That line “They don’t gotta burn the books, they just remove them” means so much more here in 2024. ‘Cause that’s happening right now.
Especially in places like Florida and my home state of Texas.
"weapons, not food, not homes, not shoes, not need - just feed the war cannibal animal. I walk the corner to the rubble that used to be a library; line up to the mind cemetery now.
Zach's lyrics have always been and always will be utterly heartbreaking.
@@paigeharrison3909 Just sex books aimed towards toddlers published by fascist trans wokesters.
Ur an insane person if you think florida is wrong for taking books with adult sexual activities out of public elementary schools. Mainstream media sheep
Especially when people are using cell phones to get Google approved search results to learn things these days it hits waaaay different
i found an important thing about someone called Genovevo de la O:
"Genovevo de la O (January 3, 1876 - June 12, 1952) was an important figure in the Mexican Revolution in Morelos.
He was born in Santa María Ahuacatitlán, Morelos, to sharecropper parents. He was dedicated to the plight of Mexico's peasants and came to be an outstanding Liberation Army of the South guerrilla general. After Emiliano Zapata's death, he and the other guerrillas threw their lot in with Álvaro Obregón and went on to become a minor but long-lasting figure in national politics."
Found this on Genius:
"Zach is dropping hits like Genovevo de la O, he’s not just sitting on the commode (slang for toilet), basically doing nothing. In regards to his own work, Zach is saying “deliver revolutionary material like Genovevo de la O or quit making music and go do something else”.
Sly reference to the idiom “Sh!t, or get off the pot” - meaning to get moving!"
Zach’s grandfather was a revolutionary in Mexico and fought in the Mexican Revolutionary war. Zach spent a lot of time on a commune after RATM broke up. He’s very much still connected with his Chicano roots
"This dude is scratching on the guitar" - this song came out today (Mar 30) about 30 years ago, and felt the exact same way!!
De La O = Genovevo de la O, Mexican revolutionary. Zack drops A LOT of references to the Mexican revolution/more current struggles in his lyrics, as he's of primarily Mexican-American descent, with members of his family being involved in the revolution during the early 20th century. Fun fact: RATM and Tool are close friends, and RATM's guitarist Tom Morello grew up with Tool's guitarist Adam Jones. Maynard James Keenan of Tool was almost the singer for RATM - he sings the bridge of Rage's "Know Your Enemy."
I've heard Bulls On Parade a trillion times and I didn't know what "De La O" meant until now.
@@winstonsmithamm I always thought it was just a call out to himself De La Roche
They know we about to dive into some fire!!!😂
And YES definitely more Rage!
Every single song of their first 2 albums is simply amazing! There's lots of great bands but RATM have always just been on another level!
Genovevo de la O was a Mexican Revolutionary. Possibly a Zapatista Revolutionary. Zack appears in a number of projects without RATM. There is a project with former Mars Volta drummer Jon Theodore and maybe someone from Queens of the Stone Age.
It's called One Day as a Lion a good song is "Wild International." And any song he does with Run the Jewels if fire, pure hip hop. Songs like "Close Your Eyes (And Count to Fu
Zack is one of Ren’s favourite lyricists
The rest of the world: “Yeah, but a guitar can only produce so many different sounds…”
Tom Morello: “Hold my beer.”
You've been Tom Morello'ed!
This song is about America’s military industrial complex and how we fund the military over helping our own citizens. “What we don’t know keeps the contracts alive and moving” (government contracts with defense/weapons manufacturers) “They don’t gotta burn the books the just remove them (government keeps the people in the dark so it can do what it wants). While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells (we keep buying weapons as fast as we imprison citizens) They rally round your family with a pocket full of shells. Amazing track. I hope you either do People of the Sun or Down Rodeo next.
I'm pretty sure it's actually about a parade where they have bulls showcasing the ranchers pride and joy. 👍😂
@@lperea21Keep trying. Comedy is hard.
Is it? Who are you to say what it is about? What makes you the RATM authority? Bloody idiots on the internet.
Down Rodeo and Wake Up would be my suggestions. You can do Killing In The Name Of. That's cool. But something like Guerilla Radio is more what I know them for. And yes, lyrics, and maybe Google, too. Zach puts history books in his bars. Yes, Tom Morello is scratching on a guitar....guy's a guitar god.
Wake up hands down
Yup, reactors almost always start on killing in the name, and its a horrid intro into what RATM is capable of. It has a great meaning, but killing in the name is more of a anthem than a lyrical piece. Worth listening to, and knowing, but not a top recommendation in my opinion. Your recs are what I'd like to see reactors start with more often. Calm like a bomb is one of my all time favs as well.
Calm Like a Bomb too
Know your Enemy
THIS is why I watch reaction videos. For the reactor to pause a lot and tell us their thoughts. You did exactly that and I love that!!
For sure
If you listen closely, zack says, "THEY rally 'round YO family..."
"THEY rally 'round THA family..."
"WE rally 'round YO family..." with a pocket full of shells.
some deep ish right there ✊🏾
Certainly one of the greatest lyricists of all time..."They don't gotta burn the books/They just remove 'em", heh, that has got to be one of the most subversive lines of all time...Your channel has a great vibe; you have a great speaking voice. Subscribed. Definitely would like to see comments on "Killing"...Enjoyed the story about beginning your musical education by listening to your dad's collection. I always hoped I was able to do that for my son and we did bond a lot over music...
Wake Up
Bullet In The Head
Know Your Enemy
Fistful Of Steel
Sleep Now In The Fire
And that's just for starters!
Live is great, but for first listens always go the studio version and ALWAYS have the lyrics up.
Enjoy!
as much as I love most of their songs for that raw sound, Renegades of funk is still one of my favorite songs from them, its so different and still amazing
This was released post Rodney King when the officers were acquitted for the heinous beating and riots exploded in L.A. THE WEALTHY appear to be above the law...the WEALTHY control the politicians that design the laws to keep the HAVE-NOTS in line. This one gives me chills TO THIS DAY. Fantastic reaction man!!!!
My band from 2007 - 2009 used this as our opening song. I've been trying for years to find the videos. Our singer almost sending identical to Zac.
Tom is one of most unique guitar players ever and has given sooooo much to music over the years! Badass band!
The live version is amazing, enjoyed your reaction.
Check out 'Know your enemy '
'Down Rodeo'
'Freedom'
actually just check out all of their songs, theirs a good reason that they are one of Rens fave bands!!
Seen these guys in concert in Washington DC in 98. Was awesome
Thats what 'rage' sounds like! 🔥
When people began seeing Tom Morello do that "scratching" for the first time, there were tens of thousands of guitar players, many of whom were quite accomplished, all mumbling the same thing: "I didn't know you could do that"...
My personal favourite guitar player of all time!
He put hip hop onto guitar and it fits absolute perfect with Ratm!
Fist Full of Steel!! Another awesome BANGER
I died at "Chocolate flavoured starfish" 😂😂😂😂 Once you know what chocolate starfish was/is, it's utterly funny 🤣
It still works... Spoon anyone?
@@lperea21 Mail it?
don't forget the Hotdog Flavored Water
Like the old rusty sheriff badge
Saw them in ‘91…they’re still as relevant today as back then.
Voting yes for more Rage Against The Machine!
I was also a nu metal kid growing up. I got into metal when I was 11 (through Nightwish) and then nu metal in my teens, then different subgenres of metal after that. I've been a metalhead for about 20 years, just got into hiphop last year because of Knox Hill's reactions and Ren. I've liked some rappers before that (and I've been slowly getting into other genres besides metal, rock and punk since my early 20s), but Knox really made me start to understand rap as a genre and Ren's Hi Ren was the first rap song I ever loved as much as I love metal. I'm still kind of a newbie with rap and hiphop, but I'm learning.
Also, Tom Morello is such a dope guitarist!
Love the rhyming breakdown. I don’t know much about it, I just know if it sounds good to me. I’m a musician so I understand that end. It’s awesome to see the technical aspect of lyrics . Great reaction
After Rage broke up Chris Cornell came in for Zack And became Audioslave Great band also
Their debut album is one of the few perfect, flawless albums. 1992 Baby…
I can (& do) still rock this from beginning to end just like when I bought the CD back when it came out 😆 I’ll pop back & comment if I can find it, but I saw a top-notch first time reaction to the entire album beginning to end. Made me so happy lol!!
The reactor referenced above is “Top 5 Rap Website” - I hate to use a reactor’s comment section to directly link to a different reactor, but it’s easy to search & find if you’re so inclined 😉
Of course it would be a straight up gift if Anthony would do the full album too lol!
"Drop and don't copy" sounds like a commentary on hip-hop. I could be wrong but.... Love your literary analysis. It is so nice to hear an educated voice from your generation. You obviously read. .. No google diploma with you! Rock on!
One of my all time favorite bands 💜
Way ahead of their time while being so unique and inspirational. Not many bands can make you feel what they do and also inspire you to want to do something about it.
I would suggest:
"Wake Up" (this next would be best)
"Down Rodeo"
"Know your enemy"
If you want something a lil different RATM did a whole album of covers. One of the songs is
"How I Could Just Kill A Man" Rage Against the Machine - original by Cypress Hill - GREAT COVER by Rage
I studied poetry many, many moons ago and I appreciate your intelligent break-down of the lyrics. This was probably the song that got the most air-play back then. I felt some hope when Rage burst on the scene because the 80s had so much commercial, apolitical stuff dominating the air-waves. I felt a big "Yes!" burst out of my numbed soul. Some thirty years later, they are still relevant. When you mentioned Killing In the Name and said, "cause I know that one's against the system", I said out loud, "They all are. Get ready, brother."
I knew you were gonna “Jam The F*¢k Out!” to this song. The Face you make at 2:26 just proved my point! Zack de la Rocha’s Unique Voice, Bars, Delivery & Stage Presence, Commands Attention!!! Backed By Guitar Juggernaut Tom Morello & The Slammin’ Rhythm Section of Tim Commerford on Bass and Brad Wilk on Drums. Makes them one of the Sickest Band’s of the 90’s and (in my opinion) of all time. 🔥
I was a teen when they released this album. I first heard it in HS from friends.
Favorite band. Filthy is a perfect description. Great reaction
The delayed stankface @9:26 was hilarious
Check killing in the name too
Love the story about the wall of CDs. Exactly how my house was set up. I grew up with Nas, early OutKast, Wu-Tang.. Because of my stepdad, however, I was the first one in school with Tools Opiate, Metallicas Ride the Lightning etc.
ey takes me back to high school days.!!!! banging
RATM = subbed; love the dissection of his rhyming!
And in regards to scratching on a guitar: PEARANHA by Berried Alive. He plays guitar like a god and the bass goes right to your soul...
Yeah man "chant" is a very good word to use
If there's one RAtM song that just doesn't get enough attention, it's Wake Up. Very lyric-heavy for them too, so you'll have plenty to break down.
.
Tom Morello plays, like, a million different instruments. Difference is, they're all guitar. That dude can make a guitar do absolutely anything.
one of the best react from this song that i ever saw! Nice interpretation of the lyrics
Township rebellion, wake up, gorilla radio, people of the sun and bullet in the head in that order lol gave you some work AR much love
I'm currently learning all of Tim Commerford's bass parts so well immersed into RATM and Audioslave. Highly recommend Bombtrack, Wake Up, Down Rodeo, Testify, Guerilla Radio, Bullet In The Head, Calm Like A Bomb, How I Could Just Kill A Man, and Maggie's Farm
Emphasis on Maggie's Farm and Guerilla Radio bc those are my favorite to play
Rage Against The Machine is the Best and one of the Pioneers of the Hip-Hop side of Nu-Metal!
“Rodeo” is about the Injustice of Native Americans and the video is FIRE 🔥 They were one of the first Mainstream Bands that talked about that subject. So you know I’m all about it.
Check out Rage's debut record for sure, straight 🔥 front to back not a single skip
"Renegades Of Funk" ... check out his lyricism on that song!
This one takes me back for sure.
Glad you liked The Warning the other day, if you want to check them out again I recommend any song from the Teatro cdmx that you like the name of or go back to their first music video XXI Century Blood.
10 Years ago now my brother, I tried to tell you they were fire
This is one of my favorite songs, but they've got a bunch of good ones. Combination of a well-delivered, intentional message, crazy guitar licks, and that little bit of spice with samples and mixing.
I learned bass because of this. The bass slap was addicting arrrrrrgggghhh
I LOVE THIS SONG!
Dude, always love your reacts!!! Keep'em coming and Spiral out!!
"That song is against the system and stuff", yea you should check out all their other songs xD ps. glad u noticed the guitar static coming in on the left ear during the last break! A very nice touch to the song
Skip killing in the name of. Everyone knows it, and its bars are simple (yet powerful.)
Break down the lyrics of Vietnow, Bullet In The Head, Wake Up, Take the Power Back, People of the Sun, Maria, Down Rodeo, Know Your Enemy.
Tom Morello on the guitar 🎸 badass..
It’s also helpful to know what the current events in America were at that time. The phrase “rally around the family” was the motto of the religious right (which also had what they called the Moral Majority). They were heavily involved in politics and campaigning for censorship of music, movies, books, art, etc. They were the driving force behind the Satanic Panic during the ‘80’s and early ‘90’s. You can actually see footage of the lead singer from Twisted Sister, Frank Zappa, and other artists giving interviews and testifying before Congress on the matter. They did score some wins. They are the reason we now have ratings on movies, music, and video games. That movement eventually became quieter, but never went away. They’ve been working more behind the scenes and we are now seeing a resurgence of their ideology in our society and politics at large. I feel like we are now reliving it and there’s a lot at stake for us if they win. They’ve never been shy about saying that they are pro-life….unless you oppose them or even just hold different beliefs than they do. Then they want you dead. Or at least incarcerated. And if you don’t want war, they claim you hate our troops and are anti-soldier. Even though they are the ones sending those soldiers to die for nothing and them refusing to really support then beyond lip service when (or if) they come back. But they always claimed that they were saving our families. Thus the “rally around the family” tagline. Of course this only applies to their version of the perfect husband, wife, and kids family with stereotypical gender roles.
When you watch the live video for “Killing in the Name”, it means more of you know what Zach is referring to in the beginning. President George W Bush had recently said “I am the decider” when he was questioned about what he was doing.
Digging your channel! Had to subscribe. I'm Gen X & was in my very early 20s on Long Island in the early 90s when I was jamming to RATM and many other genres & generations of music of all sorts and from many nations. Thats how I was raised. If we can have diversity in friends, family and heck - even stocks, we can and should diversify and expand our tastes in music. That's the beauty of it all.
That said, you've got to deep dive into RATM's "FREEDOM" and "DOWN RODEO" (pronounced Ro-Day-Yo for some newbies I've met that are unsure. :) it's all good). My faves and need to be blasted loud. Too incredible!
Peace everybody,
Jen
Please do more Rage 🙏. Honestly couldn’t go wrong with the whole first album (self titled).
De la O was a Mexican revolutionary.
Would be great to do any/all Rage songs that you want to! One of my all-time favorite bands
The “de la O” character is a reference to Genovevo de la O who was a general in the guerrilla force called the Liberation Army of the South. - from the americansongwriter site. Mexican revolutionary
Your breakdown was awesome by the way.
Tom Morello is a Monster on Guitars💪😎
Saw Rage in 1996 at Sloss Furnace, which I think is less than 2k people. Amazing. Saw them in 97 with Wu-Tang as well
❤ RATM
First time viewer here (new sub, loved the reaction and RATM is phenomenal). Just wanted to say thank you for mentioning Linkin Park because ever since I clicked on the video I was thinking "this dude looks familiar" but I couldn't place it. It was Mike Shinoda.
Zach is dropping hits like Genovevo de la O, he’s not just sitting on the commode (slang for toilet), basically doing nothing. In regards to his own work, Zach is saying “deliver revolutionary material like Genovevo de la O or quit making music and go do something else”.
A sly reference to the idiom “Sh!t, or get off the pot” - meaning to get moving!
*De La O* is not a band, he was a *Mexican Revolutionary*
Very few own their moves like Tom Morello with the scratching. Over 20 years it's been and no one but him is given mass credit for doing this.
Def do Know your Enemy with Maynard from Tool❤😊 oh Guerilla Radio too!! Love them since early 90's yes rap/rock
One of the greatest, most Influential bands, of all time. Do not underestimate their influence.
I'm always down for Rage
Thank you for getting the lyrics when listening to RATM! Please always listen with lyrics. People miss so much lyrical gold when they don't use lyrics when listening to their music. Have a great day!
LOVE RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE!! DEFINITELY HERE FOR IT!!
hey Tony
i love the hair on this
I think you are the only tuber that acknowledged the bass.
I would suggest wake up, listening to that song you can clearly hear some (musical) inspiration for tools lateralus.
Fistful of Steel (Live 1993)
Everyone does Killing in the Name, awesome song, but want to dive into RATM pick one like Down Rodeo, Guerrilla Radio, or Take the Power Back
Hotdog flavored water and the chocolate starfish😅
I used to think it was a reference to de la soul, but found out De La O is a Mexican Revolutionary, which makes sense as De La Rocha comes from a long line of Mexican revolutionaries.
awesome react video man. couple thoughts: de la O in the first verse refers to a Zapatisa revolutionary (which Zach is all about) I think but is also probably a play on zach "de la rOcha". The reason it sounds like nu metal is because Rage is literally proto nu metal (or whatever the fuck "rap rock" is) and every nu metal band would probably happily acknowledge that. Killing in the name would be cool but you should really react to Freedom or Sleep Now In The Fire or Know Your Enemy
Flippin' loved your reaction chief. Cracking band. Not sure it would get views but New Model Army are an English anarchist band but sound really dated now, since they started in the mid 80's but still get me moshing and freaking out to the lyrics. Best song ever is White Coats in my uncultured opinion. Another band that doesn't seem to get true recognition is The Wonderstuff, again a 90's band but with some very decent albums. Love the song Room 410
The "Rally around the family, with a pocket full of shells" is referencing how politicians at the time (mostly republican, but democrats too) liked to say they were "Rallying around the family" to justify their actions, but at the same time they were really just bought by the gun/military lobbies. Most of this song is about the military/industrial complex. Money for shells, but not food/schools etc...
🤟🤟🤟 Great reaction!
You need to check out Know your enemy asap!
i dont mind analysis videos that someone already saw. im one of those people who cant understand where the first time listening thing came from.
RATM - Maria has some deep and dark lyrics.
Fuck yes RATM TIME
This song has a lot of social topics, one comes from the album entirely - Evil Empire is a dig at Regan who called the USSR that. (Zach and Tom are socialist-communists). “Bulls on Parade” refers to Republicans whose party is the elephant (a bull elephant is a male) intertwined with a bullish market which is an aggressively rise in stocks. The connection: funding war. Greed.
There’s a LOT to unpack in the lyrics, that’s just one.
Haha Saturday…..
Stopfkuchen is a German word that means stuffing cake.
You’re not ready for this!
Don't even bother with Killing in the Name. So many more songs that they have that are must listen to.
I do love Nu-Metal and it had/has some legit bands that i still listen to anyday... but Rage Against The Machine , for me, was /is the only band i've ever truly considered Rap-Metal/Metal-Rap/Hip-Hop-Metal/Metal-Hip-Hop (and they even go as far as to expertly mix Funk into many of their songs)! By far one of the best bands i've ever listened to!
Live performance filmed Sydney Big Day Out 1996.
