This is more or less where I’m at at this point…. Idk about the humiliation fetish, but I do think people who claim to have just found out what Rage is all about is definitely contrived or part of some bit. 

To what end, I’m sure I don’t know, but it strains credulity all the same.

I will tell you this, I just found out that MF Doom and Zeb Love X are the same person.  They were in my wheelhouse but never really dove into them and then I read a tweet.

Mindblown. 

So there might be people that dabbled w RATM but never dove into them.

Sure, I have no doubt people like that exist, but still in all... so many people pretending to be pundits are nothing more than performance artists with an emphasis on performance (Tim Pool & Clay Travis for example). They're out there for no other reason but to get reactions regardless of whether they're positive or negative. 

I'm hard pressed to take it at face value / assume it's honest. These people live on the internet, not under rocks.

I get it.  RATM are more well known than MFdoom was also.

MUZIK

Some of the best concerts I ever seen.

Unreal.

FML. So glad I flew up for the Chicago show in July 2022. That was the show where Zach was injured.

That's how they announce they're done touring, from the drummer's instagram page? What a bummer all around.

Tom’s speech at the RRHOF a couple months gave strong hints it was over but I guess Brad got tired of the silence. I have to imagine Zack pulled the plug again. Wonder if it’s just because of the physical side of touring or if it’s more than that.

Some of the comments under that instagram post are saying Tim has cancer…. Granted, that’s just instagram comments, so who knows. 

Merkin Baller

Confirmed.

Touring is a capitalist enterprise anyway. Start a commune, have people work the fields, then treat them to a show at night.

I saw RATM in 98, 99 and 07 but had to miss them in 22. I had tickets in 2020. Im totally bummed right now.

Glad I decided to add another show to their 2022 msg run, saw one on floor, then next night on Chase bridge…. Good vibes to Tim

Zod

damn, still so choked that the show I was supposed to see in Vancouver was originally before the leg where Zach hurt himself.   Other bands had already started going out and playing covid shows, but they moved the leg to after the 2nd leg, he got hurt and our show got cancelled.... what a bummer.

Yea dude. And those were some of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Feeling extremely lucky and grateful.

Phenomenal live band...really bummed but I guess I'm glad they reunited and I got to see them live.

Really hoped to get a new album. I wonder if anything was in the works that might be released later.

Tim seemed to be recovering so I'm thinking it is Zack again.

Damn, they were on my bucketlist to see live
