Lollapalooza 2008: Rage Against the Machine -Testify

[smandin1]

This was the best fucking show I have ever seen!!! The energy was amazing

[blaaaaaabox]

This sounds like the theme song for Jack swagger

[bourland27]

20 feet from the stage for this and after, thought I had internal bleeding. AMAZING

[weeearthlings]

the energy... fuck

[LIVEMUSICJUNKIE916]

Craziest crowd I have ever been in, period! I fought all my way to the front, and thought I was going to get crushed!

[phishman706]

talk about some crazy shit, wathcing people piss in bottles and throw in into the crowd, some bikers on coke tried to kick my ass, got stuck in a 40 ft circle pit, kid in front of me got his arm broken. but to say i raged. cant top that shit

[Stelth2k1]

i will seriously pay 500 bucks too see them again best show i ever been to

[maserati1990]

zack is the best live vocalist of all time. you may argue for jagger or halford or whoever, but with all respect, they never fucked up a crowd like zack does every concert

waited, sweltering in the pit til they came on at bdo for 3 hrs, but it was so so worth it.

[bigmac1al]

0:23 joint spotted haha

[xiamfatx]

@bigmac1al it's a cigarette

[mhl026]

@bigmac1al thats a cigarette......

[hondahp18]

im no fan boy, but these guys DEF put on one of the best live acts in the world!

[tothehoopalex]

greatest day of my life also stiles!

[binder673]

Man I remember when those sirens starting going off everyone just went nuts.....good times what a fucking amazing concert

[ckyfan969696]

it's right outside your door, so pay for your ticket, class war ain't cheap

[starscream623]

suck maw bawlls bitches i was there some of the most intense shit ever. te crowd was a million times more crazy than what this video makes it look

[supersexystiles]

greatest day of my life

[321Green1Fork123]

The people backstage are just jelously looking down at the crowd thinking how much fun they would of had if they werent rich and payed VIP haha

[ThePeterson21]

@321Green1Fork123 there not even rich there just whores

[bourland27]

20 feet from the stage. greatest moment of my life

[ADDmunky]

Top 2 shows from 08 either this or girl talk

[menaman92]

@ADDmunky TOTALLY



[ressurection9]

I just saw them at rock am ring in germany, they opened with this song. Waiting 9 hours to get to the front of the stage will never be frowned upon :D

[tacosfims]

i was there i crowd surf there it was awsome

[ebMagnum]

Look at the side of the stage! Their guest list is enough to sell out one of my bands' shows! lol

Viva Rage

[totter2]

the soundboard at this show was the worst i have ever heard. Sound pockets everywhere and way to quiet in the right/middle. Ruined the show for me : (

[spinblackcircles]

most intense show ive ever been to

[jfurumo85]

Yeah best show of my life!!! Anyone else walk back thru grant park after? Remember how ppl would start random cheers and shit? every one was so amped after rage!!! they killed it!!!

[yankees1548]

Best show i have ever seen. Was about 10 feet from stage on the left side for most of it and about same for the NIN show. Both were amazing, but the RATM crowd was on a whole different level. I think it took us like a half hour to get to some open space after the last song. Wasnt sure I was gonna make it out without injury...would do it again in a fucking heartbeat.

[Roperz44]

at 2:10 you can see me up in the side stage thing..... i love backstage passes.

[nismo256]

Still get shivers when watching this...Was right up against the guard rail where Morello was saying...Pure insanity/Freaking Phenomenal/Experience of a lifetime

[oakraid83]

LOL is that a joint in that guy's hand at 0:30?

[hiv2481]

did anyone else notice at&t took down there banner before rage when on HA HA HA fuck you at&t.i was there and it was one of the best shows ever

[MajorHalman]

How much do people have to pay to get behind the stage like in this?

[adrenima]

$1,000,000

[Willferox]

@MajorHalman It might be reserved for family and friends of the band and crew

[waronice09]

i was there rough show but fucking awesome nonetheless.

[apancher]

i didn't have a voice for 3 weeks after this show. i still get goosebumps watching the videos from it.

[Stelth2k1]

@apancher same here man I want them to come again

[zxGriffin]

right there in one of the mosh pits... yes sir.... i took it like a champ

[stevieb6966]

bastard

[menaman92]

i almost died, totally worth it though

[cod5x]

@menaman92 my freind did to he still has the 3 day pass braclet on he never nook it off

[FliXeRoCk107]

I like the way there are a bunch of little kids right next to them and they probobly don't appreciate who they are

[ikenzorri]

i was there wooters

[PedroPaz777]

se eu vejo um show deles eu choro certo

[caddict69]

its all about the evil power of the empire in america......

[mffu]

dunno. was horribly drunk.

[mffu]

OW; once there was a reason to post on this ... nahits gone .... no doubt.

[mffu]

aw, id love to see viacom fcked up. i dont mind about reasons like "OW NO GOOD MUSIC POSSIBLE WITHOUT SUCESS" its all BULLSHIT. i dont klliike one of ya.

[SSaxdude]

I WAS THERE

[avondalehater]

Great show. Alpine Valley the previous year was better...Best band alive? Mud? Freedom? Equals best live show in the history.

[lordmeowmeow]

Both shows were amazing...hard to choose. But the audience breaking the barrier between the lawn and pavilion at Alpine was fucking hilarious. Everyone poured downed to the stage, and the security just let it happen. Hell of a memory...

But this one was great too, so was the RNC show...hard to pick. Definitely know that Rage puts on one of the best, and most poignant shows I've ever been to. Hope they do it again.

[Christoffski]

Good luck following that act. Hahah. Fucking kick ass.

[LedZep22191]

Come baaaaack

[trytojustify]

everybodys filming^^

[HotForWordsStupidity]

now that's a show.

[TruthAddic]

an air raid must be the sickest opening. best zack moves 4:46.

[rush4321]

check out King & Pharaoh interviewing the people of Lollapalooza 2009. the preview is up!

[thegodswan]

''The show was stopped 3 times due to violence in the mosh pit.''

godDamn guys, Rage against is COCAINE

[skylineturnstile]

right upfront...craziest shit ever experianced

[tastytoast666]

no fuck rise against. everyones going to see tool.

[ntgreenen]

tool plays after

[TeamZissou88]

300 yards for the stage.... fucking best concert i ever went to.

[krentistthedentist]

this was...insane. I was pretty far back at first too, and it was still a total madhouse

[majog001]

I went to see Lupe right before Rage and right after everyone pushed all the way to the front..i was 100 feet dead center from Rage...ugh just amazing. can't wait for this year

[bcot95]

1 year anniversary

[Chi26trojans]

I've never been to lalapalooza before, but im going this year for rise against. Is it hard to make your way to as close to the front as possible? cuz i saw rise against last month at summerfest an managed after a couple hours to make my way to the very front row but this looks more crowed..

[SpencerC]

Never been to Lollapalooza (I live in England lol) but I think the same theory works for any gig. Cut in the crowd from the corner, not from the back. Its much easier to cut in front of people that way. It worked for when i saw Muse! Got 2 rows from the barrier!!

[Rainofdeath]

its also good to go somewhat early and just wonder in to the front while a not so famous band is playing I did that for KoRn and got to the front :) and I stayed my ground cuz it got pretty rough I think someone hit me on the head :(

[Chi26trojans]

Ya thats what i wannado, cept ths year my friends are taking me.. they went to me with summerfest too, and they didnt wanna wait around for a long time to get to the front. so i decided to ditch them, and go to the front by myself which took awhile, while they stayed off to the side. thing is this year since they are taking us, they pretty much decide what time we get there and all that stuff, and seeing how they didnt wanna get there early at summerfest i doubt they will here :(

[Rainofdeath]

Aw that sucks This will be my first time to Lolla too and I just realized that since there are going to be so many stages it would be even more difficult oh well hopefully though you have fun :)

[krentistthedentist]

Rise Against is going up against TV on The Radio. While Rise Against is generally a bigger name, the Lollapalooza crowd is more likely to come out for TV on the Radio. All things considered if you REALLY want to you can get right up there for rise against

[camdizzle178]

where do they have pictures of the show? i wanna see them cuz i was there, it was amazing...

[Asteris123]

this was such a good moment in my life. Can't wait for tool this year!

[apancher]

same here. i was at this show, and will be seeing tool. RATM 4 LIFE

[johnisredhot]

I tear up reliving this show sometimes

[mjb0]

how could i get info on new rage concerts coming up up?

[305thODST]

That's easy - there are none.

[Phillip594]

Must...go...to...2009..Lollapa­looza!

[gnarly6154]

wont be nearly as good as 2008 but lolla fucking owns~

[rldjsegura]

what u mean fool? lol. tool gonna kick ass. btw, my brother and his gf passed out in front row. had to be pulled out. me an my gf just moved back a little. lol

[hoggitzu]

too bad Tool sucks ass

[pOOpsMy3rdEYE]

You are a dumbass....Tool is one of the best bands ever and will blow your mind away live....Please go back to listening to your Britany Spears records and stop commenting!!!

[HoracioGo15]

i agree..there 2 depressing to enjoy..

[shredderdude13]

Im totaly fgoing this year!

[Nypimp365]

hands down best show of the weekend

[NotsoJollyHolly726]

omg yes! I was there my first rage concert!

pissed though it had to be stopped numerous times. :(

[rockracso]

RATM the world needs your music!!!!

[KevinNiveK15]

son una mierda de audiencia, de publico, saltan 3 gatos locos, si RATM viniera a la argentina llena River y saltan todos y rompen todooooo!!!

RAAAAAGEEE VENII A LA ARGENTINAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[ninawoker]

complejo de "argentinos somos el mejor publico del mundo", te cuento que este show es parte de un festival, no es un concierto exclusivo de ellos, por eso habia mucho infliltrado q no tenia idea de la banda ...., pero eso no los hace una mierda de audiencia y estoy segura que en mexico o california Rage tiene audencia mucho mas fiel que en argentina .... repudio la arrogancia del argentino, ( y soy argentina)

[ledzeppelin6810]

my favorite concert of all time... insane, i want to see rage again

[thISxTHplacE]

oh my god I know. I almost shit my pants. it was sweet as fuck. too bad they broke up..

[psychoninja911]

WTF they broke up?

Why would they do that?

I still haven't had the chance to go see them.

[thISxTHplacE]

I don't know. it was bs. they still do festivals tho. Take Lolla for example

[psychoninja911]

I like rock music and all... But most of my motivation would be their political standpoint.

Evidently, at many of these shows, the police show us themselves: -the corruption our government has. Opening up tear gas/rubber bullets on an unarmed crowd.

Don't cut down, GE, they help fund our jets we used to invade other countries. Heaven forbid someone parts from the rest of the zombies, with a brain, and voices their mind. I wish my family would run away from this with me...

[Likkito121]

they are still together, man ...

[thISxTHplacE]

No they're not. They broke up in 2000.

Lead singer is doin his own project now, it's called "One day as a Lion" or something like it. I think Tom Morello went to Audioslave...not sure about that one though.

[Likkito121]

but they said that they were going to perform only on live and didn't had plans for new musics ... that's what i heard

[mtndew999]

Everyone but Zach joined Audioslave, and the lead singer was Chris Cornell from Soundgarden.

[ranveer500]

audioslave broke up, rage is back they in side project but they didn't said they;ll be doing alot of live shows

[RATMagainstbush8]

ever heard of Street Sweeper Social Club (tom morello's new project) or One Day As A Lion (Zack's new project)???

[Unleashed2k]

saw SSSC live, met boots riley and shook hands with tom morello

[RATMagainstbush8]

well no shit

[FierceResolve]

Fuck, I wanted to get into the mosh so bad...

[RoadsSML]

the best band of rebel music fuck normal life let's chage the world

[ChiSox2386]

this show was amazing. i was prob 20 feet from the stage. the only problem with this show was that MANY people had no idea what they were getting themselves into. i saw a few soccer moms flipping out with there kids, trying to escape. too many 15-16 year old couples, they all ended up getting raged against. if your that young, dont take your gf to a rage show, go to a movie or something.

[billyn]

I still have a huge bruise on my left arm from that show. I hope they announce some shows soon.

[matenizer]

You should let a docter check that bruise out man, that was almost a year ago :P

[DSAsauz]

hehe. begining gives me shudders. are they gettin back together anytime soon?

[cubbies111111111]

front row right in front of tom,

nearly died like 50 times

[NotsoJollyHolly726]

lol i was there too! omg front row?! damn you are brave and FUCKIN LUCKY!

[JKLeScH777]

lolit was fuckin crazy i was front row, had 1 broken rib, fuckin worth it though man

[floydfan8]

yeah, front row for me too. craziest time of my life. to the ppl commenting above this about the future of Rage, Zack is doing One Day as a Lion. The others did Audioslave and Tom did Nightwatchman and is currently doing Streetsweeper. However, rumor is that Rage will be releasing a new album in the near future. Hope all this info helps.

[Nypimp365]

If Rage releases a new album. That would be the craziest thing ever!!!!!!

[TravisBehnke]

Man Zack was being such a little bitch at this show iv seein vids of him almost starting riots and he keep telling every body to calm down that dissapointed me but it was still fucking awsome

[Charkie10]

yeah cause people were getting hurt, especially the girls. he doesnt want his fans getting hurt at his shows

[Mcorax]

Not to mention this is Lollapalooza, and not just their own concert. The concert has an image to maintain, and if someone gets sent to the hospital, or killed, well that doesn't look good for the show. It could've been cancelled if someone got severely hurt.

[indigirl]

Sadly, I spent that day doing something else in chicago, but my brother was lucky enough to go and he said it was epic. Wish I could've been there :)

[Pacmaniacone]

haha when we all heard those sirens we knew we were getting warned

[karikatumba]

esta banda fue escuela en el peru en los años 96 .... asi es carajo de putamadre...........

[matrixskillz]

i think i still have bruises from that. simply amazing.

[10brodan]

p.s

best part of the show was the FUCK VIP CHANT!

[XxARAYRAYxX]

haha hell yea that was some crazy shit

[10brodan]

dude im sorry you were so far away i was front fucking row for that shit! it was amazing!

[spartan9185]

i almost died up there. it waws great. i Got my right ear ripped in half. awesome show!

[10brodan]

by far the greatest experience in my life so far

[Kozlen]

it's right outside your door now TESTIFY

[goatman5]

for an opening song that was very energetic. ratm is the shit!

[HaveADrinkOnMe79]

one of the craziest moments of my life so far. i like my banner drop videos better...

[chibangin007]

this was in chicago???? wtf rage was there??? omg i missed it!!!

[operatorx]

For those 9 little girls I saved in the mosh pit.. I just want to say.. your welcome ;)

[DasUberCow]

Nice one. You gotta fucking look out for each other.

[TeddiGaukurshow]

man i miss Audioslave :'(

[razman93]

are you fucking kidding me?

[WMcDerm10]

did u have to be over 18 to go

[iwstandard]

na they let anyone in

[BOOBOOFOOFOO1]

no my friend george who is 14 was here

[richmarkel]

Bring back the days of just getting stoned, shrooms and dancing like spastic people and passing whatever to the person sitting next to you. I guess at concerts we live in violent friggin' mosh pit. I guess I am just old and gray. Peace out. No really PEACE, All we are saying, is give peace a chance. All you violent, aggressive young people, take your anger out with a condom, red wine or a toke for god's sake!

[bobbybabylon420]

holy shit those mosh pits were fun. i need to see them again

[bobbybabylon420]

jesus i want to go back! such an amazing show, so fun

being at a rage show lets you do exactly what you want to do when you listen to em

[jcoppola12]

the was the greatest day of my life, i still get butterflies watchin this

[equivic8]

I hear you! No way to discribe the enormity of this.... just great...no one thing that made it great.... just the experience will be with me forever!

[kyo221]

"Good evening, we are Rage Against The Machine from Los Angeles, California."

Hell, I will never get bored of hearing that.

[gsoks]

started in the back and ended up in front row. lost my t-shirt, a shoe, and my pants in the process. most fun iv ever had and definitely the best show iv ever been to

[giodoh]

if i was on top of one of those things on top of the stage i would have done a huge crowd surf lolz

[chris0186]

NIce to see Tim with his new Lakland. Thing sounds sick!

[ploaker54]

I was right up fucking front! best act at lolla!

[Californiasoul05]

i was right there with you, and agree completely

[Dan32]

i freaking go crazy as I was the night of this everytime i see this vid

[TheSilkSpectra]

RAGE IS FUCKIN AWSOME

[nocashBOO]

holy shit i get chills watching this...words cannot describe how sick this show was

i got completely separated from friends and had to walk back to ogilvy alone =/

IT WAS AWESOME

[Californiasoul05]

I sustained a few injuries from this show...best show i've ever been to...I was waiting 10 years to see these guys

[storture]

pavement had to fuck it all up.

[rdcarty24]

its great that there back together

[1badassmothafucka]

all i can say about that show is "FUCKING AMAAAZING"

[tomsaccount1]

I started off 3 people back from the front and ended no where near where I started, 2nd time seeing time seeing Rage this was by far a better show.

[willietheguitar]

me too they were great but it was bad up front lol

[tommyblunt]

I was there.. and it was amazing

[FrxBass]

Wow omg I got to see them... COME TO QUEBEC PLZZZ RAGE :D

[crowboy99]

mooooooooooooontreaaaaaaaal

[hcazmot]

the best band on FUCKING universe

[bgerch23]

THEY GO CRAZY AT THE END!

[echoplex89]

i have to agree, the absolute best concert if the festival.

NIN was pretty awesome too.

[bizrack]

best show of my life. get the chills just remembering what a good time it was.

[espark1089]

everyone should have been at the wilco concert, it was amazing...

[bgerch23]

haha. wow thats funny

[20theresistance08]

haaaahah joke?

[imita01]

Yes, this was one of the greatest moments of my life, i was front row to the right amazing. I had to wait like 10 hours or so, but it was worth the wait.

[Squin10]

would be nasty if the lollapalooza lineup would tour again like back when it started...

[fullmetalfunk]

oh yeah.

[ParkourWarrior9]

I was there bitches!!! lol. Prob one of the best performances ive seen ever xD

[johnisredhot]

The helicopters and police on horse really made that shit pop. I spent all of sunday nursin my wounds haha.

[GuitarDrainer]

i flew all the way from LA to see them here and it was the best concert/performance ill probably ever see. The most pits were insane and i thought i was gonna die but it was worth it haha!

[Kissfan1267]

much love for zack's energy near the end. if I do one thing before i die, I hope it is seeing a Rage Against The Machine concert

[tioweed]

RAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!!!!!!!!

[carlcote]

Best two hours of my life. I'm a big guy and my whole body ached the rest of that night.

If you haven't seen rage live, I'd put it up there on your list of things to do before you die.

[XxARAYRAYxX]

Man I miss this!!!!
