ALPINE VALLEY - Rage Against Machine - Anti BUSH

[Zenjedi99]

wwwaaaaaaaaakkke uuuuuuuppp!!!

[Glenmead]

So that's why the BBC wouldn't televise these guys last year!

Well said ZAK DE LA ROCHA

Walking the walk and talking the talk.

[robinbrooke]

fucking ultra socialist dick heads. RATM ARE FAGGOTS

[pOOpsMy3rdEYE]

At least they make some kind of stance you dumb faggot...who do the hell do you even listen too....brittney spears? Yeah I bet you do cause her lyrics make you happy in your pants!!

[thenation1121]

fucking zombie i bet u voted for bush

[Gnarkillrubrduky]

i seriously hate when musicians and actors go political. Im here to listen to you music... not to hear you preach your politics.

[Matt200688]

You can listen to music without agreeing with someone's politics. I don't agree with everything Rage say, but I like the fact that they have the guts to stand up for what they believe in, and they use their music as their mechanism of doing that. I don't see whats wrong with that.

[bloodskid]

You fucking moron, the whole purpose of Rage Against the Machine is to express anti-political views against a corrupt government through hard music. Go listen to some mainstream shit where the songs don't mean anything, how bout that?

[mickcrackersss]

oohhh how alternative of you

[6369rd]

they're activists that just happen to play good music dumb fuck. go political? thats all there music is about you moron

[Guerillaradio13]

theyve been like this since day 1 back in the 90's duh :P

[buddhika216]

@Gnarkillrubrduky Then listen to the musicians you like instead of Rage. Isn't it the "freedom" you have to choose the band that you want to listen to?

[dadecountyhustler305]

Rage Against the Machine wouldn't understand politics unless it came in a Cheech & Cong movie

[422anonymous224]

You got a bullet in the head

[dadecountyhustler305]

Ill be waiting with bells on you little punk bitch pussy

[tl0202]

U are not a Rage fan clearly.. R u just tryin to start $hit wit people? "Tom Morello father Ngethe Njoroge, a Kenyan, was the country's first ambassador to the United Nations." (wiki) Prolly knows a bit more than most when it comes to politics, u think? I was at that show & it was very nice..Good luck to u friend..

[dadecountyhustler305]

No i DO like rage but I just hate when retards who know very little about things run there mouth acting like they do....

[tl0202]

who Zack De la rocha (the singer)? WTF u talkin bout? You r the one who post's they wouldnt know anything politico unless it came frm a "cheech & chong movie"? I think Zack could hold his own about politics.. Do you not think that RAGE knows whats going on with world/US politics? I also get tired of people talking about things they dont understand not to point fingers "DADE".. Your post sounds like you are trashing Rage, U say u are a fan then start explaining..

[dadecountyhustler305]

Dude I like some of there music but im not a "die hard fan". Guys like rage are the people who always bitch about the goverment but never have a solution to things,

[tl0202]

I believe you are wrong about "guys" like RAGE..your solution is more complicated than 4 guys from LA.. They are people trying to make the public aware of gov. & political powers with personal agenda trying to push their injustices on unfair populations.. They can not do anything more than spread the message.The message of people uniting and taking action against injustice pushed by people in power. The only thing rage can do is plant the seed & hope it grows, (tell people hope they listen)

[qualityrkc]

capitol punishment for corruption. Sounds like they have a solution.

[qualityrkc]

or do you just hate hearing that your circle jerk buddies like bush and cheney are crooks?Do you just hate the truth?

[qualityrkc]

seriously where do you people come from? I honestly believe Bill O'reilly just got sick one day and birthed you from his huge asshole.

[063405906]

hehehehe all my friends say im REALLY naughty and flirty. hehe *maybe* A

[sandyman882]

Fuck man, this was one fucking sweet night. Kick ass show

[iamVERYrandom]

Was this why they didn't let anybody film them at any festivals this year?

[mbvtx77]

wow...so these are the anti-bush people. all these people woke up at 4 p.m., smoked a joint and then went and listened to this garbage. i'm sure that they are all so informed on the issues of the day. they're just not sure what day it is.

[BboyJuNg]

hater

[xKaTyBrOWnX]

I loved this show ^^

[asthenia166]

anger is a gift

[ryno88]

When the riff came in... I went numb! I felt no pain from getting kicked and punched... until I woke up of course... But the adrenaline was at an all time high for me there and I can't wait for Lollapalooza to relive it all over again...

[dannyomanie]

i snuck down to main floor for this concert it was fucking amazing i only payed $20 to get in too!!!

[Nannerpooh]

that speech was fucking crazy.

[torressr3]

Fuck yeah.

This just became my new favorite band.

[billyn]

im a huge QOTSA fan too and seeing them open for Rage was like a dream come true for me. AMAZING SHOW! Drove up from Chicago and stayed at my lake house that weekend...i had so much fucking fun that trip i miss it everyday. The mud fights were so much fun too! man i miss it all!

wow...............

[Villageidiot84]

Zak should run for office. He'd do a lot better than any of the current candidates.

[Akira1422]

I had to plug my ears to drown out the crowd to hear what he was saying.

[mrp1nk00]

i was there..i heard it...it was amazing

[rayndgr8]

[dbenmil]

What year is this video from?

[StephenDaniel]

This was last August, dude.

August 24th, 2007 if i remember correctly...

I was there. Alpine Valley, Wisconsin. It was UNREAL.

[dbenmil]

Thanks!

[Akira1422]

UNREAL doesn't sum it up man. Words can't describe that night.

[dbenmil]

I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooove ZACK!

[jrasset7]

The man who trades freedom for security does not deserve nor will he ever receive either.

Benjamin Franklin

[dbenmil]

My second favourit band ever and I'm scared to death to go to any of their concerts. They are so powerful on stage and the crowd fucking go nuts and I'd probably be stomped to death. I'm surprised and happy that no one ever try to kill Zack for speaking out! I love him for that.

[UTEXASS]

the terriost the one who holds office in the white house revolution in 2009 i hoop that the play at dnc in devenr in 2008 it would be better then the dnc protest in 2000

[screther]

I remember this speech so well, it lives through my heart and the hearts of my brothers and sisters. Viva La Revolucion

[blueorchid69]

one country with nukes LOL. ignorance like that is goin to bankrupt our country with endless unresolvable conflicts. they are bleeding us just like regan bled russia but we are too arrogant to see it, and that is EXACTLY what the terrorist want.

[elgc45]

WAR CRIMINAL AMONG MANY OTHER CRIMES!

[anfronay]

yeah fuck you faggot dont talk shit about rage

[dirk87]

this concert was awesome!!!

[gizkoj]

Ever heard of the Mexican-American war? Prior to that, California, Texas, and yup! you guessed it, NEW Mexico were part of,....Duh, Mexico! So as d9280 proudly says, Mexicans ARE THE NATIVES! They've been there all along and have been pushed out like any other race community when the brute Americans come to conquer. Not my history, but this Chinaman certainly knows better than most of you 'Patriots' out there. Suck it Grasshopper!

[Distephano]

brafuckingvo man, thats the plain simplicity of it, native americans and and the latin people were in america first.

[cleeve]

i was fucking there as he said this shit. best show i've ever been to.

[d9280]

We Mexicanos are "natives" by all means. The word "America" comes from the spaniards. So where do you fit in?

[revo1964]

this is the best speech ever

[gizkoj]

MIKDFOUR- So you say Illegals are bringing down the country? Hey asshole, when they ALL leave, who will run the restaurant/food industry? Who will help build buildings? Houses?? WHo is going to babysit a over privelidged snot nosed brats like you while daddy and mommy are working? THEY DO!! We need them as much as they need us! Wake up dickhead!

[d9280]

That's right. Mommy don't got time for snot nose brats, suckas!!!!

[kcebulski12]

who will run the restaurant/food industry? 

Wow, what's more demeaning? Let's keep them here so they can work the shitty jobs that "real" americans won't do. You need to fucking wake up because you're the real bigot.

[gizkoj]

If you actually get out of your parents basement someday and get a labor intensive job, then you'll know! I worked alongside my fellow immegrants flipping burgers, mopping floors of buildings and washing Porsches for rich fucking yuppies to achieve my goals,and THAT is why I have belief in what I say. How could I be a Bigot, if I am part of the problem/Solution?? Go back to lip synching to 311, ya pussy

[Urbanfly1983]

sorry made a mistake it's not george hegel but Friedrich Engels

[Urbanfly1983]

read some books,i'm not communist but read the Communist Manifest by Karl Marx and Georg Hegel it's not a bad idea what they wrote!the symbol of communism is a hammer and a scythe

because the basics of the communism is to share

the capitalist power with the working class!

[Urbanfly1983]

mikdfour you talk about communism like it's a disease it's not a ideology that kills,MAN kills!by the way if you wanna talk about deaths America was the only country using the nuclear bomb!I live in Portugal a country where we had a revolution in 1974 and we killed a fascist government

without deaths what about that!eheh I live in paradise :)

[Distephano]

what are you retarded? there are multiple countries with the ability to use nuclear bombs and several others that do have nuclear bombs.

[Urbanfly1983]

yeah but only one country has used nuclear bomb USA.usa is a young country with a lot of ignorant people and thats why you have a dumb person like bush eheh is so fuckin' funny

[mikdfour]

By using those two nuclear bombs in Japan, we saved an estimated million people from daying in what would have been a protracted land war where both sides would of realized heavy losses. The foreign minister of Japan actually affirmed this a few months ago.

[hanstime]

the people need to be heard.........otherwise we will be held accountable for things we dont stand for

[hanstime]

they are watch "us" as in the american people....as in a democracy the voice of protest against our government should be heard.

[mikdfour]

It's kind of funny because 90% of this crowd has never read a newspaper, they get their information from some egomaniac with a mic. See that big red star on stage? That represents communism, which I guarantee you killed more people in history than 100,000 Iraqi conflicts. Conservative estimates put the number at 94 million deaths under communism. Google 'communist deaths'. Kind of funny how ironic it is.

[yota2jz]

hey mikdfour, that red star represents the EZLN. Zack is mexican, he supports the EZLN because our government decided to go in and destroy their villages and take their water and land and industrialize their villages. the EZLN fought back our pro-american industrialization turned into a backed US-Dictatorship. read how many mexicans dont want help from us, and just wanna live their lives

now, read a fucking paper, piece of shit

[mikdfour]

Right yota, 'mexicans don't want help from the US', that's why they cross the border illegally by the thousands everyday, sucking the life out of our infrastructure. The truth is, the Mexican government is the corrupt whipping boy that de la Rocha should be crying about, not the US. I didn't hear him say one word about Mexico, I guess it sells more tix when you are anti-Bush. Btw, I read three newspapers a day.

[Chorilin]

1st of all you Americans are the #1 exploiting 3rd world countries and 2nd of all, people do cross illegally and not just Mexicans, they don't suck the life out of you infrastructure, they make your country stronger giving cheaper hand labor and it is true that they don't pay taxes and so on, but if you would give them the opportunity to register they would.

[Chorilin]

so stop thinking that America is the only human raze who can have privilege on a certain land. Shame on you, stop being so fucking uptight and give more to peace and unity.

[mikdfour]

How does adding cheaper hand labor help a country? It helps corporate America, it doesn't help Americans. They don't suck the life out of our infrastructure? Take a look at our public schools and hospitals that are financially strapped because they are forced to offer a service to people who don't pay for it. Get in line like my ancestors did and come here LEGALLY, otherwise piss off.

[lawwid228]

big fucking deal you read three propaganda and lie filled snot rags a day and you think that gives you the intelligence to understand politics ? your just a backwards ass patriot with an ego.

[Faucht]

Shut the fuck up faggot.

[mikdfour]

kudos to lawwid and Faucht, you sound like two nutjobs who couldn't argue your way out of a wet paper bag. You get your facts from liner notes of bands, nice research.

[gspathis]

aside from that the fact that tom morello graduated from harvard, cuz hes a fuckin genius, i guess you could probably not be right at all

[Nanohead]

That was awesome when they did that, hope they do it again sometime.

[filthiestnotes]

TROCKI: u know what the fuck your talking about...

[mwmaki1]

I can't believe they didn't play "Know You Enemy", might be their best song.

[tomg5]

word,i was at rock the bells, they also didnt even play wake up, but i dont care.

[TROCKI]

The whole world is watching us.These "powerticians" are not scared of "terrorism"... they are scared of you. They are scared of the citizens waking up from the media induced trance and realizing what has happened and what will continue to happen if they are not taken from power. WAKE UP! That is what he's syaing up there on stage, and he belives it so much he is screaming it at the top of his lungs. WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAAAAKE UUUUP!!!

[tonygunshow19]

I'm so sick of concerts and their damn political, mainly anti bush crap. Just play your damn music we don't pay to listen to this crap. Anti bush, anti whatever, I'm sick of it. Pink Floyd, Roger Waters, did this too, and I was heavily disappointed.

[Nanohead]

Go to a Britney Spears show when she goes back on tour, she likes Bush.

[antrage]

actually in the case of rage against the machine people do pay money to hear what he has to say, many people were disapointed on their rock the bells show on the 29th just because zack didnt do one of his speeches.

[Californiasoul05]

Hey guess what....these guys's music is all about that stuff, so without that stuff...they have no music...and that means we're one less great band down in america and have to listen to the fucking bull shit that they throw on the radio nowadays...mindless dribble that suck zombies in for the major corperations and fill ceo's pockets with cash....fuck you

[tonygunshow19]

haha thankyou. yes i understand he has to say it because well its "rage AGAINST the MACHINE". yeah i know it says it in the name. so i support bush and side with conservatives, so what. im very against abortion. but its not even that its anti bush. its the anti political crap overall by celebrities and artists. and if rage is more about political speeches then music----- antrage ----- your admitting that fans think their music isnt good enough since they're not satisfied with just that.

[mytank2]

bush is defending the country

[Nanohead]

Yes because we're all afraid those mean Arabs are going to fly over here one day with their jets and drop all kinds of futuristic bombs on us right.

[Dumpsterbaby1991]

I was there. That show was sick. I couldn't and still can't understand what he's saying in this speech. lol.

[dfoxrocks]

i was there i lost my shirt,shoes and hat...best show ever!

[ziad1234]

i can understand u lost ur shirt / hat.. how the fuck did u loose ur shoes lol?

[littlem03]

that show was soo fucking muddy and nuts. i lost my shoes the next night at dave matthews band it was so muddy and shit

[tutani]

haha i lost my shoes even in a billy talent concert because of the jumping, though theyre not as great as rage. i hope RATM comes to Europe. there are much rage fans here too, its not fair if they only tour in the "great" terrorist-america lol

[analphabet118]

anyone... what is he sayin? or cus its a lot what is it about?

[eataknife]

i was there mofos!!!!! it was fuckin awesome!!!!! best band ever!!!!

[nuthinwrongwithpeace]

Fucking awesome! I wish I could have been there

[RATMagainstbush]

THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING US!!!!

[webbulator28]

That show might be the best thing that ever happened to me man...

[azoidZoR]

Zack for president!!!

[gijoe711man]

It's time for everyone to take a stand and say I'm tried these people don't represent me. The Christan Right isn't saving souls it's condeming them and they need to stop now. They don't represent christans at all. All people that believe me should stand up and say "I'm Tried of It". "Fight the War against corporate american Fuck the Norm."

[RATMagainstbush]

"IM TIRED OF IT!!!"

[FestImuch]

When it started raining during the encore (killing in the name), i almost shat myself. Then they pointed those massive lights straight out and the rain of MUDFEST 2007 was illuminated. Incredible

[chumleysaysso]

Amazing show!!! Haven't seen them since '93, and this was everything I hoped it would be. (didn't even mind paying $10 for watered down bud light in a plastic guitar)

[DowNINit09]

this show was fuckin crazy...so much pot and mud. u musta been like right by me. so does anyone know if the cameras were there just for the screens in the venue or do u think theres gunna be a dvd? cuz that would be cool as hell.

[lilburtonboy7489]

MUD!!!!

[holmanadvantage]

i drove from Detroit. the show was crazy i loved every moment of it I am also still covered in mud lol

[ggobes]

that was a fucking amazing show...some one should show anne coulter and the rest of those fucks at fox news this footage...it was a fucking amazing show im still tring to get the mud of me

[yeahfuckthat]

Damn Fucking Straight. Rage kicked ass.

[r3n0z]

i fucking loved that speech, it almost brought a tear to my eye when i heard it

great show that was!

[funk342]

this was a kick ass show.... never got to see ratm when I was a kid... now i did and I can die happy.

[Spiderwebb01]

drove from butler, PA. and would have gone farther!!! it was well worth it!

send me a email if you want pics!

[Nagol187]

I would like pics if you got them me and some friends drove from Fargo, ND to see Rage and it was the best damn trip I've ever been on!

[kristenkrofchik]

Hey! I'd like to see those pics too man

[Ilikepotions]

Drove from Toronto, Ontario, Canada to see them. fucking mud sliding and RATM WOOOOOO

[RagingCommunist]

me and my buddies drove all the way from fargo to this concert, this concert was the shit!!!!

[rifforus]

i can hear myself screaming "wake up!" how awesome is that? i too was down front and couldn't make out the speech live. thanks for posting!

[kdcmjk]

The sound was great from where I was. The venue wasnt bad, but the parking was PITIFUL! We didnt even move until after 2am, when the show was over at 11:30. The rain didnt help, but come on!

Oh well, it was still worth it, even though the clothes I had on will never be worn again! :)

[Halucigens]

parking was bad, but it only took me half an hour, plus im wearing my clothes,....they should be hung on my wall :) fucking legendary.

[KeychainLove]

rage against the machine are winners ann coulter and ted nugent suck and are losers

[illeagle0]

You kids want real political music that'll get you looking for the truth? Search for Immortal Technique on this site. Check out The Fourth Branch for a start. RATM is corporate. They got strings. They say next to nothing.

[crazmc]

oh yeah ratm are corporate.. they say next to nothing....Thats why fox news were broadcasting zachs coachella speech around the world and discussin how the band are a threat to the president. Hannity said on fox that the secret service should be alerted about this band you call 'corporate'. They say next to anything.

[sonnydbk]

I've booked immortal technique about 20x's. When he was selling albums out of his trunk (oh wait, he still does that.) He is THE BEST POLITICAL underground hiphop artist to ever come out of NYC and my favorite to see live. I'm seeing him today at Rock the Bells. Stay tuned for clips of video from that concert...

[Halucigens]

immortal technique is great, but i like rage way more just because it adds politics with awesome guitar, bass and drums. There both good....REALLY GOOd, but rage is by far my favorite.

[bren0158]

Don't front yo: as much as I love IT and his rhymes, he has 0 credibility because he is a SELF-ADMITTING HOMOPHOBE! A true revolutionary believes in equality and solidarity for one and all. The gay and immigrant battle is our current civil rights movement...and Rage is once again on the front lines.

[Earldemicus]

Alpine Valley was the shittiest venue I've ever been to, the concert outshined the place by so much, and Rage is still the best band ever, but seriously there are MUCH better places to do a Midwest show at

[everlast3000]

fuck bush

[Coventrey]

My sympathies to anyone who says this was the 'best concert they've EVER been to'... cause there have been some EPIC concerts, especially at Alpine. But this was a killer Rage show. The mudslide was amazing, the crowd amazing, and the music was brilliant, per usual. But hey Zack - the show was in EAST TROY... not Chicago buddy. I know it's been awhile..

[medekated]

east troy sucks.... chicago represent

[piratemcdaddy]

zack de la rocha is a bad ass mother fucker... that show kicked ass

[agregoire]

god that show was amazing!!!

[steinerrecliner6]

yo did any one get i video of wen the crowd broke down the steel fence right behind where i was cause that was awsome

[steinerrecliner6]

i went there it was so fuckin awsome it was so much better live then video

RAGE

[dcd1182]

good capture, thanks for the vid. best concert i may ever get to see.

did anyone happen to capture zach jump into the crowd?

[multirun35k]

i agree.. best concert ive ever been to but i hate that fucking venue.. the sound needed improvement

[ardx1]

god bless ratm! awesome show! it was worth the mud sweat and tears!

[wanktim]

i was soaked in mud sweat (mine and others) and beer.

the kid in front of me broke his ankle, but he was still yellin along with de la rocha

[bigwronk]

fuck u wanksteve

[LoganDoe]

Thank you for posting this.

I was right on the barrier, front and center (getting destroyed), and when Zack was talking, I could barely understand a word he was saying. The sound could have been improved greatly.

[mwmaki1]

Bush and Cheney war criminals? No mention of Al-Qaeda, Bin Ladin, those responsible for the genocide in Darfur as war criminals? Zach left quite a bit out. The politicians don't give a shit about people our age, 18-30 years olds. You know why, because ours is the lowest voter turnout demographic, believe me, until voter turnout increases amongst that group, the politicians won't ever be afraid of us.

[talentoo]

He was responding to mainstream news sources criticizing speeches he gave at shows earlier this year. By mentioning terrorists in that way, he would have diluted he points.

[d9280]

Yeah, Bush and Cheney. And Yeah, Al-Qaeda and Bin Ladin too.

[Rynodeth]

They should be afraid . . . We're the ones who'll resort to violence. Besides, Bush proved that the vote can be bought

[poimet]

That was the best concert I was ever at in my life.

[vaultitup]

this was the best rant ever fuck fox news for sayin they wanted to assasinate bush like he says they aint scared of 4 rockers from LA there scared of us

[Darkness2181]

This was the best show in my life. and I was on CRUTCHES!

[lilbanchero]

I think i saw you makin your way down that huge mud slide on the left lawn.

[echoing0comfort]

haha. I saw you! You got around pretty well.

[zeppelin2636]

you can see all the condom balloons flying around haha

[insertwords10791]

fuck.. this was the best day of my fucking life. best concert there probably has been in a LONG time, if not ever

[guerrrilla1]

i dont think its possible to get the energy of the concert in a video

[rocky6710]

Handsdown the BEST show I've ever seen. This show will go down in history. RATM still has is it!!

[lauralikewhoa]

we were at the top of the mud hill and saw the entire crowd go apeshit

[redmen1515]

one word: LEGENDARY

[lambeauleap66]

holy shit, when he gave that speech...the place went insane. that was awesome

[Halucigens]

Fuck you missed the stage dive, damn i missed that too when i was there, but i saw him in the crowd on the projectors.

[waylo88]

Gotta love Zach tellin' it like it is.
