Rage Against The Machine - Bulls On Parade | REACTION

[@scottclark3761]

He was talking about the 90's conservatives that rallied around family values, while funding the military industrial complex. Weapons, not homes, not food, not need, just feed the war cannibal animal. You really need lyrics for RATM. Dude drops history books in his bars. How did he play guitar that way? He's Tom Morello. That's just a thing.

[@kikivon3501]

Sad thing is, their playbook hasn’t changed much…..the politicians

[@wendyreveyoso3731]

That’s just HIS thing ❤❤ Great comment… i agree with needing lyrics for sure

[@garryiglesias4074]

@@kikivon3501 It's an old playbook, Roman Empire is still alive...

[@mips19]

😂He’s Tom Morello. That’s just his thing. Perfectly said.

[@MattMonk]

How things have changed 30 years later. Now both sides fund the military industrial complex.

[@tnightwolf]

3:02 "What we don't know will keep the contracts alive and moving, they don't gotta burn books they'll just remove them" Is one of their greatest quotes and, sadly, one of the most braindead and saddest realities about the US nowadays!

[@garryiglesias4074]

It's at least, as old as Roman Empire, which is still alive within "Western virtues". It's not surprising that it's still a reality "nowadays"... "They" own earth for thousands of years, the people movement is "new", and there's still a lot of work to do.

[@jaredmnichols1982]

Or just replace them. Louisiana forcing the 10 commandments in school now.

[@tnightwolf]

@@garryiglesias4074 Nah man! The sad reality is that the Roman Empire and the Greek Empire and the Muslim Empire despite all of their faults actually valued knowledge! Nowadays more and more the average folk seems to just get dumber and dumber for no reason at all. It has become so dumb that regular people are actually demanding the equivalent to "Middle-Ages book-burnings" hundreds of years after superstition and ignorance stopped to be a policy! It is just sad to witness because i do think many people do think History, Science and Philosophy are just filler classes and Humanity can't really move forward (in a sane way) because of it.

[@tnightwolf]

@@jaredmnichols1982 Dunno about that, but if that is really happening!... that is just fucked up beyond belief! As a Christian Catholic (despite being atheist) i gotta say that there is nothing wrong with the values expressed in those 10 commandments (specially when Jesus resumes them into 2), but to make any religion obligatory in school is just stupid and evil to begin with imo. In school, teach Humans how to treat other Humans with basic respect and then give them the choice to be religious or not and give religious freedom to those that choose to be religious (as long as they don't want to impose any beliefs on anyone else against their will)

[@tnightwolf]

@@jaredmnichols1982 Yeah... That's just really stupid.

[@GeraldH-ln4dv]

Fun fact: Tom Morello's great uncle was Jomo Kenyatta, the first president of Kenya. Morello's father was the first Kenyan ambassador to the U.N.

[@randomtruths3400]

Mau Mau Rebellion, baby!

[@samqualls1339]

I saw Tom Morello interviewed one time where he pointed out the crazy similarities between him and Barack Obama. Both are biracial with black Kenyan fathers and white American mothers, they are the same age, and they both graduated from Harvard.

[@GeraldH-ln4dv]

@@samqualls1339 And both were basically abandoned by their fathers, raised by boss-level single moms.

[@RustinChole]

“What we don’t know keeps the contracts alive and movin’, they don’t gotta burn the books they just remove em, while the arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells, rally round the family with a pocket full of shells.” His flow and lyrics to this day GO SO HARD.

[@richardlandrum1966]

Guerrilla Radio" was in Tony Hawk "Wake Up" is about MLK and X and was in the Matrix "Down Rodeo" references Fred Hampton "Freedom" came out in 1992 and is about the imprisonment of Leonard Peltier, who has been in since 1977 and is up for parole this year (2024)....again They were forced to make a song for the godzilla soundtrack by the label owner (sony) so they made "no shelter" a banger diss on media and hollywood In 1999 they filmed the video for "Sleep Now in the Fire" which shut down the NYSE mid trading day. Every song off their first 3 albums (Self-title, Evil Empire, and Battle of LA) is a history lesson and a call for action. Every song off the 4th and final album "Renegades" is a cover from one of their inspirations (Including Afrika Bambaataa, Cyprus Hill, EPMD) Its truly a deep rabbit hole in every sense. I HIGHLY recommend you following (and sharing), if not for your channel, for YOU. ALWAYS WITH LYRICS ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻❤️

[@BeeLZeeBub73]

this is the best comment here

[@MW-cx3sb]

I always thought it was funny how this rage with the machiners and so many other Americans hated Trumpy yet he was the only one who didn't start wars and even ended the middle eastern proxy wars that America fueled. Soon as the other side got back in, the war machine started back up once again much to you and your kinds support. No I am not a Trumpy either, I am not American and I am not caught up in left vs right divisionary crap.

[@kikivon3501]

It’s funny because the Chicago Bulls in the Jordan heyday would play this for some of their promo commercials. Yes, I’m old. I remember when Rage hit the scene.

[@SuperQueenmommy]

Brooo I was about 27 when rage came out🤘

[@revwolfie]

Most guitarists show off what they can do in a solo. Morello shows what a guitar can do.

[@isorozco511]

Great way to put it lol

[@sophomonicoatmeal5296]

You think you're tired of listening to Rage Against the Machine until you hear Rage Against the Machine again...so unique, incredible band

[@campbrice]

“They don’t gotta burn the books they just remove em” - if there is not a more prescient line from a 90s hard rock song tearing its head today……

[@ImaCatMaia]

"They don't have to burn the books, they just remove them"... still relevant today

[@lasagnasux4934]

Nazis burning bibles is not equivalent to schools removing books from their SCHOOL libraries they deem age inappropriate. What it is equivalent to is amazon refusing to sell certain well researched books that come to conclusions they don't like.

[@symptomoftheuniverse4149]

‘They’ rally around the family with a pocket full shells, meaning the ones who are ‘ in charge’

[@mommabird2813]

Tom Morello is the guitarist and he can bend strings better than anyone. RATM is a political band so, there is that. You should do Testify, Killing In The Name Of. They have many great hits.

[@mommabird2813]

My band! Can you tell I’m a product of the 90’s😂one of them GenX kids😂

[@thejohnson9204]

Great reaction video bud. Thanks.

[@tondahenry5293]

"Makes me want to run through a wall" more like burst through one like the Kool-Aid man. 😂

[@michellefair]

Kool aid man 😂

[@robertknapp7938]

The most important band in music history imo with System of a down sitting right next to them. Next time on a Rage video please use the lyrics because Zack be slamming haymakers.

[@garryiglesias4074]

I agree for Rage, but next is Pink Floyd (Waters era), Kraftwerk too, and The Who... "System of a down" is just a "spinoff" of a narrow musical niche... Don't talk about "Music History" when you are a "single style" narrow listener, please... (Not Saying SOAD is bad, I'm reacting to "important in music history"...)

[@JL-in3zo]

Always best to have lyrics on hand so you don't miss any bars The lead singer has verses on songs with Run the Jewels and KRS One Also check out other Rage songs Know Your Enemy Renegades of Funk Freedom

[@bponcho414]

He does guitar solos like guitar is a turntable

[@tnightwolf]

By luck i "discovered" Rage Against the Machine back in 95. Never regreated it and it is one of those few bands that despite how much more music i listen to, they're always in my top 10 all-time bands!... and honestly (for better or for worst) i don't see it changing anytime soon.

[@PriestessOfNothing]

They were so.damn.fierce back in the day...audiences were all in, mentally and physically. They stages would shake from the energy. Those were the days, man.

[@bassmanjohn7237]

The family is every day citizens. Police, government, establishments have under their boot!

[@23chdavis]

I highly recommend their video for "Freedom"...every thought-provoking

[@noisyfool5103]

Thats whas up. And rage against the "machine of govnt. " was and is the power of the people

[@rainerader1182]

Love your reactions

[@kevindohn6776]

That was my 1st time watching one of your reaction vids of a song I don't know. I've got to make an effort to check out more bands, instead of watching the same stuff all the time.

[@stephenryman4401]

We have never needed Rage more than we do right now. Where is all the protest music?

[@mssxwc]

You gotta watch the live versions man.

[@tnightwolf]

"Rally around your family with a pocket full of sheels" is like trying to act flashy with only empty promisses. Perception is the bait but when it comes down to real-life everyday practical issues, barely anything has been actually improved for more than 3 decades (all around the world and not only in the US)

[@mips19]

“THEY rally around the family with a pocket full of shells” It means neoliberal and conservative politicians tout their concern for family values on one hand and promote the murderous war machine of the US military-industrial complex on the other. They claim to be pro-life while profiting off of death.

[@davpamx3729]

They rally

[@Nurseferatuu]

They did a remake of NWA F tha Police. Sometimes hard to find but sooooo good!

[@morrydodd6211]

What's for dinner?..... oh yeah, no one's home 😂(7-8 in the 70 n 80s).

[@G-Man01]

Listen to Killing in the Name, People of the Sun, Vietnow, Wake Up, No Shelter, Bullet in the Head.... Etc etc...

[@desireezachry8086]

It’s relevant today!

[@Pcytripper]

Definitely a good one to put on the workout mix.

[@user-iq42]

Yup

[@747Cone]

"They" rally round the family. Not "we"

[@mips19]

Very important distinction on this song.

[@ninaelisaduvi]

They don’t talk lightly lmao 🤪🎶

[@d3adtwist]

we need 90's rage, now they're bought and paid for by the machine

[@amuffy329]

Bulls on parade is a reference to police brutality

[@ExclusiveLM]

Bruh, turn off that little button under your video when you do reactions so that the next video does not start right away after your reaction video finishes. I saw you had not turned it off on this video. Its the button to the left of where it says CC.

[@nadograymountain]

✊🏾

[@thedominator87]

now check out the denzel curry cover. he even added a verse right where the guitar scatch is

[@joeb2487]

Mistaking "they" for "we" completely changes the songs intent

[@bulkpumpkincheeky8548]

yes....they are the bulls rallying around the family of protesters with pockets full of shells is how i hear it.

[@SuperQueenmommy]

Man it's been awhile since you've done rage.. "How's he playing the guitar like that?" Lmaoooo Hello, I'm a guitar. I can make sounds Hi, I'm Tom Morello. Let's see what you can do

[@krashd]

Lost Angeles

[@MatthewBousumonline]

All RATM videos should be lyric videos

[@toddxl1024]

They rally, bro. Not we rally.

[@mips19]

Very important difference with this song

[@Cranden]

Tom is the goat.

[@flightlessbird1892]

Pls do more RATM!!

[@Mssteph239]

Rage 4lyfer 🤘

[@symptomoftheuniverse4149]

Not much of a reaction

[@jonathanbradshaw2665]

Socially concious T-Shirt but no knowledge of history. SmH

[@Ha...WaitWut]
