Zack De La Rocha Quits Rage Against The Machine By Acheron, (DT) October 19, 2000 1:45 PM PT |

In shocking news (at least to me), Zack De La Rocha has decided to bow out of the Rage Against The Machine project, citing artistic & political differences in the band. According to him, the band has strayed down different paths musically and politically, and he thought it was time to go. Tom Morello, RATM's guitar whiz, says that the band has no hard feelings, and that at least for now, he, bassist, Tim Commerford, and drummer, Brad Wilk are staying together. Their music label, Epic, has put all RATM projects on hold, for obvious reasons. Aside from this, RATM is releasing the studio covers album in December that they have been working on. Not that RATM is all about Zack De La Rocha, but I can't see them being able to go on without him. The lead singer is always the focal point of a band, regardless of talent of the other players. Bringing in someone else to fill De La Rocha's shoes will likely fail. I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens... |
