Rage Against The Machine - "Bulls On Parade" | (THE MESSAGE IS STILL RELEVANT?)

[@jip5889]

Watching people with rap backgrounds discover Rage never gets old.

[@robfern66]

Rage are the perfect blend of Rap, Rock and Metal. Zac dropping truth bombs that are more relevant than ever.

[@Osiris363]

Down Rodeo is a must by these guys. The 1st verse will have you doubling back on yourself to make sure you heard right.

[@747Cone]

Agree and I'd add that lyrics are a must with RATM

[@paulricketts5537]

Evil empire is a fuckin amazing album from start to finish

[@lesliehamm6703]

This is it

[@Sonny-r1y]

This song was inspired by an event that happened on a native reservation between a few natives had a stand off with the feds. It didn’t end well. This happened in 1973 the feds reacted to the Red power movement

[@thumpyloudfoot864]

Wait.... What do you mean "these guys"? LMAOOOO

[@Rumpaldstiltskin]

Glad someone has turned you towards Rage. They only drop 2 things. Knowledge and hard music.

[@stuartpenzer773]

"They dont gotta burn the books they just remove em" honestly my favorite lyric ever

[@johnbenton3663]

We need Rage Against the Machine more than ever now!

[@EmmaBadOne]

Rage was/is a valuable asset and promoter but we NOW need martyrs. The time for talk is over.

[@kyleblankenship6183]

Like... we need Communism? That's what we need? RATM are always preaching anti-capitalism while ironically charging $100's of dollars for tickets with music they made 2 decades ago. They were heavily against th3 Bush era due to war, th3n Obama came around and war continued and they just went silent. Then Trump and then Biden... silent.

[@richardchacon1330]

Please go down that rabbit hole. Lyrics mandatory.

[@squidcalamari2051]

I love it when someone discovers Rage. The music and message is timeless. I think you would LOVE their song Renegades of Funk.

[@richardlandrum1966]

But know it's not their song. It's a cover of Afrika bambaataa. 👍🏼

[@MetalDollFace]

this is more relevant today than ever! We need more music like this coming out ✌🏻

[@soniap1217]

"killing in the name of" is my all time favourite song🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@aixmhros]

welcome to the RATM movement RATM - Down Rodeo

[@tondahenry5293]

Yes sir, this is rap set to a hard rock soundtrack. Zach de la Rocha is a rapper and has done some work with Run the Jewels you may be interested in. Rage Against the Machine was the first rap-rock band and they came out of the L.A. punk scene in the early 90s. This song was on the album Evil Empire, released ’96. The red and black imagery represents the Zapatista Army of National Liberation, which is a guerrilla army that supports indigenous communities in Mexico, of which the band are big supporters of. If you decide to do more Rage you’ll see a recurring theme of red and black with the star. Sleep Now in the Fire, Guerrilla Radio, or Testify all great choices for a next listen and they all have music videos for visuals.

[@s3lfFish]

black and red flag is also the anarchist flag, which the zapatista are influenced by ;)

[@ripbrutus]

They weren't first go back and listen to Faith No More song Epic from 1989

[@OldSkoolDad23]

Zack drops real knowledge!✊🏼

[@The_FactoidVoid]

Fuck this song is still SO HARD.

[@dantoth3199]

Zack is 1 of the most slept on MC's IMHO!!

[@sunshynff]

FACTS!!!

[@canadianbakin1304]

paired with one of the best guitarist on the planet its just so sweet

[@RickMaciel-y3t]

Please react to their song, "WAKE UP" lyrics video is a must.

[@richardlandrum1966]

I second this.

[@richardlandrum1966]

@leeleethebumblebee-d3z my favorite part is that the line about king and Nam is left in the movie cut (plays just as credits start rolling and then the song is edited), makes me think it's a blatant clue to what the movie is really about.

[@symptomoftheuniverse4149]

In the 90s we were wide awake, now we are fast asleep.

[@TheRedStateBlue]

the right has managed to convince themselves that they're not the machine being raged against. i blame their assault on education. the lack of self-awareness exhibited by genX and later generations is astounding. the truth averse millennials and genYers is confounding, being that they were raised digitally.

[@canadianbakin1304]

i dont know how some people that grew up to this era of hip hop like public enemy or the rock of the time could go completely in the other direction. how do you forget

[@symptomoftheuniverse4149]

@ Hate, like Mustaine sings “Peace sells but whose buying” I think GenX are still woke, it is ones who bullied us who chose hate, racism, and bigotry.

[@cm9241]

woke has literally become an insult in the last 5 years.

[@Aaron-ui9tj]

@@canadianbakin1304 Mortgages.

[@thejohnson9204]

You nailed it Sir. It's "against the machine".

[@sunshynff]

Zack is good friends with Killer Mike, and has been featured on a couple RTJ tracks, Zack also did a feature on KRS-One track. When Zack and the band parted ways for a while in the early 2000s, the band.. Tom, Brad and Tim, hooked up with Chris Cornell to form the super group Audioslave, a little bit less known is that after Audioslave the band hooked up with none other than B. Real from Cypress Hill and Chuck D. of Public Enemy to form another super group called Prophets of Rage, and did an album together, maybe two, can't remember. You should definitely check out more Rage, Wake Up and/or Take The Power Back would be my suggestions, and lyric videos on either of those, Zack drops a lot of knowledge, but it takes some getting used to, hearing specific lyrics rapping over a rock beat. Great reaction BTW ✌️💚

[@colinmartel8899]

It's already been said but "Wake Up" & "Down Rodeo" are must listens. Trust me.

[@GB_slacker]

Check out Killing In The Name, Bombtrack and Bullet in the Head.

[@peanut2112]

Down Rodeo Killing in the Name Of Wake Up Take the Power Back Always choose videos with lyrics. You don't want to sleep on the lyrics. They were straight up spittin facts in the early 90s. They were tuned in before most knew what was going on. Subscribed. Looking forward to watching your journey with RATM

[@Russelshackleford]

“What we don’t know keeps the contracts alive and moving, they don’t got to burn the books, they just remove them, while arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells.”

[@marthafokker2071]

Took me a bit but i caught your hat. Love it! Go 'Stros!.

[@HXERkYJclMcKLAWwQW]

Bulls on parade - when the squad cars roll into your hood . Everyone know the “ bulls are on parade”.

[@johnwelch6830]

96, I was 17, that’s how I remember it

[@zackkullis5555]

This song is a BANGER. I’m excited to watch you experience this. I also remember when this came out, remember my very white and conservative upbringing that kept me blind to racial disparities and issues (only white people where I lived). This song helped me look at the LA Riots through different eyes, not the narrow viewpoint that conservative news fed me, and I immediately began questioning everything. I started listening to 2Pac and NWA. The rock side of this pulled me in, the lyrics stuck in my head, and I opened my mind to things I never would have been exposed to otherwise.

[@zackkullis5555]

Bars upon bars

[@SCUZZI87]

Def gotta do “down rodeo” and “renegades of funk”

[@richardlandrum1966]

Down rodeo Know your enemy Take the power back Wake up Vietnow Guerrilla radio Freedom

[@kikivon3501]

The music is rock, but Zack is spittin’ barz. He is so slept on as an MC. This song is about the military industrial complex. Politicians touting “ family values” while building war machines, and waging wars. Political ALL their songs are political. Police brutality, mass incarceration, government corruption, racism, capitalism, etc etc etc

[@robertdaone]

Rock with rap have been going on since the 80s starting with Run DMC. Rage Against The Machine hits hard as hell!

[@HXERkYJclMcKLAWwQW]

The lyrics are revolutionary

[@crucialfyah]

This is a hole you want to keep digging into. Wake Up. Know Your Enemy. Down Rodeo. Guerrilla Radio…

[@stufraser8616]

You get it bro subbed- more Rage

[@Vaping-AnxietyPT]

That dude is Zach, he's rocking!

[@WakeMeSoon]

you need to check out band named Prophets of Rage, it has members of Rage Against The Machine, Public Enemy, and Cypress Hill.

[@ianh6845]

The album this song is on 'Evil Empire' came out in 1996.

[@JL-in3zo]

When reacting to Rage it's best to have lyrics on hand so you don't miss any bars Know Your Enemy Renegades of Funk Freedom Also the lead singer has verses on Run the Jewels songs and a song with KRS One Check out JU$T C.I.A.

[@SCUZZI87]

He has some songs with run the jewels (killer Mike & El-P) he spits….def can rap good

[@nerigarcia7116]

You need to take a deep dive into Rage. Zach speaks truth while spittin' bars and the music rocks. They won't disappoint.

[@pelijer]

Dude, coming across this band as a 13 year old kid was a big deal for me. I love watching new listeners break it down

[@James-k8l8d]

Or that he's 'scratching' on a guitar!😂🤘🔥😎

[@horrorbizness2043]

Tom scratching on the guitar like a turn table always kills me.

[@maurogingado5617]

Im from Portugal and i love RATM. Happy for you -

[@jernejulcar8325]

"Guerilla radio" and "Down rodeo" their best two songs in my opinion.

[@bcdt1947]

This is true hip hop. One of the best songs ever recorded in the history of music.

[@g-my-t2199]

Oh shit. You about to be awoken.

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

Reminds me of when I first heard this in the 90s and I got hooked on the hook. Try RATM Killin in the Name of......try it live - blow your socks off!

[@g-my-t2199]

Down Rodeo. Calm Like a Bomb.

[@swan_dive_on_concrete]

😂 I love your reactions! ❤

[@echopryme]

We need this band more than ever now... But even THEY can't get over their own bullshit for the greater good. 💯

[@aaronwolf3587]

Just start from the beginning. Their first self titled album is so good.

[@Warchild0311]

John Connor, if you’re hearing this message, you are part of the resistance

[@maurogingado5617]

VIETNOW AND TIRE ME 🔥Big up from Portugal

[@chancewallace47]

GOTTA DO: Killing in the name, Down Rodeo, Township Rebellion, Freedom, Know Your Enemy.

[@soulpower6317]

This track is lit af. You should listen to, "Mic Check" by these guys.

[@darkhumor8125]

Yeah dude! Bean rocking this since I was 11, I’m in my 40’s now if that gives you how relevant they still are 🤘

[@Sparkyhobbies]

If you like Public Enemy, your chances of enjoying RATM are high.

[@nadograymountain]

✊🏾

[@shelleynull6532]

I never get how someone doesn't know rage. My guy surely you have heard "killing in the name"

[@timafterhours7062]

I find it funny when Rap/hip-hop fans hear "Rhyming bars" in rock songs! Lol Fun fact rock/metal has been rhyming bars longer then either Rap OR Hip-hop ever existed!!!! That an RatM is an Alternative Rock band with Rap/metal elements to it... Good content!

[@dannyhayworth8833]

I don’t disagree that rock/metal has been rhyming longer than rap has existed, but I think what makes this more rapping than just rhyme schemes is the delivery, all love tho

[@petersanders3812]

Deep rabbit hole here lol

[@Alonso-x5o]

Welcome

[@TheOtherBrotherAli76]

Tom Morrelo is top 5 greatest guitarists ever. Change my mind.

[@PeskyPudgyPanda]

You should check Just Another Victim by Helmet featuring House of Pain (Everlast). That Judgement Night soundtrack is dope, bro

[@ACPhila]

First reaction to RATM where the person figured out what Bulls on Parade was about correctly on the first try. It's about how politicians particularly conservative politicians use "family values" to justify war.

[@MrNerdyBrit]

As long as there is a class struggle this music will be relevant. "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles" - Vladimir Lenin.

[@gonzo1863]

Wait till he listens to the rest!! There’s SEVERAL songs with RATM that are gonna blow his mind!!

[@coven1828]

“Bulls on Parade” is a slang term that means there are anti-protesting cops roaming the streets. It’s a beautifully radical term that Zack loved using just because of how oppressive those bulls were.

[@anthonyvalenzuela3905]

Check out a song he recorded with KRS One called CIA (criminals in action)

[@trogdortheburninator3621]

Bulls on parade refer to police in full riot gear

[@CyberChunk77]

always stunned when people are like RATM raps! Uh, yeah their first record (the thing you are listening to) came out in 1991. Before so many seminal hip hop records. Yeah, Zach fucking raps bro! The fuck?~ Although this is the second record... so he'd been rapping.

[@justinbird7455]

Listen to freedom

[@truther4life]

The Ghost Of Tom Joad

[@jonthomas3065]

Sounds like somebody is about to listen to a whole lot more RATM

[@wcrittenden2168]

Yes you can and should combine rap vocals with a rock band.

[@mahatmasloth6543]

only gets more relevant every passing year

[@swan_dive_on_concrete]

1996

[@symptomoftheuniverse4149]

This is NOT subliminal at all!

[@grantmoukarzel7462]

Watch ALL Rage against the machine. It's serious stuff if you believe in freedom

[@keymaker-k7h]

👌lyric videos are good with rage...🎤⬇️✌️

[@sweetelisum]

It's more relevant "they dont gotta burn the books they just remove em"... what has been going on in congress and local jurisdictions recently? Its more powerfil now than ever

[@JL-in3zo]

Public Enemy put them on letting RATM open for them

[@saracee313]

Have you ever checked out Tool? If not, try The Pot or 46 and 2 and see what you think. They're very musically satisfying.

[@MontroseChloe]

You should do more RATM. they have a LOT of hits.

[@ToommyLoy]

Not bad for almost 30 years old

[@lisajohnson521]

Zach is an MC for real LOLOL Just over rock bets instead of tracks.

[@michaeltaylor8835]

Families of the elite not us

[@cmzeman]

You know that "scratching" was done with a guitar, right?

[@gavinsheridan4680]

Did that hat come with a free trash can?

[@bradhall2199]

92

[@SpunkyJ77]

Down Rodeo please

[@mezmerizer9422]

Too bad they've turned into Rage With The Machine

[@kristopherryanwatson]

damn your logo watermark is obnoxious. its too big.

[@storyvilledistrict]

Only successful rap metal band imo
