Rage Against The Machine-Born of a broken man

[RageQuit94]

I dedicate this song to Bill Hicks

[ITler]

love it

sounds so heavy

[Spartanrazor]

tom morello fckin legend!

[xiakcolleen]

nice song!!!hope to hear some new songs from you guys!!!



[carrottop3127]

shake them dreads zack, keep a shakin..

[HaLfDeAdArtist1]

Tell me why i jumped out of my chair and started jumping and head banging when the chorus came in.

[TheDementedAvenger]

RATM, Please come to the US East Coast!... we need solidarity for wall street protests

[fighthardnow]

7 people were born a broken man haha

[RageQuit94]

All hail the Rage Against The Machine XD

[RageQuit94]

Ice cube created 7 accounts

[jmanthei98]

This is one of my favorite Rage songs...

[14ed14ed]

crowd is dead or what

[fendordsi]

I love how rage can peform live just like in their songs. Many bands and artists try but sound reaaaally out.

[blantier]

If this was released as book of poetry it could be nominated for the Nobel prize in literature. When you understand the background of the song it makes it even more powerful. "praying for someone to turn off the light". This is solidly among my top 5 RATM songs since I was also born of a broken man....

[littleman938]

Hmm if I had a choice to watch ice cube when he wasnt making these gays ass shows and movies or RATM? RATM all the way!!!

[66ott7]

RATM or Ice Cube? Heidi Klum or Ellen Degeneras?

[PZYCHOPATrick]

ALL SOUNDS MADE BY GUITAR; BASS; DRUMS; AND VOCALS - the way it´s supposed to be!

[conn0r1994]

@PZYCHOPATrick

non of this autotune sound board shit

[chjohnst]

very poetic song

[Spitfire3814]

7 people are broken men

[nickersthekid]

So much passion and energy, god I love these guys.

[sunnylee84]

rap sucks that's why RATM owns all the fkn crap like rap and hip-hop. coz it's MUSIC with LYRICS. well awesome MUSIC with awesome LYRICS :)

[thejuryissleepless]

@sunnylee84 Hey i might as well educate you - RATM was born from hip-hop. get with it and stop bein a music snob. stop letting shit being called "hip-hop" like Jay Z or 50 Cent be representative of what TRUE hip hop is. Real hop hop is fuckin Dead Prez, Public Enemy, Roots, Mos Def, Immortal Technique, Jurassic 5, Talib Kwali, Ill Bill, La Coka Nostra.... and the list goes on and on and on and on and on. But for real man - RATM was born from the yoke of hip hop.

[crackpotdweeb]

bill hicks would have improved :)

[BBake3941]

timmy c fuckin rocks... great song tho

[MrGetalife23]

What I love bout this Band: 1. Best band Every 2. Awsome Music 3. What Genre of music is it? Rock? Techno? punk? Metal?

oh ya I forgot all of those :)

[royalsteven]

This song is about his father it must have taken a lot of balls to sing this without crying. All the people who love this song must have had father issues too jajaja.

[maluorno]

@royalsteven - so that would be most of the population...

[royalsteven]

Yes ahaha I think so.

[monique36033]

all rage songs are not under rated one of the best bands in the world, i dont give a fuck waht anyone says

[NickNorie15]

@monique36033

Do you know what underrated means? Rage's songs ARE underrated. The band itself doesn't get the attention it deserves.

[rzawilson]

THE BATTLE OF BRAZIL - SWU

[NickNorie15]

@rzawilson

fuck off

[rzawilson]

@NickNorie15 vai tomar no cú vc ótario sem culturaa nenhumaaa !!!

[NickNorie15]

@rzawilson

The way you said "the battle of brazil" made it sound like you actually thought their presence there made any impact. They played for playboys, the people who pretty mucha are the cause for all social problems in Brazil. And they talked as if the MST and PT were any good, when anyone who knows Brazil is fully aware that they are both motherfucking corrupt organizations...

Fuck off

[NickNorie15]

@rzawilson

e fuck off não quer dizer vai tomar no cú, seu "otário sem cultura"...

[iNUKEDbinLADEN]

Get graped ice cube.

[Emceetem]

woodstock 1999 was the best one?

Metallica, RHCP,RATM?

In my opinion all was missing was hendrix.

[ratmachine87]

sorry cube ... you just got left behind by ratm. lol

[chaoarecool]

I think this song is very hard for Zack to prefrome becuse its about his dad

[SithJohn93]

@chaoarecool yeah its like Daddy for Jon Davis from Korn

[BusinessButterfly]

I REMEMBER HERE HE MENTIONED A DEDICATION thanks.... MU@@@

[SadisticAzagthoth]

one of the heaviest songs ever man !!!

[MJSpiderman7116]

hahahaha @0:26 Good song and all but geez... lol

[Coolcat202]

@MJSpiderman7116 you can not listen to the riff without banging your head, im sorry- its impossible.

[163undead]

amazingamazingamazingamazingam­azingamazingamazingamazingamaz­ingamazingamazingamazingamazin­gamazing

[cyrizzle420]

tom morello is amazing.... they are the best band.

[6Ott7]

Best band ever to exist in music history.

[TheBroken69glass]

[LannaJoky]

[44eelz]

Ice Cube loves to dance

[zoso355]

[zooyork419]

Holy Shit...Can't believe I didn't know that!!!! That's awesome!!

[polozient]

MIERDA

[cannibalonXthedead]

wonder why they didnt play testify or calm like a bomb

[zooyork419]

Their already gone man....they broke up and became Audioslave....and now audioslave broke up too :(

[gohanroshi]

ratm did a world tour last year...

[wemarti]

gone??

They got back together in 2007 at Coachella, and have been playing shows ever since. That's why Audioslave broke up, cuz RAGE IS BACK!

[georgo342]

heard of street sweeper social club?

[wemarti]

No, but apparently I should. I'm seeing them open for Rise Against in Chicago this Thursday

[georgo342]

haha epic

[apmoyer6]

im only 16 and they're my fav band.... i gotta see these guys live before they are done for good!

[DooKieWagon1011]

epic.

[foleylions112291]

One of the baddest songs alive. No doubt. No one can do it like RATM.

[MrDirtbag75]

My only regret in life is...only seein them live twice :(

[MEDINAINMIAMI]

that festival sucked donkey dick but fuck RATM was smoking that night !

[TruthAddic]

First off, if someone can watch this and not like RAtM, they're clueless sheep and I pity them.

2. You can tell how much Zack relates to this song. He really feels it and gives 100%. This man inspires me. :)

[KingVelothi]

ZAK DE LA ROCHA FUKIN LEGEND!

[bonopunk77]

this is THA shit. awesome.

[ratmachine87]

born of a broken man

but not a broken man

born of a broken man

never a broken man!

[AdumbD]

Born of a Broken Man! Never a Broken Man!

[ejjohnson5500]

hahahaha 3:40 he has like a spaz attack

[TheWanguitarist1]

my favorite part is 0:00 to 4:33

[metsrkool]

3:20 is there anything to say?

[mklemp92]

Words cant describe it

[Tfr3sh17]

Sick riff. Love this song, love this album, love this band.

[ragefan4ever92]

i think this is there best performance of this song

[RatmFAN360]

i can cover this song 100%. And No It's Just The Video Causing The Tone To Be Diffrent. shitty quality.

[SnkyToast]

Zach's got an odd look on his face @ 0:26 if you pause it right when camera flashes on his face...

Great job though, love this band, kickass performance!

[metallijames]

he's getting ready to let his fury out ;)

[wtfjayde86]

this shit is amazing for being live at woodstock..

[MushiePuppet17]

I mean his tone is usually so fat, but in this video it's kinda tinny. Not as forceful as usual.

[MushiePuppet17]

I fucking love this song. If it's not my favorite rage song, it's definitely top 5.

But is it me or does Morello's guitar seem kinda weak?

[reak7835]

what do you mean by weak?

[danextvictim]

I think I know what you mean it kinda fades in and out when it shouldn't

[DubyaDubyaE]

Best fuckin band ever

[Slmjm884]

I don't care who you are....turn the volume up and piss off your neighbors.

[ragefan4ever92]

u cant piss off ur neighbors with this music!!!!!!!

BORN OF A BROKEN MAN BORN NOT A BROKEN MAN!!!!!

[LexXaoc]

Sorry for my bad english, but it is

Best album in music i ever seen.

The most atmosphere song a ever seen.

Never a broken man

[skategmaster]

if there were more than 5 stars u would get them

[FireScythe1992]

i almost thought this was a softer song but theres no thing as soft with rage against the machine

[Milkface1234]

Yeah. They have one soft song. Beautiful World is their only soft song.

[icetones]

yeah that was like a cover on their cover album Renegades but still kicks ass

[ragefan4ever92]

thats a cover so it dosnt really count as "there" soft song

[billyn]

very underrated Rage song

[dande1100]

@billyn every rage song is underrated

[loneydan]

@billyn totally. Such a sick lick

[giodoh]

lol ice cube got owned

[hankoxD]

@giodoh xDDDD YES :P NICE SONG! RATM 4 EVER!

[purepoet]

the album didnt come out yet when they played this song....... the crowd was probably allrite new rage song and album coming out..........

[czubeczek031207]

dzięki.

[donth8trev]

one of my favorite rage songs

[sin1607]

one of their best perfonmances ever..

[maserati1990]

i fucking get goosebumps when ever i watch rage

so intense

[4mancircus]

haha me 2

[WVHERO115]

Zach and Tom are legendary

[TDawg1230]

yea but they wouldnt be the same without timmy c and brad

[dawgho1]

no it is not a cover song. you should know that if you have seen them live.

[hydromechanix]

I was just wondering is this a cover song? I didn't think it was. And by the way u guys are discussing it seems like Zach probably wrote it. I'm just second guessing bcuz my sister asked me when she heard this song i said i didn't think it was tho. but when they played this at lolla damn it was awsome moshin. but this video is awsome

[TakinInc]

This is just fucking sick.

[darkgallus]

So much power and intensity on this stage!

[darkgallus]

Can't we put more than 5 stars ?

[AfroMonkeyR0X]

if we could, the stars would go on for miles!

[CraZhore]

this song is fucking amazing

zach is an inspiration to me and rage are, in my opinion, one of the greatest political activist/musical groups in history

obv this is not a political song

but it is so powerful...

[guitardude536]

HELL YA!

[aku920]

agree

[alexf0107]

yeah beto would lock zach in his room and make him fast for an entire weekend and help beto destroy his art

[Krazakyle99]

for some reason when i listen to this song it seems like it should be played on a rooftop some where... where a riot is breaking out or somthing... i all i know is this is my favorite song

[Seitzy411]

the effect, it sounds Lo-Fi, 3:21, anyone know what that is?

[usfbulls51]

i'm pretty sure some type of wah wah

[CallumJ]

yeh he just turns on his wah but doesn't actually use, it gives it that sound.

[warhorseforever]

Thats A Distortion Stomp Box

[ragefan4ever92]

it his crybaby

[elpichichis]

I remember this was the first time i ever heard this song....Saturday night July of 99.

[Houstonskater]

Zack's father had a nervous breakdown and 'went Christian', and due to the Commandment that 'thou shalt not make engraven images', Beto stopped painting, the creativity which had inspired Zack for so long was gone, leaving his father a Broken Man. This, in Zack's view, was the fault of Christianity, especially easy to blame as he wasn't fond of it anyhow.

[ratfaty]

is zack btw an atheist? i would recommend it...

[WhereMightWaldoB]

tim is a vegan

brad is diabetic

[ratfaty]

What's it all about?

I mean we were talking about Religion...

[james619]

i dont know, bu ti know this song has said something about jesus

[CraZhore]

yea hes expressing a sort of resentment of religion because the way he saw it, it made his dad the way he was and crippled his spirit

religion is useless comfort

[freedomfigh3r]

Zach is, as far as i know, an atheist. This song + his Marxist beliefs makes it obvious to me.

[ARMTH3HOMELESS]

this song is about his father not religion

[capo2ndfrett]

this song owns.. kudos for u AILD5329 frreeeeeeeekiin siiiiiiiiiiiicck

[AILD5329]

Great band great song its my favorite song of all time. RATM Kicks ass

[carrottop3127]

this is a kick ass song!!!

[DillonArloff]

i heard it in some inteview. he wasnt forced to stop painting...but his insanity drove him to stopping....

[guitarman069]

this is prolly the only band that has no haters..well if there are people who hate this band they deserve to be shot for being ignorant and stupid to realize ratm's music is to open ones mind to the reality of the corrupt system that deprives us of our human rights and freedom

[0csrussell0]

nobody deprives you of anything, your just afraid to fight back, so technically you deprive yourself, basically it means the founders of your so called "system" won in the darwinist theory of survival of the fittest

[Punchbass2007]

i don't believe ive seen brad get down like that! awesome song

[royalsteven]

Yeah it's about his dad that's why tom said it was so hard for zach to sing it. I give him props for singing this i couldn't do it.

[RaiseTheFist]

when did he say that

[royalsteven]

man I red that in an interview with Tom some time ago.

[KeychainLove]

this has to be the most personal rage against the machine song ever

[DillonArloff]

this songs about his relationshiop with his father who was forced into christianity and forced to stop painting causing him to go insane (break)

[RaiseTheFist]

where did you hear that?

[dgspruc]

he wasn't forced to stop painting - and i don't think he was forced into christianity either. look up beto de la rocha on wikipedia

[PAT2AB4CREED]

wow RATM are great...B.O.A.B.M. one of my favorite songs. Morello rocks man

[Ratmlova]

I dont get this song.Thos Zach belive in god or not.I don't get that part?

[ArmTheHomeless1986]

i think the song is about his relationship with his father

[royalsteven]

I'm not sure. I thought they were communists.

[vanhalen24681012]

This was live from the east stage, you know

[maajc]

just listen to the main riff...

[royalsteven]

when Tom shakes his head at 1.59 what would he be thinking?

[musicianjed]

This is a great rage song and needs to get more admiration.

[sargentD45]

this kicks the shit out of todays pop-punk bands

[assitch6]

sargentD45 -

yeah you've said that in EVERY video now, we get you. Shut up.

[drumsandsoccer]

ur dam straight! billy talent needs more songwriting skills and less cocaine

[czechman86]

just awesome!

[bojosoto]

man, i've always wanted to see this, this is fuckin awsome!
