I listened to Rage Against the Machine for years and finally got the chance to see their second coming of Audio Slave live in London Ontario in 05. My best friends and I had the concert of our lives that night. I have never felt the primal surge of collective energy before or since when they sang Killing in the Name of. Great to see you all recognized for your magic. Cheers and keep up the energy.
He's right. We are the best fans. We heard their message. We heed their message. WE. Embraced it. Lived it. Loved it. Disseminated it. They enlightened us with "message in our music" energy that had a kickass beat. We fought. We taught. We lived Rage Against The Machine. Thank you Zack, Brad, Tim, and Tom, for inspiring and entertaining us and setting fire to our spirit that burns to this day. That fire aspires to be a revolution.
RATM was my favorite band of my youth and inspired me to pay attention to politics as a teenager. Their 1999 concert at The Alamodome in San Antonio was the best concert of my life to this day.
Be careful that this isn't some conservative message with us being on our way with the new administration. Seriously. Tom, Zac, and everyone else in the band is absolutely not on your side if that is the case. Rage literally protested Republican Congress. The line that you use "F* you I wont do what you tell me" was about Republicans. And look at you now. Falling in line behind your new king. Hardly rebellious. Because he knows best, right? If this is who you are, Rage is absolutely not your friend. Listen to 4:45. Willing to stand up for our country and our planet that is more humane and just. Equality for ALL. Just because you like the song message doesn't change the fact that the original message was actually talking about you. So stop using it. Please. If I'm wrong I apologize, but I'm pretty sure you have no idea what Rage is actually about.
Tom Morello needs to be the President of the USA. Such wise words that come from the heart and not a piece of paper written by an employee. Full credit to you Tom for excepting this on behalf of the people
thank you tom morello !! gracias !!! Salvador allende... most americans dont even know what took place in chile and gil scot heron said it then... but american ignorance just keeps wining and people need to know the horrific crimes that the USA did in south america !
good for them and well deserved....but we need to see The Cult inducted. We need to see Supertramp inducted. We wanna see LaBelle inducted...we wanna see Sylvia Rhone inducted...we need to see Billy Paul and Big Maybelle inducted. And we need to see Janes Addiction put in there. Uh, to the induction committee of the Hall of Fame?...you guys STILL have a lot of work to do, where parity is regarded.
It helps that Tom is on the board of directors for the rock hall. How are they in ahead of Megadeth, The black crows and STP. I can keep going but I’ll Stop there. Love rage but it’s sad.
Straight bull sh-t. Thin Lizzy should be in the hall before any of these bands. Just on the strength of phil lynotts upbringing. A mixed kid in Ireland in the 50/60's. C'mon man!
Rage Against The Hypocracy. The rock hall is just record executives patting themselves on the back. So many genre founding bands not even recognized. Tom has lost his way.
No, lying about fraud, creating fake slates of electors, assembling a crowd on the day those electors are counted, then sending the crowd to disrupt the count and put pressure on elected officials to certify the fake electors is a coup attempt
I've never thought the "sell out" concept held much merit. If people like your stuff, that's success - take it. Revel in it. But him standing alone, one of four, says something indeed.
Ice T is in that diddy mess, and Tom .morello straight sold out his morals and stabbed his fans in the back with Harris. Its sad that Ice T is one of them.
Tom has contributed to our Museum again & again: exhibits, videos, induction speeches and more. An incredibly generous man.
RAtM is in a class of its own! Ice-T knows the truth! They will be remembered and revered for decades to come! One of a kind! GENIUSES
Thank God for Tom Morello and Rage Against The Machine. I've listened to their Songs So Many Times. WOoH!!! Bulls On Parade!
he is an atheist , don't waste your prayers.
So many times that you don't understand how hypocritical it is for Rage to have anything to do with the Rock Hall.

The absolute best show that I've ever been to.... RATM at the electric factory in Philly August 1996.
RATM was my favorite band of my youth and inspired me to pay attention to politics as a teenager. Their 1999 concert at The Alamodome in San Antonio was the best concert of my life to this day.

Wish they performed there
Well, that was awesome!
The message we all need to hear today.

Morello for President!
Yeah, let’s have a woke, self centered, ultra liberal, thumb as our president. Loser.
RATM. The best music to bash fash to 🤘🏻
You wish

No
👍👍 its about time
What a speech!
Congratulations gentleman
Now that's a speech
Damn. Thats one helluva speech.
Love him but disappointed that his only mention of his bandmates was to point out their disagreement.
He couldn't have done it alone... represent.
FREEEEEEDOOOMM…YEEAAAHHH!!!
Pacific rim main theme with Ramin is a real masterpiece
The Switch.... In all we plugged in ..in 1999.. google was still a baby at that time
Amazing !
Tom Morello should be inducted
as a solo artist just for one song:
'The Ghost of Tom Joad' by
Bruce Springsteen
Where is Timmy and Zach and Brad?
Did you listen to Tom speech at the beginning, maybe you will get it
thank you tom morello !! gracias !!! Salvador allende... most americans dont even know what took place in chile and gil scot heron said it then... but american ignorance just keeps wining and people need to know the horrific crimes that the USA did in south america !
He said "unexpected qrtrs"
SO WHY IS JUST TOM ON STAGE???

Stop there. Love rage but it’s sad.
To be fair RATM dropped first album before STP
The band is more than Tom where's the rest of the guys
✊🏻
TOM IS THE MACHINE NOW!!!!!
Not really though
2:21 He talks like Malcolm X. 😛
I remember a day when punks weren't sell outs
Did you know Tom is the only black man to go to harvard University?
Obama did
@oz1330 no, Tom was the first and only...he'll tell ya all about it.
♥️⚡️🦬🪶✊💫
I'm 1st
This guy…

I concur. Look how long it took them to get Rush in.
RATM 🤘🏻⚡
Free Palestine ✌🏻🇵🇸
Nice guys, but induction is premature there are so many bands from the past that deserve to be in there
they had to get this stooge inducted before he dies of VAIDS.
Where are all band members??? Money will change your mind.... Keep giving big speeches beaches.

Wait, I thought saying “fight” meant you’re guilty of inciting an insurrection.
No, lying about fraud, creating fake slates of electors, assembling a crowd on the day those electors are counted, then sending the crowd to disrupt the count and put pressure on elected officials to certify the fake electors is a coup attempt
Nah, but telling thousands of people to march on the capitol is though. Dumb fuck.
Sell out
I've never thought the "sell out" concept held much merit. If people like your stuff, that's success - take it. Revel in it.
But him standing alone, one of four, says something indeed.
👏👏🤝
Ice T is in that diddy mess, and Tom .morello straight sold out his morals and stabbed his fans in the back with Harris. Its sad that Ice T is one of them.
Was he campaining for donald trump maga, he's good, oh this is obious the backgound is fire red for republican.!😆😆😆
Never have I admired someone’s playing so much yet dred hearing his political rhetoric all the time. Total snooze fest
So don't watch the fuckin video
Trump 2024 🇺🇲

Wish he mentioned the other three that made the band so special and powerful
he did
