  • I did.

  • wow. im glad u put the back ground info after the vid cos i had no idea. but glad at least bands staind up for what they belive in. to bad s.n.l wasnt like that. love that band.

  • Woo! Education and music! :D

  • I didn't lol jk :)

  • welll... when u book forbes and ratm for the same show, i think ur asking for trouble! i think snl was stupid to have him for host and then rage for musical guest for the same wk end's show... if rage had played for a diff host it probably woudlve been a lil diff.

    anyways, not sure if anyone commented similar to that already or not, but i dont feel like goign thru all thosee previous comments...

    Overall: twas a great live music video to watch! thank u, one of my fav songs!

  • Zack is so pissed at the end .. love it.

  • i did brother..

    

  • i did

  • he sings like that because he feels all what he's saying

  • I did. I watched it all. Typical even for SNL. What did you expect?

    I'm 51 and I'll never grow out of Rage. They're more relevant politically today then in the 90's. At least today people are becoming more aware. Rage played Wall Street 10 years too soon. I hope people finally get what they were trying to say. Of course, I'm from New York and we like anarchy. Know Your Enemy!

  • I did

  • i find it interesting that they picked someone who rage dislikes to host that show that night

    what if it was tom hanks or something :D

  • Actually, Wikipedia is a pretty open source. But that would be it. Its errors are also not that far off from the respected Encyclopedia Britannica. Only problem with it is that its an open source. Anyone could go in there and add in information, hence falsifying or embellishing accurate information. 

  • Watched the whole vid. Seems like "true freedom" is nothing but a ruse, only governed by "laws" created by the wealthy who claim to speak for the "people." We need RAGE to come back and spread the word!

  • 3:20 is where you really feel it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Rage rules so much. They seem like the most unpretentious artist. They play shit that rocks, and don't have their noses up their asses while doing it. They just play great music. My heroes, indefinitely.

  • Anyone know whats under Tom's hat? Or more accurately, why does he always wear a hat?

  • @MasterxKenobi Pretty sure he's bald. He always looks more complete with a hat anyways.

  • I DID!!!!! how could i NOT read until the end? it was just shocking

  • dude sick video and nice info at the end....only downside is your source is wikipedia

  • wikipedia has sources [usually] that make up the information readily available to you. At least name those sources instead of just 'wikipedia' which doesn't mean shit at all.

    RATM is BAMF. With recent events from that last few years, I wonder what new material would sound like.

  • Apparently Brad Wilk hits literally soooo hard. Go On!

  • I knew the story behind this video basically the week it happened, It's quite the story, that's for sure. And honestly, doesn't surprise me. What I suggest you do with it, and is remove the source (Wikipedia). Honestly, Wikipedia is good for knowledge and what not, but it's not respected at all. And with a story like this, that obviously did happen, and happened the way you say it did, you may not even need a source. Or source something more reliable and respected. Great job!

  • i did

    

  • Bout a year ago or so I saw tom in boulder Colorado. The band still together?

  • @RPGmaster1000 Yes they are, they have been steadily playing festivals since 2010 and say they plan to do more.

  • tom morello its so fucking amazing

  • 3:30 ..every fucking time i listen to that part i want to fucking punch someone in the face, and thrash around, fucking bulls on parade \m/

  • amazing video. Thanks for the info, now I know who the corporate pigs are haha

  • SNL should be lucky and honored to have had them in their presence

  • i read it and for sure Forbes, Bush Family and those monsters from wall street can go straight to hell!!

  • holy fuck i love this band

  • I did.

  • 2:59

    ANOTHER ORGASM!

  • 0:30

    ORGASM!!!

  • I did.

  • I wonder if they've ever played this live in Eb like on Evil Empire, just the half step lower makes it sound so much more sinister!

  • clean vocals 

  • I did

  • @idontcare649 you are ignorant

  • You can watch this episode of SNL on Netflix now...when Steve Forbes first comes out you can see his face: "Boy, it feels good to have half the nation kiss my ass." Then when he says "We've got a great show...Rage Against the Machine is here." his face is like "I can't believe I just said that." This bit isn't in the episode, though... was bummed when I couldn't find it.

  • @idontcare649 i understand what you are saying to some degree but this was really testing the supposed freedom people in america are supposed to have. and and saying islamic extremists is very vague because even before then there was and is other people who do the same thing as the "islamic extremists." also rage are a band who are heroic and are willing to stand up for the billions of poor people on this earth who live in great poverty

  • @ChopRoberts it is representing america being a country being completely upside down if you understand me? e.G rage believe that the freedom of speech in america is untrue

  • Where are the upside down american flags?

  • I did.

  • You people who support them are the true reason America is becoming fucked up. They took it down because it would offend millions of Americans, it's unpatriotic and only something that islamic extremist would do, they should have been fined for disrespecting the American flag

  • @Idontcare649 Sounds like you shouldn't be viewing this video then my friend. The American flag is nothing to it's "people". Cast your votes to the damned.. We'll see how far that gets you when the next move you make isn't your own.

  • @MegaMytube99 i would love to had been a high schooler when rage came out with Evil Empire, LOL to see the passion fuleld by teenage agnst would have been incredible.

  • steve forbes and his 11 supporters watched this video

  • i watched all the way! thanks for posting this!

  • One of the best live performances of all time. Tell 'em about it Zach!

  • aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aa remember that......

  • Watched all the way through, thanks for posting. Whatta load of crap, SNL!

  • of course

    

  • Pure passion

  • thanks for re-uploading...the wiki link didn't have the part about the shredded flag and storming S. Forbes dressing room...that rocks!

  • I did

  • I did the first time.

  • KICK AZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!

  • I did

  • I did!

  • i did

  • I did, very interesting.

  • If SNL is a late night show, WHY the Fucks does they censor?!??!

  • who hosted that night?

  • @MrNapt steve forbes dumb ass

  • @legitmcoolsley2223 how does tat make me a dumb ass? i posted that after seeing the top rated comment and i havent seen this episode and i didnt know who steve forbes even was?

    why are you such a fuckin prick

  • Tom is the best guitarist ever

  • Brad Wilk wearing a LaVar Arrington jersey.

  • having steve forbes host the show with ratm playing that same night was a bad idea

  • @James25H : Bad idea? I thought it was how people trolled eachother before everyone was on the internet.

  • Zack de la Roch <3

  • =3

  • all through highschool I was a rage fan. Long hair anarchy shirts red flags the whole 9. I grew out of that, but even now as an adult RAGE is still the best band in the fucking universe. Real lyrics, real instruments real passion.

  • @bombtrackz18 really cause I'm 14 going into highschool and I'll be a Rage fan since this was what origianal rap was. fight the system, not make it bigger or make a reason.

  • @bombtrackz18 even though as an adult and even if the outfit has changed: as long as the ideas stay the same everything is fine bro!!

  • @bombtrackz18 yeh.. he actually knew what he was talking about.... that kinda knowledge doesnt age

  • one of my favorite songs and bands.

  • Fuck NBC and FUck Forbes. Funny how they tried to take it down because of a "copyright" issue. They tried to hide what happenned but they couldn't. Thanks for re posting this. And RATM kicks ass not only for their music but for standing up to those dickswho steal, lie, and deceive us into thinking what they want us to believe.

  • I did.

  • @zillahero

    Because it's on Saturday Night Live. Which is a comedy show if you didn't know.

  • @MrBeatlesfan123 what you didn't know is that SNL is on NBC, not comedy central.

  • why foes it say comedy central at the bottom?

  • I watched past the 5:30 mark and saw your message. This is kick ass footage. Thank you for posting. If NBC had it their way, this performance would be lost to time.

  • i did.

    thanks for the background story- this world is SO twisted.

  • I did.

  • Rage needs to get together and play at the OWS

  • i watched it! 

  • I DID!

    RATM is still a movement which helps to wake up people who doubt the lies they are being fed by the elite and their enslaved governments.

    The repressed have to unite all at once and show the elite that we'll take no more. When the battle is won we should show mercy to our oppressors and let them decide whether to conform or to stay offensive. We need leaders, and a government, but we need one that serves the people instead of the people serving the elite.

  • Thumbs up if u put the volume on max

  • Thanks for getting this out there!

  • I did. posted on my wall. excellent. thank you

  • Zack De La Rocha-THE militant poet :)

  • I didn't know that, but glad i do now... saturday night live basterds.

  • You shouldn't cite wikipedia as it isn't a reliable source (although more reliable than fox news)... You could, however, cite the sources provided on the wikipedia page (if any). Thanks for providing us the background story though, and thanks for the upload!

  • i did.

  • I may not agree with everything Rage says but DANG this is one talented group! Especially Tom Morello!

  • @its1tym4urmind SHUT THE FUCK UP PUNKBITCH. I JUST THUMBS UP YOU. BASTAD.

  • @mandeep95

    ....

    uh okay...do you need help or something?!?

  • I love this band because they are NOT afraid to go into controversial territory. Apparently that upsets a lot of people.

  • that stage isnt big enough for them

  • tom fucking morello

  • i did!

  • SNL is not full of bootlickers to corporate, Their just idiots for arranging RATM to play with Steve Forbes as the guest host. They should've seen this all coming.

  • @jrgallaway23 Something tells me it was intentional to have them on with him.

  • It's a shame that a bunch of assholes own NBC studios. I

  • Anyone ever notice that they sound 1:1 when it comes to playing live?

  • Pecka nejvíc!!

  • one of the best performances ever, just sounds fucking cool as hell!!! :D

  • es curioso que un grupo que se dice tan contestatario tenga como sello discografico una de las tantas transnacionales que tanto critican. LA MAQUINA LES VENDE LOS DICOS HIPOCRITAS

  • READ TO THE END! and i knew what had happened before and while i think that its bullshit that snl did it i think that the statement snl is supposed to be a "cutting edge" show wasnt true by the 90's as much as when it had started i guarentee you that in the first few seasons if someone had come on and did that they would have been cheered on but lets face it after the first couple of shitty casts they had to sell out to stay alive and thats what they did. but yea fuck forbes and whatnot........

  • God forbid anybody want to freely express something in the land of the free.

  • best solo ever men !!!

    BEST "SOLO" EVER MAN !!

  • I DID AND FUCKING PROUD OF IT!!!! FUCK GE AND ALL OF THOSE STUPID CORPORATIONS AND FROBES!!!!

  • Piss on Forbes....just another bull on parade.

  • I still have absolutely no clue how hanging American flags upside down makes any kind of intelligent statement.

  • i stayed

  • Read to the end =3

  • I was there that night, and it went down pretty much like you say, except for one thing. While the stage manager was pulling those flags down, RATM started a "F*CK FORBES" chant in the audience.

    Thanks for posting, it was a great performance and them being censored should be remembered.

    I DID

  • those are the same drums from the no shelter video

  • i did

  • god damn, makes me feel like burning this mother fucker down!!!

  • the best snl perfromence ive seen

  • to hell with gop

  • i watched it all the way

  • i did

  • i guess snl didn't really think it through having a politician host the show and having ratm perform in the same night..

  • @butlerbulldogs05 I thought that.. Ok lets have a Repulican Billionare on the same show as Rage... Seems Legit to me!

  • @butlerbulldogs05 Well in SNL's defense Steve Forbes is really funny. Oh wait a second.

  • I did. :)

  • Zack de la Rocha's signiature moves in 1:34

  • God Bless RATM.

  • Wow, thanks for the backstory on what went down that night. I remember watching the show that night and wondering why Rage didn't come out and play a second song. My brother and I just firgured it had to do with the F bombs in the lyrics. Turns out it was just some more good ol' corporate elite bullshit censorship protection for the lazy, clueless masses.

    god bless amerikkka

  • RATM = good

    SNL = crap 

  • RATM will not be censored.

    Suck on that Forbes!!!

  • haha the tags. killing in the name of tina fey.

  • America have legalised slavery by which they force their prisoners to work by threatening solitary confinement. 1% of the american population are in prison. What the land of the free? Whoever told ya dat is your enemy!

  • @andylinni45n i just got out tha pen in texass its the modern day slave trade especially in tx. check out how many pens we got

  • @andylinni45n Dumbass obviously the committed crimes, and 1 percent of americans are not in Jail

  • @mandeep95

    America ('the land of the free') has the highest rate of incarceration in the world. One quarter of the entire worlds inmates are incarcerated in America.

  • @Bo87N The only simple way to live in this world is without rules.

  • @andylinni45n COMPROMISE! CONFORMITY! ASSIMILATION! SUBMISSION! IGNORANCE! BRUTALITY! THE ELITE! ALL OF WHICH ARE AMERICAN DREAMS!

  • @andylinni45n Coming from someone with the worst grammar and punctuation I believe I've ever seen on the internet, your arguments are invalid. Suck my dick whilst I shake my head. Thanks.

  • I did and now I'm fucking upset.

  • Fuck Steve Forbes for being a bitch.

    And fuck those who want to censor everything because it's not "nice" or the "correct" way to say things.

  • Love the video! I never knew RATM got kicked out for trying to flip flags, thats crazy, Im glad they did that to Forbes. FUCK THE RICH!!!!!!

  • @FolkloreHymn Personally, I use Wikipedia a lot. I was just stating that it is not commonly known as a reliable source (i.e. in schools due to the fact that it can be edited by anybody. I've seen numerous false facts on there which have been removed later by other users. I never said it was bad because it was mainstream.

  • To me (A European) it seems that USA only advocates Free Speech, when it is not used to critisize USA. If the people can't critizise the government, the purpose of free speech is lost entirely.

  • @Madsbock and you're right and i live in the us

  • @Madsbock good point

  • I did!

  • I did

  • I did. However it's not just about freedom of speech and whose right it is to do what. It's what the gov. wants viewers to see. they dont want people thinking about their rights or what kind of curruption is going on in the u.s. They just want people to watch, listen to the comercials they sponser to go out an buy the things they advertise and the bottom line is when you go against the government, you loose. even for a band as bad ass as RATM. subliminals is what they care for and their money...

  • you discuss the right to free speech as you desicrate the symbol of those ideas....fuckin idiots.

  • @marky676 Exactly, that's the point, how do you not get that the freedom of speech should not be limited because some people are offended by a political message? That defeats the purpose of free speech. That's akin to the "love it or leave it" argument, taken to their logical conclusions these two premises leave you with a nation of mindless consumers, exactly what elites want. Rage gets it, you don't. I served because I believe in what America SHOULD stand for, and a flag is not a nation.
