I'm just surprised to hear that BAD BRAINS are still out thier.Seeing as how they are partially responsible for what is now called Nu Metal.It seem's they'd be a bit more prominent.Then againe LIVING COLOUR is still out thier and we don't hear anything about them either ... So go figure.

Zack would have been a fantastic frontman for Bad Brains, and they would have been an awe-inspiring band for him.....Thats actually quite a shame, that move would have kept them both relevant. I'm actually very interested in what De la Rocha has to say about these last 5-6 years...
Would have been hard to top RATM though....Even on their tippy-toes Audioslave can't touch Soundgarden, let alone RATM.

who cares....he is a talented guy with an unwanted and unneeded chip on his shoulder. if you love making music and care about it, than you'll do something about it. however, if you think that you are a holier than thou talent who cant work with anyone than just f u c k off and stay gone. music doesnt need you.

My God I'm not against anybody who's got the balls to get up on stage and go for it.But I do not get his apeal at all.I don't even think he's a good producer because everything he does sound's almost exactly the same.Now He's sampleing SLAYER & that let's go nonsence from TRICK DADDY that LIL JON produced.I was almost physically ill when I heard it . What the HELL is happening to good Music.The whole American Entertainment Industry is in serious need of an ENEMA ! That's just my humble opinion.

Yes...go away Zack...no one wants to be bothered with the facts regarding the suffering that others endure on a daily basis in 3rd world nations...no one wants to hear about revolutionaries...no one wants actual thought in their music...no one wants music to rouse people from their indifference regarding the world around us...we all want drivel...so please go away.

JT, I agree with you...I have 2 RATM albums, they were f***ing awesome, and I know they had the contradiction about how they made money from the system they're against, But who hasn't had contradictions in the game...Plus at least they donated their profits to those in need of it...U2, (they're another great example) Make f***loads of money, but look at where most of the money goes...POVERTY, and what about their benefit concerts...When they made that contract with iPOD, iPOD gave them a f***load of money, and where did it all go...CHARITY!!!

Sure wish he'd do something...he has to have so much to say. The one post-RATM track that did come out (March of Death) was great. From what I have read about his recent activities it seems as though he will never rejoin the commercial music industry again...but who knows. There was always that argument against RATM..."they are hypocrites because they make money from the system they claim to hate so much." Maybe Zack took it to heart...and will never release anything else. I never thought the argument was that great to begin with, being that RATM used their fame to bring attention to important social issues and donated tons of money to help those in poverty or suffering from oppression. We need more people like Zack making music...driving social change...the music industry has so few voices for change these days...here's to Zack making a come back.
