  • i really enjoyed amanda palmers cover alot

  • No no no....The Century's version is better.

  • this cover makes the original so much less annoying..

  • Better than the original.

  • Tom is the Guitarrist in Rage against the machine... Only that makes him God!

  • Is this a cover?

  • @offdutyjie no

  • where is the weird-ass solo?? Gosh, SSSC sucks!! I want Audioslave back!

  • pretty kickass video , and song <3

  • WOW. hip hop and rap rock group covering an artist sampling an english punk band

  • wohoo!

    

  • Love watching songs evolve. Strummer to M.I.A to Boots. 

  • I want to like it but I just can't.

  • Morello is immortal. Just like Keanu and Nic Cage.

  • I bet M.I.A loves this...and I ♥ Tom Morello♥

  • i luv how boots just stands there singing and making hand motions:D

  • *tom morello forever*

  • I didnt know that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson played guitar!?! lmfao xD jk

  • Hey I've got a question for people who know a lot about this band. I know that the vocalist is from The Coop and Morello (from audoslave / RATM) plays the guitar while the drummer is Stanton moore from Galactic, but who are the guitarist and bassist in this video and did they help with the album?

  • why so many haters??? i reckon its epic, turn it up loud.

  • the Clash are immortals :-)

  • @ditrii yeeeeeeeeeee!!! glad to see someone that knows whats up =D

  • ya know ive gotta say. they kinda butchered it. the chorus is ruined.

  • @patrickgduggan stfu you do it then you can say that.

  • tom morello is funky fresh. work that head nod.

  • buh this shit fucking sucks....this is right up there with Audioslave's cover of Killing in the name of....everything else i heard from this project is pretty cool tho....not trollin, just sayin, yo.

  • good cover

    i like it!

  • sounds like they're trying to assert their manliness waaay to much.

  • good the coup and tom morello

  • Which one came out first? This epic one or that bitch from 'M.I.A.'s' one?

  • Why did they not stick with the name of Rage Against The Machine? it was only

    Zack De La Rocha who left the band.

  • @toxicbiscuitj28 Social Street Sweeper is a totally different band. Notice an extra guitarist? Tim Crawford isn't on Bass either.

  • @toxicbiscuitj28 Because Tom Morello is the only member of that band in this one. Entirely different group of people, making a somewhat familiar to RATM yet at the same time totally different vibe. RATM was in-your-face about their political issues while SSSC is more laid back and with a sense of humor.

  • @mp3piratesavvy Wrong SSSC is just a in-your-face about political issues as RATM was, SSSC just has there music more laid back... Just listen to the lyrical content

  • @SPGameBroadcast SSSC's music might be in-your-face but the vocal delivery between Boots Riley vs Zach Dela Rocha is completely different. The rhythm section sounds nothing like Brad Wilk/Timmy C, and overall the two bands only sound similar because they have the same guitarist. SSSC's lyrics are just as political, but they are far more laid back. Boots doesnt scream like Zach does. However, Boots uses a clever sense of humor to get the point accross. Love 'em both but they dont sound the same.

  • @toxicbiscuitj28 because without zach, there is no rage against the machine...simple as that. real fans would not ever accept a substitute, as they shouldn't.

  • @oklahomandn49 totally agree, there's no replacement,substitute, alternate, varation, deviation, digression, comparable, parallel, equilivent, equal or similar band to the greatest performers and truly righteous activist for a better social reform than RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE

  • @oklahomandn49 yep. agreed. 

  • it's okay, but original is better, and the lil' wayne remix is fuckin horrid

  • The first minute of this video reminds me of a Morello's guitar. Do you guess which one?

  • The first minute of this video reminds me of a Morello's guitar. Do you guess wich one?

  • @pumx3 OOoohh!!! *raises hand* His epic custom Arm The Homeless? :3

  • How come Tom is in all these awesome bands?

  • @punguy13 Cuz he's awesome... Duh. lol

  • Tom Morello does not age WTF

  • @orsadam Cuse hes cool! ;D

  • @orsadam the funk keeps him young

  • @orsadam yeah, he's immortal, he's a vampire.

  • @orsadam

    he's the wolverine of rock

  • @orsadam Didn't you know? Gods are immortal.

  • @orsadam bald people never age

  • @realmenwearpants lol yeah clean shaved and bald

  • @orsadam He's 47! :O

  • @orsadam Proving yet again he is an all-powerful wizard. A GOD! Hah, Morello is the man, though. Just a legend.

  • @orsadam yeah .. he don't have gray hair-.... i want to know his secret..

  • PIRATE SKULL AND BONEZ :D:D:D:D that voice :D

  • the worst cover I've ever heard

  • Lol this music is like Flobots plus Tom Morello - the stupid indie passive-aggressive rebellion complex + the punk rebellion complex that isn't afraid to be what it is. Sounds great.

  • @PKFlashBeta Flobots are shit. Do you know The Coup? look 'em up.

  • WOW every single comment is @somedouchebag.... stop feeding the trolls people!!

  • @MrSuperfastguy learn to spell dick hole

  • @mrspaz45 fuck you Douche bag

  • @MTM9559 I LOVE CAPS LOCK

  • @MTM9559 ...No, a cover is a cover. Not a reimagination. That's fine, in my opinion. A cover is meant to be the same song, played differently. If you reimagine the lyrics, sometimes that's awesome. Here is an example of that. I was just making a comment. Why? Because this is the comments section of the video, DURRRRR.

  • love boots riley!

  • Hey Pops! Dig it hardcore and so glad to be making music with you and Gabby! WEEEEE:D

  • they changed some lyrics there...

  • They didn't steal this of the clash... it's called a sample.

  • way better than the original

  • Straight to hell ...

  • It´s basically just The Clash "Straight To Hell" riff.......I suppose a very few people know this.

  • @Kubino21 almost everyone does. This is a cover of the MIA so they aren't ripping anything off.

  • Come on Tom! Stop beating around the bush and teasing us...just make a new RATM album already! We're getting sick of waiting!

  • @kilosnew just because there's a dick in the room doesn't mean you need to suck it.

  • I think their referring to chemtrails S:

  • I clicked on the Orabrush ad 200 times! I don't mind commercials to pay for our music, but two and a half minutes???

  • TOM WHERE IS YOUR HAT?!?!

  • I was skeptical about this cover, but not bad at all. 

  • they're not trying to be like anyone. it's like a cross between the coup and audioslave. you can't really compare them to any other band.

  • @iwatch2muchfriends More like a cross between the Coup and Rage Against the Machine. The guitar parts of this band's songs are more like RATM than Audioslave which was more based on traditional rock.

  • oh M.I.A. you made a catchy synth beat? hold on im pretty sure i can make all those noises on my guitar

  • @RHCP10206 Id say you probably could, seeing as how that catchy synth beat is sampled from a Clash song; she didn't write it.

  • @Bush2007 haha well sir, don't i feel foolish now

  • Why didn't they just cover "Straight to Hell" by The Clash?  Much better song

  • @ncp10269 complete agreee

  • i don't understand how somebody can compare SSSC and audioslave .. thats completelly different styles of music .. but anyway i have to agree with liverpool3333 ..

  • Fuckin love Boots ;) Zach de la Rocha is AWESOME and so is Boots, and people gotta remember that these are two different bands they're just the based on the same values, and they both RULE! SSSC<3 RATM<3

  • Looks like luda.

  • yeah they changed the lyrics and completely defeated the point of the song. if you think the song's actually just about "bang bang bang and take your money", you've got somethin' else comin'

  • @popacapinsancho2 The MIA version is about the treatment of immigrants in Europe. I'm not sure what the SSSC version is about.

  • A cover of a cover now? why even make new stuff?

  • I think this is way better than M.I.A.'s version

  • @gezzed812 no shit lol

  • @gezzed812 and lil wain

  • awesome as hell :)

  • Tom Morello should grow an afro

  • @panhulio Tom Morello should do something for music, let alone Rock N' Roll

  • @panhulio He had an afro in high school. Look up his yearbook photo.

  • I disagree with those who say Zach De La Rocha should be fronting this band... His lyrical style wouldn't fit this sound... He is much more aggressive.... This is a lot more funky.

  • WHO WAS 1st 2 DO THIS SONG< MIA OR THEM< PLS TELL ME!

  • MIA BUT THIS ONES A HELL LOT BETTER

  • @TheF3R3RR0

    Thanx and hell yea!!

  • TOMS DOING AWESOME BEING IN MILLIONS OF BANDS

    LIKE HIM BETTER WHEN HE WEARS ONE OF HIS COOL HATS BUT THIS SONG IS STILL AWESOME

  • I saw theses guys lives, along with nine inch nails andj anes adiction on the NIN|JA tour it was an amazing show,

  • Is really weird read "Sendero Luminoso" in Tom's guitar, after so many years. Is not ok with the song, and their moment....

  • Wow,that solo makes me eat cereal

  • Street sweeper social club owns.

  • Comment removed

  • @MrSuperfastguy imo he's not even as half as good as zach.

  • @broodm Which means he is still of epic quality

  • @MrSuperfastguy but the thing is that this band IS trying to be like RATM. This isn't like Audioslave which WAS a different band as they had a completely different style. SSSC blends rap and rock (like RATM) and they have political themes in their music (like RATM), and they have Tom Morello's guitar style (like RATM). I think people are a little bit in the right to compare between Zack, and Boots.

  • @kilosnew Tom Morello's guitar style. YOU IDIOT THAT IS TOM MORELLO! Btw tom formed both this and RATM.

  • @MrSuperfastguy Learn to spell band then I'll give you a thumbs up.

  • @MrSuperfastguy

    BEND –verb (used with object)

    1. to force (an object, especially a long or thin one) from a straight form into a curved or angular one, or from a curved or angular form into some different form: to bend an iron rod into a hoop.

    2. to direct or turn in a particular direction: to bend one's energies to the task.

    3. to cause to submit or yield: to bend someone to one's will.

    You can't make a typo like that twice!

  • @MrSuperfastguy first of all the bands name is audioslave, second zack was in rage against the machine not audioslave smart one

  • @MrSuperfastguy bend???????????????

    LMAO!!

  • 30 People should have been aborted

  • Wendy's commercial copied from this song!! :O

  • Love that SSSC is not vevo thank you jesus

  • This version is SO much better than M.I.A's version. I'm surprised this is even a cover.

  • Wtf is this......

    What a fail hahaha this song is about the worst cover I've ever heard.

  • @TheMennoXD Fail. That's why I'm going to your house tonight to tie your mum up to a chair, blindfold her, slap her tits with my cock, then scalp her and drown her. All while jacking off and cumming on her face right as she utters her last words of horror and pain.

  • @Zmcluvin well that was a little much.

  • 30 idiots...

  • boots has the COOLEST dance ever

  • f**kin' sick guitar by tom morello again. \m/ ^__^ \m/

  • way better than the MIA version

  • @zagreeb no cornell is back with sound garden where he belongs. they are a much better band

  • this is sick, but yeah, I gotta agree with the guy who said the thing about zack de la roca. holy shit that would be amazing.

  • Check out the video for Jerry Joseph & Wally Ingram's version of "Paper Planes." It's a better version of the song, and Jerry & Morello look ironically similar. Check it out here on YouTube.

  • horrible cover

  • Thumbs Up If You Wouldve Liked Zack De La Rocha Singing This Song

  • morello rox !!!

  • sikkkkkkkkkk.

  • Weird seeing tom without a hat on...

  • hes a real rapper man dont hate. you cant say zach was as good on battle for LA as he was on evil empire. either way Tom Morello is one of the best guitarists ever.

  • j'adore un vrai bonheur,merci tom

  • I regret clicking on this video, by accident.

  • Damn good cover.

  • Zac on 1st verse, Boots on 2nd, snm

  • Boots is a better rapper than Zach and he suits the sorta music SSSC better, but Zach just has the fiercness and intensity that almost no other rapper has....

  • this is ok, could be better, people only really like it cuz tom morello is crazy bad ass, rapping is ok, and guitaring coulda been dope, but still a good remix

  • This reminds me of Rage, except personally I think its better.

  • M.I.A. should have been featured with them.

  • L.A.M.E.

  • LOL I LOVE THIZ SONG NOW LOL IT GOEZ HARD!!!!

  • Nice.

  • And I think if you were to look at tabs, it'd show up as A.

  • you guys only showed The Claw up close twice and why was he all the way in the cabin when you guys are in first class? haha

  • the only thing i can think about is how BADASS this song would sound if Zach De La Rocha was throwing the vocals

  • @soadrocker45 Zach De La Rocha's vocal delivery would not work with this song. Hes an amazing vocalist and songwriter, and has covered various artists on RENEGADES, but I just cant see his delivery being better then this. Now the song "GhettoBlaster", is another story.

  • @soadrocker45 i dont think u r the only one...

  • @soadrocker45 I love Zach as well but this song is excellent and Boots is excellent as well. I have to disagree with you you on this one.

  • @veritasEtjusticia i totally agree with you. Boots' voice fits better if Zach sang it it sould just sound too angry

  • @veritasEtjusticia My name's Zach.... Thank you.

  • @soadrocker45 The song wouldn't be so calm.

  • pretty badass
