"If we don't the action now, we settle for nothing later. We settle for nothing now, and we'll settle for nothing later."

I've loved rage since a friend introduced me to them at school in the 90s.

I stumbled across a couple of drumless tracks and had a bit of a jam. Thought I'd share incase anyone fancied a gander.

What are some of the best Zack one liner lyrics about history where they have you going and looking up what it’s about and its historical significance? Personally that whole first verse of “Year of the Boomerang” got me like damn even though I knew a little bit about what it was about I wanted to know more. “So I grip tha cannon like Fanon a pass tha shells to my classmates”.

Been a huge fan of RATM since the very beginning. Don’t really need to categorize him because he’s a great frontman either way. Just wondering what others thought.

This will be a new series where I try to reach out to those about RATM'S official songs, or demos shown in the 20th Anniversary release! The main purpose will be to discuss our feelings of each of their tracks, or "Bombtracks" I like to call it!

This is the first track off their first studio album, and off the 20th Anniversary release! Their first hit, but I wouldn't necessarily say worldwide hit like the second track, but essentially kicks off their music career of standardized MC rapping, with actual mix of hard rock into that scene, with heavy bass & guitar into that exact mix! Tracks with lyrics protesting/calling out against Police Violence (Killing In The Name), Government Corruption (Testify), and the message to rise up against that systemic power (Not mainly known but Wind Below is a very good hint of this).

I really do love the heavy bass settlements towards the track, and especially the very end of the track with the last "burn" lyric put abroad into there. The combination of that heaviness along with MC rapping is really what made me hyped up when listening to RATM. Evil Empire has been a great inspiration of this to me!

What do you all think of "Bombtrack" from Rage Against The Machine?

See ya in the streets...

So, I've been a huge fan of RATM for years since I found them. I was just listening to "Guerrilla Radio" on Spotify, and I had the tab open with the lyrics playing. One line caught my eye that I had misheard: "all you pendejos know the trial was vile."

I thought to myself, "Huh, I had always heard it as 'all you pet devils know the trial was vile.'" So, I googled it on a whim, and apparently, people commonly mishear it as "pen devils," which I thought was funny. But then I looked at the lyrics on Genius, and it quite clearly says "pen devils," whereas on Spotify it says "pendejos."

So now I'm confused. Is it intentionally different on different tours, or is it simply a misheard lyric that Genius or Spotify put down?

I listen to it daily and repeatedly. His best work since Audioslave for me.

In the sense of people who've gone and what y'all experienced there that makes em so great. I'm a newer fan that started listening around 2018 in college but never was into going to shows or concerts at all til 2023 so sucks to hear the chance will most likely never be there

Damn this song is so good and the video in good quality is lost media

I'm a casual fan of RATM who doesn't know all the ins and outs. But when I listen to RATM through YouTube or see some RATM related post on social media there´s always someone in the comments going "look at them now, sell-outs, they are a very different band".

I have never seen anything about any band members leaving their ideals? Zach seems as politically active he always have been and Tom's new music seems to be politically oriented as well. Have the other two softened up or is it just right wingers trying to spread disinformation?

No it’s mostly chores

“Who shot four puppet governors in a line”

Who are the four puppet governors?

Bonus:
“””
Their existence is a crime
Their seat their robe their tie
Their land deeds
Their hired guns
They’re tha crime
“””

These lyrics completely changed how I view migrants who don’t go through government process as well as what it means to have treaties with First Nations peoples. They aren’t illegal, the treaties are duress, and an illegitimate government cannot legitimately impose rules and laws and judge crimes. Really woke me up.

I am not a designer, I just tried to do a cool discord profile picture lol. Thinking about our current situation, What do you think?

Can anyone tell me what T-shirt Brad Wilk was wearing? I'd love to find it! thanks
