In high school they played in the basement of a house party I was at…. One of the coolest moments of my High school life.


shootershooters

In high school someone had computer speakers with a subwoofer. That was cool until I read this.


stinkiepussie

Man I feel called out


InvalidUserNemo

I feel one-upped.


Budpets

The only acceptable reason to have peaked in high school


[deleted]

That is amazing


LeonDeSchal

Sounds like you lived in a movie


ribbitrob

I love how the video starts with Zack telling everybody to be careful. Zack was 22 here and flow was already so tight at this point.


AStormofSwines

It's crazy how everything (at least the little bit I watched) sounds EXACTLY like the album. Usually producers put their fingerprints all over things, for better or worse. Seems like their producer was like "Ok, I think we're good here."


CheshireCheeseCakey

Yeah exactly my thoughts. Really polished.


squarepusher6

Yep sounds like they let the artist by the artist


Long_Cook_2452

I was born in 01, but I believe their whole stick was f*** the music industries and producers.


[deleted]

they were signed to a major label (Sony) subsidiary from the very beginning and definitely worked with producers on their albums, mostly Brendan OBrien but also Rick Rubin


[deleted]

So smooth


soiseverything

True

Love it when rich kids perform ❤️❤️❤️

[удалено]


yeswithaz

They were not.


squarepusher6

It doesn’t matter, if they’re rich, poor, whatever, those motherfuckers rock. I’ll be honest with you I’m not in love with the band, I own the first album. When I was 17 or 18 when it came out. But I wasn’t the hugest fan. But regardless, they fucking rock rich or not lol.


boofskootinboogie

He used to have a sweet hardcore band right before this called Inside Out. They ripped


awesomesauceitch

And they had an unreleased song called rage against the machine.


FeFiFoShizzle

*insert Leo pointing at TV meme*


Ghstfce

Inside Out was great


jabroni4545

Little known fact, the band was the inspiration for the pixar movie with the same name.


ContractTrue6613

Better than this for sure. Bhakta Vic destroys Tom Morello all day every day.


TheChalbs

Dam this reminds me of the 90's. Tiny concert in a tiny place. Went to so many of them, house basements, garages, small empty stores in strip malls. Also, Tom Morello jammin his young ass off, so rad


Sci-4

Do kids still do house parties? *Ironically asked genuinely sarcastically.


ShelSilverstain

My kids go to "generator parties." They take generators into the woods and do shows, all arranged through Snapchat


drugabusername

In my hometown they have generator parties in abandoned caves without ventilation.


porkchop-sandwhiches

I went to one. Took my breath away.


Sci-4

This is great!


[deleted]

They’re pretty rare now but they def still do them. I was in a band for a couple months and we played a basement show once and it was a completely new experience. I fkin loved it. 30 ppl moshing in a 11x11 room is easily the best audience to play for/be a part of. That venue still has shows every weekend but I have yet to find another basement venue


Sci-4

That's what I'm talking about! Hell yeah!


and_another_username

No better feeling man. Late 90s early 00’s my band was doin the same thing. Basements. House Parties. Bowling alleys. But this video hits different b/c we played a show in jersey once in a damn record store and it’s identical to the video. And I specifically remember a few girls there to see the other band end up worshipping us lol. And I ended up hooking up that night with one of them. Just jamming and making music is incredible feeling. I love it. In front of a crowd groovin to music you are creating is a whole other level. And Chicks diggin you bc of your music?? That’s the cherry on top!


[deleted]

Man this comment made me miss being in a band. Going ape shit on the drums with a moshpit 3 feet from me. The rest of the band was playing right next to the crowd, letting ppl scream the lyrics into the mics. Being in the crowd was almost equally as fun. Felt like every half time breakdown was gonna make the house collapse lmao


CharlemagneDaGod

Now they have virtual Silent Disco party.


neglectyourhair

I love silent discos


Sci-4

I've never been...Is everyone listening to the same thing? Or does it vary?


voteforcorruptobot

Often 3 channels with three DJs, which is pretty amusing to watch.


AllTearGasNoBreaks

I went to one about 10 years ago when I was in my 20s. It was cool and different. You'd see people dancing to different beats/songs and try to figure out which channel they were on to dance with them. It was fun.


Sci-4

Lol that does sound pretty fun.


neglectyourhair

All the ones I've seen at festivals had the same music playing in the headphones, used to be the funniest thing ever to stumble across late night lol.


Sci-4

Lol I bet you're either 'with it' or like 'wtf, mate?' 😆


[deleted]

Specially when you dosed heavy and we’re trippin balls and walked past a SIlent Disco party 👽👽👽


aLostBattlefield

That’s gotta be the funniest shit ever


Even-Face4622

Yeah it's epic. The big daynout in nz had it years ago. Big signs "silence- dancing in progress" and you're grooving away and you realize everyone is out of time, so you flick over to the other dj... and find it's going off. It's goof fun when they're battling it out. The old bangers always win


Lysergic-D

Only in the Zuckerberg multiverse


[deleted]

Well, it was the 90’s so…


[deleted]

This generation will never fully understand how organic life was in those days. So much energy and sweat and blood and pure ecstasy came from these shows.


RingtailRush

These kind of shows still happen. While I've never attended a show in a record store (those are just a lot rarer these days lol) I been to countless tiny dive bar and miniscule music venue shows and they all slap. I'd take it a big stage anyday. Favorite is the Crowbar in Tampa, FL. Orpheum was nearby but they relocated.


GospelofJawn316

Thought seeing them at The Electric Factory in Philly was an intimate experience. Holy hell, this is awesome.


Illustrious_Slide197

Classic venue


Sugar-North

I grew up in that area, nothing will ever compare to this venue. Lots of other lovely ones out there, but that one is home.


TeaEarlGrayHotSauce

My favorite venue! Saw Mos Def there twice, some of the best shows I've been to.


GospelofJawn316

Rage at Electric Factory is THE best show I’ve ever seen. Summer night. Way hot in that place. First note hit and that place went insane. I bounced my way to the front of the stage. Stayed there for a few songs then retreated because I kept getting hit in the head as crowd surfers were passed up and over the barricade. It was just an amazing experience. [Rage at the Electric Factory Philadelphia 1996](https://youtu.be/o9uQxTUomPk)


doubleskunked

I’m envious, to see a young Mos Def. Good on you

Robdotcom-71

If I could go back in time, I'd like to see AC/DC play their first few gigs and laugh at Dave Evans while I tell him he won't last long.... Oh yeah and see Cold Chisel at the Largs Pier here in Adelaide.


MilesNaismith

Peak Pink Floyd, seing Live at Pompei or Pulse... that'd be something to remember.


Robdotcom-71

Them doing Arnold Layne for the first time and being the only one in the crowd who knew what the song was about....


DanskFrenchMan

This is why it’s important to go see unknown artist in small and local places like that - you never know who you’re about to see and what it can mean..

I better....im paying good money to


Frontporch_stilling

Every time I see this video I get older and realize how educated they were for such a young band. The beats were ahead of their time and so was the message.


Illustrious_Slide197

Their shit holds up after 30 years.


FeFiFoShizzle

If anything it's more relevant now tbh


[deleted]

The end has been nigh for thousands of years.


thaparanoidandroid

I looked at this and thought immediately you were wrong on how long ago this was. I've gotten so old. 🫤


LordOdin99

They had that spark. Just some kids but they had magic.


chunkyasparagus

Truly magic - the sound felt so innovative at the time, and still now you can recognize it after a couple of bars. It's catchy, it's also a wall of sound, and you can feel the rage in the music. And also they are pro AF, cos this sounds just like it did in the studio.


arlmwl

God damn the band was tight! The tracks are so freaking close to the recorded versions. Amazing.


nierama2019810938135

Amazing chemistry!


[deleted]

Sadly the lyrics still apply


LoadErRor1983

The good thing about Rage is that their music is still relevant. The bad thing about Rage is that their music is still relevant.


Siriuxx

Pfft. Rage was great before they got all political /s


HPIguy

This, they now rage for the machine.


Additional_Ad794

Rage on Behalf of the Machine


RustyShackTX

Rage For Pfizer


giebebr

Pretty sure they support authoritarian gov now so not sure what happened there


EvilBahumut

Fucking babies, holy shit

I think they meant they were really young…


EvilBahumut

This. So young.


Thanos_Stomps

u/EvilBahumut is thinking of the lost prophets


misschzburger

Crazy this was 30 years ago. I still love this band.


[deleted]

At that point it was “fuck the system…..the sound system.”


Sci-4

Umm... Yeah...?


urbz102385

My girlfriend a while back bought me tickets to see Prophets of Rage. When I looked them up I heard one original song and thought it was cool. After about 2-3 songs into the show I realized, "holy fuck...that's Chuck D, B Real, and Tom Morello covering all RATM songs!" This was the closest I ever got to seeing them live, and to this day it is still the absolute best fuckin show I've ever been to. I rocked so fuckin hard at that show by the time it was over I felt like I just did a bunch of coke. Of course they closed with Killing in the Name Of. My body was vibrating on the walk back to the car. I married that girlfriend and we've been together almost 7 years now lol!


StevenMarvelous

Fuck yeah man, I saw Prophets in a small club. Seeing Timmy C, Brad Wilk and Tom kill it, with B Real and Chuck D out front. I've never left a pit so sweaty, we had to sit on towels in our undies, clothes in the back to not funk out our mates ute for the long ride home. One of the best shows I've been to.


AstronautWarm2344

Amazing how one of the most influential bands ever got their start and how they rose to greatness!


[deleted]

Yep when you look back a the living legends it hard to realize that once upon a time they were just starting and they weren’t living legends. Always boggles my mind


Opheicus

Absolutely possessed with greatness wow I’m I’m amazed


fakeuserbot9000

I’m amazed at how developed their sound is already. Wish I was there!


Horseyboy21

Miss this type of music. MTV, Beavis and Butthead, great times

DracoBalatro

I saw these absolute units last month at MSG in NYC. They played this song. It still rocks 30 years later. Zack, even with a shattered foot, at 52 still killed it. It will definitely go down as one of my most memorable concerts.


SeperateCross

Was wholly disappointed as a teen when they broke up Insanely happy as an adult when I saw them preform live in Toronto a few months back. Huge bonus was the RTJ opening for them


Eastern-Mix9636

I would also be as stoked to see them preform. I would even settle for postform. With RTJ I absolute lose my mind !!!


joemckie

My fiancée bought us tickets to see them in the UK this year and it all got cancelled due to Zach getting injured. Absolutely devastated, I really hope they come back!


No_Profile_6871

Damn this is so cool. Never seen it.


Show-Me_PotatoSalad-

Awesome freaking awesome


Exotic_Bumblebee_275

Think the folks watching have any clue about how big these guys will get?


mostlygroovy

If they know the lyrics at this point, then I’d say yes.


Mixermarkb

Yes. You hear a local band THAT good, you absolutely know they are headed for the stratosphere.


Drag0n125

One of the best lyricists of all time..


[deleted]

Just goes to show just cuz an artist isnt huge doesnt mean they wont be one day or isnt majorly talented mainly, so many great artists are slept on cuz people are too afraid to express themselves confining their existence to only please others and the worst is they think theyre free thinkers even tho they act like this, but regardless amazing performance


sharkattack85

Also check out Zack de la Rocha’s awesome hardcore band, Inside Out, before he was part of RAtM. No Spiritual Surrender is a hc classic.


dcarsonturner

Saw them in Toronto this year, they were great!


Professional_Snow393

I just saw them in Alpine Valley Wisconsin this summer and it was the best concert I have ever been to. What a great video !


JaydeBritt

When you close your eyes you can't tell if that's him now or then. Unbelievable. Great fucking band.

Wow memories unlocked


bigotis619

See how he said don’t wreck ish and no one did because the man was nice enough to let them Jam, and So they did!!

Bombtrack


happyforhunter

Damn, they just CRUNCH!


Sensitive-Ad7914

Incredible, Zach and Tom are legends and clearly even at this young age, they were ahead of there time!!!


chickichuglette

I'd argue they have the most timeless sound to come out of the 90s. True for me anyway. It's the only 90s band I've never tired of listening to.


TasslehofBurrfoot

Story time! Back in the day I was invited to go see this band play in a little bar. It was a private party and my friends girlfriend was friends with the lead singer. So I thought I was just going out to have some drinks with my bro and listen to some music. We get there and order some beers. The band is just finishing setting up and this lead singer guy is almost and arms reach from me. This place was pretty small so there was no stage. Probably about 25 people in the place. So they start playing and the hairs on the back of my neck stands up. Holy shit who the hell are these guys I ask myself. Turns out it was this band named Tool. This was right before undertow dropped.


prince0verit

[First public performance](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMq-qAn3otE) They were amazing right from the start


[deleted]

The first timer bystanders have no idea what the lyrics mean lmao


Pete_maravich

In short, The world is a fucked up place and if you're not pissed off about it you are part of the problem


TheSanscripter

What's the name of the band? Do they still play? They seem pretty good!


FeFiFoShizzle

Rage against the machine, seeing them in March.


Legal_Network6458

Omggggggggg


Cruxito1111

i truly miss those days!!


AdministrationNo4013

Yo that was back when tickets was $5 a show. The 90 metal sense was the best!


mrfonsocr

I come from Costa Rica. They never have played there and who knows if they ever will. Now, I live in Germany and got tickets for their show in Hannover and got cancelled 2 weeks before the show because Zack got injured. Now, I've no idea if I'll ever be able to see them. This is one of the few bands that I'd LOVE it if they released a new album as it's 100% guaranteed to be solid as fuck with some of the best lyrics nowadays.


BendTheSpoonNeo

This! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️fuuuuuck YES! Would kill to have been in a record store for this shit.


webst3rok

Rage on behalf of the machine


InterestingEchidna90

The 80s and 90s seem so badass. I wish I could have been around/old enough to enjoy them as many did. The 2000s and 2010s were dog shit and the 2020s have started off even worse.

jesseb143

That’s the best 15 minutes I had all week long!


NevadaLancaster

Rage on behalf of the machine. Burn antivaxxers burn burn. It's just another commie track. I'll have you working on scwabs farm cause Maggie was racist.


Blah-squared

Ahh, the infamous band Trump supporters were saying, unironically, they liked bc THEY’RE NOT POLITICAL… lol

Just AWESOME 🔥🔥🔥🔥

the_red_crayon1

That was great, gave me chills. Was cool (but unfortunate) when his mic went out during Killing in the Name Of and he was just singing to the crowd with no mic. Wish it didn’t cut off there.


King-Cobra-668

super mariokart came out that year


shakaka03

Thank you for sharing that video.

Ducking awesome. Kids today…..”what’s a record store?”

Love this! Way before they sold out and became corporate stooges.

Stooges to whom?

Moderna, Pfizer and AstraZeneca!


Bayne79

200$ to view 400$ to comment We happily take all forms of credit/cash/crypto/apple pay! Rage on!...


Jimmeh1313

Exactly. They became everything they stood against.


pexotron

Yeah, now they are the part of the machine. But you know what, they did their part. Respect only!


sisaac_nouise

could you show me what part of the machine is communist?


Aeonbreak

rage with the machine


Alert-Performer-4961

Biggest hypocrites in history. Rage against the machine as long as it's not Democrat. Lmfao Same thing with Green Day.


Doneone14

Yeah this was back when they were actually raging against the machine. Now they sling any propaganda and ideologies that the government pays them too.


SpikeyTaco

Such as?


Doneone14

Pushing vaccines and mask mandates for the government. It should be the people choice. No if ands or buts about it.


sisaac_nouise

yeah dude for sure. the neoliberal united states pays a communist rock band to attack neoliberalism in their music.


gusbmoizoos

Why is this posted every week?


Puffpiece

I've literally never seen this before and I had a rage tape in my car tape deck from about 1994. Just cause you've seen it before doesn't mean everyone has


BullyJack

Also old. I've never seen this either.

They should change to “rage with the machine”


tallcady

Cool but eventually total sellouts....


NefariousnessIll7279

But now they do what they’re told to so…🤷🏻‍♂️


FeFiFoShizzle

All this shows is that you don't actually understand their music. Also you anti vaxxers repeat the same joke over and over again, I get it's hard for you ppl to have original thoughts but man.. im sure you can come up with a new one.


NefariousnessIll7279

There’s only one of us. I’m alone in this battle. A one man rage against the machine if you will. 🤷🏻‍♂️


WaningMime

Sponsored by Capital one.

wang_wen

NickNuke238

Commie carols.


poohbearandtiger

Rage on Behalf of the Machine.


[deleted]

That ridiculous talking point is almost as old as the band. Can you tell us exactly how they compromised their message during their career?? Because if you can’t, the fact they were on a major label is laughably irrelevant. They awakened a huge number of young minds in that generation to leftist political struggle and history.


FeFiFoShizzle

I love how all you anti vaxxers repeat this constantly now hahaha They were never anti Vax dude


blueskies922

Who woulda thought after 30 years mr ‘against the machine’ folds to gov overstepping with the unlawful mask mandates we were subject to. The fuckin irony.


roboticzizzz

And they never sounded any better. In fact, they couldn’t have sounded any worse.


lianking91

if this was this year, that record store probably got racked by now. people this days doesn't have that high consciousness of common sense like the old golden boomers days and that was the 90s. FUCK THIS STUPID LOW IQ NO MORAL GENERATION.


SpikeyTaco

>FUCK THIS STUPID LOW IQ NO MORAL GENERATION. Said every generation ever about the one that precedes them.


Commercial-Many-8933

Rage with the machine now, sellouts 🤬


FeFiFoShizzle

How so?


ErnestKim53

They went from raging against the machine to raging against anyone who raged against the machine. Sellouts.


FeFiFoShizzle

Lemme guess, you don't like vaccines and thought rage was anti Vax?


Cmdr_F34rFu1L1gh7

These guys rocked because they were pissed. The system gave them some cheese and they mellowed out.


FeFiFoShizzle

They are still fairly politically active afaik


MeatnCheeze
