Yeah but I've always said Rage would only do better without Zack and his bullshit lyrics. There was some cracked.com article on how every RAtM song is written. I'll paraphrase from memory.

Tom Morello: Hey, I've got this kick-ass guitar riff plus rhythm and melody lines to go with it. Tim worked out the bass.
Zack: I got eight lines of lyrics. I'll just repeat them over and over again.

I've never liked RAtM, I've never understood thew appeal. They had one interesting song from The Matrix but it was only good because of the guitar riff fitting the tone of the movie so well. When I got the soundtrack and heard him sing I realized the song kind of sucked.

Ah yeah. I know the one you're talking about. Intro sounds ripped off from Zeppelin. I know that's an overused phrase, but it really, really sounds like them.
