Poor Zach de la Rocha...... Zach de la Who you ask , Moye?? Zach was the lead vocalist for Rage Against the Machine - one of the more influential bands of the 90's. Incorporating their Rock/Funk style, mixed with de la Rocha's educational/misinformed raps, Rage had a real nice run 10 years ago. Then came what happens to most bands....... Some idiot told de la Rocha that he was the star, and he quit and decided to go solo. Haven't heard any of his solo efforts? You're not the only one.
Well, the rest of the band found (enter sarcasm) a little guy named Chris Cornell from alittle band called Soundgarden. They went and made Audioslave, arguably this decade's supergroup. It was obvious after listening to Audioslave that they kept Guitarist Tom Morello's raw style, but the incendiary lyrics of de la Rocha were gone. Two multi-platinum albums later, they're still around.
Last week, someone from the Salvation Army or maybe First Harvest asked Rage to stage reunion concert for some fundraiser - most likely to help de la Rocha buy a Mr. Microphone. De la Rocha , being the flamethrowing idiot that he is, felt it was a good time to make a statement - like executing the President. Nice! :(
It's been a quiet few years for Zach, but I'm sure that the rest of his old bandmates are glad that this was a One Night Stand. Luckily, Zach will be stuffed back into the I Love the 90's closet along with The Spice Girls and Party of Five. Love ya, Zach - be a stranger!!!
