Street Sweeper Social Club - Origins

[killyourhead]

This made me laugh to tears. 

[bigredonedday]

why is he so smart?

[Niklba]

boots is so fucking high lol :D

[F1brawfa]

I bet they were high while recording this

[TheDaly93]

Does anyone else think they sounded high at the beginning of the video?

[desowell]

I love Tom's Milk chocolaty baritone, he could have been in the righteous brothers, and boots is an international badass

[joseph4197]

you would think they could afford a better camera lol

[chjackson82]

If the posts on these SSSC vids is any indicator,it seems like Tom morello fans would have him playing one style/type of music for the rest of his life. The guy is still growing and venturing out trying new stuff, more power to him

[crownofthhorns]

They have pretty different styles too. Zach just has a different styl of rapping.

[Egon420]

Its not cool to be comparing Zack to Boots, they are two totally different people in different bands its time to move on. I was always a huge rage fan and started listening to The Coup years ago also. I think its great that this band somehow formed. If your not down just listen to your RATM albums, its all good.

[connolly420]

First and foremost, RATM is dead, a distant memory. Even if they did get back together odds are everyone would be disapointed because they, in all likely hood would not be as good as they were, or atleast as "you" remembered. So maybe you(and me) should just accept the legacy of rage as it is. Personaly i think the one where a band calls it quites too early is better then saying "their first 4 albums were good, then they sold out" plus sssc s more party good time music then rage. the two are

[brapsherpa99]

connolly420 you got pwned

[Gregomasta]

I'm a long time rage fan, still am, always will be. I like Street Sweeper Social Club alot, they're no rage but close, Tom is bleeding with talent and boots can handle a mike in Tom's band. It's good stuff but I'd like some new rage stuff even tho that seems like that will never happen.

[TheNomadicMonad]

Truth be told, many ex RATM fans don't like boots because they actually don't like rap, they like a guy screaming in rhymes.

[junesue1205]

these guys are okay but they keep reminding me of something like a

lesser not as talented no meaningful message rage against the machine.

with a black guy who does not have as much energy as the rapper.

[Toastpolice]

no energy huh, have you seen him live, is it because of his voice, because his dancing is fantastic so is his rapping

[apancher]

i agree with you totally on this. boots seems like a watered down zach de la rocha

[chjackson82]

Boots always has a message. If you can't hear it, or don't get it, then I feel bad for ya

[Rageman19561]

Socalkickboxer you are a real moron not worth arguing with because you are unarmed jerk!! The ecomomy is not on its way up you idiot it just started going down a little slower!!Oh I guess you must be one of the Obama winners who will get more free stuff from the tax payers so you like that right??Or are you one of the great baby makers from multiple partners who can't take care of themselves and drain the taxpayers???Please shut up so people don't have to know how stupid you are!!

[ScottBrown666]

boo!

[samliffe]

I LOVE Rage, Street Sweeper and this coupled with One Day as a Lion is refreshing, i think Rage is just now around for Super, Oneoff gigs and these two are the way forward

[mhrocks10]

rageman, STFU! :P

[joesilver72]

Rageman you suck, stop whining dude

[joesilver72]

X D great vid

[rockmetalredsox]

by Obama u mean bush aka the worst president ever?

[CaptainObviousFilms]

Quite a statement which shows how you have no knowledge of history. If you disagree with Bush's policy fine your entitled to. Making non-factual comments like "he was the worst president ever", he's a "nazi", just takes credibility away from your arguments.

[Axis2007]

Go jump off a cliff. I guarantee you know absolutely nothing of politics and you just go off of what your parents say. Go lock yourself back up in the basement kid.

[0SourPatchKid0]

Ha Tom Morello does sound like Barack Obama! I like his shirt! The music sounds great too. The Nightwatchman is excellent 2 as it's so different to what he did with RATM & Audioslave. It's enough to say I don't think anything Tom Morello has done musically is bad. Not sure what RATM are doing but I thought they just got back together to play some shows & not to make any new material,Zack de la Rocha has a side project so they probably don't have time to think about doing more Rage songs.

[Rageman19561]

Hey Tommy!!! Why isn't PAPER PLANES on the debut CD?? It's a good song..Where the HELL is it???

[1695l]

hey i saw them in concert and b4 every time boots played paper planes he said this song isent gonna be on there album and thats becouse boots dident make that song another band did

[Rageman19561]

Well then..Boots needs to swallow his foolish pride and put a song on the deput cd that fans want to hear..I got news for the over rated Boots..Tommy makes the band not him..get real Boots!!

[robertwienerrocks]

What are you ranting about? Many bands do cover versions live, but only do their own material on the album. Perhaps you should direct your angst toward a more deserving target.

You took the effort to write this, but have you ever written or called your congressman? Think it over.......

[robertwienerrocks]

It's an M.I.A. song......

[MSNGR415]

i'm hadn't heard about this pairing till a couple days ago and i couldn't be more excited ........been a huge fan of the coup for years coming out of the bay area and morellos guitar playing is what got me into guitar in the first place.

[yaxmicha]

i have that same clash shirt......fuck

[kendoodra]

Oh man I'm so happy this kind of music has busted out!! It's brilliant you guys don't even know.

[BlackSoultan]

Boots Riley is why I started rhyming and remains to this day my favorite rapper. Few people know that. Then my boy Pterradacto from project Blowed and Hip Hop Klan heard my album like "You listen to Boots a lot, don't you?" He was the only one who picked up on that...LOL

[RedFieryAutomobile]

And the Clash T shirt Mr. Morello is wearing is a great sign of respect to the past.

[RedFieryAutomobile]

"Boots" Riley looks pissed off as hell.

Thats good.

[RatPT01Foxhound]

Very awesome guys! I saw you guys in Phoenix, my uncle was driving for the NINJA tour, so I was chilling behind stage watching you guys. Your apparel is freaking awesome, I love the CCCP style of it; and your music is even better!

[tacosalad98]

Morello's voice almost sounds like Obama's.

Obama should jam with the band and rap lol.

[kalpuliOcelotra]

a hueeeeeevooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

FREEDOM FOR ALL OUR POLITICAL PRISONERS, ATENCO, JACOBO+GLORIA, OAXACA, AMATE, YUCATAN, TAMAULIPAS, MUMIA, PELTIER, BLA, WEATHER, ALL OF MEXICO, THE ENTIRE WORLD.

[dididiratmdididididi]

haha at 1:00 boots riley gives tom the finger xD haha lol

[Cghost1031]

I didn't say he was obama i said he SOUNDED like Obama in the way he talked.

[j0en]

I agree with his pacing and deep voice.

[scarecrow1116]

I cant wait to see them at K-Rockathon!

[crutchboy90]

i agree w/ chuckups; their live performance was both extremely loud AND impressive--i'd never seen anyone play a guitar w/ their teeth besides hendrix until I saw Morello work it

[ibleedhomework]

He was actually just doing pull offs and hammer ons. You don't actually play with your teeth.

[crutchboy90]

kool

[slipknotserge]

NO dude!!! seriously i've played my guitar with my teeth and there's a big tonal difference when you play with your teeth than when you just hammer on! When you play with your teeth you hear a very sharp attack on the strings and has a lot of treble to it.

[chuckups]

I just saw them last night, with the ninja tour and I thought they where amazing performers.

[iRoper42]

i got to go backstage yesterday night at verizon music center.

[crutchboy90]

how much did that cost ya? or did u have connections....?

[Cghost1031]

Wow....WOW I never thought of it, well I never seen morello talk but he reminds me alot of Barack in the way he talks.

[zackdelarocha8]

please don't insult tom like that. obama has backed out of everything he promised. no surprise.

[socalkickboxer]

that must be why obama is selling his healthcare reform to doctors today like he said, stood up to the arab world but did it with class and open ears like he said, passed a stimulus bill like he said, has since put the economy on an upward climb like he said, passed and equal paid for women bill like he said, started to withdrawl troops from iraq like he said, and has already had more new bills passed than both bushes combined....by the way Tom Morello is an avid obama supporter so stop hating

[theycallmethefatman]

... he isn't an avid obama supporter. he has only said it would be a positive step if we elected him.

[zackdelarocha8]

positive in what way? give blacks positive influence, yeah probably. positive step as in move towards a different direction in a country? not even close. Right now the U.S. national debt is at 11.4 trillion. Look at his public voting record before you give me the "thumbs down" for not agreeing with you. He has been for the war, and his war will be Afghanistan & he's also talking about Pakistan. He's for increasing military power & if the debt were divided by each citizen we would all owe 37k!

[urasmore]

dude chill, he hasnt even been president for a year, and we are nowhere close to being a third world country

[spiralfunhappytime23]

Dude my brother gave away my fucking ticket for the ninja tour in CO on tuesday.... just up and gave it away without telling me until i called before going to bed the night before......

[owenroanquercia]

i just watched these guys last night, they fucking kill.

[iHeem]

did you see them at sasquatch?

[owenroanquercia]

yes

[iHeem]

tight thats where i saw them alwell.

[iHeem]

nice thats the same for me.

[UNIVERSALRESOLUTION]

There lies corrupt people in every culture and nationality....it's just great that our nation is the pinnacle of power and we have the opportunity to address these issues. Also we have the wealth to help a cooperative nation...it's just sad that they don't use our resources for good......what are you going to do with the weapon you bought from the "gun" store?

[dannywalton]

[FunkFight1]

Boots Riley just posted this twitter: "Hey. I heard a rumor that the Street Sweeper album will be released in June". Oh shit! Get ready!

[Foolhollow]

I'm much more happy about this union than Wes Borland getting back with Limp Bizkit. *sigh*

[ragenut2112]

Yea really, I like black light burns.

[Carrzy1]

This video is awkward.

[Andrew11381138]

I like how they say RATM and The Coup like no one's heard them. :D

[Julriksen7]

I cant really tell cuz of the video quality but is that a clash shirt that toms wearing?

[MickOfThor]

It is, The Clash was his favourite childhood band.

And Joe Strummer is one of his idols and the reason why he plays a Telecaster.

[mrvader24]

Street Sweeper is tha shit!!

[afthefragile]

Boots rocks!!! So does Morello!

And...

Viva la Revolucion!!!!!!

[verdictisvengeance]

It's gonna come hard and fast, and motherfuckers won't know what hit 'em. And we're gonna be pumping Street Sweeper out of every speaker all the while! Get ready, get set, GET ON YOUR FEET AND DO IT!

[Ulanka]

no way! your music reminded me of rage against the machine! and I like it! WOW! funny coincidence! :D

[Kintor]

[TheWatchdog]

Socialism ills!

Communism Kills!

Liberty and Justice for all!

[Kintor]

[afthefragile]

capitalism enslaves!!!

[jahluva79]

[PandaOnIce]

I'm loving all this new music from you guys, keep up the awesome work!

[gmac89]

does he remember his side project called rage against the machine?

[Nynexla]

Morello sounds like Obama

[emptypocketpro]

spot on!

[TheWatchdog]

Yes, they both have that Marxist white man voice.

[SuspectOfMurder]

Please kill yourself.

[kevinjames123]

[LoomVideos]
