Rage Against the Machine at Coachella 2007 Bulls on Parade

[Knepperify1]

He's screaming 'Oh My God' because the moshing was insane and he had never seen something that intense. I stood around at the front right stage, looking at all of the 15 year olds before 'Testify' opened the show, and I turned to a younger punk next to me, pointed to the suburban crowd and said: "They have absolutely no idea what is about to happen."

-

Testify was an awesome opener, but when Tom hit the opening chords of Bulls, the crowd literally collectively lost its mind. What a night!

I SAW EM AT VIRGIN VEST THEY R AMAZIMZ

[zeppwhostonesdc]

WHAT?!?!?! When, and where! (i hope they come to Baltimore this year)

[mastershake0505]

i th comment was old but the one of the stupides things i have ever read on you tube is when f33bs said If you are too busy doing stupid shit like trying to punch crap, then you aren't enjoying the music. Its ridiculous/ when people workout they take there ipods and listen to music and they might use a punching bag when they work out/and i dont think of it as moshing or punching each other but more as hardcore dancing

[derekkomatich]

F33bs, You fool, This is how people react to music, They get rowdy, pumped up, and push eachother? what's the big deal with that? they are taking anger out and are not harming one another. and the band not playing in 7 years would also add to the intensity of the people.

[F33bs]

Anger? LMAO! What do you have to be angry about living in America?! Oh fuck I'm so sad that I live in country where food is available on literally every corner, I have a car to go places, and I have a roof over my head. Why would you be angry? What the Denny's waitress didn't get your order right?

[namigw]

Well F33bs maybe it's because Bush's popularity is shit, because of his dumbass need to fight a needless war in Iraq. Try thinking next time dumbass.

[F33bs]

Iraq doesnt really affect the general population of the United States. I'd like to see how many of these kids would actually go to a protest.

[namigw]

That's probably the most ignorant statement ever. Doesn't affect the general population? So why is gasoline 3 plus dollars?

[F33bs]

Oh I forgot, it limits your ability to spend money. I'm so ignorant. Fuck me for not thinking about money. There are a lot of factors that influence gas prices. Things like Katrina and restrictive EPA standards make it a lot more expensive to refine which in turn inflates the cost of gas. But what do I know, I'm ignorant.

[namigw]

Uh huh. While we're at it why does Bush have such a low popularity rating? His invasion of Iraq doesn't affect the general American population huh? Yep news organizations don't run stories about Iraq everyday, that's all a blatant lie, right?

[F33bs]

I see, so basically you just want to make it all about Bush. If you want to deny simple economics, fine, but don't call anyone else ignorant. Not everyone lives in a black and white world. Sure Bush is borderline totalitarian and a hopeless moron, but he's not responsible for EVERYTHING bad. Case in point, gas prices. I support an alternative fuel, but I also support rational thinking.

[namigw]

I realise it's not all Bush, but he seems to have a hand in a lot of things. But you said that "Iraq doesn't affect the general population", well it does, and Bush is the one who sent troops there.

[F33bs]

But it doesnt, the only way it does, and thats without any sort of physical threat, is gas prices. Its not like people have to go into the military, so no one has to be over there.

[tk141]

F33bs, I was there, I'm the guy screaming "oh my God! Oh shit!" If u were where I was, standing still meant possible death. This crowd was going nuts during the 45 minutes of break b4 rage. I've been a die hard Rage fan for many years, so at their reunion, if I was just standing still and calmly watching, I would deserve to get socked in the head. This was shot in the pit, where u reserved ur spot over 2 hours b4 rage came on, We were all going nuts, and has to use all strength to survive.

[F33bs]

So it's not a little ironic that at a concert of supposed peace advocates, fans are punching each other? Thats fucking RETARDED. I'm not talking about jumping as much as I'm talking about moshing (what white suburban douchebags call hitting people).

[michaeltyefisher]

food may be available at every corner for you...but what about the millions of Americans living in poverty? think beyond yourself. fool. Canada is the same way, Stephen Harper is following in your pathetic country's presidents footsteps. The united States is a brutal country to live in. end of story, I'd rather be in the middle of a genocide somewhere, I think I hear your dollar going down, bye now.

[F33bs]

Ah so, the poor people have enough money to go to a Rage Against the Machine concert? Precisely my point, douchebag. They don't have enough money for a Rage concert. Meanwhile the white rich kids go and 'let loose their built up anger'. My point was WHITE RICH KIDS don't have ANYTHING to bitch about. Read before you post your meaningless sheeple drivel.

[namigw]

Never heard of middle class have you?

[imgooley]

ignorance, pure ignorance. if you want to pick a fight pick it with bush, not the U.S. if we were such a brutal country, why would there be millions upon millions of illegal immigrants leaving the third world to come here. go eat some maple syrup ya damn canook.

@tk141

-

I am 50, and on this night I was 46. This was one of the top 5 shows I have ever seen, and I have seen The Clash and Minor Threat.

-

The reason the camera is shaking is because most of Coachella was at this stage and the entire crowd of 50,000 were moshing.There were 7 separate pits in the crowd - something I have never seen, ever.. Parts of the crowd fencing (1.5 inches frame welded steel tubing) were bent or broken.

-

This was total insanity on a level never before seen. Legendary

[F33bs]

I love Rage, but I dont understand the point of shoving each other around and jumping and generally acting like children.

[StonedAgain118]

yeah i see children moshing on the playground all the time.

[F33bs]

Moshing? Come on. I say children because children are very rowdy and love horseplay. I dont know why people cant just listen to the music without hitting shit, its just pretty ridiculous.

[StonedAgain118]

no band wants to see a crowd just standing there, they want the crowd to go crazy.

[F33bs]

I would beg to differ. If you are too busy doing stupid shit like trying to punch crap, then you aren't enjoying the music. Its ridiculous, and its just another product of the sheeple doing whatever everyone else is doing.

[StonedAgain118]

it would be impossible to just stand there during a concert like this

[F33bs]

I could do it.

[Ultima526]

You would be teh first to get punched in the face then

[F33bs]

Yeah, that makes sense at a Rage Against the Machine set. Idiots not even listening to the music.

[cheappop]

The whole purpose of the music is to get you angry and pissed at the establishment. So in a sense, they are acting out, showing that they actually understand the theme of the music. I guess they listen better than you.

[F33bs]

If they are angry and pissed at the 'establishment', then why are the hitting each other?

[es540kickflip]

[KevwardKD]

this video gave me lots of chills, especially tom's guitar inro riff

[Sarabescque]

Look at the camerawork. The shooter was getting frickin' slammed every which way. Thanks man - I was standing waaaaay farther back at the time so it's nice to see what you went through.

[leeraconteur]

Dude, that was EVERYONE. Imagine 50,000 people slamming in time. The only way to get a clear shot was to get so far back that you would be 1/4 mile from the stage. Back by the T-Shirt booths.

Just insane.

Can't wait for that DVD so I can see what the crowd looked like from on stage.

[xxdesmus]

I think "oh my god" pretty much sums up this concert...I gotta see these guys live.

[torrealba84]

What we don´t know keeps the contracts alive and movin, they don´t gotta burn the books the just remove 'em. While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells, RALLY ROUND THE FAMILY WITH THE POCKETS FULL OF SHELLS

[chap1234]

I came all the way form England to watch this and may i say it was the greatest thing i have ever seen EVER

[leperkuhn]

I was there too - most amazing show ever.

[leeraconteur]

Yep. One of the best shows ever.

Watching the videos a week later, still sends chills up my spine and has my hair standing on edge.

Just fuckin' amazing.
