He’s been a bouncer for concerts across NY for well over 30 years and still going, he’s seen some wild wild pits. He told me the energy from them and the crowd was POWERFUL! He said it was one of the wildest pits he’s ever seen (in a good way) Ratm were apparently really nice down to earth guys too. Man I wish I was born earlier! I just missed that week of Rage! My sister and I basically grew up at Roseland seeing all the shows… it’s a DAMN SHAME they demolished Roseland, a truly historic piece of music and NYC history, to build some Bullshit in its place… that place was my childhood home away from home!

Get a copy of the movie, Grapes of Wrath and when they are old enough let them watch Jimmy Stewart portray Tom Joad a poor and displaced young man from Oklahoma who had lost almost everything he knew in life except his family. The book by John Steinbeck is a very intense read that leaves you wondering just how many families were cast to the winds during the dust bowl times. Rage does it much better than springsteins version. He might have wrote the song, but Zack owned that song and made it his.

In case anyone is wondering Tom Joad is the main protagonist in John Steinbeck's "Grapes of Wrath.". It's a story about the Joads and the hardships they face following the dust bowl which destroyed their ability to maintain their farm and force them west to California for better prospects. Tom, just out of prison for murder, comes home to learn of his family's plan to leave town and decides to join them even though it's a violation of terms of his parole. It's one of the original "working class hero" books and it won a Pulitzer and later the Nobel for writing. I won't tell you anymore. Read it if you're interested 🙂

Best reality of when things go subpar, and truly painfully without much choice. I hope for greater to each and everyone struggling to be free.

This song gave Tom a reason to buy a Gibson double neck so he can be like Jimmy Page.

A woman was caught in our crappy city washing her kids hair in the fountains early a.m so they could go to school. The city took out the fountains. Nobody even lived around there to see them.

[@darredenko]

What the hell, this sounded different last week, did they change the audio on the video to be the same as the album? Cause IMO this version was better than the album one, tad bit faster tempo and more funky.

[@Jakos-33]

Yeah you right

[@Zane_Doe]

Shit still hits so hard all these years later.

[@slayer51811]

Yes, it does, harder than ever now, sir.

I worked at the Big Day Out I think it was, in Perth, us stage crew met Zack - what an awesome guy~

I'd like Trump to be elected only so Zach gets the fire to come back with RATM ahah

[@xillzyazxelijah70]

Yeah, when "capitalist society" chose to be in politic scene as POTUS. What wrong with USA???

[@KasCalwein]

Now Trump's elected and what do we have? Prophets of Rage which is a shitty RATM cover band fronted by two even shittier rappers. And Zack De La Rocha who will finally release his solo album. Like for real. Like we've only waited for that for 17 years. But this year. Really. For sure.

[@cristalido3640]

Chuck D from Public Enemy and B Real from Cypress Hill are shitty rappers? Whatever dude.....

[@ЧёрныйСнег-х3ш]

I don't think anyone could replace RATM. This is one of those, like it or hate it, the one & only - an original. I also find sadly even the very best bands aren't as good when they do a comeback. Wish someone would catch the bug & be the same kind of entity though. Now is exactly the age to talk about it all. And music is something that gets into your blood. These days it's all electronic crap mostly though.

[@Alex-ms1tt]

@@KasCalwein you may think they're shitty rappers but they're a big reason why Zack got into rapping, and all the band members say that public enemy and C.H were a huge inspiration behind ratm

[@HIPPIETHUG92109]

RATM lyrically is more needed and relevant today than ever before! Strength in numbers !!!!

[@jameslanglois2264]

I remember seeing them in the late 90’s one of the most memorable show I’ve been to. Tom is such a insanely good guitarist. His wheel house is so full of sounds. I hope they decide to go on tour again I’d love to see them again.

[@munnarana]

RAW EMOTION !! Love this!!

[@andrejnovak001]

I'll just say uuuuwwhhhaaa. I had to comment, ...When I first heard this song I had goosebumps for a month.

[@romuluscreative]

Dude he could sing this solo no band with that intense directness.. its bigger bolder and louder than zepplin

[@ryanlogan2911]

Used to listen to this with my buddy who got killed in Iraq during Bush’s endless wars. Now the lyrics makes sense with a lil Alex Jones. I’m pulling the pin and voting Trump this fall.

[@xxr3drumxx354]

Who remembers the 1st video for this song?

[@adenasmith903]

2022... Rage for the Machine. Sell Outs.

[@Degiac22]

I bought the RATM home video in the 5th grade on vhs. It had bunch of SITE shows from all over the world and it showed a couple performances from each venue. The video opened up with this performance and I was blown away! This band performed with so much passion. I must’ve watched that hour long video 15x a week. Till this day I still get goosebumps when I hear/watch this performance. These guys were ahead of their time. THE BEST!

[@babyenzo.]

I remember my dad playing that DVD for me when I was a kid and sitting on the couch and just being blown away by how explosive their live music sounded and how much energy they carried within the stage. Always blew my mind how passionate they were about getting their voices heard and the emotion put into their performances.

[@robcas456]

I had this VHS as well and just told this story almost exactly the way you just did.
