Public toilets are just communist propaganda. The Cubans, Soviets, Marxists, and Socialists of all kinds shit in the alley for someone else to step in. 🤣
@Subprime Porcupine The only way to attain a state of plenty is through an economic system that rewards hard work. Currently, capitalism offers more individual freedoms. Liberals create conditions where rights are reduced and bureaucracy is the only rhetorical portal for conservatives due to intersectionality cultists actively discriminating against anyone who is straight white male and Christian. Then there's the question of economics..... 80% of all American money ever printed to date has been created since Biden got in office. Meanwhile other world powers are grabbing at all the prosperity from American economic dominance. That's gonna make you poor son. Biden is a globalist, he has power and can influence and pad anything financially negative that comes his way. He does not have your best interest in any thought. He doesn't even do anything good for minorities, he's on record saying some pretty nasty stuff. Are the other guys any better? Not much, but at least they promise to let you alone and actually stand for a unified stronger America.

@projektkobra2247 Ummmmm, yeah, I agree. I am an old lady. I brought this album back when it first came out. I believed in it's message then as I do now. My point was it aged well. The point that the USA was the evil empire was never hidden. I might be old but not so old that my faculties are gone. I am also an old lady that listens to all sorts of music. Oh well, I wish you well regardless of your poor attitude but thinking America is doing wrong is not a new idea. Being a rebellious progressive is by no means owned by the young, dear.

Having lived in both places, and knowing all I know now...I know the people are generally good..as they are in most, if not all countries...Im sure this band (who CAN rock..for commies), used to want America to not be hypocritical and to stand up for the principles it was laid out as...

Saw them at Pinkpop Festival in the Netherlands many years ago - some 35000 people jumping up and down yelling 'F*CK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!!" 😁. Seismic activity was registered during their show, no kidding 🪨🤘.
One of my favorite things about this band is how they stay true to the one guitar part. When Morello plays his unique solos, there is no rhythm guitar, just bass and drums. Kings X is one of my favorite bands, and they would do the same. In fact, when Morello, Cumerford, and Wilkes formed Audioslave with Chris Cornell, they had Cornell put down his guitar and just sing. That's oldschool.
Generally, Rage do a lot of overdubs. Listen to the beginning of Wake up - there's a a guitar riff and then some fast picking overdubbed as well. There are a lot of those moments which in a way take away from the live versions because they miss that one part.
@Jeremiah Pheasant No, because fascist cops continue to murder the innocent and are now brutally assaulting peaceful protestors all across the nation. There is literally soooooo much footage out there of the police violently assaulting peaceful protesters.
You can spend your hole life trying to create the 'killer riff' of your dreams and will forever be haunted by the fact all Tom Morello needed was an OCTAVE.
Alan Dove I always thought the same. this song was just a big demonstration of how powerful and groovy they are with nothing more than an octave and one chord on wahwah!!
The main riff of this song was taken from Immigration Song from Led Zepellin. Morello changed the rhythm. However, Immigration Song was stolen from a black southern guitarist. Page would go to Southern bars and steal riffs from black guitarists.
Adam Smith he didn’t go to southern bars to steal riffs from black guitarist, listened to blues records like everyone else and stole licks and riffs and ideas from there just like everybody else. Stealing riffs isn’t a new thing that Page invented.
I have been searching for this song for the last 3 hours with my only search item being “ that song that goes ba dum,ba-ba dum, ba-ba dum”. This is a great moment for me.
Yeah i definitely know that feeling. Tried to find damien Marley's "welcome to jamrock" without knowing english, tried to mumble what i understood into youtube
Right?! And clearly all these maga in the comments don’t understand this song is against them. Since it’s obvious hat they are okay with military being out on the citizens when trying to protest. It’s pathetic if you ask me
“They don’t gotta burn the books they just remove ‘em While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells” Seriously it’s incredible how it’s more relevant now than ever, man just spits the truth
I wouldn’t call any of those bands hard mabey at the exception for some of nirvanas songs on bleach, and some really early RHCP and none of them are punk with the exception of some of green days epvery early stuff I’m talking 1039 slapped out happy hours, and at that it’s not really that hard it ps still pop punk
Jewish Rebel16 It’s on their official Instagram, and a dude posted a video about their reunion. Just look up “Rage against the machine reunion” and you’ll find it
@@aquabebop-pz2zp Okay. There’s a reason why I listen to these songs. I actually understand the lyrics, and here it’s talking about America using the military against those who are protesting. And Trump says he wants to get “rid of the enemy from within” meaning anyone that has an opposing opinion to him. You can’t be for Trump and listen to political punk music. So gtfo here and go listen to YMCA
Everyone is talking about fighting and music, RATM IS ABOUT OUR FREEDOM.We need to figure out how to destroy the machine that is geared against all of us, not be compartmentalised by hate race or nationality.
This song applies to the situation we are in right now. We have to recite a poem to the class in school tomorrow. Im gonna recite this song wish me luck.
One of our classmates who has since passed, in 96 at our end of the year 8th grade finishing middle school pool party played and sang this 2 times that day. He absolutely slayed it in front of everybody there. Seems like it was yesterday, I can still here the opening line "Go with it Now"!!! To this day every time I hear this song or think about him that moment in time replays back. What a memory and what a song! Class of 2000, RIP MW.
Bro its the first time i am listening to this song(i have listened some songs from RATM before) and the moment i reached the part where you talk about the opening line as i was reading it i heard it in the song,mad vibes.
I was only 6 years old when this song came out........litterally had no clue what it meant till i was 16....Noe more than ever RATM hits home.......talk about being DECADES ahead of your time...we need RAGE more than ever
My buddy that sings for look what I did did that once in Ashland City TN at a wierd outdoor show then cut himself and bled down his chest like a stuck pig, girls were horrified by his appearance after the show was hilarious.
omg yes seriously RAGE please putting the call out say something or release something we are way to close to facism closer than ever before and it's scary.
@RadioSilence86 Unlike those totalitarian, autocratic, technological elite run blue states, Florida is a true free state of Freedom! Mask up and be safe out there!
The best part of this song is the seamless transition from the main riff to the opening riff at 3:28. Takes me back to me and my other 11 year old homies rocking to this jam
Thats what is sad...they were telling it how it was 20 years ago and they get back together and people would rather have travis scott headline at a festival than these guys??? WAKE UP!!!
I remember in 2006, senior year of high school, me and 5 buddies were absolutely blasting this in my beat up, 1989 Chrysler New Yorker. As we pulled up to a park, to back up a friend who was supposed to fight some bully... Well he ended up bringing 5-6 friends himself and it was an all out brawl. I left my car running and this song playing. Greatest fight of my life

The first rage against the machine concert i ever attended..the crowd was so electric it looked like pulsating ants ...just waves of ants as far as i could see...hands down one of my favorite shows..
I feel this group is for political activists but not for the commie socialist though... Its for We the People who want ultimate freedom...who want the govt out of our way...And dont want FASCISM... u kno, the merger of govt and corporations... The people of this country all feel the same, its just some think its other reasons when in fact its an out of control govt who is shitting all over We The People!
reminds me of the guys who turned out in Nevada to keep the govt from taking cattle cuz he hadn't payed taxes in 20yrs... he said he didn't believe in the US govt but hes on a horse with a flag in his rt hand!
ryon harrison actually he wasnt on a horse... and he never held a flag.. An if u kno ur history ur would kno that the federal govt is ONLY suppose to protect and defend the constitution... Not get in healthcare...not education, or anything else.. Just because u stick ur tail between ur legs when u see government doesn't mean everyone is suppose to... Btw, remember the federal government is only suppose to protect and defend the constitution ONLY...
Anthony La Manna You guys really don't understand RATM or their lyrics if you think that. I mean the government is here to make sure we don't lose control but even that is failing because of the right wing in congress. They are so regressive that it is turning the US into shit. Why? Because they stick a bible in everything and they got millionaires/billionaires (Koch Brothers) paying their bills.

Imagine this song so loud that it’s literally in your bones... i was front row in a tiny club called the Troubadour, late 90’s. This was the first song they played and the mosh pit went nuts.
It's ironic in a sense that something is censored to make it more accessible. Usually censorship works the other way around. Other than that, I really don't see the irony. One might argue the name of the band is ironic. But then again, those people would be taking the name in literal terms. Which is a silly thing to be doing.
@@nope110 It's about the brute force, and destruction used by authoritarians to suppress people. And how someone has had enough. Yeah, you can assume that censorship is a big part of authoritarianism. But to say this song is about free speech is akin to saying the other RATM song Testify is about courts. Regardless. Even if we assume this song is about free speech. The uploader chose to censor the song on their own volition so as not to get demonetized.The uploader had a choice. And they chose revenue stream.
I remember getting my hands on evil empire and listening with my Walkman on the school bus. It’s been over 25 years and still one of my favorite records.
@Hunter Vonnegut just listened to a handful of songs and those guys don't sound ANYTHING like Rage. They sound more like the Violent Femmes, and a terrible version of them. Stop trolling.

+aidhen Usares then know need to talk shit. ...yur parents raised you right. keep rocking on my friend. O and im sorry your generation sucks ass. but you and yur boys keep it alive
I was 19, still listen to them now.
me too I am 39 now i STILL PLAY it ANY time I LIKE...
“They don’t gotta burn the books they just remove ‘em”.. More relevant now than ever
I was thinking that same thing while listening just now. There are people who talk big about freedom, then turn around and try to supress the books that they don't agree with.
Kind of like how social media removes your posts when you have the wrong opinions
Catcher in the rye gets compared to Harry Potter 😆😆😆
"What we don't know keeps the contracts in line from moving"
Supress them from what, goverment schools? The same govs they rage against against. The books are still out there bro
Im 44 years old and this song just covered me in goosepimples and sent me back to being a kid just macking out at home by myself. RATM will always be Gods
Same here …. Goosebumps. Sang this song word for word a few months ago
You were making out with yourself? Didn't mack mean that?
Quit it now
22 and I was in the car with my dad. Has new meaning in today's America, for me anyway
There is only one god and his prophet, Allah
Watching the day after the US election...Evil Empire was a very astute album.
"Rage On Behalf Of The Machine"....YOURE not the Rebels...youre the Empire...loser.
@projektkobra2247 Ummmmm, yeah, I agree. I am an old lady. I brought this album back when it first came out. I believed in it's message then as I do now. My point was it aged well. The point that the USA was the evil empire was never hidden. I might be old but not so old that my faculties are gone. I am also an old lady that listens to all sorts of music. Oh well, I wish you well regardless of your poor attitude but thinking America is doing wrong is not a new idea. Being a rebellious progressive is by no means owned by the young, dear. Now take a hard candy from my purse and get your pre-surgery spine back in that mosh pit kiddo.

@@rebeccagibson9644 -Oh Im sorry, Mom..usually deluded commies have a different KIND of blue-hair.
I apologize, I assumed you were making a comment about Mr Trump winning the election and the popular vote since Americans are fed up with just the things this band used to be against.
Ive forgotten more history than most, and even in Canada where I grew up, we were taught that the US were always "The Good Guys"..much like how Canadians are always "polite"...
Having lived in both places, and knowing all I know now...I know the people are generally good..as they are in most, if not all countries...Im sure this band (who CAN rock..for commies), used to want America to not be hypocritical and to stand up for the principles it was laid out as...
MAGA is the only movement that is trying to make that a reality...although Im nobody's acolyte...In the end we all want the same thing...
Peace, and prosperity for America first.

You have no idea how transcendent this song is live. When I saw them, you could feel the whole stadium quaking as everyone was jumping. Pure insanity
Couldn't agree more! Saw them at the Forum in Los Angeles and they nearly blew the roof of that joint! Best live performance I've seen to date.
like total insanity, only rave parties later on gave me the same feeling, today music has lost that revolutionary edge ... we got to bring this shit back!
Saw them at Pinkpop Festival in the Netherlands many years ago - some 35000 people jumping up and down yelling 'F*CK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!!" 😁. Seismic activity was registered during their show, no kidding 🪨🤘.
I've seen them perhaps five times. The audience goes INSANE.

Guitar lord....
Lol
i thought he said quit it now
Lmao. As a guitarist that's the best comment ever bro. Perfect description. Made me laugh hard lol
Kkkk
One of my favorite things about this band is how they stay true to the one guitar part. When Morello plays his unique solos, there is no rhythm guitar, just bass and drums. Kings X is one of my favorite bands, and they would do the same. In fact, when Morello, Cumerford, and Wilkes formed Audioslave with Chris Cornell, they had Cornell put down his guitar and just sing. That's oldschool.
Hell yeah that's fucking sick brother
I know it was just a typo, but "Cumerford" made me chuckle.
@@TotsNater Isn't it Commerford?
Generally, Rage do a lot of overdubs. Listen to the beginning of Wake up - there's a a guitar riff and then some fast picking overdubbed as well. There are a lot of those moments which in a way take away from the live versions because they miss that one part.

It was a psychic reading the whole time
It’s been relevant lol what? TDS?
@PatternRecognitionNotRacism this guy is one of those rallying round the family with a pocket full of shells.
@@ItCameFromTheSkyBeLo Yep, their name being brutally racist also confirms that
This song is more relevant than ever now.
People have been saying this since it came out hahah but seriously though yeah
It's always been relevant, but now the message is permeating the masses.
@Jeremiah Pheasant No, because fascist cops continue to murder the innocent and are now brutally assaulting peaceful protestors all across the nation. There is literally soooooo much footage out there of the police violently assaulting peaceful protesters.
Mate this is going to be relevant as long as humanity is
The most relevant song with all the protest going on is "Wake up" ! And killing in the name of.
You can spend your hole life trying to create the 'killer riff' of your dreams and will forever be haunted by the fact all Tom Morello needed was an OCTAVE.
Alan Dove I always thought the same. this song was just a big demonstration of how powerful and groovy they are with nothing more than an octave and one chord on wahwah!!
I don't know octave. I get it
The main riff of this song was taken from Immigration Song from Led Zepellin. Morello changed the rhythm. However, Immigration Song was stolen from a black southern guitarist. Page would go to Southern bars and steal riffs from black guitarists.
As if the self titled album wasn't fucking good enough, they followed it up with this.
We had some unreal music in the 90s.
Adam Smith he didn’t go to southern bars to steal riffs from black guitarist, listened to blues records like everyone else and stole licks and riffs and ideas from there just like everybody else. Stealing riffs isn’t a new thing that Page invented.
I have been searching for this song for the last 3 hours with my only search item being “ that song that goes ba dum,ba-ba dum, ba-ba dum”. This is a great moment for me.
Welcome, and may the ba-ba dum never again leave you! ^___^

He absolutely slayed it in front of everybody there. Seems like it was yesterday, I can still here the opening line "Go with it Now"!!! To this day every time I hear this song or think about him that moment in time replays back. What a memory and what a song! Class of 2000, RIP MW.
Man my school and the town over have lost a abnormally high amount of people in the c/o 2000
Bro its the first time i am listening to this song(i have listened some songs from RATM before) and the moment i reached the part where you talk about the opening line as i was reading it i heard it in the song,mad vibes.
i was class of 98 from los angeles saw them in summer of 96 tour GO WITH IT NOW{
Now you 40 and life's way different. I'm scared for my child. But he'll yea class of 2000 keeps it movin
What an awesome memory you have of your friend he must’ve been a cool guy what a loss for the world to loose him
I was only 6 years old when this song came out........litterally had no clue what it meant till i was 16....Noe more than ever RATM hits home.......talk about being DECADES ahead of your time...we need RAGE more than ever
yassssss agree with this statement, resonate with it actually!
The bass lick @2:31, (right before the solo comes in) is straight up the most elegant, swagger, stylish and laid-back thing I e ever heard
When the bass has it's turn to shine in this one it really does have a confident swagger.

It's ironic in a sense that something is censored to make it more accessible. Usually censorship works the other way around. Other than that, I really don't see the irony. One might argue the name of the band is ironic. But then again, those people would be taking the name in literal terms. Which is a silly thing to be doing.

@@nope110 It's about the brute force, and destruction used by authoritarians to suppress people. And how someone has had enough.

Regardless. Even if we assume this song is about free speech. The uploader chose to censor the song on their own volition so as not to get demonetized.The uploader had a choice. And they chose revenue stream.
