169: Brad Wilk (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave, Prophets of Rage)

Rage Against the Machine is an exceptionally rare band that
managed to combine a radical, populist message with massive
popular success. At the core of the band is Brad Wilk's drumming,
which combines an explosive groove and hypnotic use of space.
Brad visits The Trap Set to discuss: his formative love of Van
Halen; Studying with David Garibaldi; the creative dynamic of
RATM, Audioslave, and Prophets of Rage; playing flute; his
family's roots in the jewelry business; parenting; a nine month
love affair with cocaine; and his growing interest in meditation.
Finally, he answers listeners' questions.
