Zach and the fellas are simply the shit. RATM have been a force in and around the political scene for years. Yes, they rock but they also give you that cold rock stuff. They have inspired youth to use their rage in proactive ways instead of counterproductive disarray. Their presence at the RNC most definitely put the protest on chill because what I was hearing is that the crowd was growing restless by the second and were poised to explode for the sake of history and whatever else.

There were a little over 100 arrests and tear gas was used.

They tried to perform Tuesday but Rage supposedly showed up too close to the concert’s curfew.

Carl Rove probably pulled the plug…

This is the reason why I feel the Republicans have no shot in November. They don’t care about youth and it will prove fatal when it all goes down. How could they be so stupid?

I thought they saw their sons…

Shout out to Modi for the inspiration. It’s real in the field.

Here’s an eyewitness video of the unnecessary tear gas being used…

The acapella performance…

When I used to bounce in one of the craziest bars I’ve personally ever been in, I used to nod my head when Rage began to blast in my ear.

Here’s the tracks they performed acapella:

Bulls On Parade…

Killing In the Name…

Here’s three more:

Testify…

Freedom…

Renegades of Funk…

Finally one they hook up with Chuck D to collab on Black Steel in the Hour ofChaos…

They praised the music it’s time to play the lyrics.
