- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- When Rage against the machine released their self titled debut album in 1992 , it really was seminal moment for rap rock. The fury of Zach De LA Rocha, the ingenious fresh approach to guitar playing of Tom Morello and the incredible musicianship of Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk meant that this new band from LA were impossible to ignore, exploding straight through the alternative scene and straight into mainstream conciousness within 2 years!
This is the story of how it was recorded and the techniques and equipment used.

I bought this on cassette the same year it came out. Driving around in my '88 Nissan Sentra -- I was obsessed with it for many weeks and listened on repeat. In the pantheon of rock I would put this record up there with the greats.
I did the same, different car but same tape on repeat for ages!
I was a kid when I asked my mom to buy me Queensryche Empire album.
Instead, somehow, the guy in the record store sold her RATM - Evil Empire.
First, I was very angry, but curious at the same time to hear the tape she brought me, and I won't never ever forget the moment the first time put it in the deck. 😊
Man I always knew they recorded at the same time, but didn’t know how. Thank you!
Thank you for providing such great information on the gear used for the guitar recording. Especially the information on the speakers which are probably the most important factor in any guitar sound…
Thank you! Great to know it’s appreciated 😃
Evil empire is such a WAY better sounding record. In my opinion, I think it’s one of the best sounding records of all time.
I wouldn't say it's "WAY better". It's different. GGGarth has his way and Brendan has his -- Andy Wallace mixed both. I do love they way Evil Empire sounds.
In 1991 Janes Addiction were the kings of alternative music. RATM was Perry Farrells favorite band.
This channel is awesome. How do you not have more subs?! Cheers for the great content.
Thank you! 🙏
6:32 Pure gold man!
Cheers!
Such a great channel
Thank you! 😃
I remember where I was when I first heard Rage..
It's no wonder why the anti-authoritarian energy of their debut album is damn-near perfection for me. There was something very genuine sounding about that record that I couldn't quite put into words, and I think the live setting of the recording process explains it all. There's not a single skip on that record for me. Thanks for the further context regarding the recording process of their debut. The detail you go into is really interesting.
No spiritual surrender
suggestion: core by stone temple pilots. please do this i beg😢
I’ll put it on the list, definitely will be looking into it.
funnily enough, there are samples on the record, Andy Wallace used them on drums to add sustain
Good point, I wonder if the band knew..
The samples were muted and only the send to the reverb was active
@@elruso7524If you look at the MWTM video where he is mixing Avenge Sevenfold with Portnoy on drums, he uses samples that have in them already a lot of reverb on the sample. And using the SSL 9k gates, he uses that to lengthen the reverb from the samples, but they are definitely in the mix, no outboard reverbs on them. And he mentions he did this on several albums like Nevermind. So there are samples, technically, in the album. Also, without those samples it is hard to get the snare and kick to compete with the distorted bass and guitars.
I love these videos 🤙
Thank you! 😃
Great video
Thank you!
great video man
Thank you! 😃
Brilliant. I love how they recorded as live takes. The way it should be done.
Awesome man! You gonna do one on Highly Suspect's Mister Asylum / Boy Who Cried Wolf?
Cheers sand thanks for the suggestion!
Another cracking video and album. Thanks!
Thank you! 🙏
Fire 🔥
Funny, i saw a tom morello interview, where he points out, the reason why they did a live recording setup was mainly a money thing - they had none…
🔥
Please make a vid on load and reload
Great suggestion!
Always sad to see how people skip the part where Morello basicly took the Urban Dance Squad sound to form RATM after opening up for them with his glamrock band Lock Up.
know your enemy and use what you can to win..
Indeed, UDS is often overlooked. They started it all!
No studio in the 80's to early 90's DID NOT HAVE an SPX-90!
And a bag of 421's and SM57's.
Thanks, great video, except that the Brad's snare for RATM records was a Pearl free floating brass snare 6.5", according to himself (ruclips.net/video/AWuJZ8yD6GQ/видео.html), he used the Tama bell brass later for the 2nd album. If you're interested in the recording of this album check this very great video too ruclips.net/video/fZys4sCkI7o/видео.html
RATM became what they were against.
Don't we all
@@kriscostello1786 Well i'll agree that most bands do. But, as I got older I def became more conservative and I really dislike politics.
What are they not against now?
@@steersteer the machine
@@steersteer R4TM
their first album is still a milestone, but their political approach these days is just super naiv and you could say, that they rage for the machine now.
How so?
Bot
@@julianridi6014surely AI would have better grammar and spelling 😂
@@steersteer Don't bother trying to understand, just another braindead take because he can't come up with his own opinion. Its cool these days to hate on RATM.
@steersteer during covid, they had a concert that required vaccinations to attend (like literally every other public event at the time). Shirt minded people took thus as "raging for the machine" rather than support for the masses like they've always supported.
Basically, people that had no idea what rage against the machine was about are mad because it wasn't the ignorant, narcissistic, capitalist point if view they wanted it to be. Had they actually listened to the music, they would have seen the socialist/communist idealogy that put the benefit of the many over the benefit of the few (like rich capitalists)
Rage for the liberal machine 😂 they achieved full stooge status .....
