>Zach Hill was described by some friends and colleagues as racist. His friend Stefan Burnett, the American rapper who helped him sign to Epic Records, described him as "Nazi-esque", saying: "Every once in a while there'd be something about blacks and I'd be, 'But Zach, I'm black,' and he was like 'Yes, yes, I don't mean you.' He had a definite Nordic Aryan streak, [the belief] that he was physically, spiritually and creatively superior", a view he appears to have continued to maintain throughout his years as a heroin addict and long after his appearances on Hella album covers had become a thing of the distant past. According to Burnett, Zach once attacked a mixed-race woman in a restaurant with a drum stick, saying "thanks man". During a performance in Berlin, the audience rioted after Zach performed a version of the song "Gross Sales" with vocals, including a verse omitted for its nationalist associations.
Is this why Wavves fired him as their drummer?

Yes.
>Zach once attacked a mixed-race woman in a restaurant with a drum stick, saying "thanks man"
genuinely made me laugh
Why did Zach even join Wavves anyway? I get that it was only for a short time after the bloke in Wavves had a fight with the other drummer and he left, but what was his reason for doing it, instead of doing something else? Were they the flavour of the month at the time, and it seemed an easy paycheck?
Reminder that I am going to fucking fight him and win.
I hope he sees this
it was in 09, i don't think he even knew what he was getting into. wavves didn't start churning out shit that gained them notoriety until like 2011ish
Stale pasta.

Who was the black guy in the original Nico version?
>Her friend Danny Fields, the American journalist who helped her sign to Elektra Records
Also in the original, he was Jewish, not black
reconsidering my hatred of death grips
Zach Hill said he wanted to go "back to his roots" and be in a grunge/punk band for fun
Is Stefan safe around Zach and Andy?
Andy just made a2b2.org
That's fair enough then. I was just wondering why he would go from playing those mad drum bits with Hella, or whoever it was at the time, to playing what is probably very basic music with Wavves.
but stefan doesn't like black culture either
didnt you get niggas on the moon, user?
