Wilk and Tm C are the main reason why i listen to Rage.

Wilk is extremely basic. Which is why I feel I can emulate him. Not a knock, it works fine. He provides exactly what the songs need.

I wonder if Zack has any misgivings about his gun lyrics as gun violence has become more of a hot button issue?

"So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun..."

"Pistol grip pump on my lap at all times / They can be fucking with other niggas shit, but they can't be fucking with mine"

etc

My Top 16

Bombtrack
Killing In The Name
Take The Power Back
Bullet In The Head
Know Your Enemy
Wake Up

People Of The Sun
Bulls On Parade
Vietnow
Revolver
Down Rodeo
Year Of Tha Boomerang

Testify
Guerilla Radio
Calm Like A Bomb
Maria

Ashes in the Fall needs to be in any RATM mix.

Are you ever tempted to save some key strokes and drop the quotation marks, KD?

Not even a little. That's how you punctuate song titles!

Besides his recording with Black Sabbath. Also i saw him live with Smashing Pumpkins and it was great. A wide range of styles.

I don’t have any big opinions on the topic, it just popped into my mind today while raging against the various machines

I'd probably dump "Revolver" and add "No Shelter," and maybe another track from Battle of Los Angeles.

I was only able to listen to the first couple of tracks on Evil Empire last week. Based on that small sample size I think it's their best sounding record.
