To be fair with Zach nobody but Tom showed up. I could see maybe Brad there but there was no way that Timmy C was going to be there

I'm not on X, but I bet the comments were along the lines of "stop being political and just make music"...

trying to imagine someone who'd make that comment actually listening to one RATM song, and not having their smooth brain blow away by all the *checks notes* political messages.

To be fair - the politics are kinda subtle. I mean at the end of Know Your Enemy it's hard to tell if he's advocating or condeming the 'American Dream', and Wake Up - thought that was just some cool shit they did for The Wachowskis to put in their movie

What's the dirt on why this band can't stay together? I was never clear on it.

I think because Tom Morello kept farting on stage.

Original breakup:
Guitarist Tom Morello said in an interview, "There was so much squabbling over everything. And I mean everything. We would even have fist fights over whether our T-shirts should be mauve or camouflaged! It was ridiculous. We were patently political, internally combustible. It was ugly for a long time." De la Rocha's departure prompted the official breakup of the band, though its other three members in Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk would stay together in the group's next iteration Audioslave

I also thought the zapatistas were just a bunch of Nike´s fans

mm im more in the Zack is responsable team. The guy seems to be over with RATM and him coming back felt always more like a cash grab for him than the others. Plus, he doesnt tour or play music at all.

I could buy that but Zach did two reunion tours with the band already, so the cash element is there. Maybe touring got too difficult for him i dont know.
I totally agree that he seems to be creatively done. He has been for a long time..,.20 years at least?

i think Zack is a basket case
his dad was a lunatic
and it traumatized him
and he lives in a very erratic headspace
which does not translate well to conventional touring or recording reliability
I also thought the zapatistas were just a bunch of Nike´s fans
