Bullet In The Head is the crown jewel of this whole set!! It has 10x the energy of this song!!

[@PML78]

🔥🤘🏽🔥

[@LimeGuy101]

Quite possibly the punchiest beat of all time, this entire album was fire

[@admanistansheridan1826]

That's one song off a full fkn set. Imagine that energy, depending on gig for 30-60mins. It was fkn insane

[@zackzaharko89]

Eminem said it best on the Slim Shady LP. “I’m a caged demon. on stage screaming like Rage Against the Machine!”

[@cjonesufc]

Zach was mostly overlooked by rap fans in general, but he’s one of the all time greats as far as I’m concerned. People are learning, though.

[@Pcytripper]

Between the rock beats and heavy lyrics, he's easy to overlook in the rap world. Not doing pop-rap, easy sell, chicks and dope type songs means less airplay, but purists will find him. If you like KRS-1, Immortal Technique and Chuck D, you'll find Zach eventually.

[@cjonesufc]

@@PcytripperYup. Funny thing. I remember when Sugar Hill Gang was new. And “Cookiepuss”. And Public Enemy, to name a few. I was pretty young, maybe 10or 11, but I always loved music and while I leaned more towards Rock and Metal I listened to everything. When Rage dropped that first album they started getting tons of airplay on WAAF Worcester/Boston while grunge/alternative was pushing past rap and hip hop. And it never slowed until well after most people switched to streaming services. Now it’s cool to see so many people realizing they missed out and embracing the music. The fact that his messages are still relevant is disconcerting, though.

Regarding other rappers of the era and their links to RATM and Zach. The Wu Tang Clan toured with RATM. RATM opened for Public Enemy. Lauryn Hill was tight with Zach. KRS-One had a song with Zach. B-Real of Cypress Hill was tight with them as evidenced by him joining a supergroup with 3 of the members RATM along with Chuck D of Public Enemy. In the last couple years, Zach rapped with EL-P and well known Atlanta rapper Killer Mike on songs like "Close your eyes (and count to)" and "JU$T" (feat. Pharrell Williams) and can be seen in the video of RTJ hit "Ooh La la" (featuring DJ Premier) with Greg Nice of rap group "Nice and Smooth". That's off the top of my head. Their "Renegades" album is full of covers of groups like EPMD, Volume 10, Cypress Hill, Afrika Bambaataa, Eric B & Rakim. Of course the hip hop influence of RATM is only part of the story. They're also hugely influenced by/friends with, and influential to punk rock, heavy metal, and rock acts including Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Black Sabbath, the Stooges, MC5, System of a Down, Tool, etc.

[@danrudnick5252]

Rage Against the Monday sounds like a great idea. Do that for three or four months. Bring back the Rage!

[@stephaniegeer1691]

Man this brings back some memories!!! lol fun times,the 90’s were freaking AWESOME!! 🎶❤️✌🏻

[@JD_Slacker]

Yes, they were. The shows were amazing.

[@flightlessbird1892]

Let’s fuckin go!!! RATM!! “If ur bowing down, then let me do the cutting “

[@lightlantern]

DAMN I LOVE RAGE!!!! So Lucky That I Grew Up On This My Teens Rocked!!!

[@Linkinparkfan45]

I love playing this song and killing in the name on vinyl cause I own there self titled on vinyl so thx for doing this live that had me head banging 😅😂

[@Abandoned_Bad_Dragon_Toy]

God damn I just woke up and the boys are reacting to one of my fav RATM songs

[@haydenwhite4381]

One of their best songs imo!

[@KenBober]

My father worked for Pontiac in Michigan from 69 to late 77 and the GTO nickname he always told me was Gas Tires and Oil, it burns all three lol.

[@MrLimonazo]

One of the BEST SONGS LIVE with all the power from everyone LONG LIVE TO RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@kennethbartlett4302]

I don't remember rappers talking much about him but I wasn't a big RATM fan. I like them way more now and have always respected them. Love this performance.

[@JimmyNuisance]

In one of the songs done on this particular gig, Zach rocks so hard he falls on his ass. It's hilarious, he just full on falls flat on his back. Too filled with rage to even find the grip needed to stay upright.

[@Chad_Sandridge75]

I'm pretty sure it's Bullet in the Head from this concert.

[@JimmyNuisance]

@@Chad_Sandridge75 Yup, that's exactly it.

[@sterling8298]

There's not a better way to start the monday morning than with some rage against the machine. One of my all time favorite bands. 😊🤘 I wish I could have gone to some of their concerts back then.😊🤘🖤

[@kathyedleman633]

The Wu Tang Clan toured with RATM in 1997.❤

[@ignorethefashion]

They were kicked off the tour by the time I seen them, replaced by The Roots and Atari Teenage Riot.

[@rebeccawoodman1203]

I believe you both would really appreciate listening to a Nordic band, "Wardruna! " Check out Isa song or Voluspa/ Vikings score with Trevor Morris and Polish orchestra!!

[@mattsaunders6107]

If you two have ever thought of a reaction to a full album, Rage Against the Machine's self titled is a great way to go!!! This song's on it.

[@kristaspecht]

Morning fellas! I'm awake! Lol! Great choice for a Monday!!! They kick ass!! 💯🤓

[@richardlandrum1966]

In 1992: Rage Against the Machine hit the scene with a metal/funk/hip-hop fusion, whose lyrics were calling out systemic racism, police brutality, wealth inequality, and imperialism. As a highly politically charged band, they only released an album every 4 years....this left a void in the market, and over the decade, dozens (if not hundreds) of bands labeled "nu-metal" flooded that void with a similar sound, but no real message beyond "I'm sad and angry" Socially attuned fans of Rage saw this as a step back, and a ploy by record labels to wash RATM out of the spotlight. (They would later have their whole discography banned from public radio after 2001) This is why fans balk when RAtM is labeled Nu-metal, because to us, the genre was relentlessly promoted to drown out the very important message coming from Rage. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻

[@richardlandrum1966]

"No shelter" next: They were forced by the record label (sony), to make a song for the godzilla soundtrack. So, they made a banger diss on media, Hollywood, and marketing. Somehow, it still managed to get approved and featured in the 1998 movie.

[@robertschiavone5159]

I'm glad you finally reacted to this one..check out the song how can I just kill a man..idk who did the original version

[@davidbelcher5419]

Damn they were so ridiculously good

[@PML78]

Imagine if when they went hard on this track live....u see the crowd holding up phones🙄

[@PeeWeeGerman1313]

One of my favorite RATM songs! Their first two albums are absolutely flawless!

[@AceAnnie1-7]

Can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m off outside to do some gardening now! 🌻

[@ianwood9771]

Hey there fellas. I saw Rage and Wu-tang back in the 90s. Great show. So do u think u fellas could react to Powershifter by my favorite band of course Fear Factory. Please and thanks

[@MikeOstrowski-iq8wf]

Zach joined Tool onstage with Maynard and sang the spoken Word on the track “Bottom” Lollapalooza (1993) 🌀👁🌀

[@kikivon3501]

Pink pop festival, the Netherlands. I don’t think Tom wore a shirt onstage for the first half of the 90’s 😂 I absolutely love Zack’s old skool west coast fit!!!! Classic 90’s Cali vibes

[@sumonjamal1653]

The 1992 debut album (self-titled) by Rage Against the Machine is an essential 90's record... It really got under the skin of the political & corporate class (Both parties!) cos RATM were talking about issues that no one wanted to touch... The fact that it was written and recorded before the L.A. riots of '92, they were on the case - talking about why the city was about to go up in flames ("Killing in the name of") "Silence makes me sick..." is exactly how I feel, because I was raised in a home where I couldn't speak up for myself or I would get smacked! Looking back, that is how the authority keeps u under their thumb... which gives them the incentive to be lawless and unjust. You have to speak up against abuse and injustice in any form... or else, the bullies and bullhorns will continue to do what they always do without any consequences to their actions or policies.

[@paulworby-ryan640]

Zach de la Roche is at least a top ten tier rapper of all time imo. You don't see many rappers pulling those crowds.

[@randywissler9923]

Not....even....close!!

[@pqiptesdana81]

Right! Linkin Park brought big crowds too.

[@ragerider6283]

In metal sure, but for hip hop, he's not even top 1000. However, that's missing the point of RATM entirely. They're almost unique & incomparable so it's nigh on impossible to pigeon hole them. Zach was exactly who & what he needed to be to make RATM the force they were at that moment in time. It's kind of irrelevant where he ranks in terms of rapping ability as he's more of a activist & political poet than a rapper imo.

[@paulworby-ryan640]

I'd agree with that, for me it's his lyrics, stage presence and that scream vocals that put him up at least higher than people give him credit for.

[@LimeGuy101]

It's the music that brought the crowds, not the rapping, nor the subject matter

[@brandonsimmons1695]

[@ShanLH5]

Rage against the Monday 😆 Also I like that Pittsburgh clue 😊

[@ladaddy19]

They did tours with Wu Tang. Did tracks with KRS One and had been on 3 of 4 RTJ albums. So he's got the Atlanta connect these days. He has always been respected.

[@BrianYates-ue8hf]

Hey hey from New England I was into RATM back into the day and saw them at Woodstock 99 and they rocked Tom Morello redefined what could be done with a guitar just like Monky and Head from KORN did with the 7 axes Also Brad Wilks is such an underrated drummer With that said my only problem was as they were singing about upending the establishment capitalism and other social topics they became millionaires in the process I'm a musician and I never played for $$ but I've also never passed up a paying gig lol so I get it but how can you rage against the machine while your taking $$ from the very pll you're singing about 🤔✌️🧐😎🤘

[@TriggerHappy923]

They address this themselves. They also are activists and use their money for such.

[@an1malsr0ck]

One of the few bands that I never got to tick off my list to see, sadly. Then and Pantera, I think I've seen all the rest I wanted to. Finalised got to see Tool in Manchester the other week and off to Amsterdam next week to see Avenged Sevenfold with my daughter! 😊

[@TheIcpfan23]

They did a tour with public enemy around 1992. And this was the pinkpop festival

[@rineran]

Hadn’t heard this one but it slaps super hard!

[@tilemonkee5510]

Hell Yeah!! ❤❤My favorite Rage song!!

[@jessisanchez8150]

Sad they indefinitely stopped touring because Zack blew his Achilles from all the jumping he did on stage, but can say the man would leave it all but there for those who showed up

[@HectorDeLaCruz-wt5jn]

You can tell they are Homies cuzz they finish the others sentence ... Respect ✌️

[@michaelnichols5777]

I saw RATM with Wu -Tang back in 97 it was one of the best concerts I’ve been too.

[@michaelbruin8972]

That turnip joke was pretty good man.

[@AlfredSoul]

Speaking of Wu-Tang, System of a Down, who were also through their politics affiliated with Rage against the Machine at the time, did a cover of "Shame" together with RZA xD In the 2000s though.

[@ignorethefashion]

You should react to their song from The Crow called Darkness.

[@robertschiavone5159]

This is the best version of this song..

[@deanlee2491]

If you Zack, check out The Mars Volta. Deloused in the comatoriam is..well it's so good that it's beyond words.

[@Metal_Archaeologist]

As A Thrash/Hair Metal/Grunge fan in 1993, Zach and RATM were held in high esteem, same as Public Enemy or Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy. But I'm kind of a socialist... Peace!!!
