Tom: *teaching*
Also Tom: oops, accidentally made a hit song lol

Imagine that student, like he will be in a bar one day, Killing in the Name comes on, and he will get to be like. "I was there when Tom wrote that riff"

[PedroxCompany]

“Once upon a time there was a band called Audioslave.” I really felt that :”)

[JBrooksNYS]

Imagine your guitar teacher writing a riff right in front of you and then him going on to take over the world with it.

Tom is so creative with a relatively conservative setup. He’s kept his pedalboard pretty much the same since the early 90’s. Innovator.

[foxmulder]

Imagine being the student that Morello was teaching when he thought of the riff for Killing In the Name. It must be so cool to witness musical history in front of your own eyes.

Toms Audition:
Well I don’t know any chords or scales but I can rub the strings with my hand and turn the sound on and off

Rage against the machine:
Perfect, you’re hired

I know Tom's not the most technical guitar player, he doesn't fly through scales, doesn't sweep, but the guys got such a good ear for riffs its nuts. He has put out many classic riffs. I think of him like a younger Angus Young, simple riffs that millions of people can groove too.

[SpongeBath_ShitPants]

Tom Morello is basically Larvell from _Police Academy_ with a guitar.

[megahawk]

Wow. That last riff is awesome.
Almost sounds like piano on drum machine.

[Alienkiwi]

This is the first time I've seen his guitars without uncut strings hanging on the headstocks

[hooptyhoop]

No matter what he does, he will always impress me.

[SelfHealingGod]

Rage was the greatest they were underground till the very end. They did not sell out like the others. Rage & Tom was always smart ..

[baxlug]

that helicopter sound is the best of all .. haha tom for life

[gibran]

This Man Genius on Guitar and Sound Effect, even though the band is no longer active but diq never backs down in music.

He is Guitar Hero.

[gonza]

Who else thhinks Tom Morello is THE most important guitar hero of the last 30 years: his importance and influence defined a new sound in rock music.

[damachine]

6:00 This reminds me a bit of Cathedral, by Eddie Van Halen. Tom is turning down the volume on one of the pickups and using the toggle switch while Eddie has volume going to both pickups, and uses the actual volume switch.

[moosedrummer]

Takes a brilliant mind to come up with this stuff.

[dyalama]

Tom Morello is very talented guitarist he is living legend

[sergioaraya]
