I remember watching this live on TV. It was the pinnacle of my existence at that point. The Battle of Los Angeles was brand new and Rage were cultural juggernauts.

wow. How freakin sick. What a time to be alive man

[@JoeFerber]

AWESOME!!!!

[@deathbyslipknot]

Why is Zack being interviewed separately from everyone else?

[@GodWeenSatan]

Why did he leave the band later on? Did they just never really like each other? Makes you wonder

[@Zer0Riverr]

Since Zack was the one who first left.. could be possible

17:58 I hate it when my sticks do that to my poor cymbals.

[@vladimirolujic6637]

Isn't there an uncensored version?

[@RustinChole]

Wow. I mean. The music is 👌 as usual. But the ideas expressed in the interviews. That shit would never go down today. Gotta give it to MTV for actually broadcasting those ideas. SNL pissed their pant suits when Rage graced them with a performance. Also. Showcasing Morello’s guitar work. Ugh. I miss the late 90’s/early 00’s.

[@charleschi843]

Zach is better with two working legs.

"We're against major corporations....but sure, we'll sign to Epic Records and play on MTV.."

[@Nirvanablue89]

In the end, though, they are a great and arguably classic band with a real and potent message. So, having them play on MTV and reaching a larger audience, namely youth, and still getting their uncensored message across, one could argue that they are getting the better end of the stick, and still sticking it to the corporation.

[@nigward3966]

If it wasn’t for epic and mtv there message would not have reached you or anyone else. You have to use the help of corporations to do anything like this. This is similar to what the song “no shelter” talks about. Also cool that they are self aware as well.

[@psychicramps]

Yeah they definitely should have denied the success of their music, played in alley ways to rats and not utilized big platforms because Jameson Craighead might call them a hypocrite on a KZbin comment section 20 years later from his basement.

[@RustinChole]

Honestly…. They probably could have done it without EPIC. If they had started a LITTLE later. There were indie labels by the end of the 90’s that they could have been very successful with, but there wasn’t really a blueprint for that yet like there is today. And seriously, I doubt even the biggest indie label would have been able to keep up with the sheer production of LP’s and CD’s to keep up with demand. In that era, even At The Drive In and Elliott Smith ended up on major labels. They did it with intention… a tug of war of exploitation. Rage exploited corporations and media exposure the same as Epic and the media exploited them. The battle is about who benefits the most. Epic and MTV are nothing now. Their reputation is trash. Rage is forever music. It’s not their fault people were too busy dancing to REALLY understand what was being said. The “people” lost in the end. No doubt. We’ve never been more placated with consumerism than we are now. But in the death throes of free speech, we got Rage. All the shit they wrote about is still happening, just exponentially worse. Show me any other major label act who were or are willing to just show up on Wall Street despite the mayor explicitly saying they couldn’t, and clash with the NYPD. RATM were just different.

horrible recording

This shit used to be on tv. 🫶🏻
