FIRST TIME HEARING Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name REACTION | APPLIES TODAY?! 🤔

[@m.ericwatson968]

Tom Morello is one of the bravest guitarists I've heard since EVH, the guy throws down such odd guitar solos with utmost confidence and style, their live concert footage is so cool, they threw down the gauntlet live and the audience were always going off

[@marcharley6465]

RATM have lots of good songs. I'd recommend "Down rodeo", "Renegades of funk" and "Take the power back".

[@randycooper3428]

Take the Power Back was the 1st video they did. They also did Bulls On Parade.

[@satched]

Yeah man. Their entire 1st album was great. Remember thrashing it in my teens. How good was 90s music

[@alexandriapitt6934]

calm like a bomb is also a classic

[@Van1973Auken]

Rage and lead singer Zack De LaRoche had eye opening messages, geared toward civil rights and political activism.

[@trhansen3244]

Crap.

[@Joedirt3349]

controlled opposition

[@PhotonJon]

PLEASE do "Know your enemy" by this band. So many great songs but that's a must.

[@nathanford1201]

I second this! Absolute banger as well!

[@profanepersonality]

Yep!!!

[@StefanieJustiniano86]

This is basically a protest chant in song form. It was written around the time of Rodney King and LA riots. Lyrically it's their simplest song, but packs a powerful message.

[@looneygardener]

My son made me listen to this album and read the lyrics. Masterpiece. Got me all riled up and ready for revolution. Lol

[@KoreyVerga]

¡Revolución!

[@k_spats]

The cover features a crop of Malcolm Browne' famous photograph of the self-immolation of Thích Quảng Đức, a Vietnamese Buddhist monk, in Saigon in 1963. The monk was protesting President Ngô Đình Diệm's administration for oppressing the Buddhist religion.

[@volatilemolotov2298]

This was written in response to the Rodney King beating done by the LAPD in the 90s and the riots that followed.

[@benshafer5198]

Great reaction guys. If you enjoy RATM and these lyrics, I would very highly recommend you check out Down Rodeo by them. More of the same, but taken up a few notches lol. It's a big favorite for reactors. Also, along the same lines you might want to check Know Your Rights by The Clash✌

[@m.gideonhoyle409]

IMO, Down Rodeo is the ultimate Rage song... It combines every element that made the band great.

[@keithboyd9582]

Also check out "Sleep Now In The Fire" and "Bullet In The Head".

[@profanepersonality]

Gotta do "Know Your Enemy" with lyrics. Powerful shit, with BARS. This song you reacted to, is meant to drive one point in your head, so it is repeated. Their other songs are much more lyrically extensive.

[@philthemovieguy81]

Other RATM songs you guys should react to: *Bulls On Parade* *Take The Power Back* *Down Rodeo* *Testify* *Darkness Of Greed* *Guerilla Radio* *Sleep Now In The Fire* *Bullet In The Head* *Settle For Nothing* *Know Your Enemy* *Freedom* *No Shelter*

[@danrudnick5252]

The best thing about Rage is that their songs are always relevant. The saddest thing about Rage is that their songs are always relevant.

[@WaterKingCrocodoan]

Saw this exact same truthful comment in another vid, but it’s golden and hurts each time cuz of how truthful it really is.

[@richardcranium5048]

I'd say the saddest thing is that these days you can find them shilling for the machine

[@MainlyHuman]

@@richardcranium5048 are they not still avowed socialist progressives who hate racism and bigotry? They were last time I checked.

[@richardcranium5048]

@@MainlyHuman no there just some cucks pushing commie propaganda, and (not that there's much difference) experimental jabs. Yep it's a crying shame Shilling For the Machine

[@torriezenna653]

"Know your Enemy" is my favorite if you haven't done it yet it is worth it.

[@art3mis290]

Your right, they have no filter, say it like it is, over and over until you get it/hear it. 💯

[@GtiMuchFast]

Rage again the machine -Down Rodeo : works well in all reaction channels

[@seanslaughter5483]

Calm like a Bomb great Rage song !

[@Andyleobl]

Just wrote the same, good choice😁

[@randycooper3428]

Love it!!!

[@villaincorp7728]

their manager or label head wanted them to change their message in their music, so in the music video you see the singer at the end of the song flipping him off and singing "fuck you! I won't do what you tell me!". was a great instance of staying true to the message.

[@theesotericjungle]

He’s also throwing in “now you do what they taught you” and “now you do what they torture” if you listen close to the end of that part.

[@SR-tn6gv]

The line those that those who run forces was supposed to be those that hold office. But the parent group to epic records was like hold up can we do something a bit less lol

[@lightlantern]

I Was So Lucky To Grow Up On RAGE!!!

[@josephamoraz7990]

Oh man you guys definitely need to check out rage against the machine " fistful of steal " and " bullet to the head " LIVE!! 1993

[@jdrosario20]

The smile on your face when he said "fuck you I won't do what you tell me" is when we all felt it. You held back. Listen to it before you hit the gym, hits different

[@xanadu6784]

I love that you got the message that you need to do Lyric videos with RatM just in time to do literally the only song by them where you don't need to look at the lyrics. But yes, every other song, lyrics are a must.

[@Creolequeenj]

Great Reaction I Will always love Rage🔥

[@jamesbarron5590]

Keep Ragin’. Check out Mic Check, Know Your Enemy.

[@StefanieJustiniano86]

Down Rodeo, Mic Check, Vietnow, Darkness, Know Your Enemy, Take the Power Back... all with lyrics.

[@UpInU68]

"Freedom"...one of the most overlooked but important songs by them. The official video for it is a story itself. Really u can't go wrong with any RATM song

[@philkaiser2313]

Ride that Rage!

[@xjstalex1332]

Another one GREAT of theirs from this same album is "Who's the King?"...who's the king who heyyyy?

[@princeofpcos9804]

Original lyric was, 'Some of those in Office' but their label made them change it

[@mpmlopes]

that doesn't sound right. Firstly because RAtM are not exactly the type to change lyrics because of a label. Secondly, because the whole rest of the lyrics is about institutionalised racism in the police forces. Thirdly because office doesn't really rhyme with crosses. Fourthly because I've seen a recording of one of their first shows at some US university campus and I don't recall this song having different lyrics.

[@princeofpcos9804]

@@mpmlopes RATM themselves have used 'Office' on their Twitter

[@mpmlopes]

@@princeofpcos9804 Yes, but that was retroactively and because the US president at the time was openly racist.

[@anthonymirkovich5156]

His dad was an activist .. also .. pocket full of shells good song too

[@ramiromaia592]

My favourite rock band

[@tylerhackner9731]

Love this song. Still very relevant now

[@TellaSignTV]

It'll always be relevant.

[@bigtexdallas257]

Breathe of fresh air when young folks appreciate something with substance

[@Cinnamonrollseveryday]

This is Zack de la Rocha, the GOAT👊🏽😃

[@wandering_penguino]

So like with a lot of punk musicians (a lot of them a very smart) Tom Morelllo the guitarist or this band dropped out of Harvard. He was in band at Harvard with Carolyn Bertozzi who later become a laureate of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2022. Morella's major, unsuprsingy, was political science and hge graduated. Another pretty rad punk musician is Dexter Holland from The Offspring. You can think whatever you like about their music but Holland has done so much for HIV going forward. I am someone who works in it and I can not thank him enough. He went back to school for his PhD and his paper, along with the other co-auther, talks about the sequences of HIV and it was awesome.

[@danebeisheim9793]

You should (If you haven't already) Check out their songs Freedom, Testify, and Wake Up. They are truly a thinking man's agressive music.

[@brookehornback1896]

No group blends rock and rap better than RATM.Tom Marcello is an activists , speaks on several issues.As his mother does/did. Watch his and his mothers back story.Best I've seen.I absolutely adore Tom Marcello.What a man!!

[@module79l28]

*Morello

[@nicp2039]

Zakk never holds back on what he’s trying to say, and there’s always a message in every single line, spit with venom

[@nicp2039]

He’s far from one of the greatest singers ever, but the impact he has with every word raises him to the top. He brings a message, and makes sure it’s heard

[@krisfrederick5001]

Unfortunately, Rage has become more relevant with time than ever...we went the wrong way.

[@jduncanandroid]

A lot of people weren't ready to hear RATM 30 years ago, but they said what they had to say anyway...

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

Also Bruce Springsteen was a pop/rock singer from I think Chicago. He wrote a song about poverty called The Ghost of Tom Joad. RAtM covered it in explosive style, and so 20 or so years later he played it live in a vocal/lead-guitar duet with none other than Tom #Morello!

[@reneeallen3569]

Damn! Y’all should have done the live one at Woodstock’99 to get how powerful this group is. I believe I even left y’all the link to it. Damn!

[@spankeyguitars8457]

The first time I heard this song back in the 1900's was at a strip bar in Sudbury called Solid Gold...this track plus the beautiful girl choosing it as her song to dance to....mind blown!...especially after a few sips of wobbly pop.

[@crimsonclover8314]

I would say try watching a live performance like the ones at Pink pop festival, Bullet in the head and Fist full of steel are 2 great ones too see and have the lyrics pulled up on your phone. Got to catch all the greatness!❤🍀

This song was the Christmas number one in the UK in 2009 because.. reasons. The original release in 1993 didn't chart in the US because of lack of airplay. It sold well in Europe, Australia & New Zealand though.

[@angelaa6498]

Thank you for listening to Rage Against the Machine with lyrics. :) Highly recommend *Down Rodeo* , *Know Your Enemy*, & *Bullet in the Head* to name a few!

[@BUZZDAGEN]

Rage is a hard reaction because you need lyrics for the message and to see the performance for the energy.🤔 Try to run both if you can.

[@jeffburdick869]

All RATM songs are great. But I feel like this song and Bulls on Parade are just at another level of amazing.

[@jenniferandrews1917]

YAASSS! RATM! I highly recommend TAKE THE POWER BACK and BULLET IN THE HEAD and KNOW YOUR ENEMY. Love you guys! ❤️🤘🏻

[@bernhardtsen74]

funniest shit was my kid bro about in the late 1990s thought it was a mannequin that was on fire on the streets! I told him it was a vietnamese buddhist monk who self immolated as sign of protest the countrys oppresion against Buddhism, the picture is from 1963! kid bro freaked out about that picture upon looking at the mans calmness while burning!

[@danrudnick5252]

I know you've reacted to a couple Rage songs. But try Down Rodeo, Know Your Enemy, and Bulls on Parade. With lyrics this time. I think you'll find a whole lot more to them that just kind of blows by when Zach's on a roll.

[@cheebagardens1759]

In 2008, Rage had a free show for the DNC in Denver. It was 🔥

[@laurih.t.8723]

This is just my opinion.. but I always got from these lyrics, that it was religious too... Cuz all religions have killed over the ages... And he's saying "Killing in the Name OF"... Like is it ok to kill others under your particular religion??!! NO! He makes a huge, significant point. We're all the same and just trying to get through this world together. I love that he's singing about the basic fact that we all look to a higher power & why has the govt then used that against us to divide us. Such an amazing song! ❤
