Machine Gun Kelly – Killing In The Name (Rage Against The Machine cover)

*Edit 8/12/2020: As today is the terribly sad third anniversary of the killing of Heather Heyer, who was bravely in Charlottesville, VA for the horrific Unite The Right Rally to protest the attendees and defend equal rights for all. Black Lives Mattered to her then and she defended that principal with her life. Today I place this video as my welcome video to my channel as a reminder to us all that Black Lives Matter.

Heather, you are deeply missed by, and also an inspiration to many.💔

With the killing of George Floyd, and then all too sadly Rayshard Brooks, the timing of this release shows us just how relevant Killing In The Name is today as it was 20 plus years ago.

Black Lives Matter. Before than, now and in the future. Let’s all do what we can to make sure that’s a reality, not just words.

Machine Gun Kelly flat out nails this cover song. Both originally written and performed by Rage Against The Machine in the late 1990’s

While my video is different than MGK’s, hopefully the same anti racism message comes across. I explain briefly below how mine accidentally came about. This is definitely a video in support of the current protests.

I intended on doing a lyrics video to this initially, but when I finished the backgrounds to the lyrics for me to layover (which is this video now), and at that point hearing the absolutely amazing track some 50+ times, I realized this is probably one song which may not need that at all. And it’s possibly better as is.

If anyone over with #MGK or Rage would like it down, that would be way understandable since it doesn’t have the lyrics. Lemme know and it’s done.
