And the powers that be hit us back hard with police militarization and far right ideology hitting politics. Get ready, as a history major i give it less than 15 years.
The lyrics were inspired by the police brutality suffered by Rodney King and the subsequent 1992 Los Angeles riots. The refrain "some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses".
Their messages are probably more relevant today than they were back then. Also, who remembers those crowds with NO SMARTPHONES? Those were the days, we were so lucky!
These guys made a naive 17 year old white boy from California learn about the racist history of policing in the United States. They influenced and educated an entire generation.
Same, but I was like 13 in Tennessee. I dove into the lyrics and then the history books. They played a huge part in turning me into an An-Com. 30+ years later, and despite the place in which I live, I haven't compromised an inch.
One of the most influential and powerful bands of our time...And Im almost 60. Message is always relavent sadly. Could run a country with the energy at their concerts. Thanx so much, take care, Peace
As an American, even with all that our country is going through I’m still proud to be from the U.S., but the only thing that truly scares me is how many Americans are afraid to face the reality of our past and in some respects our present. There are people in our nation hard at work trying to rewrite and candy coat past and present issues in our nation. Rage Against The Machine gave people a much needed hard ass slap of truth up side the head.
Hi guys,greetings from Seychelles,”bulls on parade “is definitely the next song. Zach della Rocca words are still relevant 30yrs later. Unique style guitarist Tom morello.
How pleasant it is to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of those years when people didn’t faint from the expression “fuck you” and didn’t censor the word “ass”, we need to bring back the good old ultra-violence!
This was the UK Xmas number 1 in 2012 thanks to an Internet petition to stop that year's Pop Idol winner getting to the top spot, like they had for about 4 years running. Funnily enough, it never gets played when radio stations have a run down of Xmas number ones. Wonder why?!😊
Was lucky enough to see them at the Download Festival along with 111,000 other fans, after they had topped the British Singles Chart at Xmas in 2009, after a social media campaign to keep Simon Cowell's X Factor winner off the No 1 spot. They were still amazing live, despite it being 18 years on from their debut album. The atmosphere for their Headlining set was absolutely electric. I was there with my mum & Dad along with several family friends and we loved every minute of their show. The ground was shaking as 111,000 people jumped in n unison and screamed the lyrics out word for word. It was a real gift to be there and to share that experience of musical joy, which contained as relevant a social message then, as the day the songs were originally written. The really sad thing is that the messages contained within the RATM songs are more needed and relevant today, a further 13 years later. We need bands like RATM to spread the message that societal change is needed and to fight against corporate greed and those who abuse their power and authority. Hoping RATM and others will continue to fight until we achieve the changes that will make society better and fairer for everyone.
In every couple of months i swipe the YT to see new reactions to RATM songs... I love it when i see people understand... and TRULY understand their meaning and their rage. I think you understood it but somehow didn't get enraged. How? how can you comprehend and not get angry? Anyways... I am glad you heard them. They are awesome, political and painfully true.
They made the anarchist philosophy more important than ever. We need to fight all form of oppression if we want to be free. And that means we the people, needs to be in charge and no one else. Abolish state & capital oppression that has its roots in slavery and leads to institutional racism & sexism.
I was 20 when this song came out. I loved jumping in a mosh pit. 51 now, but I'd still think about jumping in again if I ever come across one. So much fun. You can get injured pretty easy though.
Unfortunately this is my generation x who actually never understood the lyrics. RATM was calling for a revolution speaking truths while neo liberal policies pushed capitalism in over drive while the american middle class was hollowed out and now at the point of collapse. Hope the world is paying attention.
Legendary!!!!!!! Seriously very important!!! The crooked government, the crooked cops! Those who have vs those who don’t…. And on and on and on!!! This during the LA RIOTS!!!
Interesting ... REN and RATM are covering similar themes in their lyrics and with the passion behind the message. Bob Dylan did the same in the mid 60's . He spoke truth , but very directly. Where some artists use artistic / poetic modes to carry the message in a subtle way, all the above artists speak directly, clearly and with passion. The message carries through to the listener .
@@RNDReacts They used to pretend to rail against the establishment . During the covidBs , they didn't allow anyone in unless they were vaxxed and masked up . Even ranted on non vaxxers . They Raged against Freedom .
I have no idea what you take a drink from at 7:51, but where I live, cartons like that is how the grocery store sells beef broth. ...so I'm just going to assume you are taking beef broth straight to the dome.
Subscribed. Good reaction, Tom Morello, the guitarist did a video with BABYMETAL this summer! I like your channel. May I suggest a rection to BABYMETAL. Their music has a positive and uplifting message. They have a fun and awesome performance: BABYMETAL - PA PA YA!! (feat. F.HERO) (OFFICIAL) Or: MAYA【Live Blu-ray/DVD「BABYMETAL BEGINS - THE OTHER ONE -」"BLACK NIGHT"】 🖖 ❤
@@RNDReacts sorry, maybe I'm not in the majority....I'm not sure. I've seen them live, and am planning to see them again. They're amazing live!! But the sound quality is absolutely horrible in these videos from the 90s. My suggestion.....and I've seen many other people say the same thing.....go with lyric videos for RATM or Tool. Their message is far too important to miss!
@@thomasfosterjr.5247 Awesome! I can imagine it would be insane to see these guys in person! And we appreciate the suggestions! Will definitely check out some of the lyric videos and studio recordings, we appreciate the feedback Thomas, thanks for tuning in
@@RNDReacts also, this seems to be where people start with RATM....but it's not even CLOSE to their best song!! I hope you check out more. They have a fantastic collection!! "Know Your Enemy" is my personal favorite. Maynard from Tool has a cameo in that song. "Bulls on Parade" and "Down Rodeo" (not the cowboy rodeo, but California's Rodeo Drive) are probably their 2 most popular songs. But I think a lot of people miss their only cover song. They did "How I Can Just Kill A Man" from Cypress Hill....and I think they knocked it out the park!!! Way better than the original!! Anyway, hope to see more RATM soon.
Por que no le dices a tu amiga de al lado que deje fluir la musica y no corte a cada rato para comentar cosas sin sentido...tu estas muy bien compadre...
Thanks for the recommendation! We've got an XG reaction dropping tomorrow and will have some more over the weekend and next week :) thanks for tuning in!
This is the music of revolution. This band led a whole generation to take their power back.
I wish :(
They're still trying
And the powers that be hit us back hard with police militarization and far right ideology hitting politics. Get ready, as a history major i give it less than 15 years.
@@diddiefree Yeah to bring the power to Globalist elites . They ARE the Machine . Go get your Booster or Zach will Rage against you .

we haven't taken it back yet, but hopefully we're on the way.

@@lovelyleesa1Nah, not forgotten. They’ve embraced it. As long as it benefits them they couldn’t care less about anyone else.

Guys always a pleasure to share fantastic music with you. Saw these at Glastonbury one of my favourites. Just RAHHHHH
Hi guys,greetings from Seychelles,”bulls on parade “is definitely the next song. Zach della Rocca words are still relevant 30yrs later. Unique style guitarist Tom morello.
Y'all have one of the best flags!
Loved the reaction and loving the comments section. Here to feel connected with the fans. RATM are singular.
How pleasant it is to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of those years when people didn’t faint from the expression “fuck you” and didn’t censor the word “ass”, we need to bring back the good old ultra-violence!
Sometimes when they would play this live Zack would say “those who burn crosses are the same WHO HOLD OFFICE”
The fact that she says "yeah it's too much" to Zach's passion kind of makes De la Roche's point. 'You're under control'
This was the UK Xmas number 1 in 2012 thanks to an Internet petition to stop that year's Pop Idol winner getting to the top spot, like they had for about 4 years running. Funnily enough, it never gets played when radio stations have a run down of Xmas number ones. Wonder why?!😊
This was greatly influenced by violence committed by the LAPD during the Rodney King incident.
The below suggestion are spot on. Do a lyric video with them to see how powerful their message remains today.
"Bulls on parade" "Wake Up" 'People of the Sun" "Guerilla Radio" are definitely a few u need to react to!
Omfg PLEASE do more Rage!! Y’all’s reaction was immaculate!!!
Great reaction
Give Know Your Enemy a go, incredible song by rage
I've had it on repeat for like 3 weeks lmao
Rage Against the Machine / Know Your Enemy / Down Rodeo' / Bullet in the Head / People of the Sun.... And many many more
Powerful lyrics. Musicianship extraordinaire. Unrelenting voice for the powerless.

The singer Zack also has features on some rap albums. Ju$t by Run The Jewels might be a good one to react to.
love that #RATM #RTJ
The people in the hoods control the ropes that move us…”A Master makes you kneel…a Leader helps you stand.’ Know the Difference…
Zack drops real knowledge!✊🏼
RATM-“Testify”live Finsbury Park
Rage against the machine listen to Testify…If u haven’t already love ur content!
These guys were way ahead of their time. Morello is a virtuoso on the guitar. And they're still telling the truth to this day.

Y'all are so subdued! Contagious smiles, though!
Something vaguely ironic about the crowd, all in unison, shouting, "Now you do what they told ya."

Thank you every time I say something they tell me i'm inappropriate but thank you I feel the same way
Zach’s polo the lowkey MVP.
This ish is phafuckingnominal.
Haha they literally have a track called Wake Up and it's awesome
Crowds couldn't recreate this moment. They either have their phones in their hands or their pockets
Legendary!!!!!!! Seriously very important!!! The crooked government, the crooked cops! Those who have vs those who don’t…. And on and on and on!!! This during the LA RIOTS!!!
Just a quiet, peaceful dance
When my BF bought this album as a teenager in the 90s his mom said "Rage Against the Machine? What? Like the dishwasher?" 😂
An anthem from the 90's. Album was huge here in the North of Ireland. We went crazy at parties listening to this tune, lots of bands covered it.

I was at this show. Great times.
Disorder ,by Slayer and Ice T on The Judgement night soundtrack 1993 is another great song about L.A riots😮
Check out uk number Christmas 1 on 20 December 2009. Rage on forever people. Love and respect to you all
They are One with the Machine they complained about . They ARE the Machine !
Oh do they not carry the same energy today as they did back when they made these songs??
@@RNDReacts They used to pretend to rail against the establishment . During the covidBs , they didn't allow anyone in unless they were vaxxed and masked up . Even ranted on non vaxxers .
They Raged against Freedom .
@@RNDReacts Did you just delete my reply ?
6:55 Funny you should say that. They have a song called 'Wake Up'
Awesome live!!!Now check ACDC thunderstruck live in river plate to get blown away!!!
Crowd surfing was it. 😂
they were HUGE in the 90s and very uncomfortable to the stablishmen too😁
Enjoyed that reaction
1992… I remember this.. RATM..
I wanna be in that audience
You guys just pause the video waayyy too many times,,,
Their concern for racial justice helped inspire many white kids back at that time of oppression under the Clinton administration.
My generation can't listen to this song with a smile. We grit our teeth.
You’ve never been crowded, surfed to the front so you can go use the bathroom
If you want more Rage against the machine some good tracks are Down Rodeo, know your enemy, Renegades of funk. Such a great band
Pinkpop, The Netherlands!
Favourite all time rebellious choon 😎🫠
Don't you guys know about this song vs. Simon Cowell story ??? ... o m g
Never heard? This is the RATM hymn... and no SPZ (Smart Phone Zombies) yet, so crowd diving was possible...
BULLS ON PARADE! You’re welcome 😉
Classic 👍👍
Guys! The audio mix! Turning up the volume to hear the music shouldn't entail getting my ears blown out by the commentary! Ouch!
I have no idea what you take a drink from at 7:51, but where I live, cartons like that is how the grocery store sells beef broth.
...so I'm just going to assume you are taking beef broth straight to the dome.
Interrupted the flow didn’t let the sections build no feel for the music
Check out rage against the machine settle for nothing
If you like this genre of music then I suggest y'all check out the bands Downset and EDL (Every Day Life)
Subscribed. Good reaction, Tom Morello, the guitarist did a video with BABYMETAL this summer! I like your channel. May I suggest a rection to BABYMETAL. Their music has a positive and uplifting message. They have a fun and awesome performance:

Jesus guys play the fucking song
Maybe.
You do get it after all
good old times without handys...
Did you do Bulls on Parade? 🤔
Why are all the reaction channels afraid to speak about police brutality and racism? Do they fear that their channel might get censored or shut down?
Because they are simply too young to know! I know.
This performance always makes me cry and laugh in equal measure.
Not to go off on a tangent but is Tim wearing a shirt 😮
We call it a classic.
Too many pauses.
Who i am ( restrung performance video) alan walker/ putri ariani/ peder alias
It's about police brutality
Please reaction cover song killing in the name from band voice of baceprot( vob) from indonesia
Personally I think it's time for the Rage Against the Machine generation to make their voice heard and say no more towards this crap
She didn't get it and he wanted her too so badly...
Like everyone else reacting to this song, completely missing the point. Just talk about the actual meaning, even if it is difficult.
Do mic check with lyrics rage
he talking about cops and the kkk the someones that burn crosses
Para mi también es la guerra del imperio
Sorry to go on but listen to prophets of rage with Frank Carter coz very sad that rage split
Rodney king
La x marca el lugar
this was bad.. who influein VOB so hard....
That has to be the worst song that RATM wrote as a band....you should check out their other stuff
Its so sad, both are so ignorant

That’s an easy way to ignore the message.
you have summoned the RATM army.
Y’all have to do fistful of steel too from this set at pink pop!!

Too much stopping of the video.
Annoying.

You'd get more views if you spoke over the video instead of constantly stopping the flow. Just an observation..
American racism is not a sticky subject, y’all can give your opinion because Rage sure does haha down with the racist American government 🤘
