INTRODUCING E-Girl/GEN Z to Rage Against The Machine - Killing In the Name! 

Our grad songs in 94 were this and Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit. Our teachers obviously never vetted the songs ahead of time. The look on their faces :D

Great job BP as always!love Andy, but chill sometimes on being so sure of the things you think you know for sure, especially with things u haven’t heard or looked at the history or time period. Graduation in 94 also. So there. For me BULLS IN PARADE was one of most impressive and had me hooked!! Check it out BP. ❤✌️You’ll love it.

1991 grad here, became a metalhead in 1988 when ...And Justice For all came out. Man In The Box came out my senior year. So GenX not only had RATM, Alice in Chains, and all the NuMetal bands, we also had Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Ozzy, NIN, Marilyn Manson. Judas Priest released Painkiller. We've lived in the golden era of metal.

And they did nothing with it, useless generation

@@ultimusgt Do you have any idea how badly GenX is outnumbered by the generations before and after us? Of course we're useless; we've been told we don't matter all of our lives in a variety of ways.

Hey, my word isn’t the end-all be-all, but it definitely sounds like what we would consider Nu-Metal today, so that’s why I said that. Completely fair assumption on my end. Genres are just genres and it’s never that serious anyway haha! Nonetheless I appreciate the respectful information…the more ya know!

@@itsandiroo It's 100% a fair assumption to make. Like you said, their sound is indicative of what is now labelled as Nu-Metal, even though Shane is also correct in the fact that they predated, and even pioneered the way for bands like Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park who emerged during the first wave of Nu-Metal.

@@itsandiroo Nu-Metal is more influenced by bands like Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Steve Vai, Prong. Rage on the other hand is more influenced by Bad Brains, The Clash George Clinton, Public Enemy. "Rapping" wasn't even a main stay with Nu-Metal in the beginning. That's when it became a Pop genre.

@@itsandiroo No shade meant. Been a RATM fan from the beginning and ultimately who cares what genre a band is as long as you can dig their music 😜🎶.

I consider Rap-Metal and Groove-Metal offshoots of the Nu-Metal Era. I don't think Nu-Metal should really be considered a style, as much as an era of styles being popular. Kinda how No Doubt is considered "Grungy" while sounding fuck-all like Nirvana, who sounds nothing like Beck. They all sorta fit in the framing of "Grunge Era", while, if I really thought about it, I wouldn't call them Grunge. Whatdya think?

That's funny considering they are raging for the machine now.

@@AceOfSpadezCC trumpanzee says what?

@troublemethis17 I'm not a Trumper. But facts are facts. Biden did that, then rage redid this song for the biden administration to push the vaccine they were pushing, which is funny cause it was made under Trump. But then the leftists said they won't take it cause it was made under Trump. But then they pushed it for 4 years now. 🙄. But sure call people names for saying your favorite band sold the fuck out like some cucks. 🤣

​@@troublemethis17"There's no left. There's no right. In the middle we sleep." Ren Gill

@@AceOfSpadezCC no they aren’t 🙄

They're more like a metalcore band that anything. A blend of metal and hardcore.

​@@ChristopherJames1993nope!

I just call it protest metal or rock.

@@black4pienus It's crossover funk metal.

They're one of main influences on a lot of the nu-metal bands that came a few years later. They inspired nu-metal, but they don't entirely fit into one specific genre

BP is abit of a thicko and can’t help himself, he thinks it makes him cool that he was an antivaxxer or something

@@Dave_Allenliterally not the same 😂😂

Well said!

Nobody of these so called reactors, really digs into the lyrics because they don't have the balls to say what needs to be said...armed forces are plagued with racist p.o.s..that follow the teachings of one Albert Pike..there is a reason they burn crosses, the prophet Yishua was a black man..and they sure hate black floks..

I had the exact same thought. This came up on my feed as a recommendation. This guy is weak.

Yep - it was one of the best things to happen to U.K. “pop” music in many years. I bought the live version at the time because although I’d had the studio version for ever, the live version they put out was great too. But I discovered annoyingly that it’s no longer available for me to listen to or download on iTunes / Apple Music! I hate it when the online music services do that.

legendary

ROFLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!! OMG What was the BBC thinking? The lyrics scream "I won't do what you tell me." Did they think it was a metaphor?

dont forget, they also flew over and played a free outdoor concert too

​@@lazarusblack9995 To be fair to the BBC, I understand they were 99% sure Zack wasn't going to abide by the request but wanted to at least broadcast the show up until they had to cut it. They would have received some complaints but to be honest, people are constantly complaining about the BBC over here anyway so I doubt it made much difference 😂

Whagaha

he literally just said it "sounded like nu metal" like relax dude its fine

🤣

He's one of the best human beings. We love him here in my country. He knows about our history better than most people born and raised here. He is not just socially aware, he cares and he does things about it.

But did he protest the Hamas killing of over 1000 Jewish civilians, the rape and beheading of children and the elderly? Or the Hamas constitution that called for the death of jews and the state of Israel?

@@jss27560 well at least half of the claims you make have been dis-bunked as Israeli Lies no babys were beheaded hamas fighters didnt stop in the middle of an armed attack to rape hundreds of women while under fire from the IDF and remember Israel was born out of Zionist terrorist campaigns while international law protects the right of an occupied people to armed resistance without being labelled terrorist So i dont think you can legally call Hamas terrorists according to UN resolutions,or the Geneva conventions

​@@jss27560 no one who have any decency is gonna protest for isn'real

​@@jss27560 Why would you protest against a specific terrorist group? What could that possibly achieve? Do you think this would put any kind of pressure on them to change their ways? People protest governments because the government has the power to do something but perhaps not the political will. Protesting aims to change the government's mind by showing them their position is at odds with significant numbers of the people and that they risk alienating voters. How would this work with Hamas exactly? What you're suggesting is like protesting against cancer, or spiders.

​@@laserpanda94 Jesus Christ, did you miss the entire point with a strawman argument? Dude is just pointing out that the war has more layers than credit is given. Yes, Israel's government can suck my balls, but that doesn't extremists within Palestine has no bearing over civilian deaths on boths sides of the conflict, dating tens of years, now. If you dismiss civilian deaths of any kind, you miss the entire point of protesting against war. Why is this even a discussion? Cease-fire is no longer enough, both sides are permanently burned by mutual hatred, and will kill towards extinction of either sides, it is absurdity to think this is as simple as spiders.

Nice talking points, when did you remove your black square icon? This country has been enslaving all people since before the civil war. With the 14th amendment they told some they were free, with the 16th amendment they turned us all into slaves.

yeah it sucks when people who are literally opposed to the radical politics of the band are just jamming out to it mindlessly, and don’t even change their outlooks, it defeats the purpose

Yup. There is a reason the Boomers and Millennials want to keep us the forgotten generation. 😆

2008 Pinkpop Holland, scale of Richter 1.2🔨🔨🔨

Glad they rocked Belfast as well. I saw them the same tour in Stockholm 1993. The entire floor was bouncing like nothing I have experienced since. Most intense live performance I’ve ever been a part of.

Who cares lol…. They are a hybrid of a bunch of music ….

Damn, so angry over a comment on a song and band they know little or nothing about. Chiilll man

@@factcheck5017 nu-metal is a 2000s movement. And shit.

No RATM and faith no more are just credited for helping start the genre but they’re in every fucking new metal playlist so you know enjoy staying in your box

@@Warchild0311 they're not nu metal lol

Unchecked capitalism is capitalism, corporatism is capitalism. Capitalism is cancer and it needs to grow to survive. Short and long term.

From my whole heart, excellent. Pls run for office somewhere, anywhere, if you can stand being affiliated with the establishment

the best kind

You seen the price of Rage tickets? They have become the machine.

@@emcsquared8681 They don't control the prices, genius!

@@emcsquared8681I haven’t lately, cuz they don’t sell them anymore. But the price of shows usually goes up for artists who’ve remained relevant for several decades. Let me ask you this, do you really think they sold out? Or do you just not like that they’re not on your side? Rage’s influence lingers on cuz of the message, not the messengers. And the people who suffer the most injustice and inequality will always resonate.

@@mickeyellison7929 they have a voice. Far less “rage” bands have spoke up. Stop simping and start thinking.

They all want to blame the band, never mind they didn’t even tour until 2022 after the vaccine requirements had been lifted

maybe because of serious health hazzards???

😂 Yeh. Right. 💩

No because if they actually believe what they say in their lyrics they would’ve found a different venue.

@@TrapHouseZombie the entire tour had already been postponed. They never played a show at a venue who had a vaccine requirement.

Anthrax says hi

The entire Judgement Night soundtrack greets you with a hearty wave and a handshake!

Run DMC / Aerosmith waves at you

Mordred greet you with a knowing nod, understanding they’re not one of the popular kids but are whole relevant to the conversation!

Or maybe Kid Rock

@@Belly_Beane Well, if somebody is also an inadequate man child, then yes, Kid Rock.

Seriously. What a sad reaction this was

That song predates the pandemic by 15 years

@@tobertb That’s my point.

Agree! The fact that some ppl still think it's just Capitalism OR Socialism just tells me they're buying into the propaganda set out by specific groups/politicians. Most of us who want some socialism don't hate capitalism, we just hate the greed many in power use on the rest of us. Ppl need to stop thinking socialism is "Soviet Communism."

No matter how much we regulate capitalism, that scenario will always eventually happen. The elite take over the politicians, judges, and police, and we end up in the same place again.

. . . Doo-dah, doo-dah.

Wait, so the Democratic Socialist string pullers move in and f everything up and you think capitalism is to blame. Wow!

With unregulated capitalism (actual free markets) companies don’t control the government and can’t use it to stop competitors.

Love this 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Fuck authority. I’m pretty sure that is the sentiment.

So this is what an open mind sounds like?

@@KP-wi9sm if the RU-vidr had an open mind, he’d consider Rage’s lyrics without whining about masks

@@KP-wi9sm open minds can be filled with garbage, check the host of this video

fuck science, fuck reason, fuck you i won't do what you tell me because an orange man told me to...

Yeah, the idea RATM would be against protecting your families health and lives is just counter to what RATM is about. And worse, the health issues prevalent in the Black community puts them at risk, and here he's saying FO I won't protect my peeps. What a buffoon BP is. While RATM is anti-corrupt authority, they are PRO-COMMUNITY. You aren't pro-community putting your community in danger.

They didn't tell the truth and those who did got fired.

@@joelbarish how did you find that out?

@@joelbarish you are imbecilic.

And I was like “I love them, they’re so political AND f’kng awesome”

Moment of greatness. Definitely check it.

yup, both versions

Yupyup been suggesting that one too..

Left-leaning the same way Lenin was left-leaning...

Isn't that when he climbed the rafters and refused to come down or something? Or was that an MTV VMA awards or something?

💯

Legitimate lawsuit settlements should go against the officers' retirement rather than being borne by the local taxpayers, including the victim.

I guess a lot of it could be avoided if the police would actually be a high requirement, high paying job that would also require completion of intensive training. Instead of defunding the police it should be funded more so they could provide quality service.

Don't forget the never ending billions of $$ for world wide war, genocide, and imperialism. Trillions they can't even account for. It's gotten exponentially worse in every way since ratm hit the scene, but their music is still a guiding light needed more now than ever

@krs5267 I feel like the "defund the police" energy was largely misunderstood. To me, it more meant that they should be defunded until the can get their shit together. Not defunded altogether, permanently.

2009 it was a brilliant campion against Simon Cowell and fake mass produced pop music.

Hahaha right? My 21 year old grew up listening to these guys 😂

@@ShilasSpellboundCreations exactly. My sons band performed this song at the house of blues when he was 17 lol also come on man zac couldn't be this kids grandparent lol I'm 53 ... so he would have had to have a kid at 15 who also had a kid at 15....

Also the pronunciation of "taught ya" seems to intentionally sound like torture.

wrong, if you go find the lyrics anywhere is "now you do what they told ya" then at the end of the song he says "fuck you, I wont do what you tell me"

...no. Just no. He says and always has said "told ya". That's the point of the song and why I changes to "Fuck you, I won't do what you told me".

@@RavenGlenn read the lyrics on the album cover buddy

@@peik_haikyuu2265 read the actual album cover lyrics it’s there. Told ya and taught ya. All those lyric sites are wrong so often it’s pathetic.

🐑

​@@purplescorp Do you wear a seatbelt, stop at intersections, put your garbage in bags for collection, move aside for ambulances, remain seated on a flight when the light comes on or wash your hands before your shift at McDonald's? If the answer to any of those is 'yes'... 🐑

​@@laserpanda94Do any of those things cause Myocarditis, Pericarditis, Bell's Palsy, turbo cancers, acute kidney disease or SUDDEN DEATH, etc, etc ETC??!! AND has caused a MINIMUM of 17 MILLION excess deaths SO FAR? No they fuken don't. Please don't even think to try and get high & mighty with me, when it's blatantly obvious you've done absolutely sweet fuk-all research about the subject. But then you're probably up to your 6th 'booster' by now...🤡

@@laserpanda94 you clearly are a sheep trust me. You didn't understand a single thing lmao

Yeah it’s really really really a dumb take

One of the best for sure

In a way that's a good thing. They don't know what burning crosses is about.

Kinda worse than lame, pretty disgusting actually.

Rage was always socialistminded... The machine they rage against is the capitalist and dictatorial one that doesn't benefit we the people.......

Lol, way to show you never understood RATM in the first place. That comparison is actually so stupid I'm surprised you are even literate.

Get a vax!
