When I was about 14 I was walking through the music section at walmart. I actually was carrying a Korn album to the media player in the store and when I first put on the head-phone’s guerilla radio was playing. Immediately, I just started head banging I fell in love with De La Rocha power and strong vocals and Morello’s shredding on the guitar. I ended up leaving the store with the Battle of Los Angeles album. The next 2 weeks I constantly blasted Guerrilla Radio and since I was so young I really didnt even realize how meaningful the lyrics were. As I got older I started to understand just what message De La Rocha was trying to give us through his lyrics. Personally I think RATM is in a genre of its own. God, I still get goosebumps every time I hear “Killing in the name”. RATM is from an ELITE group of humans which was established B4 the "pussification" of america. The band not only sounded instrumentally perfect but holyshit the meaning behind the music De La Rocha is a genus and should be idolized by future and up coming bands/artists. Man i wish so fucking bad those guys would tour the US again. My little brother is currently in highschool and him and all his little friends wear RATM shirts and love the music. These days modern bands which fucking suck, are degrading what music is suppose to be about. All you hear is about drugs, sex, and how rich they are it makes me sick. RATM these kids need to witness you guys and even 3 GENERATIONS later they still fucking love you.
