Rage Against the Machine Calm Like A Bomb - Producer Reaction

[@BrewmasterDedspace]

That actually wasn't the guitar. It was the bass with that growl. Tim Commerford is one of my favorite bass players.

[@andrewrankin1921]

Also a wah pedal

[@robertflores8234]

Timmy C, or Tim Y2K is underrated as a bass player.

[@midkingsteve]

He built that pedal for that, seriously

[@kiwiana661]

Timmy is my spirit animal 😆

[@ANunes06]

Tim Commerford and John Myung both have bass tone that SLAPS in the mix and sounds like warmed up garbage when it's isolated. That's the sign of pure musicality. It's not just an arranged piece in the background. It becomes an integral part of the mix.

[@Palaciosdave]

Love this reaction, thats exactly how I felt as a kid when I first heard of them. Proud Angelino, thanks RATM.

[@jonporter1233]

"What kinda machine y'all got" Lol. I've never laughed harder.

[@Fragmentshc]

Yo, I love what you did by improvising your bass line to the song. That shit sounded HARD!

[@Altairdoom]

Love from Russia. RATM has been my favorite band since 1992. One of the best guitarist in the world. What you say? What you say? What? Thank God that I heard them in 1992 it influenced my teenage life. Love from Russia.

[@JoeyCannoli97]

Hey Mike, the part you were talking about was just the bass. He throws on a drive pedal and I think a wah too. The only layered guitar parts I know in the song are some muted string chica type things, but what you were pointing out was my man Tim on bass.

[@Ant-bm1qk]

This is one of your best reactions. I can’t help it either but to pick up an instrument and try to jam along

[@russday81]

Yesssssss... let the darkness flow thru you

[@rbdrown27]

I really don't think I've ever smiled wider at a reaction ever. That's exactly the vibe of this fucking song.

[@snowman4098]

Music man . like it , same here . These guys got the crowd pumped up like no other ! Feel the funk now ! 🤘🤘😎

[@elbruces]

The bass player holds the body of the song. You know our man would get it.

[@MZ-bl6wg]

Dude I love this guy! Not afraid to get up and air guitar in front of everyone

[@MK-fi6mh]

Tom morello is black and he is an amazing guitarist top 20 all time

[@elbruces]

Top 10 easy.

[@MisakiLeasim]

“Eyyy that’s funky” and standing up to it was hilarious. I thought to myself YEAH BROTHER YOU CANT RAGE SITTING!! 😂😂

[@nadograymountain]

CALM like a bomb lol. Nice track to react to. ✊🏽

[@nadograymountain]

That growl is the BASS guitar

[@sabbivideo]

You are funny man, i am gonna watch you for ever.

[@billhicks6449]

I love it. Good string work inevitably leads to picking up the axe🙂.

[@terryyoung7338]

Hah yeah it's fun watching you have to rock out man. Enjoy it

[@joeyo691]

Tim Commerford, the bassist was laying down that growling baseline, and Tom Morello, the lead guitarist, was doing the long, climbing high notes But looooove the reaction. That’s how Rage make me feel too lol

[@Hossflex]

The parts with the wah peddle is bass that is also using distortion and an octave pedal.Timmy C, he has some of the best hooks, tone and use of pedals to maxim what a bass can do. There’s a video on KZbin where he goes down his rig and it’s insane all the different mods he’s done.

[@TheGreenie21]

I love how you busted out the bass lol rock in dude! 🤘 I bet you can find some tabs or you might not even need them you were pretty close playing it by ear 👂 you can easily learn these bass parts you're a solid bassist yourself 😎

[@damntherube1592]

And check out the guitarist Tom Morello, he makes the crazy noises all analog through the guitar

[@Diplomat440]

I was really hoping for some clams! Great reaction sir!

[@ryanmckenna3503]

Seeing Tom perform this live is an experience

[@NoChi4240]

4:28 that's the bass baby

[@armandohuaste1732]

I'm so glad you displayed the lyrics. I hope you may break down the lyrics.

[@xyoutubearchivex]

Dunno if you ever listened to Zacks stuff on Run The Jewels, but its worth it. He keeps this same energy and they compliment each other so well. Love it dude!

[@sabbivideo]

by the way you want to joint with this jam with the bass was the best tingh i saw in a while

[@geofferyvanderpool9831]

“I’m trying to hear the lyrics” lol 😂

[@damntherube1592]

That second guitar was Tim on the bass for sure

[@MZ-bl6wg]

U should do more of this playing bass with rage man that was bad assss seeing more funk added in oh man like another band mate in there ! Loved that!!

[@edmusto9622]

You made love to that guitar! Best reaction i’ve seen for sure mate

[@RC99_Productions]

If you love Tom Morello and Tim Commerford's guitar work, then you should check out Prophets Of Rage. They're an extension of Rage's work, mixed in with Public Enemy and Cypress Hill. I'd highly recommend reacting to their songs "Hail To The Chief" and "Unfuck The World", especially since Rage are reuniting in 2021. Thanks and keep up the awesome work.

[@stuchoob4062]

I second this at least three times.

[@chrisbertling5895]

The machine is a metaphor for the federal government

[@Dowinohue]

💯

[@hans4595]

no, it's not just the federal government. It's the establishment. The Capitalist system. The government or the state is merely a tool used by the Capitalist to consolidate power.

[@Dowinohue]

@@hans4595 true, this is more accurate. A gov of the people, not corrupt or tempted by capitalism, would just be a collaboration of the people.

[@cristiannavarro3764]

Hello yeah get it that was cool how he busted out with his own guitar 🎸

[@GnashBistro]

there's a clam in your thumbnail : )

[@ponfed]

You should tour with them

[@modifidious7171]

Shout out to all the clams.

[@DeusVoltt]

It’s great man, feel it ride it!

[@Freshenstein23]

Thank you for listening to the album version first. Dummies are out here wanting people to listen to the drowned out live shit first. Well done sir.

[@zachariahrichards2843]

Tom Morello is a legend!!!!

[@CracknDFlesh26]

Tim n Tom are FUCKING MONSTERS!!! RATM👑

[@SpeakmanDavid]

Well, ordinarily I would say that's fine (about the lyrics), BUT, in this case, if he is this stoked about the musicianship, he might be even more fired up with the lyrics!

[@ANunes06]

I'm only clicking this thumbnail because of the amazing typo in it. Clam Bomb sounds like a next-gen water-type pokemon and I'm here for that. Oh and Rage is good.

[@Shadare]

Never seen somebody play an instrument jammin with the band they reacting to. Obviously some technical work to figure out but I think it is definitely a cool idea. Would also help you copyright wise, as when you play an instrument along with them NOBODY can argue that the material is not "transformative in nature".

[@robertflores8234]

Hold up! We always see two guitarists, but when was slappin da bass, it sounded dope! Whatch’ y’all think if Rage had 2 bass players? 🤔

[@robertsnipes8052]

The machine is the government

[@ANunes06]

Think bigger. The machine transcends governments. Modern governments are products of the machine. Corporate power is a product of the machine. Prisons are products of the machine. War is a product of the machine. Poverty is a product of the machine. The machine is Capitalism. Also, fun fact, Zack made a joke at one point when answering this question implying that "The machine" in question was his 1979 Chevrolet touring van. “That piece of [expletive] was always breaking down,” De La Rocha allegedly said. “I can’t tell you how many times that van broke down back in 1991 when we were starting out, how many gigs we lost because it would quit working.” He continued: “We called that monstrosity every name you can think of and even invented a few new words. When we finally made enough money to buy a new van to house our equipment, the first thing we all did was take sledgehammers and beat the [expletive] out of that thing.” "The Government" works as a decent shorthand though. "American Government" specifically ends up being their main focus, anyway.

[@prowers2623]

I'm as clam as a bomb

[@jflatty5389]

i don't want to go against that machine it's too funky- thank you for that line you made me spit my drink up while hearing that

[@snap2snip]

They have layered guitar tracks

[@johnsummers9660]

RATM and Tool taught me how to play bass.

[@nigelcicero9093]

the intro is poppin even though i skipped past it

[@geofferyvanderpool9831]

That’s Timmy c with distorted bass brother!

[@lequebecois9176]

Yeah! 🤪🤪

[@kiwiana661]

Mic check 🤙🤙

[@nadoistheman]

The bass and drums are nice...and you did ok too lol

[@7BlueDodger]

There are some Rage Against The Machine songs where the bass is mistaken for guitar. Tom Morello is an innovator but don’t sleep on Tim Commerford. White boys can get funky too.

[@kalerwenisreal1984]

I like the idea that NATO is asking for this

Aye man, what happened to your jeans ? 😂
