I actually think that they 100% percent expected him to swear, but asked him anyway so if OFCOM tries to punish them for it they can say "well, we DID ask him not to do it, it's not our fault"
akin to when SOAD were asked to perform on SNL "and not swear." the band censored the entire song just for Daron to scream "FUCK YEAAAHHHH" at the end of it and completely dodge the censorship crew. I'll never get networks that invite anti establishment bands and expect them to behave on their accord. edit: i noticed a typo 10 months after making this comment lol
Another situation like that happened to Muse. They were asked to perform on Radio 3 and were told to not swear, which at the time, their music had no swearing whatsoever. A whole lotta "fucks" ensued.
Not gonna lie, I really want to see a band called "Comply with the Machine" now. Give people their sanitized, saccharine lyrics, but in the most dystopian way possible.

They asked them not to do something on a song about not doing what people tell them to do. The BBC should have asked them to swear (reverse psychology)
Seriously. I mean, the essence of the song is to say f*** off to any government/corporations or any conformity for that matters. What were they expecting?!?
@@peoseait's too bad that RATM is now subservient to conformity, bends over and spreads their ass right open for the government and corporations. So sad.
Yeah exactly, if the BBC wanted they could have broadcast the performance on a delay and censored it, but instead they let RATM be RATM, while retaining "plausible deniability" that they weren't complicit.
@@trsalmonI swear to god. People like you think that just because they care about peoples health like vaccines that , that makes them government personnel. The songs not about being a Karen and refusing to wear a mask because orange man said it’s “stealing gods air “ or some shit. It’s about police brutality and protesting against racist shit asses like yourself
That's no panic. BBC was handling beatles riots and punks assaults on live TV before RATM lads were even born. xD They're very used to play with fire, and definitely expected them to swear (as the speaker mentionned) It's cool english TV, and they hear and see much worse on a weekly basis. It's just common manners to let it happen for a few seconds, and then cut it to avoid most of the bigots' lawsuits. They CREATED tabloids, reality TV and juicy mediatic scandals to make fortunes. I think they might have been more panicked that RATM DIDN'T start swearing straight away. A producer must have been like "we fucking invited them and gave them a live performance, and try to shush them in a paternalistic way to get them hot-headed, what are they waiting for ?! Explode, godammit!! I got numbers to pull!"
Integrity would be refusing to play the song at all. Not telling them they would censor the song, then sing the uncensored version anyway. No hate towards the band, but this is a cheap move.
What did she fucking expect. That’s like telling the rock not do his wrestling move in a movie. He’s gonna do it regardless. Like seriously of course he’s gonna swear it’s part of the song. Have bbc never bloody heard this song before

The fact that they didn't have someone with their finger hovering over the bleep button in anticipation of the inevitable and allowing them to say it a few times borders on incompetence.
@@lgbtletsgobrandontribe1808 naw they were even tame back then. I mean when they were big black had already started, gg alen was around (whom I do not like for the record) and bands shining whom I've seen live and can speak of for sure (you wanna talk about breaking rules and ruffling feathers), I mean they said a bad word. Only raging to pearl clutchers.
Hilarious that it took her that long. I was listening live driving the car and it was bouncing - I was DRIPPING with anticipation for that bridge section to the coda and it didn’t disappoint. Even I with my middle aged sensibilities(I was 19 when the song came out and bought lp immediately) _knew_ that Zac & co were going to totally ignore any instructions It was bloody marvellous And all the money from that re-release went to homeless charity as well
It's great that by the time they caught it the damage was already done as well. Zack had already gotten his message across loud and clear, got all the Fuck You's out as originally written, and had moved on to continue with the rest of the lyrics. Cutting it off by then was virtually pointless. That woman from the BBC (and likely the rest of the execs) need to pull the stick out of their ass...or maybe put one in? May vary based on individual needs in their case....
Christmas 2009… so like 18 years after the record came out, the song is suddenly charting at # 1 again? and RATM is booked to perform it live, even though they had just broken up a few years earlier, and wouldn’t begin their reunion tours until several years AFTER that? I think this channel might have the year wrong haha
I would have been immeasurably disappointed if they had done otherwise. You can't name yourself something like that and then submit. Bravo, gentleman. 👏
i love the brief glimpse of a smile from the other band member who knew what was coming. when media outlets don't understand the artists' work, you get this, and it's beautiful.
@@kuylarhudgins6338 the bands called Rage against the Machine, I don't think they understand what that name means lol they were basically asking them to swear by telling them not to
The whole campaign to make RATM number one in order to keep X-Factor off the top spot, was one of those tiny acts of rebellion that came directly from music fans and actually worked. Warms your heart.
Fun fact: Simon Cowell's record label Syco is a subsidiary of Sony Music, same corporation that holds the rights to Killing in the Name…so in the end, the rebellion just pushed the sales of 2 tracks for Sony.
Rage Against The Machine has long been in fact: Rage Alongside The Machine. Now they overtly agree with the same sentiments of the corporate wokeness in charge of many companies and in power in many countries
@Future Catman That's why I said a tiny act of rebellion. It's more a prank than any kind of actual rebellion. The point is people were sick of X-Factor taking the Xmas number 1 spot so campaigned to put something better in it's place. It worked. Nothing more than that.
I remember that Christmas, family are enjoying the dinner, chatting... then 'rage against the machine' suddenly came on in the background from the radio. Very peculiar
@@gandoff7840It was a whole campaign, groups, pages on Facebook, twitter, everywhere this guy started a whole trend encouraging people to buy the song on all platforms to stop X Factor taking number 1 and everyone did including myself, it was incredibly successful. I'd give anything for something like this to happen every year to stop X Factor or that arsewipe LadBaby getting number 1.
@@nathandts3401 I hope he's successful, I'm sure he tried last year with Boris Johnson is a Fucking Cunt, even had a radio friendly version, but it just didn't quite top it. We need to keep X Factor and LadBaby out of the number 1 spot permanently, I don't even care what song it is that takes it at this point. 😂
I definitely feel like he did it on purpose so they'd think he wasn't going to do it like they asked, so he could get a handful of "fuck"s out live on air just to make a point of it
@@SRHtheHedgehog Well yeah, whaddya think bruh? Of course it was totally on purpose. It's RATM we're talking about here, ain't no way De La Rocha was gonna let himself and his bandmates be alienated like this by authority and supremacy, it's the very thing they condemn in their song.
I assume the BBC very much expected something like this, having their hand on the button as that part was approaching. But then they lulled them into a fake sense of security by skipping it in the build-up, before... Well, raging.
It's like a ticking time bomb, with the suspense getting higher, then realizing they gave you plenty of warnings with EACH and EVERY chorus!! ... I won't do what you tell me... And when the beat dropped, it was THE GREATEST fuck you of all time! The greatest irony ever pulled off by the citizens of England was to make this happen against the government and the media influence, especially on live TV. This is exactly what freedom of speech in the US Bill of Rights is meant for, and the British people wanted it.
That’s the BBC. Reality doesn’t matter. What matters is what the BBC thinks is appropriate to broadcast. Them being invited to play is already highly questionable. The result was inevitable. It’s like Elvis not moving a finger on stage.
@@tattoodude8946 Yeah that's another thing, imagine telling a band called rage against the machine to be quiet and polite in their music because "the machine" needs them to..
And today they want you to be forced the poke and stuck inside your home. Of course on behalf of the machine. It's like if Chuck Norris said peace was the way and a real man cuts his dick off.
This is still one of my favourite moments in music history, the BBC got RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE to preform KILLING IN THE NAME, and actually thought they wouldnt swear… the song that repeats the lyrics “fuck you i wont do what you tell me” 😂 how did that even happen
The whole song is about not conforming to supression... and your telling them not to do something. The smugness of that tv host... they would be in for a big surprise.
Did they not realize how poetically perfect it would be for them to respond by literally saying "f*** you I won't do what you tell me." That worked out quite nicely for r a t m 🤣
It's not perfectly poetic if they agreed to not say it. In that case, they're bitch ass lying to get a stage. It would have been poetic if they refused to perform because they refuse to participate at all in the Machine that tried to tell them what to do.
@@unbumfuzzled I could see your point completely. Me personally still thinks it kind of goes with what they are. The lying thing is kind of b**** ass I suppose you're right I wouldn't do it but they are Rage Against the Machine it's literally what they do.. or at least used to LMAO maybe now they just settle for lying. peace brother
He did, in fact, not do what they told him, what did they even expect when they told them to sing a song with lyrics „fuck you i wont do what you tell me” without swearing lmao
This was a veiled power play!! Who books Rage Against The Machine and expects to dictate how they should perform?? The tone deafness behind that move is unbelievable!! 😂😂
FUN FACT: Jim Morrison was asked by Ed Sullivan not say "Girl we couldn't get much higher" when they performed the song "Light my Fire" on the show. Not only did Jim sing the verse, he emphasized it. Suppression of free speech is suppression of thought because thought comes before speech.
He did not emphasized it, this is what the movie shows. If you check the real video he just sing it normally as he did in the recording. No extra emphasis was put in that part. Still bad ass for that time.
The fact they expected them to not swear is just fucking hilarious.
The band named Rage Against The Machine
Surely they'll listen to a major news outlet that they spent their entire career criticizing...
@TheHagenator06 Frick you I won't sleep, it's not bedtime

I came here at the best time possible
Rage against the machine's fury will never be forgotten
GET RID OF IT!!! 😂😂😂😂😂❤ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love it
Dude! You co-created one of my favourite moments in music! THANKYOU!
I would pay to go back in time and live in that moment!!!
"Can you guys not rage against us"
*gets raged against*
*Surprised Pikachu Face.*
Like, what machine did they think they were raging against?

❤️🔥.. "get rid of it" outburst by bbc producer so funny 😂
Her panicked voice, 4 fuck you's in... I'm smiling ear to ear right now.
Hilarious that it took her that long.
I was listening live driving the car and it was bouncing - I was DRIPPING with anticipation for that bridge section to the coda and it didn’t disappoint.
Even I with my middle aged sensibilities(I was 19 when the song came out and bought lp immediately) _knew_ that Zac & co were going to totally ignore any instructions
It was bloody marvellous
And all the money from that re-release went to homeless charity as well
4 F Us and a big middle finger right into the camera.
She was probably head banging and then she noticed
That panicked “Get rid of it” is so satisfying lmao
Honestly I think it progress to see these yuppies make it thirty seconds into a rage song
It's great that by the time they caught it the damage was already done as well. Zack had already gotten his message across loud and clear, got all the Fuck You's out as originally written, and had moved on to continue with the rest of the lyrics. Cutting it off by then was virtually pointless. That woman from the BBC (and likely the rest of the execs) need to pull the stick out of their ass...or maybe put one in? May vary based on individual needs in their case....
They way she said that, like she can rid something way above her level. Lol
Telling people to buy Joe's record is very much against the law for the BBC, though. Very naughty
They get a few “fucks” in… if that’s the original, she could’ve been a lot faster! Ha.
They were kind enough to giftwrap that opportunity for Christmas.
Christmas 2009… so like 18 years after the record came out, the song is suddenly charting at # 1 again? and RATM is booked to perform it live, even though they had just broken up a few years earlier, and wouldn’t begin their reunion tours until several years AFTER that? I think this channel might have the year wrong haha
That is pretty gangster, I must say. The whole thing was just f'ing brilliant
I would have been immeasurably disappointed if they had done otherwise. You can't name yourself something like that and then submit. Bravo, gentleman. 👏
Too bad they did later and are now widely known as “Rage *with* the Machine”
@@deplorableokieNo, they aren't. Lol
@@DrinkWater713 change your name to “DrinkKoolaid” it’s more fitting… and yes, they are
Adds the finger for emphasis.
the irony is absolutely unmatched. one of the all time videos of all time.
Your comment gave me dyslexia. An all time video of all time? Did you miss a word in that sentence, or am I missing something altogether?
The irony is delicious !!!
@ronmurphy8863 it's the opposite of wrinkly.
@@themadhanna 🤣🤣 i was just making sure everyone knew i meant ALL TIME. sorry
@nickpatterson679 sorry, I couldn't read your apology because I have dyslexia now... 😅😝
Can’t control the uncontrolled. Big props to them.
He completed the assignment.
😂
And did
i love the brief glimpse of a smile from the other band member who knew what was coming. when media outlets don't understand the artists' work, you get this, and it's beautiful.
They literally told the person saying "I won't do what you tell me" what to do 💀
Did you ?
😷😷 💉💉💉💉💉💊
Then got surprised when they didn't do what they were told lmao
exactly... fcuk BBC...
@@kuylarhudgins6338 the bands called Rage against the Machine, I don't think they understand what that name means lol they were basically asking them to swear by telling them not to
@@WilliamWallace42 thanks for the knowledge
Number one for Christmas 😂😂😂 and they expected them not to swear I’m pissing myself laughing
The whole campaign to make RATM number one in order to keep X-Factor off the top spot, was one of those tiny acts of rebellion that came directly from music fans and actually worked. Warms your heart.
Fun fact: Simon Cowell's record label Syco is a subsidiary of Sony Music, same corporation that holds the rights to Killing in the Name…so in the end, the rebellion just pushed the sales of 2 tracks for Sony.
@@FutureCatman doesnt change the fact that ratm are superior to anything related to simon cowell
Rage Against The Machine has long been in fact: Rage Alongside The Machine. Now they overtly agree with the same sentiments of the corporate wokeness in charge of many companies and in power in many countries
@@pedro-pascals-armpit but, as mr catman just explained to you, they ARE something related to simon cowells parent company. which is arguably worse.
@Future Catman That's why I said a tiny act of rebellion. It's more a prank than any kind of actual rebellion.
The point is people were sick of X-Factor taking the Xmas number 1 spot so campaigned to put something better in it's place. It worked. Nothing more than that.
He didn't swear, he just didn't do what they told him
I remember that Christmas, family are enjoying the dinner, chatting... then 'rage against the machine' suddenly came on in the background from the radio. Very peculiar
Lmao how did this even happen though?
@@gandoff7840 different times
@@gandoff7840It was a whole campaign, groups, pages on Facebook, twitter, everywhere this guy started a whole trend encouraging people to buy the song on all platforms to stop X Factor taking number 1 and everyone did including myself, it was incredibly successful. I'd give anything for something like this to happen every year to stop X Factor or that arsewipe LadBaby getting number 1.
@@rakejoberts2553Kunt and the Gang are trying.
@@nathandts3401 I hope he's successful, I'm sure he tried last year with Boris Johnson is a Fucking Cunt, even had a radio friendly version, but it just didn't quite top it. We need to keep X Factor and LadBaby out of the number 1 spot permanently, I don't even care what song it is that takes it at this point. 😂
I watched them as a teenager at Brixton academy in the 90's. Still the best music event I ever attended.
This whole situation from start to finish was chef’s kiss 💋. Props to the people of the UK for being real ones.
I love that they waited til the rising action/climax of the song to bust out the F-bomb. So appropriate and perfectly timed. Well played, boys! 👏🤘🖕
I actually prefer it that way
I definitely feel like he did it on purpose so they'd think he wasn't going to do it like they asked, so he could get a handful of "fuck"s out live on air just to make a point of it
This is amazing hahahahJ
@@SRHtheHedgehog Well yeah, whaddya think bruh? Of course it was totally on purpose. It's RATM we're talking about here, ain't no way De La Rocha was gonna let himself and his bandmates be alienated like this by authority and supremacy, it's the very thing they condemn in their song.
I assume the BBC very much expected something like this, having their hand on the button as that part was approaching. But then they lulled them into a fake sense of security by skipping it in the build-up, before... Well, raging.
Singer: (4th time saying) "i wont do what you tell me".
Producer: I think he's saying it to us.
We asked them to do what we told them in a song about them not doing what we tell them.
They didn't do what we told them!
Surprised Pikachu
It's like a ticking time bomb, with the suspense getting higher, then realizing they gave you plenty of warnings with EACH and EVERY chorus!! ... I won't do what you tell me... And when the beat dropped, it was THE GREATEST fuck you of all time! The greatest irony ever pulled off by the citizens of England was to make this happen against the government and the media influence, especially on live TV. This is exactly what freedom of speech in the US Bill of Rights is meant for, and the British people wanted it.
The panic in her voice is hilarious.
They literally raged against the machine. 😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀
I am so fucking proud of them for not doing what they told them do, a little rage can be healthy if done with a little resistance, god bless
Anger is a gift…
They basically asked a lion not to roar.
. It's all about anti authoritarianism so what did BBC expect
Do the roar.
This group is so underrated man
"Oh just don't say the main part of the song that's iconic to your band..."
The name of the band is Rage against the Machine - a hint perhaps? Did they ever hear the song?
That’s the BBC. Reality doesn’t matter. What matters is what the BBC thinks is appropriate to broadcast. Them being invited to play is already highly questionable. The result was inevitable. It’s like Elvis not moving a finger on stage.
@@tattoodude8946 Yeah that's another thing, imagine telling a band called rage against the machine to be quiet and polite in their music because "the machine" needs them to..
And today they want you to be forced the poke and stuck inside your home. Of course on behalf of the machine. It's like if Chuck Norris said peace was the way and a real man cuts his dick off.
i remember waiting on them to start swearing at that exact point.....i KNEW i would not be let down! RATM!
That was a truly memorable moment in life 👍😍
@@Letts_prey It was indeed :)
Yeah fuck them. They're authoritarian now. They want everyone to be forced to take an experimental injection.
My god, what an amazing band. We never see bands like THIS anymore. They were strong and special…
Bless these brothers, we need more people like this, we are in extreme need of more people like this...WAKE UP!!!!!!
I listened to that live on the radio and was thinking 'they really expect them not to do it'. They didn't let anyone down 😂
public programs when rage against the machine rages against the machine: 😧
BBC’s Expectation: “Good morrow sir, I won’t do what you tell me!”
Hahaha. I hope you get tonnes of likes
"I will not proceed as defined!"
😂😂😂 'I simply shan't do what thy tell thee!'
"Good morrow sir, I will not acquiesce with your parlance."
I bite my thumb at you, sir! I shan’t comply with thine request.
The line is "F*ck you, I won't do what you tell me!"... what did the BBC expect? 😂😂😂😂
This is still one of my favourite moments in music history, the BBC got RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE to preform KILLING IN THE NAME, and actually thought they wouldnt swear… the song that repeats the lyrics “fuck you i wont do what you tell me” 😂 how did that even happen
hahaha thanks to ratm and corporate brainless idiots for delivering us this amazing moment
The band suck balls and are shills for the American government, they are owned by hedge funds and Wall street
The whole song is about not conforming to supression... and your telling them not to do something. The smugness of that tv host... they would be in for a big surprise.
RB4 has the now swearing version which sucks
I bet rage was so excited to do the show 😆 love it
Did they not realize how poetically perfect it would be for them to respond by literally saying "f*** you I won't do what you tell me." That worked out quite nicely for r a t m 🤣
And you put three asterisks there because you are the one asking them to not swear...🤐
r a t m?

It's not perfectly poetic if they agreed to not say it. In that case, they're bitch ass lying to get a stage. It would have been poetic if they refused to perform because they refuse to participate at all in the Machine that tried to tell them what to do.
@@unbumfuzzled I could see your point completely. Me personally still thinks it kind of goes with what they are. The lying thing is kind of b**** ass I suppose you're right I wouldn't do it but they are Rage Against the Machine it's literally what they do.. or at least used to LMAO maybe now they just settle for lying. peace brother
He did, in fact, not do what they told him, what did they even expect when they told them to sing a song with lyrics „fuck you i wont do what you tell me” without swearing lmao
It’s not in the lyrics though. The lyrics are “and now you do what they told ya” but he changed it for the performance
@@f-8floyd "now you do what they told ya" is the precorus. "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me" is the outro and always has been.
@@f-8floyd you’re incorrect.
Take the L
Dude probably only ever heard it on the radio 😅
Imagine hearing this song on a vaccine mandated,mouthcap requiring concert🤣🤣jezus christ lmao
He stood his ground. Respect.
They really expected him to do what they told him
I must've missed the part saying they *told* them not to swear. Everything I see says asked...
Fucking badass
He got in 4 before they hit the kill switch!
When the machine tries to control the rage. Beautifully illustrated.
Thank you for teaching this song! My dad absolutely loves this song and started learning how to play it by you!
This was a veiled power play!! Who books Rage Against The Machine and expects to dictate how they should perform?? The tone deafness behind that move is unbelievable!! 😂😂
FUN FACT: Jim Morrison was asked by Ed Sullivan not say "Girl we couldn't get much higher" when they performed the song "Light my Fire" on the show. Not only did Jim sing the verse, he emphasized it. Suppression of free speech is suppression of thought because thought comes before speech.
I wish it was always ppl thinking before they speak in reality
@@AnglephileSwedenGermanyeah but then every conversation would be like 4 times as long.
I say we only converse in music now
@@GodMaxDrinkerofTea good point
And Mick Jagger obeyed and sang "let's spend some time together".
He did not emphasized it, this is what the movie shows. If you check the real video he just sing it normally as he did in the recording. No extra emphasis was put in that part. Still bad ass for that time.
Breaking news, the Machine was shook that they were raged against
We need MORE of this today.
