Read this: Zack de la Rocha's most powerful performances (that aren't with Rage Against The Machine)
“I'm definitely not against self-betterment, and I’m not trying to make light of anyone’s struggle; I'm just kind of amused and fascinated by that whole aspect of social media. Like someone will post, 'I’m done drinking coffee!' Okay, well then just stop drinking coffee – you don't have to try to stop the internet for the day to tell everybody that you're done with Maxwell House! I find that funny, and somewhat narcissistic. But that's just my opinion, and I'm kind of an asshole!”
He continues of how the track came about: “We were on tour with White Reaper and I don't think I would've written that riff if I wasn't hanging out with [their guitarists] Tony [Esposito] and Hunter [Thompson]. They had just played with The Killers, so everyday we were always playing the Mr. Brightside riff together. I think that opened my mind to stadium-rock cheese, even more so than before.
“There are songs on this new album that are much heavier than this song, and then there are songs that are a bit more vulnerable than this one – so Done With Drugs is kind of an outlier in the fact that it's in the middle of the spectrum.”
