[cornhollio240]

I wish I could get kids at my school to listen to this. All they listen to is LMFAO, Lady Gaga, or some type of music called "dubstep."

[Dellerss]

@cornhollio240 Ain't it fun how the youngsters look at music like they look at clothes? No personal taste, no taste at all, and all is based on what is hip at any given day. People listen to music only because it's "in". It's just wrong. Anyone who listens to music for any other reason than the fact that they actually dig the stuff themselves should go to prison right away.

[jomarthegreat1]

does Tim use a modified wah? if so I want to do the same mod to mine!

[cornhollio240]

@jomarthegreat1 You mean Tom?

[jomarthegreat1]

@cornhollio240 no. I mean Tim. The bass player.

[cornhollio240]

@jomarthegreat1 oh. I didn't know his name was Tim.

[coppoman1]

@jomarthegreat1

Tim is very secretive about his tone, but on this song he uses a home made distortion pedal and his 105Q Bass Wah...

[Dai3eb]

This bass line is so nasty that I had to turn porn on when my Mom walked into the room.

[silentplummet]

fucking sick bass

it almost sounds like an analog synth

[LauroMohallem]

this bassline caused a tsunami in my fishbowl and killed my goldfish

[EvilHippy38]

TIM COMMERFORD.

[Gyro911]

linkin park my ass. ratm shits all over them and pod

[MisterFdssdf]

Why can't someone make music like this anymore? This bass line rips faces off.

[rayovacking]

WHAY YA SAY? WHAT YA SAY? WHAT YA SAY? WHAT?

[MrTexasboy99]

he hit every bass note so FUCKIN PERFECT

[skinnydipper16]

What pedal can I use to make a sound like that? I don't want the exact tone or anything, but some wah pedal's simply can't cut it

[MisterFds]

@skinnydipper16 Need a serious OD and Wah. Not sure what he's using beyond these.

[Jiezeru]

@MisterFds Sounds like an octaver

[AyalMorann]

@skinnydipper16 @MisterFds

He use Two Dunlop 105Q Bass Wahs connected together for the wah sound and probably his Custom 'Full on' Overdrive which is rumoured to be based on a Jimmy Hendrix Distortion Box or a Marshall Guv'nor pedal.

ABSOLUTELY SICK TONE!

[Giannis1850]

TIM!!! THE BEST!!!

[floyout]

Tim Commerford !!!!!!!

[ModsFreeAreForTV]

Not enough bouncers in the world can handle that rage.

[deathbecomeshim80]

Calm like Tom Morello's leg!

[MisterFds]

Also, this is the best version of the song live for Tim's bass.

[MisterFds]

And on that day Commerford never gave a fuck. The end.

[Pantherblack]

16 people have absolutely no taste whatsoever.

[jack87363]

[LolaLovesBass]

[raoulduke881]

the bass line on this version makes me simply wet pants, chair and everything around.

[malicant123]

Does anyone know what synth pedal Timmy C is using here?

[iSTRlFE]

@malicant123 Its a dunlop bass wah for that epic main part but i dont know what else he uses, he keeps his gear very secretive.

[AtheistBuckeye]

@malicant123 its a combo of a wah pedal with a distortion and or overdrive pedals(s)

[Bassmastasnake33]

@malicant123 homemade distortion pedal, two dunlop bass crybabys and boss super octave

[kangkongnilaga]

@Bassmastasnake33 yeah use the drive mode on the boss oc-3

[NarizSangrante]

And da riot be da rhyme of da unheard.

[AdamW69612]

[MagicMelodyProd]

[PunkLivesOn]

[alphermail]

Anyone else notice how Timmy C's voice changed around 1999?

[indykid01]

[dvq]

[1love2respect]

[EseHomeboyEc]

[ComedyIsBack]

That bass is sicker than my mom on the toilet. *shudders*

[r2dxhate]

im as calm as calm until i explode.

rage is the ultimate inspiration to do exactly what their band name says, fight the machine. we're humans, not puppets and slaves.

[tvver]

hardest rock band

[JBrewer4386]

Timmy C is an asshole?

[timberwolves100]

Was the audio really live? That sounded better than the studio recording!

[DrDread]

@timberwolves100 they had the live feed recorded properly, which was released an album of this show called Live at the Grand Auditorium. That's what you're hearing right now. The video is from the DVD of the same name.

[pppoichops]

@timberwolves100 that's the whole point man....rage is ALWAYS better live.

[ObeseChess]

It's a pity Timmy C is such an asshole. Because he's such a good bass player.

[bassLAIFE]

Timmy goes absolutely apeshit on the 'Whatcha say what' part. He's such a god.

[bassLAIFE]

That bass just took my innocence. And I loved it.

[MrMagneticfields]

man that is TO FAT!FOR WORDS!!!

[Mrcharliescene87]

YOOO what guitar is tom using?

[gittinsell]

Whats the guitar that Tom Morello is playing here? It looks like a Danelectro or an Airline? :S

[matthayes1993]

@gittinsell

It's a St. George "Creamy." The story is that Tom bought it at a Canadian pawn shop for sixty bucks. You weren't far off. I'm pretty sure it's one of those 60's/70's guitars that were just crazy as hell and had all the switches all over it like the Danelectro's did. Only Tom Morello could find an amazingly broken guitar at a pawn shop for $60. That's how his killswitch works. The middle position of the toggle switch is jank.

[matthayes1993]

GAH! I always wondered how Tom was able to killswitch that! It never sounds right when I do it, but I just realized that the killswitch on that guitar isn't just on and of. It's on/off/on. so he goes twice as fast! NO FAIR!

[BreNNoNiZZle]

Kinda ironic that they broke up just as the shit hit the fan, politically that is. We really could've used a band like RATM to get us through the past 10 years or so.

[isthepooready]

13 people weren't calm like a bomb and blew up

[aLeXx1314]

this is one of the few times that i enjoy Tim's bass even more than Tom's guitar!.:P

[cheapalien]

its just the pedals that give the bass that "wow" sound

i wish i knew what he used

[Pavel1915]

@cheapalien wah-wah isn't it?

[cheapalien]

@Pavel1915 i think its "cry baby", i dont really know

[Pavel1915]

@cheapalien by the way i think it can be an envelope filter implemented here too. envelope+wah wah probably

[RATM3501]

@cheapalien i think he uses two wah wahs duct taped together i was looking up his pedals and shit and thats what i read

[JMorr1029]

@RATM3501 it is.

[gaeta34]

Man idk what i wouldnt give up to see them just one more time.

[lilsteven05]

what is the guitar that tom is using????

[FRSyndicate2]

@lilsteven05 It's a St. George Creamy. A very rare guitar.

[maluorno]

@lilsteven05 - some weird old school thing. My guitar guy has one. He's a Tom nerd. It's a good thing.

[maluorno]

@lilsteven05 - 60's era st george mp-2

[petervincentadviento]

13 dumbasses was blown away by a bomb

[NatePoky]

@petervincentadviento That's original...

[Lays1992]

Holy shit that bass is funky as hell I love it!!!

[sirpc2]

WHICH BASS IS THE BASSIST PLAYING! I REALLY WANNA KNOW!

[slashy04]

Zack is like the angry version of Bob Marley.

[javieravl]

what year was this?

[MrThisotherguy]

@javieravl 2000

[Pedro1985]

Feelin' the funk blast :)

[pppoichops]

There's a field full of slaves

Some corn and some debt

There's a ditch full of bodies

Tha check for tha rent

There's a tap, tha phone, tha silence of stone

Tha numb black screen

That be feelin' like home!

If only the album had been mixed as well as the dvd...

[chickenmonkeystudios]

I love the bass in this song

[bigdan89]

Epic, Epic song!

Brilliant to listen to at the gym!

[MrNicksProductions]

DAMN SICK RAGE BOOOOMMMB TRAAACKKK!!!!!!!!!

[Zankokurai]

Feel tha funk blast!

[bryan064]

Timmy C used two 105q wah pedals at once. You may never actually find out what other pedals he actually used because he is known to use "dummy pedals" on is board so you don't know what is being used for sure. He is a beast

[stuylocster]

THAT BASS IS KICKIN MY ASS LOL

[endurance38]

RATM and Public Enemy should get together and do a number.

[YarblesYarblesYarble]

Maybe the best live performance of a song I've ever heard in my life. Damn =D

[endurance38]

That bass be kickin you in yo butt don't it.

[MrBILLHICKSdeadhero]

Love Ya RATM!

[bigace511]

listen to rage an play COD, RBSV or some type shooter. INTENSE!!!

[KidASquared]

@bigace511 I just did that this morning for Black Ops!

[Dolski78]

It went fucking OFF! Awesome shit

[worldpeace846]

anyone know what peddle tim uses for the bass??

[chris0186]

@worldpeace846

105q Wah and either and overdrive or a fuzz before the wah. 

[pppoichops]

@worldpeace846 when I play this song, I turn on some overdrive (not to be confused with distortion, there's a significant difference) and I use a crybaby wah, it's not exact, but very close. Indistinguishable if you're not doing a side-by-side comparison...

[ghfdjghjfdghkdfjghfd]

<-------------- click for studio version



[michaelangelo323]

@ghfdjghjfdghkdfjghfd <--------------- Now thats what a called a weird name! lol

[ghfdjghjfdghkdfjghfd]

@michaelangelo323 No, it's an epic name =D

[maniac09nqn]

This is the native son, born of Zapata's guns!

[terser]

Morello is using an ~$100 mid-60's MIJ electric. Possibly a unlabeled Guyatone or Teisco product.
