other than his collaboration with Dj Shadow, does anyone
have any clues on what`s he been up to?

With the lack of strength of a pop-seller Audioslave, i need
to listen to new stuff from this guy.

i think he's recording a new album - it should be done
pretty soon...i think its mostly with the electronic
artists

and there was a song he did with roni size

i had the most annoying experience relating to this.
i was listening to the radio on the way to a gig and on one
station they played an audioslave song, a ratm song, and
after that they dj guy says "okay, since we played some
audioslave, and ratm, we're now going to play some of Zach's
new music.. ..so they play the dj shadow/de la rocha song,
but now, instead of letting everyone hear only the
music like what happened during audioslave and ratm, he damn
near talks through the entire thing.. saying stupid comments
like "yep...here's another artist speaking out against the
war" and "oooh.... here comes my favorite part of the
about......................................................
song...............right ..............now!" he completely
ruined the song...it was a atrocious

If you're such a Zack fan, you might be interested in his
band before Rage. the ban's called Inside Out, and they
released "No Spiritual Surrender" in 1990 (not completely
sure about that year, I only have the remastered CD version
of 1995). It's comparable to rage probably, but les
technical.

yea there's some info on this page here, it's alphabetical (after specific release
dates, that is)

p.s. the album is done and waiting to be promoted

inside out is a sort of punk/hardcore band zack pretty much
disowns..

Being desperate for new De La Rocha music is pretty sad.

I think it'd be interesting to hear some new stuff from him.

Center of the Storm with Roni Size was horrible... definitly
not his better work, total lack of energy from him

I'm waiting for some new stuff myself, I want to see the
same sort of heavy lyrical overload he did in the earlier
RATM albums

because he's popular, originated "rap metal" (let's pretend
biohazard never existed), and most importantly, it's not
electronic music ;)

seriously, this will be an amazing album.. it's going to be
hip-hop, not like Rage or anything.. at least wait till you
hear it before bashing it

i don't think "center of the storm" OR "march of death" are
horrible! different strokes for different folks!

as the link i provided above shows, lots of different
producers are involved, so if you don't like the 1 or 2 roni
size contributions you'll have at least 10 other songs to
dive into.

well in my book most "rap/metal" is better than most rap or
metal.

name some of your favorite rap/metal bands, because most
music fans will quickly tell you that they prefer their
metal and "rap" (hip-hop) seperate.. myself included!

well i mean more mainstream music at least..
i like ratm, i like some of the music for limp bizkit on
some songs, (not the rap part though.. i like the guitar)..
some of the rap/metal stuff on cypress hill's newer albums
is nice, i like the deftones, which has some rap.. i do
enjoy some more underground rap/hip hop and metal.. maybe i
should have rephrased that before..


 

offline titsworth from Washington, DC (United States) on 2003-05-26 14:47 [#00715569]
Points: 14550 Status: Lurker



i wouldn't say deftones are rap/metal at all... plus let's
not forget cypress hill never really used live guitars till
the last 2 albums in their 10 album rap career

i agree that some RATM and bizkit songs are actually pretty
good but i'm not a fan of either. i like some metal and i am
in love with hip-hop but i'm not too keen on rap/metal
(bands that would label themselves that, not questionable
choices like deftones and cypress even though i see your
point on some songs).

I did enjoy Rage Against the Machine... I own the album Evil
Empire, and it's cool... they were doing rap rock first,
before it was "cool" and then overexposed... I love the
songs Bulls on Parade, and People of the Sun... the two
singles, but they're still great songs!

evil empire is their worst imo
(here's a little secret; i own all of ratm albums, they
seemed good at the time hehehe)

my favorite would probably be renegades-their covers of some
evergreens, and i think they done it splendid!

Why is that a secret? I own them all as well, and just every
now and then I play them, definately the first one. It stood
the test of time for me, and it brings back memories.
