Gonna give another interesting take,
RATM’s eponymous album considered to have one of the best Mix and Master ever, so we sound engineers use that exact track to test and calibrate different sound systems. I always play Killing in the Name first to hear what’s different in a sound system. I’m sure me only contributed around 5k of that stat over the years.
I wonder why this song has so many plays?
To answer your question, I’d say no: you do not wonder why this song has so many plays.
Glad I could help answer that question.
Saw them in concert in ‘94. Zach tried to start a riot against the cops. I was young, scared, thought he was wrong.
He was right
Because RATM is one of the greatest albums of all time and screaming “Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me” is massively badass.
And many people don’t actually understand their political stance. People actually got mad they “became political”.
How many angry teens retreat to their room and hit it up on the stereo after their mum has told them to bring her their dirty laundry?
