Rage Against the Machine - Know Your Enemy - 1991

[F0rM0th3rRussi4]

@LoserNoGirl It was 10/23/1991 lol

[F0rM0th3rRussi4]

3:40-3:51 Biggest cold shoulder ever :'(

[F0rM0th3rRussi4]

@LoserNoGirl Uh, no?

[Saighu]

is Zach doing an MC hammer step over?..lol

[Matakias13]

The start of a new era...

[BobDawg173]

lol at this point they didn't know they would play at the VMA's, Coachella, Pinkpop and the Grand Olypic Auditorium. And Tom didn't know he would be in the top 30 guitarists of all time in rolling stone. It's kind of funny.

[JBrewer4386]

you can tell it's their first show, barely anybody showing them love at first, but boy has time changed

[concretesurf814]

@JBrewer4386 OG Rage for sure but definitely not therir first show man.....

[minipaganini]

@JBrewer4386 All that in one year. That's something.

[frankktillery82]

Awesome footage of early Rage!!!

[Jewishguywithbignose]

One person waved

[SLIPKN0Tvids]

small crowd? "16,551" seems pretty good for a first show ;)

[stevegerard88]

the best!

[timberwolves100]

zach has such perfect rhythm and timing. HIs voice blends in flawlessly with the music. Not many bands have Chemistry this good.

[DrFeelgoodBB]

killer solo!

[RaDiAtIoNZ0N3]

look at there heads in the begging there like holy shit

[10oclockCurfew]

lol for the redshirt guy who walks in and starts dancing

[MrAbah666]

ANGER IS A GIFT!!!!!!!!!!

[MrAbah666]

different lyric  but still know your enemy !!!!! love this

[ressurection9]

Almost 20 years later and if he told everyone to throw there hand's in the air more than one person in the video would be doing, people would comment on how the one person who's NOT doing it is just out of the picture

[Kurkuma888]

its an other lyric, isnt it?

[TheDismalDream]

at the end did he say thank you or fuck you ? xD

[Kurkuma888]

@TheDismalDream

thank you

[TheDismalDream]

@Kurkuma888 yes of course it w you was joke he said thank to the public and fuck you to the rules ^^

[Kartoffel43]

its weird to hear the intro without fans freaking out xD

[ratmrulesyou1]

that guy in the red shirt is hardcore!

[lanceortheo]

1 month,3 days after I was born :p

[charrington60]

Man, this videos awesome, great music its 4:20 long and it has 69 likes

[mrdanface]

[07pinot]

1991 the audience has no idea what they are seeing.

[ThePako999]

@07pinot

you are right...great comment

[sgtsteveo]

GO RED SHIRT GUY DANCE MOTHERFUCKER DANCE!

[camicor1]

Am i wrong, o r he didn´t say all this:

Yes I know my enemies

They're the teachers who taught me to fight me

Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission

Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite

All of which are American dreams (8 times)

[ultraray20]

@camicor1 nope he never said that.. instead all he did was introduce the band members

[RDCKM]

4.00 - enter red shirt man.

[techy75]

"what the hell is that bald guy doing?"

"from what im seeing... he seems to be fiddling with that toggle switch"

[ShadowCygnus]

"you don't have to be loud to be heavy as shit"

[lediable76]

3 years before i enrolled into this bullshit ass school!!! love Rage!!!! KNOW YOUR ENEMY!!!

[jeffreyjoe45]

with the right light, study becomes insight.....this video gives me goosebumps...

[bbookmiller]

[mattmylescheesys]

[hmwillow]

[jholditdown]

haha i dont think the crowd knew what just hit them.

[Meinname79]

[kikurulerlu]

dude dam i would love to see the lyrics to this version of this song, it's different than the one we know XD

[GIAMBIBROTHERS2]

i love how no one took them seriously then the old guy walks by at like 4:09 but it sounded pretty good i guess they didn't know good music

[cannibalonXthedead]

well they might have liked it but imagine these people have never heard it before it like going to a concert and a band no one has heard of is playing

[ecxgajs]

omg that guy in the red top at the end is so funny he's in freedom at the same concert he starts dancing for so long its so funny

[jaishalattacks]

morello kills it, as per fuckin usual

[MrGnaes]

man zachs such a thug back in the day (compliment)

[bootheguru]

These people were probably like WTF!!

[AHScrewedu]

wow if i was there i would be going crazy

[XxHigherGroundxX]

did he just say, "Yo, we got 'Tommy Hitman' on guitar right here"? That is badass lol

[BobDawg173]

@XxHigherGroundxX I've heard rumors he was a male stripper and that was his stripper name. LOL.

[jj227788]

[stevieVantanna]

You can see everybody move their head to the left to see how Tom is making that noise during the intro.

[camicor1]

@stevieVantanna

[eLLAMUSic5]

[dillinjaesc]

[cannibalonXthedead]

[feedback575]

THE red guy (very famous now =) is the only one who really understand what happens here!!

He's movin' till the end just like I do behind my screen lol

I'd love to see, one day, an unknown band playin totally new stuff with such groove and energy for a 1st show.. Crazy

[faNNatiK]

ooooooh fuck this is one of the first shows ever.... the crowd didnt know who they are !!! the guy in red shirt rock

EPIC !!!

[OllieMctwist]

this is sooooooo sick! the crowd is so lame, theres like one guy up front who knows how it is. the whole band looks awesome younger too, full of energy

[Gemini14623]

Everyone one must be in shock. This is awesome!

[lasio9]

[DJEggoYo]

[SmdLinkAlex]

At the end Nobody said Oh right, Zack didn't understand...

[setum99]

can someone send me the lyrics? they sound so different and cool. btw, tom's solo here is his best. it shows he doesn't just play random stuff, he can shred too.

[TJS678]

Oh my god its the Red Shirt man from the Freedom at this same place!

[imapotato3]

in the take the power back video of this concert there were like 2 people there, i mean, i wonder how these people felt years later when this band hit it big, with thousands and thousands of fans

[DJEggoYo]

*millons and billions*

[imapotato3]

[soccergod1424]

[djshadz50]

[Dagon313]

yeah it looks cool how they all go more to the left to see how Tom plays the intro xD amazing !!!

[guitarman069]

the lyrics are so different ....wow they were already great back then

[billyn]

i love how everyone in the crowd at the beginning looks confused as to how Tom is making that Killswitch noise with his guitar. lol.

[SoldSeparatly]

in just 8 years they would be in front of thousands of people at Woodstock fucken brilliant

[DrummerGAS]

in 2 years

[pau6alfafarS80]

lol its not the same lyrics xDDD

[CrayJack]

this vid made my day :)

[RedHotChiliZephyrs]

Even there you can see how awesome they are, no wonder RAGE took off so quikly

Also check the solo, it is awesome haha

[molinasantander]

Wow! The beginning of a legend!

[clabonkid]

watch on all these videos, the audience gradually increases...

[cooliovasquez]

omg around 4 09 that guy is funny

[yvish]

you can see this one dude in all the video's he's digging this stuff, now he can say 'i was there man! the first show!'

[Homerjay66666]

I like the guy at 4:02 really getting into it.

[skatertrev7]

Yea he's back!!!! watch clear the lane for full effect from this guy. I laughed so hard.

[KennethKaniffFromCT]

you should put "First show" or something like that on that tags or title of these videos so more people find them because they're awesome.

[alxxtrm1]

Like no body's excited then but now it's pit chaos

[shaneDaShamma55]

is that a baby arm the homeless! it was new then!

[mikebulzary]

man, i love how there's virtually NO reaction to them playing. people are actually walking past! if they played now, or even just a year after this, you'd HAVE to take notice

[poobustank]

this is so ridiculously old school

[freedomnow2012]

It makes me wonder who help him to write the lyrics that appear on the album and also who helped him with those dance moves because he does not do it anymore. As if someone help him how to move around on stage.

[Pointofnoreturn69]

nobody helped zack with the lyrix mahn

[Piexing]

Amazing.

The [terrible] Playstation game 2 Xtreme stole the verse riff for its menu music. It's not exact, but pretty darn similar!

[raginrenegades]

the lyrics are completely fucking different man....still amazing, gives me goddamn chills

[justiniscoolohyea]

is this one of there first shows?

[ragefan4ever92]

yea

[TDawg1230]

people are prolly wondering what tom is doing in the intro(with the togle switch)

[bradyisbeast12]

YES!!!

[snowcone426]

Thank you for requesting this track, rageagainstiraq

[mattyp3400]

[RageAgainstIraq]

[RageAgainstIraq]

Dude, i like this version better hell yeah.

"we got timmy c here, we got tommy hitman on guitar right here, we got brad behind the set right here, what's up, my name's Zack"

[RATM5050]

OMG this is mad this is wrong this aint KYE it obv is like but yer!

[RageAgainstIraq]

lyrics anyone. I don't hear any of tha KYE that we know lyrics. I personally like tha intro to this one right here better than the studio one. it's a bit more slower

[DeeSee25]

look at ever1 walking by wondering, "who are these clowns?" lol.

[twilightninja]

How could the people be so mean to Zack?!?!Alright?!

[RageAgainstIraq]

voice in the beginning belongs to rob henneway. he was taljing to his wife. he was 23 at this time, a few yearss older than myself (age 19)

[cowie01]

and?

[RageAgainstIraq]

Rob was talking to his wife who was in labor the time and she had his chi;d but you know that rage is addicting that SOB stayed at the show. him AND i STILL TALK.

[DJRezN]

[JohnnyC1072]

Dude, shut the freak up. You're clogging up the board.

[RageAgainstIraq]

fhfjduhjfuhmsfiuamnhujh

[morekiller]

what does he say at 0:40?

[morekiller]

haha at 2:45 does he say "yo we got tommy here man in control right here check em out"?

[mymw]

3:06 imagine being there, seeing a man mess with a guitar like that. you would've gone all "what the morello fuck?"

[RageAgainstIraq]

I personally liek the intro to this KYE better than the studio. a bit slower which bring s out the true power and intensity of the song in my case

[mymw]

i didnt mention the intro, what are you talking about?

[RageAgainstIraq]

Freakin awesome Zapatista thank you man! question: y didnt you do this earlier im not looking back just curiosity.

Hey how do I trade ive never traded before, i Just own some kickass vids
