  • @Ericsmums Are you stupid as well as ignorant?

  • Zack, look deep in your so-called pure heart, and spend some of your millions, down south of the boarder where you can undermined the corrupt Mexican government. Oh, wait, you can’t do that because you will be put in jail, or deported, or killed…damn.

  • @Griffin2529 That's such an ignorant comment.

  • This gave me the chills, amazing band. Fox news IS absolute trash.

  • I went the next day. fuck my life.

  • ZACK DE LA ROCHA FOR PRESIDENT 2012!!

    end of the world in which we know only corruption!!

  • as soon as the "wake up" chant starts I get chill down my spine... one of the greatest and most influential bands of all time...

  • yea its so bad here zak u can't do anything.

  • Ericsmums, so just cause they charge for their music like every other band in the whole world that makes them capitalists?

  • I wouldn't give a fuck if every fucker in the white house got assassinated...fuck 'em all

  • LOL they're not socialist just anti-capitalist

  • @mmv5com Actually they are socialist. Tom Morello has described himself as a socialist, and they all believe the same thing that true socialists believe: that every person has a right to universal healthcare, and that every person deserves a good job, and that there shouldn't be a class war going on where the rich only look out for themselves, and the poor get shit on by the rich assholes. Obama was a step in the right direction but he hasn't done enough to help the working class people.

  • @kilosnew can you cite that?

  • @mmv5com Which one? The claim that Tom, and the other guys in the band are socialists? What I said about socialists? Or that Obama was a step in the right direction, but he isn't doing enough? For the socialist claims just look up "Tom Morello Adlercast interview on youtube. Or you can look it up on his bio on wiki. He is listed as an american socialist. All the band members are. Since I am a socialist I think In would know what true socialists are for. And Obama didn't make HC universal.

  • @kilosnew I read somewhere that Zack was a Libertarian Socialist so yeah, I would easily believe that they are Socialist. I like how people think that Socialism is bad having no idea what the standards are. This country is so fucked with people who run their mouths off with no idea what their saying. I'll take Socialism over Capitalism anyday, not from what history has taught us about it, but from the purity of it.

  • calm down people, I dont think hes against soldiers, hes against our fucked out government.

  • zeitgiest

  • it no matter what they r socialist anarchist communist or whatever what matters is that they wana wake ppl up n let us know our government has been n still lying to us they r brave enough 2 do it even though we know what happen 2 John Lennon, Luther King Jr,n JFK, BFK, the rest of the freedom fighters n ppl that wanted 2 make changes...

  • Yeah, they understand politics too much to be anarchist.

  • Love this band a great social activist Anarchist group trying to bring the message out.

  • its not anarchist.. its socialist

  • So where ya get your information I know its your opinion right that its socialist

  • I believe they are socialists, but they are first and foremost anti-capitalists. They support everyone who struggles against capitalism.

  • great job

  • i almost died at this concert

  • wat r u talking about?

  • my family ENSLAVED MY MIND from birth, priests are the real devils, FUCK CHRISTIANITY FUCK every religion related to it, and MOTHERFUCK you if you subscribe to them. WAKE UP MOTHERFUCKER, your head's gonna roll.

    december 21st 2012, its coming... i cant wait. if i disappear, the government found a special place for me, a nice hole somewhere, until then ILL NEVER STOP WORKING UNTIL I CAN HELP PEOPLE BE FREE......WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAKE UP

  • im 23 yrs of age, but im finally free. i took the journey to the center of my mind. freedom is there, its waiting for everyone, zack gave me more of an education on political/educational realities in my teens than i ever wouldve gotten in any school, ANYWHERE. everyone out there, if ur a part of the system, get out or off yourself. if you can't, then fuck you. keep it up zack, youre doing good work. i never wouldve had to take the journey back to the center if it wasnt for catholicism.

  • damn man feel the same way zack is a very wise man n dont forget about tom. im glad 2 hear n know that atleast there're some ppl waking up

  • hell yea zach

  • Comment removed

  • He did'nt say its a good thing the terrorists are standing up against US soldiers he said we need to support the Iraqi citizens that are standing up against the US invasion. If China invaded us today should we just sit back and let them push their ideology onto us and then exploit all of our recourses?

  • "A couple of months ago, these fascist motherfuckers at the Fox News Network. attempted to pin this band into a corner by suggesting that we said that the president should be assassinated. Nah, what we said was that he should be brought to trial as war criminal and hung and shot. THAT'S what we said!"

  • Wow. Cool comment.

  • go to infowars dotcom to do more than just scratch the surface. watch loose change. learn that 9/11 was an inside job. once you internalize this reality, you will begin to understand how truly enslaved we all are, in the western world.  the situation is far more dire than this sony-sponsored ego-rock could ever have suggested

  • obama deseption? thats a good one.

  • Are you retarded?

  • I bought into the direction that the overwhelming majority of the facts and evidence led me. If you're lame enough to need a documentary to label that, that's not my problem. As far as the science behind it, i'm not sure exactly what you're referring to. Surely not the science that says that jet fuel burns at a maximum temperature of 1600 degrees, and steel needs minimum temperatures of 2300 deg to lose its structural integrity. Or the science that found Thermite, an explosive, at the scene.

  • See, here is the problem with people who only look at parts of the story and not the whole. Yes, jet fuel alone doesn't burn hot enough, but you have a plane basically sheering the coverings off of the wall, which not only adds to the fire, but the integrity of the steel is compromised at that point. Scientific evidence backs these facts up. The other problem is that a control demolition would of been started at the bottom, not the top.

  • Your statement is vague and unscientific. I mention temperatures, and precise scientific evidence (google physicist Steven Jones and Thermite) and you offer phrases like 'basically sheering the coverings off of the wall' and 'adds to the fire' and then have the audacity to pretend that A. these statements are facts, instead of just your opinion, and B. that there is some scientific evidence that backs 'these facts up.' As far as the demolition starting at the bottom, there is much evidence to

  • support this possibility, namely the multitude of eyewitness accounts (not reported by the mainstream media) of explosions originating in the basements of the buildings, First Responders reporting having rescued victims from the lower levels and basements, and also literally dozens of video testimonies of people discussing explosions other than the two from the planes' impact. Then there's the NASA photographs of the molten steel which remained in a molten state for months beneath the rubble.

  • It's not about Bush, or Cheney, or the 'administration' How does Zach de la rocha expect to wake anyone up if he won't kick any facts? The world is controlled by an elite class of international pirates, known popularly as the 'illuminati'. But call them what you will, the truth is that when you focus on Bush, or Cheney, or Obama, of any of these assclowns, your attention is diverted from the true criminal class, which is the INTERNATIONAL BANKERS.

  • you have to fight corruption from the bottom up

  • Have you seen the Zeitgest documentaries? You should watch "The Esoteric Agenda" and "Kymatica" also, scary stuff. All of the presidents and people of power without exception have been a part of that secret society or it's affiliates.

  • Sorry to kick your soapbox out but those knowingly compliant with these 'pirates' are just as guilty and just as bad. What are we going to do, forget them because 'the mean bankers told us to do it' ? An accessory to murder goes down for the same crime. We war against all of them, not just the bankers.

  • How about I fuckin' merk anyone who has shit against Zack DLR or Rage.

  • rage is sick

  • Man fuck that, that's what rage is about! See right through the red white and blue disguises!

  • This is why I grew to hate RATM. Mixing politics with music=unoriginality.

  • Here are a few other musicians/bands that mixed politics with music...

    Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Hendrix, Bob Dylan, REM, The Ramones, Prince, The Eagles, Elvis Costello, Sting...

    I disagree with you and believe that mixing politics with music = originality and a powerful message.

  • No, they aren't bleeding heart liberals who are unhappy with the "system" who bullshit onstage about something a majority of the fans have no clue about.

  • Actually the majority of the bands/musicians I listed are "bleeding heart liberals" who are unhappy with the system. I think what you meant to say is you don't like it when bands mix political messages you disagree with, with music...

  • I bet over half the people in the crowd have no idea what he's talking about I'm mean its cool the he's bring these issues to our attention but i'm sure what he said will be forgotten hours later. Fantastic music but just a little bit preachy at the same time.

  • yorue a dumb ass thats the zapatista flag. and shit taste in music? youre a fucking moron

  • Firstly it's spelled you're, morons have excellent grammar! Secondly the EZLN (users of the zapatista flag) have an ideology strongly based on Marxism and socialism, which is pretty close to communism!

    Be like jigsoreincarnate, above, far more eloquent in putting part of your (note the different use of you're and your) argument and i think a little bit of mine across!

  • Watch out people it's the grammar police on YouTube!

  • Grammar police? I couldn't really care less about correct grammar, I just don't like being called a moron because I dont like a band or their political stance. Mix music with politics if you like but rage are hypocrites, why do these revolutionary, left wing, do it for the people and not for the big businesses work for a massive record label?

  • So let me get this straight, you go onto YouTube, watch a RATM clip and say that they are "cocks" and their "fans are fuckin rich white kids with a shite taste in music". Then you are surprised that someone calls you a moron because you insulted them first. I think either you fail to understand the definition of hypocrite or this is a perfect example of irony.

  • I've been to a rage gig and a good portion of the fans were rich white kids, and I think their music is gash. What's hypocritical about that? What part of that is moronic? I just think that if you're going to put yourself across as these revolutionaries then dont make loads of money for a big company and then happily cash the cheque they give you! Also, there's plenty of festivals in Scotland, why play the big corporate one? I just think they should back up their words with some action!

  • It's hypocritical to say that you don't like being called a moron because someone offended you when your initial post was offensive to RAGE fans, it is condescending and completely uncalled for. Secondly, your observation at a single RAGE gig does not justify your generalization that RAGE fans are rich white kids. You are implying that there you cannot be white and rich and support RAGE. What does race have anything to do with it?

  • What does being rich have anything to do with RAGE's message. Revolutionaries can be wealthy and will actually help to promote peaceful change through funding and charitable donations. I never said you were moronic, I simply pointed out that you were being hypocritical by insulting a whole audience group on a public forum by complaining that one individual did the same to you. Lastly, in order to properly engage in a civil disagreement you should abstain from using derogatory comments

  • and messages that will surely illicit negative and angry responses. Are you really surprised that someone called you a moron after you posted your first comment? This is a video of RAGE where fans unite. Why would you even bother to post such a negative comment on a video you dislike if you would have a reaction of surprise and obvious discontent. As for your question, why play the big corporate gig in Scotland? Revolutionary change can take many forms and mitigate itself through various

  • channels. Consider this, if De La Rocha wanted to reach the largest possible audience to challenge the system (including Big Corporations) then maybe he was simply using the system to his advantage. Obviously you disagree with their political message and you believe that their actions are hypocritical. However, you don't know why they do things. RAGE could strictly perform underground and avoid big business and corporations but it might undermine their efforts. MLK performed at white venues.

  • I don't have anymore time to devote to this debate, I simply posted my initial reply to your comment in jest. I found it entertaining that someone would be so angry that someone responded to their negative comment. I don't agree with everything that RAGE advocates, but I respect their message and their fans.

    Regards,

    Let the almighty Flying Spaghetti Monster grace you with his noodly appendage. FSM

  • I'm not too hurt!!! I tend to go around the rage videos and slag them cos you guys are all really touchy about it and I get bored with my uni work sometimes! Maybe see you on the one where all the minted wall street greed merchants love ratm, bet zachy boy loved that!

    But you're right, it was great at T how they reached a big audience, after the gig we went back to the tent to unite over revolution. Nah we got out of our nuts and partied my capitalist cash away with birds woooooooooo!

  • In other words you're an asshole who posts comments to make people angry simply for kicks. Glad that you openly admit to being a prick. I pity you. Have a nice life you weak minded fool.

  • haha thanks for that mr. "i dont have any more time for this debate...turns out you're one of the much much touchier than usual rage fans!!!

    I might be an asshole but it's sadcases like you that make this fun! mwahahahahahahahaha!

    Back to the uni work so I can go and work for a big faceless corporation that takes advantage of poor people for profit, jeez, if I get really good reults I could work for the same one that rage do!!!

  • LOL This isn't a debate anymore, you and I agree you're an asshole... I couldn't be more pleased. :)

  • Im really glad that you're pleased dude, i mean, this whole sad youtube debatings just a wee hobby of mine but it sounds like you've really put your heart into it!!!

    Now HunterAVH, if you rise to the bait again and reply (which would be reaaaaally sad since you said you were too busy and mature for this little fight 3 whole days ago) i'l reply back but i've got exams to study for so go n jack one out to pink instead please!

  • You've lost the argument, your insults are weak, there's nothing left to say... Except that you need a new hobby....

  • hey asswipe, rage is just trying so spread its message. and when you live in a capatilist society and the currency of the dissemination of information goes through capitalistic channels, thats all youve got. noam chomsky isnt going to object to his books being sold at barnes and noble, thats where books are sold.

  • Power to the Peaceful

  • Yeeeeah you tell 'em son

  • don't forget white people immigrated to america only to kick out native americans...who became the minority very easily...i don't know, shit's fucked

  • dont forget a lot of Mexican people also got kicked out of the now U.S. south west during the manifest destiny when U.S. took half of Mexicos land

  • And now Mexicans are forced to feel as if they are foreigners in their own native land. it is absurd!

  • you're right, man. thanks for making that point.

  • yawn. when white people start mass immigrating into 'minority' countries then you're a loud an opinion. till then white is right.

    I love rage but just keep cashing those GEFFEN Records checks zakkie. You're about as eager to pick up a gun for revolution as Dubya was during the Vietnam war.  Hypocrites the lot of you WAKE UP!!!!

  • I went to Rock The Bells in San Fran.

    100% pure adrenline

  • Zack = the savior of America

  • wow, i love zach, SOO HAPPY THEYRE GETTING BACK TOGETHER!

    Fuck Yeaah!

  • THEY ARE!?!?!?!?!? are they playing anywhere?

  • i dont know. YET

    lol. but they might get back together. well thats at least what i heard. i think that is why audioslave broke up.

  • wake up people....they're blinding us, they poison us to make us weak...nobody can't stop this but us...WAKE UP, STAND UP ...and FIGHT!!!!

    " ...it's better to live one day as a lion, than a thousand years as a lamb..."

  • Fox = garbage

    RATM = truth

    Organize!

  • "And if we truly want to end this fucking miserable war, we have to stand up with the same force that the Iraqi youth are standing up with every day, and bring these motherfuckers to their knees. Wake up!"

  • What he just said,Put knots in my throat,and nearly tears on my eyelids,its so beautiful the way he stands up for what he believes in,and forces it the way he has to,and how he talks about the Iraqi children,and the INNOCENT Iraqi people,He is truly a smart man,and as evil and protestent and violent as he may seem,Im sure he truly cares about making a good difference,and this influenced me so much..

  • I love you zach,

    Keep up your knowledge,Keep up your good work,keep up your good music,keep up your good looks,keep up your good will..I love you.

  • This was excellent, I was there also!

    I hope they come around again, and I couldn't agree more with his words!

  • so was i. that was some ill shit

  • i was fucking there

  • Zack, we love you!

  • Thank you so much for this.. I was quite disappointed they didn't play wake up and give a speech at leeds this year, but then they were so awesome it didn't really matter

  • FOXHOUND right what public relations department are you with? I mean seriously, propaganda is elementary school like i'm telling on you please get a head check or a new job or something, are you quelling something, and also to everyone else he never once said the words I hate america, and I don't care anymore I feel like him like we should feel sick and tired and ready to do something, like help are communities good positive things can change this situation, we have to work togetherThats america

  • sigh...I love his overall message but I can't say that he paints the iraqi situation with any realism or clarity. Kinda makes him look like a dumbass, despite the wisdom of his message.

  • I'm not in the military, so I don't know what is going on in Iraq other than what I read about, see on the news, and in documentaries. From what I have gained from that, Zach seems to give a clear description. What about his speech do you think was inaccurate?

  • Well, painting a picture of iraqi citizens being subjugated and oppressed and fighting such a military regime. The truth is they are just trying to survive. The goals of the US military in iraq are not to do either oppressing or subjugating and thus the "resistance" for the most part does not come from the regular iraqis, youthful or otherwise.

  • I think that our people on the ground have no desire to subjugate or oppress the people of Iraq. But, sadly, as we now know (via the freedom of info. act of 1966) our government has a long standing history of using our substantial military and political influence to subjugate vulnerable countries for the purpose of augmenting the USAs economic prospects. I agree that the resistance may represent a minority of the iraq people, but that does not mean that they are at odds with the slient majority.

  • if you love america so much why dont you enlist

  • Comment removed

  • be peaceful but not pasive

  • one man who would die vs. the thousands he's gotten killed. real loss losing bush huh?

  • Penguin367 and come back to what a broken country nahh we will suffer here besides you have a better chance of dying in a car crash then in war so I don't understand why you think that being in a war has something to do with loving any person of america, being ingrateful is not a wise thing is it? We take our chances.

  • cause then it keeps on sucking.

  • So was I!!! Its the truest shit you'll ever hear someone speak about the war.. Its ppl defending themselves against an unfair power, being forced to surrender themselves for their country. To do their best to keep their ppl from being brought down.

    Sure Sadam was a vicious bastard, but it wasnt our say to tell another country how it should be reined. Let THEIR ppl come up & fix what they need. Now, America's all in their shit trying to take over. Bc our prez thinks we're oh so suprior..

  • i was totally there for that!

  • fuck uu i completely agree with what zack is saying .....dude how wud u feel if ur country got invaded by another country for a stupid reason like they might have waepons of mass distruction and later finds out that there arnt any soo they say ok well now that were here lets just make up another reason and continue killing them cus if we back out ppl might think were afraid and its ok how many od our soldiers get killed in the proses .... hey im srry just pissed off T_T

  • mehhh... its just that people act like they know what it is like to be the president.. i kno dudes that stress out making simple day to day decisions... how can we kno what its like to run a country and TRY to be a part of world peace??? ok, so the towers go down.. what next? do we just make a public service announcement to the mean terrorists and dictators to "please stop that"?? dude come on! life loss aint cool no matter what but military peeps are there to protect us. zack for pres..lol!

  • umm yea we dnt know whats it like to be president but he got a lot of ppl who advised him not to and he did it Without just cause or reason without legal or moral justification and without a thread of proof that Iraq directly threatens the security of the United States soo wat i think is that he just didnt know how to respond to the terrorists soo he acted without evan thinking im sayin every country needs a president who have enough qualifications and the mindset soo yea umm thats what i think

  • and second of all Iraq had nothing to do with 911 so I dont understand why we are in war with Iraq. I also dont understand how our solution to 911 and Americans dying is sending more Americans to war to die????

  • first of all when a guy runs for president he needs to be prepared for anything, the worst possible thing that can happen... thats why we dont have an everyday "dude" run for president, but we unfortunately do have a shitty president (BUSH). and second of all Iraq had nothing to do with 911 so I dont understand why we are in war with Iraq. I also dont understand how our solution to 911 and Americans dying is sending more Americans to war to die????

  • lol. i totally disagree but its kinda funny

  • idiot

  • no fuck media in general. the newspapers, the magazines, cnn, nbc, and fox all have the same agenda.

  • They do donate a lot. They try as hard as they can to get all over the media so they can alert as many people as possible. As far as their merch goes, most of that is their record companies.

  • Yeah Zack, fuck fox news. You have the right to say what the fuck you want to say.

    Fuck you i wont do what you tell me. RATM>

  • first: they use the media , so many people as possible can get their message.

    second: the most merch is not from than band.. many people duplikate

    third: do you know if they take the money for their own?? do you know if they give their money tro poor money and help them? noo??

    so fuck you and shut up

  • Ever think they use that money to advance social justice?

  • Did you know that Che left Fidel Castro´s administration in Cuba because Fidel became a dictator???

    You must READ more about Ernesto "Che" Guevara before you say that he is a murderer!

  • Simply leaving because the form of government changes doesn't discount the ending of a life.

  • Whose life? The lives of those who opposed Fulgencio Batista or Fidel Castro?

  • I guess Che would've shared some teargas, arrest time and rallies with them. Only it would've been some jail time if he actually came to blow some heads off, not that it should've been theirs. What do you think ?

    I don't think ratm will say buy what we sell. Like you can't find the discography on flac or mp3 or the concerts on DVDs or rips. It's simple - you like the band - you buy to have something from them. This doesn't mean you don't share what they do or that they have nothing real to say.

  • It's about fucking time someone realizes that IRAQIS are dying too!

  • Que grande Zak,Hasta La Victoria Siempre!.

  • loko5555, I know of no one, and i mean no one who has even the slighest bit of respect for the american people! so fuck u

  • man..i saw RATM 2 days ago here in madrid and they were..just...FREAKIN FUCKIN AWESOME...ZAK DE LA ROCHA IS THE NEW CHE GUEVARA......he and jello biafra should team up and be politicians dude,really...THEYRE SO FUCKIN CLEAR IN THEIR HEADS AND KNOW SO WELL WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW...shit i just admire them too much...

  • While I love Rage's sound, and I respect Zack De La Rocha as an artist, I kind of feel as though the people following him are only doing so as a popularity thing. To be quite honest, it's easy for people to speak out against Fox News for being a right-wing channel, but if you look at the liberalism of almost all other stations, it's hypocritical of these types of people to call Fox out for being biased. Kind of irks me.

  • In addition, I've witnessed firsthand the gratitude and appreciation that the so-called "Iraqi Youth" have shown for help from American troops in the villages in towns. If they want to revolt, rebel, and keep the Iraqi government the helpless fledgling that it is, so be it. The quality of like in that part of the world is not ever going to increase with that sort of mentality.

  • You silly person. Those American troops are occupiers, and that Iraqi government marches to the orders of Washington. Iraqi people understand if they want true sovereignty, Iraqi destiny has to be in their hands, and they have to have a fully sovereign state, not an American client state obeying its imperial master. Enough praise can not be given to the brave Iraqi insurgents who have tied down the greatest and most ruthless imperial power in world history and prevented it from waging more war.

  • you actually watch FUX "news"?

  • all media is controlled by corporations, corpratism is fascism (mussolini said so himself) therefor all news and media is actually fascism and more likely unilaterally conservative, not liberal

  • Fuck fox. Traing to control northamerican people? well the rest of the world trust you USA people, show them who is in charge

  • fuck fox news....tom morello and de la rocha are gods.

  • that brother is my idol plain and simple

  • uphold a political idealogy that is simply dead? francis13oww and you?a idealogy that never worked!

  • ideaology never dies, thats the base for democracy

  • A ideology that is dead, francis13oww? There were more than 60,000 people cheering at Coachella, me being one of them (I can prove if you like that I was there). 60,000 people doesn't sound like a dead ideology to me.

  • 'wake up' we should all just listen to rage and do it make changes

  • WAAAAAAKE UPPPPP

  • u idiots who r vashing on zack need to wake up!!!!

  • i hat when people listen to ratm because JUST they are hardcore rock

    like i sit on the computer and someone hears

    "how i could just kill a man, here is something.."

    then theyre like "hey what is that turn that crap off"

  • fook

  • ZACH DE LA ROCHA FOR PRESIDENT!!!

  • Fuck Fox News

  • lol the other media groups are NOT liberal dumbass, they are all corporate run....there is no such thing as the liberal media

  • I'm with djphatd on this one. I'm english, and therefore have no idea of the political persuasion of american news networks. i think the point here is that they misquoted and manipulated de la rocha's words in order to paint them in a different light and in order to skew the meaning of the message rage were trying to get across. for that reason i agree, Fuck Fox News.

  • WAKE UP!!!!

  • this is amazing. This speech sends tingles down my spine every fucking time

  • fucking right zack fucking right

  • It seems you're the idiot. it's not "An" it's "A".

  • A ranting idiot? He's speaking the truth. Zack de la Rocha is one of the people whom I respect the most and look up to.

  • i do.

  • Che Guevara rules, shut up dude.

  • runetang, let me guess, you own a Che shirt, but you don't know shit about him? Don't keep eating that propaganda their feeding you!

  • Lol, I know more about Che than even you. I own multiple novels on him, both critical and favoring him, documentary style, case book style, and biography style. I said he rules just to pull your chain since you tried to convey something meaningful via YouTube comments! No point in trying man..

  • In all truth, Fidel is the real bad guy of the bunch, at least Che didn't want to keep any seized power; instead he devoted his life to guerrilla operations abroad aimed at liberating impoverished peoples, which eventually resulted in his capture and execution by a CIA trained Bolivian Army Command of some 400 troops (versus Che's 16 guerrillas).
