NOW THIS WAS AN INTRO! Rage Against The Machine - Killing In the Name (Official HD Video) | REACTION 

A lot of these older songs were uploaded to RU-vid in 2009-2011, once there was a deal struck between the record companies and RU-vid. So don't let the upload date fool you. This is 32 years old. Which is awesome, but sad that the song is still relevant today.

This song came out in 1991. Still relevant today.

“Some of those who work forces, are the same that burn crosses”-Abraham Lincoln

It's always a good idea to have the lyrics pulled up when you listen to Rage. This song is the OG protest against police brutality and corruption, came out at the time of the LA riots and the murder of Rodney King. "Those who died, are justified, for wearing the badge, they are the chosen whites" Some of those who work forces, are the same that burn crosses, referencing the fact that many senior police members were also members of the Klan back in the day

This was made in like 92 bro lol. The singer got bars too in other songs

"some of those who work forces, are the same who burn crosses" says it all right there. Sometimes during their live shows they will switch up from "those who work forces" and "those who swear office". In a very early interview Tom mentioned that they left the "Killing in the Name of" open-ended because people with power will always justify their acts against humanity. Facts.

You should always do lyric videos with rage.It's packed with truth.

I just subbed for more Rage! Their music is fire, but the lyrics are even better. I couldn’t tell if you had them up on your screen, but make sure you always have them up for their reactions. Tom Morello is a genius on guitar, and Zack basically raps over rock music. Anytime you wonder “what’s that sound?” It’s Tom on the guitar. Every song is a hit, you can’t go wrong with whatever song you choose next. Take the Power Back, Testify, Down Rodeo, Guerilla Radio, Fistful of Steel, all fucking amazing.

Welcome to Rage, my dude. I saw them in the summer of 92 when I graduated high school…been a huge fan ever since. Try pulling up the lyrics with their songs, because all of their music has a lot of meaning and protest vibes. So happy I watched this video, thank you!

Rage is good rabbit hole to go down. Very political with lyrics that are unfortunately still as relevant today as they were back in 92. This song is about police brutality in the aftermath of the Rodney King riots. Their entire first album is fire.

You need lyrics. It's "Burn Crosses". Rage is not just kick-ass music. Without the lyrics you can't understand how important they were to social justice.

I’m not promoting anything, but if you burn one and sit back and just listen. It’s absolutely mind blowing bro!!! It’s the music ability of each one of those guys. MASTERS of the instruments.

"Ok... Rage Against the Machine... I'M READY!" (me with a Joker smile) "He ain't ready..."

And you know what? The singer from Tool features in another song of Rage..." Know your enemy" Good musicians feeding of of eachother!! Good reaction!!

Tom Morello is one of the Baddest Guitarists on the Planet. Just in case you didnt know Rage is the biggest part of the Super Group Audioslave, along with the late great Chris Cornell!

I wish this song was only 12 years old. It would’ve been ‘the’ song of the decade’

Welcome to the Rage rabbit hole! They don't miss!❤

Had to come here to say "Burn crosses", not Bear. Some of those good ol' Boys in Blue got themselves some white robes with hoods to match, you get me?

Listen to Down Rodeo.

If this song doesn't make you want to burn shit down I don't understand you.

Saw them in Frankfurt, Mannheim and Amsterdam.

You were not born when this came out, bro. 1991-92

Some of those that work forces, are the same that burnt crosses. Song is alot older than that.

Great reaction video! React to their other songs like Down Rodeo (that first bar is 😮), Bulls on Parade, Freedom - make sure you have the lyrics on hand

Lyrics yo ✊🏾

it came out in 1992, dude. i was in high school when this dropped. I saw Wutang open for them in 97'.

He said A LOT n that first repeated bar. Always have lyrics in front of you when listening a rage song first time.

You slept on the lyrics bro. Always, always, always, always choose lyrics videos for Rage Against the Machine. People who tell you to listen to RATM aren't telling you to listen to the beat or the instruments, even though they're tight. They're telling you to experience the rage.. the militant messaging. Zack spits truth, more than most will ever learn in school. This song written in 1991 is about police brutality. "Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses. You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites." You should really listen to: Down Rodeo Take the Power Back Wake Up Know Your Enemy (Maynard from Tool collaboration) Testify Again, with the lyrics. With the lyrics. And again, with the lyrics.

Keep going! Bulls On Parade, Bullet in the Head, Wake Up, Bombtrack, Vietnow... good luck finding a bad one! All certified BOPS.

Every time a person younger than me "checks to see when a song came out" by looking at the video upload date, I boomer laugh out loud.

"What the billboards say, come and play forget about the movement." When I was a young man back in the 90's grunge was a thing. It was anti corporations, anti greed and that's why we all wore jeans and flannels. It was a GIANT middle finger to all the fancy things in life. It seems the corporations have gained control again, that is why more amd more people are interested with "what you are wearing" "what you are driving." You all have to stop reading the billboards and keep the movement alive.

Rage is something else. Always nice when someone else finds them. Now, please, go and find yourself a dust rag and take care of that entertainment center. Be sure to get a can of compressed air and make sure the innards of those devices are dust free. That's how components overheat and stop working.

Love the rage and tool reactions! Keep em coming

Tool and RATM are like actually friend in real life. Look into their history together It's crazy.

The lyrics went over tour head. Song written in response to the beating of Rodney King.

It always amaze me when someone (and even more someone who is into music) in the states says he has never heard songs like this. I guess it shows how closed and separated society is there.

Don't know how I missed your channel with this... Zach is a military poet for the masses.. I'm a Rager since 91.. Videos are always good but with rage and Zach you're gonna need the lyrics.. Every song is a banger full of bars, a History lesson I'm every song .. This song was after the Rodney King beating, sparking the arrest acquittal of the cops, and helped to expose the corrupt hiring practices of the LAPD..

I been rocking Rage since it came out when I was 11 years old until today!!

Oh cross dominance! I never heard that term but I think I have that. I write and eat and draw with my left hand but I do everything else with my right hand. Right-handed throwing, hitting, playing guitar. I don't know maybe I'm right armed but left-handed.

Do System of a Down's Chop Suey next! If you liked this I think you'll like it.

THIS... is your intro to Rage? maaaan... lucky you! Still here for the Tool, but this is gonna be good --- haven't watched yet. * tucks in *

Since you’re checking out Tool, I suggest you check out the singer's other band, A Perfect Circle. Their song “Counting Bodies Like Sheep” is amazing.

Its only a few lines, but its all about how he is saying them. Check how he moves the emphasis each repetition.

They're just about all that good

Jimi Hendrix, first song,,, Manic depression, or Are you experienced, the list goes on, pick any one, flip a coin, you can’t lose

Subbed on the condition you listen to either ‘King Park’ by La Dispute (poetry, political, heavy, nonfiction) or ‘Waiting Room’ by Fugazi (punk anthem) and ] because the RATM are reactions are dope

That’s a cool guitar. RU-vid has videos on how to restring and tune guitars if you are interested

Even the subtitle videos actually has the lyrics wrong it's some of those that were enforcers are the same that burn crosses meaning enforcers of the law

some of those that wear forces are the same that bear crosses LMFAO

bro. not "bear crosses".... "BURN CROSSES". the music is secondary to the message. the singer was telling security to fkoff. the fan stagediving was fine with him

someone told it's actually over 30 years old right?

Just about all of their songs r still relevant today,sadly. Bulls øn parade is one u should check out next!

He’s talking about police brutality against the black men

Every time I hear RATM it reminds me of DX 😂

You will actually get better sound if you plugged that dusty receiver behind you into your computer via optical cable then headphones into the receiver. Trust me.

Tool and Rage are the best

All rage videos should be lyric videos...otherwise you miss the biggest part of what Zack brings...lyricism

This song is as true now as ever Killing in the name of Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites Next check out RATM - Down Rodeo!!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zStxvq_Qqow.html and if you do Jimi Hendrix please do Machine Gun, from his last album and in my opinion, easily the most emotional, political and groovy song he wrote. This song is about the Vietnam war and is meant to make you feel like war, the drums representing withering machine gun fire and the ending sounding like the whistling of mortars and bombs. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u0gnl8SYkdo.html

Yo, why the stinkfist video playing in the background?

#1991

Dude. Gotta check out Denzel Curry's cover of this band. Bulls on Parade.

just listen stop stopping

Their 1993 PinkPop festival performance is wwayyyy better than this studio version. 👍😊

Can't believe you didn't pick up on what they are saying. There aren't a lot of lyrics....but they are saying so much

Disregard my last comment. Just saw that you`ve already done it.

Man, you are going to lose it on Down Rodeo! That`s ro-day-o. As in Rodeo Drive. Just do it. Disappointment is not on the menu!

Nope more like 30 years ago dude!! Police brutality and racism, same issues sadly still alive in the 2020s.
