I was very fortunate to get to see Rage Against The Machine 2 different times live and they were freakin incredible and the crowd’s energy level was off the charts!!!💯❤️🔥
Every word is still relevant. Every word. The effect pedals create different sounds, but Tom's techniques are what make it special. His left handed, rapid fire pickup selector switching is insane. People think it's a cut off button, but he turns the volume off for one pickup and leaves the other one on full, then switches between them for that stutter sound. Controlling the effects when they are used the way Tom uses them, is difficult. Nothing is subtle. That flange is turned all the way up, like most of his effects. It's kind of insane. His tone remains sneakily clean.
I'm 56 and grew up with the coolest music of all time. Rage Against or all the bands in the Seattle grunge scene. Nirvana when the band was still an insider tip or Rammstein in front of maybe 800 people in a music tent. Above all, concert tickets were much cheaper in relation to the salary >30 years ago than they are today. I didn't earn much when I was younger but 1-2 concerts a week were still no problem.
I was born 1973,I love them.your the first reactor that has nailed the concept of what this is truly about.they were the best protest bands of our generation in history ❤they sold 450,000 copies in one week then went triple platinum in a week.one of their concerts shook the ground so hard it was measured compared to a earth quake ❤
I'm currently learning all of Tim Commerford's bass parts so well immersed into RATM and Audioslave. Highly recommend Bombtrack, Wake Up, Down Rodeo, Testify, Guerilla Radio, Bullet In The Head, Calm Like A Bomb, How I Could Just Kill A Man, and Maggie's Farm Emphasis on Maggie's Farm and Guerilla Radio bc those are my favorite to play
morello uses different things for his scratching sounds. in this case he has a modified guitar with a toggle switch so he can kill the signal rhythmically, and you can see him using it with his right hand. he uses a slide to make that noise and the toggle switch to make it go on and off. some other times he also uses pitch shifting pedal called whammy from digitech, he has the first model which used to be a little glitchy and that’s part of the sound. often uses modulation effects like flanger or phaser. all sorts of stuff. no other guitarist has ever managed to get such a wide range of sounds from a guitar.
Found you through your Bulls on Parade video - love your reactions. I was born in ‘83 and RATM was my suburban white girl awakening…love seeing people discovering them all over again. PLEASE do these next: Down Rodeo Wake Up Testify Bombtrack
Guitar solo is played using slide and then he has a kill switch in the guitar, which he operates with the left hand. Thanks for keeping this kind of music alive!
Danish dude here. I was 11 in 93. I was collecting basketball cards and Shaq was the biggest star back then. EVERYBODY wanted Shaq cards! The older you get the more fun it is to think back. Shaq used to be as big as Kobe in ppls minds... generation and times change and we forget how exited we was about past things... P.s. I was listening to Rage back then already! My first music albums I bought when I was 10: Metallicas Black Album. LOL p.p.s I have spent AT LEAST 500 days of my life at concerts and music festivals watching well above a 1000 live concerts... Maybe it is even double. I spent the past three decades going out serveral times a month... Live music is the shit. and I like to party! LOL
So during the solo. He uses his right hand on his pick up switch. And one side is muted the other is full noise. Plus a mixture if chords. As flr the effects Im pretty sure a flanger and maybe a phaser depending on times
Tom Morello is GOD tier with a guitar, Fact. When you’re done working through the RatM catalogue move onto Prophets of Rage for more Morello goodness (and a few surprises I won’t ruin) Forget where I read it but: The best thing about RatM is their music is still relevant. The worst thing about RatM is their music is still relevant…….
It’s freakin sad they are not touring anymore! This would’ve been a badass concert to witness especially the energy from Tom Morellos wicked guitar shreds 🤟🏽🔥 🎸
That's just Tom Morello. One of the best innovator guitarists in the world. There is a reason he plays at all the rock and roll hall of fame ceremonies
Rage against the machine were responsible for the fires breaking out at Woodstock 99. Limp Biscuit came on right after rage and got blamed for it. Rage set the American flag on fire ass they walked off stage, and fires immediately broke out. Was a wild ass weekend.
I really love their cover of Bruce Springsteen's The Ghost of Tom Joad. Other songs to check out: Know Your Enemy, Wake Up, Testify, Bombtrack...just do every song on every album!😂
Lyrics bro... Can't get all he says without the lyrics... He is a lyrical genius,.. ashes in the fall, roll right, maria, wake up, Down rodèo.... All of these will get you a boost in views, likes, and if you have any kind of empathy, it'll turn you into an activist! Also his solo work is fire... But for God sakes have the lyrics to read, and go into them never having read them or heard the song... The in the moment reaction is what people love in these videos... Some will catch you off guard, and that's the thumbnail!
Saw Rage play in '93 (couple wks after this gig, with Tool supporting!) and in '95...amazing band live! From their 3rd album, the track "Mic Check" is their most hiphop track, my personal favourite though is "Without A Face" from the 2nd album Evil Empire - recommend checking those out and, well, pretty much every other RATM song there is after! :D
Rage Against The Machine is one of those bands for whom their music only become more relevant after they broke up/stopped making music... they broke up before the bush jr and the patriot act, and before half of american adult's open embrace of fascism. and there is nothing funnier about RATM than when people say RATM went "woke" (for some reason conservative rap and metal fans really like RATM [without a hint of irony as to what their music is about]), like when weren't they?, tom morello has even challenged them to find a RATM song that isn't "woke" so he can remove it from his library of work...lol
Okay Anthony - Tom Morello Used Only a few Effects Pedals One was a Crybaby '' wah wah '' Pedal (Just Like Hendrix ,Stevie Ray Vaughan Used. Many Other's) But Thats Mainly For His Rhythm Playing and a Few solo's - His Main (Crazy Sound' Scape) Came from a Digitech (Company Name) ''Whammy Pedal (Effect pedal name) This is a Pedal you Can set For Detuning, harmonizing, up tuning sound's (Setting's Like going up or Down in Pitch. You can really make Unique Sound. And it Had a Separate pedal you step on and you Can rock back and Forth. -To bring the Pitch up or down. the settings could be Harmonized In Parelle 4th's ,3rd etc. an Many other madness lol ( Dime ''bag'' Darrel from Pantera Also used a Whammy pedal R.I.P.)) But also, when Tom was coming up and Had a Custom Guitar made. He went to the Guitar factory they had A prototype guitar He wanted a Toggle switch for his Pickup Selection and It was Making a Strange noise as they switched the Bridge and Neck Pick-ups. He said ''Oh wow what's that sound''. they said oh it's just a glitch the finished Guitar will not make any noise...He was like nah i want that Prototype i can use that. So here you See him Using the Toggle switch Rocking it up and Down as it's switching the Pick up setting it has almost a strange scream. He is also using the Whammy pedal to bring the Pitch up or down and other sounds. At the same time. his tremolo Bar ( AKA Whammy bar.) all this in a rhythmic pattern. (Tom Once said he wanted his Guitar to Make Turn table Like Sound's and solo's.)
It's interesting watching reactors deep diving the music I grew up on. Anthony, please check out NONPOINT - ORGULLO. I don't need a reaction, I just want you to see this and go check it out for yourself. NONPOINT's catalogue is huge over the last 20 years and I think you would enjoy them.
Unfortunately all the shit they are „mad“ about is still or even more relevant! It’s insane that nothing that they criticized 30 years ago changed at all! And for worse there are almost no successful bands/artists left, who criticize the system that creates injustice, intolerance and poverty although we would have enough resources to live a dignified life! These days a band like RATM would be not successful anymore. It’s about Barbie Girls and ken who will , wakawaka-shaking booties
When you realise your parents music was harder than yours.
This song was released before Shaq was in the NBA. He was still in college.
I'm an old person and this has been in my playlists for about 30 years bc it don't quit

Powerful music and lyrics. Got almost all of their albums. The guitarist is insane. Thanx for your reaction.

Enjoy! When I transitioned from upright bass and orchestras to bass guitar and rock bands 20 years ago that was one of the first things I did too :)
“Mad-boy” was kind of his nickname from back when he was in Inside Out (old hardcore band), from what I’ve heard.
morello uses different things for his scratching sounds. in this case he has a modified guitar with a toggle switch so he can kill the signal rhythmically, and you can see him using it with his right hand. he uses a slide to make that noise and the toggle switch to make it go on and off. some other times he also uses pitch shifting pedal called whammy from digitech, he has the first model which used to be a little glitchy and that’s part of the sound. often uses modulation effects like flanger or phaser. all sorts of stuff. no other guitarist has ever managed to get such a wide range of sounds from a guitar.

To really appreciate Zack's rapping, checkout, Zack De La Rocha, KRS-One & The Last Emperor - C.I.A. (Criminals In Action)
Dope song, and I feel like not many people have heard that hidden gem.
It’s really quite depressing how relevant the lyrics still are. But damn the funky music goes HARD 🤘🔥

They are not that entertaining live. When I saw them they did not interact with the crowd at all.
@@ShaunDeMelloprobably just a bad first concert experience
That's just Tom Morello. One of the best innovator guitarists in the world. There is a reason he plays at all the rock and roll hall of fame ceremonies
RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE… Know Your Enemy!!! FIRE!!🔥
Rage against the machine were responsible for the fires breaking out at Woodstock 99.
Limp Biscuit came on right after rage and got blamed for it.
Rage set the American flag on fire ass they walked off stage, and fires immediately broke out. Was a wild ass weekend.
8:10 he's using a slide on the strings and the guitar has a killswitch which mutes the guitar when activated.
I really love their cover of Bruce Springsteen's The Ghost of Tom Joad. Other songs to check out: Know Your Enemy, Wake Up, Testify, Bombtrack...just do every song on every album!😂
The version Bruce and Tom Morello did together live is my favorite version of Ghost of Tom Joad. Rage's version was great, though.
"Killing in the name of" live with Maynard. Or my favorite, "Renegades of funk".
Yes! I was gonna request Killing in the name live with Maynard. I still will on Patreon. AR's head will explode lol...in a good way. 💜
Down Rodeo
(check the story behind the
'Arm The Homeless'

Tom's guitar is made out of parts from 3-4 guittars..

Ahhhhh.
To be 23 again.💜
Except their philosophy is exactly the opposite of Black Pegasus. He gets confused when he listens to RATM.
My first concert in 97 was RATM. I was grounded a month for getting home late. Haha
Rage Against The Machine is one of those bands for whom their music only become more relevant after they broke up/stopped making music... they broke up before the bush jr and the patriot act, and before half of american adult's open embrace of fascism.

"WAKE UP" Lyrics video next please.
I was there Pinkpop Landgraaf remember the good old time
Can we get born of a broken man is because it’s extremely slept on💯
The music is rock, but Zack is a top tier MC. He’s got mad knowledge to drop and mad BARZ!!!!!
Down Rodeo (row-day-ohh) is one sic bar after another
He's using his 3 way toggle as a kill switch
As he rubs against his low string's
tom morellos callouses on his palms do that noise ur asking about lol
Fire aspires to RATM’s Heat…
Both, Whammy Bar and Whammy Pedal!
Still ahead of their time
I’ve seen Rage 2x crazy ass shit bro!!!! Try the song Wake up
It's always a pleasure to see a reaction to RATM, but I also want to see Korn
Los Angeles’ own 🔥🫀
That wasn't wammy... that was Tommy
You wanted the HARD sh*t AR....you ask, you receive 😉💜

Can you please react to BE:FIRST 'Gifted. Orchestra ver.'?
Please react to "YOUNG POSSE" KPOP
I went to this show. They replaced another band.
They would just rob other poor people 🙄

Hey AR can you play us some ZZ Top
Yes!!!!! I’m nationwide, just got paid, waiting on a bus/Jesus just left Chicago.
Old dirty bluesy ZZ is the BEST!!!!!
Their 2022 gigs had a must have a vax policy. This performance doesn’t age well.
Another one who thinks refusing to wear a mask and get vaccinated during a pandemic is fighting fascism.😂 Read a book or something.
They’re anti imperialism, not anti Science buddy
@jonm7what booster are you on? Try reading new info.
@@Staffmutt253 It's funny that I'm still alive.
One of the most over rated bands of that era. Tim Commerford and Brad Wilks are the engine that was this band. Zack is a woke pos.
