  • wowww the music was so loud ur mic started shorting out at one point

  • malcolm x was killed by a fucking muslim. wake up!

  • lol u mad zach?

    government controls everything true but who really cares? what are they stopping you from doing? i'm a happy american citizen, i enjoy ratm's music, and don't give two shits about the government and its affairs. everytime i hear some lame anarchist talking about brainwashing, i just chuckle to myself.

  • wake up

  • wow

  • Hhhm can't wait for Rage to come to holland, I bought tickets, it is going to rock

  • Tom's effects in this made me crap bricks....purely amazing

  • @Retter3321 - just get the software from tubemusicdownload com so you can have it on itunes

  • You should read Noam Chomsky.

    Democrats or Republicans-Almost every single one of them has perpatrated war crimes that would, had they not been the most powerful person in the world, have gotten them hung.

  • saw rage in 96 not long after evil empires release. effin' insane! never witnessed a band fill so many people with such powerful energy. that l.o.g. metal shit doesn't count in my book, pointless violent energy. this shit was HOT when it hit! still is cuz shit ain't done nothing but go downhill....

  • Rage = best live rock band ever.

  • dude that is a crazy concert wow

  • no words can describe my thoughts on this but ill try... amazing

  • lol. what a load of crap

  • exactly

  • What pisses me off is I saw on the news them saying how anti american these group of great guys are and that they were threatening the us president and shit and the only part of a clip they played was "They should be hung, and tried, and shot." Just another doing of the corporate media trying to cover something else up! I think that if they had played the whole speach that alot of americans would aggree

  • Great song on every time and country! I like this band!

    I hope they make some new songs and albums.

  • nobody really liked hitler becaus he is a virgin.

    -Wikipedia

  • wow they have a really great sound there

  • Enjoy the fucking music for a moment![2]

  • have u ever listened to the words? this is what is supposed to happen, its supposed to make people to talk about "politics"

  • it doesn't happen when you are brazilian and don't speak english very well :)

  • What the fuck are you talking about racist fuck?

    (A) from Denmark.

  • I'm brazilian, DUMBASS.

  • oh right xD sorry

  • [2] :p

  • How come every songle rage videos comments are about US politics? Enjoy the fucking music for a moment.

  • Because rage against the machine is here soley to spread the message that the american government and the politics are corrupt and need to be stopped. I agree with you though.. but these are just the comments.. Typically people watch/listen to the video/song before they comment.. And I would assume that just like I do they are enjoying the music and afterwards are probably motivated like I am to speak about politics :)

  • if you think yhis is good type commandov in search

  • COME ON, ITS POETRY, STOP DISCUSSING STUFF ON YOUTUBE. Just watch the shit, ok?

  • Nice speech, shame americans won't do a single thing or make any effort to stop the evil that is their country, administration and people from destroying to feed their own greed and ignorance.

    I just hope they go broke, or the world turns on them before they finish the job.

  • i'm american and i'm not for this fucked up government that reigns over this country like a dictator. i ALSO hope that this country DOESNT go broke, but instead can be fixed (though would take a LOT of time and effort at this point). it would kind of suck living in a 3rd world country that i didnt help to make shit. people seriously need to stand up for what they believe in more. what the fuck happened after vietnam?

  • Fuck You! No matter what president there is in the white house. America sucks. Its a shitty country. It isnt democracy. There is only two parties. Does that mean that there is only two kind of people? Fuck you...

  • But see the only reason why anybody would say that is BECAUSE of the spiral that we've had since Reagan. now the world hates us, and i dont blame the world for doing so. retarded republicans in my government have turned my race into a stereotype that i, as well as many other americans, am not a part of. its so ironc really. throughout history, it has seemed to white americans as if we couldnt be stereotyped, mainly because we've never been "put down" by another race. my people need to "wake up"

  • I have noticed that alot of americans are "waking up" to the tyrany!

  • I agree with the point you are tryin to get across but I think you could do it in a more... Loving manner? No need for hostility at all. only love can conquer hate lol. I mean you're your own person and have free will so do what you please but i'm just saying that anger and hate and cruel words should be avoided.

  • Hey mann that isn't true thousands, if not millions of americans are just like me and want to stop the tyrany of the government.. We understand fully what our government is doing.. We do what we can.. But we are so god damn gridlocked it's hard to do anything.. Our government has overstepped it's power and it's time for a stop! I think the people or should I say sheeple that you are reffering to are the blind brainwashed typical americans.. Who knows.. But me, I will do something.. WhateverI can

  • Your a crack head, you know that.

    But you are right

  • lol thanks  V(**)

  • no he's not. hes a cannabishead.

  • odd...i didn't know being rich and/or white was a crime (regardless of whether you think the administration is justified in its actions or wicked and deceitful). i'm curious what would happen to someone if they made a comment regarding any group of african americans as "every poor, black one of them" - i'm sure just me suggesting this idea is going to get lambasted and me labeled a racist for questioning what people say. its ok to question the right, just don't question the left.

  • I don't like the left/right thinking patern, most but absolutely not all of my ideas are so called left, but i think every party in a serious democracy should be questioned, all the time.

    If you can't deal with that, don't go into politics. they are our employees, they answer to us, not the other way around.

  • An ideal to be promoted..ideally.

  • well, thing is, there wasn't any black president. even if obama would be elected, which i highly doubt, he's not even pure black.

  • well he probably will get elected

    but hes most likely gonna get assassinated

  • In the words of Wyclef "If I were president. I'd get elected on Friday. Assassinated on Saturday. Buried on Sunday"

  • haha exactly

    sucks for obama

  • i dont think you can say zack was saying that being white and rich was a crime

    he was saying that the only reason they are the administration is because they are white and because they are the administration they have abused there powers and become rich because of it not that there is a problem with all white rich people

  • It's not a crime, but one of the themes of the song is racism within the US government so I guess he was trying to drive that point home a bit more. Besides he is questioning the left as well, he said every president from Truman on, that includes a few democrats.

  • they were rich and white,wat did you want him to say lol,and oh yeah,he's mexican so,buuttt,he's just stating the factss

  • Actually yes you are a racist. It's about the people who control this country. The majority of them are WHITE. When they create the structure of white supremecy this is what happens. Now what's the point of saying "every poor, black one ot them"? How did black people come into this argument? Is this some kind of high to feel superior? It's ok to stereotype the blacks, just dont stereotype the whites, right? Deal with it. Blame the system.

  • By stating that the majority of them are white then asserting that they [all] create a structure of white supremacy, you're stereotyping whites. I couldn't care less what ZDLR says...or anyone else for that matter. What kills me is that anyone can say anything about whites, stereotypical or not, and no one says shit. But if whites say anything about any other demographic that doesn't tow that demographics party line, they get blasted as a racist from every angle.  That is total bullshit.

  • You are missing the point. I'm white, and I feel a deep debt to every minority. Moreover, you better start listening to Zach and stop taking things personally, because your brothers are of no skin color.But your enemies are largely your own. They have all the$and don't give a sh7t bout ypu.

  • i don't feel a debt to every minority. why the hell do you? my ancestors weren't around during slavery, my ancestors didn't steal land from the native americans. my people don't make policy in this country. i don't pity the poor and i don't envy the rich. yes, discrimination against any demographic makes my blood boil...to include when i, as a white person, can't speak my mind for fear of being tagged a racist or homophobe or whatever if i don't tow somebody's party line. free speech is dead.

  • I dont really understand your argument. Your not racist, but you are sad that you can't say what? without offending who?

  • what i'm sad about is that if i say anything that doesn't tow a minority's party line, i get blasted as a racist/sexist. but any minority can say whatever they want and not have to worry about the same kind of reaction. thats the death of freedom of speech and it's bullshit. by saying 'welcome to my world. stop crying about it' regarding stereotyping whites, you're not interested in true equality. it's a double standard thats bullshit. being white & rich does not mean im racist or the problem.

  • And what exactly "tow's a minority party line?" are you speaking of illegal immigration? Because if that's so then maybe you should go complain to the white's that have ruined it for you. If there werent racist whites than you wouldn't have a problem would you? or is this the minorities fault too?

  • its ALL of our faults. there is racism from every angle. that zach basically asserts that being both rich and white is part of this country's problem is why i wrote my initial comment. yes, a lot of the muckity mucks at the top that fuck it up from the start are rich white self-interested powermongers. but the problem doesnt reside solely with rich white people. no one racial demographic is exempt from blame for (or responsible for) the problems in this country. thats all i'm tryin to say.

  • aghh the sound of compromise. By the way I will keep on saying this that our "social structure" is to blame. Never did I say rich and white or both are to blame.

  • nope...not sayin you said rich and/or white people are to blame. zach's comment about "every rich white one of them" is what pissed me off because not only is it an untrue generalization, but it also fails to really address the problem of corruption in government/power. But it sounds like we've come to a logical conclusion to our discussion. see folks, the debate process can work. :) and i will agree with you that our social structure is fucked up...and we're all part of it.

  • He was refering to the presidents when he said that, remember? The whole line reads "Every last rich white one of them, from Truman on, would be hung and shot". (anyone who don't know, Truman was the president during part of WWII)

  • i assume he's talking about the use of the a-bomb is why he thinks he should be shot

  • Correct, but the other presidents for various other reasons.

  • So it kills you that white's are stereotyped? That is one in a million. Welcome to my world. Stop Cyring about it.

  • I'm pretty sure by stating "every rich, white one of them," he is reffering to the line of presidents.. Being they were all "rich" and "white" I think he is kind of justified in what he says....

  • Lol, Obama isn't white :P will be interesting to hear zaks view on him

  • They command the masses, one of the best bands and De La Rocha's speech was great.

  • I used to live in coachella...now I live in wisconsin. I miss riverside county.

  • Please, anyone, did they play FUCK THE POLICE in this concert?

  • No dude they did not play it.I was there.

  • wow! rage, reforming for a few gigs, they better play reading or leeds! il go just to see them! amazing!

  • "...but the challenges we face, they go way beyond administrations. Way beyond elections. Way beyond every four years of polling efforts. Way beyond that..."

  • Coachella is an Arts and Music Festival Hosted in Coachella......

    Freedom Asta la Muerte

  • can anyody enlighten me and tell me just what the hell is Coachella

  • Coachella is a yearly rock festival in Canada that has been running for years

  • its not in canada, its in Indio, California at the US

  • it's in coachella,california not indio

  • Actually, it IS Indio, California. Located in the Coachella Valley.

  • Wake Up! The Revolution has begun- Ron Paul 2008!

  • lol i don't think he's going to win, imo

  • it's not about him winning, it's his ideas that we need to listen to, and eventually this country will change for the better

  • yeah i doubt that'll happen - but it's a nice thought. The country's too entrenched in special interests.

  • Keep the faith! We can change this country, it's starts with yourself and knowing that we can, instead of accepting the status quo.

  • This is why I will sell whatever organs I don't need to get to Coachella. First Daft Punk, now Rage. Awesome.

  • OMG! I didn't know they come back until I found this video. What a year!!! RATM and then Led Zep.

  • wish i'd been there. great atmosphere. stunning performance..

  • Bravo! If the dems wanted power so bad, it would seem to me they would get off their asses and impeach these thugs. They won't, because they sleep with them. My suggestion is,and it is a fantasy,but a Kucinich/Paul ticket would be what the doctor ordered.

  • REVOLUTION!!

  • It's true we elect them but they try to take control like they run us. We hold the power and they treat other contries like shit. I'm as American as they come but my Gov't is trying to wipe away the image that America was when our four fathers made it.

  • This is great! Zack is right. The revolution is here -- we will be free!

  • THEY ARE IMMUNE TO THAT BULLSHIT listen and learn to what they are saying, instead of spending time trying to distort it!

  • Zack is 100 percent correct. That's what SHOULD happen. Is that what will happen..the future isn't set. I hope they continue to make noise and rattle cages. I'm behind thier views 200 FUCKING percent. Also fuck Fox Five News organiztion,Alan Colmes, Sean Hannity, etc., and also Anne Coulter, Ted Nugent, Jane Fleming and the rest who participated trying to use propaganda against rage.

  • Fuck yeah! Thank you Chris Cornell for quitting Audioslave...best decision you ever made. Now we get our RATM back. Welcome back guys! We love you!

  • THE BEST GOD DAMN SPEECH EVER

  • i was out of the country and did not even know they got back together, thank you

  • I'd love to be there!

  • it's like they never left

  • yeah i agree with you tin67 i mean i like system of a down but they were political and ratm was the same but rise against come on stop trying to copy their flow

  • Shit he is awesome, finally someone who has informed political views instead of 'Pink' talking about crap she has actually no idea about.

  • a man of peace,he wants people he does not like to be shot. one and the same.

  • actually, what he is saying is that by the USA's OWN standards they applied to the nazi's @ Nuremberg, if they held their own leaders to these standards every president from truman ownward should be shot, like they did to the nazi war criminals. it's the U.S's own logic, not his. He's paraphrasing Noam Chomsky. Read a little. YOu're sayin the same ignorant ass shit Ann COulter sdid.

  • Fucking AMAZING

  • RAGE \m/

  • I alot of the other bands should quit copyin rage tryin to be political.rage has been political since day 1.i like rise against music but i get tired of them tryin to be.same with green day.nofx.

  • As seen as the Ann Coulter show. lol

  • when he sings, you can feel so much energy from just one human being, all his expression straight from his heart, its all real. hes a fucking renegade!!!!!!!!

  • alright i take it back i love RATM and they're amazing fuck..stop being so damn touchy they're a band they get more shit then what i said. ohh and i was dared to say what bands i like...ohh baby thats some scary shit right there...i like stone sour so go watch one of there videos and say they suck like i did and see how much i care..now don't reply fuck..PEACE!

  • bazdmeg ez kurvajó lehetett.

  • such an awesome band

  • one of the greatest bands of all time... brilliant, energetic, honest, talented, more relevant now than ever! love these guys... hope they record again. listen to the message christian freaks..

  • also saw them last night, best concert of my life!

  • saw em last night in NYC for Rock the Bells. Awesome show, I couldn't close my jaw when he gave the speech for this song. Too cool.

  • fuck you, fucking spammer

  • lol, MPChristian09, ya bitch, so tell me

    which bands are ok in your opinion? hmm?

  • MPChristian09

    you are not a musician, are you...

    I dare you count how many guitar techniques morello uses in their songs... a lot of them signature and unique techniques...

    be a man and tell me which band you listen to?

  • srr y but tom morello isnt that great he over uses wah, he songs are never very chalenging and generaly realy on using gimmicks, such as the song revolver, and many others

  • hahaha whatever :P

  • MPChristian09 obviously doesn't realize that none of their songs are the same

    listen to other modern rock

    they sound the same

    nothing sounds like rage

    listen to songs like mic check,

    and no shelter

    they dont sound like this

  • mic check is fukin amazing!!!!!!

  • yeah they do use the same format for every song, but they all got their own unique features, fuckin sick ones at that

  • Seriously people listen before you criticize, they have a lot of varied sounds and the similarities are because they play to a particular genre =P And their lyrics vary and if you look into them hold a lot more than what you think. Yes they are political and from the surface seem just generally anti establishment and all that but theres more to it. Look into something before you put it down, and btw RATM ARE FLAMIN AWESOME

  • you can suck my cock how about that?

  • its a good beat, lets see not criticize this band, maybe you should make a band with different beats, oh how cool that will sound..

  • uhh not really.

  • uhhh yes there fag face...listen to acouple of there songs at once...same kinda beat and same kinda story...fuck police and politics and shit..soo yeah really

  • LOL ok bud atleast they r adressing real issues, u could say the same thing about almost every band( singing bout the same thing) Girls, Drugs,Hardships most bands cover just those things atleast rage is singing about real issues moron

  • MPchristian09 is just mad cause he is learning that Jesus Christ is bullshit.

  • theres only fucking 2 songs that have RELATED lyrics to em. theres no band that in every song, there is a totally different sound. so shut the fuck up, cause you don't know anything about Rage, or any fucking thing

  • What a joke

  • MPChristian09 said: "all their music sounds exactly the same...same sounds and basically all the same lyrics." - This person has obviously listened to the same song over and over.

  • you know, that could have been an unrelated statement. Perhaps Mr. sorenbraybrook likes Red Hot Chili Peppers as well as Rage against the Machine. So.... chill out, such conduct is unbecoming as well as uncalled for.

  • ragee 4everrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

  • man wat the fuck,,this is RAge Against the MAchinE per forminag wake up..not red hot chilli peppers...fuckin dickhead..!!!!!!!!!

  • wow red hot chili pepper totally own, love this song!

  • I THINK I HEARD A SHOT!

  • vote TOM president

  • bad quality, but good song :P

  • a good friend of ours said that if the same laws were applied to u.s. presidents as were applied to the nazis after world war II that every single one of them, every last rich white one of them from truman on would have been hung to death and shot- and this current administration is no exception. they should be hung, and tried, and shot. as any war criminal should be...........

  • Zackdelarocha92, a simple trial will do for the current U.S. administration...off to the freakin' hague!!! :)

  • Workers of the World Unite! ...jk

  • great speach. the truest words to come out of anyone's mouth in generations. if I were Geroge W. Bush, I'd be scared because there's an angry Zach de la Rocha out there and his words are stronger than anyone's

  • It is an exaggerated way of expressing his true opinion. Sometimes the only way to get people to listen is to be blunt to the bone. You ask the men,women,children of iraq and afghanistan who have lost their revenue, their entire friends and family, their pride. You ask them what they would do to George bush. Bush is a coward. Some of those who burn crosses are the same that hold office.

  • Um..Jonarage, its Tom Morello, Zack de la rocha, Brad Wilk and Tim/Timmy Commerford. Shows how much you know about rage.

  • Hey, did you guys all hear that the earths axis wobbled 1/7000 of an inch when RAGE got back together?!!! Yeah, that's what I heard!!!!!!!!! That's what a physicist from CalTech told me. We're lucky the tsunami didn't hurt anyone!!!!! RAGE: The 2nd Comming(name of next album).

  • Hey squirell, I think the bottom line is that we can't sit on our hands and do nothing. It's time to take a stand, the government isnt even trying to hide the bull shit they are slinging. I say kill them all and let god sort them out!

  • Kill them all and let god sort them out? surely any idea of a onmibenevolent god would mean you would be punished for condeming human life?

    common people this is madness. rage are good band but there political message has been corrupted

  • bush needs to be tried for war crimes same with dick and his halluburon shit

    ron paul 08!

  • Rage have been my favourite band for years.

    But when i saw this video my respect was lost for zack de la rocha...

    He talked of a unjust and unfair system but really he is feeding the hate. Promoting "hung tried and shot" is sickening and really really not rage against the machine.

    Has his anger built over the 6 years they have been apart?

    damn its such a shame

  • zack de la rocha / tom morello / brack will /tim bob

  • When I read they came back together in the LA Times, I had an accident in my pants.

  • fuck the capitalism

  • Rage are back :D theyre so awesome!

    haha his little speech. "Novgorord (6 days ago)

    communism! "

    LOL

  • with that little word he said more than you with that "awesome". What an original comment. LOL

    rage is back and im glad. Viva La Revolucion!, Viva RATM!, y aguante argentina!

  • i love people coming on here thinkin they no anything about politics fuck off u twats!!!!!!

  • noam chomsky ftw

  • "Hung tried and shot"... hmmm... how about: "Putted in a closed cell and rottened to death"..? just think it's a huge stunt to threat the US president that way.. not because I like him (he's a jerk). but zack's gonna get in jail for saying that...

    but technically he says at the start: "A good friend of ours said..." so it doesn't have to be his own meanings, that in fact the whole stuff is a quote...

    ROCK RATM!!!

  • omg amazing...I love the crescendo in the live version after "I think I heard a shot!". Simply awesome...

    911Truth . org

  • communism!

  • we need a new album from them.

    we need some morello grooves.
