  • Rage Against the Machine guitarist and social justice crusader Tom Morello stopped by the Rolling Stone studio to perform two songs from World Wide Rebel Songs, his fourth album as the Nightwatchman. After the set, Morello explained why he embraced electric rock instrumentation on the new disc after playing only acoustic on the first three Nightwatchman records.

    That's just so nice how he always gets excited when talking about things, all kins of things. Always lively, smiling and upbeat.

    Ugh. I really dislike the misinformed people that say stuff like, "He's a rich man. He is part of the elite and he's bagging on them..." Please go do a little research. Tom Morello did not grow up wealthy. He's not from a rich family. BUT he worked his ass off and he got into Harvard Law School. He graduated from Harvard Law. There is a VERY tiny percentage of people who can even get into Harvard, let alone graduate from there. So Tom Morello set himself up for success either way. He was good to go either way. A degree from Harvard = Prominent jobs and big money. So he was a self made man. He just happened to go the route of playing in RATM and they became big.

      He went to Harvard as undergrad, not law school. Still impressive.

      He may have gone to Harvard but that doesn’t stop him from being a completely misinformed person. He supports communism and the murderous Fidel Castro dictatorship which is astonishing for someone so seemingly well educated.

    • @poopskipper4070
      @poopskipper4070 Před 6 lety

      I guess he thinks it’s ok to murder people with opposing political views because that’s what Castro did and he holds him in high regard. I will never listen to anything by this man again after learning this about him.

    Creativity takes time and thats what most people don't get...
    Great bands like Rage and Tool... I totally understand when they talk about not rushing their process of making new music and ideas. And even if they don't come out with new music, I'll die happy to know that I've listened to their music and they've shared their knowledge with me as a listener. Their music has influenced me in so many ways and has helped shaped me into the man I am today.

    For many years I've been wanting Rage to make new music (And I still do). However, I went to the L.A Rising festival, and my mind was blown, it honestly changed my life. So if they do L.A Rising every year, and they don't come up with new music, I might have to compromise with that.

    You people realize that Rolling Stone is an ancient, dinosaur on its last legs? This publication talked about how amazing Woodstock 69' was but failed to report on how fucked up the hippies left the venue afterward. It was so fucked up the hippies needed the National Guard to help them all out.

    This guy is 48 years old, he looks like hes 25.
    There is a large gap of practical experience missing from his life as is evident of his face and lifestyle.
    In otherwords, Tom Morello has spent his life writing music that "RANTS AGAINST THE 'MACHINE' "
    But he has done so living comfortably in the Los Angeles Hills.
    This dude is a complete joke.
