  • 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

      Have you ever listened to Body Count? It's a rock band that was led by Ice T. One of their songs was banned in the US. It's called Cop K*ller. I'm not saying Body Count is as good as Rage Against the Machine, but they had some legit lyrics.

    My Favorite two interactions from Tom Morello is when fans/trolls suddenly said he was political. the two quotes are " What machine did you think we were raging against?" the other was “One does not have to be an honours grad in political science from Harvard University to recognise the unethical and inhumane nature of this administration but well, I happen to be an honours grad in political science from Harvard University, so I can confirm that for you"

And yes, if we're getting into specifics, they're closer to mutualist than traditional socialist, but I'd argue that socialist is a pretty broad umbrella that mutualist falls under. They've also expressed support for several MLM movements. One I can think of off hand is The Communist Party of Peru, which they gave explicit support for in the video for Bombtrack.

      Google "Conservatism Amygdala" to learn about the mechanism that makes conservative people extremely prone to falling for xenophobia-based manipulation. Once you understand their brain, the reasons for everything they do and believe becomes immediately obvious. It's fear. And fear can be manipulated like no other emotion. There's a reason Fox News does nothing but scare the bejesus out of people.. There's a reason the advertisers on Fox News peddle stuff that makes conservatives feel safe.. Bunker gear, gun stuff, alarm systems, doomsday food buckets.. Advertisers KNOW where the scared people exist, and that's the only places they advertise.

    I'm a 46 year old white dude who grew up poor from the Baltimore/D.C. area. I had mostly black friends and definitely grew up a hip hop head but started expanding my musical taste when I got to high school. I was exposed to grunge and Pantera. Then Rage dropped their first album my freshman year in 92' and I was hooked. It was like the best of both worlds to me. I would try to expose my friends to Rage but it was a hard sell because of the style of music. Then in 96', my senior year, they dropped Evil Empire. Rocked my world again. I saw them live multiple times. I was all about Rage on the rock side and Wu Tang Clan on the hip hop side so when they toured together in 97' it was like 2 of my worlds colliding. I'll never forget that concert. It was at a pavilion and we bumrushed security to get up close. I ended up standing on top of the first row of seats with a bottle of 151. What a show. What a time to be alive. RIP ODB.

    You can tell true Rage fans when you ask what their favorite songs are and this one is in their Top 5. A song that never hit radio waves for reasons, this banger is more or less unknown by the general public and lives on in the hearts and minds of the people who really get into this music.
    Fun aside, I believe the "Just a quiet, peaceful dance" is a nod to John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath. The gist is about a migrant camp that the higher ups want shut down, so they hire some people to start a riot. The leaders of the camp watch out for troublemakers and when they find them they quietly escort them out. When the authorities arrive expecting trouble, they find nothing of the sort and are told it's just a quiet, peaceful dance. Been years since I read it so hope I'm not too far off. Grapes of Wrath essentially tells the tale of the struggle of the common folk, in this case migrant workers, against their for-profit driven masters who don't care about them, only what they do for them.
    Second fun fact, Tom Joad is in Grapes, and RATM does a remake of a Bruce Springsteen song "The Ghost of Tom Joad".

    Im a white guy in his 30's from South Africa, been rocking to Rage since i was probably 12 years old. The first time I heard them was in the first Matrix movie (Their song "Wake Up"). I was blown away. The music, the vibe, the message, everything. Just melted my barely teenage brain. So cool to see someone jamming so hard to them 30 years later man. Music is proof we can come from vastly different worlds and get the same message and feeling from art like this. Rock on Rob💯

    "make a move and plead the fifth cause you cant plead the first" is a call to action.
    Its saying, 'we're not free. you can't just sit back and plead the 1st and expect that the machine will actually let you say what you want to say. Instead you have to make a move, do what you gotta do, and then that might require you to plead the 5th.'

    Alright, I’m coming back to comment again after watching the video
    This is peak Rage imo. Plenty of their songs have deep, powerful lyrics on par with Down Rodeo, but its delivery and instrumentals are perfection. I’m so glad that you got around to listening to it, place it in your top two and could appreciate the lyrics for how phenomenal they are.
    You mentioned in Calm Like a Bomb that you wanted to know what his political views are, and one line in this song summarizes that up well to me
    “A thousand years they have the tools, we should be taking them
    Fuck the G-Ride, I want the machines that are makin em”
    Zack doesn’t want the products that are sold to the consumer; he wants the means to production, the redistribution of wealth. Fun fact, Tom Morello actually majored in political science. There is an interview you can find on TH-cam with Zack where you can really get an understanding of where he stands within the first few minutes.

  • @maxs2982
    @maxs2982 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    This song in particular has a lot of socialist messaging including the Fred Hampton shoutout. He is not saying "voting doesn't change anything and we have to accept that", he is saying if you want things to change you can't rely on voting, you have to organize, protest and put actual pressure on the rich and powerful. Also the line "Fuck tha G-ride I want the machines that are makin' em" is a pretty straightforward way to say "seize the means of production". Great music combined with powerful lyrics. Workers of the world unite ✊🏻

    Down Rodeo is THAT song! It has all the bars and word play. It did everything right. It's ironic too because it got absolutely no radio play and is still one of the fanbase's favorites. Side note: Rage won their fist Grammy for Tire Me which is also on Evil Empire. That was always weird to me because there were so many other songs more worthy.

    I saw this video on my home page and just nodded sagely, knowing I was going to click right on it. Loved this video. Love watching younger people discover this band.
    Boring story time: TL;DR RATM has taught me a lot of shit I didn't know before.
    I am a Whitey McWhiterson woman that's old enough to have been a young teenager when their first album was released. All of my friends and I listened to RATM, and we saw them play at a small arena here and that was the most intense show I have ever seen since. When we left the building we were all steaming because it was cold out and we were sweaty af. It was nuts.
    The next day, I ran into Zack and the drummer (Brad Wilk) and reacted like any young teenage girl would react: OMG I SAW YOUR SHOW IT WAS SO COOL OMG. They stared at me for a moment and Zack just kinda murmured a thank you, not rudely but just seemed kind of mystified. Fast forward and I really started to listen to their songs and I learned a lot of what they were letting us know about. While I'm still a Whitey McWhiterson woman, I always try to just learn when performers like this have lyrics written for that reason and this band has taught me the most.
    Thanks for these reactions.
