The story behind
Rage Against the Machine released Bullet in the Head as their second single from their first album, also called Rage Against the Machine, in 1992. The song was recorded on a demo with the same title and remained exactly as it was in the album. The lyrics talk about how the government uses the media to control people, comparing houses to Alcatraz.
The video was filmed in a warehouse in New York, but it is not a studio clip. It was a live performance for the BBC's The Late Show program. The band arrived by bus, played once in front of cameras, and then went to a club that same night. The clip was released on a DVD in 1997.
