Rage Against The Machine, Lollapalooza 08 WAKE UP

[DourCynic1]

If people try to break into my home & steal what I have 4any reason or because of my skin, they will be shot, thanks 2my Constitution. I thought Zack feel's that history taught us that whites rule the world 4evil racist reasons.Just when people are realizing that all this race crap is bs, a diversion from the real culprit (currency manipulation)he threatens an entire race & encourages youth 2violently take from people based on their race. Sounds like Hate Mongering, sounds like more of the same.

[DourCynic1]

Another reverse racist singing to all races, many of whom are white,blaming things on people based on skin color.Touting generic collectivism as he says what he wants freely&unmolested.Hanging out w/Nome Chomsky(rich off pentagon$ & sheltering his wealth in tax shelters)like Nome is Jesus. What a douche bag, I wouldn't b surprised if Zach works for George Soros. He's got nothing to say about Obama, the 1st black 2b elected 2such a high position ever in the history of the world, by white people.

[DourCynic1]

Putting me in a group based on the color of my skin, I know my family history.They never owned slaves, they moved as far away from gov as possible,& this hypocritical douche rich off album&concert sales tries to mobilize people based on race 2take from people who look like me!Like I'm responsible 4the actions of whites hundreds of years ago!?We'll see about that offer,cause I know lots of "folks"that will make any INDIVIDUAL regardless of race, attempting 2steal, an offer they will refuse.

[DourCynic1]

Any1 that tries to mobilize people based on race is engaging in racism themselves.Individual rights are the key to collective freedom,not property rights,not workers rights, which have to b implemented through force by a small% of men,the source of all world calamity.An offer we can't refuse?Muslim brothers?Muslims r more abusive&violent than the "white" apparatus.They r just more primitive,they didn't have running water or basic modern medical until recently.They blow up schools.

[DourCynic1]

I'm having a hard time finding a current vid of Zack on Obama post election. More troops in the middle east, another oil war in Libya for European energy supply that Obama ok'd & didn't even get a declaration 4. I agree w/Zack about the dangers of Globalism.But haven't experienced real free market capitalism in this country, even semi free markets let bands like RAGE spread their message.Not Communist China,Russia,Cuba.etc,&not Socialist Venezuela.His belief in collectivism is whack. 

[bpatterson5]

best day of my life.... I THINK I HEARD A SHOT!

[oiramasor]

@bpatterson5  i can't decide if i liked the coachella show or this better. They rocked both shows

[johnplatt1]

Zach knows what the fuck he's talking about.

[huaracheespuma]

toms not there :(

[jbudd]

I am one of those latino kids..... WAKE THE FUCK UP!!! BEFORE YOU ARE AWOKEN!!

[irgifted]

I want to see them live so bad...

[psk8tr8]

bradley nowell vs zack de la rocha.. who wins?

im mexican and i respect zack a lot but i say brad.. such a peaceful man. r.i.p.

[alloneword154]

@psk8tr8  I dont remember sublime being political

[squaredeyeball]

Listen to Alex Jones!!!

[spinandmarty]

i was there for this---with just a few other people...

[Elliott2000]

when they say whites they mean the way whites stereotypically act, like asswholes, theyre not actually being racist to whites

[Suey9o]

I just got goose bumps... and when are we gonna wake up? when?

[guzmane1987]

right when? i belive it b by the end the majority of our society is really dumb down

[Angelfuck6]

There not white Stupid asses!

Most of them are Chicano's

I know for a fact that Zackk is Chicano

[PidgeonGrape]

they kinda remind me of System of a down the way alot of there songs have messages and kick ass at the same time

[nate4twun12]

shut the fuck up killers798 you didnt start a riot cuz you are a pussy. i ges you had to be there at the april 29 1992, there was a riot in the streets, tell me where were you, prolly sitin at home watchin your tv, while i was participating in some anarchy. i dont know what you just said killer but fuck you

[20theresistance08]

participated in anarchy? thats not what rage is about their against injustices and corruption and such. their message isnt to get rid of the government but to make it work for the people the way it should

[BassBeast42]

he was quoting sublime. im not saying anything he said was at all right, but anarchy's pretty retarded

[pluck101]

FIGHT THE POWER!

[Gmoreno89]

illuminted lies are among us...2039103fkk0b2001911illimi­nati

[thekillers798]

You had to be there. The best show I've ever seen in my entire life. We could've started a riot

[menaman92]

hell yeah, just imagine the shit that would happen if he really cut the show early because of the fans getting all crazy and shit

[Raistlin13Majere]

At the time, if he'd asked us to burn down the city, I think we would've done it. There were riot police everywhere, but they wouldn't have been able to stop anyone if we really wanted to.

[pendevil]

I'm so pissed I couldnt have been there. Injustice. :(

[robingoodfellow19]

i watch this clip every morning. it really helps you put up with the rest of the day.

[Raistlin13Majere]

I saw this live and it was definitely the most stunning thing I've ever seen. I saw them once before, but it was nothing like this. It's time for Rage to come back again and give the masses the courage they need!

[annieyouok1]

i started crying, amen

[johnnyamerika]

May I also add that MUCH of the minority is white people also. This isn't about color or about culture. This is about rich and poor, those powers with money who did not earn it, but stole it from those unable to defend themselves, unable to have a true voice. Who will lie, kill, and steal, from the dying, the sick, anyone defenseless, to own and control EVERYTHING at any cost. Their racism and and religious regimes are just convenient for them, to control the masses with their own ignorance.

[mylesmedlin55]

rage fuckin rulz!!!!!

[jib3810]

Before the show, my friends and i were standing in front of these kids that were no more than 14 years old. I never saw them again. I dont think they really had any idea what was about to happen.

[shtucni]

zach, you are my voice! long live comunist theory and ideals!

[spokanj]

Thank god for this band

[centre1ce]

i remember listening to RAGE when i was a kid and thought they were just an awesome band! but since i WOKE UP a few yers ago, man! they probaby the most important band of our generation!!!

[MistAoI264]

yeah i saw them at coachella. hands down the best day of my life. when they came out playing testify the crowd went insane. i got tossed around but i couldnt care less. and when they ended with killing in the name of and 500,000 people were shouting "fuck you i wont do what you tell me"...magical.

[Rad1ka1]

Ratm doesnt hate white ppl..? You arent making sense.

[upbreak]

yo... rage against the machine.. what the hell do you want to hear? country songs pro war?

I am not sure what you are looking for but is not really anti-white..or anti someone, in terms of race.. is more about rage against the machine... the songs says it... rage against the machine and those that own it... if they happen to be purple he would probably piss on them too.

= /

[primusbadger]

nope, not anti white; rather, pro-minority.

giving a voice to the voiceless, thats what rage does, hence why Zack is doing it here.

[stopglobalswarming]

Somebody linked me to this nasty anti-white band.

[positivesecret]

GO BACK TO SLEEP , BAAAAAAAAA

[kinderwhore89]

they aren't antiwhite at all. in fact 4 of the members are white. and if you wanna know what rage is about then read the comment right above you. THEY GIVE A VOICE TO THE VOICELESS! THEY SPEAK FOR THOSE WHO CANT!

[scoopsdujour]

the four members are white?

interesting...

[kinderwhore89]

my bad 3. clicked 4 by accident

[halifuckinfan]

morellos black....hes not dark but hes black....zach and brad are chicanos

[razman93]

brad is not a chicano

[t00117598]

@halifuckinfan his not black his mixed race, half black half white.

[huaracheespuma]

@t00117598 hes mexican nd irish german

[Charkie10]

No.

[baxill23]

racist mother fucker

[stopglobalswarming]

Yeah RATM hates white people.

[kinderwhore89]

and you pathetic, unindividual piece of shit, this is the perfect song for you to be listening to. wake up jackass.

[oiramasor]

This was my 4th RAGE concert. I saw Coachella, San Francisco and Vegas. THis one was as brutal as coachella but i was lucky enough to make my way up there and film. I still carry few bruises myself but it was worth.

Long Live RAGE

[usfbulls51]

Lucky man!

[mangomanda93]

i went too. i had to get carried out of a pit by security. i just circled right around and went back.

fucking amazing.

[cmathew86]

Did you think this was the most intense? This was my first RATM concert and it was sick. I was all the way up in front too and it got way too chaotic. Awesome concert though.

[slipknotserge]

Shit you should have been there for coachella!!!

Now that shit was intense, i should know i was there!!!!

[TDreamer99]

i was in the front next 2 timmy c and zach de la rocha it was chaotic but phenomenal

[CaptainBazooka]

omg, I wish I could of been there, I'd give all my shit just for one song there... :(

[ChevyPowa670]

BEST show i have ever been too, nothing better then rage against the machine live in chicago!

[patman2223]

AGREED!!!!

[Phatality18]

Does anyone have a transcript of this?

[GNRfan1969]

SHIT MAN THIS WAS SOO AWSOME!...i was 40 feet away from the stage..i was there for 6 hours before the concert started it was like an oven...omg i thought i was ganna die in that death trap but this was worth the wait!!!

[connolps]

lol we ran into a guy that lost his shoes, shirt and pants and was wondering around chicago with 2 dollars that someone had given him for the train, in his boxers lol

[Rak1240]

Man, how did you hold on to that camera? I had to crowd surf out of the front row three times cuz I felt like my life was in danger... Best show of the weekend though! I loved looking for all the shit that I lost after the show and seeing pants with belts and wallets still in them... a cell phone or sandal is one thing but how do you lose your f-ing pants!

[nick25200]

I had to crowd surf out too. I only lost my shoe though.

[patman2223]

lol i did lose my shoe, during testify!

[usfbulls51]

lol nice, goign the whole show with one shoe

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

[wickermanx22]

God this concert was so much fun

[Phatality18]

This was epic.

I was 20 feet away from the first barrier.

It was insane.

[thefrail86]

I was there near the front. I saw guys three times my size bailing out and I had been waiting there since Brand New's Sound check. No water left, pissed in an empty bottle, got sunburned. I admit, I bailed too as I was about to pass out. The show was awesome but I missed a lot of it because people were getting just a bit too crazy. Call me a puss if you want, but I wouldn't have waited there half the day and stood through Lupe Fiasco to keep my spot if I was.

[thefrail86]

I even bought a new ticket for day 3 after security took my 3-day bracelet. Apparently fearing for your life is not a good enough reason to crowd surf to safety. FYI, NIN put on an equally awesome show. Sound was flawless and the visuals knocked Rage and Radiohead out of the park. This was the highest energy show though.

[blacksquidward12345]

true true

i went to see the intro of nin when they did march of the pigs and 100000 but then went to go check out a little of kanye but left because nin are so much better.

they really put up a great show much better then kanye or radiohead. ratm was i think the best though

[GeekusExtremus]

I was standing on the stairs. I think i got one of the best spots. THe front row got beat up from what i saw. So at least i saw them on stage and i was happy with that. I am more pleased to hear Zack's speech about Barack Obama. He must send em home. All home. From every god damn country. From Iraq, Afghan, Korea, Japan, everywhere.

Ron Paul 08

[NAWFMATIC]

whoever missed this has really misssed a show i got my neck steped on and dropped on my head this blew away any other show all weekend

[GuerillianUnion]

I was ROLLING and i didnt give up and bail out up front the whole insane ass time RAGE!

[ZapatistaDiF]

And I was there...the moment Tom's guitar started wailing after the speech, the crowd fucking EXPLODED. It was fucking unbelievable.

[ZapatistaDiF]

This is one of the longest speeches I've heard since they reformed. The Coachella speech was only about 90 seconds long. This one was over twice that length.

[ThePapaBrain]

The one at Alpine Valley was as long as, if not longer than this one.

[PrivateMalarkey]

hearing this song played live was the highlight of my life.

[Pacmaniacone]

craziest fuckin show ever!

[hoopla52]

wow, i think this is one if the strongest speeches I've heard Zack give!!!

[iwillsubyou2]

i wish i could have god damn been there

[ryno88]

This was the best show of my life... Aug.2nd 2008 Grant Park will never be forgotten by the city of Chicago

[tremulante]

what the fuckk!!!!!! please come to México!!!!!
