Big Day Out 08, NZ - Zack vsBush & U.S Administration

[nafethamuss]

I WAS THERE!!!! This speech gave me tingles

[Chaosprincess01]

It's not just the US. The World Economy is going to collapse. That's why I support Zeitgeist. Come join us soon Zach. We want people like you in the haven of humanity. :)

[jimipunkbitch]

Fuck this shit was POWERFUL. I was there and it made me wanna stomp on bush's head and all over Mt. Smart! best gig ever and Rage was on FIRE!

[VeroNevermind1990]

fuck the system they dont care about us they just care about the gold and oil and how much territory they can get i say we rule ourselves and i thank ratm for standing up for whats right alot of bands seem delusional im glad theres still ppl like zack around

[Jesusplant]

the whole administration during bush should be tried as war criminals

[sexioholico]

the power of one is more powerful than the usa army. YOU + ME= WE

[sexioholico]

2)As long as we keep on accepting their ways the world will keep on living under that control and they will keep in killing to make money power prevail. To isolate them is very simple to do. Just don buy their products and they won't be able to sustain. n lets stop calling them americans. America is a continent not a country. M chilean, Chile's in America so m as american as a canadian or a brasilian is. Don't be part of the united statian ignorance.

[sexioholico]

1)Lets isolat'em, dont support their economy in any way, there's options just look 4'em, let's hit them where it hurts the most. I was there that night with my girlfriend n we still think that we deserve a better world and usa must change or simply fall as a culture, a culture full of ignorance and lies and many other selfish things that we all know like stupid vanity and soul emptyness.

[CircaMay85]

I Couldnt Have Said It Better Myself Sanningos..... Let The Revoloution Push Strong.....

[ducatione]

I feel for you guys down there. Being robbed by big corps and the government. The trillion dollar debt left for you guys to pay and for the banks to enjoy !

[sanningos]

Zack is, or at least will soon be deemed as our generations Lennon or Dylan. I reckon that he still suffers when it comes to actuall production, but in the words, deeds and action he speaks what John would have said, what King would have preached or what X would have done!

[RocknRage]

hhaha true dat. who r u arguing with here?

[mrkennedy1234]

no one wants Hilary anymore and the few that do want to vote for McCain because there sore losers search up "Clinton Supporter Thrown Out of Rules Committee Meeting"

[mrkennedy1234]

ya like the webster dictionary, Finally something you say I agree with!!

[mrkennedy1234]

figures, well I must say we've had a good debate it's been fun to school you on the truth and get a good chuckle from your crazy redoric

[mrkennedy1234]

rock on? are you a pimp your the one who's a numb fuck

[mrkennedy1234]

you bring joy to my day thank you very much and it's funny how you change the definition of conceded. also the republicans that dropped out were in the REPUBLICAN primary not the general election McCain is in it to win it and he will

also did you hear that your boyfriend fedel castro endorsed your other lover Barack Hussein Obama

[mrkennedy1234]

you called me that all the time and i know what conceded means your a good ol classic lib you say something then you go into denial and take personal attacks you've got great potential to be a great liberal kook one day!

[mrkennedy1234]

communist fascists nazis what ever you call yourself I don't care

[mrkennedy1234]

It would be stupid to even take a kook like you seriously never mind take it personally and you call me conceded gee

[mrkennedy1234]

De la rocha is a nut I may disagree with you but I don't wish death upon you like you communist kooks

[rainking883]

Zack's right!!

VOTE GRAVEL IN 'O8

[NASA904]

This page pretty much makes a great case for imposing national service on these hairy morons, and those deluded idiots who post support for their views here. What you are all missing is the fact that you are ENTITLED to spew your shit, because we live in a FREE society, whereas the propoganda you are providing to the terrorists on a plate would lead you into a society where you'd be killed for daring to oppose the regime you seem to prefer. The irony of the "anti" war movement is pathetic.

[issamix]

... what a fuckin' analysis !!!

Have you even been in school?

[RocknRage]

Ther is no irony.Its not really Americas job to police these nations.We have our own problems, which our government can't seem to handle.The purpose of anti-war is to pull our troops out since so many are dying. The purpose of anti-war is to let the government know that 45 million americans live on no health care, the economy is in the shitter, and a middle-class income family can't afford to live like they used too, and the nation is in debt.The purpose is to focus on the issues of our country!

[Rat454]

whilst your correct its not the entire issue, its the US gov that uses bullying tactics to create wealth for the rich by screwing the poor. example the free trade aggreement with mexico. Those are the issues that RATM are passionate about. Who really believes that this war is to fix Iraq? Its about oil simple. Why isnt the US gov "fixing" zimbabwe? hmm no profit to be made. Any why dont they give a shit about 45mil americans without health care? again more money in wars in the middle east.

[RocknRage]

yea i know. I argue this everyday i can. They rn't makin enough to stop their own recession. I think thats funny. well im upset by it, but i laugh at it, at the same time.

[smialek316]

As long as we have a "market driven" health care system, there will never be Universal Health Care, and it is A CRIME!!! As long as the Pharmaseutical Industry is a billion dollar business, nothing will ever change. I lost my mother, and a friend of mine, because their BULLSHIT HMOS refused to pay for hospital care that making a big difference in managing their illnesses. What we need is people to be outraged by our JOKE OF A HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, and to DEMAND SUFFICIENT CARE FOR EVERYONE!!!!

[Tobbab]

after reading that i first have to say im really sorry about your losses.

second i feel sorry for your healthcare system its really ashame that yu have that system in the us third i really feel lucky living in sweden our helthcare system seems to be the best in the world which is free and is financed through taxes the system works

i guess were lucky that we dont have greedy drug companies and whatnot that tries to fuck up our ssytem just so that they can make more money

greed kills

[bappabuiebappabuie1]

i find it hilarious that despite a near 50 embargo, cuba's health care system makes america's look like a joke

[bappabuiebappabuie1]

near 50 year embargo i meant

[hellfirephoenix2099]

I love Rage and every thing they stand for, but to all the people on here saying that a revolution is coming don't get your hopes up. People can act so brave on the internet but when the opportunity comes they're too scared to put there asses on the line for what they believe in. Everyone is a man on the internet. But it's not entirely your fault. Are you aware that if you want to do a anti-american march you have to schedule an appointment with the government to protest them. PEOPLE, WAKE UP!!!

[manucalrad]

i saw rage at cochella and i think manu chao was saying more anti bush comments than zack.

[fluffyinablender]

I got squished right in the front. but it was awesome!

[mivec25]

Interesting discussion. I think we need to read between the lines, I hear that he is saying that george w is a hypocryte. Zach might be criptic and a bit troubled, but atleast he is using his voice. And he's encouraging you to do the same. Wake up- know the power of aggression.

[RATMagainstbush]

USA=EVIL EMPIRE

THE REVOLUTION HAS STARTED

look around u

che vive

ratm

[constanzza123]

u r so right!

[cabgt]

I think Zack mean't that he(Bush etc) should be hung as this is what happens to war criminals under international law. So he was stating the punishments under that law...mind you i'm sure deep down he wouldnt care if they were hung.

[cabgt]

The current U.S. administration is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths abroad. So i am also assuming you wouldn't have wished death upon Adolf Hitler too? You're entitled to your opinion.

[666soulpower]

Zack speaks TRUTH as the Bush goverment eats the mass like maggots. Its time to Wake Up and start a Revolution.

[213millst]

I agree with the dude, but lucky us we can speak out against our Government. For the time being...

[airsoftsniper4307]

soon enough if things keep going the way they are, the people will rebel and there will be a revolution. the economy is failing, we are loosing soldiers everyday, the rich keep getting richer while everyone else is suffering and the officials are doing things on their agenda not the peoples. soon it will happen

[drukqs2369]

all i can say is fuck yea and vote obama for president

[airsoftsniper4307]

yeah

[mortiisnemo]

ratm hav funded the zappatisa and many other causes for years with there royalties.they are the peoples band.the lyrics from there 1st album are still as relivent 2day as they were in 1992.Zach keep on using the profits of yr enemy 2 wage war against them.the mujahideen in iraq and afghanistan cud do with yr support bro,

[Smurfisnotblue]

Whoever says RATM have weak political views have absolutely no clue. These guys know more about the plight of the people than all of those bullshit scamming politicians put together!

[Playgat]

fuckin a brother

[JamesTheGoat]

yeah, maybe you got a point that they do good stuff and they do turn some people on to a differnt view of world politics.

my point is that theyve made big money and in doing so theve paid big taxes to the u.s government (bush and his chums). so the band arent totally exempt from the system which theyre so opposed to.

you joke about them refusing the big money but other bands have (including crass).

im not saying they suck im just saying they aint perfect.

[JamesTheGoat]

man, rage are so anti but they rake in the u.s dollars just like every one else.

if want music that practices what it preaches try listening to crass (it you can bear it).

[mac10shell]

zach aint even bout the money, money is apart of everything, and they arent "anti" just to be anti, its those who force us to be anti, so call it what you may but those what he said is for what is right, killing is wrong, using illegal ammunition such as depleted plutonium causing a surge in deformities and mutations, but only god knows and what he is doin is for the people and for what is right. but every 1 is entitled to their opinoin

[sssiman]

lol yeah YOU guys are the number one greatest powerful force in the world.

[esswell]

This is awesome. I love the political side to this band. It's like their lyrics actually mean something other than just one of chris cornell's love songs.

I saw them the last time they played big day out. The crowd went nutz that day. I went nutz that day. And I can't wait for friday because I'm going to go fucking nutz this friday!!!!!! and fuck the D barrier. they didn't have that shit last time they were out here.

[tomgarden]

bro why did ur video stop b4 he goes nuts??!? that speach was incredible but it made the rest of wake up fuckn amazing put the rest of the song on

[TwangGrunty]

Yeah i cant believe how incredibly fucking amazing that was.

[tossy]

watching that just makes me want to yell and scream all over again, that was a great night.

[mikemike2222]

I saw them in New Orleans and when he spoke during the wake up speech you could just tell he really meant it. Rage has to re-unite permanently!

[Meta1Head91]

Hahaha I saw this when it actually happened. Rage is awesome. Although I didnt get very close, it was still awesome.

[ajp82]

i saw these guys last night at the gold coast bdo, the most inspiriring live act i've ever seen, was almost surreal

[EnterSandman27]

Probably the best band I've seen live now, that was a great show

[Thelostboy808]

it was so empowering to be there

[dattorque]

whoever took that footage that close was very brave because i remember after that speech no camera wouldve survived. i bearly did

[twojawas]

He's filming the video screen, not the actual stage. Wicked footage though.

[Thelostboy808]

true it was soo intence. like i was just outside of the mosh D

[wajahatkhan]

Thank you soooo much for this. Was hoping someone would put quality footage of the speech. Definitely one of the best shows ever witnessed. Still can't get believe I saw RATM live. I few years back who woulda though :D

[metallix06]

Zach is so right.

this band is built on poitics they formerd to make the world understand wat they stand for

[Thelostboy808]

they were incredible live

[finalalert13]

There are people arguing that this sort of speech constitutes a call to arms for terrorists, and want him gaoled.

Fuck that shit. <3 Zach.

[Thelostboy808]

if a speech about freedom is class as terrorisum then we might as well all be put in jail for saying anything against the government like the nazi did.

[finalalert13]

I'm totally with you.

[MonsieurOiseau]

America's been on its way to becoming a fascist state for awhile. I bet someday it's gonna explode.

That was a fucking amazing show :D. They're a fucking smart band.

[chopsmcgee]

i hate politics in music

[reinecke99]

thats because you are a fuck head

[tubbywon]

hahah amen. Rage are the greatest band ever. Period. This concert was insane.

[freedomfigh3r]

i came!

[joeche89]

totally fucking awesome!!!!!

please come to scotland

PPPPPPLEEEEEAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSS­SEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[panteramad]

fuck this was a cool gig, loved this speech too, pretty full on.
