How to play Bombtrack by Rage Against the Machine (Part 1 of 2).
"Bombtrack" is the song by Rage Against the Machine that opens their self-titled debut album. Like most of Rage Against the Machine's songs, the song's lyrics discuss social inequality, proclaiming that "landlords and power whores" were going to "burn". The intro riff was composed by Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello when he was playing with the band Lock Up, and, upon hearing it, they told him it was too "heavy".
A music video was released, depicting support for the Sendero Luminoso Maoist revolutionary group and its leader Abimael Guzman. Interestingly the video clip did not appear on the group's first home video, citing Rage's first altered political opinion. In 2003, the video finally appeared as bonus material on their Live at the Grand Olympic Auditorium DVD.
The single artwork features Cuban photographer Alberto Korda's famous image of Che Guevara doctored in a way reminiscent of Andy Warhol's prints of Marilyn Monroe.
