@@iisGavin all the songs are available on here so I've downloaded and re-created the album locally. Although I'm slightly confused because this track is 4:11 but on Spotify it says it's 5:04 so I'm wondering it's actually another version that I can't find on KZbin that was previously included on Spotify @TheBigPushBand

They didn't ever go into killing in the name of, tbh. It was just sort of a nod. I think the better nod was crazy train to start the solo.

Don't forget crazy train

[@T1tusCr0w]

Man I liked the choices this band made. Old man here, but yeah it still hits the spot. Used to go to a Scottish rock club and they ALWAYS finished the night with - killing in the name of. I really like how they straighten out the beat. It kinda modernises the song while keeping that epic energy it is. 💪🏻

[@markcoutts1796]

@@T1tusCr0w I agree with you. The way they did all of it seemed modern but hard & heavy like in the hay day of their original conception. He seems to be quite a versatile performer. He's got the potential to go as far as he's willing to go with his performing as far as Im concerned.

The arrangement. The execution. The contagious joy emanating from the band and moving through the audience is why live music cannot be beaten. Not in a million years. I also love that Ren isn't trying to do an Ozzy impression, and his vocals are natural and perfect. The comradery of the band is infectious and because they are having such a blast the audience responds in kind. As an old rocker, it is so comforting to see a real rock band perform without teleprompters or backing tracks. The kids are alright, indeed.

[@carinmiller9211]

This was my first album. I stole it from my dad when he bought me my first stereo for Christmas when I was 13. It had a record player, but I had no albums. I listened to it over and over. He got mad, but it was a proud kinda mad... lol! Rage Against the Machine was my first concert (other than my dad in my living room every day). I saw them do Killing in the Name at a historical show in Spanish Fork, Utah. Google it. Its a great read. This performance hits in so many ways. I really love these guys. ❤❤❤

It is impossible to be a pretentious musician and convincingly pull off a War Pigs cover. There is no way to do that song without putting everything into it. People will know if your muffins are half-baked. All in all this was unique, timeous and much needed. Its a Yes from me 🤺

I will add, what artist have you seen mix Black Sabbath into Rage Against the Machine in a live mix, two epic songs and they make the combo into something amazing. (they did seem to miss the transition a bit more than their other mass up but still pretty amazing mix)

As a long time BS fan, l can say that was one of the better covers I've seen and like their enthusiasm for the music. Especially for their generation and love to see youngsters appreciate the music of my youth. I have seen other work they have done and really liked the Marley cover as well as some Stones tunes, but this is my favorite so far and rocked. The dude on base looks like he is right out the 70s and would love to see them come to the US. Does anyone know if they plan on touring outside of the UK or Europe in the future ?

@@TheBigPushBand Bless you to brother, l really meant what I said. Saw the never say die tour in 78 when I was a kid as well as the end in 2016, so I know talent when I see it and you guys are good together. It would be great if you could make it to the US in the future and would most definitely be there to see you. You guys should do more BS covers and maybe some Deep Purple. We are also huge fans of Bon Scott era AC DC, and was a great frontman. I can't emphasize enough how awesome it is to see the enthusiasm you guys have for real instrumental music in a dead era of DJs that have no idea how to even play an instrument and gives me hope for the future of live music, so please keep rockin brother and the rest will take care of itself if you have faith 🙏🏼
