Does anyone know what Zach did after he broke up with Rage Against the Machine? I was under the impression that he was going to do some solo work, but I never heard anything about that. Anyone here know anything? Thanks

Very wrong, but it's ok. We can't all realize what good music is

Ummm...

I loved Rage Against the Machine. I still listen to their albums at least once every couple of weeks.

The fact remains, however, that without the rest of the band he's just an angry psuedo-rapper.

Oh my god. I guess if you don't think lyrics and message are important. Yeah the band was money, in fact they're carrying the group they formed with the guy from Soundgarden. However, Zach was a great lyricist and it's a shame that you don't realize this

just because he hasn't released anything doesn't mean he couldn't do it on his own...if he tries and fails then you can say he can't do it solo

Could you be any more mellow-dramatic about this?

Cause we all know that Audioslave was sooo much better than RATM right? :roll::p

Not that Audioslave was bad, it just didn't hold a candle to either RATM or Soundgarden.

I heard he was a spokesman for Nike, putting a good face on their shoe factories in Mexico.

I don't know, but I bet he could be more melodramatic.

Could you make any less points?

Geez you guys like to jump to conclusions. :p

No one said that Audioslave was better than RATM.

I can only speak for myself and say that I don't think Zach will never have a successful career outside of RATM the way the rest of the band did.

And I think you're right there. Don't get me wrong. I liked RATM. Very cool music. I hate de la Rocha and his reconquista politics.

He really hasn't released much music evidently. A song here and there, so it's kinda hard to compare how good they are.

I heard rumors he was trying to do some kind of rap with the rza but that never panned out.
