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

[@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

[@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.

[@Rumpaldstiltskin]

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

[@johnbenton3663]

We need Rage Against the Machine more than ever now!

[@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. 👍🏼

[@soniap1217]

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

[@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

[@aixmhros]

welcome to the RATM movement RATM - Down Rodeo

[@MetalDollFace]

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

[@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

[@OldSkoolDad23]

Zack drops real knowledge!✊🏼

[@desparzaification]

My bad, watch the official video for track Testify. You will see why it had Goerge Busch wanting to send them to federal prison.

[@The_FactoidVoid]

Fuck this song is still SO HARD.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@crucialfyah]

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

[@SCUZZI87]

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

[@maurogingado5617]

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

[@g-my-t2199]

Oh shit. You about to be awoken.

[@Warchild0311]

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

[@James-k8l8d]

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

[@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

[@richardchacon1330]

Please go down that rabbit hole. Lyrics mandatory.

[@SCUZZI87]

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

[@meeshmccoy]

😂 I love your reactions! ❤

[@Alonso-x5o]

Welcome

[@g-my-t2199]

Down Rodeo. Calm Like a Bomb.

[@jernejulcar8325]

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

[@soulpower6317]

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

[@nadograymountain]

✊🏾

[@shelleynull6532]

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

[@HXERkYJclMcKLAWwQW]

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

[@echopryme]

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

[@maurogingado5617]

VIETNOW AND TIRE ME 🔥Big up from Portugal

[@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 🤘

[@WakeMeSoon]

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

[@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!

[@anthonyvalenzuela3905]

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

[@Sparkyhobbies]

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

[@richardlandrum1966]

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

[@jonthomas3065]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@gonzo1863]

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

[@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

[@meeshmccoy]

1996

[@keymaker-k7h]

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

[@JL-in3zo]

Public Enemy put them on letting RATM open for them

[@symptomoftheuniverse4149]

This is NOT subliminal at all!

[@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.

[@MontroseChloe]

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

[@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.

[@gavinsheridan4680]

Did that hat come with a free trash can?

[@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
