It can't be overstated how impactful Rage is, but REALLY was in the 90s. Now, it seems like every other day there is a massive protest and issues being brought to light and violence and all kinds of chaos at times. But back then when their music dropped it was very revolutionary, and provided a full on history lesson if you listened close to the lyrics. It's only sad how specifically relevant they still are today. And musically they are just true originals. Heavy rock with hip hop and funk. Everyone else I've heard try it has failed.
Single most important band of Gen X USA because of their audience demographic....they weren't the only band shouting about injustices, but they were the only ones (at first) celebrated by the children of the aggressors. 1000s of would be oppressors and complacents were educated and enlightenrd by this band. Check out Tom Morrello's acceptance speech at the rock and roll hall of fame, if you haven't already.....powerful stuff
Man I literally just stumbled across you 2 on a sports reaction and here we are binge watching your old vids. Excited to see what musical journey you've taken up to this point and in the future as well
This song is about the US Military Industrial Complex having immense power and control. How those in power will spend money on munitions, guns and war but stutter at spending the tiniest percent of that on food, clothes or anything else the less fortunate need. How politicians talk about family values (rally round the family) to get elected, but in office are more interested in sending young men and women off to War (pocket full of shells). The US has been involved in war and "police actions" in other countries in some form or another since the 50's. They spend more on munitions and the military then the next top 11 countries, combined.
Most Rage songs have very insightful lyrics, and most condemn oppression and injustice. I would recommend that you listen to their live 1993 performance of "Killing In The Name". This song condemns white supremacy and police brutality in the US and they mfing KILL it in their live 1993 performance of this song. EPIC! Other recommendations: - "Know Your Enemy" WITH lyrics (need the lyrics for that one) - "The Ghost of Tom Joad" WITH lyrics (need the lyrics for that one) - The official music video for "Guerilla Radio" - The official music video for "Sleep Now in the Fire" - "Renegades of Funk"
The song is about the struggle of native and indigenous peoples. Like myself, the beginning of the video where you see the crowd crouched down. That is a native dance. They rally around the family with a pocket full of shells means. Our people fighting with what little we have.
Its clear RATM, was ahead of their time,. Doing wierd cool sounds.. i hope u also check the,. Pink pop 93 Fistfull of steel Bullet in the head Bombtrack
(Stock market) bulls on (military) parade They have always been very open about these songs being political and they stand to the left(the clue in this video is the red flag on greyscale). Check out Zach de la rocha's interviews, or Tom Morrello's acceptance speech at the rock and roll hall of fame. And keep listening.
Well today's Eminem was fantastic (obviously), and as I like to say something positive on everything I watch, I will just say that VOB were fantastic covering RATM, and we haven't seen VOB for a while, so more of the ladies please! 😉
*9+* All day, every day. Yes, please do more RATM. I don't remember much RATM from the '90s. I think I remember this, 'Bulls on Parade'. RATM wasn't a thing for me. However, during lockdown, Yoyoka ① got me into RATM. Yoyoka's _Bulls on Parade - RATMe / Cover by Yoyoka, 10yo_ ua-cam.com/video/Tkw57uGnSrs/v-deo.html is joyous 😂 Best Wishes, Chaps. ☮ ① Yoyoka is a Japanese female drummer. She was added to DrummerWorld's 'Top 500 drummers' list at 11yo ! *I have no relationship with Yoyoka whatsoever.* She is just great fun to hear and watch playing drums, especially for songs with 'funk', eg. Jamiroquai or Silk Sonic. She's a big RATM fan (about 20 videos), though some are 'Drum Only' for musicians to make their own RATM covers.
Heavily political, neither right nor left, Rage make songs about standing up for the little guy. Some suggested tracks - Down Rodeo, Sleep Now In The Fire, No Shelter & their cover of Springsteen's Ghost Of Tom Joad.
BP1, you are in the vibe! Time for Korn, "Evolution", I PROMISE you will like it even though it is heavy-ish. It has your kind of driving beat and techno vibe. Chuey and Hank say hi back to "That Fucking Dog"!!!! Even though I think it was maybe B2's pooch. ??
@@lordlockdown64 Oh, LLJ, you silly beast! I suppose if you were one of BP2's fat prostitutes they probably ate Korn a time or 2. Korn is another acquired taste, I am hoping the BP's give them a chance. They are similar to Slipknot but different enough. I think with the techno vibe BP1 will survive it just fine.
@@chueysmama2622 Hahaha you have a great sense of humour, I know a little bit about Korn but agree with you that the BPs need to get some on the channel!
Hi there, I know there is one track that I really love by RATM, but I can’t remember which one it is. Personally this track (apart from the small guitar solo) isn’t for me, but I’m sure there will be lots that disagree. Totally agree there are similarities to Beastie Boys. Thanks for the upload ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Eminem's brilliant, but not everyone's cup of tea, I agree. I m sure the boys will have something to peak your interest this week, there's always an eclectic mix 😆
@@chueysmama2622 Well I've just had another listen and it's going down a bit better this time maybe it's one of those that need a few listens. I do like the rhythm section and the guitar work is great!
@@tundiel I quite liked todays episode of Eminem, so willing to see out the week! They do go from one extreme to another with their reactions, so it's always an interesting ride with the BPs.

Rage just gets you pumped! And they always have a brave message. Love them!💪
Love RATM! You have to listen to more of their songs but definitely need to watch the lyric videos.

Cool 😎 welcome aboard Sam and thanks for checking us out 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice reaction. I actually saw them back in like ‘93 and they, in fact, opened for Public Enemy.

I love Rage. Once I heard the mention of Public Enemy I subscribed. Perfect Comparison. Great reaction to the both of you guys, great content
Definitely do Wake Up, Testify, and Sleep Now In The Fire next.
You can’t go wrong with anything from them though. Enjoy!!
Do watch them perform live - Finsbury Park 2010.
You guys should look into the rage against the machine/x-factor saga

I recommend bombtrack by rage against the machine if you have time also darkness of greed by rage against the machine 😅

They are pretty clear about being on the left.
Gentlemen.. Try an album please!!! It doesn't all sound the same. This album for example!
@Lamar Sowell
Hi Lamar, thanks for the comment.
Did you miss putting the name of the Album as we don't see anything?
Cheers
@@BritPopsReact "Evil Empire" is the name of the album' gentlemen. Cheers.
Good stuff. 🤘🤘
These guys are so aggressively uncool. They are 100% torries.

Korn you say? is that something you eat? I don't think he's got over Slipknot yet!

Watching a Rage reaction video with pretty much no commentary on the message is….interesting.
If u had any idea how relevant this song is now to Americans it probably would mean more
🔥🤟😎🤟🔥
Not really my cuppa, but I'm sure loads will love it! I'm not doing too well lately with BP1s Eminem and now this one! It's very energetic though!
Welcome to my world Lord Lockdown, I guess it is my turn to shine!

@@lordlockdown64 It is an acquired taste, I didn't like Eminem at all at first listen. He is not a daily listen, but a good fall back!

Repetitive to get the point across
