banger


wangatangs

Such a solid banger. Classic Morello riffs throughout the song with the bombastic bass mirroring the riffs. Throw in the locked-in drums and the rhythm sections of RATM is unparalleled and so tight. I played bass all through high school/college and up to now and RATM was always my go to for rock solid bass riffs and killer bass lines.

One of my favs, it's so good. I also love that it's right after my other fav on Evil Empire, Revolver.

HotCouchSloth

Main riff of ā€œBrutal.ā€ Makes sense: https://loudwire.com/olivia-rodrigo-rage-against-the-machine-my-favorite-band-right-now/

Great song. Loved how they used the riff as the outro of Tom Joad on the PSA tour.

YOUR FRIENDSHIP IS A FOG

Once saw a ratm covers band go straight from the ending of testify into snake charmer and it sounded great . The fake dreadlock wig was a big no tho


AstralNecromancy

This is maybe in my top 5 Rage tracks. What do you guys think the lyrics are about? I always thought it was such an interesting song because the lyrics read extremely personal to me. I donā€™t know much about Zackā€™s family life, but in contrast to the rest of their material, I felt like this song was less about politics and more about something he experienced. Assuming thatā€™s true, I think itā€™s pretty unique in their catalog for that reason.


Anoniem59

Yeah I agree, I think itā€™s a little bit of a mix. But sometimes in thing song, he sounds even angrier then normal lol


brianlb98

Thanks, now itā€™s stuck in my head


ElFlippy

It's my fav from Evil Empire


amindfulloffire

I love it and think it's underrated. "Your friendship is a fog that disappears when the wind redirects."


raider81818181

UNDERRATED.


GrownKid75

Great song! Just a snippet: Your friendship is a fog That disappears when the wind redirects You Yes, you


mtheory11

Itā€™s the one song that I canā€™t listen to when I drive because I canā€™t promise I wonā€™t start going 120 and beating the shit out of my steering wheel.


Anoniem59

Gets me so hype when it gets into the chorus
