Why didn't you explain fully about the burning man? June 11, 1963 a Buddhist monk set himself on fire in protest of the South Vietnamese persecution of Buddhists, which was supported by the United States. The image is one of the most renowned of the Vietnam War, that and the one named "Napalm Girl."
This "Purity Control" of Rage Against the Machine is very unfair and irrational. Most mainstream metal bands make essentially the same critiques as Rage. True, those others are not Socialists, but they pose themselves as being against the system as well. Megadeth signed up with the major label Capitol Records immediately after releasing their first album, for example. And there's pictures of Mustaine and Friedman wearing t-shirts with the symbol of Anarchy.
Regardless of political identity or ideology, this band fell nothing short of kick ass sound and killer riffs. All talented musicians, which forever changed my teenage years let alone concert going adventures. What a time to be alive it was. 🔥👊🧡👍🔥

Having been a longtime part of my local punk/hardcore scene, I’d probably have strong opinions early on with their path, but as I get older, I see their use of the system as their way to criticize that same system as incredibly clever and in line with their subtle sense of humor. It proves the point that many people including those in charge simply aren’t listening. But, by increasing the likelihood of their music reaching the masses to spread their message to those that hear more than just a sweet Morello riff or the predominantly tamer radio hits, deeper tracks like “Freedom,” “Know Your Enemy,” and “Wind Below” can be quite transformative for active listeners. As for the financial side of it all, I can see the clear argument, but I know that with their most recent tour, they made large donations to local nonprofits in those cities coming straight out of the ticket sales. Sidenote: I would’ve loved to hear mentions of Zack’s pre-rage hardcore punk bands, Hardstance and in particular, Inside Out. While they only had a handful of songs, Inside Out is a legendary band in their own right and was actually the source for Rage’s name. Do yourself a favor and give “No Spiritual Surrender” a listen if you’ve never heard it.
Agreed. Zach's new bandmate is a Palestinian who's family is strong in the movement. You should be hearing every day from Zach about Paly rights with the platform he has.
I think it was pretty clever at first, the idea of using the system to fight the system. The first record is brilliant even though I’m not necessarily down with all of the messaging in regards to socialism/communism etc. but from a racial perspective it was right on. The music was fresh and abrasive and Zach sounded sincere. They kind of became a parody of themselves after that. How big is Tom’s mansion?
The anger was huge with this band. it was a thrill - the real one. But sure - how can u be against capitalism when u getting lots n lots of money for ur shows.
Anti-capitalism - wich Ratm's all about - isn't about hating on people because they make money. It is about exposing super rich people that make money at the expense of the poor's work. Zack, Tim, Brad and Tom are certainly rich but they don't exploit nobody to make that money and never will. People don't even understand the meaning of the word "capitalism" and they yap about it all the time
@@Brightonpunk Exactly. I salute you for your intelligent and rational comment. I'm a musician and I have my digital albums for sale on-line.

Nevertheless, and ironically, non-rich people are, in practical terms, those who support the Capitalist/Imperialist structure.

Good synopsis of RATM. All these wannabe revolutionaries like to throw shade at others and organaize in collectives because, frankly, they are kind of lacking on an individual level.
Their music is dated. It’s just so 90s sounding. And the fact that they give credence to a novel that advocates for violent revolution is sickening.

You do realize that all of the people who generally push for socialism are not the working class. They are rich. Look at Bernie sanders, aoc and Noam Chomsky. Socialism is more profitable than capitalism
I always really disliked these guys, even though the music could be catchy in a way. I'll watch this anyhow, screw it. Update: They are as insufferable as ever.
From the website: "A band well known for our fierce opposition to the U.S. war machine, white supremacy and exploitation". This is explicit in their music. They've never claimed to be anti-capitalist. Probably the most misunderstood political band in music history.

@@ShadowTheHedgehog003 Lol fr. Young people are lurching right. We're doomed and this mf thinks "left wing" politics are popular.
I’m curious - what’s the like to dislike ratio in this vid?

I never could get into them. He sounds too much like Elmer Fudd to me.
Yes rage 🤘🤘 thank u my man
Acting like they're all out of touch rockstars like Tom Morello hasn't been playing the literal same amp and guitars for the entirety of his career is genuinely hilarious. Good work on the CIA propaganda.
Rage is the shit, you're trippin'🤦🏻♂️😂🤘🏻
They blow
They fucking suck
wonder how many dislikes this got cause its patently untrue
Iron Maiden story when?
Great video
Would love to see a children of bodom video
They became a parody of themselves and everything they were against. Sad, really.
yeah man, they're big time trumpers now!!! /s
Are you gonna make a video of GNR or Nirvana next?
no we dont need this shit...you have youtube and search for this "shitillity"! ,😋😋😋
So you then sell t-shirts...?
OK, I gotta know. Is it true that Zack and Chris were friends? I read that somewhere and the thought of it makes me feel better about liking both RATM and Audioslave.
no. Ni siquiera fue a su funeral.
Nothing about Inside Out? Lame
That bands been nothing but the laughing stock of the music industry for years.
Oh no, the poor music industry lmao
Cold??
Great band that made great music, don't care about 'selling out' bla bla bla
It's not that they sold out, it's that they were always hypocrites.
@@Philip_Taylor my point is I don't care. I won't listen to Gary Glitter (pedo) and lost prophets (mega pedo) but otherwise I don't care. Their music and first few albums slap hard and that's all I care about
@@Philip_Taylor Right, they should have stayed poor forever because Communism is when no money, right?
I'd be curious to hear your opinion on what this band should have done instead of adding a message they clearly felt passionate about in their music? How else were they supposed to get their message out?
Not sign to a major commercial label. Charities manage to spread messages just fine.
They’re as bad as televangelists
@@RAWMUSICTV Ah, so they should have stayed poor and played basements forever. Your videos are terrible, bro. How shameful.
This video is literally doing the "We should improve society somewhat." "Yet you participate in society. Curious! I am very intelligent." meme.
It's not though.
Ah, yes, because Harvard-educated rockstars are the modern equivalent of medival serfs toiling in the dirt! It’s literally the same thing!
@@mushyroom9569 you're doing the meme too
@@EmSee1223 No, I am not. But thank you, now anyone who might have thought that the meme might have some slight relevance can see that you only brought it up because you lack even a surface-level understanding of it.
@@RAWMUSICTV it is.
Now known as "Rage in favor of the machine"
Most original comment I’ve ever seen bro good job
last time I checked, they weren't glazing either of the parties and in support of our current establishment
Just caught the tail-end but it's never over :)
...managed to squeeze in the 'live' feed...'Living in the name of RAWMUSICTV currently :D'
*Edit: ...not that suggesting the upcoming mUsical material is a bad thing....'GWAR' but All is good, as i have my entire Life to wait regardless and there's so much 'more,' that has been already documented....!

We meet again, Mr Clarkson.
Rage Against the Machine. The anti-capitalist band selling tickets for over $200
yeah man, guys remember, it's the bands that control the prices, nobody else! /s

@@campar1043 no they don't

Let’s go 🔥🎤
Early 311>>>>>>>RATM
100 percent agree
you cant show the album cover? youtube is so gay i cant take it.
For all those people who say that they are now the machine and that they are "hypocrites" for keeping the royalties that this system leaves, they swam alongside the machine to give that message to the people Because we accept that we cannot change a system that has been in use for more than 100 years but expose the injustice it brings, so they are not hypocrites even if they or we do not we wanted We all live in this great system that uses damn money to live so they will take their share of their great work, it does not make them hypocrites but people cannot be pleased
You do realize that all of the people who generally push for socialism are not the working class. They are rich. Look at Bernie sanders, aoc and Noam Chomsky. Socialism is more profitable than capitalism
I always really disliked these guys, even though the music could be catchy in a way. I'll watch this anyhow, screw it.
Update: They are as insufferable as ever.
Tom morello is a jack ass
From the website: "A band well known for our fierce opposition to the U.S. war machine, white supremacy and exploitation". This is explicit in their music. They've never claimed to be anti-capitalist. Probably the most misunderstood political band in music history.
They've literally written songs that are directly in opposition to it, and criticizing capitalism.
@RAWMUSICTV There are many different forms of capitalism. It's the exploitation inherent in the form of capitalism that has developed in the U.S.
@@RAWMUSICTVI am not anti-capitalist. I've been to 3rd world countries, I know capital is necessary for populations to grow and prosper and I believe that can happen without the exploitation of human labor.
@@AK-km9qnname different forms of capitalism
@@RAWMUSICTV wow, i guess they should be locked up, ya know?
Origional 😅
RATM is the most punk political band I've ever heard. They're the best man.
So punk that they march in lockstep with politicians?
Wales has the best daffodils
THE GREATEST OF THE GREAT OF THE GREAT EVER !!! 💪

Morello is a shill. But Zach is as real as the USD collapsing. Get ready for WWIII
RAGEEEEEEEEEE✊
Know your enemy? Lol. These blokes support the (establishment) enemies, while claiming to be "down with the people" Rage FOR the Machine.
What establishment do they support?
show me them being huge supporters of either PARTY, I'll wait
Too bad they picked the wrong side
Wah wah!! My leftist band is leftist!!!!
Lmao. Typical right winger logic right here.
@@potato2387 Nah. RATM are typical leftist hypocrites. Blame others for exactly what they themselves are doing.
How about picking the logical side? Secure borders, oil independence, 2 Genders, etc.
@@TaxinGigsyou can't back up any beliefs you hold lmao
Hypocrites...
P.O.D ? LOVE UR WORK AND SEEN THEM ALL
I've actually been thinking of doing them!
