The best part of RATM is that their lyrics are always relevant. The saddest thing about RATM is that their lyrics are ALWAYS relevant.
Felt that way listening to operation ivy and dead Kennedys from the 80s...
damn, I felt that comment
Damn. That's exactly it.
And just think this shit first came out damn near 30 years ago.
More like 30 years ago. Also the Machine is the system. The meat grinder.
They weren't talking about the future, they were talking about their present and history.
The lead singer is a Mexican-American with a PhD in anthropology, the guitarist is an African-American with a master's degree in political science. There's a reason their music sounds so smart.
Tom Morello isn't African-American...
He’s Italian.. hence morello
He’s mixed...
His father was Kenyan so uh....
@@CourtneyCostaninoYep and Tiger Woods & Obama half is claimed.
I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t sing along with this song when it’s playing
Truth
* Karen strokes long mustache and chuckles as she dials 911.
@@coreytaylor6767 no no trust. You trust someone. But Someone is telling the truth. (Simple examples).
Facts
I just keep on singing
I love this dude's reaction. This is an old song discussing an old problem that hasn't been fixed. I hope it is in my lifetime, I'm 57 and I love every color of the rainbow and every gender. RATM is one of my favorite bands of all time
Watching people discover rage is like watching people discover religion
Like watching someone opening presants
Literally my favorite thing now is watching first listens of RATM
@@eresh233 me too..and watching the younger generation discover what amazing pioneers of their age that they really were...i don't remember a lot of other band's other then nirvana that literally changed the way i see music forever...rage was NEVER afraid to piss anyone off or tip toe around people's feelings who flat out are just haters
@@louisestevenson5102 yes...exactly..like Christmas morning..couldn't have said it better myself:) amazing analogy
Naaaaahhh
Dude. I'm a 45 year old white dude and I cannot believe that this music didn't start a revolution. This whole album is amazing revolutionary shit. Gen X played themselves. me included
Who's to say it hasn't ? Just slowly and cautiously
I believe "forces" are reference to Powers / Rich manipulating other forces essentially causing killing and burning crosses, being complacent to those with power "do as your told" (brainwashed ) there isn't a GOOD or BAD it's all the same script in different forms..but crosses burn and killing continues .
I’m a 53 yr old white British woman and I used to rock to RATM in my local nightclub back in the mid 90s. I felt it then and I feel it today.
It was meant to. Morello and Rocha should have been the modern MLK and X but it never came about
The old fucks need to die off... they will. The kids are pissed off.... if we had iphones back then it would be different. Now everything is being filmed. Its on !!!
I haven’t laughed that hard and felt totally connected to a person on a screen in a very long time. It’s like hearing it for the first time with him! That was awesome! 🤣🤣🤣🙌🏻🙌🏻🤩🤣
That is my exact reaction right now.. 12:31am 2/1/23
6:23 I can’t stop laughing and crying. He is killin me. He said time machine, I flatlined 😂😂😂
I was laughing at this and then when he put the battery back into the remote so nonchalant I lost my shit.
He’s like: “I’m reaching”
Me: “No. no You’re not😌”
Yup. Legit nailed it from go.
I said the same thing. Nope, exactly what he's saying
Those were the same words I was saying! No reach. Right on point!
Not. A. Reach.
Hahaha word
This song is almost 30 years old, it's even more relevant today. I hate saying that😥
It's a concept as old as time.
It's so still NOW music
Sad thing the GOP fans keep playing it like its their calling card. Idiots
Velma Fisher you say idiots but when that song came out it was more in line with the left. Today due to circumstances and just change in general, it does apply to the right.
@@chrisrodriguez4139 There's nothing about wanting to demilitarize the police who are out of control and filled with white supremacist that applies to the right. The group they were and still are talking about os the right😅
When some one starts singing along to 'Killing in the Name of' on their first listen, because it finally said EVERYTHING someone always wanted to say and they were connecting, it makes my heart swell. you even had to have your own separate moment of cussing as he said "motherfucker" which was gosh darned perfect, you totally connected with this video 500%. I LOVED this reaction video.
"It feels so good y'all."
It does, doesn't it? Getting out anger at some bullshit we didn't start and can't seem to fix heals the soul. Gives me the will to keep pushing back.
Facts
As an old white guy that was in his 20's when Rage made this song, it is awesome to see people discovering them today. Rage tried to tell us we had a police culture problem in the 90's, nobody listened.
Imagine how much his mind will be blown when he finds this song was actually released 29 years ago
Even more than 11 years ago : )
Man I'm old.
😩 That means i’m old!!
@@maireadk5574 I’m trying to get “OLD” rebranded as “Classic Cool” it won’t work for everyone, but with solid government funded research and the help of the community I HAVE A DREAM that soon we will live in a world where a tubby 49year old white guy is “Judged by the content of his IPod and not the colour of the minivan he rolled up in”
@@seancullum1561 😂😂😂😂
I love when Americans "discover" RATM, They resonated with us here in Ireland so much for 30 years, theyre still to this day one of the most loved bands of all time here
I’m so happy to hear that Ireland loves Rage! Now I need to make it my life goal to see them in Dublin or Belfast
A lot of us here in the states "discovered" rage in 92
@@christinamarcet1780 punk all over the world still love RATM.
My people :)
Saw them in Oxygen in 2008, they were brilliant.
My dad went to high school with the guitarist Tommy Morello and Tool's Adams Jones and watched them both perform at the school talent show hahaha
Well that's pretty fucking cool.
What kind of highschopl did he go to?
THAT is fkn rad. Lucky guy.
The saddest part is, this song is almost 30 years old, AND IT'S STILL ACCURATE.
It was applicable in BC
No doubt, ts, And if this world continues to spin in 2050, these
lyrics & that energy will STILL RISE TO POINT IN DIRECTIONS WE NOW WONDER ABOUT. Is it real? Can the truth be this far off? Sad? At least! EVIL w/o question! TeKie D-R.
Thanks for making me feel old.
Except I don't see a lot of burning crosses. In fact, everyone in office seems to be upholding the "rights' of certain people to destroy, loot, burn and terrorize. Who's doing the killing in the name of?
@@LadyIarConnacht I don't think it is meant to be taken in the 100% literal definition. If I'm not mistaken the beating of Rodney King was one of the major influences for this song. There were no burning crosses at his beatdown. I feel burning crosses is more likely a metaphor for racism, or in this song, about oppression and hate of the common man by the powers that be in general. Also as you know Rodney was not killed. The "killing" in the name part is likely also a metaphor for abuse of power, violence, oppression, etc. (and sometimes killing as well).
As to who is doing the "killing in the name" recently, I would argue that Trump's gassing of the protesters outside the White House for his Bible photo op a few weeks back is but one good example. George Floyd is another very obvious one.
"I've been trying not to say cusswords guys, I can't say these cusswords..."
Literally 10 seconds later:
"FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!!"
That is what RATM does to you. Time to rebel
Every damn time, I just give up and go with it now 🤣
Fuck the police! Fuck fuck fuck the police!!
Nice
That was gold :D
God damn right
Hands down one of the best reactions to this song I've ever seen!! His mind was blown with each new lyric!! And then when he starts screaming along with the lyrics 😁
I hate how relevant this song still is 30 years after it's release. Fuck you I won't do what ya tell me!
They weren't singing about the future. This was made in the early 90's and they were talking about what was happening then. It just hasn't stopped in all these years.
One of my more favorite RATM stories is when they were invited onto BBC radio to preform this song. They were asked to censor the song, which they did, until Zach De La Rocha decided to actually scream “FUCK YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME,” on public radio for 30 seconds straight. This song was at the top of the British charts for multiple weeks after that performance.
Damn. Wish I could’ve heard that radio show
@@lolawants2008 czcams.com/video/SfZGUdcBBLc/video.html
I love learning little tidbits of information about bands. BBC I mean did you not hear the lyrics? Someone in the chain must have been hoping for that outcome, or at least I'd like to think so.
Pretty sure it was xmas number one in the UK a few year ago.
Jordon Brewer that’s fucking awesome
One of the alternate lyrics when they played it live was “Some of those that burn crosses, are the same that hold office” always loved that one too
it was supposed to be the original lyrics but they were forced to change it by their record label.
DAMN
Fun fact: Trump's dad was arrested at a KKK rally turned riot www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/06/18/fact-check-fred-trump-detained-kkk-rally-circumstances-unclear/3209853001/
No it's deeper.
"Killing in the name of..."
"Killing in the name of what?"
"Exactly"
"police brutality"
Yeah.
"It's about police brutality!"
YEAH!
"Guys, the machine has to be a time machine!"
YEAH, wait, what?
Ha ha, yeah bless him 🤣
🤭🤭🤭
Lol same response I had. “Getting colder……” lol
I thought the same thing... he found God after that...
New level unlocked*
Zack De La Rocha is Mexican and Tom Morello is black, so they're pretty unafraid to talk about police brutality and white supremacy. Glad another fan has been made!
also, Tom Morello has a degree in political science (edit: I was wrong. Social Science, Harvard University). He knows what he's talking about.
@Alexandru Guzzonato In other words, a Mexican and a Black guy.
@Alexandru Guzzonato Then through in their varied, cultural, academic and ideological backgrounds and this is like the ultimate anti-establishment rock music lab experiment gone right.
PSST. Nobody tell him that this song is TWENTY EIGHT years old...
Thats what I was saying. I was 12 jamming to this. I'm going to be 32. They started before I was even born lol
Lol
Proves it's been going on forever.
28? Damn I'm old.
I'm 44 years old and I was listening to them in high school.
A song so heavy... created around Rodney King and here we are, still fighting the same issues today.
My dude, watching you experience this song was magical! ✌
I'm 44 today (happy birthday me) white and have been listening to this sense the LA riots. IDK how people are just discovering it now, or how we all just rolled over and let things keep going the same
Rage was woke before woke was woken
Serge To be fair, many Gen Xers were “woke” before it was discovered by Millennials. But then, plenty of Boomers supporting civil & gay & individual rights were too. As were the anti-slavery & suffragettes before them. It starts as a whisper & rises to a roar. Each Gen has their “a-ha” movement, it’s just harder to smother the rebels in the digital age
Deep
They were woke before being woke was corrupted and turned into a religion to preclude thinking for yourself
Unfortunately being "woke" today means being a conspiracy theorist, rabbit hole, echo chamber dwelling Cult45er which is literally the opposite of being awake to the objective realities of life. Rage was aware, but these days the millenial conspiracy theory droids just exchanged one dangerous cult movement for another. They buy into whatever is the new "woken" movement and subscribe to death without any objective research and or the ability to fall in love with proving themselves wrong. Donald J. Trump as "president" wouldn't be an actual factual thing if it weren't for these "woke" shit covered peanuts.
@@practicalwerewolf Do you need a Snickers?
Catch videos of Zack singing this live and ad-libbing:
"Some of those that *hold office*
Are the same that burn crosses"
apparently the "hold office" was the original lyrics, but the label forced them to change it
And that burn crosses are related to the KKK.
I was there in 2008 when he ad-libbed in Minneapolis. Most intense concert moment of my life. Society should've listened to what RATM had to say.
I fuckin LOVE this comment bro YOU COULDN’T COME MORE CORRECT BRO!!!
Lorax The songs more powerful if you weave that in with current lyrics. Never been such a blatant racist in office in my lifetime.
One of the greatest and most time immortal songs ever. I can listen to this song 100 times in a row and still get fired up when Zack busts out "Fuck you I won't do what ya tell me."
This is the best reaction ever 🤣🤣😂 the ending when he starts cussing tears pouring down my face 🤣
This song was a product of the Rodney King beating and the LA riots of the early 90's. It feels like our records stuck on repeat and we keep reliving the same thing over and over. This is why history is so important. We must learn from the past and make a better tomorrow for everyone. Share the love.
Rage is the most relevant band of 2020 and they haven't released an album in over a decade.
Yeah, it's almost like the problems they raged against back then are still around today.
WORD
try 2 decades lol
True
@@psychee1 it's not almost, they've been there all the time
I love that you actually listen to the lyrics and react to them, not just to a video and skipping the whole message of the lyrics. Thank you for that! Your reaction has me stopping to think more about the lyrics along with you esp when it's a song I am not familar with.
One of my favorite bands! Still relevant today. I saw them live in '92 with Cypress Hill. It was legendary! A 5'0 women in the marsh pit with grown men. One of the best times of my life! You got to go down the RATM rabbit whole. They ate so political and truly rage against the machine. The machine being the government and injustices in general. You got to see this video. People going on stage and Zach in the face of security etc...
They wrote this song after Rodney King was pulled from his car and beaten to a pulp in the street. Glad to see you understood what they meant without knowing the whole story.
The line those who work forces are the same that burn crosses is a give away it's about cops and the like. And...it is true, they join forces.
I forgot if he says work or join in the song but it is all the same.
what's its interesting and sad at the same time its that it hasn't change. I was 18 years 0ld when this song came out and now that I am older I cry to see that nothing has changed.
@@myriammachiche1030 Things change...just slowly. There's more people who agree with Rage than when they made this song. One day there will be enough to make a permanent difference...
History is really repeated itself
@@rikk319 I am 47 years old, been living all around the world and I notice one thing : humans are easy to manipulate. I was present during the riots in Hong Kong because I lived there. I first participated to the pacific manifestations but the authority you do not have the right to express your opinion. But people continued because it wasn't a good reason to stop they never thought politics would order to shoot on civilians, women, men , kids , old people everybody, the police shoot like assholes thinking : the sheeps are under control. well they were so wrong.. By not respecting the right to manifest pacificly and by using violence the authority woke up the rage which was sleeping in every HK citizen and they said :fuck I won't obey! not this time , not ever, not until HK become a democracy.
This rage is in us , we use it to say enough. Rage against the machine =rage against society.
This song is more like 25+ years old and a response to Rodney King verdict.
I never knew that part! And I've been a huge fan of this song for almost 20 years! Crazy and sad how relevant this is today. That alone should tell people who don't understand BLM that shit needs to change!
Yep. Nearing 30, actually. Was written 6 months after Rodney King was brutally beaten by police in LA, triggering the LA Riots, as Nicole notes.
The song was released on their debut album in November 1992.
Horrific and disgusting that it's just as relevant today.
"the machine must be a time machine" had me dead!!! no its just that we've had these problems for more than 30 years and they were never taken seriously.
BEST MR VIDEO EVER 😂😂😂😂😂... I totally love you man your so pure of heart and naturally funny too
It’s hilarious that he’s saying this was 11 years ahead of it’s time. Nah man, that’s just when it was uploaded on CZcams. This song is from 1991. This is almost 30 years ahead of its time.
It's never not been relevant when examining the entire history of the US
@@djthomas1127 Exactly
This song is a product of it's time. Sadly, it's still relevant today.
Yeah poor baby 👶
It wasn't ahead of its time, this was shortly after the Rodney King riots.
This song was written at the time of the Rodney King beating, LA riots, and the acquittal of the dirty cops. It’s a masterpiece! Pure art!
I'm a grandma in my 50's. I give no fucks. When I play RATM, everybody knows I'm playing RATM. In my car, screaming "FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!" and the grandkids in the backseat asking why I'm so mad lol. It's Rage. One can't help oneself. This stuff woke me UP to the injustices being suffered by so many in our community. It woke me up to the fact that this nation is built on white supremacy. That white culture in America is white supremacy. It's built in. Even though all of us who rocked with Rage all those years ago are older, the message is still relevant and this bands music becomes a teaching moment for the next generation. I'm so glad you had the lyrics for this one.
I remember being 16 and discovering this song for the first time. It was an otherworldly experience. I love seeing others discovering it too. Goose bumps every time!
These dudes went to Harvard. Tom Morello (the guitarist) earned a 4.0 GPA. They are the definition of "woke".
Only Morello went to Harvard
@@bradadams8177 Yeah but Zach De La Rocha's grandfather was a mexican revolutionary
Doesn’t Morella have a PHD in Political Science?
@@brandonclayton3157 no he has a BA in Social Studies.
@@ISavant and Morello's father was an activist promoting Kenyan independence
And he got the meaning of this song in less than two minutes yet some "fans" still don't get it almost 30 years later
They get it, they just won’t admit it.
They have the nerve to say “since when did bands get so political” “just make music”. You a fake fan if you never knew that. These bands were never on your side.
@@livingthenightlife4224 Hilarious - they're the "machine" being "raged against" and they didn't get it.
Republican Senator Paul Ryan says his favorite band is RATM. It makes you wonder if he's ever listened to the lyrics
@@phreakheadthe politicians that say shit like this are definitely patrick bateman levels o psychopath.
Dude I absolutely love your energy. It's incredibly infectious.
Went STRAIGHT into your soul... best reaction I've ever seen to this tune. It hit ya. You nailed it.
Watching black people react to RATM for the first time will literally never get old. They're on the same level as Dead Prez lyrically/politically.
Protato RGA you couldn’t be more right bro watching black people react to Rage is FUCKIN PRICELESS MAN and I think more should seriously listen because it would give them a whole new meaning to rock music that has political views!!!
In their live rendition, they've subbed the lyrics "Some of those who burn crosses, are the same who hold office".... That hits HARD today. I saw RATM say that, Chris Cornell sang that in Audioslave with Tom, Tim, and Brad..... This song is timeless
I used that lyric as a protest sign yesterday during a march lol
Serenity113 yessss!
When I saw Prophets Of Rage, B-Real used those lyrics, along with "Some of those up in Congress..."
Didnt know that. Gonna have to look that one up!
Rip Chris 😭
50 years old white guy in northern England, i was in my late teens when finished heard this...... I've lived ny life by these same values...... I'm glad you're along for the ride brother ❤ divide and conquer..... That's what those in charge want🎉
Stand together people, the message took from this all those years ago 😊
I just asked my mother to watch this video as a culturally important thing. She only listens to classical music.
Watching you understand the lyrics as the song plays really brings home the reality of the situation and that it is not just propaganda.
I watched this video of yours about 2 years and it touched me and I remembered.
My mother was born during World War II, central California, white, military, and poor. I was raised to be compassionate and with the golden rule. Intellectually, I have known that black people are oppressed my entire life. I didn't even begin to actually get it until the events that led to the riots a few years ago.
I wish I had a deeper Revelation to share with you. I just want you to know that we're trying and that you help.
Edit again: I was raised in Tucson which is 72% white. During the riots I lived in Vallejo which is approximately 1/4 black 1/4 Hispanic 1/4 white and 1/4 Asian. It was enlightening to say the least.
It's been a few hours since I wrote this and I would just like to point out that I know that white people are fucking stupid, and I apologize. I mean white people are ignorant. Fucking ignorant.
Cathartic reactions like this are why this song needed to be written.
So proud of you saying 'cathartic'. Most people younger than us, don't know the meaning
It was beautiful.
Cathartic yes. My comment is long winded now. Lol.
Best reaction. The realization that washed over him...amazing
Gets the exact meaning of the song immediately,
“I don’t know guys I’m just reaching?”
Sadly he did get the meaning immediately because the note rings true right away.
I don't know about that, he turned to it being about martial law under the corona virus and Rage Against the Machine being some sort of time traveling rock and rollers trying to save the future. I'm going to work it into rough script and pitch it to Netflix, they'll buy anything.
@@s.willis8426 Its because Zack raps about 2020 in another song. I've seen four black commentators and they all think the line is a conspiracy theory but Zack never meant that. Interesting how blacks jump on the Illuminati interpretation - Zack just meant people need to be clear-eyed that's all.
Best reaction to this song I have ever seen and I am literally crying from laughter atm 😂😂😂😂
This is still my favorite reaction you've ever done!!
Honey this was a lot older than 11 years. This was 1992.
Right! That lyric video he’s using was posted 11 years ago
I was waiting for this comment.
*Nails exactly what the song is about.* “I’m reaching, people.”
Thinking the exact same thing - he nails it. And his reaction is beautiful I love how much the song speaks to him.
haha just nailed it exactly until the batshit time machine stuff, but ... hey whatever it's 2020, everything is nuts.
In a way it's kinda sad and speaks to how rarely media speaks to real shit and as evidenced by his cussing outburst, it's a good and I presume liberating feeling. Seeing that feeling is the reason why this is the 3rd or 4th reaction video for this specific song I've watched, I love seeing that.
RATM ain't very subtle
LMAO I know right?
I was about 20 when this album came out. I actually had it on cassette. I used to run a crane truck for a large tar and gravel roofing company. The crane truck was brand new and had an awesome stereo in it. This particular job it took too long to get to the roof so I stayed on the ground for a month straight ten hours a day with this album on a continuous loop. Awesone time it was.
LMAO literally crying over here!!! Best reaction I have seen!! You're awesome man and happy you finally discovered RATM!!
Black folks got a lotta allies in the music industry they ain’t know abt. Look for the angry music ❤️ we been here!!!
You are SO RIGHT!! Give a listen to Audioslave, "Set It Off". 😉 💜💚💛✌️
Or Prison Song by System of a Down
Even Johnny Cash with Man in Black, not speaking just about minorities, but all the folks that get stuck in the judicial system because they lack resources.
We are here.
I’d recommend old punk (and hardcore) bands too like Bad Brains, Leftover Crack, Discharge, boysetsfire (more rock sounding), and my personal favorite Sick of it All. There are so many and we’ve been pissed!
This is the purest thing I have ever seen. As a huge Rage fan, seeing the connection to the lyrics and saying “I’m reaching...” ooooof. You got the message you beautiful man experiencing the magic of Rage for the first time. If I ever need to be put in a better mood, this will be my go to video.
I'm tired, but still... seeing such an honest reaction is kind of making me feel emotional. Seeing him feel solidarity of this band through their music, man.
I know, right. This is astonishing and beautiful and true.
❤️
This song is almost 30 years old but is completely accurate to modern issues
Thank you for putting lyrics in here! A lot of people are just like, "Wow, these guys are so hard! I don't know wtf they're saying, but this is cool!" The lyrics are so good!
You're not reaching at all, you got it right off the bat!
I also really like how much you get into the music, dancing and stuff!
(The song was actually published in 1992, so quite a long ways before 11 years ago)
“I may be reaching right now”
Well you grabbed it
Hahahahaha I’m cracking up yaaaas
The ‘machine’ is not a time machine dude. The Machine is the corporations, and the governments, and the media, the military’s etc.
pretty sure it was a joke..
lol that shit was hilarious
I think he prolly got it after the whole thing. RATM does not easily leave one’s consciousness.
I have always thought the Machine was capitalism itself. anyway, that's what I have rage against. loved the joke about it being a time machine, though.
@@zoinksscoobdoob Maybe, I'd say more, no. But it is art even I'd somewhat more deep and bold as life and art are there is room for interpretation. Bolder and deeper than most music, I mean.
🤣🤣🤣I LOVE YOUR REACTION!!!🤣🤣🤣👏 It's high time African Americans embrace this song!!!❤️👊
Yep, you got it immediately, bro! You can't NOT cuss when you listen to this song. It's physically impossible. And this actually came out in the EARLY 90s! I swear, watching ppl of color listen to rock music for the first time is my new addiction. Keep it rockin, man!
This man has just had a big moment.
Imagine when he realises its nearly 30 years old
This is the most honest reaction to Rage I ever saw. And as the others have poited out this came not 11 but almost 30 years ago and sadly it's still just as relevant. Rage was out there spitting facts
so its all of us northern hemisphere people.
Yeah when are you going to fix your shit? Or keep making songs and movies about it to make it feel more normal and relatable. Getting close to stop pitying you.
💯
@@seppoharkkonen5766yes, it’s all till it’s none
@@seppoharkkonen5766 wow I had never thought of it like that, you're so right, the system.... 😮
I LOVE watching people discover them!! I read that they are gonna do a reunion soon. I hope so. They are geniuses!
The best part of the reaction. 8:23 My dude is raging against the machine!
He's totally having an epiphany in front of us. Lol
Dont you just love it
And it was amazing
it's beautiful
Glorious. Just beautiful. I love this kid!
Always great to see. Brings me back to when I put it together
I LOVE seeing people "GET" this song!!! So much emotion, and you react the same way I do to the release at the end, "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me!!" Gets me every time.
You weren’t reaching.
i love how you're increasingly shocked with each new lyric (chant). this was amazing to watch. Rage Against the Machine! btw not 11 years old, that's just when it was uploaded. This is from the 90s, really amped up around the death of Rodney King.
I've never bought a Rage album, but DAMN, is their music as relevant now as it was back then. It's so good. It's the music that can inspire outrage over shit that you have zero experience with. They make you *feel* it.
"I'm taking a reach." No, you're not.
Not at all a reach.
@@jennymoore8509 Ye.. its not " a reach" .. its called BULLSEYE!
Rage Against the Machine.. Everything they sing about is the government machine of this world. This is the only free country on this planet, until now. We are losing freedom because they have us all fighting each other instead of the only enemy ever had. Same enemy it will always be, the government. Welcome to Rage. They weren't ahead of their time, but glad you finally are listening.
@@bettyrose959 lol fuck me mate there are MANY free countries in the world
@@hitthatrowdyy4077 Nope, there are none.
He's talking about cops, judges, and city officials being racists. Burning crosses is a KKK reference.
Some of them do burn crosses tho
Chosen whites burn crosses. KKK are part of the police he is saying. This song is epic. Truth.
*what's it called when cops, judges and city officials discriminate against white people and render injustice?*
Duh
@@OrchestralOrg thats called fuck the poor. It's the same thing except black brown and natives have an outward difference that makes it much easier to discriminate against.
Yo RATM was my first show as a lil Puerto Rican/Euro mutt chick of 15 in LA. It makes my heart smile to see anyone discovering them for the first time. You're so cool and open minded btw, love it ✌💜🤘
Dude, I've been down the rabbit hole of reactions to this song... I was in college when it came out and your reaction is the best! ✊
There are some really good ones!
"Guys, the machine HAS to be a TIME MACHINE!" - I laughed so hard I started coughing.
Then the ending... Godammit, this is now my favorite reaction video.
Lmaoo man they brung it out of me
@@MrVideo123 There's more where that came from.
I listen to a bunch of reactors ..by far you my man are ....SO FULL OF ENERGY ..NEVER CHANGE
I was nodding my head every time he came to the correct understanding of what the song was about...and then at 6:07 I could see that he had an epiphany! I thought, "Ah, it's finally dawned on him what the name of the band means!"
He then drops to his knees: "Guys...." -- In totally assured anticipation I think "Yes, that's it, you've got this" -- "...the machine..." -- I take a big sip of tea -- "...HAS TO BE A TIME MACHINE!!!!!!"
I fucking spat out a whole heap of tea over all over myself and my computer!!! LMFAO!!!
Me tooo. 😂😂
I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants.
Oh honey. Almost 30 years ago, not 11. Sadly still relevant.
Goddamn, when did we get so old, lol.
28 years ago. I'm actually class of 92. I was 18 when this came out. Lol. I watched that beating of Rodney King the very next day. Then followed the news when the cops were acquitted and thst riot started IMMEDIATELY!!!
Crazy times. Sadly nothing has changed! But only getting worse even. Or can we say, it's always been the same only now it's moreso being recorded by the palms of our hands
@@roya6617 I think it's probably gotten even worse. Qualified immunity was still relatively new back then, being based on a ruling from 1982. And police wasn't nearly as militarized. Defence department program 1033 was initiated in 1997.
@@DanGolag I may have to agree with you on all that. Peace to you
This ALWAYS makes me smile when i see people get this song!
Back again. Because this is, hands down, the BEST. REACTION. VIDEO. on the internet, EVER.
That moment someone realizes punk/metal is sometimes raging against the same machine as NWA.
Sometimes? Fuck the man is the foundation punk and metal was built on.
NWA was here to poison the people 💯
Punk and Hip-Hop have always had the same culture, just different expressions of it.
I suggest being careful of neo-nazi bands, if you don't want that bs in your ears just do a quick google search of the lyrics or " is (name of the band) neo-nazi?".
@@emiliecoteb7 yeah be careful cuz then you might blow your eyes wide open & realize all the mainstream music industry is b*******
Killing In The Name was written at a key moment in recent American history. The beating of black motorist Rodney King by four LAPD officers in March 1991, captured on CCTV footage, had enraged the nation after it was serially beamed across every news channel.
"Killing in the Name" has been described as "a howling, expletive-driven tirade against the ills of American society." The uncensored version contains the word "fuck" 17 times. The song builds in intensity, as Zack de la Rocha chants the line "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me", murmuring the line the first four times, building in a crescendo the next four times and screaming angrily the line the final eight times culminating with De La Rocha's screaming "Motherfucker!" The song alludes to the history of some US police force officers being part of white supremacist organizations, such as the Ku Klux Klan, whose symbol is the burning cross. The BBC News website refers to it as railing against "the military-industrial complex, justifying killing for the benefit of, as the song puts it, the chosen whites." The song reflects the racial tensions that exist in the United States; it was released six months after the Los Angeles Riots, which were triggered by the acquittal of four white police officers who beat black motorist Rodney King.
“I was in LA when the whole Rodney King episode went down,” explains Garth Richardson, producer of the song and 1992’s self-titled parent album. “That was a big thing for the city. Zack and I had a long talk about the power of speech and how whatever he needed to say, he had to say it. Malcolm X was a major influence in Zack’s life, and this was not the time to back down.”
Thank you
I was gonna say it was wayyyyy longer than 11 years ago!! I drive around blasting that shot Not Today!!!!!! So perfect!!!!
Thanks for all this Education behind the Song!!! Thank You!!!
You are very welcome! Happy to help anytime.
I always thought it was about Malice Green
Stumbled across this channel yesterday half asleep, and I can not stop watching. I want to take a flight from Sweden and hang out with this dude and listen to random weird music!!!!!
Mr. Video I've been following your channel for a while now, even your other channel watching breaking bad and sunny in Philly with you and I am watching some of your old stuff again I got to say I love the moments when the batteries fall out of your remote. You've come a long way, good for you brother!
Love the epiphany this man is having listening to RATM and realizing that these sentiments have been around for a while. This old punk is glad to see a new generation listening.
Finally.....people are listening to this song the way it should've been in the first place...I'm 41 years old and we were screaming this shit with these guys in the mid 90's...welcome you millennials...this song is more relevant now than ever, glad it made it outta the vault for this generation...thank you to MGK amd travis barker for redoing it too, I'm sure that the 1st version alot if these kids heard of this song
"Some of those that work forces are the same they burn crosses" -RATM 28 years ago
Excuse me sir, they aren’t millennials we are in our 30’s now lol.
Millennials are in their 30's now, you probably mean Gen Z. I'm a millennial and we listened to Rage back in middle school/high school.
It's what happens when you get old, you lose track of entire generations 🤣, thanks for the correction guys
Man...Now I watched this video three days in a row. Every Single time it makes me feel so much better because you are so into it!!! I totally enjoy your passion. Very likable! Thank you!
Dude, i been watching your movie and show reactions for a long ass time. I had no idea your music stuff was up here. This was so good and the end where you started cussing had me laughing so hard!
They didn't came from the future, Things just never changed.
THIS^^^^💯💯💯👏👏
This. Sad but 💯
Fuck aint this the truth
Sadly true
The soldiers were like the police back in ancient times. Jesus' response to a soldier:
“And the soldiers likewise demanded of Him, saying, And what shall we do? And He said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.” - Luke 3:14, KJV
Love seeing peoples third eye open when listening to RATM.
you can see it written all over their faces and it's amazing
@406 OUTDOOR meditate... Imagine yourself in a room with a window... Open it, and you will see.
Amen and I'm an athiest
@406 OUTDOOR its behind your left knee
Giggety
I still love that this is your 3rd most popular video and you’re doing it in front a tv old school.
I know I'm late to the party but watching you pace the room as you absorb the song, getting worked up, and in the end screaming the lyrics along with the song....and then still reeling from it afterward.....yep. That's how a lot of us reacted when we first heard this one.
Watching someone realize how true RATM's message and music is for the first time is my new favorite thing.
Same
Word
First time I've ever commented on a video. EVER. In like 10 years. Dude I'm in tears from laughing right now. Watching you go from "I can't say these cuss words guys, I've been trying to keep it clean a little more lately..." to screaming "F*CK YOU THEN!!" repeatedly was AWESOME. You experienced what all of us have when blasting Rage. Great stuff man - keep on keeping it real. Liked and subscribed. Thank you for the great entertainment friend.
BEST reaction to thus song I have ever seen! I'm so grateful you has the lyrics up. LMAO when you learned your were right 😍
I feel you man. On so many levels. I love all of your videos. Thank you so much.
