Zack de la Rocha

I used to skateboard with him.

It was Zach De La Rocha.

He's a singer of Rage.

And, you know, the Offspring guys were in Huntington.

His stupid-ass guitar.

And fucking Zack Della Rocha.

Della Rocha.

They fucking suck.

So it's not a surprise that Rage fans weren't into them.

I think there's just a difference in how the music sounds and how Zack De La Rocha, his lyrics, they're anthemic.

They're protest chants, right? In comparison to Cedric Bixler Zavala, like who is just it's all kind of stream of consciousness style.

But no, at the drive in, they're like the descendants of Fugazi, you know, and Rites of Spring.

It sucks.

I feel like I'm talking to legit, like, formable artists, but, like, it sucks that Zack Della Rocha was... not as user-friendly as you wanted him to be, that they didn't make more albums, that they didn't tour more, and that he didn't do more, but then I wouldn't want it any other way.

He was perfect.

He was perfect.

In 1986, Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac married keyboardist Eduardo Quintena, the singer-songwriter wed the Portuguese musician and composer, who would co-write several tracks with her, including Fleetwood Mac's 1987 hit Little Lies.

In 2000, Zack de la Rocha officially announced his departure from Rage Against the Machine, stating that the band's decision-making process had completely broken down, i.e. he didn't get his way enough.

The frontman left the rest of the members to later join forces with Chris Cornell in order to form the group Audioslave.

Rage would then reunite with Zack for some festival tours in the late 2000s and early 2020s.

Also on that same exact day, singer and actress Julie London passed away at the age of 74.

She was a torch singer renowned for her rendition of Cry Me a River and then later became known as an actress for playing the role of Nurse Dixie McCall on the show Emergency.

Can I play drums? I could, I could make my way through it.

Can you be Zach de la Rocha?

I can do that.

[laughs]

So I am not going to something else tonight-

Yeah

... that Zachary will be attending.

Well, I got-

We did.

The, the opposition, that's, if you wanna call it the anti-autonomy opposition, I mean, you might as well have Zack de la Rocha be the front man, because they're raging against the machine.

[laughs]

It's, you know, the, we got the great thing, you know, bull- bulls on parade, well, they've got hi- anti-autonomy on parade.

So they did tour with Rage.

Zack DeLaRocha was a big fan.

They toured with Foo Fighters, and they toured with the Get Up Kids, who are like pop punk kind of bands.

Who's the singer in the Get Up Kids? Should I know? He has another band.
