Rage Against the Machine swears live

Throwback to the time the BBC asked Rage Against The Machine not to swear during a live broadcast. BBC RADIO 5 live

A throwback clip shows Rage Against the Machine performing energetically on a live BBC broadcast, with vocalist Zack de la Rocha shouting into the microphone while the band plays intensely. The joke is that the BBC asked this famously confrontational band not to swear, making their furious performance and “Killing In The Name” especially ironic. The clip ends on the BBC Radio 5 Live logo, so it works as a reaction to ignoring polite restrictions or going aggressively off-script while live.
