Rage Against The Machine Goes A Cappella

After Rage Against the Machine‘s show got shut down in Minneapolis thanks to the Republican National Convention, the band led a peaceful rally with thousands of their fans, doing a cappella renditions of Bulls On Parade and Killing In the Name Of. And someone got the whole thing on video, of course.

    That rally could have used some clubbed baby seals to spice it up.

    I can put aside their socialist politics though, because to be honest….Rage kicks ass.

    YEAHHHH!!!
    No!

    Don’t agree with their political stance, but can’t help but wanna get up and protest something when Rage does.

    Oh my, some cops probably wanted to bust skulls.

    But yeah, I have to give props for the Democratic party for organizing anarchists and others like that, to keep the focus on them.

    But yeah, those type of tactics are just cheesy.

    because yeah, the dnc ALSO had a “buffer zone” of sorts too…. nothing different between the two.

    Yeah, McCain started the war, NOPE… most of congress and senate did, and there was a decent amount of dems in there too I am sure.

    I like what they did, and I would of been there to help. and yes to “yeah”. There were dems and republicans that voted for and funded the war. That is why they are the same Republicrats. The same as they will always be, till people wake up.

    I don’t know who that guy was with the red shirt and the gay puffy hair but i assume someone in the band. Anyway he doesn’t know what hes talking about. “unjust wars”. What the crap does he know about it? How he goes by this info that its unjust is stupid Democrat media and shows like South park. Hey im sure if the media was mainly for the republicans then lots of people would hate democrats. Get your own brains people!

    I just wish more than three of the brothas and sistas were clapping.

    @ Andy & Nick—Word. Definitely agree.

    It’s always easier for folks to talk shit online instead of going out and protesting or even doing something of any social relevance in their community.

    Lovely…just lovely.

    pimp dude… so it’s impossible to have your own brain but think the war is bullshit?

    something tells me Zack de la Rocha knows a whole lot more about the war and the reasons we are fighting it than you do. I bet his brain is a lot bigger than yours.

    I think this video is awesome. sure, they are protesting, but they are having a shitload of fun doing it. I can’t think of a better way to protest.

    @ rojas- Thats the truth right there. I only say this online man.

    Matt everyone’s brain is the same size. If Zack knew why we were fighting the war he wouldn’t be complaining but on the other hand everyone has a right to their own opinion on the war but it just seems most ppl who talk crap about the war are just idiots who her trash about it on shows like South park but hopefully this band isn’t just being fed info. Doesn’t mater to me.
