Rage Against The Machine's Zack de la Rocha apparently tore his ACL
The band had recently canceled their European tour dates to allow Zack time to rest

According to photographer Glen E. Friedman, Zack de la Rocha has a torn ACL. No official word from the band on a diagnosis, but this does explain their recently canceled European tour dates allowing Zack time to heal.
The photographer's Instagram post read:
Before I review for you the story of the 1st image, I want you to know that I am posting this today because I went to see my good friend Zack (with his torn ACL) perform last night at Madison Square Garden, one of the most hallowed venues in the modern world. RATM sold out FIVE nights. Even having to sit during the performance Zack De La Rocha showed the world what they had been missing in all the years he had been away from this incredible group of musicians. Zack "brought it" like few other ever have or ever could. Integrity, and heart, the touchstones of the most important and greatest. I had a great fucking time and was going off like a spoiled child up in front of the barricades because that's how I'm used to it, being close and feeling it and letting it go through and move me.
I was inspired! Even used my iPhone to a make a few shots & video clips, I'll add them here when you swipe left. I think I may even go back with some film and shoot OG style tonight, problem is the size of the venue and stage, for me, takes away the intimacy of closeness I usually go for, and the inconsistent lighting can be more than challenging when you go all analog/manual like I do. Maybe one day I'll figure out how to use one of those digital cameras 🤷🏽♂️

Post CommentAll the conservative CHUDs here are so funny. They act so tough, alpha, and un bothered by everything (because being a dick is a conservative virtue signal for some reason), YET they loose their f*cking minds over a website ownership page. "EHRMERGERDDD LURKISRUINING THE WORLD HES PART OF THE GLOBALISTS ELITES (we really mean jews) RUININGTHINGS WOKE BROKE HILARYS EMAILS. SAD!"
^^ I bet you felt accomplished after writing all of that.
Old worn out commie hurts himself during his hypocritical capitalist performance. This whole band is cringelord incels
My fantasy rap metal team took a big hit today. I will have scrounge for another vocalist to pick up.
He can't stand with the Ukraine on a torn ACL.

Cant be a Commie and have muscles at the same time. They dont go together. Cause you actually have to WORK at building muscles, you cant ask the government for them. Get f*cked Zack. I hope you have arthritis pain in that knee every time you bend it to your corporate overlords.
Can he file a worker's comp claim on that one?
He will probably sue someone cause of it. Because they didnt provide a safe space for him to walk on, hence the tearing of the ACL. ACL injuries usually happen from hamstring failure and or also from being a weak whiny bitch.
I love LG cause bands can be touring and bustin their ass for 20 plus years and I'll be the first to tell them they Ll take it up the ass and to crash their bus
Told them I was born deaf and I'm their biggest fan I've been to every single one of their concerts
They should get the singer from downset to fill in for Zack de la Morris.
If this country was the communist shithole this hypocritical dork band wish it was he wouldn't have access to the healthcare he's going to need to fix his ACL.
Daily reminder that the president of the United States is a demented pedophile.
> at Madison Square Garden, one of the most hallowed venues in the modern world. RATM sold out FIVE nights Incredible. Never heard of this venue but maybe we can get Terror there next. Hardcore is unstoppable
he said that music can change the world, but with lyrics like that I'm so glad he's wrong
If we had universal Healthcare and communism this wouldn't have happened.
I really like injecting water into my c*ck veins

Don't get me wrong, us "conservatives" encourage you to continue lol
That's what old people do, they fall asleep.
anonymous 47 minutes ago Don't get me wrong, us "conservatives" encourage you to continue lol We can't NOT continue. There's just too much good stuff: Trump getting raided and investigated for violating the espionage act, Alex Jones cucking himself to Roger Stone (LOOOOOL), Boebert fam being neighborly with domestic violence, Gaetz being investigated for sex trafficking, MTG praying with Straka and then Straka sells out conservatives. All objective facts, and all objectively hilarious.

Drumpf will literally be remembered in history like George Wallace, Bull Connor, Richard Nixon, Joseph McCarthy. All of his supporters will be shown in photos of history books in the same way segregationists have been depicted. The authoritarian and fascist tactics of his regime will be a stain on our history.

Call the president." You truly are pathetic. A regular Beto O'Rourke supporter.
Lol at the deluded leftist chode in the comment section. What a nut.
I heard he got the injury because he forgot to stretch before sodomizing Sunny Hate5six with his penis.

Blame it on me not being a native english speaker, but I read "tore his asshole" first lol
Trump lives rent free in Leftists' heads. Pretty funny. They think and talk about him more than those who voted for him lol. Unhinged libtards. The red wave is coming, hope you have your rainbow floaties ready! XOXO
it's true. he lives in my head rent free. best standup routine I've seen in a long time. cannot purge from memory. big fat kiss.
Right wingers do only two things in this world: jack off to Trump, and post dumb shit on the internet.
People that say 'rent free in your head bro' love tapout shirts, affliction, and stickers on the back of their car with 'The Shocker'

Has there ever been a bigger dick rider than GEF? Shuffling pics he took 40 years ago like a deck of cards and selling it as a new book, and name dropping harder than anyone could even imagine
Communist STYG are so bummed. Maybe they'll set up a go fund to pay their airplane tickets for free healthcare in Cuba.
Look at all the commies in this thread larping the right side of history while wearing a Che Guevara tee 😆 Cash for the rage.
This is the first comments section I've read on here since the Bleeding Through van flip, and I gotta say it's f*ckin hilarious seeing "regular Beto O'Rourke supporter" used as an insult. PS Rage On Behalf Of The Pfizer Machine shouldn't have used commie-made ACLs.
^ welcome back! Glad you're still spreading the good word, but we already have the janitorial, fast food, call center, and shitposting spaces pretty saturated. The tens and tens of us who dedicate all our energy to this hang out in discord somewhere. Come find us.
Matt Anderson here: I'm so TUFF and listen to my hard ass bands and don't mind me while I smack my wife around. That's what you do in a crew
Why the hell are people dissing RAGE?! They started so much music! However I do hate the way Zack lazily raps live now - a bit self centered & impossible to sing along to! But LEGENDS come on losers!!
The only good band is Premonitions of War. f*ck RAGE and f*ck YOU
Great, maybe he'll stop rapping like a sagerrrr.
The hell does that nerd need a double necked guitar for?
f*ck you why won't you do what the megacorps and federal government tell you? RATM = corporate and government bootlickers. Repeat the line
Rage were always against government & any form of oppression? v strange comments on here by v strange people
Rage against the machine our band is part of. Go to hottopic and buy our shirt
Rage were always against government & any form of oppression? v strange comments on here by v strange people That's cause the idiot right wing extremists on here fail to recognize that nothing about RATMs politics or ideology has changed since the 90s, but it is actually their OWN politics that have slowly shifted towards the extreme brand of conservativism that you see eroding public discourse and social norms throughout society.
My views haven't changed since occupy Wallstreet in 2008. Back then I was considered a progressive. Now somehow that makes me a right wing extremist. That's fine with me. At least I know what my gender is
Thinking about the one person who actually cared and was going to post something serious and went to the comments lol
anonymous 13 hours ago The only good band is Premonitions of War. f*ck RAGE and f*ck YOU permalink | report abuse I'd settle for sleep.
Oh no! I'm so glad this was reported to us, I have been so very concerned about this.

Extremists? The truth is the truth, no matter who says it.
Second comment from top shows how f*cked we are…
"nothing about RATMs politics or ideology has changed since the 90s" Yeah, they've always simped for Big Pharma and Big Government, bro - as long as Big Pharma and Big Gov pushed the Hot Topic commie talking points, that is. Turn 15 and come back with a good argument, nerd.
anonymous 1 hour ago Second comment from top shows how f*cked we are… permalink | report abuse … Exactly, and he keeps embarrassing himself endlessly in every comments section.
conservates rape children. They do it all the time. Hell Trump and his buddy Epstein were doing it for years. Who do you think had Epstein killed? When Trump was pres, he had a lot to lose with Epstein talking, so had to tcb.

Fauci here. I'm working with a secret wing of government scientists and one of our biggest experiments is how to make people gay. This BIG experiment should go public by 2025. We are doing it in China.
Woke idiot here. All cops are bastards, except for the FBI. Those are cool dudes. Of course, I'm a communist who wants the police federalized.
This article couldnt transcribe the correct injury from the instagram post.. it clearly says he tore his Achilles not his acl
^I expect a redaction and updated insult from Rick_tochett. He spent a lot of time and effort with his weak commie knees shtick. I would like to see it updated to reflect the correct injury
Cock de la Smoka-----------> jizz bullet in ya mouth...
I just took a dump that looks exactly like trumps brain
If Trump's brain looks like shit, imagine that demented piece of shit Biden's brain. Old sniffy Joe is toast. November and 2024 is going to be a bloodbath for the leftards lol.
^ nah, it won't be. right wing losers gonna keep on losing.

Maybe he should fly to Cuba with his boyfriend the STYG singer and get dat good ol no strings attached free health-care. They love communism so much but play in rock bands to cash in.

If he was vaxxed and boosted he still would have torn his ACL but not as severely.
