My dad was a maintenance man for these apartments back in 2005. He found this CD in one of the houses he had to clean out and gave it to me. I was 10 years old. Now im 26,,, Thankfull he gave it to me. Love you dad
Are those the requirements for a good song these days? An "ok" bass intro and an experimental guitar solo? I'd much rather applaud the rest of the recording.
@@Wubzy66 it was deep when I was 14 too...wait til you're 30. Rage is one of the most thought-provoking bands, not just since then, but likely ever. "There's a mass without roofs; there's a prison to fill. There's a country's soul that reads, "post no bills". There's a strike, and a line of cops, outside of the Mill. There's a right to obey, And a right to kill."
RATM are paraphrasing Mumia Abu Jamal: "Conventional wisdom would have one believe that it is insane to resist this, the mightiest of empires. But what history really shows is that today's empire is tomorrow's ashes, that nothing lasts forever, and that to not resist is to acquiesce in your own oppression. The greatest form of sanity that anyone can exercise is to resist that force that is trying to repress, oppress, and fight down the human spirit."
"There's a mass without roofs, a prison to fill. There's a country's soul that reads post no bills. There's a strike and a line of cops outside of the mill. There's a right to obey and a right to kill" Goddamn I love that line
The album to be honest isn't that good, seems cobbled together, and the singles struck me as formulaic. This, however, is probably their best song. Mic Check is also really good.
@@justinholland9844 You must be kidding? I don't like any metal bands or any other rap or hip hop bands but this is awesome. Nothing comes close to what these guys do, again and again. I made a compilation from the 3 albums I have, as much as I could fit on a CD. It's also now a playlist on my TH-cam channel. The first 7 tunes are from The Battle Of L.A. 1 - Testify 2 - Guerilla Radio 3 - Calm Like A Bomb 4 - Sleep Now In The Fire 5 - Born Of A Broken Man 6 - New Millennium Homes 7 - No Shelter 8 - Bombtrack 9 - Pistol Grip Pump 10 - Take The Power Back 11 - Renegades Of Funk 12 - Bullet In The Head 13 - I'm Housin' 14 - Know Your Enemy 15 - How I Could Just Kill A Man 16 - The Ghost Of Tom Joad 17 - Maggie's Farm
If you let anyone read their lyrics without the music, especially to non RATM fans and to non rock fans, their reactions range from 'Holy shit this is relevant as hell' to 'Hit me like a bomb', with 'Whoever wrote this is here to stay for a very long time as long as human corruption exist.' It's genuine, true and beautiful.
First heard this on a kerrang cd around 99/2000 when I was just a teenager. Absolutely iconic & never been more relevant than the times in which we live now.

I'm here because I heard matrix resurrection was just announced. Had to listen to this banger again for the hype. I remember hearing this in theatres at the end of reloaded. Fucking legendary
I have a feeling that groups like Rage & Public Enemy,Run the Jewels,NWA & Cube & a few others who I can’t quite think of at the moment are gonna be the soundtrack to the apocalypse
Its funny how we can all listen to this type of music and jam out and feel vindicated through the words of someone saying something through music, but the second someone starts talking like this in real life the same people would become afraid of someone saying it for real.
This ain't subliminal Feel tha critical mass approach horizon Tha pulse of tha condemned Sound off America's demise Tha anti-myth rhythm rock shocker Yes I spit fire Hope lies in tha smoldering rubble of empires Yes back through tha shanties and tha cities remains...
I hope your friend rests in peace. My brother too, he took his life 11/30/2021 and these were the last lyrics he posted on his Instagram, so I looked them up, and I'm here. I feel like I'm listening with him too 🥺 I'm sorry for your loss 💔
The song was such a brilliant and excellent choice for The Matrix Reloaded ending credits as of today I can't help but smile as it strikes up nostalgia as it brings back special childhood memories and moments that I endure joy and happiness as it makes me cherished and loved them forever. 😍💯😎👍😏😩
My buddy's first car was an old new yorker. It was old as shit but clean plus he was a gear head so he took care of it. We blasted this CD while smoking so much weed. Thought we seen a UFO one night. Lol.
My dad was a maintenance man for these apartments back in 2005. He found this CD in one of the houses he had to clean out and gave it to me. I was 10 years old. Now im 26,,, Thankfull he gave it to me. Love you dad
“This is the native son, born of Zapata’s guns.”🤝
Wow. Incredible. Bad ass stuff right there.
Wow awesomeness
@Jonah, why you got to make me feel super old? 😂
Also be thankful to whoever left it behind to spread the word!
This is one of their best songs. That killer bass intro and then the guitar solo sounds like an UFO is landing over your rooftop
Underrated com
THIS. i've been trying to describe that solo so many times and failed, until i read this comment
Are those the requirements for a good song these days? An "ok" bass intro and an experimental guitar solo? I'd much rather applaud the rest of the recording.
This, Vietnow, and Ghost of Tom Joad!
ya that solo blows it over the top imho #1 for me
we need this energy in these times
We can bring it back yall
Big facts. I never listened to them but oh man can I relate to the energy when I started listening recently this week
@DroAndro-ks1jm i been feeling this music for 20 yrs it never gets old buddy
Seems like a CEO just got some of this energy
@EzraFWelsh jurassatol by filter has some good energy dude

"Hope lies in the smoldering rubble of empires."

Nah that power only lasts until the dictator emerges. I love the music but the political discourse is Nihilistic

Yes, it's rather dystopian though.
@@annalisavajda252 of course it is, hes singing about the world. We've been dystopic for a while now in a lot of ways
This is probably one of my favorite songs on the whole album.
Matrix album?
This and first full of steel bc they truly are feminists at heart.

He certainly expanded how the guitar can be used.
It's the best mashup of a DJ and a guitar!
@@gratefulmind5288 ikr!
He was majorly influenced by Vernon Reid from Living Colour.
Listen to Kashmir by Led Zep, influence right there
One of the best band...
Insane bass...
Freaking INSANE lead...
Tim is prolly my fave although it's hard to choose a fave RATM.
BEST
🤔📡Blasting (Tom)across your 👽🤖’sneighborhood to a vegan word.
🙏☯️💯
Tom the bomb
I feel like there has never been a time in history where their music has been more relevant than now. Change my mind.
The rage against the machine is timeless.
this music has always been relevant, its just easier to see with the internet
I can't because I agree.these guys were so ahead of their time. They were woke back then when everybody else was asleep
in capitalism, its alway time to this song. Its always gonna be relevant to the masses
@@eduardofernandes9243 yep that's why if they got together tonight and had a concert that bitch we would be rocking.i would just hope I'm there
Never gets old, and I'm 40, which means I been listening for almost 30 years!!!
gg
Me too 😂
The battle of Germany goes on✌️
👌.... 50 here!... almost 40 years of Rage! 🤘😄🤘😄🤘😄
@@matthewrice3432 they have been around for 30 / 31 years so no.
My odometer starts with a 6. Love RATM.
Heard this in the 2nd Matrix movie during the credits
This kicks ass
Me too! Just now
me too 2 days ago! would be cool if we watched at the same time@@hassandawudi4810
@@hassandawudi4810 it's incredible
Same.
The soundtrack albums from the Matrix movies are excellent.
My favorite Song of RATM. Greetings from Brazil. Rage forever.
Obregado from the USA
Born a broken man too.RAGE
🔥❤
All love from Canada
same thing here
I love that this band is not just for entertainment like others, but that they bring inspiration to change things for the better.
Not everyone’s cup of tea, but RATM was one hell of a band. Always fired on all cylinders.
i just don't understand whats to dislike unless you are a bigot.
@@ctrlaltdel64 maybe the music bro it is quite heavy rock
Rage has been everyone's cup of tea until the woke nationalist discovered they were a left band. fake outrage from the aIt right cogs
I wish my cup of tea hit this hard 😂
If you let anyone read their lyrics without the music, especially to non RATM fans and to non rock fans, their reactions range from 'Holy shit this is relevant as hell' to 'Hit me like a bomb', with 'Whoever wrote this is here to stay for a very long time as long as human corruption exist.'

My sister introduced me to this band when I was in Middle School back in 2000 and I've been liking them ever since
Hope you thanked your sister
Bass line freakin' amazing!
YEAH
Tim is freaking great and needs more attention.
@@mariovomhof2775 I was just going to comment that Tim is so underrated then I saw you saying that haha
Fucking for real!
Rick Beato did a “10 best bass intros” and this wasn’t included. I complained.
I'm here because today the message of this song is more important than ever
It hasn’t gotten any better either.
this production slaps so hard
Saw one of they last shows when this came out. Held the test of time more than most
All the 2000’s energy! I listened to RATM tons back them, especially after seeing all the Matrix movies.
This is a song you never want to end
Guts!
One of their best songs
This is the song that got me into RATM. Unashamed.
"Feel the funk blast" wow, such powerful stuff.
First heard this on a kerrang cd around 99/2000 when I was just a teenager. Absolutely iconic & never been more relevant than the times in which we live now.
Feel the funk blast

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, check it out, yo, yo, yo
I be walkin' god like a dog, my narrative, fearless
My word war returns to burn like Baldwin home from Paris
Like Steel from a furnace, I was born landless
This is the native son, born of Zapata's guns
Stroll through the shanties and the cities remains
Same bodies buried hungry but with different last names
These vultures rob everything leave nothing but chains
Pick a point on the globe! Yes, the picture's the same
There's a bank, there's a church, a myth and a hearse
A mall and a loan, a child dead at birth
There's a widow pig parrot, a rebel to tame
A white-hooded judge, a syringe and a vein
And the riot be the rhyme of the unheard
What ya say, what ya say, what ya say, what?

The pulse of the condemned, sound off America's demise

Hope lies in the smoldering rubble of empires
Yes back through the shanties and the cities remains
The same bodies buried hungry, but with different last names
Them vultures robbin' everyone, leave nothing but chains
Pick a point here at home, yes the picture's the same
There's a field full of slaves, some corn and some debt
There's a ditch full of bodies, the check for the rent
There's a tap, the phone, the silence of stone
The numb black screen that be feelin' like home

Here's my dumb ass thinking he was saying, "Be nice, be nice, be nice," instead of, "Ignite, ignite, ignite."
Those tom drums sound just perfect in the chorus
An unbelievable message paired with an absolutely unreal ensemble of true artists. ...and almost all lost in ticket prices.
Found this album at a yard sale sale in a tiny town we happened to be visiting. McCall ID. Changed my life.
Bass line FLAMING
39 years old been listening since I was 13-14 years old, still listening today
The Matrix Reloaded! Yes Sir!!
We need this song right now.
"Let the riot be the rhyme of the unheard...."
Mostly peaceful
Referencing a MLK line - love it.
Little did these guys know we would need them now more than ever, much love to the RATM crew💣
I'm here because I heard matrix resurrection was just announced. Had to listen to this banger again for the hype. I remember hearing this in theatres at the end of reloaded. Fucking legendary
I was a projectionist for IMAX at the time. Oh, the memories up in the booth during the credits. Son, it was on fiyahhhhhhhhh 🔥🔥🔥
Yooo same haha
Matrix Resurrection gonna be very tite.

This song is so relevant now sometimes

Bumping from Australia 🇦🇺💣💣💣
This truly an amazing song..... RATM play it LOUD!!!!!!!👊👊👊
How dose Tom do that sound at 3:27
The song was absolutely and positivity constructed perfectly from the very beginning to the end. 😍😎💯👍😏
