Rage Against the Machine - Down Rodeo (Music Video)

[yurikdurka]

conservatives, liberals.....all under the false delimma that one side is the answer and the other is the enemy. we need more libertarians and centerist/independents

and whats wrong with consumerism? its a crime to buy something? sheeesh

[TheseHipsDontLie87]

@yurikdurka A society without consumerism is NOT a society without buying. A society without consumerism is a society that is not SCARED and SHAMED into addictive and non-nourishing spending patterns in a futile race to satisfy goals that aren't genuine and can't be satisfied with cheap material things in a game that is rigged to pimp the NON-ruling people. Who controls the way we live: us or our possessions?

[mikeyume1]

cant waste the day when the night brings a hurrss.....

[boz168]

you should listen to them for the tasty guitar licks. no one youtube votes anyway.

[Xxmb050xX]

[angrykoopa]

[83Drunken]

2 people need a good slap

[Warrs05]

from which video are the first 10 seconds? plz

[Kevin4444D]

I can't think of a time where Rage's political views are more valid or important! The western world has become a totalitarian corporate plutocracy. Average citizens and workers are having their rights trampled. They cut services the poor depend on, like medical care and food stamps. They operate sweatshops in countries where evil regime's don't care about their citizens like China. They launch wars to rob nations of their resources. All so the richest people can maintain lavish lifestyles

[UninsaneRocker]

@simsonNirvana94 Dude Rage's political views are awesome.

[MrTwatmasterfleX]

I wish these guys would get back together. Fuck Audioslave. Its just not the same without Zack

[joivleag]

@MrTwatmasterfleX Are you kidding? They are together since 2007!!

[MrTwatmasterfleX]

@joivleag so Rage is back together? I thought Audioslave was still playib 2gther not Rage

[TheMasefase]

thier political views built them and thats what make thier music bas ass

[scando1444]

i thought he had a ford shirt, because his shirt looks like ford, but it says fuc_

[esotericgnosticism]

@scando1444 Do you know why it says FUCK in the same font as ford? See NAFTA!

But to be fair: Fuck GM, Kellogg's, Fig Newton and EVERYONE involved with pollution AND plundering of a people & THEIR land!

[H4RM0N1C5]

Exceptional video quality in all senses

[1991natedogg]

I was so fucking happy when they played this song at LA Rising showing love to the fans who love all their songs

[breadfann1]

4:10 sublime 

[EdwardSkye1]

If your not for their political views your against them and an enemy that he speaks of. I think you shouldn't be allowed to enjoy his music. but, opinions are like...

[help4343]

@EdwardSkye1

Is that how you feel towards those who have different opinions? Those that don't agree are enemies? Should be allowed to enjoy? What are you, a fascist?

[EdwardSkye1]

@help4343 Like I said. opinions are like...

[mimn123]

@infidelkillsalot  not rlly

[afhevh]

Just a quiet, peaceful, death!!!!!

[OfficialMrGarytv]

1 person is obviously deaf! (:

[AquaGiant]

Yeah I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun

These people ain't seen a brown skin man

Since their grandparents bought one!

That is the biggest slap in the face to us racist fuckers yet! Hope you southeners learned a lesson because this song kicks ass!

[jsshot]

@AquaGiant so if you THINK that southerners are racist then that makes you stereotypical. ratm forever, southern or a Yankee BITCH!

[OhRlyRly]

@AquaGiant

You do realize "Rodeo" is not a cowboy talent show but a street in Beverly Hills California?

[AquaGiant]

@OhRlyRly 1. I'm from California, so I do realize what and where that is.

2. In the song, he pronounces it ROH-DAY-OH not ROH-DEE-OH, making it obvious that it is not a cowboy show.

3. It is also "...rollin' down Rodeo..." not "...rollin' into a rodeo" or "into the rodeo" People should then know he's at least talking about a place not a show.

so YES, i do realize that.

[xpiecemealx]

Cant waste the day when the night brings a hurst! Classic. 2011 and this shit is still fucking kick ass!

[fullclip16117]

The last 35 seconds of this song is magical.

[eyetranceend]

You should listen to them for their political views. I never thought I'd see the day where fans of rock music are conservatives and consumerists.

[mxchump]

@eyetranceend You sir are retarded.

[kathrynk007]

@eyetranceend

Agreed.

[scando1444]

@eyetranceend when i first started listening to RATM i didn't listen to their political views but now i do and i agree with the majority of them

[akallstar5]

@eyetranceend wait, are you implying that rage is conservative, the wording is confusing. If so you couldn't be further from the truth. Tom morello is basically a confessed communist. He has a cuban flag on his guitar and a hammer and sickle as well. Also the pretty typical "anti-establishment" hippie like message tends to be relatively vague. Communism has NEVER worked, socialist western euro countries are in worse shape than we are. RATM could not have made their millions in cuba

[sirsquiggly]

@akallstar5 Agree with the Cuba thing but European people are actually better off than American people, even if our economy is stronger. There is a higher standard of living, better education, longer life expectancy, and more social mobility. This country has an ever growing rich/poor divide, and it's a real problem. No middle class means no freedom and equality.

[JoesTheShow]

@sirsquiggly Since its fair to compare one country with an entire continent. Not that I expected you to know what you're talking about since your're just spewing out some garbage you heard on tv.

[sirsquiggly]

@JoesTheShow Way to avoid any point I made. Ok, how about I compare the US to, let's say Sweden. Everything I said still applies.

[JoesTheShow]

@sirsquiggly True but that changes your argument. Sweden's got their shit together cause they don't allow immigrants.

[sirsquiggly]

@JoesTheShow I guess, but when hasn't America been full of immigrants? Every nation in the new world (the Americas) is like that and I don't think that overall immigrants have been bad in any way, it's probably our strength.

[akallstar5]

@sirsquiggly many fallacies in that statement, first there is less social mobility, because heavy taxation and the "nanny state" leaves little room for you to increase your income/quality of life. Also something "income mobility data" explains the fallacy of the deficit of the rich and the poor being a problem, the data shows that previously poor families got richer, moving out of the "poor bracket" leaving different and less "poor people" and thus a smaller share of US wealth

[akallstar5]

@sirsquiggly PART 2: Plus the US has massive ammounts of immigration replacing the poor bracket with new poor, as well as young people entering the work force. So, the people comprised of the poor bracket are different, and in reality data shows that that the vast majority of previously poor people leave that bottom 20% in less than a decade. Foreign countries do not have this because the income distribution is regulated, and they have little immigration.

[silentk59]

The guy in the video with the hat reminds me of Slugworth on Charlie and the Chocolate factory.

[illkeepyou4ever]

kwel lil tune-U.S.A is an always will be in S.O.S mode til we the people take tht NIGGER OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE!!!

[JeffreyJaffers]

@illkeepyou4ever You're one of the hate filled racists that drags our country down. You're also one of the reasons this song was written!

[sliverdragon88]

@illkeepyou4ever hahahaha you do realize no matter what color a person is the government will always be shit? now go along and pull your head from your ass.

[illkeepyou4ever]

@sliverdragon88 hahahaha.....burn the niggaaaa! this niger "BOY" likes sukkn nigger dikk.run along now JUNEBUG n go n comins the sukn.....o shit i need 2speak monkey 2this foo...dii dodo woo doe douu-thts monkey speach 4yea! hahaha

[sliverdragon88]

@illkeepyou4ever If you're going to type a racial slur atleast spell it correctly each time.

[illkeepyou4ever]

@sliverdragon88 wow i didnt kno i needed a phd...on fukkn u-tube....wat an educated idiot! hey idiot...pssst,its called txtn if u didnt kno

[ae1143txstate]

[rguerke]

Please steward of Rock in Rio 2011 will be in september, take this guys for there urgent, nothing against others Bands, but they're amazing and awesome !!! there will be many more people beyond previously !!

[MitchandNickGCN]

Thank you for making your own video. im so glad to see a great video thats non VEVO! keep up the good work.

[drosgort]

How you mean you dont listen to Rage for thier political views as well?? You dont know what youre saiyng...

[hotzauce7]

I love rage.. there crazy energy, there brilliant political views, there anger and energy hits you right in the face man!! very powerful and. one of my favorites

"f*** the g-ride, I want the machines that are making em"!!

[JesseJaymz424]

[RoyalREYES]

Lilithfrost is right if u dnt listen to theire political views u dnt listen at all EZLN

[xRaZ0r38]

Fucking groove in the solo !

[suckittwins]

the hook on this track is so fucking hard, i love it

[LilithFrost]

You don't listen to them for their politcal views? Well, then you aren't really listening, now are you?

[TheVandle13]

@LilithFrost ignorance of a culture turned this way by the "protectors" isnt new, the kid was probably brain washed to believe that their views are bad

[xXxMISTATRIGGAxXx]

"Fuck the g-ride i want the machines that are makin them" and "So make a move and plead the fifth cuz ya cant plead the first" are the best lyrics :D

[jdub86yc]

im rolling down rodeo wit a shotgun these people aint seen a brown skin man sinse their grandparents bought one

[Ronaldoo05]

like.

[TheNathan423]

i love some rage where did they go!!!!!!!

[TheVandle13]

@TheNathan423 zach left, audio slave got back togeather with chris cornell.

[Victorinox99]

The initial riff (chorus entry) is fucking amazing.

[FunkyPopeye]

What are rages political views? people say they are socialist, but if they are then why do they always talk about power to the people and not the machine?

[Ragmora]

@FunkyPopeye Because most people are idiots and believe that they actually have more rights under a socialist system.

[umphrekish]

@Ragmora People do have more rights in certain socialist systems such as Libertarian Socialism, in which there is no hierarchical form of "government". It's a full participatory system.

1 Person = 1 Vote (like a "Pure Democracy")

"Its proponents generally advocate a worker-oriented system of production and organization in the workplace that in some aspects radically departs from neoclassical economics in favor of democratic cooperatives or common ownership of the means of production"

[Ragmora]

@umphrekish Give an example of this.

[umphrekish]

@Ragmora Not sure of any examples. Not sure that there have been. Look up Noam Chomsky... There is a great 5 part interview with Chomsky here on you tube. Type in "Noam Chomsky explains Anarchism". This interview is particularly good and full of great info on Anarchism and Libertarian Socialism.

[umphrekish]

@Ragmora I assumed many Native Americans were anarchist in structure, and indeed after looking into it, i found that there were anarchist tribes in what is now California.

[umphrekish]

@umphrekish and many other tribes throughout the rest of North America for that matter

[Ragmora]

@umphrekish well one could argue that anarchism is a far right system were the rich have all the power.

[umphrekish]

@Ragmora I suppose that could happen in an anarchist system, but I am compelled to believe that once that happens, it would no longer be anarchy. Instead it would be something more of an oligarchy, no?

[Ragmora]

@umphrekish in all existing socialist systems (USSR, China,) people have less personal rights.

[umphrekish]

@Ragmora This is true. But, this is only one form of Socialism. The USSR still had a "Machine" a.k.a a hierarchical form of government. Same as China. China and Russia are communist in nature:

"The exact definition of communism varies, and it is often mistakenly, in general political discourse, used interchangeably with socialism; however, Marxist theory contends that socialism is just a transitional stage on the road to communism."

[umphrekish]

@umphrekish and regarding the transitional stage from socialism to communism - Being a socialist society doesn't posit that the society will indefinitely become communism. It's the same with Democracy. Democracy works, but it can become a Plutocracy, but it doesn't HAVE to become a plutocracy, which is basically what the U.S. has become.

[Ragmora]

@umphrekish Yes you are right, in the U.S. money has influence. However the rich are heavily taxed in order to maintain our infrastructure.

I was talking about individual rights though, not wealth and power structure.

[umphrekish]

@Ragmora A plutocracy none the less. This country is run by big business and corporate lobbyists. The government itself is a business. Look into what happened to your tax money the day before 9/11. Look into what is happening to social programs compared to big oil subsidies.

Regarding individual rights in all existing socialist systems: USSR and China were not socialist systems. They operated under Communism, and Communism is a far cry from socialism, especially Libertarian Socialism

[mikeb56]

@umphrekish What happened to my tax money the day before 9/11, specifically?

[TheVandle13]

@mikeb56 it went to shape charges and jet fuel, duh!

[umphrekish]

@FunkyPopeye I'm pretty sure they are more along the lines of Left Anarchists, a.k.a. Libertarian Socialists.

[eightbitriot]

Why would you admit that you don't listen to RATM for their awesome political views? Lame.

[southparkjrd]

These guys and Pantera were the best bands of the 90s!

[BiGGraff100]

At 1:00 I was at that show...Woostock 99...griffis air force base, Rome NY, July 99.....Motherfucking crazy set



[coolerow]

just think of RATM as "aggressive liberals" which is whats lacking in this country

[MrBeardpower]

Time to cull the herd. What r u doing to help your fellow man? 

[TheHell666yeah]

ratm rules!

[simpsonNirvana94]

@infidelkillsalot

Thanks man. I always like to here that.

[mcbtex]

These people ain't seen a brown skin man

Since their grandparents bought one

[juanl931]

LOL, JUST SAY THIS IS ANARCHY MUSIC

[BiGGraff100]

I Miss RAGE....pls get back to together...you were so far ahead of your time...Im begging.

[TheNuncFluens]

@BiGGraff100 They did get back together man, I went to see them just a few months ago.

[BiGGraff100]

@TheNuncFluens Thats so awesome...where? and how was it?



[TheNuncFluens]

@BiGGraff100 Santiago, Chile. It was the best show of my life. Here's a video: watch?v=NU5BM1LmVE0

[Khronepsis5050]

GOD I MISS THIS BAND!!!!!!!!!!

[shawn3975]

In Soviet Russia machine rage against you.

[Jygaboar]

Sick video.

[wargamer247]

I listen to them for BOTH. Im tired of ass shakin, bling bling, look at me look at me, Hip hop image. I been listening to Rock and Metal for the past 10 years now due to Hip Hop getting played out and the beats are soooo one dimensional.  NO REAL CREATIVITY ANYMORE. Just rappers trying to make a $.

[takausepainrebel520]

demockracy iz murda

[bererboy01]

i know that vibe from 4:48

does someone has the same??

[omarkhan860]

I'm rolling down rodeo right now and I can't get this out of my head.

"So, Now I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun

These people ain't seen a brown skin man

Since their grandparents bought one."

[MrDragoneck]

whats fucked up is that compared to other countries USA is one of the best to be in but it's a fucked up evil empire. this whole planet just plain sucks

[smac76017]

I remember coming out of the fog and seeing the USA for what it is. I was very angry, but clearly not as angry as RAGE. I love this band.

[kingdomafterinsanity]

love what they r capable of doing, love everysong,

[SuperRockstar5150]

This is music that i think will never get old. Outstanding job Rage Against The Machine for what you provided us with a combo of rap and rock that will never be forgotten! Thumbs up if you agree!

[KurtMcGowan]

I agree with listening to rage for their kickass music :) but their political views are also amazing.

[fpskirk]

@KurtMcGowan I disagree. You know they back rebel groups in South America that kill innocent people daily?

[KurtMcGowan]

@fpskirk I knew they backed rebel groups in the Americas but I didn't know those rebel groups killed innocent people. It depends of course whether they kill them deliberately or accidentally. In conflict there's always going to be innocent casualties. You can't really control violence whatever your cause happens to be. It's terrible that there are innocent casualties but due to the nature of such conflicts, it's understandable.

[KurtMcGowan]

@fpskirk Of course, some rebel's politics are often extreme and they start judging people too harshly without looking at all the details of all their lives. That's unfair. I guess some background research on the groups Rage supports is in order.

[drosgort]

@fpskirk oh yeah? Wich one? They suport the chipas and that is in central america for starts...

[nocturnezero]

@fpskirk The FARC comes to mind, which Rage has never expressed support for. They do support the EZLN, the quasi-governing body in Chiapas, Mexico (technically Central/North America, but whatever), but they've given up violent means and mostly try to prevent drug trade in Chiapas. Which rebel groups are you referring to?

[RatedRKingofKings]

@fpskirk A lot of people already did this, but there's always room for one more: RATM have expressed their sympathy for EZLN, a dissident political group that took the power by pacifical means in some parts of the Mexican state of Chiapas; EZLN fights for the rights to the land for indigenous men and women, and they fight drug dealing, alcohol abuse and violence against women and children off the Zapatista autonomous communities. Watch independent film "Corazón de Tiempo" so you'll understand

[RatedRKingofKings]

@KurtMcGowan That's a great comment.

[KurtMcGowan]

@RatedRKingofKings Which one? And that wasn't sarcasm was it? Sorry but on the internet its hard to tell people's real tone of voice! x

[RatedRKingofKings]

@KurtMcGowan No sarcasm there, RATM created some awesome music, but their political contents were just as amazing. So thumps up for that!

[drainmudvayne27]

cool, wake up is a awesomer song!
