- I told my friends/co-workers that "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies" by Panic At the Disco is one of the best white boy songs I've ever heard. Now they're sending me song suggestions and I'm doing live reactions here, on the Trying White Music series lmao
This song was requested by Matt on Patreon.com/robtv! - บันเทิง

Shoutout to Matt on Patreon for requesting Calm Like A Bomb! BANGER!!! Check out Patreon.com/RobTV if u wanna get videos early or make guaranteed requests in HOF tier. BUT TRUST, watching, commenting, sharing, etc. is more than enough. Much love ya'll!
I would love to see movie reactions. You're fire just like Devon G TV. You would do great at them. Just a idea
REACT to criminals in action by KRS ONE, ZACK DE LA ROCHA, THE LAST EMPEROR
You could do a food from around the world series for reacts, best music hits from different years competition, you'd be hilarious doing fashion reacts, or subscribers could suggest their favorite comedians for reaction vids if you're into any of those. The music ones have been awesome.
One day as a Lion - Wild International
Next rage song: Down Rodeo
As far as Zack's political ideology, he's about as extreme as it gets. He's basically Huey from The Boondocks. A few months ago Rage was inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame and Zack wasn't there because he was busy protesting the war in Gaza. He's really about it.
As an anarcho-communist myself, I don't find the views extreme at all. I find the current status quo extreme and unsustainable.
Power and profit over people, exploitation of workers and indigenous communities in the search of a sort of capitalist manifest destiny, corporations running governments, colonialism still alive today, the poisoning of our planet and prisons making money by keeping their jails full with a 21st century version of chattel slavery.
It's untenable and you can see it crumbling before your eyes right now. It takes time but capitalism is in itself unsustainable.
That's extreme to me but hey, we all have our own perceptions of the world.
Was......
@@victoriaman117 What is this in response to?
@@nickvlachos575 your not anti establishment if your enforcing vaccine mandates my man
@@nickvlachos575they’re probably one of those idiots that’s all offended these days about Rage “selling out” (which is ridiculous). In reality, they’re most likely a right winger that’s only just now finding out what the band stands for.
New RobTV RATM reaction means we drop everything immediately.
Can’t wait for Down Rodeo. He needs to drive down Rodeo Drive before he listens to it though since he’s in LA.
@@JJ-to6qu .... Great mf idea. That's some content actually lol
Agree, I know most people want to see that for the reaction to the hook, but overall its another one of Zacks very lyrical songs.
i thought the same thing! he makes me lol!!
work off, headphones in
Narrator: In fact, it was not calm at all.
They did say "like a bomb".
About as calm as a bomb
Rob is going to absolutely lose HIS MIND if he ever gets to “Down Rodeo”. I look forward to that.
100 percent! I suspect that if he started listening to Rage more than a year ago, he's heard it by now though. I certainly hope not though!
This aged well!!
He already reacted to that song!
Yes! Finally!!!
Down Rodeo and Wake Up are a must.
+100 to do Wake Up
Down Rodeo 100% must
Really can’t wait for him to do Wake Up. Feels like that’s gotta be next up for him right??
"Would Zack be for Socialism"
Rage literally supported Shining Path, a Marxist-Leninist revolutionary group, and the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN), a revolutionary militant Libertarian Socialist indigenous movement in Mexico. Tom Morello regularly wore Communist symbols. You can see the influence of radical far-left militancy in many of their music videos, especially Bulls on Parade, but the lyrics are pretty explicit about the need to seize the means of production.
“Fuck tha g-ride,I want the machines that are makin’ em!”
I was about to say "Hard no. Not nearly radical enough. We don't have words in this country for what Zack believes in. And I'm honestly here for it." For all our faults, Bless America for having RULE #1 say he's allowed to say whatever the hell he wants.
@@ANunes06Why then are pigs arresting university students for saying "free Palestine"? I'll tell you why. Because in the US there's no freedom of speech, there's tyranny.
Generally considered Anarcho-communist. Like myself.
@@ANunes06maybe that used to be true. While still a minority I’ve seen the growth of radical anti-capitalists over the last decade. The increase in anarchists, ML’s, socialists, even fcking Mao 3rd worldists. A combo of worsening economic conditions, access to info & authoritarian crackdowns, ppl have been waking up to the contradictions inherent in our imperialist capitalist structure. Considering how incredibly propagandized we are, how separated we are by neo liberal individualism, it’s actually crazy. And 100% it’s bc everything has gone to far. For years the declining middle class was kept afloat by debt, but there’s a point when you can’t take on anymore debt, wages don’t keep up while prices for necessities rise. As rights gets stripped & the party who says they stand for those rights are feckless, powerless p•ssies who will say they hear us & see us, but won’t do sht for us. One party being rabid sociopaths & the other the liberal elites, both thinking we’re fcking peasants to feed to the corporate profit machine until we drop dead. But srsly there used to be few truly radicalized leftists but that’s changing. I feel like weve reached a tipping point. Ofc we could just as easily descend into facism but there’s an actual chance for a real revolution of a multicultural proletariat. At least I have a sliver of hope, but most of the time I think we’ll just burn.
You need to give Tim C some love on that bass. Brad Wilk on drums holding that funky beat. Come’on man!
Rage's bass game is SO strong. Inspired me to improve my bass skills so much.
Indeed the opening baseline is one of my favorites.
Can you believe ppl unironically talk about liking Rage "before they got political" ? like...their name is RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE.
😂 people really believe that their personal experience controls reality. Just because Nate realized Rage is political in 2020 doesn't mean that's when Rage became political.
Obviously, the machine was a printer. Have you ever had to get one of those things to work?
My all time favorite response was Tom Morello's "Scott!! What music of mine were you a fan of that DIDN’T contain “political BS”? I need to know so I can delete it from the catalog."
2:03 "Do you hear that fucking Guitar?" That's actually the Bass. The main driving riff is the Bass and the Guitar is doing those high pitched sounds.
Preach bro. I agree.
I was looking for this comment. 🫡
Your Rage reactions are the best thing on TH-cam!
The guitar part your talking about at 2:04 is actually Tim playing the bass run through a distortion pedal and a wah-wah pedal to create that "shake your speaker baffles" sound.
And Tom's solo... he plays that sh%t LIVE!
There's no over dubbing of tracks in their music (for the most part)
And I'll also sign the "Down Rodeo" petition for next Rage song
Your comment needs attention!
the parts that sound like he's playing multiple lines on top of each other are done with a delay pedal
Yeah this song is a great example of Tim being the centrepiece that makes the whole thing work. People love Tom and rightly so, but Tim's bass is doing a LOT of the heavy lifting on this track.
@@rahzark That and an incredible sense of rhythm and prodigious technical skill.
This comment !
An empire, by definition, requires domination of additional territories as it expands beyond its central domain. So they are always oppressive, meaning hope returns once they fall.
This whole band is talking the talk and then walking that walk, but Zack is a Radical Leftist who wants Revolution. He’s especially inspired by the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) that focuses on land reform/return, anti-colonialism, anti-neoliberalism, libertarian socialism. The complete destruction of capitalism is what Zack wants and is trying to contribute to.
I really recommend checking out 1) the RATM radical reading list, and B) Interviews with Zack. He’s not an armchair politico, he’s thought very deeply and learned a lot about rev left ideology and how it applies to the modern world.
As to your question at the end of the video about payment, RATM songs are credited to being written by Rage Against the Machine meaning that all 4 members are considered equal creators of the music, since “Labour is entitled to all it creates” is one of the band’s messages.
"Even on regular beats." WE NEED A RUN THE JEWELS REACTION.
"Close Your Eyes and Count to F**k" is haaaard
And one day a lion
@@timp1390 I love that project. I'm a Trent STAN, but that's still closer to RATM than it is to "regular beats" (in the mind of a rap fan's idea of rap instrumentals).
@@DJKuroh it's a brilliant collab. Pretty basic but hits hard
My thoughts exactly
Oh yes this one as well🎉
As a huge Rage fan since the first album (starting a thousand years ago, when I was a kid - I'm 41) it's been a lot of fun to watch your reactions to their songs. Your other videos are great too - even if we have different opinions/tastes, your enthusiasm and passion for music really comes through and I watch every vid. Cheers.
“He can’t do all these sounds at one time.”
You underestimate Tom Morello.
thats what pedals are for
And Tim on bass…
I was 21 when I started listening to Rage. That was 1991. As 21 year old brotha people were like what are you listening too? My reply was “ These MFers are Dope AF!” I love seeing young brothas now seeing what I saw over 30 years ago!❤
I was in 8th grade in 91 and became an adult listening to Rage, Soundgarden, STP, and Pearl Jam. Plus Biggie, Nas, ATCQ, Beasties, and then MF DOOM. And my parents wondered how I turned out the most liberal and pro-marginalized populations person in my family by far. 😂
Same. Well, I was 15. What a glorious time for music.
Watching you react to Rage is a g%d d&mn m#th@f^ckin joy.
✊🏾 Zack did a song with The Last Emperor and KRS-1 called C.I.A (criminals in action)✊🏾
Yeah that is straight bars in that song.
Rage is the perfect rock band to introduce to hip hop fans if you want get them into rock. Zach is essentially an mc at heart. Its like he heard the bring the noise remix by public enemy and anthrax amd was like my goal is to perfect that sound and create a new lane. Toms guitar work only added to that. Bomb squad samples? Naw i can do that shit live bro.
Battle of los angeles being the best blend of the two.
Also after rage most of the songs zach showed up on were straight up hip hop. Lyricist lounge anyone?
Btw obligatory down rodeo recommendation.
Also waiting on down Rodeo
YES
Agreed, can't believe he hasn't done Down Rodeo yet
And the contrary is also true ! I started my musical journey on metal and rock big time, then I came across the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Rage Against the Machine, and now I'm hooked on YG, Nipsey, Young Thug... And still listening to rock, metal, punk and so and so...
I recommend listening to Prophets of Rage, a supergroup with the rhythmic section of Rage and Chuck-D and B-Real on the mic, just 🔥
Chuck D is thanked specifically on Rage’s first album. He’s definitely a huge influence in the beginning and obviously later by the prophets of Rage.
Dude, I’ve watched dozens of reactions to so many RATM songs…
You’re the first one to catch & comment on the background chorus chanting, “IGNITE! IGNITE! IGNITE!”
I believe it’s a metaphor for the poor who are always repressed by the rich/elites. They’re calm… but sooner or later… pressure will ignite.
It's fun to kind of get to experience a song for the first time again through someone else's reaction!
Zack is a legend in multiple genres, he was a really solid singer in the hardcore band Inside Out, then in RATM he was SIMULTANEOUSLY one of the best mainstream rappers and rock frontmen of the 90's. Now he periodically collabs with really legit hip-hop artists (like RTJ). Even did some traditional Mexican music.
And with all that success and fame he stays incredibly humble and private. You don't hear from him unless it's on a track.
So good luck siting down with him, but hey, sometimes dreams come true!
Rage - Take the Power Back
As close to old school hip hop as one gets; banging bass from Tim
The best
With how hard Tom shreds, Tim’s greasy baselines get so overlooked, especially in this song. That’s why Rage is my favorite band, Zach has the most piercing, amazing voice, Brad is incredible on drums, Tim has the filthiest baselines, and Tom is imo the greatest guitarist to ever live. No weak links whatsoever
RobTV, This made me laugh so much! Thanks for sharing!
your reaction to Rage songs never fails to give me chills 😆
He did those sounds at once
I would assume using loops with foot pedals though, so sort of a middle ground there.
@@ReivecS but it means he can play it live and replicated it without layering tracks so its def more of an "at once"
@@cags113 I am totally on board but it is still enabled by technology so he can't REALLY do all those sounds at once.... thus middle ground.
A lot of what people assume is guitar there is bass
@@ReivecS Nah, just a delay pedal and a good bassist holding the groove for him. so he's playing it live, but the "echo" comes slightly later and is made to be just as loud as the initial part so it sounds like two guitars at the same time. It'll only echo what he's playing live, it's not storing anything as a sample. There is a tech element to it, but no more than pretty much every guitarist has at their feet. Tom just uses it differently.
I'm really enjoying watching you get radicalised in real time. Keep it up!
Bro, I love your personality. Keep doing your thing.
I remember two dudes in a McDonald's drive thru making fun of me 25 years ago for this. I was like, "you guys dont even know what you're trashing".
Rob reacting to Rage, YES PLEASE! For real though you should check out Run The Jewels - Close Your Eyes And Count To F*ck, that features Zack! That shit BUMPS!
Hey Roberto, I love this RATM reacts.
Here's a bit of Zach's past history to give context on some of the lyrics and his style:
"His father was a muralist and a member of Los Four, the first Chicano art collective to be exhibited at a museum.
De la Rocha's great grandfather, Jose Isaac de la Rocha Acosta, was a Mexican revolutionary who fought in the Mexican Revolution. His grandfather Isaac de la Rocha, was an agricultural laborer in the U.S. De La Rocha would later see the hardships his grandfather endured reflected in the struggles of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation.
De la Rocha's parents divorced when he was six, and he moved from East Los Angeles to Irvine with his mother, who attended the University of California, Irvine and earned a PhD in anthropology.
De la Rocha later described Irvine as "one of the most racist cities imaginable" and said that "if you were a Mexican in Irvine, you were there because you had a broom or a hammer in your hand."
If you wanna hear Zack rapping on a straight up hip hop track check out the song “C.I.A. (Criminals in Action)” by KRS-One. He features on it and it goes hard.
Comedy. George Carlin, Bill Burr. But more Rage for sure! Wake Up, Down Rodeo. Guerrilla Radio
Zach went solo after Rage. Check out “Wild International” from One Day As A Lion
The lyrics and flow on that track is probably his best work, it’s insane
Wild International is crazy. Also check out Digging for Windows.
This!!!
This!!!
Dude, you got yourself another Subscriber. I just binged all RATM videos. You nailed the reaction and it's funny how you come to lots of same realizations as me (and I think a lot of other people as well). Man RATM is so RAW, punches us in the stomach right from the get-go, don't waste a second, like you've said. No word is misplaced. It's just fireeeeeee. Keep'em comming. BTW: Any reactions are good if they are from the heart (saw the SOD, and I appreciate you being truthful). Keep it going! Peace!
I don't know how anyone can start listening to Rage against the Machine... like them, and then not binge their whole catalogue.
I’m a hip hop fan who learned about Rage and a lot of these other bands via this series. I wouldn’t binge a catalogue and lose the content when there’s a billion other songs that I can listen to that I won’t make vids on.
@@HollywoodRobTV I get it, It's just a lot of restraint.
@@averagegatsbyIf he spits out all the Rage catalog now, he’ll drop viewers once it’s all done lol
Rob, you should definitely do whatever different types of content you want on the channel, we’ll be supporting it all!
As for Rage, you should listen to the entire album this is from, “Battle of Los Angeles” sometime, whether you do it on your own or make a video. You’ll love it, there’s not a bad track.
I’m actually surprised you hadn’t reacted to Guerilla Radio yet, it was their biggest hit from this album, and probably their most well known song after Bulls on Parade. Anyway, great video as always!
Been a Rage fan since the beginning. Rob, I've seen a bunch of your reaction vids now and LOVE seeing you become a super fan. Nothing gets my blood pumping like RATM. Thanks for breaking down the lyrics - even after decades of listening, I haven't fully analyzed all the lyrics bc just the music alone puts me in a frenzy. You're real Rob, I appreciate that. Keep doing what you're doing!
Check out Zack with Run the Jewels. A must!
This is my must-see-tv. You capture my joy in your own way. Every song always comes out swinging. Seeing you enjoy them justifies much of my beliefs, my core. These dudes grabbed me by the collar and shook sense into my ethos. Thank you for sharing. Stank face loading...
Hey Rob, been watching your content for a while now bro. I really enjoy watching you explore the different genre it's like a cultural exchange you're digging the stuff now that I've dug for years. Keep up the good work.
Zach is saying what we all feel. Not even just as a black person, a human being. He's a poet for justice. I know he'd hate me but I love him .
You can hear Zack on a rap track. You can check him out with KRS One on C.I.A., or you can hear him with Run the Jewels on at least three tracks.
9:10 you can absolutely do all of these sounds at once using a delay pedal for your instrument! It's essentially an echo that you can control the exact repetition rate and number of repetitions of, and you just turn it on by pressing a button with your foot- same pedal he used for the echo in the Like A Stone solo.
Subscriber from Sydney Australia, be cool to see you reacting to some NRL (australian football)
BEEN waiting for another rage reaction! ❤ glad you liked. Keep them coming
No shit, check out Zack's rap style in his side project band "One Day as a Lion", just do their one big song "Wild International" I'd love your reaction to that, I think everyone would.
Man i love these kind of videos, you bring a new perspective to a band i already loved. I recommend Mic Check from the same album it's great
RENEGADES OF FUNK BY RAGE IS 🔥🔥🔥🔥
White Aussie dudes grew up on this in the 90s mate haha. The racism isn't individual, it's systemic. We all need to love each other.
I really enjoy what your doing, keep doing it! As far as anything outside of music reactions? I’d stay right here 😊
RATM came out with 3 albums of original music, with this song being on their last album which dropped in ‘99 (I was in high school) and this whole album is 🔥Their 4th (and last) album is all cover songs, and they cover a few hip hop artists, so it’s cool to hear Zack rapping to hip hop songs on that album.
Does everyone realize how frickin smart and astute Rob is? His commentary belies a deep understanding of political thought and human nature. Respect!
Rob...we love you mate! Love from England!
Zach is a fucking master lyricist, and yes hes a hardcore true believer for the cause. He bout as far left as you can get bro, and we right there with him.
After watching all your Rage reactions (definitely not multiple times each 👀) I’m super surprised more people haven’t rec’d Renegades of Funk. Lyrics have you jumping out the chair type track. No question the next vid is gonna be Wake Up and I’m with that. His message in Renegades is on brand for your reactions though. 🎯
You gotta hear "pistol grip pump 🤙🔥 be ratm
My favorite RATM song (cover).
Banger!
Pistol grip pump in my queue at all times
I love your reactions. Looking great as well!
Thanks! 🙏🏾
I'd be interested in seeing you react to other types of content, but i do LOVE your music reactions.
You have to check out his songs with Run Thew Jewels.
As far as what a band member makes, I believe the ones credited for the songs make the most from royalties. If the band chooses to split the signing contract evenly that is up to them. And most bands make money from touring (ticket sales). So again, what they decide to do with the money is up to them.
Movie Reactions would be awesome
I grew up on Rage… the best! Music these days doesn’t come close. Rage is more relevant today than ever before. Legends
Lets fkn goooooo!!!
LFG!!!!
Me, I’m just anti-human greed. Whatever your political beliefs or party, business, musical genre or anything. I’m against human greed.
Just found your videos and have really been enjoying your love for Rage. All the songs you have listened to are great but I would love to get your take on Voice of the Voiceless off the Battle of Los Angeles album. One of the best intros Tom has ever done and didn’t get as much play time but an all time fave. I’m a new subscriber and thanks for bringing me back to my high school days!!
YESS!!! Seeing your reaction make's me remember hearing RATM for the first time ❤
Keep up the good work 🤟
He's own a track rapping on "Nervous Hip Hop" you gotta hear that.
Yes, all those sounds are made at once. Tom, and the extension of his body that is his guitar, makes those noises at one time. It’s glorious perfection!
"I'M CALM LIKE A BOOOOMB", said Zack de la Rocha calmly.
I got so excited to see you had 2 new RATM reactions. This song is one of my favorite bass lines and the song playing at their concert when i fell in ❤ with my hubs 18 years ago. Id love to see your reaction to Immortal Techniquw, he is radical like RATM but a traditional rapper. Recommend the 4th branch ❤
Yo, you got a subscribe from us. I once said to a friend of mine "a good line is everything" and my buddy said "recognizing a good line is everything else." That's you, that is. Cheers Mang, protect that huge heart of yours. Onwards!!
You need to hear Zach on track he did with Run The Jewels. It’s more traditional rap, but he is still Zach. From a dude who has listened to him since the early nineties in middle and high school!
Zack's got some verses on a couple Run The Jewel's beats, which are still not necessarily "traditional beats" but still hip hop. My favorite of his is on "JU$T"
There's an updated version of PE's Burn, Hollywood Burn with Zack, Chuck D & The Roots, along with tracks he's done with Run the Jewels, if you want to hear him on more traditional sounding hip-hop.
Delay pedals are Tom Morello's magic.
Like mango salsa for a chef.
Your reactions are as real as RATM fella - love it! It's awesome to see someone as hyped about them as I was/am - Zach de la Rocha is indeed an "Elite Penman" but every member of the band are elite at their instruments. Tom Morello is one-of-a-kind! Timmy C drops heavy-ass bass bombs and Brad just keeps driving from behind the kit- he's not stopping till the machine comes down!!
I needed this video 🤘
I think this episode should be in the convo of your top overall man. I’m over here talking to my tv n shit like you in the living room lol Calm Like a Bomb is nastyyy live too, front to back.
You should absolutely react to more than music. Movies? The news? You have a very unique voice.
Yeah my man glad to see you did this one. If you see them live you would see there is no layering of Tom's guitar solo, HE PLAYS THAT SHIT JUST LIKE THAT LIVE!!!!
This is a keystone song for Tim the bassist and perfectly displays his skillz. The main beat of the song is actually the bass with a waaah pedal and he does the backing vocals for Zack. When a bassist can sing and play thats special but when they can bang riffs and sound like Chris Cornell (Sound garden and Audio Slave) and Zack (RATM) is epic really.
Flex brother!
Personally I enjoy that you speak your mind on Politics, I’d enjoy seeing you go in that direction.
Triple Blessings Upon you!
♥️✊🏿
Zack is also featured on a couple RUN THE JEWELES tracks and he had another sick project called ONE DAY AS A LION if you want to hear more of him outside of RATM. Highly recommend checking out both.
He does some collabs with Run The Jewels, as well as a sick tune with Roni Size, Centre of the Storm
I don't expect a reply here since I doubt you want to get too into politics, but saying you are "pro-capitalism" is mostly meaningless without defining what you mean. I say this because there is so much FUD from a variety of sources that will use words like capitalism, socialism, communism, liberal, conservative, Neo-conservative, progressive, etc, but they all have VERY DIFFERENT meanings (if they even really have much of a meaning at all besides scare tactics). Some people will think of capitalism as meaning "no or little regulation" but that isn't at all what that means. The level of regulation is pretty much an entirely different topic. Some may say they support "democratic capitalism" which is basically where the regulations are agreed upon in a democratic manner, which would require the elimination of money corrupting influences but as soon as you phrase it as such it gets labeled as socialism by others. All the labels get so muddied (intentionally so by people trying to influence your behavior) that they are mostly worthless.
The only political discussions that matter imo are ones that focus on specific policy. As soon as you start to abstract ideas to make them easier to understand you also make them easier to misunderstand.
They were ahead of their time. And no one has duplicated this sound
The wah distorted bass is amazing on this
Its the Passion . It is supercharged . The group means what they play, they not pulling punches
Glad you boppin to em
My thoughts on you branching out to other forms of media: I've heard the music. It's your reaction that I am watching for.
I'll 2nd this.
As for who gets paid what, it depends on the band. Bands normally make an agreement very early as possible. Some divide the money equally (some even credit the band as the writer regardless of who actually wrote it so the publishing rights are shared. In other bands, the main stonewriters (normally, but not always, the vocalist and the lead guitarist) take the lion's share. Chumbawamba, being anarchists, paid every member an equal wage and invested the rest in causes they support (which became a big issue when Tubthumping made millions and still makes them money).
Rob! You havent checked “NO SHELTER” yet?? In the
The top 5 rage tunes!-Cmon!!
Please do Down Rodeo, if you live in LA it will hit home
Great vid as always.
Please,for the love of God Rob,react to Down Rodeo.
if you ever end up doing like a whole album patreon thing you should do the whole renegades album, it will blow your mind
Listen to Zach's verse on Run the Jewels' "Close Your Eyes and Count To F***".
Zach is definitely the star of RATM, Tom revolutionized guitar in a big way, but that shit that’s making your head bop is drums and bass 100%!
Also, check out Zach on Run the Jewels track “JU$T”… he’s on a few of their tracks, but his verse on that one is fire, and he does the chorus.
Tom plays a delay petal in order to layer those extra guitar parts, along with about 25 other petals.
