Rage Against the Machine Know Your Enemy

Ok!!! Great reaction now it's time for System of a down "Chop Suey!" :-)

Been checking you guys out a lil and not bad you should check out popular monster by Falling in reverse

Me too! Another 1st times lyrics arent don't carry the same meaning but NIN down in it! Whhhhoooo

I fucking LOVE watching people hear this shit for the first time! Especially in 2020 baby!

Oddly enough, I thought Zach was a woman when I first them on the radio.

Exactly

I was 16 listening to this xoxo

HAHAHAHA DEADASS THOUGHT THIS SO HARD! Like “nah homegirl was RIIIIGHT!”

@@Jones-eq4bs Word!

I heard him say that, and was like, damn, you really never have heard Rage.

FRRRRRRRR RAGE ALWAYS BE SAYING SOMETHING WITH EVERY SONG THEY MAKE 😭😭😭

2:01

HAHAHAHA......word the fuck up!!!

Fuck yes

Only 130 likes cus most people watching this don’t know who he is 😋

@@Charkunt.d5 morello a legend

I was thinking the EXACT same thing in school today

So they shooting the cops OMG YOOOOO THAT JUST HIT ME 😭😭😭😭

Yeah man I love how they turn it around so by the end the people are the bulls chasing the pigs.

Found the genxer

Wow. Didn't know that. I've listened to Rage since '96 and dug into the lyrics deep. Good catch, my my friend.

Its also a reference to wallstreet bankers, ie "bulls and bears". A bull market is one thats stable and on the rise and isnt going down. The song is about the military industrial complex and for-profit wars. So the Bulls are on parade because theyre having a field day selling stock for weapons that never goes down.

He aint scratchin.thats guitar playin

If I were putting together my dream band, I would get Tom Morello and Nels Cline (Wilco) for guitar. Watch Nels go ham for 5 minutes ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WBpDs-BfwO0.html

Tom Morello isn't that impressive. Its really easy to emulate what he does. Rage is still awesome, but Morello isn't all that

he has an on / Off switch for he´s pick up´s on he´s guitar

@@PsychoMantis308 It's very impressive in his innovation on the guitar, that's why he's so highly regarded amongst guitar players

The best part about RATM is that their lyrics are always relatable. The worst part about RATM is that their lyrics are always relatable

It is wild how relevant the lyrics are over a decade later. Its sad.

Amen

I think we screamed as loud as we could. The world seemed like a bigger place back then. If we had today's platforms, maybe it could have had more impact? Either way RATM broke so many barriers and stereotypes for us - hopefully this is the next wave of that revolution.

We all gotta keep fighting because freedom is never given by the oppressor, it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Its about government and the wars they wage at the expense of the citizens. Fighting back against the war machine is their whole shtick

renegades of funk, baby!!!!!!!!!

✊

Yeah, is rock

it shoulda been the revolution.

It's a blend of Rock and Rap. Zach is spitting bars here.

That's not sad....that's amazing.

@@guynoir5968 it's sad bc the things they fought for never got fixed, they always had a message but their lyrics are still relevant bc that message wasnt heard

@@jacobgeist6580 it has been heard over and over again, just ignored 😢

Moose yes. 100%

@@jacobgeist6580 It feels different this time. The Cops are showing their true face for all to see.

#truth

Lmao you did you predict the future?

RUN THE JEWELS IS THE MOST culturally relevant music act since RATM

TRUEEEE

@@dkewlguy that's probably true and I fucking love RTJ, even before they started pulling Zack in for features.

@Working Hard Groom Lake, NV It's both. Fuck 12

Lol that's exactly what it is

🧬 ex

She nailed it immediately.

"Killing in the Name" takes more direct aim at police brutality, this one is more aimed at the whole Machine in general, particularly the military industrial complex and how the autocrats keep the common folk down for their own enrichment with, yes, the use of the pigs. The second verse in partcular is sheer brilliance: Weapons not food, not homes, not shoes Not need, just feed the war cannibal animal I walk the corner to the rubble that used to be a library Line up to the mind cemetery now What we don't know keeps the contracts alive and movin' They don't gotta burn the books they just remove 'em While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells Rally 'round the family, pockets full of shells

Truer words were never spoken.

new RATM would be outstanding

After 8 months of hiatus, they wanted to do a tour on 2019, got postponed to 2020, and now 2021.

It's been going on forever. This ain't new, it's just publicized with social media. It'll NEVER end.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD YESSSSSSSS RIGHT NOW

I'm reminded of an interview Ice T did around the end of RATM's first tour. When he was asked about them he called their sound "heavy hop" and I still think it works. Its a shame we didn't see any groups pick up and continue to refine it.

It's still rock bro

@@el34glo59 And still that label don't do them any justice

They came in and changed the game. It’s not rock, it’s not hip hop and have MULTIPLE outlets, interviews and all, saying they are Rapcore.

It's called rap rock and yes it is a sub genre...nu metal comes straight after it...a band inbetween would be like papa roach earlier stuff the infest album.

I’ve never heard of that but I like it

@@ashleywootton9556 try Skindred, Rap/Reggae Metal. Another difficult genre to get right. :)

Rage is basically in a genre of their own.

@@samanthacakebread8196 SKINDRED🔥🔥🔥

Facts I was thinking about how different their stuff is from most rap/rock aka numetal. Numetal always seemed to cater to teenage angst but I remember hitting a point where I was embarrassed by the content. Rage never lost it's appeal though

Tom's guitar: "ARM THE HOMELESS"

She was spot on though

No, she picked up on it right away. It's about police brutality and the overall bad behavior of cops.

She was on that quick. Smart girl

@@R3dRum215 yes and no- Bulls on parade refers to The Bull on Wall Street- it refers to how walls streets interests trample over the meek of the earth

Nah she grabbed racism

So what. So did i back in the early 90s. So did literally every single.person i knew. It wasnt difficult. We didnt think they were a love band. It didnt take much to figure it out.

@@mikeyj1030 what?

@@SillyGoose2024 chill out dude. they had barely gotten into the song and she literally grasped the whole idea thats what they were pointing out. anyone with half a brain could look at their lyrics and know but they hadnt even gotten to the lyrics yet.

@@SillyGoose2024 it wasn't that deep. cool for you though ig? weird flex

*snort* This.

Amen!

Kind of... the meaning of the song is about how corporations claim to be family oriented but also support war and violence because they only care about profit. “Rally round the family... with a pocket full of shells...”

Fkn getten there.

@@jeffbrown8117 And I thought the family was the gang and the shells were bullets.

It was happening then and before this song came out. Jeff’s comment is Spot on.

hmm Tom Morello!!

he use wah pedal buttt that string swipe is just genius!

There is no other guitarist like him out there.

He’s not a guitarist he’s a guitar

That was his total point & what he is trying to do..

I saw him play with Brice Springsteen a few years back. He was doing shit with that guitar it didn’t know was possible. I went glad I was finally seeing Bruce. I left glad I got to see Tom Morello do a guitar solo.

Because it did. That's what waking up looks like 🤣

it's called having a revelation :)

That's what RATM does to folk.

Same same

Rage against the machine = modern day prophets

Tom Morello is the most INTERESTING and innovative guitar player I've ever had the pleasure of hearing.

They announced a reunion tour pre pandemic and if this current situation doesn't have them churning out some creativity I'm stumped for why.

Ken McAllister are* 😎

Correction....ARE not were

80% of the 90 still hit hard. Last great decade

Funk with some hardcore mixed in, not really metal. "We're the renegades of funk" -RATM

dave bcf renegades of funk is originally by Afrika Bambaataa, bro. Rage is rap metal

@@jackconorria4033 Nah, it's just not bud. No one ever even called it metal until reaction videos. It's funk, hip hop and some hard rock. I guess you could call it a beta version of nu-metal since apparently now anything with guitars is metal. I even see clowns claiming pop-punk is metal now. It's hilarious.

dave bcf personal opinions aside, this is indeed metal. As were some zeppelin songs and most van halen tunes. I respect your opinions but factually you’re wrong. Ratm along with many other artists that might not be considered metal are under that genre.

@@athiccbean6359 No, factually I'm not wrong in any way. You just are one of those people who thinks distorted guitar = metal.

You can see it in the eyes as the brain computes. It's so satisfying to watch it unfold.

Every word is perfect. Writing like that is so difficult and only comes from an honest connection and belief in what's being said. Zach is an absolute legend.

Or as President and former WW2 Supreme Allied Commander Dwight Eisenhower said "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. . . . This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."

@@j.f.fisher5318 the president who started America's obsession with overthrowing DEMOCRACIES who wouldn't bow to US corporate interests... in 1953

@@fricky00 That's the thing that boggles my mind about Ike: he represents the ultimate hypocrisy of "woke America." "I know this is a terrible thing, but I am also going to actively contribute to its promulgation." That's why it's called a machine. No one person, EVEN A PRESIDENT, can break out of it on their own. Imagine a president who resisted the MIC; they'd get assassinated, pretty early. I guarantee there's someone in the Secret Service detail of every president since the CIA started existing with orders to find some way to "deal with" that president if they upset the plans of the intelligence community too much. It's more than just one person: it's an entire system in which too many powerful people stand to lose too much from reallocating our resources away from the war machine. It probably ends with our well-deserved collapse as a society. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

those opening 4 lines are an amazing lesson in flow.... breaking the bar line so well

And that's the problem nobody wants to think nowadays

yea cuz they both dumb lol

Not thinking deep enough. There's always time to get educated though.

@@idkhowtospell I'd rather say american culture doesn't push people to think too deep about politics - as of before recent events I never really saw anyone talk about politics deeply like they do in my country

- Down Rodeo

Good list

People of the Sun

Basically their first album is a serie of BOMB TRACKS !

Juan Martinez word.

He needs to be narrator for documentary work or channel announcer like Kyle Kinane is for Comedy Central, a podcast would be just be gravy for us.

Got my volume down, almost literally couldn't even hear him, no joke.

It’s so deep I can barely hear him lol

he pulled the cord from from his electric guitar and then used the plug on his guitar strings! There are close-up videos!

magic. No other answer

@@mikebarner1006 he does that for bullet in the head. Here he uses a pedal that make the strings octaves higher than they are and he runs his hands up and down the strings while switching back and forth with the pick ups.

Digitech Whammy Pedal thats how.

He explained he did it with an allen wrench by rubbing it across the string .

The band themselves have said it's the system in general: governments but also the corporations that have bought them.

And then they endorsed the system. Still a great band but it's all a show now.

thats why i love them and sytem of a down, the lead singers look kinda alike

until you sign to the biggest machine there is when it comes to music aka sony and start charging 400 dollars a ticket per show they played everyone with a fake message so hard lol

You guys got it wrong...the lead singer left the band because of that very reason. (To not sell out) They broke up because they didn't want to become what you're accusing them of. They broke up at the peak of their success. That's a boss move. Signing with a label is just part of the business, that doesn't make them sellouts or poseurs. I'm glad the younger generation is starting to get an idea of what bands like this were all about.

at my place we call this style crossover :D

That are people that doesn’t give “music a change and are focus on genres Music has no color only feels 🙌🏾

Rage is their own genre really... Truly unique.

Half the band is not white and rock music was created by black folks so let people know that when they talk trash.

Rage are a genre onto themselves.

@gordoswife Me too! I love RATM!

FUCK THE POLICE. TOPPLE THE RICH!

The trick is to not go too far left or you become a carbon copy of the equivalent on the right. Believe me when I say that extreme leftists are as obnoxious as the far right. I consider myself left of the middle, but there has to be a balance somewhere along the line. If you shoot for systems of government that rely too heavily on the good will of people and their desire to share for a greater good, you end up with a whole new set of problems. The reasons are quite clear, and those reasons are that there are people in the world who genuinely have little to no empathy. They are quite literally incapable of understanding the need to tackle homelessness, poverty and starvation. Somebody of this mind set will not be too happy in a socialist environment which would only lead to another revolution of like minded people. Then comes the snag; what do the leftist society do in order to tackle the revolution? Do they force people with a capitalist mindset to toe the line? If so, are the left not becoming the very thing they fought hard to escape? Just thoughts by the way, but when younger people talk about revolution they need to make sure they are doing it the right way, with a sustainable plan in mind.

I've been waiting since 93. Not as good as I once was. But I know I got one great one left in me. Let it begin.

@@joshwilliams3653 😉every champion always think there is something left in the tank

STFU u aint doing shit...milennials are special snowflakes who cant take a beating without crying "injustice" and getting back to their parents basement. Fuck the commies and fuck BLM

Lol I know right

Right! She figured that right out off the rip!

Nope they are not anti establishment, they are anti Capitalist establishment. This band donned a communist elitist on their merch. They are definetly pro communist establishment - supporting one system over another when both are actually 2 cogs in the same machine.

Saw them at Lollapalooza II, as the very first act at 10:30am. Later that day bought their CD from Tom at their tent. Instant fan for life. 30 years later I am still fighting. But being a natural born rebel lead me to switch sides. As The Machine for me! Was giving me a fish to control me for life. When I wanted to learn how to fish for me self, I was cast out. Leaned how to fish and woke up to realize the freedoms that was stolen from me by giving up my vote. 2020 The Machine has be unmasked with martial law and quarantines. While those chosen white politicians eat at restaurants as "we are under control" Reminds me of when Zack is yelling "WAAAAAAAKE UP!" The old quote is still true, "Evil will never tell your wrong. As long as you always agree and obey". Took 15 years to figure that out. Another 5 years to realized you want a leader like Chef Ramsey not Barny the dinosaur. 2021 is going to be epic! Thanks RATM, p.s. B Boots no disrespect, my path is probably different that yours this is my truth. Yours is just as valid as mine and you have an equal path. Like I said No disrespect, all love all love.

Can’t stress this enough though is when you do this watch the lyric video because there is soooo much content in there

my favorite

Agreed but Zack raps pretty fast so have the lyrics up so you get it.

Nah it's a reference to American politicians talking about morality and family on one hand and feeding the military industrial complex on the other. "They rally round the family with a pocket full of shells"

Watch the Family on Netflix and you'll understand everything

The original commenter is wrong about the meaning of the chorus.

Seen Tom Morello do a free show during lark fest in Albany NY and it blew my mind , 120.000 people on the street , by far the biggest lark fest crowd ever 👍

@@bigtravis6159 that's epic man. Totally jealous!

Man I just love music it’s the universal equaliser in colour sex race it’s just how we all should strive to be

Don't forget to mention Urban Dance Squad... a Dutch band from the late 80's. They inspired RATM as well. Check t hem out, you might like it

The implications

Yup I'd think a lot more black people will be at those concerts than in the past. Seems like a lot of black folks are finding out about RATM lately.

Yet Morello is quite a communist :) That must have been a good cognitive dissonance...

@Mercb3ast red represent communist and black anarchist and if they together it means solidarity

@@lokaniukas China is communist in name only. Far more fascist than socialist.

TheLastWalenta All communist projects are and were totalitarian and fascist. No matter how and what standard apologies “not done right” will be said. I lived in one of those and experienced every possible flaw it has. It has fundamental conflict with human nature.

@@lokaniukas Communism and fascism are polar opposites. What are you talking about?
