To answer your questions- Yes it's called a whammy bar. The bassist is Tim Commerford and the drummer is Brad Wilk. They were also in Audioslave, same dudes expect Zack. When Tim is rubbing his hands on the bass strings it's making that swooshy sound while Tom plays the actual riff on guitar. It's the same thing Tom does to get the record scratching sound. It was never a newly invented thing, every guitarist knows the strings make a sound like that if you rub your hand on them, but they were the first to be like hey we can use that on purpose for awesome sounds, especially when we put sound effects on it. Tom is a wizard. Fistful of Steel can refer to a gun but more than likely he means the microphone. The metal part you sing into in the mic is made of steel. (Not all mics, but that mic he's using right there, which is the most popular mic for live vocals). So it's a metaphor I think. It sounds like a gun but actually he's got a mic and he's gonna let you have it. Awesome reaction to Rage as always man!

@keepsake327

This ^ The guitar strings are wound together so they have groves that are roughly perpendicular to the length of the string. When you run a guitar pick or your hand over those groves, it makes that gritty scratching sound. In quieter acoustic guitar songs you can hear the guitarist run his/her fingers up and down on the strings at chord changes. It makes that scratchy squeal.

Zack is very intense on stage, but when I’ve seen him in interviews he’s very soft spoke, and thoughtful. He means every word he sings, and he’s got the intelligence and knowledge to back it up!!!!!! Their music is NOT a front or for show. I think in this context “ mad boy grips the microphone with a fistful of steel” means his microphone is his “weapon “ to fight with his words? IDK, that’s the way I always read it. Have you done “Down Rodeo” yet? One sic bar after another

This is lost on most people, and very important.

I'm convinced De La Rocha knows. I think for Zach a lot of this is absolutely deadly serious. This is praxis. It isnt just a game. He isnt there for a fun time. He is moving the masses. That's real passion and it's meaningful and it's different from someone who is just enjoying their work. I have no doubt Zach loves what he does. But that love is serious af. Killer Mike and De La Rocha work together from time to time and Killer Mike has a line from Ju$t where he mentions his anxieties about getting assassinated. That's not some, scared of my fellow man, or of a psycho, or something like that. But the anxiety that comes with standing up to a government. The same government that has, historically, repeatedly, assassinated people EXACTLY like De La Rocha or Killer Mike. That deadly seriousness isnt a turn of phrase unfortunately. He probably thinks of this as life and death.

@@harrisonshields7084 This footage is from the Pinkpop Festival, which I think is in The Netherlands. I don't know if this is before or after they were on the '93 Lollapalooza tour, but it's around the same time. They hadn't broke in the U.S. yet when they opened the Lollapalooza tour, even though their bold "PMRC" stage protest got them some press. Their opening slot on that tour was only 15 minutes also, which must have sucked for them because they weren't even given a chance to truly shine. But they were a big group in Europe in '93. Rage broke in Europe way before they did in the States, largely because their first single was "Killing in the Name" with 17 "f" words in it, and U.S. radio wouldn't play it. I don't think MTV would even play the video, or they didn't hype it at least, only playing it late at night. But in the U.K. and western Europe they did play it, and although the song means something different for Europeans than it does to us Americans, the spirit and sentiment are very much universal. No one channels indignant anger and fierce resolve like Rage. Love love love them!! And we need them now more than ever!!

One of my favorite RATM songs. Next to the Springsteen cover they did, “Ghost Of Tom Joad”, which is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

I saw one of their last UK gigs before they quit back at the end of the 90s, i was 18, and over 20 years later it still rates as one of the best live shows ive ever seen. the energy was unreal, even if i did get kicked in the head in the pit. the ratm album came out when i was at school, and got passed around like contraband, they are one of the few bands who crank it up to 11 live, and add that something special which you cant put on a record.

Your enthusiasm is infectious bro. Takes me right back to when I first found them. Absolutely f*cking mind blowing.

If I may suggest that you watch every song from this concert. I think it was at Pink Pop 1993 or 1994. They are 100% out of control and powerful. Every song.

Tom has got a kill switch on his guitar that shuts off the sound when he flicks that switch. He’s using a slider to create the scratching sound. He’s a genius man.

Bass is definitely tricky, you can't always tell which part is bass because the notes are so low, but you can always tell the difference when it's gone

The way you get hype off the music is making my day!

Very cool song. Crazy sounds from the guitar and a pretty gnarly solo towards the end 🤙 Keep them coming TV

So I'll keep listening you your Rage reactions. Made me sad to hear you hated Would? by Alice in Chains though. That's such a deep, emotional song about one of their friends who died from a drug overdose and the pain of loss and not intervening to save them. It's truly one of the best songs of that era, and Alice in Chains was so great. Layne Staley's voice was a powerhouse too. Hopefully you give them another shot.

lol i love how honest your reviews are.

If you're looking for some songs to help you appreciate bass guitar you could try "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen, "Psycho Killer" by Talking Heads, "Feel Good, Inc" by Gorillaz, "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac, "Money" by Pink Floyd, or "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson. Those songs are all bass guitar heavy types of sounds, and the music video for some of them show the bass playing up close to let you know which instrument it is (4 strings rather than 6). Basically, it hits the lower notes that the standard guitar doesn't. I could probably list a million more songs since I love the instrument, but those are all good starting points. Actually, since I went down this road... watch the music video version of "Feel Good, Inc." One of my favorites, and even though it is animated, it shows what you're hearing in at leaast the most basic way. Drum and bass guitar until the chorus hits. No guitar until about 1:25 in. Also, the song just slaps.

Rage are legends in their own right but dude, Alice In Chains is too. Totally different vibes but still greats!

Dude your channel is awesome! I saw RATM when I was 21/22 it was was life changing. They were that f*cking powerful. Being silent is complicit. Seeing your reaction to them is truly beautiful to see!

This clip was taken from their performance at the Pinkpop Festival in the Netherlands. It is held every year. I one of the lucky ones to witness their set live that day. The energy on that field was crazy. That band was a gamechanger.

YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!

Man, first time I saw the video for ATDI- One Armed Scissor was the second time that my life was changed by a music video. First time was RATM- Killing in the Name.

Rage against the Machine -Zach Dela Rocha Audioslave - Chris Cornel Prophets of Rage - B-Real , Chuck D Are all the same band with different Vocalist. Tom Morello guitar, Brad Wilks Drums, Tim Commerford Bass. Tom Morello also has The Nightwatchman..acousitc Street Sweeper Social Club -Boots Riley All their/his music is socially conscience

Just came from killin in the name and i was right. Your reaction to seeing these men play irl is hilarious and awesome.

For sure give Alice In Chains another go, they are top S tier material and I'll not hear a bad word said about them

All their stuff is fire. No soft music for the girls

Some girls don’t like that soft shit.

Love watchin your reaction to Rage.....Your reactions are the exact way i feel every single time i hear em. And ive been listening to RATM since the early 90's. Would love to see ya react to Calm Like a Bomb. Keep it up Bro!!!

As a guitarist that’s been in and out of the local music scene, a lot of my colleagues love what Morello does. It’s only through experimentation and creativity, that you can do something so unique like that. No one else was trying to seriously mimic record scratching on the guitar.

I would recommend "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath to be honest. The best version of it is the live in Paris 1970. The type of subject matter they handle (war obviously) is also definetly anti-establishment, but I think due to the words they use to describe such things, they were definetly labelled to be satanist etc by groups or political sides that would rather not have people aggressively being anti-war. Hence the whole stereotypical labelling of whole entire genres that ofc still persists today in some ways.

Love that you are so into Rage. The self title album was my first CD when I was like 12. Still one of my very top bands and easily favorite heavy band. Please react to any and all songs...Township Rebellion, Freedom, People of the Sun. First two or three albums, every single song an absolute banger.

Your joy is infectious!

Yesss, and were in The Netherlands, Pink Pop! Not kidding the crowd with the jumping created a very very tiny earth quake😁 Rage Rocks!

When I saw them in Leeds, UK about 15y ago I jumped while the crowd all moved together and floated about 10m lol. Crazy stuff! Probably the best gig I've ever been too.

I got to see them open for Wu Tang when I was 18. Weirdest coolest show I’ve ever been to. It was insane.

their fuck-around music is like, when they do covers of songs they like. their album Renegades has covers of Afrika Bambaataa and Cypress Hill and Eric B and Rakim

I fkn love these RATM reaction videos by you! I'm re-living the 90's!!❤❤

Tom Morello's got that "I'm gonna body you" stance.

Great reaction! They are 🔥

I grew up listening to rock radio, lots of grunge and post-grunge. So much of it was dark and violent, and i always felt like Rage was, too. So its so cool coming back to it as an adult and realizing the really good bands, like Rage, dealt with dark shit in a really positive, productive way, calling it out instead of revelling in it. Its such a joy to see your enthusiasm, too!

It's crazy how good their tracks are. Just as powerful thirty years on! RAtM for life!
