just listen to the whole damn thing.
R Dubya true!!
“FUCK YOU I WON’T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME.”
Man their first two albums cross color lines
I was a teenager when this came out. We loved it, it was angry, it was loud. I didn't appreciate the politics back then as much but I've loved them ever since. I was lucky enough to finally see them a few years back here in New Zealand. Still full of power and passion.
I loved your expression during this video. The most intense concert I ever attended ESPECIALLY in the pit was at a Rage show. I wish this band would get back together. Love your vids bro.
Down - Bury me in smoke
yessirrr
Most definitely Bury Me in Smoke. Losing All is probably my favorite NOLA tune though. Fuck yeah, Down !!!!
Stained glass cross is sick too
I got on the Rage bandwagon way late. Enjoy your journey into all the RATM!!
Legendary group
Your reaction was amazing to watch! This album changed my life the first time I heard it.
dont listen to rage so much in my old age but its something i think every kid should hear and like at a certain point in their lives
Rage Against the Machine-Know your enemy!!! pls
Ooooohhh you're gonna love these guys!
Man I saw these guys play 7 times back in the day. Glad you liked this.
I had to subscribe because your reactions to some of my favorite music gets me pumped up. You hearing some of them for the first time makes me want to just vibe out and find new music.
bro gotta do rage against the machine - bulls on parade
Best band of the 90’s hands down!! My favorite band ever! We need RAGE today more than ever.
Ramroop Neil Pantera
Yesssiiiirdd
Alice in Chains= The most underrated band of the 90s. Out of the other grunge bands that is
Them and Tool for sure.
All the band's mentioned above are the reason the 90s was the best era in music imo.
The look on your face the entire video is priceless!
Love the reaction videos. Always think it's great to see somebody Branch out step outside of the box that people are normally in and enjoy other types of music.
If you’ll listen to the live version, the 2nd verse changes to “some of those that work forces, are the same that hold office”
Oooofff. This real ass song. It's too real now.
It was just as real when they wrote it. We (collectively) just weren't paying attention.
You guys need to listen to pistol grip pump and renegades of funk by them.
He's talking about the Album Renegades, that was their last album and it's a cover album.
But if you like them saying some real shit, every other album has got you.
The first album, Rage Against The Machine.
Joe Tolar wow I never knew that was a cover album. Who originally did renegades of funk?
+P - Mac Renegades of Funk, according to Wikipedia it was written and released by Afrika Bambata in 1983.
Renegades is a very good album.
Miss the 90's and songs that were standing for something. One of the best songs from that time and this is great reaction!
Man it's fun looking at someone experiences this music or the first time, when I was just brought up listened to.
I'VE SO HAPPY I REQUESTED THIS AND I AM SO FUCKING HAPPY
Renea Marie Higgs I also requested this lol
Me too!
Ah, my second favorite Morello solo, first being Like a Stone with Audioslave.
Love your reactions. Ty for your time and work
I love watching you react to these songs I’ve known and loved for a long time.
Great song, good message. But one of the weaker rap oriented RATM songs. Check out Bulls on Parade, Freedom, Take the Power Back, People of the Sun, Bullet in the Head, Wake Up, etc
Mike Rothschild totally agree!
Agreed great message way to much repetition
Dustin Moore I'm fairly certain the point of the repetition is to create emphasis.
I concur.
One of the greatest lines ever in a song "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me" with feeling.
"Take the Power back" or "Know You Enemy" By rage against the machine
love this whole series you do, look forward to new ones
It's like finding gold years later. Band was very underrated
Nostalgia... Back in time... Soo good
Músics off today dont compare to This.. 90 th Forever
Love this entire album! Bullet in the head is AMAZING too!
I'm so happy I saw this group LIVE baby!!! They rock!!
One of the best bands of all time, i love how their lyrics make you stop and think.They are brilliant and one of a kind.
Now that's what I'm talking about, that man has conviction in his voice!
Rage Against The Machine - Know Your Enemy
Maynard James Keenan from Tool is featured in it!
love to see your reaction - the look on your face when he starts the 'fuck you' is exactly like mine all those years back, keep it up KINGKTF
Oh man I love this! This is one song that gets the angst out of me!!! Thanks man. I love your reactions!!!
Preston, You are a Star! You just made my day. I loved watching you react to this Beast of a song!... I laughed out loud at least 4 times...don’t know who you are or what made me click (besides RageAM) but so glad I did!
And of course I subscribed. Can’t wait to watch the nest one... Brilliant.
You love Rap and Heavy Metal, RATM is the best Rap-Metal band ever. Bulls on Parade, Renegades of Funk, Testify are songs to listen to
Would have to say that Bodycount is a better rap-metal band tbh but can see the argument that could be made...just never consider Zac to be rapping, rather inflected singing
(hed) P.E. = best rap metal IMHO RATM close 2nd.
I bet you love the soundtrack of "Judgement Night " if you don't know it (you probably do) great rock/metal working with great rap.
Yeah, that soundtrack is great. I also like the one for Spawn, though it's not as much rap/metal
Takes me back 20 years to the club's watching them live. Oh the memories 😁😁😁😁😁😁
Love the reaction...they are a great band!!!...
Rage is really great. Almost every song is a banger and they're all about fighting the system.
Also you should do Welcome To The Family by Watsky
Dude's jammin Sanctuary from Kingdom Hearts 2 in the intro, I love it
All time favorite song on the album.
I love this song because it's a beautiful example of not needing to say much to say a lot. There's like three lines of lyrics in the whole song, yet you know exactly what he's talking about. Fucking brilliant.
Finally! You have to do Know Your Enemy or Bulls on Parade for the next RATM reaction!
RATM - How I Could Just Kill A Man (cover of Cypress Hill)
Man this is so cool to see people from diffremt cultures embracing other types of music 👌
Best concert ever. Broke my tailbone half way thru the show and it was worth it!
