That was before Bush jr when there was still hope.

[arnieiam]

i was so distracted from hearing triumph in the background

[labbern]

TOM! please take rage with you to scandinavia again!

[notor1ousguhmz]

[KudSlice]

[Doomsdau1279]

Uh no offence to the person who said that punks are degrading ratm message but Tom morello in the video effectivly called himself a punk lol and I completly agree with you

[Hardtack444]

GODAMN IT ALL TEH PUNKS WHO REDUCE RATM'slyrical message to "fuck the system"

[Caradeboi666]

I think the girl was Interested on Tom

hmm...Go ahead buddy

[Jboneburnett]

@Caradeboi666 if i was gay id be going after tom, smart, fucking amazing guitar player, HES THE MAN

[Caradeboi666]

@Jboneburnett If i was Tom, i would have sex all night long with this girl.

He probably did it \m/

[handmiadenofgod]

@Caradeboi666 Haha, can't say that I blame her ;)

[loko5555]

class war lol

[YXZ729]

mmm, i love how one of the most influential and recognisable musical activists is from "Libertyville".

[echoplex89]

@YXZ729

libertyville is actually a suburb in Illinois, it's where he was raised . Pure coincidence I guess.

It's kind of odd that Tom is a political activist because Libertyville is an affluent,conservative place. I think hated living there.

[policestory]

I love Toms shirt

[KillinGnatsies]

toms sittin there like "Fuck you 1 handed. I'll show your bitch ass 1 handed."

[camelotgeorge33]

hes from my home town libertyville

[1ex1uger]

Very funny listening to Tom Morello talk about his principles while ODB can be heard rapping in the background (RIP ODB).

[gabbeslabbe]

[Fressemannn]

tacke!

[nonnonee]

Tom Morello?

Los Angeles, USA

[bradyisbeast12]

he's not from LA actually

he's from new york originally but he grew up in Chicago, went to college at harvard (same year and house as my dad) and out of college he moved to LA where he started Lock Up and met Zack at a local club and teamed up with zacs friend from high school (timmy c) and brad wilk (he auditioned for lock up but missed the cut)

[MickOfThor]

He grew up in Libertyville, Illonois.

And he started Lock Up while he was in Harvard and shared rooms with Maynard from Tool, which then played in Lock Up.

[bradyisbeast12]

Yeah I know about Lock Up. Actually my dad was in the same house at Harvard as Tom. (Currier House).

[KnobGoblinsFearMyMox]

Sorry, he was in Lock Up with Adam Jones. Remeber Adam asked Maynard to sing in his band...

[joshcautley]

Hies from Los angeles but I think his father was Kenyan

[Phigure09]

his mom is irish/italian

his dad is kenyan

1st yenyan representitive in the UN

[MickOfThor]

And his great uncle/uncle was the first president of Kenya too.

[Philp1988]

usa his mother is part Irish and part Italian and his father is kenyan

[Justejeito]

som mna säger socialismen räddar livo d andra e som tt dö, men problemet is verige emd socialismen är att vi tar hit såna männsikor som muslimer som lever på bidrag ( inte alla ) när dem kan jobba alltså dem vill inte jobba så vi får betala för dem jävlarna!

[lobaxx]

Haha fan tom visste inte att sverige var ett sosse land då!

Hahaha tom doesn't know that sweden was a socilist country back then (unfortunatly, the right won the elctions in 06.. :(

[uzumakikim]

You are also form Sweden!!??

[joshman783]

i bet he nailed that interviewer lol

GO TOM!!!

[skaterpunk1144]

his shirt says "class war just do it" whats that mean?

[MickOfThor]

It just means that Nike is something that rich people wear and a corporation that supports child labour, and that the whole "Just Do It" thing is Nike`s sales pitch which makes his shirt imply (and rightfully so) that Nike supports class wars, which you read proof of in the beginning of the comment.

[RunningP123456]

this man speaks the truth.

[adiopunk2007]

sad cuz I wear nike sbs that I stole out of the store :x

[lilD1999]

Love Metal??XD!!!!!!!!!they should let those song be downloaded for free....i mean what if it ends up being a good song from rage XD!.......these guys know how to have some fucking fun

[TeenageVicious]

I wonder if he ever forgets how to spell defiance during a live concert, I know I would.

[maxistsocialist]

Socialism of the XXI Century is the only way to save this world. We have 2 options folks: Socialism or death of the human species !!

[Marvelrulez4]

You hear ODB screaming in the background!

[Zack6107]

hes a motormouth

[Nerva1Traianus]

He's explaining a complicated question about his political message. i'd like to see you concisely answer a question like that.

[skaterXboyX10]

tom got really pissed when she asked him in a real discreat way if they actually use samples

[WhatHappenedtoJesse]

Oh, yeah. He's furious

sarcasm

[wolfhowl15]

yea i kno, im just making a point

[wolfhowl15]

he speaks like he's well educated

[Cignal20]

He's a harvard grad.

[MShepherd88]

Harvard grad with honors, too.

[MetallicaMegadeth16]

Why is this song always so slow live? It's still amazing but I just wanna know why it isn't spelled regularly.

[donkeyfieldmouse]

My guess is that its easier or its more confortable to play slowly. It might also just be slowed down slowly by the band.

But ya, i've heard it a million times, but it still sends goose bumbs throughout my body.

[fearofthespanner]

dude wots up with the flyin trousers??

[TheDank1028]

hahahah you can here wu tang in the background

[THEREALDEAL95]

HAHA you can her the OL' Dirty Bastard that is 2 cool. R.I.P. ODB

[nestorkungen]

These guys are so f-ing great. I can't stress that enough.

[Andrew11381138]

tom has the best shirt i've ever seen!!!

i have it too!!!

[Leethermy]

in the official "Sleep now in the fire" vid you can see him without his cap for a sec- looks kinda weird

[mikesoffel]

iv seen tom so many times on video and pics but if i seen him in real life without his hat i probably wont recognize him.

[2007kills2008]

[hwaani]

No he's not gay. In that '93 video he just support homosexuals

[Hippiebackoroono]

actually he was just supporting gays, he's not gay himself.

[mis4tuneband]

wow they all look so young!!!!!

[giodoh]

attention! daveatx is fucked by hitler, like all nazi!!!!!

btw, i love the song, i love the band, and i love their political ideas!!

[zoyavonparis]

I where on the Hultsfred festivalen 1997..

[bagofrandom]

tom is really smart and really talented...simple enough

[billyn]

Libertyville hat! love it!

[LemonLimeinyoureye]

daveatx, you're nothing but an asshole neo-nazi taking away peoples rights for free speech...move back your right wing America, dipshit

[daveatx]

lemon, you're nothing but a stalinist moron who can't read what he types through the drool being splashed in your face from the keyboard....move back to Than Franthithco with your gay liberal anal-sex life partner, and leave the rest of normal America alone. Don't forget your spaz helmet, tard tether and drool bib.

[ZapatistaDiF]

Results 1 - 8 of 8 for "spaz helmet". (0.17 seconds)

lol daveatx I found another one of your comments on some site because you're 3/8 of Google's results for "spaz helmet".

[ZapatistaDiF]

That said, I'd like to hear an intelligent critique that expands slightly further than "ur gay and retarded lol".

[LemonLimeinyoureye]

wow im deeply offended (sarcastic)

MORON

[DreamerM]

This is actually a pretty good interview. The lady reporter seems to actually be interested in what he has to say, which is a rare thing amoung reporters.

[8182570]

gosh i love him and rage against the machine

tons of respect to him too.

I love the way he goes about and takes action. World needs more people who care like tom! and plus his creativity on the guitar blows me away dude

[xXbajenXx]

woho gooo sweeeden! =)

[pstce38]

love Tom's t-shirt :D

[robertstolte]

ODB from the Wu-Tang Clan is performing in the background...Wu-Tang and Rage toured together during the summer of 97...

[bjmalley]

Does his hat say libertyville or liberalville??

[ZapatistaDiF]

Libertyville....it's the name of the town where he grew up.

[bjmalley]

i know...

[headbangerjonte]

See you guys at Hultsfred 08!

[minodude01]

and ill see them on my CD player and youtube!

[RageAgainstIraq]

same here. YT and CD's

[DillonArloff]

I'll see them at Lollapalooza 2008! =D

[En3riix]

See you there dude!

[epiphonematt]

Tom is a really nice dude ha. I like his shirt a lot.

[costanzaman42]

Of course he's educated. You can't not be educated and make such significant music based on history, politics, and social philosophy. Also, Zack de la Rocha is a lyrical genius, and if you wonder why Tom "seems like an educated person," its becuase he is. He graduated from Harvard with an honors degree in political science.

[Muragle]

He Graduated Harvard.

[Muragle]

Wait, my bad.

I didnt read your whole comment.

[minodude01]

from watching other videos on youtube, i made this hypothesis:

zach is the revolutionary, stating all the bad stuff

Tom is the educated, showing the evidence and stuff

Tim is the funny one

Havnt seen an internview of brad yet

[Hippiebackoroono]

brad would be the quiet one.

[gearsdegera90]

he is not like those freak wanabe rock stars he seems like a educated person

[presty7]

even if he was, who cares? we like him for his music

[swidikrull]

is morello married or is he gay? there is alot of rumors around that.

[bagofrandom]

ur fucking stupid man whoever told u that is a big dousche bag

[nick4man3]

Why don't you all shut the fuck up.

Make love, not war.

You're all a bunch of sheep.

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

"Shepard lead me for I know not a path of my own."

Think for yourselves for once. Don't let the government, or Rage Against The Machine for that matter, form your opinions for you.

Wake up yo.

[mifutbol]

TMV!

[JEFF13ROBBINS]

stop wasting fucking retarded comments n bitching like 5 year olds. pay attention to the fcuking video and how insanely amazing this band is.

[RATMagainstbush]

fucking bad ass

RATM stands for so much in this corrupted world

[checkoutjestybeatz]

shut up you homo

[RATMagainstbush]

no u shut up fucking idiot

probably some pro American neo-con wake up you fucking mindless fucker

[MadFoot25]

Dude if u hate america so much... leave... we dont want you here anyway

[RATMagainstbush]

dude why are u even watching this video? There a leftist band. And also im not going to leave i never said i hated america. I hate the people that run the country. And oh yea im going to stay here cuz the fucking problem is here. IF U LOVE AMERICA SO MUCH GO FIGHT FOR IT IN A RIGHT WAY NOT A WAR WAY TO SLAUGHTER MILLIONS OF PEOPLE FOR RESOURCES AND SO CALLED "establishing a democracy" AND NOT FOR MONEY.

ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE

CHE VIVE

[MadFoot25]

so what are u doin to help that? posting comments on youtube? your just some posser wanabe-rebel. get a clue.

[RATMagainstbush]

no i am envolved in my community and im going up to the DNC in denver in august for my first large protest

wat are u a pot fucked up head fat ass redneck?

[MadFoot25]

lol. real cute. what are you protesting? ur just gonna reinact the ratm protests at the DNC a few years ago. poser.

[ZapatistaDiF]

"Dude if u hate america so much... leave... we dont want you here anyway"

I want people like him here. And if America doesn't want Rage Against the Machine here, then how did they manage to move millions upon millions of records in their duration? Speak for yourself and say "I don't want you here" instead of hiding behind a cloak of nationalism. And people like Rage and their fans love America; if they didn't, then why would we put the effort to change it?

[RATMagainstbush]

ture that amen

[MadFoot25]

lol. chill. im just messing with the guy.

[joshman783]

seriously where can you get a shirt like that?

[SPIRITWINGS77]

fuckin sweet!

[MarcusX06]

can hear "triumph" by wu-tang clan in the background

[RatmFan1241413]

isnt this on the 6th june 1997?

[evilempire96]

Nice interview, i want that t-shirt lol.

[ratmfan105]

thanks for this salva, nice one, im guessing you just got this in a trade
