Support NeoGAF

[Rest]

Apparently Tim Commerford has started a new band. I'm not usually very excited about new projects from members of bands that I like, but their first single, "Knucklehead," is actually pretty good. I always thought of Tom Morello as the major creative force in RATM and Audioslave, but it seems I didn't give Commerford enough credit. I thought of him as tone and power, but this music shows that he was a big part of the melody as well.

Excerpts:

The avid mountain-biking enthusiast was introduced to drummer and restaurant owner Mathias Wakrat through Rage frontman Zack de la Rocha[...]

With the addition of guitarist Laurent Grangeon, Wakrat, Commerford's punk- and hardcore-influenced new group that Tom Morello called an "ultra-heavy power trio," was born.

The song is as dark as the video is epilepsy-inducing, with Commerford, who wrote all the album's lyrics, screaming, "Gimme the gun/Fuck the knife/I'm alright … Why am I locked in my aquarium?" For Commerford, it's a deeply personal song that was more cathartic than entertaining.

"I've been dealing with some very deep, dark family stuff in the last year, stuff that left me in tears[...]"

Searched, found nothing.
Rage against me if old.

I'm a bit surprised that no one cares about Tim Commerford. Not even bassists of GAF?
