Rage Against The Machine Member Spotted In Studio

Brad Wilk of Rage Against the Machine was recently spotted laying down some drum tracks at Rancho de la Luna this past week. Fans are wondering what he might be working on. A picture has been posted by the Instagram account of Rancho de la Luna.

Brad Wilk reveals Rage Against The Machine have split

Wilk recently revealed that Rage Against the Machine decided to call it quits for a third time in January this year. Taking to his Instagram account,, the founding member went on to address a series of canceled dates as part of Rage’s Public Service Announcement reunion tour. He wrote:

“I know a lot of people are waiting for us to announce new tour dates for all the canceled RATM shows,” he wrote. “I don’t want to string people or myself along any further. So while there has been some communication that this may be happening in the future… I want to let you know that RATM (Tim, Zack, Tom and I) will not be touring or playing live again. I’m sorry for those of you who have been waiting for this to happen. I really wish it was…”

Formation and split

Well, this is not the first time that the band decided to split. The quartet consisting of frontman Zack de la Rocha, bassist Tim Commerford, guitarist Tom Morello and Wilk, formed in the early 1990s and staggered the mainstream with its reactionary and politically-charged music.

However, following their success, Rocha decided to release a statement in 2000 that he was leaving the band because “our decision-making process has completely failed.” The remaining members splintered off to form Audioslave with lead singer Chris Cornell, who would inevitably leave the band in 2007.

That same year, Rage had a reunion to headline Coachella and subsequently toured in the years that followed. By 2011, they had played their final show at L.A Rising and indicated their split for the second time.

Third reunion

However, Rage Against The Machine caught the attention when they reunited for their third run in 2020, announcing the Public Service Announcement tour. The pandemic forced them to push back the tour and Rage inevitably picked it back up in 2022. On the second date of the tour, Rocha injured his Achilles tendon, and while they finished the first leg of the planned shows, they canceled the remainder due to the severity of his injuries.

Rage Against The Machine was mostly absent during their induction ceremony into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Morello was the sole member who accepted the honor, and noted that the group has “differing opinions on a lot of things, including being inducted.” He did pay tribute to Rage, though, and thanked the “fifth member of the band,” referring to the fans.

We will now have to wait and see what the future holds for the band.
