I was there in 1994. The crowd was jumping so hard that Seismologist literally measured 1.5 on the Richter scale in Landgraaf.

[@seelenwinter6662]

these pinkpop festivals were legendary... 92-96 rage, pearl jam, soundgarden, smashing pumpkin, type o, faith no more, danzig, new model army, bad religion, therapy, skunk anansie, sepultura, etc pp... best festivals of all time for me...

[@leann1715]

God I miss the nineties. No cell phones ruining concerts, mosh pits, consciousness, lyrics, godly music... the best.

[@weylinmitchell2015]

So glad I grew up gen x. We had the best music hands down. We brought hip hop and metal together and it was GREAT!

Brad Wilk is the drummer and Tim Commeford is the bass player, Amazing rhythm section that doesnt get enough love. The second best live performance in my opinion after Pink Pop is Rage doing Testify live at Finsbury Park. That crowd size alone is insane. I got my tickets for Detroit when this pandemic is over!!

[@Malkil75]

Outstanding rhythm section; man people don’t even know how difficult it is to sound so good live and with such energy.

[@MichelleShow]

Will react to that one

[@Az_meg]

I attended a Rage show in the 90’s. I was trampled and almost died 😂 One of the best memories of my life. Turned me into an activist all these years. Sad that my generation was screaming this and nothing has changed.

[@MichelleShow]

Dam they shows be lit!

[@Giganfan2k1]

Yes, and no. The overton window has changed in a lot of ways. Cameras are not watching cops all the time. Even if the cop gets off we all see what happened. I believe gen Z though probably sleeping on Rage; they have Rage's Spirit.

[@jacksmith4460]

Loved this reaction, something great about seeing someone find gems like these

[@hearnja]

Even though this is 2 years ago, I appreciate your analysis of this show. 1993 was my prime. Saw Rage quite a bit in LA. Glad to see the message is still appreciated today. Thank you!

The video is a must.

[@LoudQuietLoudQuiet]

See also their gig at the 2000 democratic convention (protesting the 2 party system in the US). So much music is about escaping the horrors of the world around us, Ratm don't want us to escape the world, they want us to change it!

Tim Commerford was the other 'Guitarist' he's the bass player. also, he played this gig with a broken foot. he's usually even more animated.

Zach de la Rocha trained 3 yrs with a personal trainer so he could perform in shape and bring it not to let nobody down. Was supposed to tour 2020. Sure they'll resume it when possible. Go to that show my man if tou get the chance. The energy you feel at their shows live is infectious. It's a must have experience...

[@fiverx2159]

I've seen rage live 5 times since 93. Best live band ever

[@stevenstrio5431]

One of the best shows I’ve ever been to (and I have been to a whole lot of them) was 1994 Beastie Boys, Rage, and Cypress Hill when they did a leonard peltier benefit 2 nights in a row… both nights were off the hook!! But I’ve seen rage probably a dozen times and they are always lit.

[@Usernamenottaken2k]

I think I've got about 30 subs of peepz reacting to RATM now. It's just so wholesome to watch people engage with their message and their sound. Gives me hope for the future.

[@MyRestlessLegs]

This festival is held in the Netherlands. Explains the crowd looking like a hellmans commercial.

[@sunset8480]

Bro, you have me in tears. Did you see how amped that crowd was? That was insane. Peeps getting tossed like trash ... And Zack so crazed, he busted his ass. Priceless.....

That exact video is of my very first concert and i'm somewhere at the front of that 60.000 crowd, it was recorded in the Netherlands in 1993. Nevert stopped loving Rage against the machine after that experience. Fun fact: the crowd caused seismic earthquake alarms in all nearby cities during this track, i believe it reached 5.3 on the Richter scale. ALL lyrics on that first album are still valid, now more then ever, to the current state of our societies and governments.

[@anuncolonizedmind6296]

The nostalgia!!!! This is the sound of my teen years.. I'm 42 now & RATM is still one of my favorite bands. Killing in the name of.. is my fav song of RATM. Tom is a beast on guitar ❤️

Kinda a racist mindset to think like that, especially if you don't jump to that thought with other groups like those groups can't be racist.

[@Enrique.510]

Welcome to the army my man. Of course we’ll take Zach’s stepson into our ranks 😂😂😂. Alright so first things first, guy on the drums? That’s Brad Wilk. Guy on the Bass guitar(a different kind of guitar, you’ll hear this sound usually in the background setting the rhythm of the song) is Tim Commerford. Please, please, do us a double reaction(lyrics first so you know what the song is about, followed by their official music video) of their song “Sleep now in the fire”. I promise you, you will have an even bigger appreciation for them once you see the video. And I’ll also tell you a awesome story about Tim Commerford in relation to that video. And yes you’re absolutely right about that crowd. That’s the beautifully amazing thing about Rage Against The Machine. Because of the genres they cover, they were able to spread their message and raise awareness to a part of our society(white Americans that listen to rock) that wouldn’t have heard it if Zack decided to be a hip hop rapper and Tom Morello decided to continue on his career in politics(he had interned for a US Senator before quitting to pursue music). But there is actually a lot of people that are/were fans of Rage Against The Machine and had no idea what the message was and have beliefs and views completely contradicting what Rage is saying. Tom Morello is on Twitter and has absolutely owned a lot of these people who have tried to tell him to stick to music instead of politics(his response? “Dude have you actually heard any of our music?” 😂😂). Now I got some good news for you. They were about to start touring agains before Covid cancelled everything, once everything is back to normal they will be touring again. You can be in that mosh pit in person! So thank you for these Rage Against The Machine reactions. I think all of us would love to be able to discover this band again for the first time. Since that’s impossible, watching you do it and FULLY UNDERSTANDING what they’re about might be even better. Keep the Rage reactions coming!!

Check out a live performance of "Burning Fight" by Inside Out. That was Zach's hardcore band he fronted before Rage Against the Machine.

Love your reactions and I really hope you get to see them live with Run the Jewels when they hit the road next year!

[@rubberduckyurda174]

You got my sub on this one. I've watched all your RATM reactions and I love how happy you are at the end of every single one. It makes me happy! Other live videos I like (all of them), ~Know Your Enemy~ 1999 with Maynard hanging out in the back looking like a dad supervising his kids at the playground. There's an earlier live version of this song where he hangs in back looking like a weird stalker, so if you're feeling more in the weird stalker mood go with that one. I also recommend ~Testify~ or ~Killing in the Name~ Live at Finsbury (London).

[@MichelleShow]

Will do all those! I’m loving everything rage so far!

Brings me back💚 this is Pinkpop, one of the biggest festivals in the Netherlands (my home country). Fun fact, this concert produced a measurable earthquake, that’s how loud it was! The other guy is the bass player😂 and unfortunately the Netherlands also still has racist people, though people at rock rockconcerts are generally fairy open minded. Rage was woke before woke was a thing, heroes🙏🏽

[@dazed1nyc]

I started playing guitar when I was 10 because of Tom Morello, switched to bass 10 yrs later partly because of Tim Commerford. I spent sooo much time trying to turn my black friends on to Rage growing up because I always felt like if Zacks lyrics had the effect that they did on me, I can't even imagine the next level that African Americans or any minorities for that matter must feel when they hear mainstream music talking about these issues. I'd love to hear what a 2021 Rage album would sound like \m/ \m/

Enjoy your RATM videos. Subscribed. Great thing about music, doesn’t care if you find it early or late, just as long as you find it. Many songs grabbed me that I had no idea what the message was, usually can be credited to great instrumentation or a sick beat, but when/if you do get it later makes those songs more special IMO. Hope you find more music that grabs you.

This is The Netherlands. Of course it's mostly white people lol but yeah. They were loved in Rock and even Metal even if they weren't. I feel they get respect. Wish Hip-Hop would've embraced them more back then. Let's hope they make new music finally.

[@garryiglesias4074]

About the crowd... It's not the US... It's in Netherland... Europe, of course there are black people too... But here you are in Northern Europe, we never had "black slave" on the ground, etc... Plus at that time, music was strangely and sadly, starting a trend of "segregation" ironically started by "hip hop heads" who didn't want to listen to "white music"... The Beastie Boys, and Rage, prove them wrong, as much as they should have know it before, because "rock" is based on black music, Little RIchards, Jimi Hendrix, and many other "Rock gods" are black people. BTW: this is my favorite "live" video, Zack impress me on this one EACH time I see it, and I've seen it like thousands of time... I listen to this first album regularly for now almost 30 years...

[@alveraan1]

This was at the Pink Pop festival in my home country of Belgium. This was when I was 13 in 1993. I grew up with their music. It's only years later that I really got their message. Reason you see few people with darker skin in the crowd is because frankly there aren't that many in my country. Love seeing younger people rediscover this band.

You are the first to bring up the rhythm section in all the reactions I've ever seen. Tim Commerford is slappin the bass. It is not a guitar, it is not a bass guitar. It's a bass. Look up the stunt he pulled at the MTV music awards. And Brad Wilk is among my list of the most unsung drummers. Yeah, he's not Neil Peart, but he's perfect for Rage. He keeps Zach and Tom in the pocket. Anyway, I'll be watching more of you. And yes, I was listening to the guys in 1993 when I was in Junior High and am White as f----. There's another from pink pop that's great too. Like the the whole crowd jumping up and down. Know your enemy live my man. Peace,

Since the Jazz era, the bass has been known as the *pulse*... the heartbeat of the band. The fella playing the other guitar is the bass player. That fat bass riff... so glad you got to see this live! As a white bass player... who’s been rocking Rage in cover bands since I was a kid... it’s an honor that a white guy was so fortunate to be the heartbeat of such an amazing band. You nailed it; all the white folk in the crowd who AGREE and hang on every word... the same that are marching, fist in the air shouting “we can’t breathe” and “say her name” with you in the streets.... the only white guy in the band holding it DOWN!! What an existential honor....
