One of my favorite things about watching rap fans react to Bulls on Parade, is seeing the realization that, not only is Zach a rapper, but he might be one of the best they’ve ever heard.
This song is about the military industrial complex. ALL of Rage’s songs are political. They’ve got mad knowledge to drop. The music is rock, but Zack is an MC, BARZ!!!!!!
After 9 11 there was a ban on individual songs by a bunch of artists... there was a full ban on all rage against the machines along with the individual songs. The ban wasn't long and only applied to the radio.
Unfortunately once people hear that lyric then they totally missed the one right after which I feel is more important arms warehouses fill as quick as the cell
@@cloepoole6663 I think you have it reversed on which one is more important. The Arms warehouses happen because of the corruption of those who would burn (remove) books.
@@cliveklg7739I understand that but knowledge and information can still be recorded and shared without official published works, I identify closely with anarchism so I hate the whole hierarchal bs, not saying that books aren't important it's just they are not the only avenue we have to record and store information.
@@cloepoole6663 You realize the state can shut down what gets shared on the internet as well. That information is critical to stand up to the state. Again the burning, removing off the shelves is exactly how the state makes the serfs (that is all we are to the rich) ignorant and easier to control. And that make them having those warehouses of arms easier. Just because that information is available now doesn't mean they won't burn/ban it in the future. And it will be harder and harder to find the truth when it happens as it already is now.
"Is he singing or rapping?" Zack is dropping truth bomb after truth bomb, right on top of our heads! The power and straight-forward raw nature of this band is beyond reproach; and Tom Morello is one of the bravest rock guitarists I have ever heard, the guitar solo is him just scratching and wiping the strings, no fancy scales and arpeggios, he's not competing, he already won the sonic guitar game, by the same broken rules of rock and roll and hip hop! Yes, they were banned, they were likely "spooked" out of continuing their mission by the very powers that be that hired them to rile up the youth for a few $$$ in the first place...epic!
As much as I love rage, I dont think they were spooked out of anything. Thats absurd, these guys don't know how to just abide. You do the same thing for almost 25 years and you're gonna wanna evolve and do the next thing. Its safe to assume they just wanted to do something else and not completely focus on touring non stop.
Haha!! Love it!! From someone who's been a RAGE fan for SO many years, I'm always shocked that people haven't heard these tunes. Dude, you've got a long, wild journey ahead into the RAGE library. I'll be out here watching and enjoying your reactions of you enjoying the music. Keep em' coming!🤘 'Down Rodeo', 'Killing In The Name' are just a couple.
People haven't heard these because Rage was the only group to have their entire discography banned from public radio after 9/11 and before the internet was everything. So happy I found this corner of youtube. I was 12 when the first album came out. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻✊️❤️
“Rally around the family” was a Republican slogan in the 90’s, inferring that they were the party of family values. Unfortunately, Rage Against the Machine was reminding us that they are also the political party responsible for keeping wars/money moving…so the chorus is “Rally Around the Family……..with a pocket full of shells”
Check out Down Rodeo next. In the video they perform in front of the NYSE after being told they couldn't and their director got arrested. They've been banned from several places and shows as well.
So much truth in the lyrics. The symbolism in this video requires a few watches. LA Riots were happening. Bulls on Parade was what people yelled when SWAT showed in full gear.
Something I've always wondered, what would Hendrix have made of Tom Morello's solo, to this track? I think it would've blown his mind. :) You ask about being banned, I don't know, I could google it and pretend to be knowledgeable. I think people are banned more these days, for free speech, than back then. Sure people said bad thing, much more, in the 90s but free speech isn't banning things you don't like or are wrong. If you do that, it just makes it worse. Intollerance, racism, sexism, bigotry, hate needs to have its free speech so that it can be seen, shamed, ridiculed and destroyed!
I bought this album in 96 and remember hearing bulls on parade, testify, and “killing in the name of” on the radio edited for swear words only. So as far as I know, no they weren’t banned.
Never hold back speaking your mind JB, that's one of the reasons we all love you. All Rage is heat just like this was, rap/rock like no other band could come close to touching in my opinion. Try "Know Your Enemy" or "Wake Up" with lyrics handy next.
Those red flags in the video aren't just there for contrast. Guitarist Tom Morello has a degree in political science and he and his bandmates describe themselves as leftists, primarily Socialists. Strong social criticism is to be expected from them.
They were the Christmas number one song in England for the song killing in the name as a protest against the formulaic boy bands that were being mass produced by shows like X factor and got talent. We’re asked in their performance not to play the end of the song for language in it, but they kept it real, and got cut off in the live feed citing “technical difficulties “
They had some hall of fame numbers on their concerts but you wont hear them ofter guess why.. there are some clips that you see them perfoming in front of a see of people its insane.

Band from the MTV awards. I love it when people become awake and open their eyes I too became a fan along time ago.

I was there!!!
"They don't gotta burn the books, they just remove 'em" Sadly going on now.

Tom Morello “scratchin” on the guitar. Love it every time!

Banned on SNL after their first song. RATM is iconic.
Banned from radio after 9/11
That 2nd verse in an all timer
Check out Down Rodeo next. In the video they perform in front of the NYSE after being told they couldn't and their director got arrested. They've been banned from several places and shows as well.
Check out more...Down Rodeo; Renegades of Funk; Guerrilla Radio to name a few. 🔥🔥
Omg this made my cry laughing @ 1.55. The expression was priceless. Love the reaction and recommend lyrics on for any future Rage reactions 👍
So much truth in the lyrics. The symbolism in this video requires a few watches. LA Riots were happening. Bulls on Parade was what people yelled when SWAT showed in full gear.
"Know Your Enemy" would be great for you! It features Maynard from Tool!!
More Rage, please James! Love them ❤️

Hendrix woulda loved every second of this, he'd know kids have been payin attention 😂
Great reaction video brother. Loved it.
I bought this album in 96 and remember hearing bulls on parade, testify, and “killing in the name of” on the radio edited for swear words only. So as far as I know, no they weren’t banned.
The guitar and bass its amazing
Down Rodeo ,know your enemy , testify , renegades of funk. Guerilla radio , I could keep going
Good react, man, one of my all-time favorite bands

Yeah those 2 are certified bangers 🤘
Just remember to analyze who really is your "our" enemy.
Love this!
So glad for this reaction!! Love this song!
✌❤
Zach is a rap god! Check out Ju$t by Run the Jewels and CIA by KRS-One to hear him MCing like a boss.
Down Rodeo. Take the Power Back. Wake Up. Testify. These are the songs you should listen to.
Those red flags in the video aren't just there for contrast. Guitarist Tom Morello has a degree in political science and he and his bandmates describe themselves as leftists, primarily Socialists. Strong social criticism is to be expected from them.
Wake Up and Know Your Enemy are musts
They played live on BBC once and were told not to swear....you should look for yourself about how that went down. Lol
✊🏾
they had a song in guitar hero 2, and the credits song in the matrix
They were the Christmas number one song in England for the song killing in the name as a protest against the formulaic boy bands that were being mass produced by shows like X factor and got talent. We’re asked in their performance not to play the end of the song for language in it, but they kept it real, and got cut off in the live feed citing “technical difficulties “
I checked them headlining in Indy at deer park with an opening band named the wu tang clan.
Nice one, JB!
Rap Rock
Down Rodeo my dude. I tell you
They had some hall of fame numbers on their concerts but you wont hear them ofter guess why.. there are some clips that you see them perfoming in front of a see of people its insane.
You gotta do “down rodeo” next!
Try their song Freedom Great tune
I know you love the words in the songs man and if your looking foe great poetry in songs listen to some more of the doors especially the end
