[MusicalMisanthropist]

SHAKE OUT THE GHOST DANCE!!

[benedigital]

I'm glad Zack inducted Patti.. They are both revolutionary in what they did for music and human rights.

[britishinvasion099]

shit idk about anyone else, but his speech gave me chills. his words are powerful no matter what he's talking about

[MydogplaysCOD]

@britishinvasion099 I was thinking that!

[chekkitProductions]

Zack de la Rocka? Who's that?

[EvilEtiquette]

patti smith has a dong

[AnDyPCLAM]

For fuck's sake will people stop with this inane spouting about Zack being a hypocrite? He's just saying some nice things about a hugely influential artist, it isn't relevant! personally i think that it wouldn't be possible for Zach and Rage to do everything they do for charity and the betterment of society if they weren't as well known as they are, not forgetting that rage are an incredible band, an unavoidable by-product of which being that they are going to make some dough.

[js94beatles]

Yes he(Zack de la Rocha) has made millions, wears good clothes, basically he can afford anything and have a good lifestyle. He together with his bands and organizations he is involved in, has donated thousands perhaps millions of dollars to fund the world to make it a better place. Just because he has made a large sum of money does not mean he has to live in trash like the people he talks about in his music. I believe it is jealousy that some of you people have within.

[malegoldenangel]

i would fuckin be more honored to be announced by zack than actually get into the hall of fame!

[SJ1970]

ZACK!!!!

[Tightbutthole99]

I the z to the d in the rock and roll hall of fame yet????

[PakaloloSwami]

Who the hell is Patti Smith?

[alienboyguitar]

@PakaloloSwami why the fuck are you watching this if you don't know her? Patti is just one of the most influential musician to every band you idolized.

[zillahero]

he shoulda kept his dreds

[DerrickthePinecone]

"Why we hated Ronald Reagan..." What a foolish comment. He's blind, blind, blind.

I wonder how Zach feels about our current ruinous president, Obama? Is he an Obama zombie like so many others?

[h879xx]

@DerrickthePinecone fuck off

[DerrickthePinecone]

@h879xx Anger always loses! Always, always, always! 

[h879xx]

@DerrickthePinecone This ain't fuckin star wars. Go and comment on some politics.

[DerrickthePinecone]

@h879xx Why so angry?

[DourCynic1]

@h879xx No one said it was Star Wars moron, if your talking about Zack politics will come up, if you can't understand that then your retarded.

[h879xx]

@DourCynic1 ....it's "you're" retarded...

[DourCynic1]

@DerrickthePinecone Zack is an open racist, hes a moron who beleives everything is about race. He follows Noam Chomsky around like a little tag along servant school child pre moleste, ironically Noam is a white liberal who got very rich with money from "dat rotten sore on da face of mover earf" & who keeps his money away from tax collectors while he preaches against capitalism & profits. Zach isn't critical of Obama cause he's half black even though he reappointed Bush's Bernanke & Geithner.

[XiuTheFeared]

12,000th viewer!

[Kingopersia]

he sure does like looking to the left

[DerrickthePinecone]

@Kingopersia You got that right! ... Dude is a raging Communist!

[DourCynic1]

@Kingopersia While charging a hefty price for tickets & band memorabilia, & remember kids don't pirate music! thats stealing!

[voteforitnow]

thumbs up if you think system of a down needs to be in the rock hall of fame

[DourCynic1]

Enjoy those fancy clothes, those album sales, the right 2inaccurately mock free market capitalism which hasn't existed in any sense since the implementation of the federal reserve in 1913. And a central bank is a founding tenant of Marxism, & he calls it capitalism. Currency manipulation is not free market capitalism.Why not go to China, Russia, the Middle East, Venezuela,Cuba, North Korea & sing about oppression, starvation, morbid abuse of women? Cause they wouldn't let him do that there. Ass.

[Duckshmm]

@DourCynic1

bro. relax. 

[DourCynic1]

@Duckshmm Bro, tell that to Zack, not me. He's singing about bread and water, but he can afford caviar & snorting coke off gold plates. Don't worry I was totally calm when I typed that, actually blazed off some amazing chronic. You should see me when I'm angry, its worse than Zack, & my voice doesn't crack, ugh!

[CanucksNmariners]

@DourCynic1 haters gonna hate...dont let your jealousy seem so obvious son....ugh!!!

[DourCynic1]

Criticizing someone 4being a blatant hypocrite w a "whack" 1sided understanding of history is not hating.

Then again the definition of that phrase changes depending on who's using it & the circumstance, in fact u can even change it later 2mean something different&claim people don't understand u if they call it what it is. Why would I be jealous of a rich rock star who got famous through capitalism, while blaming white people who bought his albums & capitalism 4 everything lol? Son

[CanucksNmariners]

@DourCynic1 really dude?? you being so defensive and writing that last comment proves the obvious. hense my last statement haters gonna hate. by the way capitalism did not make rage against the machine a success it was the anarchism of young people and there loyalty to a band that represented the same....SON

[DourCynic1]

I didn't know that straigt up what what attacking someones hypocricy makes me jealous. I've never been jeleous of hypocricy, in fact it makes me happy to be who I am in pursuit of the truth. When I was a teen I bought a few rage albums cause I thought he was pissed at the gov. When I grew up I realized that he actually wants more gov & blames everything on skin color like a true moron. RAGE success came from album & ticket sales idiot. Sweet sweet capitalism. You've enjoyed capitalism today.

[js94beatles]

@DourCynic1 And yet a jealous bastard rants on about hypocrisy and not being envious. Oh and by the way, proper spelling wouldn't hurt, son.

[DourCynic1]

@Duckshmm Ill tell you what bro, after I smoke a bowl I will relax. But in the mean time I have to overreact until people like you stop under reacting. This douche bag sells albums & tee shirts & bumper stickers, makes tons of money & then tells us how oppressive capitalism is, this competition man to man that will never stop happining no matter what a government chooses to call it. The whole world, china, russia, Europe etc are all capitalists. & so is Zack hypocrite de la roach.

[Duckshmm]

@DourCynic1

funny thing is. I'm gonna agree with you. I just cant respect anyone that doesn't have a bit of Marxism or libertarianism in them. Government should always be looked at as a oppressive and destructive force. oh and props to the Ron Paul pic.

[YouOnlyDeleted]

@DourCynic1 Do you work for free?

[ablacklakeawhitelake]

@DourCynic1 Sooooo damm right!! It´s so sad to see a man in his fortys still thinking as if he was sixteen. And this dude is american, man, sounds like the average european: false, hipocryte, coward... Your parents moved to USA to give you a better life, and you´ve become a succesfull and wealthy man, at least respect that, and stop whining. The soldiers who die in those wars you critize are protecting your life style. Zack, you are a complete asshole and you know it.

[DourCynic1]

@ablacklakeawhitelake Lol, he sings about bread & water, but he can afford coke & caviar. Why not donate all that money to the workers Zach? Could be that Thomas Paine was right about human nature?

[MrJustwork]

@ablacklakeawhitelake his parents didnt move here THE EUROPEANS DID AND TOOK HIS PEOPLE'S LAND!! lmao how can u be so dumb. he talks like a regular euro-centric american because he was robbed of his original culture. now you see there is nothing wrong with capitalism and to make money on exposing the the problems of the capitalistic system. that a certain elite get all the riches while oppressing the rest. and i think to zach, he is not successful yet because there is still rascism and hatred

[DourCynic1]

@MrJustwork retard, humans have been taking each other over 4 thousands of years. This is like the Indian argument, when Apache's raped & murdered Hopi Indians it was ok because they used hatchets & arrows. But when a white man showed up on a horse (better transportations) with a gun & more knowledge it suddenly became racist to fight & conquer. Before Zachs people were oppressed by Spaniards they were sacrificed to Gods 4rain on the tops of pyramids. Idiots! its not race, its collectivism.

[MrJustwork]

@DourCynic1 your right in some aspects. humans have always been conquering each other. All for the sake of control. And all based on differences, over looking any similarities we have together as humans. When I originally posted the comment i was not as aware as I am now. Whats done is done. This is no longer the time for name calling. but the truth is apartheid, stereotypes, and pure hatred and racism still exist in the minds of people of our country. just on the basis of differences = wrong.

[stewnaaitsabes]

@DourCynic1 native americans rode horses too?

and of course there was violence between the indians, but white people did it on a way larger scale. to me it does make a difference. killing persons or killing entire cultures.

Genocide changes the course of history, murder is just too bad. it's both wrong, but its not comparable

[DourCynic1]

He associates Jesus w the oppressive actions of men even though Jesus said that men would do that in his name. He can't touch the doctrine of individual rights specified by Jesus. His belief in collectivism is as naive as a child believing in Santa.Sure Zack, this time socialism will work, this time human nature will change, this time a few men will do whats best 4every1 else.Hypocritical douche, when r he & Patti gonna write songs about Obama's new war?Oh wait thats right, Zack is a Capitalist.

[36doggy]

So nice to relive this induction. My friends and I saw her so many times in concert. What an experience. Had no idea how popular she actually was.

[watermelonygoodness]

Great combination. Patti Smith and Zack De La Rocha both rule.

[zainadlr]

I have loved Zack ever since I was 14.

[ExposedD3ath]

@zainadlr how old are you now 15?

[zainadlr]

@ExposedD3ath Try 30! I've been a fan for 15 years. Whats it to you anyway?

[aGothicStory]

Rocha! Get his name right!

[XxCaMoXxSnIpErXx]

@aGothicStory that's only how it's spelled, so he pronounced it right

[MAJORleague32]

@XxCaMoXxSnIpErXx no sir, he's mexican-american. Its spelt just the way it sounds. Watch some videos where Zach introduces himself

[danathor99]

@MAJORleague32 Well his nationality is American, he's Mexican and German/Irish

[theparadisesnare]

@XxCaMoXxSnIpErXx there are videos on youtube of Zack himself pronounces it Ro-Cha, not Ro-ka.... if he pronounces it that way, i'm sure thats how he wants it known.

[conbi9]

this guys a revolutionist ratm rules
