I remember reading interview with some old rock & roll musician and he said something like “people keep asking me why I’m not as rebellious anymore and I’m like ‘dude, I’m 50 and I have kids now. It’s your generation’s turn to rebel’”. So yeah, Zach is 55 now…
I mean, he did do that one song with RTJ not that long ago and stuff, I more meant I wish he’d done some solo rap after Rage. Obviously dude had a lot of valuable shit he was getting done and I get why he didn’t, I just like his rap a lot and think it would have been really nice to have more of him doing straight hip hop. Oh well.
Zach did his last album when he was about 30. Sure maybe it’s too late now, but I really want to know what was actually going on with him in the 00s. Some people even suspect three letter agency involvement, and TBH that sounds about as likely as any other explanation.
I think being in a band like RATM had to be really strange. You’re screaming as loud as you can about rotten system while at the same time getting rich thanks to this system. You know that fame helps you spread your message but at the same time it’s contrary to everything you’re preaching. I wouldn’t be surprised he simply gave up and left.

Didn’t he have that one project, one night as a lion or something?
