First-time listen to Rage Against the Machine - Reaction and Vocal Analysis feat. "Bulls on Parade"

Best RATM quote I heard, "The thing about RATM are their lyrics are always relevant. The SAD thing about RATM is that their lyrics are always relevant." Also, for anyone who doesn't know "Bulls on Parade" is an old school slang term that was used for when police would show up in riot gear or just taking any form of action nearby.

True story back in 1992. I worked at their record company as they brought the entire company to a convention. Unless you were a bigwig at the label office, you had no idea who some of the bands that were going to play were because some of them hadn’t had their first record out. Imagine you’re sitting in a hotel convention center ballroom. I think we were at banquet circle tables at 10 o’clock in the morning. The lights go dark and rage against the machine comes on - not singing this song but singing there belting out the lyrics to “killing in the name of” which you don’t know yet so you think that they’re telling everyone “F you they won’t do what you told me” with the “you” being “us” lol. Of course that’s not what it was it was far deeper but in the moment 50-year-old stodgy sales reps sitting there overturning banquet room tables. I wish there had been social media and cell phones with video back then.😂

Nahh, people were doing all sorts of things with their guitar long before Morelo. We used to call in a "bark" when you slide the pick up and down the strings like that.

Zack is a true poet. There are some amazing lyrics spread throughout RATM songs that both tell incredible stories as well as capture so much of the angst of multiple generations against the system. Tom Morello also an amazing guitarist. Definitely continue to go down the RATM rabbit hole, you will be glad you did.

[@Kapauhawaii]

I absolutely love watching you experience for the first time artists and tracks that I and many others have been so affected by. You often bring tears to my eyes🙏🏽

[@520azdc]

Tom Morello does lots of things on guitar no one had ever seen before. He uses every piece of hardware, everything in the signal chain from the strings all the way to the speaker as his instrument and sees all of it as potential for creative expression. If taking the cable out of the jack and touching it to the pickups makes an interesting sound he'll find a way to make music with it. He'll use effects pedal in ways their designers never intended and create whole songs out of the noise. Nothing is off limits. There's no other guitar player like him.

[@benreynolds1989]

[@user-nz5jh6qr6v]

Happy belated to Tom Morello who just turned 60 a few days ago. Definitely one of the most innovative guitarists of the era and this solo is a perfect example of how he'd use a guitar to create noises youd never imagine were coming from a guitar. He's got solos that sound like cats screaming, solos that sound like dj's scratching, solos that sound like harmonicas... And its both sad and wonderful how on topic most of RATM's lyric are to both the era they were coming up in as well as today.

While I could go on about all 4 of their collective, creative genius and how far ahead of their time they were, and Tom Morello especially is a wizard on guitar, you could spend a lot of time on just RAtM - but Morello does 60s folk protest songs as a soloist in The Nightwatchman. He blends metal and hip hop with Street Sweeper Social Club, he does angry 80s hip hop with Prophets of Rage, and is part of a grunge supergroup with members of soundgarden with Audioslave. He’s toured as a member of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street band. He’s got his honors undergrad from Harvard! And he makes guitars do things that you didn’t know it could do. Pure genius.

[@kalimer0968]

Yup. I'm convinced that's the implication they were going for as well.

[@carriepybus8929]

They rally round the family with a pocket full of shells. It is about shotgun shells, and people surrounding not their family but those who are othered. It is about projection of power and control over other people.

[@Libero6]

"They" is important in this line. He's referencing the government alongside the references to the police throughout the song. "They rally 'round the family" is equating politicians to the mafia with the police and military as their enforcers.

Fantastic reaction. You nailed it with the anthem and/or protest style of the song. I’m 53 and vividly remember all of the tension between police and institutions against minority communities. During my teens I was entrenched in the Republican mindset and grew up in a predominantly white area. I moved to Mexico during the late 80’s and came back to the states right at the height of all of this. This song was like a spotlight for issues that many white kids didn’t even know about, because our parents weren’t talking about it. This was a game changer for me. Love this song! Like has been mentioned already, it’s a sad statement that this song is still so relatable today. Government and law enforcement claims to support the American family while their actions all too often don’t support this (their pockets full of gun shells), especially when talking about minorities.

Such an amazing interplay of energies in this song -- it was an absolute bombshell when it came out. The production on the vocals is totally fitting for the vibe. Their advancement of technique was both bold and subtle -- simple repetition hid serious chops -- but the 1000% ENERGY was mind-blowing. I've got an indelible memory of my band pulling into a college campus for a show and being directed around the back for load-in. As we pulled into the little service alley RATM was pounding at high volume and there were kids hanging out of the windows screaming the lyrics to each other. It was a vibe and the show that night was amazing.

Tom Morello - The master of guitar sounds. A Harvard Grad and a brilliant guitar player. Uses a custom installed toggle switch to "cut" sound completely out running various pedals in conjunction with a harmonizer with a screamer pedal to get his amazing sounds. It's very prevalent in the intro of "Know Your Enemy" as well as the solo toward the end of that song. First time i heard that intro I thought it was a Synthesizer of some sort. Was fortunate enough to see one of their final original era concerts in 2000 at the Forum in LA.

RATM is a band I started listening to in the 90's when I was a teenager. They are still relevant - now more than ever - sadly. But man, back in the day you had to read the booklet with all the lyrics that came with the record, because Zack is a poet and his words hit home. It's quite telling that they found their success in Europe, because they were virtually banned from the U.S. back in the day. They spoke truth to power. Anyway, you should check out the following songs by RATM: 1. Killing in the name (released after the Rodney King beating and the L.A. Riots.) 2. Know your enemy 3. Down Rodeo EDIT: Man I almost forgot one of my all-time favourites! 4. Bullet in the head

You can NEVER go wrong with reacting to any RATM song. My favorite lyric is from the song Down Rodeo(as in Rodeo drive) "Can't waste the day when the night brings a hearse, make a move and plead the 5th because you can't plead the 1st." P.s. I think of RATM as a 90's version of the social movement songwriting and instrumentals(more hardcore for sure) like that of the 60's. Raw,cutting edge music that delivered messages we All needed to see,feel and hear even for a 62 year old head banger like me. That,to me is who Rage is. Great reaction. Hopefully more RATM reactions to come.

[@washitokusei6801]

Tom Morello's guitar playing is so unique that they even put disclaimers such as "No samples, keyboards or synthesizers used in the making of this record" and "All sounds made by guitar, bass, drums and vocals" on their albums. Check out any early performance of "Bullet in the Head" to really see what Tom does with his instrument!

The 90s was a time of incredible collaboration comprised of numerous “supergroups” as you’ve also seen in your breakdowns with Temple of the Dog.

"I've never heard anything like this." Most guitarists try to eliminate string noise. Tom Morello made a guitar solo with it. Morello has always been interested in exploring what sounds can be generated from an electric guitar. He was an early adopter of digital effects pedals, and there are several RATM guitar solos that feature truly innovative techniques that stretch the meaning of "playing a guitar."

I was a kid when folk was still on the radio and I had no appreciation of it then so I missed some of the jems.

There's good reason you rarely hear RATM covers - I've never heard anyone match Zach de la Rocha's intensity (yes, including Denzel Curry). Bulls on Parade is just packed so full of musical, lyrical, and political brilliance.
