Why "rage against the machine"


1. Konzert
2. Jazz



The "machine" attacks the media propaganda system of the state. Not only the "yes voters" are attacked with the lyrics, it concerns also the unrechtmäßige Autoritätsausübung.



The "rage" actually stands for their politic opinion. You'll have to sort it as "left-politics"; Mostly "left politics" concerns the lower class of society (Untere Bevölkerungsschicht), which means the representation of the truth of live. Also regarding (bezüglich) the politic system in the US "the machine" is to take one's anger out on it!



The "against" shows that they're really against the U.S. politics, the wars and the massacres. Most of their songs had been produced in 2000/01 during the presidential election and the tragic terrorism attack of Al Kaida (WTC)





They support public demonstrations or token strikes (Warnstreiks), they also play benefits concerts or give their personal statements about latest questions about everything.



Concert Controversy



Quarrels at or about RATM in the USA is a normal thing. When Tim burnt an America flag at a Woodstock-Festival many patriots where horrified. They saw only the destroying but not the irony meaning against the American patriotism. In 1997Ratm had to absolve a concert in "The George Washington" but the responsible (zuständig) sheriff tried to cancel it. He said that the music is radical, militant, and against the publicity. But he had no chance, the concert took place and they started the concert with the cover "Fuck tha police" Zack de la Rocha spoke to the audience, "There's no crueler thing as a pig with political effort (bestrebung). We take his comment as an insult (beleidigung). Everybody knows that the US-Police got outta control. There were many conservative cities where the situation was like that!" Zack often uses the breaks in his concerts to talk about problems. Here the example to "Bullet in the head":



We'd like to pay your attention! I'm gonna tell you that the US Government is starting a 2nd Vietnam in south Mexico. I'd like to make clear cause we think the media can't. They have no objective meaning. They try to hide the brutal reality. They try to hide the death of millions of people. These people should get weapons to fight against the dictatorship. You'll see, at the moment many US soldiers are shipped to battlefields to make war against defenceless people. Everything is supported by the US-Government. We think that these people should know that. We have to understand that and we should stop this. "So are you standin' in line? You believin' the lies? You bowin' down to this flag? You gotta bullet in your head??"
