RATM seemed to me always commercial I'm pretty sure Zach got it right. When you have RATM stickers, Che Guevara shirts, Commie hats etc etc talk about the "revolution" being co-opted. I'm pretty sure the other guys in Rage did sell-out. What kind of a band signs on with Chris Cornell (the grunge Lenny Kravitz) and says with a straight face they are still against the man. I would much rather see what Zach's done in the past years solo. I know he worked with DJ Shadow a whiles ago plus some other peeps.

I always heard that he left because he couldn't decide if he wanted to be a rock star, or a revolutionary. Calling Chris Cornell the grunge Lenny Kravitz is a low blow; but i must say that Audioslave was worthless. Has anyone heard the Dinosaur Jr. reunion album? It's been getting raves most places, but panned on a handful of sites.
