+xyko74 Yea Zack and Tom were smart motherfuckers and if you learn who they are as in who all the members of the band's families are going back a generation or two or even three it's almost unreal how politically and socially connected these guys are to just be four guys from some suburban wasteland in LA or Chicago or whatever.
Happy to see that ‘Rage against the machine’ (one of my favorite bands of all time) is fighting against the injustices done towards my great uncle Leonard Peltier and all Ojibwa people.
Aah. The good old Hoover days. That beautiful legacy of the Nixon Administration: Federal Bureau of Independence (taking that is). Yep. Just look at the track record up to that point. Great history of gunning suspects down without trials. Other than those of public opinion. Even then. Cold War. Enjoying the oligarchy are we?
@@moosegurl08 can you imagine if they did the same today, against the authoritarian left and democrats? The MSM and big tech would censor them, the left would attempt to delete them from the earth. Dox their families, tell banks not to do business with them, attempt to get them dropped from record companies, declare their art as dangerous misinformation, justify persecuting them by their race and gender etc. We could use artists like RATM in the modern era, not the greedy narcissistic manufactured performers shilling for the establishment like we do today. Artists are telling you to vote for mainstream political personalities? What larger red flag could you need? No thanks, I’ll stick to my anti-establishment RATM!!
@@toddmcintosh2685 It's hilarious how right wingers listen to radical left wing bands and think that these bands agree with their right wing ideologies. Hell no, Rage Against the Machine is against greedy right wing politics that only benefit the rich. What do you think the machine is that they're raging against? It's capitalism. The bands name "Rage Against the Machine" comes from a speech Karl Marx made. In this speech Karl Marx asked the people to rage against the machine. All great bands throughout history have always been left leaning, because if you want positive change it's not gonna happen by licking the boots of rich people. USA has only two parties that are both more or less right leaning. There is no real left in US politics. That's how right wing USA is and right wingers are fighting to maintain the status quo. Bernie Sanders is one of the only people in US politics who has tried to make real positive change. But even he's not nearly as left leaning as RATM.
@@KenShackler Personally I like to believe that music can mean whatever the individual listener thinks it means or wants it to mean to them. For example, Rage Against The Machine plays in my head as the soundtrack to some not too distant future dystopian society. I don't care what band members from any of the bands I like actually believe. Especially politically.
The most healing, cathartic music ever on planet earth. As a woman who feels a block to anger, watching Zach de la Rocha jump and unleash that fury makes my heart soar. Has righteous rage ever been so beautiully captured? A beautiful way for us to safely move through this emotion in ourselves.
And this is why i consider the debut album of RATM as the angriest debut album ever released bar none. KoRn’s debut album comes at a close second, which is ironic because both Zack and Jon had dreads and both bands signed onto Epic Records respectively.
@@K.J.S.est1994 yes, you described my experience perfectly which is why i listen to this band all the time as i feel the terror of brutality continuing the genocide
Materialism is an illusion, and if you measure yourself with fiat dollars then you are selling yourself short, even if you have all the dollars in the world. Good luck with that zombie mindset.
A great frontman....and in my opinion Tom Morello is one of the top 20 guitarists ever...he does things with a guitar that nobody else has done...love it or hate it, hes definatly a pioneer of using the feedback of the amp to his absolute advantage...amazing
The older I get and the more radical I become, the more I truly appreciate Rage Against The Machine and what they stand for. That first album is prophetic, groundbreaking, and eye-opening. Every song and every song title is as relevant today as it was 27 years ago, and will continue to be relevant far into the future.
30 years I was never a RATM fan. But my little brother was. He left this world a few years ago, and I'm thankful to be able to listen to them now because It helps me feel close to him. I know it's not crying music, but these guys get me every time now. Miss you, Tanner.
I was listening to this today, and realized that not everyone of my generation listened to RATM. They should have. Now, I am pissed. “Anger is a gift…” this should be the liberal call to arms. We have always taken the high road. But fukit, I am tired of being the quiet one in the corner. Just because I have empathy, does not make me weak.
+TrailBehindTheRest Me too. Let me rephrase. They had a cause they believed was righreous and they probably had no desire to send traitors off to the Gulag Archipelago.
Before Snowden; before Manning; before Assange, there was Leonard Peltier; there was Mumia Abu Jamal. These good men have been persecuted to the full extent of Amerikan Injustice. Never forget. Props to Rage for shining a light.
From a very young age, I have taught my daughter about the injustices done to the Native American people, and how the true history of America is not taught in her history class. We have open and honest discussions about racism and what we can do to dispel the myth of white supremacy. Rage Against the Machine’s music and lyrics have been a powerful tool in our conversations about injustice and resistance. Thank you RATM
A lot more is taught in schools than in the past... mostly in Jr High and High School. We now teach about boarding schools, the Dakota, Sand Creek, and Wounded Knee Massacres, the Reservation System, broken and upheld treaties, and more. At least in the states I live in a do.
This song strips the gaslighting residue from your body. I'm 25 and I have 25 years of late stage capitalism trying to tell me things are normal and empathy is weakness under my belt and you can learn and strip it away manually all you want but music has the power to take that process to another level. And I have a special place in my heart for the power of words, but music is the holistic human experience and one song even without lyrics can often say 1000 words better than 1000 words.
It's not "late stage capitalism." We haven't had capitalism in the USA in well over a century. What we have here is crony capitalism. That's a WAY different thing, despite the similar name.
@dudleybarker2273 omg thanks 🥺 (Also I feel the need to say I'm a sister lol gotta give credit where credit is due, it's just my duty as a sister u know XD)
@imlostatseadontbotherme2060 I'm a woman so x'D 💀 I'm also proud to talk like this in such a stiff, sexist world. I'm just honest. Let's not police men talking the way I did, it's boring and limiting and makes you stagnant.

How Zach’s voice cracks on the first “freedom” scream makes that part seem extra powerful. The breakdown to this song is the best RATM moment in my opinion.
I’d say their best moment was completely crashing the VMA’s and Brad Wilk literally climbing the walls and getting arrested. It was too much for MTV and RATM showed just what a bunch of phony shills the whole industry was… right after they scooped 5 million in cash from Sony before even recording a song. Brilliantly hilarious and tremendous guys. I’ll always love them all.
Love em, or hate em, this band played a huge part in saving real rock. I saw MTV's Premier of this video, and it blew my mind. We need another band like this to wake up the current rock scene.
Listen to Disturbed's newest CD. People are still making music to try and wake us up, but we're still not listening. A councious awakening is happening. Slowly but surely bands like this are chipping away and finally getting through to people after years and years of battling the system of suppression through opposition.
Respect RATM. I have been to Pine Ridge many times. The poverty is unreal. I've seen things that I can't unsee. The Lakota people are suffering on their own land. RED POWER
Anger is a. Gift if used constructively and although some time has passed the lyrics still stand . what better time than now . the day we don't speak up is the day we die . June 2020 ratm are timeless because of their beliefs and disbelief
When he screams Freedom, and yeah right, it tears right through me....I literally feel a bit shaken after listening to this song, no matter how many times I listen..
@@pingapalcomunismo8232 well I did and there is NO difference between people,who travesty the idea of communism and cooperated capitalists. But don t blame Zack or anyone else, who critizises the latter for that!
2020 is exactly what they been raging about all these years....The Truth... the futhamukkin "Man" always and forever keeping the truth from us... this "plandemic"? probably a distraction for something else in the works...
@@penelopeowston9699 your bang on yes but what I'm saying is they've sold out or something, to refuse fans who aren't vaccinated in their upcoming dates..
Rage has its place, its where you start. we grow from rage into indignation, from indignation to unity, from unity to equanimity. it all starts with being enraged by injustice and the restriction of freedoms.
I become more enraged as I've grown older. I remember when they first hit it nation wide and everyone was going to lolapaluza. If I need an extra pump of anger energy, they can do it for me. If every thing is cool and I'm chillin back, they will come up on my, or someone elses playlist and I want to get rowdy
My uncle introduced me to RATM at a very young age..and been jamming ever since ..my uncle passed away recently....and Everytime I play a song I can't help but cry...I fuckin miss my uncle man.
The feelings will pass and you will be able to listen to them again. Its pain your feeling right now. Your uncle is in a better place were there is no more suffering
It's really sad that Leonard Peltier is in prison to this day despite the fact that two Federal Agents testified in court that Leonard was over 20 miles away from the place where the two agents were murdered at the time it happened. Travesty.
+tbone2872 It is so sad. My husband called the white house and requested the his clemency when Obama leaves office. You should do it too!! All of you should!! 😊
That's not true. He admitted he was there in 1999; admitted that he did indeed fire on the agents. Look it up on Wikipedia. His gun had casings that were found at the scene: The casing introduced into evidence had in fact been extracted from the Wichita AR-15."[19][20] In his 1999 memoir, Peltier admitted that he fired at the agents, but denies that he fired the fatal shots that killed them.
@@cesarealkemist5055This song has nothing at all to do with anything that remotely supports anything DJT has done. RATM made songs like this because they are firmly AGAINST anyything like him or his followers. You're that dense.
I love how both Rage Against the Machine’s and Korn’s debut album end with the lead singers losing their shit in the final track (Freedom and Daddy) since both Zack de la Rocha and Jonathan Davis both sported dreadlocks and I consider both albums as the angriest mainstream albums released during the nineties since both RATM and Korn shook up the alternative metal scene and gave birth to Nu Metal in 1992 and 1994 respectively, not to mention both albums having extremely distressing cover art.
I grew up with these tunes in the 90s. This music made me immune to manipulation later in life. I learned how to protect my own freedom and respect the rights of the others.
Listened daily when I was 16, listen daily at 43. I add this to my 17 and 20 yr olds Spotify playlists. I feel like an appreciation for Rage is a necessity. I don’t feel like I’d be a proper mother without trying to enlighten them with this gift.
I'm a fan since the 90s but the older I get the more I realize that we need more rage, more public enemy and especially the message that rage made us see through music!!!
Solo, I'm a soloist, on a solo list All live, never on a floppy disk Inka, inka, bottle of ink Paintings of rebellion, drawn up by the thoughts I think! [Refrain] Yeah! C'mon! The militant poet in once again, check it [Verse 2] It's set up like a deck of cards They're sendin' us to early graves for all the diamonds They'll use a pair of clubs to beat the spades With poetry I paint the pictures that hit More like the murals that fit Don't turn away Get in front of it Brotha, did ya forget cha name? Did ya lose it on the wall playin Tic-Tac-Toe? Yo, check the diagonal Three brothers gone, c'mon Doesn't that make it three in a row? (Anger is a gift) [Refrain] C'mon! Ugh! [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Drop that! Ugh! C'mon! Yeah! Ugh! [Verse 3] Brotha, did ya forget ya name? Did ya lose it on the wall playin' Tic-Tac-Toe? Yo, check the diagonal Three million gone, c'mon 'Cause you know they're counting backwards to zero Environment The environment exceeding On the level of our unconsciousness For example, what does the billboard say?: "Come and play Come and play Forget about the movement!"
How did these guys create this timeless music at such a young age? Flip side of the musical coin from Bob Marley, but both have wisdom that endures and stays as relevant as time goes by.
This brings back a lot of memories. I was in junior high when I read "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee," which affected me deeply. I remember the Peltier "incident" as it unfolded in '75. This is a powerful song. "What does the billboard say Come and play, come and play Forget about the movement Anger is a gift"
I've been listening to this song since it came out, when I was a kid. My friends and I used to blast it on the reservation. We were so young and idealiastic. I vowed to myself that I would go to college, not get pregnant, and not become an alcoholic. Somehow, I managed. Most of my friends were not so lucky.
If you are here today in 2023 listening to this it’s because for me at least what I heard a thousand yesterdays ago!! The message is as powerful today as it was then. CUZ WHAT YOU REAP IS WHAT YOU SOW!!!!

Def their best song.

their best with Wake Up. Freedom in the pit is one of my best memories. It was fantastic....
Freedom comes by fruit trees that bores people compared to the money tree
If Freedom Got More Attention A Revolutionary War Would've Taken Place In All Of USA, And Zach Would Be Leading A Country Once Known As America.
This band taught me more about history than school did.
They educated a lot of people about COINTELPRO and the dirty fascists in the CIA. Definitely not something you'd learn in school.
So you like kool aid

When he screams Freedom, and yeah right, it tears right through me....I literally feel a bit shaken after listening to this song, no matter how many times I listen..
He don’t know what is not to have freedom never live in a communist country have you¿
No, we live in an illusion of democracy. I'd rather be presented with a dark truth than a bright lie.
@@pingapalcomunismo8232 well I did and there is NO difference between people,who travesty the idea of communism and cooperated capitalists. But don t blame Zack or anyone else, who critizises the latter for that!
Their music shaped my mindset when it came to politics as a youth.

RATM promotes what I like to call productive rage. Get angry and protest. Fight for justice and for our most vulnerable population.
Their first single, a 6 minute song without chorus. Amazing band, still one of my favorite after more than 20 years
I remember vividly when I first saw this on MTV. My mind grew
Started listening to RATM nonstop now during Covid19.
My man
2020 is exactly what they been raging about all these years....The Truth... the futhamukkin "Man" always and forever keeping the truth from us... this "plandemic"? probably a distraction for something else in the works...
@@penelopeowston9699 yeah right. Is that why they are discriminating against the unvaccinated? Hypocrisy in the name of.
@@davidian2.024
Yup that too
@@penelopeowston9699 your bang on yes but what I'm saying is they've sold out or something, to refuse fans who aren't vaccinated in their upcoming dates..
Rage has its place, its where you start. we grow from rage into indignation, from indignation to unity, from unity to equanimity. it all starts with being enraged by injustice and the restriction of freedoms.
I become more enraged as I've grown older. I remember when they first hit it nation wide and everyone was going to lolapaluza. If I need an extra pump of anger energy, they can do it for me. If every thing is cool and I'm chillin back, they will come up on my, or someone elses playlist and I want to get rowdy
Well said
Hell yea brother
My uncle introduced me to RATM at a very young age..and been jamming ever since ..my uncle passed away recently....and Everytime I play a song I can't help but cry...I fuckin miss my uncle man.
The feelings will pass and you will be able to listen to them again. Its pain your feeling right now. Your uncle is in a better place were there is no more suffering
The last few seconds, is it the sound of the "machine" being destroyed?
This song focuses on Leonard Peltier and The American Indian Movement!!! powerful...
It's really sad that Leonard Peltier is in prison to this day despite the fact that two Federal Agents testified in court that Leonard was over 20 miles away from the place where the two agents were murdered at the time it happened. Travesty.
+tbone2872 It is so sad. My husband called the white house and requested the his clemency when Obama leaves office. You should do it too!! All of you should!! 😊
That's not true. He admitted he was there in 1999; admitted that he did indeed fire on the agents. Look it up on Wikipedia. His gun had casings that were found at the scene:
The casing introduced into evidence had in fact been extracted from the Wichita AR-15."[19][20] In his 1999 memoir, Peltier admitted that he fired at the agents, but denies that he fired the fatal shots that killed them.
Pisses me off that he side stepped this. Took the time to grant clemency to so many others.
Dude. Wikipedia. Really?
Sadly the songs on this album still have meaning today.
World needs Rage Against The Machine now more than ever.
The song I need today 11-6-2024 !
Real talk Trump 2024!
i bet your free still
@@cesarealkemist5055 You would think i meant that orange shit stain...of course ... that's how damn stupid you people are.
@@cesarealkemist5055 Only a Trump supporter would be so gullible as to think any RATM song represented them. You stupid SOB.
@@cesarealkemist5055This song has nothing at all to do with anything that remotely supports anything DJT has done. RATM made songs like this because they are firmly AGAINST anyything like him or his followers. You're that dense.
The "Freedom" screams of Zack came from his soul. Fucking amazing
I agree
I love how this song tells a story metaphorically and literally
These dudes need to be mainstream they talking sum real issh that still relevant today
Lana Aneva I assume you’re young bc they were absolutely mainstream in the 90s
They have bene mainstream for a long time, youngn.
That ending was brutal
I love how both Rage Against the Machine’s and Korn’s debut album end with the lead singers losing their shit in the final track (Freedom and Daddy) since both Zack de la Rocha and Jonathan Davis both sported dreadlocks and I consider both albums as the angriest mainstream albums released during the nineties since both RATM and Korn shook up the alternative metal scene and gave birth to Nu Metal in 1992 and 1994 respectively, not to mention both albums having extremely distressing cover art.
WE NEED YOU RAGE!
\m/ \m/
I grew up with these tunes in the 90s. This music made me immune to manipulation later in life. I learned how to protect my own freedom and respect the rights of the others.
Listened daily when I was 16, listen daily at 43. I add this to my 17 and 20 yr olds Spotify playlists. I feel like an appreciation for Rage is a necessity. I don’t feel like I’d be a proper mother without trying to enlighten them with this gift.
I like knowing that there are people like you out there. Thanks for sharing.
😂 I'm 60 years old and still listening to rage everyday
One of the best live bands ever. And I’ve seen about 500 shows mostly big name bands.
THE BEST!
BEST COMBINATION EVER: RAP AND HEAVY METAL!
andres96tejeiro this is the rapcore
not unless you have fred durst
Lump biscuit. That is all.
Peanut butter and jelly. That is all.
And the fact that freedom and injustice is bipartisan
I'm a fan since the 90s but the older I get the more I realize that we need more rage, more public enemy and especially the message that rage made us see through music!!!
20 years later and the natives are fighting the good fight! They need to play this at standing rock!
Archer Sterling ......try like 26 yrs.....i was 12 the first time I saw this video as a "Buzz clip" on MTV.....ill be 39 in October
This has been in regular rotation for me for 32 years and I still don’t think I’ve heard it enough times
Same here bro
I’m about to be 36 in a couple of days, I’ve been blasting this track for 20 years. 😎
FREEDOM para a América Latina e Caribe!!!🇧🇷🇦🇷🇨🇺🇨🇷🇨🇴🇨🇱🇪🇨🇧🇴🇭🇳🇲🇽🇵🇪🇵🇦🇵🇾🇻🇪🇺🇾
The greatest scream in music history...
It’s a shame that Zack screamed much more less in the later albums due to messing up his vocals which got more lower.
Dude, my man Zack be sounding like a freakin' TIE-Fighter at 3:44
Couldn’t be a better time in history for you legends 🙌
Jesus, I get goosebumps every time I hear the end of this song. Every, damn, time. Amazing.
Solo, I'm a soloist, on a solo list
All live, never on a floppy disk
Inka, inka, bottle of ink
Paintings of rebellion, drawn up by the thoughts I think!
[Refrain]
Yeah! C'mon!
The militant poet in once again, check it
[Verse 2]
It's set up like a deck of cards
They're sendin' us to early graves for all the diamonds
They'll use a pair of clubs to beat the spades
With poetry I paint the pictures that hit
More like the murals that fit
Don't turn away
Get in front of it
Brotha, did ya forget cha name?
Did ya lose it on the wall playin Tic-Tac-Toe?
Yo, check the diagonal
Three brothers gone, c'mon
Doesn't that make it three in a row?
(Anger is a gift)
[Refrain]
C'mon!
Ugh!
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Drop that!
Ugh!
C'mon!
Yeah!
Ugh!
[Verse 3]
Brotha, did ya forget ya name?
Did ya lose it on the wall playin' Tic-Tac-Toe?
Yo, check the diagonal
Three million gone, c'mon
'Cause you know they're counting backwards to zero
Environment
The environment exceeding
On the level of our unconsciousness
For example, what does the billboard say?:
"Come and play
Come and play
Forget about the movement!"
Thank you!
❤
100% ❤💯🔥
Thanks man!!!!
Purest emotion at 4:57, always loved that part of the video.
One of the best long songs ever.
Anger is a gift !!!
Their music truly gets better with time.
Are you maturing musically or...?
Gotta love Rage. So simple. Real musicians playing real instruments and telling the truth. Especially this song.
How did these guys create this timeless music at such a young age? Flip side of the musical coin from Bob Marley, but both have wisdom that endures and stays as relevant as time goes by.
Marley was the man till I found out he was a mason along with Dylan Hendrix the beatles and a whole lot of other sell outs
They were not plagued by (anti)social networks.
Anyone listening to this in november 2019? This guys are about to reunite! Damn yeah!!
I'm here 11/23/19
@@lotusgirl8731 yey! Great!!
Let it rain!! Hell yes
Rage was right.
ANGER is a GIFT
Holy christ. That opening lick tho. Thank u Tom
Still listening to this after 30 years
"Anger is a gift"
YEAR 2017 and I still have that feeling and the vibe I had 20 years ago when I heard this band for the first time.
i need some Rage... wish they were still around.. today more than eva
jackie wilson Prophets of Rage
They're coming back actually. Come 2020.
@@notramesses4790 yeah right🤪
@@michaelknight287 correction 2021
This brings back a lot of memories. I was in junior high when I read "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee," which affected me deeply. I remember the Peltier "incident" as it unfolded in '75. This is a powerful song.
"What does the billboard say
Come and play, come and play
Forget about the movement
Anger is a gift"
Anger brings clarity.
STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY 💖
I've been listening to this song since it came out, when I was a kid. My friends and I used to blast it on the reservation. We were so young and idealiastic. I vowed to myself that I would go to college, not get pregnant, and not become an alcoholic. Somehow, I managed. Most of my friends were not so lucky.
THE BEST RAGE SONG OF ALL TIME..... WE NEED FREEDOM RIGHT NOW....
FREDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM........YEAAAAH RIGHT !!!
My all time favourite RATM song, so much energy !
If you are here today in 2023 listening to this it’s because for me at least what I heard a thousand yesterdays ago!! The message is as powerful today as it was then. CUZ WHAT YOU REAP IS WHAT YOU SOW!!!!
"How long? Not long. Cuz what you reap is what you sow." - wake up
one of my favorite RATM riffs
Riley Wallace know your enemy too,
Just all of self titled is amazing
a great song to wake up to... puts living in this moment in time in perspective
one of the hardest songs. If not the hardest.
"Freedommmmm.... yeahhhhhhhhh"🤘
This band just speaks for itself, and they're music is medicine for me 🤘
