![Rage Against The Machine - LIVE at PinkPop [ REACTION ] The Best Thing I Ever Seen!!! Its Lit!! 🔥🔥🔥](/img/n.gif)
The line “They don’t gotta burn the books, they just remove them” (second verse) was super-prophetic back in the ‘90s. Because here in 2024 America, that’s exactly what’s happening.
True. It is a shameful act. Absolute fascism.
Facts!
Sad thing is it's happened many times through history and the result is never good for the proletariat. Yet here we are letting the ruling class withhold the knowledge while we watch it happen.
100%
That's why you see the exact same demographic removing the books talking shit about this band nowadays too. Don't like being called out by Ivy League and angry Lib types
Yeah, making the guitar solo sound like a DJ scratching was definitely Tom Morello's intention. He did a lot of crazy things with his guitar sound that no one else has ever done, and got super creative with it. There's a live performance video for their song "Testify" where you can actually see him pull the amp plug out of his guitar and play a rhythmic riff by pressing the bare plug into the palm of his hand, "playing" the electronic buzz. People have played guitars in all kinds of weird and wonderful ways - playing it with a violin bow, plucking the strings with their teeth, picking the strings above the neck, etc. - and, yet, Tom still managed to invent new ways to play the instrument that were WAY outside the box. I mean, in that video I'm talking about, he's playing the guitar riff without even using the guitar; he's just using the cord. Dude's a genius, fr fr.
This song is our reality today.
This band was 20 years early for their time
When Tom Morello is doing the scratching with his guitar, notice what the letters on his guitar say... "ARM THE HOMELESS."
You are triping😂😂😂
He isn't tripping. Tom Morello has used the arm the homeless guitar for a loooong time.

Rage Against the Machine was metal's Public Enemy
Perfect comparison. Anarcho-Communist Public Enemy is a very apt description.
Its insane to see what I was raised on is still relevant today Zack is a prophet ...TIMELESS
The dude was instantly hooked!!! When Zack started spittin’ his whole face changed. LYRICS you NEED lyrics. A lot of the political references are specific to America, so Brits don’t get it sometimes.
Rally round the family with a pocket full of shells” he is criticizing the right wings proclivity for touting family values while fueling the military industrial complex with trillions of dollars while children and families go hungry.
Very true. Weird though since it is the left that has been the primary supporter of the military industrial complex, not the right. The vast majority of the USA's military efforts/wars have been under Democrat control.
Naw, US govt in general. RATM was never about political party...until they were and screwed their whole anti-govt message.
@@jnovak1278 ohh? How so?
Yes.. I love these guys but I just don’t understand why “ reactors” don’t pull up the lyrics. It’s frustrating when they ( reactors in general) try to guess what they’re saying and most of the time get it wrong. It would be so much more impactful if they could read exactly what they’re saying. It isn’t hard to find lyrics… I just don’t get it.
In a song with so many great lines, one bit that always stands out to me is right after he says, "What we don't know keeps the contracts alive and movin' / They don't gotta burn the books, they just remove 'em," when he finishes the line with , "while arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells." While the hook of the song is about how the politicians pretend to be all about family values ("they rally 'round the family"), and the beginning of the bit I'm talking about says what they're actually doing (making secret deals and controlling the information we receive), that last bit of the line points to their true motives: Buying weapons and putting people in jail (particularly young black men, which was a subject being discussed in America a lot at the time, especially since this was all around the time of the Rodney King beating and the LA riots following it).
I grew up as a fan of early hip-hop, punk, and heavy metal and RATM brought all of those elements together for me. They were the best of all those worlds: heavy instruments, rap flows, and a real social message.
'What we don't know keeps the contracts alive and movin' - Arm sales to Israel and the silence of the crimes they do with them.
'They don't gotta burn the books, they just remove 'em' - Referring to Teddy Katz's master thesis on the massacre of Tantura. The thesis was removed from Haifa University to keep the history secret.
'"while arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells." - America has arm warehouses all over the world. But its biggest one, by far, is in Iisrael. And it does get filled as quick as Israeli cells, stuff full of Palestinians
"they rally 'round the family" - The IDF did rally around the families with a pocketful of shells, in Tantura. Then shot them all.
Whats happened before, will happen again - The genocide is playing right now, on social media.
Great comment. I've always been puzzled by the line "they rally round the family." Thanks for helping me out. The song as a whole is a puzzle, but I think I got it. The first thing you think of is the running of the bulls, but that's just to draw you in. The bulls he's talking about are "market bulls," which is a phrase used for those who chase profits upward. This is a song about the military-industrial-complex and profits at any cost. Market bulls that make money off of war.
Rage's Down Rodeo will be an interesting one to react to. 1st verse alone will leave you backing up just to see if he said what he said. RATM were cold asf and a breath of fresh air.
We have a reaction to Down Rodeo on our channel (I think that was the previous RATM song we reacted to)
@@RNDReacts Of course he is rapping. It`s hard to believe any one would comment other wise.

This music was made by revolutionaries for revolutionaries. There is no dictionary for the lessons the masked pass on. If you were someone who actually opposed the system, you would be out there protesting, and if you were out there protesting you would know, "Bulls on Parade" is protest slang for cops in riot gear. This band is legend for how deeply they bought into revolutionary culture.
This is one of the few songs that can get me pumped no matter WHAT mood I'm in ❤
Tom Morello is scratching. He’s just using a guitar, instead of turntables. With tables you move the record up for one sound, and down for another sound, and you use the fader to turn the sound off and on. It’s called “transforming” in scratch. He is doing the same thing. He is moving his hand up and down the strings and using a switch on the guitar to turn the sound on and off.
“Rally around the family, pocket full of shells” is talking about how political warmongers pretend to have family values, but they propagate and fund wars that kill families in other countries.
I’d highly recommend “The Ghost of Tom Joad” by Rage Against the Machine. The lyrics video.
Tom Joad is originally a Bruce Springsteen song, referencing the character in The Grapes of Wrath. Also highly recommend it and all of Renegades. That album is all covers and it’s a window into what moved/inspired Rage.
Story for you guys:
Back in 2000 (I was 20 then - m from Germany) we went again to Rock am Ring, HUGE outdoor festival at a legendary famous german racetrack (some say the NORDSCHLEIFE is the most iconic piece of track in the world), a group of like 15 people camping out for the three days with lots of beer and barbecue..legendary.
Attendance was more than 100.000 people and the main stage is set RIGHT on the racetrack, so keep that in mind...
Last big festival to happen WITHOUT any crowd-managing-barriers and areas, as the Roskilde tragedy that set up these things, happened just 2 weeks after this one.
Now it was one of the very last concerts of RATM before their long-lasting split and MAN, I have been to some concerts in my lifetime, but the crowd was fired up for this one. If i remember correctly, KORN played right b4...it was Sunday, last of the three days...late afternoon. We were all ready and waiting.
RATM enters the stage, ppl go wild. There is footage from this concert RockamRing 2000 RATM, however the quality is quite bad...MTV VHS from 2000. Now go and tell your sister what a VHS is. :°D I am even in some shots there, a 20 year old, just done with grammar school and ready to move on to university that autumn, being in the middle (ok like 30m from the stage) of 100.000 ppl with everybody stomping jumping screaming like crazy.
Have never experienced smth like this b4 and after. ;)
Ground was shaking, that racetrack tarmac just vibrating from all our movement. Crowd was so fired up, it was UNBELIEVABLE, you could have led us right to riot in the streets and start a revolution. It's what many ppl describe, when they went to a concert of these guys back then. ;) Totally unique. Sends shivers down my spine, thinking about it.
They got so many energetic legendary songs..that concert was a total best of. Like, NO Fillers. From one highlight to the next. And this one 'Bulls on Parade', was one of the best. if you two EVER want to see a crowd go completely nuts, try Killing in the Name Bullet in the Head or Know your Enemy from that one. The crowd is better imo than the legendary ACDC River Plate one...but well. Just a hint, if ANYBODY wants to see a crazy 'explosion' of 100.000 ppl.
Damn...sry for the wall of text. It just happened...well now I'm done..kinda. ;)
Never actually requested smth on these channels, but I'll leave one here. It's my favourite song, from my favourite band, being performed live in a special place on a very special night.

Not sure, if this is how it works, but I will just leave it here. Happy Easter Holidays you guys from Germany (we'll have a nice and high 1.4. this year...;)) and keep on listening to excellent music. ;)
I was there, I was in the Army stationed in Heidelberg, Germany at the time. That show was wild! (I got lost from my group, and couldn’t find them for about 24 hours, I stayed in a tent with some German soldiers that felt bad for me being lost😁). I think it was at the Nurenberg track. That’s the biggest concert/festival I’ve ever been to. I got caught in the mosh pit while corn was playing, and lost my shoes😂 I remember seeing Sting and Pearl Jam perform there as well, it was such a great line up.
@@catherinedudley-fr3re
Hey there, Happy Easter to you in the US...:D
So, you must have been more or less our age? Like 20smth? We met so many people in those 4 days (arrived on Thursday afternoon, went back on Monday), just guys stumbling along the camping ground (in 2000 there were at least showers, when I went to RaR for the first time in 98, there were none. Just some basic metal-washbasins, unisex under open sky :) ) and stopping at our 'claim'. :D So cool...
You are mashing two things up here, this festival is a double-leg-thing-whatever, no idea what to call it..sry for my bad English btw. :D 3 days in two locations (same weekend - same bands), one is Rock im Park in Nürnberg (or Nuremberg as you call it) and the other being Rock am Ring, this one we're talking about at the famous racetrack...Nürburgring.
I'll have a line or more to say now about this and HOW close we actually missed each other that day and I do recall at least one person without shoes in that area. A girl. Maybe more than one.
We shouldn't spam the comment section here, I'd really love to ask about your experience that weekend. What was life in Germany like for you back then, probably being abroad for the first time, in such a beautiful location as the Heidelberg-region, ofc with a certain amount of 'army-life' going on, but what did you like, what was super odd at first, and then:
Rock am Ring...What was it like to see all these young kids going crazy for three days? Is it the same with US festivals? Never been to one, read some things about it...what made you go there in the first place? Almost 25 years..how time has flown by...didn't we...JUST...see..Pearl Jam on the Saturday Night...? ;)
I'll leave a mail here, would love to exchange some memories and experiences about this one.. tigerauge1980@gmx.de
Remember THIS? What a crazy night: ua-cam.com/video/PzE-zq_Ivsk/v-deo.html
Take care girl and keep rockin...😃😘
These Commies could jam.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 🙏🇺🇲✌️😎
Best bass line ever
Singer, (i guess you call Zac that) left the band at the height of their popularity, Standing on principle of not becoming a part of the machine. He has since rejoined to tour, and I'm happy he has. I'm sure if they wanted they could return to the studio and record new material, but they have chosen not to.
Honestly, as their original material has only gotten shockingly more relevant in the 3 decades since it was released, it's hard to blame them for continuing to repeat it. "Y'all aren't listening".
30+ years ago blows my mind. When I was a teen, 30+ years before 1984 was very different from what this is to teens today.

Zach's side project
You gotta check out tom Morello and bruce Springsteen do ..ghost of tom joad
Yes, Tom was going for a deck tone…this Harvard Graduate Guitarist literally took his guitar everywhere with him to practice since he was 8 years old.
Soooo...you found the real deal!!
I have seen RATM 3 times the best show was in 2007 at Alpine Valley Wisconsin. It was their first non-festival show in over seven years. There were fans there from all over the world, It was pouring rain right up until the concert started and then the rain stopped and the concert began. It was one of the best/funnest concerts I've ever been to and I've been to 100's. Check out some fan videos from that concert and you will see everybody having fun in a muddy mess.
lets get it! from such a great album!!!!!!!
Two bangers today guy's.. awesome 👍👍
Bulls on Parade is a protest phrase for riot police or soldiers on the move
Warmly recommed Zack De La Rocha, KRS-One & The Last Emperor - C.I.A. (Criminals In Action) , top song!
+1 this yo
always do lyric video's when reacting to RATM. Scratching was the intention.
Tom Morello is an incredible musician, always looking to do things with a guitar no-one has done before. In this case, I think mimicking a DJ scratching was certainly part of that. IIRC, the liner notes of RATM's first album had to specifically include the statement that there were no DJs on any of the tracks, as people simply couldn't (and still can't) believe what Morello could do with six strings.
I love Zack De La Rossa. However, I always thought his voice sounded like a mix of Daniel LaRusso from The Karate Kid and the Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz. But somehow it's dope!
Absolutely gorgeous on 🎸
The scratching sound is Tom Morello on the guitar
I dropped by for the song, but I have to say, holy cow! What gorgeous young people you are! My late husband and I used to love to play "Who do you look like?" and young man, you remind me so much of a young Tim Curry it makes my heart beat faster. And young lady, you're a dead ringer for a drop-dead beauty called Vanity-in the 80s, there wasn't a prettier girl around. You two belong on the covers of magazines! Very much enjoyed your reaction as well. Cheers!
I am sure Tom meant it all in his music; he is the Harvard graduate of the bunch, lol.😎
That and Tom worked in Washington for United States Senator Alan Cranston. It was while working for the Senator he saw how crooked politics were.
you two are lovely, beautiful people with good taste in music :)
Holy shit i haven't heard this song tony hawk pro skater 2
If you want the most hip hop vibe from rage check bullet in the head, take the power back they bring that boom bap sound this is from ther self debut first album best album in history of music in general
I think their first album is the best one but they are all good.
Not sure how peeps can just chill mildly while listening to Rage.
I hear Rage and I'm ready to jump off a cliff or run an Olympic race.
Glad anytime someone plays Rage, but just not used to a sleepy head bob and a tired yawn.
Yes! Music is often better with the sound on! :D
100% he was playing the part of the DJ.
Tom is a guitar god
Someone has to talk about it, agreed ✌️🇵🇸⚖️🌍📣
New to channel. I think this video surprised both of us in a few ways. First, no respect to man’s, but I guess more as compliment to the female. I thought she was your daughter. Second, I had no idea the accents that were going to come out and it took me for a ride when I heard you guys speak. Third, seems like the band threw you all for a loop as well, and really enjoyed your reaction to it. New sub, cheers fam.
"Wake up" !!
not that i don't trust you both but pulling up zach's lyrics for future videos would be good. :) and yes Tom's solo emulates dj scratches but he can do literally any sonic nightmare with his setup. also, before you ask, bulls on parade is slang for riot cops in full gear (shields, helmets, batons etc)
✊🏾
Listen to "Down Rodeo"
New to the channel. Got my sub
You're a legend Terrell, thanks for the support!
I think it is protesting against the "MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX"
u need to do lyric videos with rage...if paints a different/ full picture...if u listen to this everyday for a week, it'll be all u want to listen to...i know some people just a hear a wall of sound on first listen, alot going on...oh and really loud or ur not hearing properly...ur way out on chronological order but id do ' wake up' nxt.🎤⬇️✌️

Sorry about that we'll make sure to fix that! appreciate you checking out the channel!

@@RNDReacts Opera 2
or
Olimpico!
is that guy speaking english??
Nah
You always have to have the lyrics pulled up with them it's always societies ills with them and some of their tunes are downright brilliant you should react to wake up from their first album if you want to see him spit at the end he recites the actual post freedom of information report on how to stop the leaders of the black rights movement it's basically MLK and X it's chilling and a precurser to the whole woke movement.
and the money keeps going to war not people still.
when the shit hits the fan you "Rally round the family with a pocket full of shells"
Sorta? It was more a commentary, IIRC, on the paranoid and violent mindset white supremacism in America inculcated in its followers, as well as juxtaposing the hypocritical twinning of alleged concern with "family values" while also spending outrageous amounts on the military and police to keep desperately-poor people down (eg. no concern for the racialized families who couldn't eat or be housed, and the incredible dishonesty of thumping the Bible with one hand while holding a weapon with the other). "Rally 'round the family/with a pocket full of shells" is what the white-supremacism political leaders try to make their followers do; constantly be afraid of a racialized slaughter they assert is ever on-the-horizon in order to sell them weapons and pick their pocket for sky-high military and police budgets, all while allowing the leaders to pursue whatever further political agenda they like with no questions asked. It's also a reference to how that status is an echo of Alexis de Toqueville's writings about his tour of the antebellum enslaving American South, and how every house and town there seemed to him to be an armed camp in the middle of a war-zone, so constantly-terrified were the enslavers of the violent revolt of the enslaved they feared was always a heartbeat away.
RATM's lyrics are always very deep politically. They're all exceptionally well-read and incredible analytical thinkers. Tom Morello, for example, has both his experience growing-up as the one Black kid in his all-white town and a BA with Honors in Political Science from Harvard.
I always understood it that politicians always talk about family values,while they only fund the military and the police not programs that would help families. ✌️
This tune is about Palestine, America, the IDF and the Nakba.
The def you find on the net is well over simplified.
I think the "BULLS ON PARADE" are like the parades the Soviet Union used to have showing of the weapons/ Armor they had
I miss the 90's so fucking much 🥲... Eventhough i was angry and lost back than
C’mon, man. It’s not just you guys. Most of the reactions I’ve heard to this band act like you don’t get what they’re saying. You’ll never hear anyone that says exactly what they mean in the clearest way possible as Zach De la Rocha. It doesn’t endear you or make people think you’re stupid. It makes you seem disingenuous. Just saying. I want to hear what you really think if you want me to “subscribe and hit that like button.” (: also, you’re British. Us citizens expect you to have a better grasp of the English language (: I mean, you have access to the internet, as well. It’s just not a valid conceit.
Bro, let your sis talk, you cut her off constantly and consistently.
Yo this is not in your wheel house
They're a great band despite the whole Communist thing.
Capitalism has its issues. The top ten percent control over 70% of wealth in America. The stats don't get any better, the longer you look at them.
A society cannot sustain itself when so few have so much, while so many have so little. Senator Bernie Sanders.
@@Chris.Davis.2 Consumer/Capitalist or Communist either ideology isn't immune to inefficiency and mis-management. One benefit to communism is the spirit of the collective it's derived from community and the intrinsic belief that something is given for others benefit. Capitalism on the other hand creates a sense of community out of something more negatively aspected. The concept of something taken from the collective as the oligarchy hoards. While both are driving factors of each ideology for the concept of the collective they have fundamentally different catalysts.
I believe Capitalism is more palatable to humanity purely because it empowers the individual and this is a key Trojan for the oligarchs. They feed the concepts of greed, individualism and apathy spawns. A cumulative impact that is self-fulfilling and derivative oppresses parasitically.
LOL, you're one of those "Rage should keep politics out of their music" types, aren't you?
Yes, all those horrible Communist structures like "families" and "the military". Clear failures, all.
Your girl looks so uninterested in the song and just placating to your interest
Oh that’s my sister not my girl, I think her facial expressions aren’t the truest representation of what she’s thinking / feeling, as she could see something she things is absolutely insane and have a similar response
Calm like a bomb is another great song.👍
Yooooo, you need to hear Renegades of Funk. You have to try to NOT throw shit around the room or punch the wall, it gets you so hyped.
