@@plasmakitten4261 What does an economic system have to do with a cultural issue like racism? And worse, particularly american issue, because you have a lot of capitalist countries in Europe and Asia where things like this never happen, and where racism exists obviously but it is minor compared to your country, I love the states but you americans give a relevance to pigmentation never seen in anywhere else.
@@danibaltr9742 first of all, racism is an exceptional problem in the US but it is very much apparent to anyone not blinded by nationalism that it has a strong presence in every Western nation. Second, racism is inherently linked to capitlism because racism is profitable for the rich white man. It allows him to divide the poor against each other. Back in the day, it even allowed him to justify things like the slave trade and colonization, all of which were immensely racist and immensely profitable. The link between supressing the non white and making money is never going to be shattered. Thus, capitalism has no praxis to solve racism.
@@plasmakitten4261 Capitalism is just an economic system, which since the industrialization got most of the population out of poverty, and obviously the rich were made richer, we live far better now than before capitalism, I can say as a south-american that the experiments of socialism and economics controlled by the government only brought us poverty and misery, don't follow our path.
@@danibaltr9742 you're confusing capitalism with industrialization.

Unfortunately he denied paternity of Tom, so he was raised alone by his Irish-Italian mother. His mother was a US history teacher at his school and taught both him and Tool guitarist Adam Jones; the two of them played together in a band called Electric Sheep in 1982 (with him on guitar and Jones on bass) and Morello was actually the one who introduced Jones and Maynard James Keenan to Danny Carey when they both moved to LA.

Honest opinion: I love y’all’s energy with these reactions, but I think y’all may need to pay closer attention to lyrics, especially with songs like this. It will had more value to your reactions and give you a better understanding of the music you are discovering. That being said, keep it up! Your channel is becoming a daily visit for me 😁
Shawna Hawkins I agree! This is the type of song that opens people’s eyes to what really matters. This is what I was listening to in high school 20 years ago and is still just as relevant today as it was back then.
I think they are blessed as they clearly don't know what "burning cross" means and its completely ok as i doubt they know what Ku Klux Klan is either. No need to remind them of something they should be spared. Maybe nobody told them for a reason.
One of the most transcendent experiences I've ever had as a concertgoer was standing in that arena in 1996 with both fingers raised to the sky and screaming "FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME" until my throat was ripped raw. RATM is an experience like no other, and they paved the way for my favorite breed of music - the beautiful rap-metal fusion.
Zakk goes to the aid of a crowd member who was being roughed up by security in this video. He was famous for stopping gigs if security got out of hand or a member of the audience was in trouble, he also called out male audience members for groping female crowd surfers.
I loved that showdown. The security guy was steaming but he knew he couldn't do anything because he was facing the lead singer of the band and would have been destroyed if he tried anything.
@@millahnna My sympathies because you really did miss out. They were the first concert I ever went to by myself when I was thirteen and I still remember the pit and stage diving. One of the best concerts of all time.
She’s adorable, can’t control herself. Smacking her hands into 💩. Just imagine being around thousands of people with this live and blaring! Been there , intense show!!!!
“Those who died are justified. By wearing the badge, they’re your chosen whites.”-whenever cops are killed they are honored and lauded as heroes. “You justify those that died. By wearing the badge, they’re your chosen whites.”-Looks similar, but the few differences change the entire meaning. Whenever people are killed by the police, particularly black people, everyone is quick to justify their killing simply by virtue of the badge. How many times have blacks been killed by police and the media digs up the victim’s entire backstory and every little thing they have done wrong in their lives? They paint them as criminals so as to deflect from the issue that they were murdered by a man with a badge.
The last 30 mins, I've been watching videos of people discovering RATM for the first time and its my new favorite thing. Everyone needs to RAGE a little, man ✊✊
You 2 are adorable together :) Rage against the machine is the epitome of what all rock and roll bands are about.. a great big middle finger to the establishment
As a person who reacts to all music (classical, opera, rock, rap, jazz, film score, etc...) with hip hop sensibilities and with the classic hip hop hand, this is so fuckin refreshing to watch. It's great to see other folks react the way I react to music... eyes closed, bobbing your head and breaking your neck, and making faces like "this shit hurts so good"
Fishbone, Skindred and Dub War are a few other bands that successfully pull off crossing those genres! Well worth a listen if you don't already know them.
We’ve Never learned our lessons..from OLD rage against the machine to Sublime singing about the Rodney King riots...it’s so sad. I hope changing FINALLY comes.
I’m a 50+ years old guy, from France, and seen you this morning has made my day ! I love your vitality and damn! What a effing music, mother of all eternal rage tracks ever ! May you walk in peace !
While I appreciate you have found RATM, I would hope that you would understand the message and reflect that. The music is amazing, but only secondary to the message.
Rage is timeless. This song was inspired by Rodney King but that crap is still going on. I've been lucky enough to see them a few times. The music is pure energy and politics. They inspired me to build "Burn Wall Street".
I think best lyric in this song is "some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses". Also " You're wearing your badge and you're cloaked in white". Powerful writing right there because it is true.
"Some of those that work forces"= police "Are the same that burn crosses"= kkk These white kids in the mid 90's were saying the same shit as BLM is today. Not that they were the first to say it, white or black, but it just goes to show how little has changed. For more conscious old school stuff that is still relevant, I would love to see y'all react to Ice Cube's A Bird In The Hand, from the early 90's. Kendrick Lamar sampled it on his To Pimp A Butterfly album.

They were suppose to go on a summer reunion tour with Run The Jewels co-headlining, but then the pandemic hit and cancelled everything. They are also eligible for induction into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, but, with two opportunities, have not made the cut yet.
Rage was awake before the ‘woke’ crowd knew how to tell time, if you know what I mean. The message is worth digging into - will blow your mind even more.

I replied to another video but I gotta say in this one too.as a 45YO guy that's mom passed last week and I married the best woman ever..........I see everything my wife has in your girl. She's top .1% sorry I'm a profiler even over the internet. Y'all stay that way through good and bad cause I'm so enjoying watching y'all I ain't got the words. I didn't do that the last decade and I may lose my beautiful wife to go along with mom passing. Young man just cherish that woman and ignore the BS & don't ever take her for granted. Thx for helping me relax at night in East TN. Y'all damn awesome
I remember that, I also remember The Wildhearts playing live on Top of the Pops two weeks in a row with the song 'I wanna go where the people go' and for two weeks straight, sang the line 'I wanna be where the cunts like me are buried six feet underground' live to the nation at 7.30 on a thursday evening. good times
I can't be mad, when I heard this song when I was young I had the same reaction, and it wasn't as easy to look up lyrics. forget a smartphone, I didn't even have a computer. thought it was about being a non-conformist resisting authority doing your own thing, but a lot of people completely missed the message about police brutality and racist cops. we are paying for it
Such an astute comment. Heard this song so many times in my young twenties and just thought it was rad... im 33 now and a few years back I listened to the words...
This happens a lot. In the middle of the Mccarthy era, when maybe the worst thing you could be was a communist, every kid was taught to sing This Land Is Your Land by Woody Guthrie. The same people who hated communism were teaching kids a song that was written by a communist. Not only that, the song was preaching communist values, lol. This phenomenon speaks to the subversive power of art to reach the minds of the brainwashed and plant seeds that can sprout into resistance.
@@natescott3832 Fortunate Son is the same way, everyone treats it like it's some patriotic anthem (probably cause its genre has been ruined and filled with nationalist crap since then) even though it's clearly an anti-privilege and anti-war theme. All I'm gonna say is that the conservative US order is lucky that the Soviet Union collapsed at the end of the 80s, because if US art culture had continued to develop the same way against the backdrop of endless anti-communist propaganda, the generational backlash could have had some very dramatic effects. It's sad how in the 90s a lot of the energy that was built in the 80s counterculture just went down the drain.
Take The Power Back by Rage Against The Machine is also an amazing song, it's groovy, it has bars, it has a very deep message, and they rock hard on it man
You are both my new favorite people! RATM was my FAVORITE group when I was in my 20's, now I'm 50. LOVE that you seem to love them! I subscribed. Peace!

I think they are blessed as they clearly don't know what "burning cross" means and its completely ok as i doubt they know what Ku Klux Klan is either. No need to remind them of something they should be spared. Maybe nobody told them for a reason.
FYI Rheasia, it's perfectly normal to hurt yourself while experiencing Rage. We all do it. 😆
One of the most transcendent experiences I've ever had as a concertgoer was standing in that arena in 1996 with both fingers raised to the sky and screaming "FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME" until my throat was ripped raw. RATM is an experience like no other, and they paved the way for my favorite breed of music - the beautiful rap-metal fusion.
I'm super jelous. I wish I could listen to Rage for the 1st time again
Was amazing right!!!
If only
Zakk goes to the aid of a crowd member who was being roughed up by security in this video. He was famous for stopping gigs if security got out of hand or a member of the audience was in trouble, he also called out male audience members for groping female crowd surfers.
I loved that showdown. The security guy was steaming but he knew he couldn't do anything because he was facing the lead singer of the band and would have been destroyed if he tried anything.
I will always regret that I never got to see them live when I was young enough for my body to handle that pit for this exact reason.
@@millahnna My sympathies because you really did miss out. They were the first concert I ever went to by myself when I was thirteen and I still remember the pit and stage diving. One of the best concerts of all time.
She’s adorable, can’t control herself. Smacking her hands into 💩. Just imagine being around thousands of people with this live and blaring! Been there , intense show!!!!
These 2 are the Bomb ..I Love their Reactions
RIP GEORGE FLOYD "Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses"
Fuk you I won't do what u tell me
It’s scarily relevant
Sadly the ones who are “supposed” to protect are the most evil!
This was written after the beating of Rodney King!
“Those who died are justified. By wearing the badge, they’re your chosen whites.”-whenever cops are killed they are honored and lauded as heroes.
“You justify those that died. By wearing the badge, they’re your chosen whites.”-Looks similar, but the few differences change the entire meaning. Whenever people are killed by the police, particularly black people, everyone is quick to justify their killing simply by virtue of the badge. How many times have blacks been killed by police and the media digs up the victim’s entire backstory and every little thing they have done wrong in their lives? They paint them as criminals so as to deflect from the issue that they were murdered by a man with a badge.
It’s fun watching younger people listen to the music that was everywhere when I was growing up
my pleasure sir 🤟🏽
Aaaahhhh!!!!! Yesss!!!!! Thank you making this video ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
Thrilled to see the younger generation checking out Rage Against The Machine!!
Know Your Enemy by Rage Against the Machine. This song has some dope lyrics
Kinsen77 this song pump me up!
Kinsen77 definitely!
"What? The land of the free?! / Whoever told you that is your enemy."
Or Bullet in the Head. Wake up. Classics.
Wish I could give more than 1 like.
I'M REALLY HAPPY EVERYTIME I WATCH YOU REACT...... YOU ARE REAL....... LOVE FROM SAUDI ARABIA
When you say "Oww" after a song, that's probably a good sign that that's a good song!! ❤❤
RAGE ! Their messages have prepared us for this madness.
Hell yeah!
The last 30 mins, I've been watching videos of people discovering RATM for the first time and its my new favorite thing. Everyone needs to RAGE a little, man ✊✊
This has been my whole afternoon today!
You 2 are adorable together :) Rage against the machine is the epitome of what all rock and roll bands are about.. a great big middle finger to the establishment
As a person who reacts to all music (classical, opera, rock, rap, jazz, film score, etc...) with hip hop sensibilities and with the classic hip hop hand, this is so fuckin refreshing to watch. It's great to see other folks react the way I react to music... eyes closed, bobbing your head and breaking your neck, and making faces like "this shit hurts so good"
I'm telling you guys you guys need to react to Renegades of Funk by Rage Against the Machine
yes yes yes
bump. all their covers were sick, but Renegades and Microphone Fiend are absolute MUST listens
Ghost of Tom Joad 🔥
Yep, all crossover hip hoppers love this shit
My favorite out of all their great works.
They lyrics is about police brutality
“Work forces “
about the privilages and more
Exactly. I just posted instead of clownin listen to the words.
Some of those who work forces, are the same who burn crosses.
"Some police are members of the klan"
I saw RATM 4x in Colorado USA, and they absolutely Shredded it every time . Metal Madness. At it's very Best.🤘😎
Tom Morello on guitar…. Is like being in HEAVEN. He is literally a God of Guitar. Unbelievable 🤟🏻
rage against the machine is one of the best bands ever created
Gtfo
@@jessepancamo8449 grfo?
@@soloparaplaystation6624 the beatles, led zeppelin, pink floyd, nirvana, all entirely better than ratm
Rage is an amalgam of rap, rock, funk and reggae in one... only band that can pull it off I've heard.
They are their own genre! “Cool music” and a few other bands that could fit in with that for sure would include Sublime!!
Fishbone, Skindred and Dub War are a few other bands that successfully pull off crossing those genres! Well worth a listen if you don't already know them.
Bad brains
We’ve Never learned our lessons..from OLD rage against the machine to Sublime singing about the Rodney King riots...it’s so sad.
I hope changing FINALLY comes.
"I was born by the river. In a little tent."
I’m a 50+ years old guy, from France, and seen you this morning has made my day ! I love your vitality and damn! What a effing music, mother of all eternal rage tracks ever ! May you walk in peace !
This is probably one of their best songs. It's damn near perfect.
It’s always one of their best songs EVER!!!
It’s one of my favorite songs of all time 👍👍👍
While I appreciate you have found RATM, I would hope that you would understand the message and reflect that. The music is amazing, but only secondary to the message.
Rage is timeless. This song was inspired by Rodney King but that crap is still going on. I've been lucky enough to see them a few times. The music is pure energy and politics. They inspired me to build "Burn Wall Street".
I think best lyric in this song is "some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses". Also " You're wearing your badge and you're cloaked in white". Powerful writing right there because it is true.
Loud in my car with the windows rolled down. It’s an epic song with a great message.
Next up, "Down Rodeo"
"Down Rodeo" or "Know Your Enemy"
Lyrics Video required!
Yess
But with lyrics
Excellent choice
I love how these two had no clue what this song was even about and yet their vibe is so good it's still fun to watch.
This song is so relevant right now. It was written about when Rodney King was beaten senselessly.
They’re cute.
I hope you’re able look up the lyrics and really figure out wtf he sayin because he is saying some shit.
hehehehe yea boi 😂
zach do spittin the truth
"Some of those that work forces"= police
"Are the same that burn crosses"= kkk
These white kids in the mid 90's were saying the same shit as BLM is today. Not that they were the first to say it, white or black, but it just goes to show how little has changed. For more conscious old school stuff that is still relevant, I would love to see y'all react to Ice Cube's A Bird In The Hand, from the early 90's. Kendrick Lamar sampled it on his To Pimp A Butterfly album.
@@natescott3832 those that work forces is not the police, the police is "the forces": the government work the forces ( The GOP has ben going roge for a long long time) its all old money
@@natescott3832 Only the bass player and drummer are actually white; fun fact
THEY BLOCKED OUR (KORN VIDEO)GANG WTF😡😡‼️‼️WE RE-UPLOAD THAT TOMORROW
i saw the Korn review before it was blocked...i really liked it!
Sorry 😥these bands dont seem to realize they are turning away potential viewers and SALES ! Love your videos guys !
surprised your Led Zeppelin videos are still up. Led Zep is notorious for blocking videos like yours from RUclips.
Do Korn -Blind Woodstock 99
Saw it before it got blocked. Great reaction. Try lyric videos. They're less likely to get blocked
1st time here YALL ARE TOO CUTE THEY are a militant band & Im a tell ya THE PUT THAT WORK IN 4REAL in The THICkof iT definitely not no cowards. They are LEGANDARY ahhh I love ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️RageAgainstTheMachine
Saw these guys in concert ...still one of my favorite bands...His face tho when they sing "Angel's deserve to die "...looked devastated 😂.
Rage Against The Machine
"Woke" long before the term existed
When the DJ put this on back in the day the dance floor would go completely wild.
It's crazy how many reactions to first time listening to rage against the machine...I remember when this song was played on MTV when I was 12 years old..when did people stop listening to this incredible band.
Rage is amazing....they were the 90s crew along with nirvana and others....thank you...Love it when kids appreciate good music!

Bro, you killed me with the R&B dancing. Too funny
When I'm watching you react I start reacting like I did the first time I heard it in the early 90's! Good job guys!
I love that you two are each responsible for playing "air instruments." 🤘
Can you imagine I was able to grow up listening to this and still do. They were truly unique
I love this reaction vid for so many reasons!
"Renegades of Funk," next!!!! You'll love it!!
These cats are getting back together!!!! RATM 🔥 great intro by the way 💯 #BandAnaReacts
They were suppose to go on a summer reunion tour with Run The Jewels co-headlining, but then the pandemic hit and cancelled everything. They are also eligible for induction into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, but, with two opportunities, have not made the cut yet.
Yes! You feel that in your Soul Young Ones! Change the Country beautiful baby's we are behind you! 🙏💜💜🙌👐
And that children, are how R.A.T.M. fans are born.....
He's been learning the art of what headbanging is. LET'S GO!!!
Rage was awake before the ‘woke’ crowd knew how to tell time, if you know what I mean. The message is worth digging into - will blow your mind even more.
I never liked rage. Zack was a pretentious twat
well... they are raging on behalf of the machine now...
The woke crowd is the same people that were listening to this song in middle school.

Fists up! Every time someone discovers this for the first time it makes me smile. Keep grindin👊
this song is fighting against systematic racism and police brutality, which is EXACTLY what we need right now
Head banging to killing in the name of to every new person who gets to listen to it for the first time is such a welcome high!!!
That was actual medicine for my soul experiencing you two experience that for the first time.
This song is 🔥 one of my absolute favorite songs EVER to sing along with and listen to. Rage was so badass!!!!
I replied to another video but I gotta say in this one too.as a 45YO guy that's mom passed last week and I married the best woman ever..........I see everything my wife has in your girl. She's top .1% sorry I'm a profiler even over the internet. Y'all stay that way through good and bad cause I'm so enjoying watching y'all I ain't got the words. I didn't do that the last decade and I may lose my beautiful wife to go along with mom passing. Young man just cherish that woman and ignore the BS & don't ever take her for granted. Thx for helping me relax at night in East TN. Y'all damn awesome
This is by far your best reaction. Y’all got it.
This was a accidentally played uncut on the UK top 40 show when this was originally released.
I remember that, I also remember The Wildhearts playing live on Top of the Pops two weeks in a row with the song 'I wanna go where the people go' and for two weeks straight, sang the line 'I wanna be where the cunts like me are buried six feet underground' live to the nation at 7.30 on a thursday evening. good times
You gotta get the lyrics pulled up with your songs because you’re missing a big part of some songs and the messages
true
"Fuck you I won't do what you tell me." Greatest lyric ever...
I want these two to go to a concert with!
I can't be mad, when I heard this song when I was young I had the same reaction, and it wasn't as easy to look up lyrics. forget a smartphone, I didn't even have a computer. thought it was about being a non-conformist resisting authority doing your own thing, but a lot of people completely missed the message about police brutality and racist cops. we are paying for it
Such an astute comment. Heard this song so many times in my young twenties and just thought it was rad... im 33 now and a few years back I listened to the words...
This happens a lot. In the middle of the Mccarthy era, when maybe the worst thing you could be was a communist, every kid was taught to sing This Land Is Your Land by Woody Guthrie. The same people who hated communism were teaching kids a song that was written by a communist. Not only that, the song was preaching communist values, lol. This phenomenon speaks to the subversive power of art to reach the minds of the brainwashed and plant seeds that can sprout into resistance.
@@natescott3832 Fortunate Son is the same way, everyone treats it like it's some patriotic anthem (probably cause its genre has been ruined and filled with nationalist crap since then) even though it's clearly an anti-privilege and anti-war theme.
All I'm gonna say is that the conservative US order is lucky that the Soviet Union collapsed at the end of the 80s, because if US art culture had continued to develop the same way against the backdrop of endless anti-communist propaganda, the generational backlash could have had some very dramatic effects. It's sad how in the 90s a lot of the energy that was built in the 80s counterculture just went down the drain.
Take The Power Back by Rage Against The Machine is also an amazing song, it's groovy, it has bars, it has a very deep message, and they rock hard on it man
Their whole first album is fire!
You are both my new favorite people! RATM was my FAVORITE group when I was in my 20's, now I'm 50. LOVE that you seem to love them! I subscribed. Peace!
"keep a line" = immediately hits own hand again. I fucking love it.
I wish these kids would watch the music videos that have the lyrics....if they had, they would understand what this song is really about.
They have no clue!!!
"Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses" the Klan been part of the police for a minute now. I'm loving this right here, something about watching others get the same hype from this music as me is great.
Been listening to this shit for 20yrs... Happy to see you two here now! ☮️
Well, now y'all got a new subscriber. You were FEELING IT. Out of breath and injured. Loved your reaction and God bless 🙏 ❤
