Fredrik Johansson 1992-1993 was when Zack was at his angriest, it was like his actions on stage vocals and screaming were compared to an angry possessed twelve year old boy who just downed one two many cans of red bull prior to performing.
Fredrik Johansson bro i'm sorry but in my mind, it was better in this period, i fcking love his words bc it really shows that he cares, We need ppl like him today
@@hughmcnamara1790 this fits better because of the lyrics and the title. It seems like it was made specifically for the movie because of how well it fits.
That bass at 3:20 will haunt you in your nightmares. What a privilege to have seen them live - October 1992 and again October 1993, both at Metro in Chicago.
I kinda laugh on how Zack's voice cracks while screaming "Wake Up" He was 23 years old then in this but he sounded like a teenager during the Self titled debut era (1992-93) his voice changed in the band's later albums though which i prefer.
Brad's inspiration after 4:30 is what takes this version to another level. Tim follows perfectly. Tom's Tele/Marshall tone is to die for in this version and he adds textures that weren't in the studio version.
if you want your commentary on society and the human condition to be a bit more traditionally funky, check out Manifesto by The Souljazz Orchestra, and if you like the modern weirdness, check out The Mountain by a band called Haken, they're both on RUclips somewhere and they both deal with political and societal things in their very different ways, and they all groove like hell.
AMAZING BAND! they know whats happening around us! i wish someday RATM performed again in the philippines one more time! my country needs this kind of music!
I've been a Rage fan since 1995 at age 15 when I started listening to rock music. Now 2021, still a huge fan of theirs. Thanks so much NU 107 Davao for always playing 90s rock hits back then including the Rage.👍✌️🤘😉
the intro and the ending to this song is just incredibly well put together. I guess it didnt take Zack, Tom, Tim and Brad long to piece both those parts of this song together. the solo too...
+mjbdvp Yeah. You can see her do it on some of these shows RATM have on youtube. I think she introduced them as recently as 2008 but perhaps she announced them in their 2010 European tour as well and back in LA in 2011. Not sure but I have seen her do it and it is cool to see an 80(?) year old woman say "Now the best band in the world, Rage against the Machine" With her bony little fistpump.
I love there early live perfomances, the newer ones doesn't have the same power!!! Same with the albums, Evil Empire and Rage Against The Machine Are 100% there best albums!!!!
Zack got more comfortable on Stage as he had to change his style, he couldn't keep doing the Hardcore shit like he did with Hardstance/Inside Out years prior as RATM were later Gangsta Rap influenced when Evil Empire came out.
Movements come and movements go Leaders speak, movements cease When their heads are flown 'Cause all these punks got bullets in their heads Departments of police (what?) the judges (what?) the feds Networks at work, keeping people calm
one of the most powerful protest songs ever. one of the best performances ever of that song. Come on Come on, although you try to discredit You'll still never edit The needle, I'll thread it Radically poetic Standing with the fury that they had in '66 And like E-Double, I'm mad Still knee-deep in the system's shit Hoover, he was a body remover I'll give you a dose But it will never come close To the rage built up inside of me Fist in the air, in the land of hypocricy Movements come and movements go Leaders speak, movements cease When their heads are flown 'Cause all these punks got bullets in their heads Departments of police (what?) the judges (what?) the feds Networks at work, keeping people calm You know they went after King When he spoke out on Vietnam He turned the power to the have-nots And then came the shot Yeah Yeah, back in this With poetry, my mind I flex Flip like Wilson, vocals never lacking that finesse Who I got to, who I got to do to wake you up? To shake you up, to break the structure up 'Cause blood still flows in the gutter I'm like taking photos Mad boy kicks open the shutter Set the groove Then stick and move like I was Cassius Rep the stutter step and left a bomb upon the fascists Yeah, the several federal man Who pulled schemes on the dream And put it to an end You better beware Of retribution with mind war 20-20 visions and murals with metaphors Networks at work keeping people calm You know they murdered X And tried to blame it on Islam He turned the power to the have-nots And then came the shot What was the price on his head? What was the price on his head? I think I heard a shot I think I heard a shot I think I heard a shot I think I heard a shot I think I heard a shot I think I heard, I think I heard a shot Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake up How long? Not long, 'cause what you reap is what you sow
he says the speech that we have been cursed by the system and many people die because of him, and after he completes saying that what we do now may save our lives in the future :D how long? not long, cause what you reap, is what you sow
I love how much energy Zach De La Rocha puts into his performances.
It's a shame that the band's later years that he got lost that intensity when his voice changed.
Joey Roller yeah he lost the harcore punk voice
Chris, I love your taste in music. Joy Division & RATM. What a legend.
thats not energy, thats truth.
@@K.J.S.est1994 Its called aging. I too wish I could be in my 20s again...
The thing that i love with Zach is the anger you can see in his face. He gets MAD at this injustice, he doesn't just claim to be angry like others.
His passion is so much it spreads to the individual and makes them want to spread it.
Fredrik Johansson 1992-1993 was when Zack was at his angriest, it was like his actions on stage vocals and screaming were compared to an angry possessed twelve year old boy who just downed one two many cans of red bull prior to performing.
Fredrik Johansson bro i'm sorry but in my mind, it was better in this period, i fcking love his words bc it really shows that he cares, We need ppl like him today
@Sound Logic you can do well and still think the system is unfair. The champagne socialist talk is for people with negative IQs
Unfortunately he turned out to be just another fuckwit who couldn't think beyond 'left vs right'.
This was probably the best song for the matrix.
And rob dougan, clubbed to death
Fo' sho. The what?
I mean Rob Dougan though.. but yes probably it was.
@@hughmcnamara1790 this fits better because of the lyrics and the title. It seems like it was made specifically for the movie because of how well it fits.
Hell yeah!! I took a day off from camp to listen to this in year 2001 ^^
Speechless... hands down they're one of the best band ever
with out a stupid doubt. one of the most INCREDIBLE bands in music history. Rage is my top #1 in my rock life
Possibly thee
WERE one of the best..Now they're tools of the criminal elite.
consumerism has murdered the spirit bra
@@theazshow7327 Medicine has murdered the body and the spirit, since 1963.
That bass at 3:20 will haunt you in your nightmares. What a privilege to have seen them live - October 1992 and again October 1993, both at Metro in Chicago.
The massive riff at 5:20 exploding at 5:32 is even more powerful.
So jealous you saw them when they were in their prime
Yep. amazing the way the bass here kind of reminisces the sound of a machine gun followed by "think iheard a shot"
This is a million times better than the studio version! Zack kills it!
I kinda laugh on how Zack's voice cracks while screaming "Wake Up" He was 23 years old then in this but he sounded like a teenager during the Self titled debut era (1992-93) his voice changed in the band's later albums though which i prefer.
They are one of the few band where their live performance manages to match and sometimes surpass the album.
I prefer the rugged cracks of the early RATM era. Wish he'd not started smoking.
Joey Roller that dont even matters zack scream of angry not some metal scream stuff
Brad's inspiration after 4:30 is what takes this version to another level. Tim follows perfectly. Tom's Tele/Marshall tone is to die for in this version and he adds textures that weren't in the studio version.
THE BEST BAND ON EARTH.
Yes.
There's nothing like it.
Not the best but defenetly one of the best
Relax buddy
literally had goosebumps from when he screamed wake up
You are not the only one brother 🤘🤘🤘
my man straight up yelled his lung out
i fucking cried bruh wtf
yea..it's almost like....we need to wake up
Zack's spitting pure rage! Awww, good old times.
Thompter S. Hunson 1992-93 was when Zack was at his fucking angriest
Why don't we have music like this anymore
there is, but it is hidden.
where?
you've got to be willing to get... weird
benlevingroup.bandcamp.com/album/freak-machine
just posted a link, if it doesn't show up, let me know
Mikail Elchanovanich ok, I can see it. Now, I'll hear it
if you want your commentary on society and the human condition to be a bit more traditionally funky, check out Manifesto by The Souljazz Orchestra, and if you like the modern weirdness, check out The Mountain by a band called Haken, they're both on RUclips somewhere and they both deal with political and societal things in their very different ways, and they all groove like hell.
What a band!!!!
There are no other band like them
and tom morello bizarre guitarist
Refused is like them but that's about it
Best performance of this song live !!
" I'll give ya a dose
But it'll never come close
To the rage built up inside of me " - ( 7:20)
Back when tom used the Ibanez dfl flanger pedal. I miss the sound of it
fist inthe air in the land of hypocrisy
I love the way the got introduced on stage, give it that school talent show vibe
That's Tom Morello's mom.
This is ultra powerful, these guys can play but OMG the message in this song is so moving.
Never gets old.
If I could see these guys live.. My life would be complete!
Id cut off a finger to see em live
Alastair Plant
witch finger?
me too!!!!!
Totally.
Mee tooo
AMAZING BAND! they know whats happening around us!
i wish someday RATM performed again in the philippines one more time!
my country needs this kind of music!
Fillipino are gifted especially in Music. 🧡🧡🇵🇭🇵🇭
very soon
Tama ka. You're exactly right. I really wish Zack will come back with the rage and will rock the world again.👍✌️🤘😉
I had chills the whole time nonstop😳 I can’t even express my love for Rage
"Hoover he was a body remover" instant classic
context?
28 years later, and this song still rolls through my head every time I watch the news.
This is my favorite song... Ive been hearing it for almost 2 years and still make me jump out of my bed
I've been a Rage fan since 1995 at age 15 when I started listening to rock music. Now 2021, still a huge fan of theirs. Thanks so much NU 107 Davao for always playing 90s rock hits back then including the Rage.👍✌️🤘😉
Lord... their energy...
anger is a gift :)
Hoover....he was a body remover....
I'll give ya a dose but It will never come close
I'm not even a hard leftie, but RATM is one of my favourite bands ever. This performance is so fucking powerful as well.
It never was "just a song", its the truth set to music...some people are just slower to "wake up"
As a Rock fan they were my "gateway" into Hip-Hop. Forever grateful.
This is the best version imo
Tom is legendary!!!!!!
Tom is fucking impossible!
Agreeable
Zack, too! They all are!
Jerry is a beast also
I still get goosebumps when zach yells "wake up"
That was beautiful
One of the REALEST bands EVER.
3:45 That yell came from far
There is no feeling like the feeling of listening to RATM
1993:D BEST ERA. \m/
Agreed.
Josh Caviness We were young & full of excitement. lol \m/
Krrrimmi 🤘🤘
Krrrimmi yeah zack whas fucking creazy in this time
and now we are old...too old...
for 1993, this is from another planet
Zack going mental, fuck yeah!
HOLY SHIT!
:D
This is a masterpiece every part of this song is an awesome new melodic piece, fucking awesome.
Putting them in the matrix was a nuclear bomb..
Holy shit. What a first song for a show. Such emotion, and still so relevant.
Best song to open the set with. WOW, what an introduction!
Best live recording of Wake Up by far, everyone just sounds so good in this recording. Listen to the bass for goodness sakes! :36 - :42
Blessed to have these guys do what they do. Legends forever
Saw them live in New Orleans Lollapalooza ‘93. May have been THE MOST AMPED I have ever been at a show....and I have seen MANY bands.
hey Brasil, wake up!
É tarde demais, infelizmente...
the intro and the ending to this song is just incredibly well put together. I guess it didnt take Zack, Tom, Tim and Brad long to piece both those parts of this song together. the solo too...
1993 in the year of RAGE i was born!
BLASTING THE SPEAKERS NOW!!
Been a Rage fan since about '92 and i have one thing to say after watching that. Holy Shit!
The sound....
zack getting himself pumped up at start, such a badass
Thing is these lyrics always have been relevant, even to things before its time. I think they'll be relevant for a long time going forward as well.
Simply awesome!
his anger scream at 7:20 blew my jaw off my face. zack never fucks around when it comes to lyrics
Wow... Damon Sierocki just told me to listen to 'rage against the mach-ween' and he is right, they are awesome
I have the 1992 Rage against the machine cd produced by EPIC and Sony music. I consider it one of my prized possessions.
Kyle And World Arguably the angriest album ever released by them, Zack’s vocals and screams were insane on there.
one of the latest massive band to include a true message inside his lyrics
Thank you so much for T his!
I read somewhere that Toms mum sometimes used to introduce the band live...would that be her at the start? Can anyone confirm/deny this...?
+mjbdvp Yeah. You can see her do it on some of these shows RATM have on youtube. I think she introduced them as recently as 2008 but perhaps she announced them in their 2010 European tour as well and back in LA in 2011. Not sure but I have seen her do it and it is cool to see an 80(?) year old woman say "Now the best band in the world, Rage against the Machine" With her bony little fistpump.
+UNKOLESAM thanx dude, I was worried people might think I was insane for saying what I said lol
It would make sense being this is from Chicago and where Tom is from.
LOVE IT !
mjbdvp “And now I’d like to introduce The best band in the FUCKING UNIVERSE, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE!!”
Mama Morello
The genius part...having Joan Cusack introduce you.
this vid had like half as many views last week. I just cant stop watching it.
This is beautiful, love it.
"What you reap is what you sow."
Yeahhhh!!!I miss this band!
Seen these guys 3x live Woodstock, NY and Boston...Even know I meet people they tell me I wish I have seen RATM live
Best band of the 90’s ✊🏻
In later years Zack's voice got more deeper and growlier as he got older in like 1999/2000.
Just like every male’s does, although smoking I’m sure exacerbated it
@@latinolawdog5067 the screaming with not really a technique or taking care of his voice really really did that too.
This is just Epic!!!
Holy shit that energy!
zack is just the coolest guy ever
They are BACK ✊✊
I love there early live perfomances, the newer ones doesn't have the same power!!! Same with the albums, Evil Empire and Rage Against The Machine Are 100% there best albums!!!!
their* :p
moosi doosi the Battle of Los Angeles?
Zack got more comfortable on Stage as he had to change his style, he couldn't keep doing the Hardcore shit like he did with Hardstance/Inside Out years prior as RATM were later Gangsta Rap influenced when Evil Empire came out.
the old lady at the beginning is just GOLD !
That’s actually Tom’s mother Mary.
This is my favourite drum track by Brad
best video on youtube. has 175k views. :L
Best version of it!! So much energy and anger
This is fucking awesome, I LOVE IT !!! #MakeAmericaRageAgain
Movements come and movements go
Leaders speak, movements cease
When their heads are flown
'Cause all these punks got bullets in their heads
Departments of police (what?) the judges (what?) the feds
Networks at work, keeping people calm
OMG YOU CAN'T JUST OPEN A SHOW LIKE THAT IT'S UNFAIR
thank you man
Hey Zach I think we are all starting to wake up. Not just America but the world !!
one of the most powerful protest songs ever. one of the best performances ever of that song.
Come on
Come on, although you try to discredit
You'll still never edit
The needle, I'll thread it
Radically poetic
Standing with the fury that they had in '66
And like E-Double, I'm mad
Still knee-deep in the system's shit
Hoover, he was a body remover
I'll give you a dose
But it will never come close
To the rage built up inside of me
Fist in the air, in the land of hypocricy
Movements come and movements go
Leaders speak, movements cease
When their heads are flown
'Cause all these punks got bullets in their heads
Departments of police (what?) the judges (what?) the feds
Networks at work, keeping people calm
You know they went after King
When he spoke out on Vietnam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot
Yeah
Yeah, back in this
With poetry, my mind I flex
Flip like Wilson, vocals never lacking that finesse
Who I got to, who I got to do to wake you up?
To shake you up, to break the structure up
'Cause blood still flows in the gutter
I'm like taking photos
Mad boy kicks open the shutter
Set the groove
Then stick and move like I was Cassius
Rep the stutter step and left a bomb upon the fascists
Yeah, the several federal man
Who pulled schemes on the dream
And put it to an end
You better beware
Of retribution with mind war
20-20 visions and murals with metaphors
Networks at work keeping people calm
You know they murdered X
And tried to blame it on Islam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot
What was the price on his head?
What was the price on his head?
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard, I think I heard a shot
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
How long? Not long, 'cause what you reap is what you sow
FUCKING INTENSE!!!
True Legends! The best bend in universe!
This shit means a lot too me. I wish rage was still around to lead the movement
RATM is like one of those bands u gotta listen to the live versions instead of Studio. Very few bands like them
he says the speech that we have been cursed by the system and many people die because of him, and after he completes saying that what we do now may save our lives in the future :D
how long? not long, cause what you reap, is what you sow
Ha! I saw Morello play as the Nightwatchman in this same venue 15 1/2 years after this show.
such an awesome fucking performance ( like always )
Tom is playing the intro by tuning his guitar up and down...wow
Fuck, that bass 🙌🏻
Pure Art
dammit !!
1993 - 2013
STILL STANDING STILL WITH A FEAST FULL OF STEEL
Tim's StingRay tone was awesome!
What a great band!
The fucking truth guys, WAKE UP!
Maan. The anger they had back then was something. A little sad they kind of slowed down with this later on.
Imagine if this group came up these days.
best Rage performance ! Speech is epic
