Zach de la rocha played drums in one, guitar in another, and was the frontman of Inside out. Not too surprised, honestly. Rage has always had a kind of punk anger to it (lyrically too), set to tom morello's groovy guitar riffs. His vocals are a lot more abrasive on inside out. And the band's also a lot more generic than rage.

People seem to usually be surprised Frank Turner was in a (post) hardcore band called million dead, but for me it was the other way around. You can occasionally hear his voice yell like he used to in his folk rock outputs, and get to hear and see references of him liking punk. Not only was he in million dead and did he have another hardcore band before that, he's also in the not so serious mongol horde now.

For a while, Flea played bass in hardcore/punk rock band FEAR. Quite a lot simpler than what he plays now im the peppers.

Anywho, list more
