Rage Against The Machine - WGA Writers Strike @ Fox Plaza

[Huzar1683]

I dont know who this bobywins is...... but fuck him! Fuck that motherfucker........

[Zk8er35]

Tom's acoustic guitar written with "Whatever it takes"...is just fuckin' cool.

[xxxklaudxxx]

FUCKIN AWESOMEEE RATM FOR EVER !!!!!! AND FUCK YOU bobywins

[xxxklaudxxx]

FUCK YOU bobywins MOTHERFUCKER

[bobywins]

this guys are fucking millionares, they are rich because of the big corporations, fuck this false socialists

[mici54]

@bobywins what are you talking about???

they speak the truth, they donate massive amounts to charity and to activist groups around the world!!

they show up to a strike as a sign of solidatiy...

and all you can do is talk about false soialists??

in 2010 they are doing a free gig in the uk because of the fact they were voted christmas number one...

all i will say is fair play....and if they are millionaires, they stand to lose alot from that they rally for.....so why do it?

[clarkgun]

@mici54 Yeh man and what a gig it was! Dont listen to all these dumb fucks who try to discredit Rage or any other symbol of hope and freedom that we seem to have left in this world. They are just blind fools who have been brainwashed by the system.

[policestory]

@bobywins They've also given back as much as they have taken in. Millions of dollars raised for different organizations globally. What the fuck have you ever done?

[John3285]

FUCK YOU!!!!!!!

[1992RATM]

this is true Ratm style

[Crasstian]

LOL RATM is studio ready at anytime... RATM forever!

[JmylesJ]

Sure Shark Fins @ 0:32 They Work Great!

[tomthepope]

wow, well paid white collar on stike.

[evilempire96]

Rage on acoustic, just doesn't work.

[Guerillaradio13]

and you call yaself a fan?

[evilempire96]

i travelled from london to new york to see them in 2007, waited for them in the rain for 8 hours. i have bought all their albums/dvds - so i dunno if that does make me a fan?

in my previous statement, i was just saying acoustic IN MY OPINION, can't replicate the intensity and urban sound of rage as effectivley wen they play electric.

but better thumb me down, constructive criticism is not tolerated on youtube.

[Guerillaradio13]

i actually didnt even give a thumb down i was just saying "call yourself a fan" lol

sorry if you took any insult in my reply.

[jimnugget420]

you really think zach watches reality shows and desperate house wives? lol fuck that shit

[SilverNrGy985]

@jimnugget420 i hope your right, i mean i just can't see someone who speaks about revolting against the system going to watch reality tv and desperate housewife lol RATM is dope though and Zach always speaks the truth!

[fullmetalfunk]

It's RoCHa like with the ch sound. I thouht it was pronounced Roca. Hmmm...I learn something new everyday.

[Redstar226]

I think ZDLR was being ironic lol

[CamraLightsAction]

Denzel Washington FTW!!! 3:10

[44eelz]

i think its the Allstate guy

That's Allstate's stand...

[Edthump]

dats the guy who acts as the president in a series called "24", hes pretty gud at acting.

[PornoPlaylist]

the writers should have striked a long time ago. I will never understand how the people who write the material make next to nothing compared with the actors and actresses who memorize lines and feed them back into a camera at different angles make more money.

[pgalvi87]

the actors are ungrateful the writers should have went on strike 15 years ago.

[fugiware]

0:55, those are the guys from Reno 911 right?

[gnrev]

Oh yeah. What sucked about this demonstration is that it got so much celebrity attention that it lost all meaning. It's cool that de la Rocha and Morello were there, but wtf? Jesse Jackson? come on, it's a writers strike, not a celebrity pow-wow

[woodside4life]

cue the usual jesse jackson camera shot...

[fullmetalfunk]

I'm cool with Jesse Jackson...Al Sharpton however makes me angry, and so does Fred Phelps, and Anne fucking Coulter.

[justiniscoolohyea]

lol crack a beer and watch desperate housewives?

wow i cant picture that

[aussieangie]

YES ..RIGHT ON !!

The writers are the backbone to the success of these shows and deserve every cent they've earned.

..yet just can't picture Zack ...cracking open a beer watching Desperate housewives somehow.

(ya gotta love him) !!

[BatistaPassos]

What was the strike about? im not informed of that, could someone explain to me the situation?

thank you.

[yobimania246]

The writers ans script writers of many of tv's best shows are fighting and disputing over poor wages and rights, whilst the owners of the shows are making millions.

[BatistaPassos]

cool thanks for the reply!

[yobimania246]

no problem

[bassist789]

tom shouldve done the solo it would've been funny

[alphacrisis]

rage should make an unplugged album

might sound funny though

[drumstix777]

zack de la rocha for president!!!

[AngryPrawn]

FIGHT THE MACHINE! (lol)

[Koolkeithmathew]

Im all for a fair share of the wealth, but when these writers went on strike they all shit on all of the other people that go into making TV shows. It goes beyond the writers IMO.

[JIBeans]

Instead of saying "they all shit on all of the other people that go into making TV shows" You should say, "They took a stand, The rest of the industry should of followed suit and stood up for themselves and their colleagues"

[Drakulj]

Hmm I'm pretty baffled that RATM cared about this.

[shone1178]

writers are hard workers, not all of them are part of the bipartisan propaganda machine.

[soulismissing]

damn right, they deserve more of the money for what they do than these fat rich fucks that are rich as hell and act like they own us all...i said the same shit when this was going down...i love t.v. and all but these people deserve their money...and i had not issue with the strike ...rage is there for all that are being oppressed.

[UcanbeGOD]

I agree that the writers are the backbone of the industry and I have enjoyed the talent they put forth in a tv show. I hate reality tv, it sucks the life out of you right there on the sofa! Unfortunately, I could not care less about tv now, I don't watch anything but the weather in the morning. Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing the whole thing crumble.

[watermelon4]

I like that little improv he does, enjoyed this

[figocooldude]

ANARCHISM!!!

[anarkids]

iww is best for workers. german fau is with you...standing up and standing strong!

[RagingRhyno21]

The US would be so much better if most of it's citizens were like Tom Morello and Zack De La Rocha.

[YertleDaTurtle]

I love Zack De La Rocha, you can kinda see that little sense of humor that he has.

[RageGirl95]

everything zack says is so true!!

[MasterEvZ]

that was awesome! , good acoustic version of bulls on parade!

[EnigmaticMWizard]

this video is great!

[VoiceofConclusion]

Goddamn. Zach de la Rocha has this amazing ability to make a group of people believe in themselves. He isn't just supporting the writers because they're solely striking, but he is supporting them telling CEOs to shove it, to slide out the backdrop of all these 'witty' showhosts. That is why he is great. And damn he is so creative and true with his lyrics, and just changes them at will. A true man filled with the spirit of Truth, Hope, and Justice.

[easideshady]

these guys hav always talked so much shit about da media and their propaganda n now their out ther suporting da people who write al that shit n saying that their rich ass's r part of da labor movement. BULL SHIT. Id lik 2 see those fuckers do wat i do 4 da same wages. Face it. Zac and tom r nothing but hypocrites n sell outs.

[Decipi91]

I'll give you a right to an opinion when you fully grasp the concept of English. It's not a progression of "da's" and "n's"

[lbeachmo86]

the only reason i did that is so it would fit.

[Decipi91]

AND ZACK SMILES

HE DOESN'T DO THAT

EVER

[yuhc]

yes he does...in fact, he does all the time...he's not some fuckin robot

[beanday2]

dude they did until they were like 18 and they broke out. all of rage was born in a ghetto in LA... and if u make so little money how come ur on youtube?

[Plagun]

actually, Tom Morello was born and raised in New York City, im pretty sure

[Decipi91]

Your right on that, Tom grew up with a very privileged life and as far as I'm concerned, the fact that even though he could have gone and become perfect rich, he made music. Instead of making a shit load of money and taking care of himself, he saw injustices and decided to expose them to the public. It's harder to drop all your privileges and speak for the weak and voiceless.

[billyn]

Tom was born in NYC but raised in the (fine) town of Libertyville Illinois which Im from also. I lol'd when Zack mentioned cracking open a beer and watching Desperate Housewives...lol

[yuhc]

not really...the "media" is the executors, CO's, and censors...rage was against THEM. not the writer who just writes, thats it. the people higher than the writers are the ones who rip them off and take advantage of their work. zack is still the same amazing activist, as well is tom....DUMBASS!!

[lbeachmo86]

if i help kill someone, am i just as guilty of murder or are you gona forgive me?

[yuhc]

dick...how are you gonna compare murder to this?...the writers just want a fare share of the money that the producers and actors make...writers are artist too, they deserve the same fare share of money for the work that they do.

[lbeachmo86]

You think they write what they want? A real artist doesn't have a chain around his/her neck. All there doing is feeding everyone's ignorance. Most people now days live very busy lives and their only outlet to the world is TV. Can people really make wise decisions from watching TV?

[yuhc]

well if you put it that way...no, of course not, but the people watching tv know this...they should know not to try to take advise from some fuckin sitcom n shit. but you're missing the point, rage didnt talk about like, "sitcom" shows or "drama" shows...they talked about the news, commercials, informationals and shit like that, propaganda and other tools that the government use to try and manipulate your opinion....not fuckin, will n grace haha

[sgtpeppers295]

you're fucking ignorant.

[BatistaPassos]

was that post to me? if so, look at your sentence, and see whos ignorant here, lol youre not only ignorant, i wont make a list of what you are, wont waste time with people like you.

[sgtpeppers295]

no lol sorry it was to easidestory or something i think i clicked the wrong reply or something haha wow sorry i'm an idiot

[kopite2222]

its not just the shows, the music industry is basically in the same situatuin as well, unless you use itunes to actually buy songs, or buy Cd's the artist you're listening to probably doesn't have that multi million dollar house like people imagine, they probably are regular people like us, and music artists need that money... why? because if you like their music then they deserve that money

[VoiceofConclusion]

Yes, they need that 2 dollars the record company gives you. Newsflash: CD money goes to producers, record companies, etc. The artists make their money from touring and concerts. Like all artists, they make money by PERFORMING

[LuckyLemmons]

That was amazing! Somehow I cant picture Zach watching Desperate Housewives lol

[easideshady]

about time. someone who actually knows something about something

[gotek23]

king zack and prince Tom!!!!!

fuckin best!!!

incredible, really, i never thought americans could strike, and its fuckin funny that the comunity strikin is the one of the shows writers, well it seems in the life of today most important things are the shows!!!!

[gotek23]

well any way i think that the internet made a real fuckin mess and there aren't all that money going around like it used to be, and the fault is of each one of us, of you tube for example, each illegal downloads is taking away profits to the producers, which have to afford all the realisation costs and also the paiment of the residuals to the writers,

[gotek23]

well, i think is time for a total revolution of the media broadcasting, i propose free video for everyont!!! uhiuhiuhuii

they rally round the family

with a pocket full shells!!!!

boh boh

bun babylon

faya bun!!!

[surfsno2008]

rage is back!

thank god!

they can save music and piss off the govt.

good but

jesse jackson is an ass however...

[Vulg4r]

Was that billy dee williams..

[stevnricke]

u r fucking embarrassing to the human race. i hope you are joking, but i don't think you are.

[Vulg4r]

Your grasp of the English language is whats embarrassing.

[stevnricke]

What's embarrassing about it?

[jh0009]

Great filmmaking.

[mightyhighroller]

burn hollywood burn, taking down tinseltown

burn hollywood burn, down to the ground

burn hollywood burn, burn hollywood burn

[nastybastard21]

[KeychainLove]

[KeychainLove]

[lbeachmo]

[Dan32]

would you stop going to tom and rage videos and being a dick no one cares alright.

[easideshady]

not being a dick. just speaking some truth.

[yuhc]

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[azoltan]

Hell yeah

[joeydoey]

This was awesome. I agree with that guy^ about acoustic rage being a treat, it really is.

[ZapatistaDiF]

Awesome video! Hearing Rage acoustic is a real treat.

[VoiceofConclusion]

Yea, Zach's lyrics are nice just with a beat behind them. It makes it like Saul Williams or something. Zach should definitely be in History.

[Teslacoil33]

I wouldn't be suprised if in a few hundred years people are studying the revolution brought on by Rage Against The Machine.

[irisvocal]

This is real!
