I'm not used to hearing Chuck rhyme "in the pocket" (a VERY musical term)


I've been listening to RATM since the mid 90's. They are VERY about a specific Rock groove to me. Whatever variations they've done, they still have a signature/stereotypical groove to me - which is why they are them. (Zack is known for saying that's why he was frustrated by the band - because Zack wanted them more Sonic Youth type of rhythm experiemental than what EVERYBODY knows RATM for).


I just don't really know if Chuck could come off with Rage rhythm. I'm pretty sure B-Real can because B-Real's style fits an "in the pocket" type of rock rhythm.


I didn't say Chuck outright couldn't.
