This was on Youtube a while back but it was deleted or something I guess, in one of those copyright sweeps. Anyway, this was from their first show ever, at Northridge, CA.

I think Zack kinda doing a British accent is hilarious.

I don't get all the hate, this is a great cover specifically because they didn't just try to copy it exactly. They built a new song out of it, and frankly it rocked balls considering how early this is.

most of your points are right but you're a faggot and rage against the machine has a bunch of entertaining covers, you stupid retard. die in a fire, both of you.

haha sounds like a good idea =D would certainly have a better output than this talk. but i'm hanging on cause i'm right... why not just admit it? these few recordings prove undoubtedly that he's an over-average singer. that may not fit into your JUST-frontman-rapper-lyricist-image... so don't face it if you don't want to.. you don't need to..

i knew you didn't know. was obvious. if you take odaal as example of how much you know of his singing work.... i dont even consider that real singing, its like some crossover between rapping, singing and screaming. It's less singing than in inside out. He def SINGS in beautiful world and two videos called "zack de la rocha acoustic" and "zack de la rocha dylan tribute", and with "los cojolites".

so you're saying, you've heard ALL his singing work and came to the conclusion that he shouldn't try? i think you can't have heard all of it and come to this conclusion if you have a LITTLE taste.

haha, first listen to him singing, get some education about his work in that area, before you judge so generally....

I was there. It was their first show. No one knew who they were. Bands played there every week and usually no one even stopped to watch. You can see everyone walking right by. I remember thinking the Clash cover was a good effort. 20 years later, I like the parts where they make it their own best. There was so much bad raprock out there at the time but the riffing was undeniable. Zach's seriousness seemed so out of place in front of a mostly uncaring audience, huh? Sure changed quick....

The Clash . . . Was "The only band that mattered". . . Until RATM.

from the solo onwards (3:00 --->) is just the most powerful emotion that ever spanned out to me in music. i love when zach whispers and then there's just the huge drop when he starts going crazy and morello starts railing away on his guitar while timmy keeps the song in line with the funky bass and brad wilk just fucks shit up on the drums. i wish ratm was immortal.

@RussianBear05 Joe Strummer was a fan of rap music actually. He would probably appreciate this cover.

It's kind of heartening that RATM started out as a bad cover band.... Just goes to show, some people grow into themselves.

@RussianBear05 yeah, because the clash wrote the their material for people who have closed minds and expect things to always be the same. get fucked.
