First Time Watching Rage Against the Machine Live! "Fistful Of Steel" | Patreon 

You just missed them. They rarely tour anymore

if you want their "fuck around" music would maybe be covers of songs like Kick Out the Jams or Renegades of Funk, even tho they still are songs with meaning from when they came out

Better get a couple of leg and neck days in before you see them, cause you wont stand still a lot. Thanks for the reaction btw. Would love to see your reaction to "Wake Up" by RATM. Also, to give the girls a chance to shine too, you should check out Alanis Morissette 'You Oughta Know'. It's one of the hardest rock songs, written by a very angry young woman.

I had tickets for three years to see them. They kept postponing the tour to the next year but then this year they canceled the tour. I hope they do another one though. I had the best seat in that venue too.

Down redeo HAS to be the next one bro.

Word. Comment of the thread.

Yes!

Any strong women out there knew exactly who they were and how important it was they recognized.

OH hell yessss I particularly love that line! And that " I want to be Jackie Onassis / I want to wear a pair of dark sunglasses"

Revolver: Single mothers raise criminals

Beautiful!

18-year old me also in the crowd 😂👍

Respect 👊

Where was this?

@@PossumBear Pink Pop Festival in Landgraaf in the Netherlands

Takes me back to those days!

Back when anger and angst was cool because it meant something real to our lives

💯 Pretty sure Wilk's drums are permanently affixed to that rolling platform. Everytime I've seen them live it's the same set up. He beats the shit out of a basic kit... drums and symbols would be flying if they weren't bolted down. 😂

They are also in Audioslave! The only difference between RATM and Audioslave is the lead vocal.

@@TheStuntViking yes, that's part of the "everything they do" :). And I'd say the difference between RATM and Audioslave is more than just the vocalist!

Yup, absolutely love that bass 😍

Rage and Audioslave !!!!!

Same here.

Same, brother. Rage is one of the true great educators my time.....our time.

RatM and TOOL raised me right.

The Dollop podcast episode on Leonard was fire. Why is he still in prison? FFFFF!!!!

obama had a chance to pardon him..NOT!

50 and Same!

as it should, cuz we do need to take the power back ! With zack 300%

Zach is part Native american....so alot of his lyrics lead back to that part of his ancestors!

This is exactly why I ignore anyone who tries to waste my time with “tHeYre SeLLoUts!” bullshit: I DON’T CARE that they’ve made millions of yt dollars doing what has to be done to get these ideas to yt ears.

Well said.

@@seanburns5211 Also, like, anyone calling RATM sellouts doesnt know what the goddamn term means. Selling Out is when you compromise your principles to make saleable music at the prompting of your producers. RATM did not ever do this, and many producers, especially today, would likely quail at the idea of hosting the content of a band with songs like Testify, Calm like a Bomb, and Guerilla Radio.

This is lost on most people, and very important.

This ^ The guitar strings are wound together so they have groves that are roughly perpendicular to the length of the string. When you run a guitar pick or your hand over those groves, it makes that gritty scratching sound. In quieter acoustic guitar songs you can hear the guitarist run his/her fingers up and down on the strings at chord changes. It makes that scratchy squeal.

I didn't even peep lmaoo that's fire af

He’s literally scratching on the guitar.

​@@HollywoodRobTVu should peep Inside Out - No Spiritual Surrender. Give u some Zach before he was in Rage! I think you'll love it! Not sure how you can't honestly........

It's the actual name of the guitar as well, even though it's hardly the same guitar as when he got it in 1986. He still uses it to this day.

i know right he gets me hyped hearing a song i already heard a hundred times 🤣

Now he just rages for the machine, exactly what he was against.

I agree that things are better than in the 80’s & 90’s. The world has gotten better but it’s DEFINITELY 2 steps forward, 1 step back, 3 steps forward, 2 steps back. This song is a perfect example of Zach’s education and the power that SPEAKING UP has over violence. Steel Microphone over steel firearm. There are not enough “mad boys” that want to empower and HELP people. MAD doesn’t (always) mean violent. In other words and ramblings… Zach de la Rocha and Bob Marley are my spirit torn.

Tom graduated Harvard, not Zack :)

@@elche1976 examples of this?

@geetuz Google what they did, especially during covid. They've been pushing as spokesmen for the system long before that.

Now more than ever.

We also used to tape concerts and then trade Audio tapes and VHS tapes through snail mail.

Also, don’t think all those people were there for just one band. Rage played the Lalapalooza tour that year (‘93). I suspect the this footage is probably from that tour.

@@harrisonshields7084 I was thinking Woodstock 94 until he said 93

@@acemodez3169 Yeah, that’s probably even more likely than Lollapalooza.

@@harrisonshields7084 This footage is from the Pinkpop Festival, which I think is in The Netherlands. I don't know if this is before or after they were on the '93 Lollapalooza tour, but it's around the same time. They hadn't broke in the U.S. yet when they opened the Lollapalooza tour, even though their bold "PMRC" stage protest got them some press. Their opening slot on that tour was only 15 minutes also, which must have sucked for them because they weren't even given a chance to truly shine. But they were a big group in Europe in '93. Rage broke in Europe way before they did in the States, largely because their first single was "Killing in the Name" with 17 "f" words in it, and U.S. radio wouldn't play it. I don't think MTV would even play the video, or they didn't hype it at least, only playing it late at night. But in the U.K. and western Europe they did play it, and although the song means something different for Europeans than it does to us Americans, the spirit and sentiment are very much universal. No one channels indignant anger and fierce resolve like Rage. Love love love them!! And we need them now more than ever!!

Hell yes. Amazing track, musically and lyrically.

Agreed

"Wake Up" is another awesome lyrical track I think he would love.

Agreed

Hell yes it does.

This is so sick. That’s how you know he does it off the love.

@@HollywoodRobTV For sure. It's a long-term love, too: saw them in 1994 at the Rock am Ring (Nürburgring racetrack), when I was stationed in Germany as a tanker, and then again in 2007 Rock the Bells (Public Enemy, Wu-Tang, Cypress Hill, etc.) in S.F. Btw, those concerts in Germany - Rock am Ring & Rock am Riem - two different cities, 32 bands, 16 on Sat., 16 on Sun., with Aerosmith, Rage against the Machine, Smashing Pumpkins, Cranberries, etc. It was the US festival/Lollapalooza of Germany. 300,000 people attended on one weekend! If those big crowds you were showing weren't them, they looked JUST LIKE THAT, a sea of jubilant humanoids, with a scaffold in the middle. Sorry for diatribe, memories.

@@palexander5090 crowds don't "rage" like that anymore lol everyone has been tamed

That part hurt me physically

That's one AiC's best and what's funny is that Rage and Alice toured together A LOT back in the day

Yeah that hurt, aic is forever. So is mad season

Ikr. But whatever, to each their own! Seems like he needs more energy in his music than aic provides, which is fair. Tho I think he should give aic more chances since he seems to care for lyrics!

That line is in "Freedom", but damn, I didn't know that little fact. Thanks for pointing it out.

@@allenclark4235 Corrected! Thanks for pointing out the error.

I fell in love with rage because of that song and their plight to try to bring awareness to Leonard Peltiers fight

Zack’s last name is not pronounced (roke-uh). The /ch/ is pronounced like the /ch/ in cheek.

Same, 100s of shows and they're still in my top five, 25+ years since I've seen them.

Same here 93 Lollapalooza was my first time seeing Rage live. After that I went to every Rage concert I could and think they are the best live acts of all time.

YEESSSS... Down Rodeo is the best RATM song.

I came here to say the same thing. Down Rodeo is a reaction you must do. Lots of reaction videos on Down Rodeo and they are all great.

Yeah, when he asked about if they have any "fuck around" songs my first thought was "ehhhhh, maybe Renegades Of Funk?"

That cover album is fucking amazing,

Renegades of Funk! That's Rage's premiere fuck around track.

Maggie’s Farm gets the full RATM treatment and it’s fucking awesome.

@@donktec Facts. I want to run through a wall after listening to that version. All killer, no filler.

Jar of Flies was always my go to chill album.

Dirt was their best album. It all being about a journey of drugs. Would being the last song, throws its style out of context of the album, which was much more heavy

And Tim gained a little more notice when he climbed the scaffolding during Limp Bizkets award acceptance lol..

i gotta check it out now.

Ahh thank you!

​@@HollywoodRobTV especially effective on a bass or lower guitar strings due to the fact they're wire-wrapped, rather than a single strand.

Tom does the same movement with his left hand while his right hand is flipping the “kill” switch off and on to get the record scratching sound cutting in and out .

Yep. They are the epitome of 'your life will never be the same' once you listen. MTV intro'd them to me w/ Freedom. Same reaction for me. I had to have more.

yes Pinkpop best outdoor festival 👍

Denzels cover is amazing. I had doubts when I heard about it, but as soon as he jumped in and started the first verse I was sold, awesome performance.

At the Drive-In - Cosmonaut

Man, first time I saw the video for ATDI- One Armed Scissor was the second time that my life was changed by a music video. First time was RATM- Killing in the Name.

Some girls don’t like that soft shit.
