Unfortunately the video where I reacted to RATM for an hour was blocked by UA-cam, so I’m having to upload them separately 😢 For the videos that UA-cam blocks, make sure you check out my Patreon; there you’ll find hours worth of content for less than the price of a cup of coffee 🤝🫶
""Some of those that work forces(police) are the same that burn crosses(KKK)"
That’s bullocks, brother! UA-cam part of the Deciders? 😂 “Some of those that work forces” (police, government agencies supposedly protecting us) “are the same that burn crosses” (referencing KKK assholes burning crosses as an overarching symbol for groups oppressing and killing for hate or control). Brilliant lyricism.
They have a lot of better songs than this but it was their first kind of hit song.
check bombtrack and bullet in the head, best songs from them in my opinion
not to mention wake up
@@florenceg1864
They played a live BBC Sessions set and the producers at BBC said they had to censor the "fuck you, I won't do what you tell me." The singer agreed, and when that part comes up, he cranks it up to 11!! One of the greatest moments in live recording history. Highly recommend
That was fucking awesome!! Also, what did the BBC actually expect?
The Doors did the the same thing in the US when invited on TV.. they were told not to say the word "higher" Jim agreed... then sang it anyways... The Doors were the original rebels of rock!
@@CgGoil 100% sure they fully expected them to start swearing...but they had to cover their backs and pretend it wasn't meant to happen :)
@@Gazmus , i would not be surprised if you were right about that.
That's like JIM MORRISON on the Ed Sullivan show, performing "LIGHT MY FIRE" with the DOORS. The show producers told him NOT to sing the line " Girl we couldn't get much HIGHER". ( they freaked out over the reference to getting high on weed).So they do the song....and he lunges towards the camera and deliberately did the line AS WRITTEN ❗🎵 . Yells "HIGHER". They were banned from ever coming back on the Ed Sullivan show. Bravo Jim Bravo ❗
The British public once bought this song en masse during the christmas period to make sure that the X Factor winner wouldn't get Christmas number 1 as they always did. They actually got it and the radio had to keep playing this song. Rage did a free thank you gig in the UK not long afterwards.
"Some of those who work forces, are the same who burnt crosses."
He is speaking of the link between some cops and white supremacists/KKK.
I’m almost 50 years old, I graduated high school in 1993. This song makes me feel he same way as it did 30+ years ago when I first heard it. RAGTM gets in your veins, and never leaves. One of the greatest bands, ever.
@michaeltaszarek6452 ik a lot of people that bumped Rage, they're now on the other side of the message, it's wild how ppl forget who they were
the forces/crosses line references the Ku Klux Klan or KKK's burning of crosses and that some of those that work forces (police forces/armed forces) are the cross-burning kind of racists. If Rage are known for anything, it's being hardcore activists and their music is a call to action. It's got that funky rhythm section and innovative guitar playing along with angry vocals that are honestly quite educational as they reference a LOT of stuff the powers that be have swept under the rug
Well said 👍🏼
yep, literally a lot of Klan members are/were cops
Except they changed now
@@angrybob8126 no they didn't and never have. Morello is a huge anti-fascist and a socialist. Always has been. I get you want the song to mean something else because it is so good but? It doesn't. It is all about Police brutality and specifically their wanton, corrupt and evil violence on Black people.
You don't get to change the focus of their song because it hurts your feelings.
@@angrybob8126 They did not change, their side is in power now.
This was written about the Rodney King beating in Cali where all the policemen involved got off of the charges of using excessive force and riots and looting began soon after the verdict was reported! One of my fav RATM song.
Yes, however, it refers it all the needless violence and evil Police in America have committed against Black people. The song's relevance today is almost gut wrenching. There isn't a day that goes by without Police in America committing violence against human beings for having the "audacity" of being Black.
Rage is based as fuck , anti white supremacy , anti general capitalism……fucking love it
The first time my friends and I heard this song was at a party in 1995. We completely freaked out. and still do when we hear this song. for 30 years. reflects my youth. I just danced wildly in my kitchen, thank you for that. greetings from Germany❤
I saw them in 1993 at a 200 seat venue in Glasgow, Scotland… supported by Tool… was a fresh faced 20 year old at the time… been militant ever since!
If memory serves correctly, "Killing in the Name" was inspired by the 1992 Los Angeles riots - protesting the brutal beating of Rodney King by the police. Pretty sure this was on RATM's debut album.
Zack and Tom (the guitarist) were (and still are) incredibly engaged politically. Racism, police brutality, American poverty, the war machine, Wall Street. This song, the purity of its conviction, the intensity of its delivery, is art.
Tom Morellois a master of the guitar and bends it to make any noise he wants! What a legend!
The last notebender!!
The pedal used in the solo is a Digitech Whammy, it's basically a pitch shift pedal where rocking it back and forth lowers or raises the pitch of what you're playing.
Imagine being the police/security at this show 😂
lol
Fuck em 😂
FUCK THE POLICE!! ;)
That was the music i grew up with. That is the music we headbanged to as teenagers. I am 43 (born in 1980) and that was my youth (and Pearl Jam/Soundgarden/Nirvana/Korn).
same. I’m 43 i found Tool, RATM, Korn, Chevelle, Finger Eleven, Papa Roach, Sevendust ect…at around 13-14. Only bands that I listen to today. Tool is #1 tho. Found Sober music vid at 13-14 on tv & I was hooked!Good times!
42 here in DC, with you on loving this music.
42 join the club.
Same. 47. Germany. We didn't have the internet back then, so finding out backgrounds and context was hard...
Honestly bro, that Greta Thunberg line was fvcking funny.😂
No dear. "Some of those who work forces/are the same that burn crosses". Translation: some policemen are very, very racist. This song was originally released in the wake of the 1981 Rodney King assault and subsequent race riot that burned down half of LA.
*1992, I'm guessing typo. But sadly, this is relevant any time in US history.
@@reanimated sorry, yes, definite typo.
Gives me the chills. I was actually at this festival just 16 years old. Thanks for the trip down memory lane dude.
This song was about Rodney King, police brutality, and racism. You compare it to Covid. Not quite the same thing
Yeah because the worked for the machine and made people get vaccinated to see them
2024 Britain isn’t the brightest.
If you watch all the videos of people being beaten by the police all around the world for not wearing masks it kinda looks similar.
mate its 2024, we still in the same battle. Those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses. Love youre reactions bruv, total love.
In 92 my buddy played this song and Tool "sober" on our lunch break. Life changing event right there.
They didn't force you
Now back up 30 years and feel what we felt at the concert. Imagine being in your early 20's, still rebelling and trying to find your place in a world that seems effed up by a bunch of power hungry effs and feeling the energy of the crowd.
And now watching the kids these days happily complying with the Governments mandates.
Zack is bi-racial, his grandfather was part of the rebellion in Cuba. His entire life he was taught to stand up for what he believes in. I think is a genious.
This is fire, The Album "Evil Empire" is fire the whole album, this is my time G. Rap Metal.
Relevant in the 90s just like today 👏
Rage are so powerful. I'm sorry your full hour got blocked, but thanks for uploading it again!
"I didnt know Greta Thunberg has dreadlocks"
I howled at that line 😂😂😂
Also, the pedal he uses is affectionately called a "Wah wah" pedal cos when you use it the sound goes "wah wah" 😂😂😂😂
Didn’t know Greta Thunberg had dreadlocks.. 😂😂 I am fucking dying.. You Sir, are a bloody legend 🇦🇺
the main pedal Tom Morello uses that made him an iconic guitarist is called "whammy" and what it does is to make any note you play higher (and octave note higher)

I love your reaction to the opening riffs!!! One of the most rocking intros to a song ever!!
“Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses”
Man that's so fun to watch the reactions you make on theese iconic songs! great reaction I must say! It helps us all see it from another angle👍
Gives me so many chills every time I see this! We went to a Suicidal Tendencies gig back in 93 I guess and the support was this absolutely unknown band. They haven't released their debut album yet and so it happened that people were still talking and drinking while they already had started to play. But then more and more of us people realised that something else was going on on stage. There was a certain energy developing in the room and after a while everybody started joining the mood and tension was rising until the hall nearly exploded. This was so special, everyone went crazy and we even didn't know one song! One month later the debut album landed, the success was unbelievable and half a year later they were back in town headlining. We decided spontaneously to go but when we arrived there was already a line that was 1km! long in front of the venue 😮 nuts! I've never seen a rise of a band comparable to Rage against the Machine..... Legends! No Party in 1993 without Ratm and moshpits
I was there at the Pinkpop festival. During this show small earthquakes where registered because of the crowd was jumping.
I could have been there, but wasn't. One of the musical regrets of my life.
i first know of the song in 2008 during junior high when an upperclassmen played this in a school fest and my mind was blown... im not a native english speaker but i got the gist of the song back then... but after a few years later the lyrics just sinked in to me... and its both amazing and scary that this song is still so relevant
I had exactly the same reaction when I first heard it in the 90 on MTV
Man your enhyped state is just infectious! Love it!🔥
How ironic that you hear a police siren right outside your window as this song plays. Message!
Great reaction, and this definitely became my theme during the pandemic as well!
Bro check Rage Against the Machine "Bulls on parade live" the guitar solo you will be blown away. and thats the famous song they have I think or one of.
If I'm not mistaken when Zack DeLaRocha was a kid his mother was highly involved in activism for various social justice causes. He grew up amongst free thinking people and activists, so this was ingrained into him from a young age. So sad that it's still as relevant today than it was 30 years ago. Requesting Bulls on Parade if you haven't already seen it.
hey !!! im listenning ratm for 20 years and more, all the morning and i m going work...Just....LOVE !!! Thank you for your video ( sorry i m french, very bad english)
thank you, you made me remember my childhood
The BEST FRICKING reaction to this😎🤘
dude… i think you would love Download festival 😃 i was trying to describe the vibe to my niece tonight because i’m taking her for the first time next year and what came out of my mouth was “it’s a crazy chill vibe. i mean, the whole place is collectively off the fucking chain, but everyone is super chill with each other.” she was a little worried she won’t fit in because she’d only ever been to hip-hop and r&b shows but listens to a lot of rock and metal as well. it’s a very welcoming environment and i felt like i was among 100,000 family members last year for my first time there 💜
And I told him he'd like it
Bah hahahahaha the shit going flying past the screen was hilarious as fuck. So much fun watching you discover the greats!
He's using a Digitech whammy pedal to get that +2 octave pitch shifting effect in the solo
We made this the Xmas #1 in 2009, how did you miss that?!
Greetings from Brazil! You should react to Animals as Leaders! You'll love it!
Rage Against The Machine got me thru my teenager years and it was GLORIOUS! btw ALL their songs are superb , just pick one..
"Some of those that run forces, are the same that burn crosses"
I was at this show. Great memories.
This song is about police brutality. Getting a vaccine to stop a virus is not something Zach would be opposed to. In stark contrast to most people nowadays, he is educated and cares about doing something for others.
saw em live after the got back together the first time years and years ago.. probably well over a decade now.. i think i was 21.. im 35 now.. man, this shit absolutely slayed.. they closed the festival out with this song and shit got intense... never seen so many people jump and scream...
@TeddyGreyOnStuff "Some of those that work forces(police) are the same that burn crosses(KKK)
Loving your reactions! I've looked at all my favorites starting with Tool, Jinjer and then Disturbed. I grew up listening to RATM and history does tend to always repeat itself. Keep going with these great reactions!
I luved when u got it. U went insane.
More Rage!!! 💯
Saw these dudes live right before they hit it big. Was 19 years old and it was such a great show.
I was able to see Rage at Lolapalooza 1996 in TN and they were amazing!!!!
Some of those who WORK forces, are the same that burn crosses
Liked it up the #first time & enjoyed your enthusiasm again once again 😀
went to my first ever festival last year, I am ND so was super nervous but people were to plight and helpful.
Last year was only a single day but this year I went for 3 whole days and it was amazing but I was also completely smashed afterwards.
Both physically for moshing, dancing and walking for hours and psychologically for the overstimulation but it was worth it and def going next year.
Might even go as volounteer.
It is a reverb pedal it back flows the sound to remove spaces of empty sound in between the cords being played.
the pedals are known as "wa wa pedals" they are used to distort the sound of the guitar to produce different sounds from them
It's nice of Elliot Stanley to be making review videos. My man.
Thank you Brother....
This was my teenage years era🤘. I consider myself so lucky for it too
The pedals? Everything. You want an effect, you buy a pedal. (Or a digital super pedal now) Like a kind of analogic sound workstation.
Love seeing this again so I don't mind! Watching you is always great. I feel a bit attacked personally when you continued to specify that this was 30 years ago LMAO 😂 I don't feel I needed that bit of information pointed out, I already feel old enough lol But you're right, the fact that it's still relevant today is just crazy. Just proves that the people(or the type of people) that have always been in control, still are. It's obvious that's getting us nowhere. I don't know a lot about the government where you are but here in America it constantly amazes me. People divided, fighting and picking sides. Constant back and forth between Republicans and Democrats. And all the while most people fall right into it, eating that shit up, never realizing what's right in front of them. In front of all of us. Democrat or republican it doesn't matter, it's the entire government that's corrupt. Who's President? To an extent, that doesn't matter either. He's the fall guy, the one to blame for everything done by the ones pulling the strings behind the curtain. The entire system is flawed and as long as people fall for it and stay divided things will never change. Just the same cycle of ignorance.
In the immortal words of The Doors and Pink Floyd
"The time to hesitate is through"- The Doors
"Together we stand, divided we fall."-Pink Floyd
Geezus the drummers pace is up and down and up and down. Thank God for the metronome!
Bro you need to watch the song bullet in your head from the same concert it’s insane Zach goes into his on zone best performance ever man it’s crazy and the guitar sounds are bad ass on the track
Wow, the last 30 + years just passed me by!
It's a whammy pedal, also called a pitch shifter. They usually raise the played note 1 or 2 octaves higher.
Metal only works with passion
the " wawa" pedals, banger since 1993 ^^
the later live version in Scotland is pretty brilliant too
You have to go to download 😭 it's an experience
I still get hyped by your enthusiasm 😂❤
But I have to say I'm kinda floored to hear you compare Rage and this song to the covid vaccine. Is it technically part of the machine we're meant to be raging against? I suppose so. But if being inconvenienced into taking a medical precaution to protect yourself and the most vulnerable around you is the worst a person has to bitch about, the message in this music might be difficult to fully grasp. Rage talks about real struggles.
A rant from the privileged. I rolled my eyes so hard when he said that. 🙄 RATM sang about real, deep issues, not non-issues uneducated people on social media cry about.
@@theshadowfax239 I mean, I hate to judge. I enjoy plenty of privileges myself. But I'm also one of those people especially vulnerable to COVID and other communicable diseases, so vaccines are incredibly important. And I'll keep talking about it as long as I have to. It really boils down to how much empathy people have and whether that outweighs their willingness to "conform". Of course, I acknowledge there's a small percentage of folks who physically can't get vaccinated, but the majority of people who push back have no excuse. It doesn't matter until it matters to them.
Those that really did their research into the Covid vaccines knows it’s a load of bull and it’s done nothing in terms of protection and wrecked peoples health.
He didn't make that comment about the song at all.... he commented only on the opening statement. "They use force to make ypu do what the decides have decided ypu must do." The song hadn't started yet lol. And as far as recent events most elite have gotten more underhanded with their ways I would have gone with the most recent murder of a black man by police but it still applies to covid. If ypu don't have the vaccine you can't go anywhere or do shit. It's still a manipulation tactic by big pharma and the govt... 🤷
Zack de la Rocha was a Levi’s jeans model 😂😂
Rise against - prayer for the refuge. It’s a great start and the rest of their work is incredible.
Tom Morello was a mad genius
I’ve just commented on another video asking you to react to RAGE! please do more! Their political stance from years ago are so relevant today. Timeless! My favourite hobby is watch people discover and react to my favourite bands! This one is definitely up there! Thankyou! New subscriber here! ❤
Love this so much!
As much as you enjoy the guitar sounds youd love Bulls on parade by Rage
you would love the video of them being kicked off of live tv for singing this song after they were told not to sing it lmao

How I regret not staying subbed❤

plandemic is the most retarded thing I have ever heard, unsubbed, shame
Okay so I dunno if you are still reading comments on old videos, but the pedals, well, they do different things. You have overdrive pedals, distortion pedals, Wah Wah pedals, loop pedals. It's basically a way to affect or enhance your song, for stylistic effect.
When you step on one, the circuit becomes active and the current runs through it, performing its dark magic. Think of it as when you play a keyboard and you play around with the sound.
If you did manage to read this comment and you enjoyed it... Please react to the song "Buckethead - Soothsayer" to see one of the masters of guitar plying his art
Enjoyed your responses. Look into the history of law enforcement being tied to hate groups in the US and what burned crosses signify in US history. He’s anti religion but this one isn’t particularly against it.
"sirens!" The deciders heard your brain changing
They help you make cool noises like crunchy guitar etc.
So damn powerful
Imagine all the talent still undiscovered.
"Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses". ~ Those who working in the force are the same "side" as those who destroy religion. As in, its all set up to keep us divided. "And now you do what they told ya" because you're being manipulated and brainwashed and following the rules.
RAGE Iis the Goat!!
at the start of the plandemic i was rocking around in work van blasting this song out :)
1993, Paperdoll lounge, Charlotte. I knew she chose the song, and I watched her mouth every lyric When she squatted in front of me, and said "f*** you I won't do what you tell me" , I slid her a $2 billI and replied "who the f*** does this song!?!?"😂 absolutely never forget the first time I heard Rage Against the Machine
If you're going to watch RATM, you had best watch lyric videos. You don't want to miss them. Thanks for the reaction!
