Thich Quang Duc was a Vietnamese Mahayana Buddhist monk who immolated himself on 11 June 1963. He was protesting against the persecution of Buddhists by the South Vietnamese government led by Ngo Dinh Diem. The immolation was considered to be an act of defiance against a corrupt government.. now don't get any self immolation ideas xD
There is some truth to that. Most liberal/democratic run cities and states you can't go outside without their governments approval.... But not all of America is like that. I live in FL BTW and I'm horrified at the "camps" and "detainment centers" being built in AUS first. Now in NY.
Fun Fact: The cover features a photo of the self-immolation of Thích Quảng Đức, a Vietnamese Buddhist monk, in Saigon in 1963. The monk was protesting President Ngô Đình Diệm's administration for oppressing the Buddhist religion, during the Vietnam War
I'm bought this album in 92 when I was seventeen. Always worshipped their musicianship. The world doesn't need an group that's earnt over half a billion dollars larping as communists just because they didn't learn about the great purge and the Holodomor at school.
Such a masterpiece, I get chills after Maynard's primal yell . Then Tom's comes in with this guitar solo which sounds like a demented super Nintendo track epic.
@@Ronn_V Maynard is in the song 2:40-3:12. If you look around you can find videos in the early 90's where Maynard comes out and sings with Rage against the machine.
This is my favorite song by Rage, I've heard it a million times. Always told myself, "Damn, De La Rocha sounds like Maynard with that scream." (Your time has come to pay). I listened to this just now for the first time with a noice noise cancelling headset, a safety meeting with Mary Jane, and I realized that's actually Maynard Keenan James on the track. Mind Blown. Love this song even more now.

It's happened again. This place is so fucked. I wish they'd listened years ago, if not to us, than to people who had seen the rise of fascism in their home nations and the similarity in ours.

Jesus still my favorite song after 20 years!!! Daughter won't ride in my truck again when I play this!!! Haha asked me when I started listening to rap. Haha
Tom Morello is a genius. His guitar set up was minimal. He used allen wrenches to make those turntable scratch sounds. He used an Autowah. A genius with the pickup switch.
As a music theorist and electric bassist I love how the bass takes up a counter melody at 3:17 similar to the background during the main verses in the earlier sections.

At my high school there was a talent show back in '96 (i think) and 4 of my classmates played this. I wish I had it on video. I hadn't heard RATM at the time and it blew most kids brains. At least one of them is still in a local touring band. They took out the minimal swearing, but the message came through loud & clear.

Love how it sounds almost like a full-on early Tool song as soon as Maynard comes in for the bridge, meanwhile still perfectly still fitting into the vibe of the song.

When they played the Old Idaho Territorial Prison I had a blue cast on my arm and I dropped the Joint Tom Morello was smoking with us. But everyone was grabbing at it and I had a cast and dropped it. It was not retrievable, I felt real bad, but Tom and everyone at the show could understand. That was the best concert I've ever been too. Thanks for getting together again to keep America Rocking in the Free World. The 🌍 needs your music, and it's really fun to hear you live. ☮️
Nah man. You are in the perfect time to be alive. Getting this music for free. Stay angry young buck. Don't take shit from any corporate or political overlord.

Teens these days think talent is flipping a bottle and it landing upright, even though it requires no talent whatsoever if you fill the bottle to 30%. Idiots...
Absolutely
I saw RATM live at the Barrowlands in Glasgow when I was 14!!! Absolutely one of the best memories of my life!
I would literally sell my balls and kidney to see them 😂😂
RAW BAD ASS MUSIC.
Damn, so lovey to hear James Maynard Keenan in the song!!
Good old Maynard in the background.
i listen to this almost everyday when things aren’t going my way, absolute rage🤟🏼
The way he screams “All of which are American Dreams” at the end. It’s some powerful shit.
When they played the Old Idaho Territorial Prison I had a blue cast on my arm and I dropped the Joint Tom Morello was smoking with us. But everyone was grabbing at it and I had a cast and dropped it. It was not retrievable, I felt real bad, but Tom and everyone at the show could understand. That was the best concert I've ever been too. Thanks for getting together again to keep America Rocking in the Free World. The 🌍 needs your music, and it's really fun to hear you live. ☮️
2:39 how old were you when you realized that this one here is Maynard from Tool?
Also, the background percussion at that same part is by Stephen Perkins of Jane's addiction
I was 14, in 1993 when I knew it.
When I heard the scream.
I was 18... it was today
apparently 14 - today
I was born in 07 and really wish I was around when this album was released. LOVE this song. Keep on Rocking RATM!
Nah man. You are in the perfect time to be alive. Getting this music for free. Stay angry young buck. Don't take shit from any corporate or political overlord.
My mom and I rock out to this entire album in her car
'Cause I'll rip the mic, rip the stage, rip the system
I was born to rage against 'em
Fist in ya face in the place and I'll drop the style clearly
Know your enemy!
