What else should we react to? 🤔 Also if you guys like the song in the intro it’s called 2084 (like Orwell’s 1984). You can stream it on my new album now 🤟 hypeddit.com/knoxhill/butterflyeffect
All ur songs have been 🔥 so far. Awesome job
Do “Down Rodeo” by rage against the machine. I think youd have some fun with the lyricism in that one
I would love to see you breaking down the bars of Childish Gambinos "Freaks and Geeks" or "Bonfire"
Or maybe a reaction to Flowsik
Two songs immediately come to mind
For Metal Mondays: Sonata Arctica - Replica (1999)
For Oldschool German HipHop : Die Fantastischen Vier - Die Da (1992)
Lose yourself scratch version for Mathers day bro I just found this song like an hour ago everything he spit is fire!
The best part about RATM is the lyrics are still relevant. The worst thing about RATM is their lyrics are still relevant.
Facts, sadly!
ALL OF THIS!!!!
Well said 😅😭
It's kinda the worst part of our society. You can't blame RATM for pointing out how we suck as a species.
They're establishment cucks now. Their lyrics have balls, they don't.
Lemme tell you, there is NOTHING like being in the crowd with everyone screaming "F-you, I won't do what you tell me!" all in unison ... goosebumps++++
Lollapalooza at Portland Meadows, 1993. Completely blew my mind. Zac was telling the crowd in between songs that all the merch was a scam by the promoters and that people should not buy RATM shirts, just write the band's name with a marker on a shirt they already owned. So on-brand for the band and such an incredible performance.
the irony 😂
maple leaf gardens, toronto, 1999. RIGHT!?!?!??!
I think “fuck the police” would be pretty much the same
13:06 - the single greatest use of the word motherfucker in music history, you can just feel the anger in his voice, it's like he just NEEDED to get that word out of his system
One of my fave RATM moments is when people in the UK were so sick of the X-Factor winning song being requested on the radio that they called in droves to request this song. And won. Brilliant.
Yup. We did. We actually created a resurgence and made it Xmas Number 1 in 2009.
So many people bought a copy that it got Christmas number 1 and they swore on live TV 😂 two big things back then
On top of that, the resurgence also got them invited to do a live performance of it on the radio where they were asked to censor the last segment, so Zack just left a pause where the 'fuck you' normally goes... for the first three repeats of the line, before singing it uncensored... because fuck you I won't do what you tell me.
Simon Cowell won anyway
It was an awesome moment, Xmas number 1 😂
So glad to be a part of it.
Got so many copies just like I did with Ren when he was after number 1.
The world needs shit like this.
Please do more Rage!!!!!🔥🔥🔥 They are HEAVILY influenced by HIP HOP. Renegades Of Funk, Born Of A Broken Man, Down Rodeo, Wake Up, Bullet In Da Head, Bulls On Parade, Fistful of Steel, Take The Power Back, Freedom..etc. LOTS of 🔥 songs
yes pls! I'd love to watch Knox do all of these
Know Your Enemy
@@thomasfosterjr.5247 yes of course..thank u 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Yeah. I even think Killing in the name is one of their weakest songs.
@@Thequillss I agree
Tom Morello is an absolute guitar legend and a legit Harvard graduate!!!!
I’ve loved them since the beginning. I was a teenager and they were a huge influence in ways that I still am today. 🖤
👏🤩Hoffman you are speaking for me personally and millions of Fans with this comment
AMEN! I was brought on board, when my college roommate lent me Evil Empire, my first live show with them was Wu Tang Opening for them in 97' word cant convey how insane that show was.
You definitely need to do more Rage. He is a legit rapper with one of the most interesting flows out there and super thought provoking lyrics. Actually kind of shocked that you've done so many Metal Mondays and haven't done more Rage.
The passion he brings is what sets him above the rest for me.
It wasn't uncommon for dude to bring himself to tears during live performances. Shit gives me goosebumps.
One of the single most cathartic experiences of my life was seeing Prophets of Rage perform this at Riot Fest in 2017 (the musicians from Rage + Chuck D and B Real on vocals). Surrounded by thousands of people all jumping and screaming "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me" was amazing. The entire weekend was electric. There was so much fresh anger and frustration being vented, and such a feeling of community.
Fun fact: during live performances Zack will sometimes substitute “some of those that work forces, are the same that burn churches” into the main verse
This song goes hard but man it’s depressing how this song continues to be relevant
I've also heard him substitute "some of those who hold office are the same that burn crosses" in the 2nd verse
Yup
He has also used the line “some of those that burn crosses are the same that hold office”
Wow. I really need to get more into this band. I know two songs, I've been listening to them since I was a teen, but this is kinda what I really need right now. Some purpose, or something. To listen to more of the important messages they put out there.
@@Zinetha both u and Knox Hill utube Music Grammy's Rage Against Machine... 👀♥️ Music 🎶
They played Ottawa last summer. They sang "some of those that run office are the same that burn crosses". Loved that.
Zach has bars. I love this track as a rock banger but their other work is where he really shines
Agreed. Testify and Bomb Track are 2 of the best that come to mind
@@justjasontm bulls on parade to me is just crazy bruh, hope he react to that one in the future.
@@XOTheHosttt yesss!
"Know your enemy" is the best for me
No Shelter and People of the Sun
It’d be cool to see Tom react to this, cause Knox is nailing every element so effectively
he'd probably be a little annoyed seeing him talk about tom macdonald that grifter
RATM are so unique. Never been a band b4 or after like them.
Check Fever 333. Found them accidentally at one music festival. They have the same energy and the same passion, bit different style. Start with One of us, and then go where research leads you if you like the first. o7
This band changed the way I looked at the world... I knew you would get to them sooner or later.. Zack is a militant poet for the unheard masses. Every song is a history lesson.. Us Ragers have lots of facts.. First MVS are good but to get the truth of what they're saying you need lyric videos.. I remember when they came out Knox in 91/92 been a Rager since.. This was written about the Rodney King police batting and the subsequent acquittal of those cops, which sparked the LA riots and in turn uncovered and exposed the corrupt hiring practices of the LAPD..🤘😎❤️ and I absolutely loved your breakdown.. Next up should be bullet in the head,down rodeo, take the power back, fistful of steel... I mean every songs a banger... One of these most underrated secret MC around.. I'm so glad you did this❤️❤️
As a laugh check out the short clip when BBC asked rage to play live without swearing. Goes as well as you'd think lol
Seen that. They shouldn't have asked RATM to perform if they didn't want cussing. BBC =DUMBASSES.
This song was Christmas #1 in the song charts in the UK in 2009 😁
If you haven’t, you GOTTA check out Down Rodeo by RATM lyric video. As a rap guy and someone who appreciates going hard and doubles and triples, you’ll love it. Genius level stuff.
The wedding music line 😅 I literally laughed out loud!
The first time I heard this song was when the venue was playing background music before a NIN concert in 1992. I thought it was the Beastie Boys at first. I had never heard anything like it before! The fact that I still remember that should be an indicator of how powerful RATM is.
Epic
I love the live version from The Battle pf Mexico City, because they change up the second verse to be, "Some of those that burn crosses, are the same that hold office." Which has prpbably always been true post-Civil War. but was especially true back then when Strom Thurmond (a known Klansman) and Jesse Helms (a man who made his name opposing the Civil Rights Act) were still alive and kicking.
Stumbled across this channel after seeing your Metallica break down, the way you dive into the meaning behind the lyrics and the music is awesome, by far the best reaction vids, keep it up man.
Knox, your reactions are always god-tier. Your lyrics breakdown is so spot on EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
I'm going to request Killswitch Engage on every METAL MONDAY video until you do them.
Twenty-ish yrs ago, that song both brought me to hip hop and made me learn guitar
Oh Snaps
You should do a whole rage against the machine day series!
💯 agree
Can’t wait for the ‘Take The Power Back’ reaction!
I think you'd get a LOT from RATM, Knox! I'd definitely recommend Bullet In My Head and Bulls On Parade if you haven't heard those ones before (I know you said in your intro you've heard Rage before!) - if you check out the latter, check out Denzel Curry's live cover version too, I've never been a huge rap fan but Denzel went UP in my book after that one - he BROUGHT it :D
I saw Rage live in the late '90s and legitimately could not hear much of anything with my left ear for several days. Unreal concert, incredible band. Just think how much he said with so few lyrics.
Zack’s most Hip Hop track is with Krs One and The Last Emperor it’s called “CIA (Criminals in action)”. Zack is a real MC. Check it out if you haven’t heard it I don’t know if the rage fans know it either.
Love Rage!!!! Would love to see you do Sleep now in the Fire. ❤️
Tom is a guitar wizard! His solo’s never get old
Yes he is
Such an unorthodox playing style, love it
I kicked his ass on guitar hero, Tom morello ain't shit lol I did have to turn the difficulty down to medium though.......
@@canadianguy-nl1xw 😂🤣
*solos
OMFG., shout out to you Knox for reacting to metal genre. I might be obsessed with Eminem cause i don't miss any of your reaction to Em's song but gotta say i am a proud metalhead and i am so happy i got to see you doing this. Hope you do all the legends of metal like Pantera, Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold and so on. I gurantee it will sky rocket your channel. Love it man. Deepest respect❤️🤘
Love Killing In The Name, but it is by far there simplest song lyrically. Down Rodeo (Rodeo Drive, not Yee Haw) is what everyone wants to see a reaction to. And Mic Check is criminally underrated. Also worth checking Zachs work with Run The Jewels (Close Your Eyes and Ju$t), and C.I.A (Criminals in Action)
I've known this song since it came out.... and I am today years old and just got the full explanation of the song and I'm blown away!
So many good rage songs to choose from. Hope you do more
Bottom line
One of the bands I grew up listening to
Down rodeo is also a bomb rage song
Cool reaction. You should check out one of Rage's songs that show off one of their more lyrical songs. ie. Bulls on Parade, Bombtrack, Rodeo, Know Your Enemy. #TOOL #HOG #RATM
Man you actually do research on all this and it shows. Thank you for putting in time and effort to decoding the message rather than just another video of someone rocking out and then being like "that was cool and good and I liked it 😀 "
This brings back so many memories. Started 6th form college, started going out drinking and dancing. World of possibilities in front of me
That was brilliantly explained. Thank you for taking a few moments to investigate the context beforehand. ❤ It really sets you apart from a lot of more casual reaction channels.
omg so excited you did this song!! PS I recently added all your Spotify music to my phone! Love it!
Man, it's great to see you on the stuff I grew up with. Not gonna lie, I'm more of an Audioslave kinda guy. I got out of Rage Against the Machine as I grew up, even though I recognize their talent. Anyways, much love to ya, man, and good luck to your channel and music career.
Isn't Audioslave basically RATM with Chris instead of Zack?
@@Axys_0_Rex Yep. And one of my favorite groups from that decade. Especially that first self-titled album. Cornell could sing his booty off. And the rest of the band was extremely talented. Honestly preferred Audioslave over Soundgarden.
Ah you jest about having this song as a wedding song….we did! My husband and I love metal, as do all our friends. We made guests aware that after a certain time on the evening of the wedding reception metal music would be played by the DJ (giving older relatives the chance to leave before then if they chose). No one left. The dance floor was always packed and the wedding venue told us it was the best wedding they have hosted and were giving me and my husband free drinks all night and a bottle of champagne to go home with as all the staff had had a blast! ❤
Zack de la Rocha is such a gifted lyricist and performer. Great, thoughtful reaction! I love how thorough you were on this talking about the message, music and performance. I'm gonna need more Rage reactions, even if you've heard them all--you're just that good. If you haven't check out Zack's stuff with Run the Jewels.
So many people hear this song and don't understand the deep meaning of it. You really explained this song so well. Thank you!!
if you do end up doing another reaction to Rage Against The Machine, some tracks that show off Zach De La Rocha's rapping a little better include Bulls On Parade, Down Rodeo, Sleep Now In The Fire, Guerilla Radio, and Testify,
Us UK people got so sick of whoever the x factor winner was for the year getting a guaranteed Christmas no 1 hit, there was a movement to dethrone Simon Cowell and put this song at Christmas no 1 in 2009. It succeeded!
Love to see more rage against the machine Knox
After this reaction I should suggest 'Bullet with Butterfly Wings' by The Smashing Pumpkins.
More Rage please! Darkness, Down Rodeo, Bullet in the Head, Take The Power Back, Bulls on Parade
You need to react to Prophets of Rage - Un*uck The World. Not only the lyrics are really good and strong, but also it's a rock/rap supergroup with members of Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave, Public Enemy and Cypress Hill, which I think you might love as much as I do.
Great Reaction, I would like to request Architects Gone With The Wind
Still waiting for more Rage Against the Machine reactions, their lyrics are soo good. This may be the simplest song of theirs because the original demo was just an instrumental.
Love this song. I work in a prison and listen to it on the way into work. It gets me pumped up and reminds me that not everyone is in law enforcement to do the right thing.
The guitarist Tom Morello, plays guitar for Chris Cornell, RIP, and Audioslave.
Brother, you broke that down splendidly! You got it🎉🎉❤❤
in england this went to number 1 in charts at christmas as protest against reality show manufactored music in 2009
The funnest version of this song is the radio cut which is amazing that they would’ve even allowed it in the first place the radio or RATM
RATM deserves another reaction in this channel, I suggest you Down rodeo or maybe know your enemy with lyrics
Looking forward to this one!!!
11.31 yes, its definitely THE wedding song! 😂
Much love to Timmy C (the bassist) as he battles prostate cancer. show him some love.
you GOTTA DO MORE RAGE, your ability to analyze lyrics is impeccable and their songs are FULL OF MEANINGFUL PUNCHLINES AND METAPHORS. looking forward to more
No one:
Me, seeing Knox enjoy this video: 🥰🥰🥰🤘🤘🤘
Getting strong vibes of your song from the intro. Like you're singing about a future that comes from what RAtM is singing about.
Greatest Christmas song ever
Metal is all about an emotional outlet. A few bands I'd suggest are, KoRn, Falling In Reverse, I Prevail, Chaoseum, Linkin Park, Five Finger Death Punch, Disturbed, and of course, more Slipknot. These all fall into the nu metal genre, which is a mix of rap, rock, and metal.
You forgot Faith No More...otherwise tight list
@DerangedVoices
Hell yeah! Especially FiR and FFDP
5fpd is a must
@@charlesforay eh, they aren't horrible, but I don't really care for them. I only like three songs from them I think. So they are just meh to me. Sorry.
Your breakdown earned my sub and like. Thank you! After watching others gloss over the real meaning of this one, I truly appreciated!!!
Amazing commentaries!!!!!
"Down Rodeo" will blow your mind!!
He has no idea 😂
I love, love, love listening to your song reactions and the way you breakdown all throughout their very core :)
Hats down for one of the most brilliant and intelligent deep analysis to one of my all time fav songs 👏🤗✨️
Zach is FIRE with One Day as a Lion... Jon Theodore on the drums!!!!
Have you reacted to/ or did a break down on Aesop Rock? His lyricism is on a different level .
*Jinjer-Pisces*
"Wow Factor" nd its a Great Introduction to this Badass Band & Female Metal Vocalist that is a must on your metal journey 🤟💥
Knox Hill you got to react to XG tape #2 rap cypher, this is new , it lit. And on fire right now.
PLEASE do more Rage Against the Machine! You're a lyrics guy and no one pens verses quite like RATM. The messages are (sadly) still so relevant!
Oooo I like that leadin Knox!!! You just keep getting better!
Oh I been waiting for this!!
Disturbed- Down with the Sickness
Five Finger Death Punch- Wrong Side of Heaven
Like a Storm- Death by a Thousand Cuts
You have to do deftones next monday. They have some real good songs.
GOtta do Bulls on Parade, Down Rodeo, Know Your Enemy, Sleep Now In the Fire and Guerrella Radio!
Nice, next please do Bulls on parade or Bombtrack 🤘
More rap for you to break down ☺
The live version on TV when they told them to not perform the end of this song is EPIC. The FCC was shiting itself.
And it’s like…. Did the network read the lyrics at all? RATM were straight up saying what they were going to do 😂
How do I find that version?
@@GobiPup ELO's slightly misremembering it, in that this was on the BBC. For context, the winning song on X Factor in 1995 was so nauseatingly overplayed that the British started a grassroots campaign to get Killing in the Name Of to the top of the charts to force it to go the hell away. It worked, and RATM was invited to perform on the BBC in celebration.
Somebody, and I HAVE to imagine it was somebody who knew what they were doing, asked them to not say "fuck" during the final lines. And Zach didn't!
For the first three repetitions.
You can find the recording with "killing in the name of UK" on TH-cam. The panic in the BBC sound booth when, having been lulled into the false sense of security after three lines of no swearing, F-bombs suddenly start exploding around them, is _transcendent._
Reminds me of that bar Royce said “ Cops crooked, wearing swat stickers attending Nazi meetings “🔥
Oh wow! What a brilliant reaction!!🔥 You just got EVERYTHING all at once!
Happy New Year Knox and family.
Sad truth about America is that nothing changed,30 years later America still fighting racism,in Serbia,which I coming from,we didn't had any incidents with Racism,we are first country which removed slavery 1814, unfortunately, Americans still don't know how to deal with it...
check out temptation too! its sooo hype
Most Rage songs condemn oppression and injustice.
This song condemns white supremacy and police brutality. The lyrics were "Some of those who work (police) forces are the same who burn crosses" and "Those who died are justified, by wearing a badge (police) they're the chosen whites".
You should watch their live 1993 performance of this song. They absolutely KILL it in their live 1993 performance of this song.
Other Rage songs that also have a good message include:
- "Know Your Enemy" WITH lyrics (need the lyrics for that one)
- "The Ghost of Tom Joad" WITH lyrics (need the lyrics for that one)
- The official music video for "Bulls on Parade" (quite possibly their most famous song of all time)
- "Renegades of Funk"
Would absolutely love to see you react to Ren's new song "Hi Ren" Genuinely think you'd really enjoy it and take a deep dive into the lyrics.
Do a reaction to disturbed
It's even worse now in many ways. This song came out prior to the insane militarization of police in the aftermath of 9/11. Now we know for a fact that there are overtly racist gangs operating inside of the LA Sheriff's Dept. There have been revelations of online message boards for police departments, and Immigration officers which contain huge amounts of explicitly fascist, even pro-Nazi posts. Shit, I've watched who knows how many videos now of cops killing unarmed people. Nothing has changed.
I would love to see more RATM
WAKE UP, should be next up
Keep the RAGE coming good man
As a fan of RATM, I love the lyrics! They are timeless. It has everything to do with the intelligence of Zach (he has a PhD) and Tom's guitar work, but the bass and drums are fantastic. The entire band is a force of nature with the orchestration and the lyrics.
Did you know, it was Christmas No1 in the United Kingdom, and I was working as a radio dj at the time getting airplay and getting people to buy the track.
Speaking of relevant lyrics: "Rich Man's World 1%" by Immortal Technique should be next.
Guitarist Tom Morello went to high school with Tool's Adam Jones and they were buds.
My second concert was house of pain and Rage against the machine. My first concert was ice cube
67 y/o Black man, just subscribed. You get it… thanks.
