This is the 1st documentary ever that mentioned the Woodstock 99 ruckus and didn't feel the need to show Limp Bizkit playing a day earlier. Well done 🤘
the most lirically misunderstood band ever, most NA conservative boomers think they're just anarchist punks saying "money bad, break shit" but every sentence zack has ever spit on these songs, having an f bomb or not, is nothing but sums of intelligent activism based on history and political science. No band will ever come close to rage, listening to their songs is like reading a book that describes every way powerful people can and has oppressed you
Do you mean like Tom Morello taking to TWITTER to try and cancel a Seattle diner and it's owner because they refused to give the band VIP treatment over the existing customers that had been patiently waiting for entry? The same band that's sponsored by SONY? I'm no boomer but at this point I'd rather listen to conservative boomers instead you and sh!tty bands like Rage WITH the Machine.
They are complete sellouts who shill for democrats. You can not possibly be more hypocritical than to perform their music at democrat party conventions
Yeah and now they side with the government who oppress people. When they play and dnc events they may be delusional enough to think they’re fighting the power, but they are fighting on behalf of the power and helping them take more of it away from the people
Tom Morello, as a musician, in the history of players and playing the electric guitar, created an original and iconic sound with this instrument that was never heard nor thought possible before. Morello will go down in the history of music for this, and it's a wonder the industry doesn't recognize his legendary contribution more, he deserves it! 👊
He’s not even a musical artist he doesn’t help with riffs or anything like that. He’s just a people person. It’s weird af. He has a good ear is about the best of his musical ability but he doesn’t create anything
I was in 12th grade when Battle of Los Angeles came out. During lunch hour I literally jogged downtown to the record store from my high school to buy that cd and I jogged back to school and I wasn't even late for my first afternoon class. Still one of my top ten albums ever.

This song came out when I was in my early teens. These guys lived through Rodney King and the riots. A lot of people felt so outraged at those events. The violence of racism has never before been so exposed so quickly and so widespread. On a personal note, this type of music, this song in particular, was inspirational to me. I struggled with an abusive childhood in which everyone around me in one way or another invalidated my emotions to continue the circle of abuse. I was told my feelings were not real or not ok. This genre of music with bands like Korn, Tool, Rage Against the Machine etc. brought me confidence that I was not alone in how I felt at times. That others felt the same types of helplessness and anger at being unable to control the things that happened to me in life. Because of having somewhere to turn to escape the darkness and despair of isolated hurt and sorrow and feeling so insignificant and worthless I found a strength that otherwise would have remained hidden too deeply within me to be of any use. Going to this music and turning it up loud and shouting the lyrics gave me the only safe place in which I had a voice to express how I felt. Yes, I even attended concerts and moshed myself into exhaustion many times. Now I am 43 years old. The trials of my past have created the best and most valuable of the characteristics I possess today. Despite a diagnosis of bi polar disorder at a very young age I am able to lead a happy and healthy life without medications. For well over a decade. I do no harm to the best of my ability and when I see a need in the world that I can meet I do so. To me that is the ultimate definition of success. I found out I am terminally I'll last year. Thought I had about another 4 more weeks from now to live. I have been fine with it. I have lived a great life and met wonderful people and got to experience so much. I do my best to not have things unsaid. Or regrets I don't address. Or apologies not given. For over 10 years I have worked at living this way. I am on an investigational drug that looks like it will give me 1 to 3 more years of life. So grateful for every moment. Been living 10 years grateful for every moment before I knew I was sick. This music saved my life. Suicide was a constant torment to me throughout adolescent years and it literally was music of so many different kinds that saved me. But it was the grungy, metal stuff that had me able to want to be saved. Glad to hear you guys recognize how talented in the technical aspects of music that this band is. A lot of folks cannot get past the "noise" to really hear how great they are
Wow Man Small World Just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your message and felt exactly the Same I'm Matt from Melbourne Australia 40 years old and just As Wild About the Music and The Expression Of The BS in the world growing up. Awesome Video video much love to everyone ❤
Idk what type of sickness you have friend but please look into what Eddie Van Halen was doing in Germany, he had some special radiation surgery. He would have lived forever they say if COVID never happened. Because he needed to go back and do these surgeries every year or so. It’s something I’ve never heard of previously to Eddie Van Halen. And I was shocked to learn they absolutely did have a way to beat certain types of cancer the same way they do now for hiv. I cannot believe Eddie Van Halen couldn’t even get some special medical pass to goto Germany for his life saving surgery during COVID when the border was closed.
If they announced a UK tour right now, it would shadow the upcoming Oasis reunion by far. They are very popular here, as I’m sure they are in the States.
Nonsense. We love Rage here but Oasis is one of the most universally-adored bands ever in the UK. The Gallagher brothers are basically everyone's rowdy cousins at this point 😂
So lucky to have seen them live in their "later times".. 2008 dnc denver with flobots ( free show) was cool a.f. but nothing compares to my favorite and last show i saw them... LA RISING .... moshing around the fire L.A.F.D. and LAPD literally had to let burn after multiple failed attempts at attacking us. Wild rowdyness , punches and head butts... lost my shoe.. This band made so much history that would be unthinkable these days. Im pushin 40 and still have my poster hung from when I was 10 Glad I got to witness a piece even though I was born in 85
Zack seems like the only one really committed to the political activism aspect and the other guys are just musicians for the most part. Zack didn’t see his success really generate any real political change. I think he’s just kinda.. lost. He hasn’t produced much for 20 years.
Cant always bring change . It fails but bringing awareness to problems certainly made ratm popular it spoke about things that metal or rock at that time just wasnt doing
every year or so I get into a certain mood and I have to listen to battle of Los Angeles. that album means a great deal to me, every single track. here in November of 2024 - just a couple days after a pretty harrowing occasion in american politics - I am in one of those moods again
I found their debut cassette laying in the road in front of my house back in 92 then it wasn't long before Killing in the Name of hit the radio. That shit hit hard I couldn't believe how good it was and have always wondered if someone threw it out the window or just how it got there.
I found a MP3 player right in front of my house on the sidewalk with bands I never heard before. Fell in love with them immediately cuz they were similar to what I was listening to. Always wondered about the person who dropped it. Like I bet they were cool & we could've been friends.
I got to the venue late for rage late 90's and it was shut down due to a brawl! Did not miss audioslave in the 2000's. The screen dropped chris was jumping all over the stage and the whole amphitheater lit up it was amazing!!!!!!
It said way too f****** often but yeah these guys were ahead of their time.... When I say it's said too often I don't mean rage ! 😭 although that's true kind of true as well but I'm talking about the phrase. They were so ahead of their time it's beyond amazing really. Zach spot on politically ideologically in every way possible they were on the right side of History making gnarly f****** music and it's just it's amazing I don't think people will forever appreciate on a large scale how big a deal these guys are & were and so on and so forth. ☮️☮️👊👊👊💯🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely, the Rich White Democrats told them what to do and they were happy to spread the propaganda! Remember when they played at the Democrat National Convention? All while the Democrat Establishment was overthrowing Governments too further enrich the Clintons, Obamas, and the Bush’s… They believed it alright, it’s just a shame they weren’t able to think for themselves…
@@xwhite2020 yes. I had waited years and years to see them live. Then I got tickets in 2020 which were postponed 3 times. The tour got cancelled before they ever made it to my town. And now they’re supposedly never playing together again live, so yes, I’m devastated.
Rage Against The Machine Live in Manila was held on July 19, 1997 at the Cuneta Astrodome, Pasay City. For the Benefit of the Pasay City General Hospital.
What's crazy is Maynard Keenan & Tom Morello were good buds before becoming famous, but I don't think they ever played in a band together?? Someone correct me if I am wrong.
Maynard is on the first album, Rage Against The Machine He does backing vocals on Know Your Enemy Maynard was considering/considered for being the front man for Rage but ultimately decided to focus on Tool Heres a live Performance from 1994 with Maynard ruclips.net/video/R2K2hSB4fEU/видео.htmlfeature=shared
An Audioslave cd leaked on Napster before the first cd came out, wonder if those songs are still floating around somewhere, Tom was pissed and said they sucked and shouldn't have been heard.
It's pretty funny watching so many people post-2016 get upset about SNL being called political bootlickers, biased, in-the-tank, or whatever like it's a new thing when you consider the way RATM were treated back in 1990.
So for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, they just didnt want to come because they broke up? And that’s why only Tom was there? I thought it was bc they didn’t like it. I was ex tied and waiting. Then sad to see such a short speech and only Tom there. Bc he gave my favorite induction ever to Kiss.
Such a tragic band, one of the few that actually have a relevant purpose but can’t prevail over their own agendas. So sad, so prolific and so damn good all at the same time. Rock on RATM!
This is the 1st documentary ever that mentioned the Woodstock 99 ruckus and didn't feel the need to show Limp Bizkit playing a day earlier. Well done 🤘
Limp bizkit played the same day. Bizkit, Rage, Metallica
@@patrickturi7318 the riots and fires all broke out on Day 3. All those bands were long gone bruh
@@JokerzGalleryI was there man
Chili peppers and megadeath played during the fires
@@patrickturi7318 so what are you arguing? Limp Bizkit played day 2, b4 the fires and riots. It wasn't the same day. Chilli peppers & md played day 3.
No matter what the future holds, I have so much love for Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave. I hope they're all doing well, RIP Chris Cornell
Chris was the GOAT

damn god bless timmy C on that prostate cancer a true powerful soul much love from mexico to Rage fans one of the best bands ever

Just wanna say thank you so much for this video!
Thanks for the info on ratm Theo
I love this band. Forever. They were one of the top 10 in my book of 90s rock.
Got to see them in Sacramento in 98. Best years of my life were the 90s and early 2000s. Best mosh pit I’ve ever seen and I’ve been to a lot of shows.

amazing video rage content on here is always appreciated as i also made a video on them keep on rockin on :)
From Rage Against The Machine, to Dance With the Machine
Narrator sounds like Theo Vaughn
Dang. Are you Theo Von?
Right!!
So for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, they just didnt want to come because they broke up? And that’s why only Tom was there? I thought it was bc they didn’t like it. I was ex tied and waiting. Then sad to see such a short speech and only Tom there. Bc he gave my favorite induction ever to Kiss.
Nove story for a band that came out of nowhere
Sounds like theo von as narrator
20:49 - 😢😢😢😢
Tim Commerford is great
Tim left the decision up to them and was pleading the 5th
Such a tragic band, one of the few that actually have a relevant purpose but can’t prevail over their own agendas. So sad, so prolific and so damn good all at the same time. Rock on RATM!
So not true, most people like the music and don’t care about the politics
Steve Forbes introducing Rage just does not compute in my brain.
Is Theo Von narrating this documentary???!!!
they went from rage against the machine to rage for the machine if you live long enough you see your heroes turn to bums
Pulpo octopus ....bc he has a hand in everything
.....And then they became part of the machine.....
i thought ths was tuv for a sec
ALL OF WHICH ARE AMERICAN DREAMS!!!!!!
Is that Theo Von narrating at the beginning?!
Is that Theo Von narrating ?_?
Didn't know Theo Von did commentary...
Is Theo Von narrating this with a normal voice?
I thought the exact same thing.😂
"One of the few bands that never lost their identity" nah now they're the machine they raged against
You MUST take the jab!
