"Can't WASTE the DAY when the NIGHT BRINGS a HEARSE." I remember the very first time Zach stabbed that line through my impressionable eardrums 26 years ago. And still, one thousand times later, it never goes stale, it's never outdated, never outta style, it cuts through razor sharp and demands you not waste a second. It still gives me the same sense of urgency in 2022, as I got at 12 years old, in 1996.
Listen to testify. Not enough people woke up to reality when these guys were in the game. They were so far out in front of what was happening it’s insane.
“So now I’m rolling down Rodeo with a shotgun. These people ain’t seen a brown skinned man since their grandparents bought one” is one of the hardest hitting upper cuts that a song has ever opened with. Absolutely amazing band.
Rage really surprised me with this track. Same thing with Born Of A Broken Man off Battle... Simply put, extremely clever songwriting coupled with stellar performances in front of and behind the controls...
honestly, front to back, evil empire might be their best work. wish Zach would get his shit together and just start making music with these guys again.
I have a cassette when I was as young as I can remember from my dad, it has a bunch of rage against the machine tracks on both sides and its some of my earliest memories, I still get pumped listening to any of their albums today.
I cant think of a single time RATM has played a major chord except for in this song, and its honestly the best thing ive ever heard. That intro is just so badass.
Its 2:38 a.m. and I can't sleep. Lifting dumbells helps but not as much as playing this song on repeat for an hour. I think RATM just gained another die hard fan... 😤#RAGE2K21

I would suggest their 1993 Pinkpop set (look for the longest version). In their prime... you could power a city with amount of energy these guys put out. With almost studio qaulity on a live stage!

Im a rage fan till now even when they no longer together. Heard their bombtrack album waayyy back when im in my teens and at times i do listen to all their albums till now... Btw im 48 yrs old now 😂😂😂
I did not hear that bass that got dirty as fuck at about 2:45 when I was a kid - that line is nasty - glad that this keeps on providing inspiration & overall testicular fortitude.
I remember blasting this track in my caseete player while driving back in 99, then hit the car in front of me I was 17, stupid loving RATM, I was terrified of the song after ha!
you know, I've always wondered this but never really delved into it. Do you think the "Just a quiet peaceful dance" line was a reference to the relation between slaves and Capoeira? If it was, then that is even more fire!
I’m 11 years old almost 12 and I bleed my ears out with this song. I listen to it repeatedly every day. This song hits hard🔥 This has been my favorite song since I have heard it!
I always thought the album cover image was Rob Lowe. I remember being 8 or 9 when this album came out and looking at it in the mall on display. Few years later i was in a cinema watching "Black Sheep" and soon as i seen Rob Lowe i was like thats the guy from the RATM cover! I also witnessed Nirvana's MTV world premiere of Heart shaped Box. Imagine being 8 years old and watching that video.... Lol
I've jammed this since it cam out and only months ago realized that "fuck the g ride i want the machines that are makin em" was talking about seizing the means of production.
Probably because you just learned the definition of "means of production". You'll always just be a consumer. You are not a revolutionary and listening to this garbage won't change that.
The song addresses social inequality between the rich and poor of America, and the simmering class warfare that existed in the band’s home city of Los Angeles following the 1992 Los Angeles Riots. “Down Rodeo” was written just three years after six days of riots were sparked by police violence against minorities in the city.

Tim Commerford is one of the most underrated bassists of all time.

Criminally underrated grasp of groove
@@suzuyajuuzou8235 As a bass player I agree.
The rhythm section in general is underrated
"plead the fifth 'cause ya can't plead the first" is such a good line, the lyrics in this song are unmatched.

What's up pierce 😮
"can't waste the day when the night brings a hearse" is one of the most profound ever.

It almost sounds like a mainstream alternative riff, and then comes in the signature dirty RATM guitar riffs + Zach.

What Tom Morello makes with guitar is just mind ear body blowing thing. HOW?! Just HOW did he come up with these ideas?
Tom Morello is not nearly a good guitarist as ppl think… listen to some Virtuoso guitar players from BTBAM.

"Rage For The Machine".
Sellouts.
