Rage Against The Machine - Sleep Now In The Fire

[widmo448]

yeah!

[jtoosph22]

absolute power corrupts absolutely.

[codeman2557]

@baronsun they play them on my radiostation all the time

[baronsun]

They won't play RATM on the radio, it is too 'anti family.' Haven't even heard it on the local classic rock station.

[rejekt31292]

@baronsun Probably because they're not classic rock...

[WhatTheDuckVids]

@baronsun I hear them sometimes on my local modern rock station. Not too often, but occasionally. One time they even had a thing where they played a Rage song and the listeners got to vote online for another Rage song that they wanted played.

[PHDGRUNGE]

@WhatTheDuckVids If were getting technical like that, then there is no "real" communist nations. Karl Marx would slap you for even suggesting his communism is used anywhere in the world.

[WhatTheDuckVids]

@PHDGRUNGE Oh, I know this. And I completely agree with this. Not the USSR, not the DPRK, not Cuba. And Karl Marx wouldn't slap me. We'd probably chill out and discuss the dictatorship of the proletariat and whatnot.

[jeffraider]

look at this commie piece of fuck getting 42 like

if you like rape like this o7

[drlukage]

@jeffraider newsflash fucktard, just cos the media tells you something is evil, doesn't mean it is.

[WhatTheDuckVids]

@jeffraider I'm assuming you mean me? "Commie piece of fuck." Nice insulting skills you got there. Lmao.

[TJ3402]

HEY EVERYBODY DID YA HEAR?? SOPA IS DEAD WAAA HOOOO (obvious mario refrence)

[kiddoraelyn]

@TJ3402 well now there's something called ACTA which is worse than SOPA and PIPA.

[MelonheadTheMan]

@kiddoraelyn PIPA in Greek means blowjob. fyi

[mmgrekoss]

@MelonheadTheMan x0axa00xa0x0ax0xa0 ;D

Wraios...xD

[MelonheadTheMan]

@mmgrekoss xaxa etsi re file! :)

[bicz222]

Battle of Los Angeles? Now more like Battle for Internet!

[Germanbiscuts]

Rage's Songs aren't written, they are pulled out of the center of the SUN!

[masterjonsieboy]

Fuck you Youtube, your shitty adverts fucking piss me off

[Narutofan9993]

@masterjonsieboy That's a way for YouTube to get sponsored. Get yourself AdBlock and you won't see more ads. Problem solved. :)

[TheKhaibear]

Makes me want to ram my head into a brick wall. So powerful.

[benderizgreat]

Probably my favorite rage song. RATM FTW

[MrLordOfNightmares]

the 2 Best bands in my opinion

Rage against the machine

Pink Floyd

[trenken]

@MrLordOfNightmares You would put this band who only knows how to write 1 kind of song over a band like Rush? You're fucking insane.

[TrevorEngage]

@trenken It's HIS opinion dude, respect it or GTFO.

[MrLordOfNightmares]

@trenken i don't know Rush but thank you, now im going to chek them out :)

[Numonkei]

@MrLordOfNightmares Do that...they so damn good...YYZ might be one of the best modern instrumentals...period.

[zarksaishi]

102,441 views? all of them are mine!!!!!

[pythag123]

America: Civil freedom + economic freedom = respectable profits.

China: Civil oppression + economic freedom = ridiculous profits.

The capitalist system always moves towards more profits. The future isn't that hard to predict, the math is quite simple.

[oathtaker95]

@pythag123 ummn you messed up on one of he equations its [America: Civil opression+economic opression=debt] China: civil opression+economic freedom=slaves to government

[UniversityofAlabama1]

@pythag123 What ridiculous profits as in good or bad lol.

[masonroe157900000]

Anarchism>Marxism, Capitalism, Fascism, Imperialism, etc.

[Rjimppy]

@masonroe157900000 Agreed apart from it would have to work in an anarcho-communist way in local communities

[Nuggetboi]

this song goes bow wow-ah-woah-woo

[Nuggetboi]

shit fuck fuck arse fuck fucking adverts

[ncham97]

3. I admire there raw force, anger, and passion for what they do. Could Nickelback cause the Stock Exchange to shut down? I dont think so

[xheiser]

@ncham97 haha shut down the stock exchange hello $15 a gallon gas, way to stick it to the man. I suppose you're man enough to not need grocery stores and hospitals, hippies stick to music its the only thing you are good at.

[ncham97]

@xheiser Haha i am in fact not a hippie. Im npt a leftist either. I dont think it was a smart thing to do but it was pretty boss

[xheiser]

@ncham97 Good to hear, hopefully there is more of us than of them. Markets and currencies are going to collapse in the coming years and this ax the rich shit isn't going to help, make fun of hippies its american.

[ncham97]

@xheiser Yesss haha. I agree with that. I don't mean to offend those far leftists but taking from the rich isnt gonna help. People in poverty need to support their selves. That doesn't mean you can't help em out, but if you do everything for them they will be dependent on the government and that wont help. And yes making fun of hippies is fun.

[keyaleron]

@ncham97 one thing you aren't taking into account, is there are no jobs, hence why they are in poverty, if the government invested money into the country like everyone else, we'd be back on our feet in no time, unemployment rates would decline, and the economy would bounce back. and even though no american is denied health care, have you ever been to england? where it's literally free to go to a hospital? im sure america could think of a system like that.

[socialleech87]

@keyaleron And deny those doctors, pharmaceutical companies, and hospitals all that money that they 'rightly' deserve?! HOW UN-AMERICAN SIR.

[ncham97]

@xheiser Also, one thing we need to let the leftist know is NO AMERICAN IS DENIED HEALTH CARE! And if someone makes more money than another person, they have the right to get better health care. Communism could work for me. If i was a fat lazy bastard. Way to go xheiser haha

[ncham97]

I got into politics because of RATM. I may not fully agree with there views, but they are one of my fovorite bands for these reasons

1. THEY HAVE TALENT. They play instruments and they are damn good at it. They don't click buttons on a computer and dub it music.

2. All there songs have deep meaning. They don't sing about what they did last friday night, how they know that there sexy, or how the got the moves of a 70-year old man. They sing about problems and highly disputed issues in society

[pittshnogle]

lol communism. Just listen to the music and not even argue about the ups of communism. Don't bitch because you aren't one of the "bastards with all the money and the bigass yachts..."

[ohyahlinkinpark4life]

best f***ing band in the whole world

[PositiveCreep87]

Can I sue for whiplash?

[Spwillo]

this song reminds my of george orwells 1984...

[TheGaffa99]

SKATE 2 WOO! 

[Mrdarky01]

@WhatTheDuckVids I agree with you, China's economic system is obviously capitalist, yet I'm curious as to who you would name as the "real communists in the world" because I can't think of a single "real" communist nation that exists today, or indeed has ever existed in mankind's history.

[WhatTheDuckVids]

@Mrdarky01 People who believe the best way for the world is through revolution to create a classless, stateless society. One doesn't have to live in a "real" communist nation to be a "real" communist.

[BornAgainDan]

i'm right wing conservative....but i love rage. grew up listening and they are still great. this and killing in the name are awesome for screaming down a country highway at night with the top down. watch out for cattle.

[Slurmzy]

@BornAgainDan as opposed to left wing conservative ;D

[Leverage08]

stop talking about politics lets enjoy the music.. Im a capitalist by the way=)

[VoodooWeegee87]

@Leverage08 its really hard not to when the song it self is talking about politics..

[lordandriolf]

Real music. Listen to the shit you hear on the radio. Rap, hiphop, even rock now, all that shit sounds the same. Il keep listening to stuff like this, Guns and Roses, AC/DC, Metallica, Lynard Skynard. Let true music live forever!

[jesup25]

@lordandriolf well rise against is nice

[99billionninjas62534]

@lordandriolf hey dont dis rap dude >_<

[sliccviet94]

@lordandriolf i totally agree with you! im an underground hip hop fan but i still bump old school rock like this too, limp bizkit, acdc, and rage against the machine!

[Numonkei]

@lordandriolf It will, as long as it is heard.

[1961JHendrix1]

@lordandriolf you just named my least favorite bands of all time

correct that statement with: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, Led Zeppelin, U2, Black Sabbath... etc

[undercoverspy123]

@lordandriolf Rap is still kickin the real shit its just underground, Check out Immortal Technique, Beast 1333, Jedi Mind Tricks, Cunninlynguists, Rhyme Asylum, Army of the Pharoahs or check out TheYacz Channel.

[lordandriolf]

@undercoverspy123 I know there is some good rap out there. Like i said ''shit you hear on the radio'', that means all the mainstream shit. But yes, I know there is some good rap out there, you just wont hear it in the waves.

[ROBOTNIK28]

@lordandriolf no way man, don't group Rage with right-wing consumerist douchebag bands like Guns and Roses and Lynard Skynard.

[DsGBiohazard]

@lordandriolf Well actually, RATM is pretty mainstream. They are a really famous and loved band. I think some of their music might even be on the radio...

[frogurt1992]

@lordandriolf plz do not talk about ac/dc on a rage video its an insult to good music

[DUBestBass]

@lordandriolf you can't compare ratm with these bands dude, ratm is much better

[kimaze05]

[dno1223]

i totally rapped the this song into my ear

[furtherInside]

"The Battle of The Angels"

[sbodkins]

man their drummer sure could rock a three piece

[jmorrishanna]

isint this in skate 2

[LeftSideFreedom]

@chailizard Dude, please?

[chailizard]

@LeftSideFreedom you're right, sorry.

[F0rM0th3rRussi4]

@chailizard It looks like Selena Gomez disliked this too...fools :P

[IknowUification]

@F0rM0th3rRussi4 WHO IS Selena Gomez ?!!!

[F0rM0th3rRussi4]

@IknowUification Justine's lesbo partner.

[MrOhaiMark]

@chailizard

It's funny because Justin Bieber admitted rage was actually one of his inspirations. No joke, look it up.

[99billionninjas62534]

@MrOhaiMark thats fuckin gay cause he raps about his old boyfriends all the time

[Numonkei]

@MrOhaiMark No. Listen to good music, stop making a social meme of a one-hit-wonder, and read about the real one-hit-wonders who killed millions. They are alluded to in a lot of this groups' recordings. Listen, and research actual events rather than musical exploitations that will be less than exceptional in a few years and destroy the supposed 'artist'.

[MrOhaiMark]

@Numonkei

Ignorance is bliss. I never said I liked Bieber, I just wanted to point out he gets a really lame wrap for what he does. Musical choice is an opinion and even Rage themselves would call you out for telling someone they can't listen to a specific type of music. Bieber isn't really a one hit wonder anyway but; if you bothered to support your facts, you'd know that anyway. Personally I have alyway been for of a classcal person... Oh and indie.

This isn't politics, music isn't fascism.

[blackerthanebony100]

How is it possible to dislike this???!!!!

[Spindator]

At themselves they're all good musicians, together they're orgasmic

[Veronhawk]

I faceplanted doing a rediculously dangerous skateboarding trick while listening to this :/.

I cant help it! This song just makes wanna do crazy shit.

[16warriorfireheart]

ONE FAGGOT LISTENS TO JUSTIN BIEBER

[phantomninjaman]

i thought agent orange was laundry soap.

[BlakBlocAtak]

@meggajudo: Fuck China, it's hardly socialist (by the Marxist criteria)! It's hyper-capitalist if anything! Whenever you have an economic system that leaves a disproportionate amount of power in the hands of a few, it will become corrupt. Power corrupts, Absolute Power........... Cuba is probably the most democratic place on the planet right now but not for long. The new always rebels against the old, it's a necessary evolutionary process. Resist the fascist State. Anarchist Jihad.

[neckeater666]

I'm sorry but Cuba is not the most democratic country at all. Perhaps if you would have said Sweden or Norway. The Cuban people have many constraints placed on their individuality and freedom. Things such as restriction of travel to the USA is an example. The simple fact that Cuba is not "the most democratic place" is further solidified by the simple fact that the Castro brothers have maintained their control throughout the Socialist history.

[tunellord20]

"I'm deep inside your children" LOLOLOLOLOL

[phantomninjaman]

why do people get high rated comments for singing the lyrics? it just doesnt make sense to me.

[deftasl]

[ggingrichbeast]

r they communists??

[WhatTheDuckVids]

@ggingrichbeast Yeah, Rage are communists :D

[krazyako]

@WhatTheDuckVids Not really, they appear to be more Anarcho-Socialist than Communist. maybe, because they show the Red and Black flag in Bulls on Parade Video. haha

[WhatTheDuckVids]

@krazyako One can be both. I consider myself to be an Anarcho-Communist/ Libertarian Socialist. Rage is definitely socialist of the libertarian variety, which can mean communist. They seem anarchist communist to me (like my own ideology)

[kiddkanuck]

@WhatTheDuckVids Communism doesn't necessarily entail any degree of libertarianism... at its theoretical centre its a classless/private-propertyless­/capital-less ideal that is the extreme of socialism... it means planned economy, it means no free enterprise so that the state can ensure everyone is as socio-economically equal as possible. If anything it sort of precludes the possibility of libertarianism because it represents the idea that the economy should be controlled by the state...

[catbuffalo]

@kiddkanuck

You assume that the goal of anarcho-communism is an equal society when all it's proposing is no authoritarian institutions. They call themselves communists because capitalism is inherently authoritarian. What did nobles use as an excuse to justify their power during feudalism. That they had the money and resources. Right? What's different? Many would argue about how the rich acquire their wealth but they argue that because they have it doesn't earn them a badge and a gun.

[catbuffalo]

@catbuffalo

Also to be clear i'm not a marxist. I think many anarcho-communists put the cart before the horse. I think it can be inferred that equality would be a product of having an anti-authoritarian society.

[kiddkanuck]

I mean its possible that a society could be morally libertarian but economically state controlled but that wouldn't be a system one could really label as a classically defined communist state.

[kiddkanuck]

Or a libertarian one for that matter

[kiddkanuck]

That being said I also don't understand how someone could call themselves an "anarcho-communist"... If ur an anarchist, you believe in no government because you think people are enlightnened enough to make their own rules and still function productively together- but on the other hand you're also saying that you believe in a system in which the government is so powerful that it controls absolutely every aspect of economic activity within this supposed state, but theres no state cuz its anarchy??

[WhatTheDuckVids]

@kiddkanuck Well, anarcho-syndicalist to be exact. And you've got your definition of communism all messed up. I believe in a system with no government and no capitalism. Communism's definition has been butchered by failed states like the USSR. However, the purest definition of communism is a classless, stateless society. Communism is NOT a state that controls everything. It's the lack of economic classes.

[Taker1116]

@WhatTheDuckVids

"Communism is NOT a state that controls everything. It's the lack of economic classes. "

Tell that to the Chinese people.

[WhatTheDuckVids]

@Taker1116 China isn't communist. NOT EVEN CLOSE. It's more capitalist than anything else economically, they just have a repressive state that calls itself "Communist." It's a huge disgrace to all real communists in the world. China has classes just as much as any capitalist country. Look at the bastards with all the money and the bigass yachts....

[fehlberg2]

@WhatTheDuckVids

its a big throw off claiming they are equal in ching chong land......grab the shares u dog eat dog world

[estatuadechozo]

@WhatTheDuckVids China and capitalism suck... communism sucks too

[joncuesta95]

@estatuadechozo what doesnt suck in politics?

[XanosKnyghtshade]

@WhatTheDuckVids "all the real communists in the world"

Yeah, cause they totally listen to good music.

[M3RUL3Z]

@WhatTheDuckVids its the most captitalistic country in the world... you have four people (basically the 99%) workin in factories four 4$ an hour, than the 1%..... well, its the 1%... rich

[M3RUL3Z]

@WhatTheDuckVids *poor people*

[Panasonic295]

@WhatTheDuckVids True. China needs to keep communist system because of the amount of population they have. The system has to be stricted. But the economical system is capitalism.

[Solares310]

you think that man in the picture is supposed to be someone special?

[docBOSS1444]

[Mrballs]

[thes54]

album cover looks like the outline of Bender from the Breakfast Club

[Alyssagirl934evr]

hahaha I never noticed that, your right.

Awesome band, not much more to say about them. though their views are difficult to explain sometimes, their ability is easily summed up, because not many words can describe people with this much talent.

[skillmaker22]
