  • @rancidrancidrancid33 you're an idiot it's not all about moshing compare AC/DC's 2009 shows to there 90's shows and you see there's MUCH bigger mosh pits, STILL DOESN'T MEAN ANYTIHNG

  • Video - 7.5 / 10

    Audio - 4 / 10

    It's clear, but there's zero bass. It sounds horrible.

  • I heard they are doing a free gig in England for us getting them to Xmas no. 1. I soooo hope that happens!!!!

  • @lilsennitt for "us" getting them to number one ? a free gig in "england" ? you make it sound like you're american in which case you did NOT "get them to number 1" and yes they are, and i just applied for tickets about 20 seconds ago

  • why wasnt i there. wtf

  • this is the best gig i've ever been in my entire life

  • Communism can only work if two things do not cloud the views of the leaders

    1. Paranoia

    2.Greed

  • RATM For Christmas #1!

  • I cant believe I wasnt there

  • @OscarCousin I had the great privilege of being there. Second greatest night of my life after the birth of my son. RATM FUCKING ROCK!!!

  • Some of you people commenting about 'communism' are so deluded.

    Stalin's USSR (as well as before and after him) was essentially a state capitalist system, with Stalin (/Khrushchev/Brezhnev/etc.) as its dictatorial leader, with it held together by secret police and military strength.

    This wasn't a true example of a communist society, please don't claim it was. Those who say it is are merely parroting the pro-American bullsh*it they have forced down their throat from a young age.

  • This was the biggest sing-a-long or scream-a-long I've ever witnessed first hand. It was just incredible, 80,000 screaming 'MOTHERFUCKER!'.

  • rage were always famed for being hypocrites though, even in the bad old days

  • you have just proved my point really, If you look at communist Russia when Starlin was under power he killed thousands all under this delusion. Communism doesn't work there's always going to be someone above you, and people get more money than others because they should, i life under communism is a life with no ambition and nothing for you to live up to and that is no life at all in my eyes. Most probs the reason why communism has died in some of the countries

  • communism and socialism- very different things my friend, if you think communism has no freedom what about the wests idea of guantanamo bay, and the immigrant camps in australia and other countrys? there is no such thing as complete freedom.

  • i was only commenting on rage against machine and their fans not a start a political debate

  • dont write a essay about 'how bad communism is' and how great america is then, enjoy the music bro, stop digging at rage against the machines leftness, it makes them who they are

  • What i think is really ironic is that the fact that they have a communist star and communism has about as much about freedom as a prison. So therefore the band and everything they stand for is actually a complete contradiction.

    Tom Morello is actually really overrated, as his solos use effects heavily, which sound interesting, but make a simple solo sound more than it actually is, which is nothing special, really, in comparison to Metallica,who rarely hide behind effects. *waits for abuse*

  • thumbs up

  • No its the Zapatista Star, a group from mexico trying to gain justice.

  • Comment removed

  • the star is the flag of the EZLN. they are showing support for the people of chiapas in mexico. although the EZLN use it as a symbol of their socialist beliefs doesnt mean rage are communists. could just mean they support the cause. but i think they are socialists, at least tom is, axis of justice an' all

  • we'll some of Tom Morello's effects are done by himself without pedals n amp effects. But yea i think he is a tad overrated but he is a good performer =) n i no 4 a fact cause i was near the front during their performance.

  • At least, communism means that no people are killed for profit, no hunger would exist for holding the prices high (artificially). communism would mean, people would decide together, and not just who shall be their next corrupt, delegate.

    the only freedom that capitalism means is the freedom to exploit or get exploit. in communism, this is the only freedom you dont have, except of curse, hurting other people. just what i think bout it, of course criticising stalin and mao.

  • the only abuse i have to give is your inaccuracies about communism. its never really been put into practise in a full marxist form, most have either been heavily trosky, lenin or stalin influenced and because communism was first birthed in russia it had to be changed to suit their needs.

    Marx actually believed britain would be the first country to turn communist and if it had we might have a very different view

  • fuck u i wont do what u tell me!!! yesss

    seeing rage was amazing!!! cant beleive its all over :(

    but yerr reading 2000 and fucking 9 hear we cum!!!

  • TAK MOWILA MI CIOCIA!!!!

  • i just cant believe theres no pro-sots of this performance

  • there's a red star

  • why do i want this back so much? the time rage was on!

    im not even joking i smile so much when i see this, best band i have ever seen live.

    i dont think anything will top them this year, but whose to say they cant try :P

  • all the clever people were at festival republic watching dan le sac at this point

    lol

  • Lol I was next to the guy in the red hooide in this vid, just beside you I think..........epic night :D

  • i nearly got crushed to this tune at reading 08! and i wasnt even moshin lol. i heard that the site people let in 80 thousand more fans than the area was alowed to hold acording to health and safety. can u beleive 2 whole tents full of ppl pitched by us in g6 didnt come to see this??!!

  • 80 thousand more fans LOL. that's the biggest laods of bollocks i've ever heard. the main stage arena only fits 75000 hahaha.

  • so far the best experience of my life. i was in the wall of death... well more of I got pushed to the front since i'm 5ft 1 and female and got crushed like a rag doll..

    came out with more bruises than i could count on my fingers and toes =(

  • THESE GUYS WERE AMAZING!!

  • I went last year and ive got my ticked for this year but im not sure if it will be better as its rage and metallica vs radiohead and the prodigy

  • nah, the line up this year is SHITE.

    fob are just gona get fuckin bottled

    zara xox

  • Comment removed

  • i doubt anything will compete with rage. they were CrAzzY lol. i missed metalica as some twat broke into my car!! grrr but we have tix for this yr 2

  • I have seen metallica live, and there is no camparison. rage is the most engergized, angry band out there.

  • The headliners definitely are no where near as good. Arctic Monkeys are ok, Kings of Leon are absolute shite, but Radiohead are fantastic.

    I'm going Sat though, just because of The Prodigy. Best live act ever.

  • erm... yes... KoL are 'absolute shite' :s faaaaar better than monkeys anyday, especially early stuff. COCK!

  • Music means nothing? Anyone would argue the music they're into means something. I was expressing my opinion, and now you're just trying to force your opinion down my throat with no factual basis.

    I would say all of Radiohead's album so far have been good. See what I did there? Opposed your argument. Shock horror!

    You're only making yourself look like a total berk by telling someone across the internet to "sort their life out" based on their taste in music. Grow up.

  • lool i hink all the bands u named then are good

    system of a down n nirvana arent my cup of tea but i still have respect for em

  • Probably the best thing iv ever witnessed in my entire life!

  • screaming motherfucker in that amazing atmousphere with a surging crowd, but 3 or 4 rows from the front.. longing for the water people to throw some my way..

    thrashing like a mad puppy, and wittnessing rage

    has to be the most exhillerating thing i have even experienced

  • What a band. What a performance. What a weekend :D :D :D

  • no video on youtube does this gig anywhere near as much justcie as it it deserves, even if the bbc could have broadcast it it still wouldnt have come close, will always remeber the most elctric atmosphere ive ever felt

  • I was there at the front!

    my back got maaaashed up

  • This video gave me chills at 4:25...so fucking powerful with the whole crowd chanting along. Good to see RATM back together!

  • to anyone that went in the pits in the center, good to have had such fun ^^

  • I hear that :D Best place to have been

  • Does this mean that they are back together?

    No more Audioslave and Zack is leading them once again?

  • i was there!

    goodtimes =]

    x

  • I HAVE A PERMANENT SCAR ON MY LEG JUST BELOW MY KNEE BECAUSE OF THIS SHOW!

    I think it was caused my broken glass or something, i felt it happen, but i didnt even notice until i got back to camp, but that scar will be worn with pride for the rest of my life :)

  • i waited for 9 hours gradually made why way through the crowd (after anit-flag in the morning i went back to red camp get a drink etc)...omg Rage were so good...i was in the second row (first row and you get cruhed against the bars) and throughout rages set like twice a 100+ people (including me) fell over and had to get pulled up by teh bouncer people at the front...my god it was good... im going again this year, anyone else as well?

  • MEEEEE

  • I was there!! I got crushed at the back first section when people decided they had had enough and tried to get out the back. Was still the highlight of the festival tho! and yea ive got my ticket for this year too!

  • it was mad at the front, thought i was gonna die lol

  • i was surrounded buy 6'5 brutes i was shitting it were like this is gna be bad i thought i was gna die too man hahah fun times..i would of probably died if one guy didnt throw me through the crowd hahaha

  • u must be joking mate! the crowd was fucking immense at reading, there were bomb fires everywhere!

  • What? I've seen anything like it at Reading. It was crazy from front to back.

  • you kind sir are a wasteman

  • he is also a gay

  • Comment removed

  • great great!

    thanks foir post this :D

  • if i ever see a gig better then rage then it wont be real cus it was just FUCKING AMAZING

  • I think it was a poor plan to remain standing the whole day at the main stage... I remember praying for this song to come on as my felt bled.. What a liberating moment it was

  • i did the same thing but god was it worth it

  • best moment of my life ever:D

    right at the front!

  • how the did u not jump through this u must of been in a wheelchair

  • 5 people from the front!! I Was Sooo Hot! Steam Was Coming Off Everyone!! This Song Was Mad! Best Band At Reading '08 Easy. :D

  • haha was so fucking good live,

  • was right at t he front for these. dont have a clue how i got there. but it was the best gig of my life!!!!!!! thank god there back :)

  • this set absolutely killed. Highlight that won't be beaten!!! Collapsed at the end, but was so fun.

  • This whole set was just perfect i don't think anything will ever beat it. It couldn't of been any better. I think the only thing that could beat it for me is if somehow kurt cobain came back to life again and nirvana played a show. And i am 99% sure that something like that is ever going to happen!

  • i barely remember rage's set. i was so exhausted i was falling asleep on someone's shoulder in 1 of the quiet bits. so crowded in the middle i could do that. seeing rage will never be forgotten but never remembered in detail as far as i'm concerned. reading '08 was everything i thought it would be and it is the best thing i've ever done

  • omg want to see them live!

  • Amazing

  • I wouldn't call RATM one of my favourite bands, but seeing them at Reading was one of the best things I've ever seen.

  • sure beats Audioslave

  • everytime i think about this night i cant believe i was there. what a fucking night

  • I love the sheer irony of a crowd of ~80,000 people chanting "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me!".

  • gotta love the way rage start fights lol

  • One thing I LOVED about that gig was that everyone not only knew the words to every song, but they were singing along to the guitars!

  • RATM def had the best set at reading!

  • matter of opinion :)

  • Yup, your opinion.

  • I enjoy this video =) it makes me really horny!! k

  • yeh was front middle , they were incredible, and i found it funny becouse everyone was so pissed and everyone was singing along to the guitar solos somehow and stuff lol

  • I was there, was so damn awsome! Best band ive ever seen live! I never thought they would be as good live as there were!

  • MOTHERFUCKERRRRRRRRRRRRR!

  • Pfft. Most of you wouldn't have even seen Rage if their performance wasn't so hyped.

  • Shut the fuck up trying to be so individual dumbass, there a really famous band whether you like it or not, and everyone would have gone to see them.

  • When did I say I'm trying to be individual? I'm guessing you're one of these NME posers who turn a blind eye to other Funk-Metal acts like Primus and Faith No More (if you've even heard of them, that is) because they don't get hyped enough.

    So how good were The Killers and Pendulum them? I didn't see them, I missed them for the Manics and Feeder, two quality bands who I'm glad drew crowds that weren't contaminated with bandwagon jumpers.

  • No you fucking dolt, your trying to say that somehow because RATM are famous they were a worse performance? And what are you talking about? RATM aren't even funk-metal, it's rapcore. And also, i have the album the real thing my faith no more, who are also a very famous band.

  • And you act as though your super cool for watching these bands that nobody heard of, when really they are just as famous or were as famous. So yeah good on you, you judge bands by popularity.

  • Well first off, I love RATM and they're one of my favourite bands ever. Can a lot of people who were in the crowd for them at Reading or Leeds say that whilst being honest? I doubt it.

    Secondly, yes they are funk metal. Their music is a blend of funky rhythms and metallic melodies = Funk Metal. Do some research mate.

    Lastly, no I don't judge bands on popularity, but I judge people who claim to like bands JUST because they're popular when really they're just jumping on bandwagons.

  • Actually RATM say themselves that they are Rapcore. Look it up, and there really isn't any actual "funk" involved 'do some research mate'.

    Secondly oh so you were being a total dick trying to look cool that you know the band. It really doesn't matter if all of the people in the crowd are hardcore fans, they went to the festival to watch bands and also they were one of the bands everyone went to see in the first place. If you think otherwise your an idiot and your wrong.

  • Idiot of the week, i like the irony of you calling people stupid but you still haven't sorted out your spelling.

    It's "you're" not your. Check half of your fucking comments. Cumdump.

  • typical youtube angry people, your all arguing for the sake of it and you dont even realise it lol

    fuckin loved these at leeds.

  • Umm... yeah i like how all you can find one slight grammar mistake in my my long comment and then suddenly i can't spell. And if was going to be really fucking correct, it's a grammar mistake not a spelling mistake. You dolt.

  • why are you using conjunctives in written comments you dickhead. They are for speech when you cant think of what to put.

  • you fail satan

  • I was there at reading and they have been one of my fav bands since the 90's.

  • i left pendulum, it just got too much and was pretty samey, i only went cus slipknot weren't playing!

  • primus, faith no more, ratm, the manics and feeder are all famous bands. you suck dick.

  • you're a retard

  • So how is this week's NME then?

  • it was pretty lethal down the front for rage but i fucken loved it!! best live abnd ive ever seen!!! i wa sogin fucken crazy and singing every word with zack!!! fucken love em!

  • I couldnt beleive how good they were live! metallica were the best band of the weekend but rage close second

  • ive never been so amazed

    ahhh

  • i was in the middle up da front! i cudnt breath was gettin shoved everywhere punched kicked stood on . . . WHAT A NIGHT :D fuckin love rage!

  • i had an epiphany during this song...

  • i wasn't to fussed on them before, but since i saw them at Reading, they're AMAZING.

  • i was there. it was like the entire festival had come to see rage.

  • absolutely amazing

  • i was there

  • wow good quality thanks so much!!!

  • Reading 2009 is going to have a lot to live up to.

  • haha isnt it just

  • Gah. Does anyone know that ace song that went? "Oh woah woah oh oh ___"(Word missing), it was at Reading 08, by another band, don't know who they were, but whatever. That song was great.

  • R3Dood think thats 'away from here' by the enemy?

  • Oh my god, thankyou! <3!

  • worst singing/rapping EVER :|

  • fuck off

  • SHUT THE FUK UP YOU TARD FUKING RAGE PWN!! bet you wernt even there!!!!

  • I was there for the last song I had been watching a good band up until then :P I love killing in the name of but Live they were well shit. The guitaring was good the rapping singing was poor its true listen to it again its embarrassing.

  • this wasnt shit

    the sound on this video is, but they were amazing, and tbh they played killing in the name of twice so take your pick, and its a singalong really, everyone knows the words and most of that crowd werent dedicated fans

  • you listen to fucking PARAMORE!

    fuck off mate, if you were in that crowd you wouldnt give a shit, because that atmosphere was immense, i was over the bar at the front so go bend yourself

  • leeds and reading are practically the fucking same you retards

    crazy show, i was there =]

  • Im glad their back with Zack!!!

  • probably because zach was singing out of time

    on purpose but different nonetheless

    leeds can suck my cock

  • thats the kind of genius statement i'd expect from someone who goes to reading

  • Yet, Leeds atracts how big a crowd? Like half of what reading gets i believe!

  • leeds get 70,000 reading gets 80,000. if you werent fucking stupid youd know reading only gets more because the site is bigger. absolute retard

  • thats bullshit, there were far more than 70,000 at leeds fest. Dunno where you came up with them numbers.

  • urr no its not, In 2007, the capacity of the Reading site was 80,000[6] and the Leeds site was 70,000.[7] This was an increase of several thousand on previous years.

    shows how much you know

  • oooo get you.

  • lmao, what a genius response

  • I dont think they wanna waste their time

  • dude, you americans are the main reason this band are so angry...i think you've done enough

  • yehh, they dont play so it can be put up on youtube, they play for everyone there. I bet us brits who were there wernt complaining cos they were having such a good time, so shut up ranting and piss off

  • the best fucken live band ive ever fucken seeen!! i was actually right by where this is being filmed!! i fucken loved em!!

  • best gig ever, fucking loved the pits at the end of this song

  • was at the very front for rage it was fukin mental so i hit back into the pits during wake up.i lost a shirt,a shoe,my voice and broke my thumb during this set....best of the weekend.

  • that was so good :)

    i did get my fair share o bruises from the pitt tho.

    Actually the best gig ever
