Rage Against the Machine bassist Tim Commerford gave a "maybe" when asked last month by TMZ if the band was going to be making a new album. Now, Commerford has given a slightly different response when asked the question yet again, with an added dig at Republican Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan in reaction to the politician's claims that he's a certified Rage fan.

A few days ago, TMZ caught up with Commerford in a parking lot again (watch below), and once again asked the bassist about a new RATM album. "Definitely, maybe. Anything's possible," said Commerford, adding yet another positive, yet mysterious answer to one of rock music's most burning questions.

He was also asked about Republican Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan, who earlier this year claimed to be a fan of Rage Against the Machine. Commerford tells TMZ, "Clearly he's not that smart to be admitting that. It just seems like it's stupid for him to even bring it up, so he's obviously not that smart of a guy." When the interview suggested it might be the band's "infectious bass lines," Commerford quipped, "It must be the bass, it's gotta be the bass."

Commerford's Rage bandmate  Tom Morello previously commented on Ryan's love of rage, saying, "Paul Ryan's love of Rage Against the Machine is amusing, because he is the embodiment of the machine that our music has been raging against for two decades."
