When BBC asked Rage Against The Machine not to swear... 

akin to when SOAD were asked to perform on SNL "and not swear." the band censored the entire song just for Daron to scream "FUCK YEAAAHHHH" at the end of it and completely dodge the censorship crew. I'll never get networks that invite anti establishment bands and expect them to behalf on their accord.

Yeah, pretty stupid on the BBC and a total lack of understanding of the song.

Another situation like that happened to Muse. They were asked to perform on Radio 3 and were told to not swear, which at the time, their music had no swearing whatsoever. A whole lotta "fucks" ensued.

The Doors and Ed Sullivan entered the chat

666th like 😅

no replies? you left everyone speechless

😂😂😂😂😂 it’s in the damn lyrics

Yup, fair warning

They asked them not to do something on a song about not doing what people tell them to do. The BBC should have asked them to swear (reverse psychology)

Except now they're just shilling for the Man. Better get your vaxxxine

Yes, I was on the edge of my seat until he started dropping f-bombs, and then I breathed a sigh of relief and was like “thank God, they stayed true to the spirit of their music.”

I knew he was saving it for the breakdown. The man was a master of his craft. This is why Rage Against the Machine will ALWAYS be my favorite punk band of all time.

@@GrieverSSBUnot all rock that's politically inspired is punk my guy. Rage CERTAINLY isn't punk lol

​@@ARSZLB Musically, they have nothing to do with punk. But their attitude was for sure the definition of a punk spirit.

As soon as I heard him say I WONT do what you tell me I knew the fuck you was coming hard. They were against oppression of anything. Freedom of speech. Just badass

Bro said it with a hard "F".

😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂

A capital F

He was omitting it in the build up, just to shove it right into their face harder.

Pulled out the middle finger too 😂

Exactly! Like, the name don’t speak for itself? 😂😂🤦🏻‍♂️

That's like bringing on Jimi Hendrix and asking him not to guitar solo.

What did she fucking expect. That’s like telling the rock not do his wrestling move in a movie. He’s gonna do it regardless. Like seriously of course he’s gonna swear it’s part of the song. Have bbc never bloody heard this song before

how many times am i gonna see the same comment for the same video💀💀

@@adrianbiankin accurate

​​@@adrianbiankin right? Tom Morello doing free publicity to IHOP? even though IHOP's money is going to back up right wing politicians.

😂😂😂😂

That's no panic. BBC was handling beatles riots and punks assaults on live TV before RATM lads were even born. xD They're very used to play with fire, and definitely expected them to swear (as the speaker mentionned) It's cool english TV, and they hear and see much worse on a weekly basis. It's just common manners to let it happen for a few seconds, and then cut it to avoid most of the bigots' lawsuits. They CREATED tabloids, reality TV and juicy mediatic scandals to make fortunes. I think they might have been more panicked that RATM DIDN'T start swearing straight away. A producer must have been like "we fucking invited them and gave them a live performance, and try to shush them in a paternalistic way to get them hot-headed, what are they waiting for ?! Explode, godammit!! I got numbers to pull!"

Seriously. I mean, the essence of the song is to say f*** off to any government/corporations or any conformity for that matters. What were they expecting?!?

@@peosea "we asked them not to do it and they did it anyways" what a damn surprise.

​@@peosea true they defend and promote admitted perpetrators of genocide. People told them not to do that. But they thought commies are cool

​@@peoseait's too bad that RATM is now subservient to conformity, bends over and spreads their ass right open for the government and corporations. So sad.

As soon as they get back to Talented Musicians playing their instruments ;;and get rid of these Pop show Wanterbees; and Two dollar music shows the better, SIMION Cowell should be done for Musical Treason.

Haha and its litteraly the lyric lolol

And that certainly didn't go as experts expected.

Anti authority? They’ve been pushing vaccine mandates since this all started. And now are known to charge 150+ for general admission tickets.

They're not anti-authority. They're just against non-communist authority.

Rage against the machines views are literally identical to every major corporation, government apparatus, and mass media company. They quite literally do what the TV tells them

Well, to be fair, supposedly they "asked" him not to swear lol 🤷

An anathema to journalists

It was. Now they rage with the machine.

Integrity would be refusing to play the song at all. Not telling them they would censor the song, then sing the uncensored version anyway. No hate towards the band, but this is a cheap move.

I actually ‘tee-hee’d’ at this 😆

I may have pee-peed a little

Max Payne my man what you doing out here :)

Not even close to a good comparison, it more like telling a US President not to lie about their war crimes.

Basically

I know, right? This is the same band who tried to burn an American flag on a nationally televised US broadcast. This is on BBC.

Extremely ignorant. They think the fight for control is won

I mean people play their songs at pro police rallies so yes people are that fucking ignorant

They did expect it. The person literally said they expected it

.....

RATM: "Fck you, I won't do what you tell me!" BBC lady: "We told them not to swear but they did it anyway. Buy Joe's records." Me: "Fck Joe's record, I won't do what you tell me!"

Lmao

yeah but in my opinion asking someone to censor curse words out of their song, especially within the hard rock/metal genre of music is very insulting, it's like "hey, can you sanitize the core fundementals of your songs?" i don't blame RATM at all for this, if they want to broadcast it, either broadcast it in full, with everything included, or don't do it at all. metal without curse words is like a hamburger without a patty.

The story isn't true. They let it play out without cutting.

@@CesarVialpando420 what’s communist about this lol

They definitely didn’t do their homework on that one.

Maybe one of their execs really liked the song and wanted to make sure they play it.

Bruh the irony

Literally why they were number 1 😂

Honestly I think it progress to see these yuppies make it thirty seconds into a rage song

It's great that by the time they caught it the damage was already done as well. Zack had already gotten his message across loud and clear, got all the Fuck You's out as originally written, and had moved on to continue with the rest of the lyrics. Cutting it off by then was virtually pointless. That woman from the BBC (and likely the rest of the execs) need to pull the stick out of their ass...or maybe put one in? May vary based on individual needs in their case....

They way she said that, like she can rid something way above her level. Lol

Telling people to buy Joe's record is very much against the law for the BBC, though. Very naughty

They get a few “fucks” in… if that’s the original, she could’ve been a lot faster! Ha.

​@@kuylarhudgins6338 the bands called Rage against the Machine, I don't think they understand what that name means lol they were basically asking them to swear by telling them not to

@@WilliamWallace42 thanks for the knowledge

Hahaha. I hope you get tonnes of likes

"I will not proceed as defined!"

😂😂😂 'I simply shan't do what thy tell thee!'

"Good morrow sir, I will not acquiesce with your parlance."

I bite my thumb at you, sir! I shan’t comply with thine request.

We asked them to do what we told them in a song about them not doing what we tell them. They didn't do what we told them! Surprised Pikachu

It's like a ticking time bomb, with the suspense getting higher, then realizing they gave you plenty of warnings with EACH and EVERY chorus!! ... I won't do what you tell me... And when the beat dropped, it was THE GREATEST fuck you of all time! The greatest irony ever pulled off by the citizens of England was to make this happen against the government and the media influence, especially on live TV. This is exactly what freedom of speech in the US Bill of Rights is meant for, and the British people wanted it.

hahaha thanks to ratm and corporate brainless idiots for delivering us this amazing moment

The band suck balls and are shills for the American government, they are owned by hedge funds and Wall street

The whole song is about not conforming to supression... and your telling them not to do something. The smugness of that tv host... they would be in for a big surprise.

RB4 has the now swearing version which sucks

I bet rage was so excited to do the show 😆 love it

Lmao how did this even happen though?

​@@gandoff7840 different times

​@@gandoff7840It was a whole campaign, groups, pages on Facebook, twitter, everywhere this guy started a whole trend encouraging people to buy the song on all platforms to stop X Factor taking number 1 and everyone did including myself, it was incredibly successful. I'd give anything for something like this to happen every year to stop X Factor or that arsewipe LadBaby getting number 1.

​@@rakejoberts2553Kunt and the Gang are trying.

@@nathandts3401 I hope he's successful, I'm sure he tried last year with Boris Johnson is a Fucking Cunt, even had a radio friendly version, but it just didn't quite top it. We need to keep X Factor and LadBaby out of the number 1 spot permanently, I don't even care what song it is that takes it at this point. 😂

The name of the band is Rage against the Machine - a hint perhaps? Did they ever hear the song?

That’s the BBC. Reality doesn’t matter. What matters is what the BBC thinks is appropriate to broadcast. Them being invited to play is already highly questionable. The result was inevitable. It’s like Elvis not moving a finger on stage.

@@tattoodude8946 Yeah that's another thing, imagine telling a band called rage against the machine to be quiet and polite in their music because "the machine" needs them to..

And today they want you to be forced the poke and stuck inside your home. Of course on behalf of the machine. It's like if Chuck Norris said peace was the way and a real man cuts his dick off.

I must've missed the part saying they *told* them not to swear. Everything I see says asked...

Fun fact: Simon Cowell's record label Syco is a subsidiary of Sony Music, same corporation that holds the rights to Killing in the Name…so in the end, the rebellion just pushed the sales of 2 tracks for Sony.

​@@FutureCatman doesnt change the fact that ratm are superior to anything related to simon cowell

Rage Against The Machine has long been in fact: Rage Alongside The Machine. Now they overtly agree with the same sentiments of the corporate wokeness in charge of many companies and in power in many countries

@@pedro-pascals-armpit but, as mr catman just explained to you, they ARE something related to simon cowells parent company. which is arguably worse.

@Future Catman That's why I said a tiny act of rebellion. It's more a prank than any kind of actual rebellion. The point is people were sick of X-Factor taking the Xmas number 1 spot so campaigned to put something better in it's place. It worked. Nothing more than that.

It’s not in the lyrics though. The lyrics are “and now you do what they told ya” but he changed it for the performance

​@@f-8floyd "now you do what they told ya" is the precorus. "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me" is the outro and always has been.

"they're a good band, but why do they sing about politics so much" I dunno Brad, why do YOU think that they sing about politics so much? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Brad is still scratching his head about that one.

It's not perfectly poetic if they agreed to not say it. In that case, they're bitch ass lying to get a stage. It would have been poetic if they refused to perform because they refuse to participate at all in the Machine that tried to tell them what to do.

@@unbumfuzzled I could see your point completely. Me personally still thinks it kind of goes with what they are.

I actually prefer it that way

This is amazing hahahahJ

​@@SRHtheHedgehog Well yeah, whaddya think bruh? Of course it was totally on purpose. It's RATM we're talking about here, ain't no way De La Rocha was gonna let himself and his bandmates be alienated like this by authority and supremacy, it's the very thing they condemn in their song.

I assume the BBC very much expected something like this, having their hand on the button as that part was approaching. But then they lulled them into a fake sense of security by skipping it in the build-up, before... Well, raging.

I'd love for this to happen again! Fed up with the repeats and shit that somehow become Christmas #1

I'm envious!

I remember it fondly I bought the single that year too, and was so pleased that someone else other than the competition winners became an Xmas number 1. Sadly, I was naive in my hope that the X factor and those like them would die a year or two after :(

​@@benclimo461I'm not mad that wham got it this year, however we need to stop ladbaby. The guy releases a song once a year and gets christmas number 1

I totally agree. I got to see them in PHILADELPHIA,PA when EVIL EMPIRE came out and when I tell you that I've been to at least 500 concerts that RAGE is in the top 3 shows of all time. That's saying something

I was fortunate enough to be able to see Rage @ the Oakland Coliseum back in the Early 2000's. It is 1 of the handful of concerts I've been able to go enjoy, along with Primus on a New Year's Eve on a wharf somewhere in San Francisco back in 1996 I think, my memory of that period of time is Hazy!?¿! Thee 2 best concerts I've ever been to!!

Better yet, the F you is in the original line the whole time. Like... wtf did they expect?

The actual album lyrics repeat the "fuck you, I won't do what you tell me" line 16 times.

I think that was they’re only real recourse 😂😂😂😂

Genius

that's a conundrum. He loses either way. He'd have to specify "I was gonna cuss anyway, geez!" lol
