RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE - VIETNOW

[@phush3495]

Probably the cleverest, poetic lyrical assault ever written.

[@Nickel138]

Stacey Koon was one of the LAPD officers who beat Rodney King. “The transmissions whippin' our backs Yeah, comin' down like bats from Stacey Koon.” Powerful shit. As always, I am going to ask for a reaction to the ghost of Tom Joad by rage against the machine.

[@gerardjansen36]

I am as white as can be, but I don't close my eyes for injustice and the message of RATM. I am a fan from the beginning. I have experienced them live a couple of times. Keep on doing the good work!

[@RedTopReactions]

Thanks for sharing

[@Elezium]

That line "I'm a truth addict, aw shit i got a headrush" is one of my all time favourite lines from Zack - the whole song is great though and you got it spot on again with where it's coming from! I'm also gonna back the request below for a reaction to Without A Face, which is possibly my favourite RATM track ;)

[@RedTopReactions]

GOTCHA

[@joedafrog]

My favorite RATM lines are: 1. "I'm a truth addict, aaaaw shit I got a head rush" 2. "Hungry people don't stay hungry for long" 3 "got no card, so I got no soul, life is prison - no parole - no control"

[@FLPXIZ]

Without a Face is a must go for deep lyrics from zack !!!!

[@taylorsmith7098]

"Flex the cerebellum" a bar i didnt catch before until you pointed it out. The cerebellum controls the nervous system so all your actions and speech is controlled by that. So maybe hes saying take action and speak up?

[@RedTopReactions]

I HAD TO THINK FOR A MINUTE. I WAS ABOUT TO JUST BYPASS IT , BECAUSE IT DIDNT COME TO ME AS FAST AS I LIKED. BUT FINALLY CLICKED. WHERE THE CEREBELLUM WAS LOCATED

Cerebellum is the primative brain, responsible for basic life function. Respiratory and heart rate. That's what snipers aim for to turn u off like a switch

[@stevencanzonetta1971]

Great reaction "Vietnow" is in my all-time top 10. As far as the belonging to a record label, while raging against the machine paradox goes... First, nice catch! Most people miss that one. But neither did Zac. When he says "there'll be no shelter here." He's referring to himself, calling himself out. "Make you think that buying is rebelling," he's saying buying my record doesn't make you part of a movement or cause. And I'm not here to shelter you. In their defense, they didn't have the platform musicians do today. There was no internet in '92. Anyway, keep up the good work. Last, 2 suggestions, Rage "People of the Sun" Pantera "Domination" live Moscow '91. Dimebag Darrell, best guitar player of the 90's wrecking it in front of 1 million people.

This song is the epitome of why you always have to have lyrics for Rage.....There is no way to hear everything if you don't already know what he's saying. ✊🏽❤️

[@MK-fi6mh]

Great reaction brah- Zach spits bars from 92’

[@stamina4357]

My guy! Going a little deeper on the Evil Empire, nice! Always glad you get their lyrics almost instantly. When you have some free time, react to Without a Face and Roll Right from the same album, mega underrated songs. Peace!!

[@TheShapingSickness]

"The same devil that ran around Managua with a sword" Underrated line. I'm from Nicaragua's neighboring country Costa Rica, people from my country are extremely xenophobic towards nicas, but I gotta tell you, nicas really have some balls, the things they did to kick out the Yankees from power are things us ticos would've never achieve.

[@RedTopReactions]

THANKS FOR WATCHING PLEASE SUB IF YOU HAVENT ALREADY - HE

[@LuisLopez-rb3rw]

So true brother, I have been to Costa Rica and Nicaragua a few times and I have felt that negative vibes towards nicas. If there’s one thing this band taught me in my early years to listening to them was to treat everyone equally. Don’t get me wrong your country is beautiful and so many ways but I can feel the vibe of superiority some ticos have towards the rest of the brothers in Central America, I’m glad your seeing the order side of the story. Furthermore, now your country is controlled and owned by the American Dream. ✌️✌️🌍✌️✌️

[@Bonz-vc8zd]

Had to get “Fear Is Your Only God” tattooed on my chest

[@lennaerttjallingii8164]

Good stuff man! I always interpreted yhe line "the power pendulum swings by the umbilical cord" as the powers that be using the whole abortion debate as a method to swing the masses towards their plans to further their own needs, that have hardly anything to do with the actual debate. keep it coming! 🙌

[@RedTopReactions]

ONLY THING WHEN CERTAIN THINGS I HEAR IN THEIR MUSIC. I DON'T REMEMBER BEING MAJOR ISSUES THEN. SO DURING THE TIMES THEN I DON'T THINK( I COULD BE WRONG) BUT I DONT THINK ABORTION WAS AS HOT OF A TOPIC AS IT IS NOW. HI , THANKS FOR WATCHING, PLEASE SUB IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY -HE

[@lennaerttjallingii8164]

@@RedTopReactions i could be mistaken aswell, i'm not american and i was like 3 years old when it was released 😂 that said i thought that in the 90s there was a lot of anti-abortion related terrorism. I guess thats part of the beauty of Zach's lyrics, there are a lot of layered messages and different interpretations atleast cause more debate. And i am subbed man, it's refreshing to see someone react to RATM with a bit more than just "he got bars!", Not that im only here for RATM of course. Much love from the Netherlands!

[@atelierbones]

@@RedTopReactions Bro, I love your reactions for the thoughtful dissection of words, keep up the great work! As for Abortion, it has been a hot topic. In the 80s and 90s, it was regular to see abortion clinics firebombed by Evangelicals, in an attempt to force it to stop. The only justification: God said it's wrong. (Narrator's voice: "Actually, I never mentioned it, so yeah...") Strange how destruction of property and vandalism was never a problem when "Upstanding White Christians" do it. In fact they are rarely even investigated. Go figure. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Dagoodsco]

Everyone misses that big homie. I been listening to Rage since the 90’s I’m an old head!! They broke up for about 10 years. Their reunion was 2007 or something like that at the Coachella concert. Of course i was there fuckin insane 60k people. Intense powerful to be part of!

[@Dagoodsco]

A lot of their shit is directed toward indigenous people of Mexico. This is from people of the sun. neva forget that tha wip snapped ya back Ya spine cracked for tobacco, oh I'm the Marlboro man, uh Our past blastin' on through the verses Brigades of taxi cabs rollin' Broadway like hearses Troops strippin' zoots, shots of red mist, Sailors blood on tha deck. The Troops strippin Zoots line is a direct play on the The Zoot Suit Riots. They were a series of conflicts on June 3-8, 1943 in Los Angeles, California, United States, which pitted American servicemen stationed in Southern California against Mexican-American youths who were residents of the city. It was one of the dozen wartime industrial cities that suffered race-related riots in the summer of 1943, along with Mobile, Alabama; Beaumont, Texas; Detroit, Michigan; and New York City.
