Writing
Tom Morello created the heavier guitar riffs while teaching a student drop D tuning. He stopped the lesson and recorded the riff. The next day the band met in a studio and according to Morello the song "Killing in the Name" was created in a collaborative effort, combining his riff with "Timmy C.'s magmalike bass, Brad Wilk's funky, brutal drumming and Zack's conviction".
Like all Rage Against the Machine songs tuned to Drop D, it was recorded on a Mexican-made Fender Telecaster.

—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“... writing is not a performance but a generosity.”
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
