best performance of this song. and if everyone fought for freedom with a fistful of steel, with the same fury that Zack de la Rocha does, the world wouldn't be this shit.
And here's the proof that Tim Commerford used to play Musicman Stingray basses. On many sites about RATM and about Audioslave people mention the fender Jazz Basses he plays but never mention the stingrays. Come on, listen to the first album, there's only one kind of bass that makes THAT sound and it isn't a Fender Jazz.
@Phunxk Totally agree this year they had a lot of terrible bands .............Mika??????What the hell are they thinking!!!2008 was good though!!Glad that Rage didn't hit pinkpop this year.They did a concert in Arnhem last week witch was GREAT!!!
HEY RATM FANS!! THERES A RATM FAN CLUB ON YOUTUBE!! (WE ARE almost 40!!) ALL RATM FANS IS WELCOME!!! JUST GO TO MY CHANNEL THERE YOU WILL FIND THE GROUP!!!
Tom is so tight. Never seen him miss a beat in the slightest.
Thank god rage got back together, so many new bands sing about bullshit, just whingers. Rage was always so political and had a cause. Music the way it should be - with meaning..
I fucking love these guys oh so much!! Has to be most underrated rage song i reckon!! it would be awesome if they were to release a new albumn eh sigh
the 2nd verse is ridiculous! U cant freakin teach that! Its Pure. Saw Rage when i was 16 at Palooza in Orlando in '92. They were playing at noon and no one was paying attention. I was like, who the hell is this. So powerful! Morello is a super creative riff master! Wish i could go back in time
find vids for them mid 92, and check the palooza schedule... they were noon! Crazy! I was blown away even though most people weren't paying attention.
Whatever happened to these guys when we most needed them. I mean honestly, they were complaining about the Clinton administration. It would have been nice if any of them would have given signs of life during these past eight years.
Well Tom Morello had a solo career, not nearly the same size of Rage, but still good. He was acoustic belive or not. They did the Audioslave thing, but thats not rage as we all know. And I've heard of Zach trying out a solo career.
When i say to my friends that RATM the best band ever is , and a mhytic group is , it's make them laugh. But they here Rammstein or something like that....IS ALL THEIR HEAD FULL OF SHIT ?
RATM is the best live act ever. I was too young to ever see them, but my cousin (who's 32 now) went to see RATM when they were just hitting in 1993(somewhere), and again1997(New Jersey) to see them Zack puts so much energy into his performances. Little joke: I was looking at a deftones video and somebody said their vocalist is energetic. the most he does is jmp 2 ft in the air and headbang a little. Zack is true NRG!!!
4:08-4:16 is the best scene I've ever seen from RATM live. da na na na YEAHHHHHH! Who agrees. Zack runs into the wall for _____'s sake and shouts like a maniac. That is why I love RATM. Zack is incredible, political and very smart, tom is political, smart, and an excellent guitarist, Tim has really been an innovator and huge influence on many bassists around the world, and Brad is one of the best drummers in the land (see "Bulls on Parade").
Tom is so fucking good, I don't know how he does it. It's not just the notes he plays and the already obviously hard guitar solos that he plays, but the way he plays them as well. He's so smooth with every note. What an amazing guitarist.
Most of his lyrics are about injustice (in a criminal corporate systen) in general. I think it's really good they expose the injustices in society and shed light on facts that really matter. They're one of the few. Still i doubt there's a lot of revolutionaires or activists listening to their music they just want to rock out. That's why I doubt if music is the right vehicel for these political ideas. Maybe writing a book would be better.
99 percent of thier songs I must confess.I've neither the time or energy to decipher thier lyrics.Just know Zach is a very angry man,though in a constructive way I'm assuming.
Look at peoples faces, some of them just dont have a clue, what the hell this sound is. Nobody did, I diddent know, but it was the greatest sound - a perfect mix. So, when they invited my first concert in ´93, because I met them in Copenhagen, and asked them to sign an album i quickly bought, I felt like I had been touched by God. Saw them again at Roskilde Festival´94 and ´95, and one more time in ´95/´96.
RATM are the Greatest band ever, please watch my Township Rebellion video :)
I once had a underground live CD, recorded at a live concert in Sweden, i believe the year was ´93. I have tried to find it, but it is missing, and I dont know where it is. A friend bought the same CD, It´s been years since I´ve talked to him, but I will try to find out, if he still have the recording. It was called Rage Against The Machine and a Little Helmet, cause it had some recordings with Little Helmet in practice on it to. That is all I can give you for now, I have no recordings.
dude weak. its okay, we all lose things. i forgive you. can you send me a copy of that underground disc if you ever get another copy? i'll pay, send me a message if you can. thanks dude! Rage4ever, as it were!
I promise, when or if I get the recording, I will put it out on youtube. You can´t expect anything before springtime, since im going away soon. The best thing is to subscribe, then youtube will alert you, when I put out new videos, and that wont happen either, before springtime :)

tom is a good player but at his skills overrated and limited. he has good idears, like the turn-table-scratching-stuff, which makes rage to an outstanding and special band.
