Back in January, Rage Against The Machine drummer Brad Wilk made headlines after claiming that the band had broken up. However, it appears bassist Tim Commerford is still unsure about the group’s future.
Commerford told Rolling Stone the following:
“There’s four people in the band. I’m just one quarter of Rage. I’ve spent the last two years healing [from prostate cancer]. And there’s four people that all are living. Brad just had a brand new baby… Also, [vocalist] Zack [de la Rocha] fuckin’ ruptured his Achilles tendon. You can’t even go on a plane when that shit happens. That’s a fact. The healing process, as you can see in sports, takes a long time.”
He continued when pressed if the band is done:
“I don’t know. I don’t get involved in that. I’m the bass player. I just wait for someone to tell me what to do. Brad said what he said, but he’s one step above me. He’s in the number three spot. I am the low man on the totem pole. That’s all I can tell you. I’m the bass player. The bass players always are the last people to find out about shit like that.”
He also confirmed that he would be open to performing with the band again:
“When the Rage light gets shined up in the clouds, like the Bat-Signal that Batman would see and would know that he had to go do some shit…that’s how I live it. And that feels the best for me. This is the first time in my life that I’ve been able to really remove myself from it and be like, ‘Yeah, I live off the grid.’ And that in itself is enough.”
