Such a unique guitarist. Plus I dont think any other man can ever say that they went to Harvard, worked as a male exotic dancer, and played in a successful rock band, all in one lifetime.
Tom highlights the fact that a musician doesnt need a 17 million dollar custom made gold plated guitar to compose great music and innovative sounds. Brand-less guitars bought from pawn shops based upon their look and feel for less than $100 is all thats needed to extract original compositions from a musicians mind. Tom is a very important musician in the musician industry, irrespective of whether you enjoy the style of music he is producing on record and on stage. Legend imo
I love that Tom Morello isn’t about a lot of expensive, high end gear. A phenomenal guitarist and musician that uses pretty basic equipment. I always associated Telecasters with country and classic rock music until I saw what Tom accomplished with it. He was one of the major influences on me to buy a tele and recognize the tonal possibilities it was capable of
its funny how there is pages and pages on the internet of people nitpicking over whether you get better tone from 250k pots vs 500k volume pots and then this guy comes along and shits all over everything with his solid state 20w amp and 40 dollar guitar
You think that's funny? Ever hear the one about the millionaire "communist" who grew up in a very privileged environment, went to an Ivy League school and has made millions through CAPITALISM?
I’m amazed that he still has the same set of guitars from 30 years ago. You would think with all the touring, travel and shows he’s done over the course of those years he would have lost or broken one but very rare. I don’t know any other guitarist that still uses the same set and gear from when they first started.
Tom is a wonderful part of this world... power and influence beyond anything, and he teaches us from a living room and studio. Thank you for the lesson in awesome gtar, and humility.
I love Tom. He’s the biggest inspiration to me as a guitarist because of what he’s done with a handful of pedals. People dis him all the time but I honestly believe he’s the closest thing the 90’s got to Jimi Hendrix.
I love how he makes everything he does so unique while using such surprisingly stock and unassuming gear. On that note, people who talk about solid state amps like they're sub par either haven't played with a Randall, or never actually took the time to experiment and see what kinds of sounds they can dial in.
***** Depends on what you want out of the amp. If you're like me, an amp like my Randall RH200SC is great. It's all up to individual ears ultimately, so to just objectively say "this amp is good and this one is bad" seems really narrow minded to me. As you say, tones. Though again, highly subjective matter. While DImebag Darrel from Pantera swore by Randall solid state, and has said himself that he wasn't trying to create a 'warm' tone (which most every guitarist seems to pine for, yet there doesn't seem to be a clear definition of what constitutes a 'warm' sound), his tone has nonetheless been described as being just that. Even without a tube amp, this nebulous 'warm' sound can still be achieved apparently. Dime's sound was also fairly highly processed, which of course would just water a tone down by conventional logic. To me, that just kind of defeats the idea of trying to find such a sound. I have tried many a tube amp myself, but nothing compares to my Randall to my ears. Anyway, back to my point, it's up to the individual, so there really is no right or wrong approach to my thinking.
brad s Nice dude! First amp I played was a beat old little lunchbox thing my dad got from sears when he was a kid. Had a uber nasty natural fuzz going on from the tubes being so damn old. I gotta go dig that puppy up sometime. XD
Really cool watching this because he grew up in my town (Libertyville, Illinois) and so did Adam Jones so watching how much attention he gets makes me happy because our town birthed him
Nah it's just that labour costs have increased dramatically over the last 20 years especially, Fender American would be similiar to what a mexican costs now
Tom, sorry I missed this 9 friggin years ago! I have been listening to you for 20+ years! I grew up with you, now I am 58. We both have matured a little, but my love for rock never did!! I cannot believe I made it this far, how bout you guys?? I even own a house, own, no mortgage!! I love Mr. Morello, always will. Check out some of his collaborations, you won't be sorry.

90% of comments: Triggered conservatives calling Tom a hypocrite. 9% of comments: Talking about his $40 guitar and 20w solid state that won a Grammy. 1% of comments: *WHERE IS THE "ARM THE HOMELESS" GUITAR?*
I'm not a conservative, and I find his Cosplay communism offensive... especially when he's a very wealthy uber capitalist. No other ideology has killed more people, and the death toll goes up everyday.
@Abel Abel - That's not what he's doing. He's pushing THE most dangerous ideology on Earth. Which has killed more than 100 million people... and counting. Not only is he "living under it (capitalism)" he's part of the 1% that he rails against. The height of hypocrisy.
I love the fact that Tom doesn't gravitate towards owning tons of new guitars, amps and pedals but creates with what he has. It's something we could all do more of.
It's easy to live in Los Angeles and own a guitar with the the writing "sendero luminoso" on. It's easy to do the revolution while you're safe at home, sitting on the sofa.
Assuming he's being honestly, I love that he cherishes his cheap guitars. I still have my $100 Squier bullet that my mother gave me and it's not going anywhere. Just proves that it's not the cost of the guitar but the person playing it. Practice.
Just amazes me how some musicians can make amazing music with $40 guitars and other just can't seem to get there without a custom shop. This reminds me of Brian May from Queen building his guitar from old wood off fire place and table and yet recording hit albums with it.
Respect - a man with integrity and talent. He gets of his arse and demonstrates against injustice and exploitation whilst making great music. A wonderful musician and human being.
it proves with the right amount of mixing anything can be done, put that 20W solid state fender up against a hotrod and its a no brainer which one will come out sounding nicer
AceMyHigh Somewhat yes. I'm sure If I play these guitars/Amps and same sound engineer mixes the sound, I wont sound even close to him. That's regardless how good I am.
So many people scold me for playing on cheap (less than 100$ basses) and always tell me I need to spend more. It's great to see Tom still plays his cheaper guitars despite his success in music. If it works, why spend more!
Ron Johnson they're just jealous that you can make the same sound from your cheap bass that they do on their overpriced basses. And now they're bitter and want to drag you down with them. Rock on, buddy.
Exactly what I thought. I love their music, and style, but that red star, hammer and sickle things get me angry. These communists whose symbol he wears, killed or brought to a gulag most of my relatives for years in the 50's. I think it's as wrong as wearing swastika.
Sorry for dropping my Dr. Pepper on your moms foot at Randy Rhoads mausoleum a couple years ago,still feel bad. Thanks for talking with me a few minutes ,I never even thought to listen to you ,but if you like Randy,I figured ,you may be worth checking out ,and I was right ,you are a great guitar player. And hey,in the 80s I had a Kahler on my Custom Charvel star because that's what Randy was going to have on his Jacksons ,and it's a myth about the tone because with a Kahler you only take out a small piece of wood ,so it doesn't make it sound thinner ,besides that,it is the 80s guitar playing that you evolved from to get to your style. Keep up the great work!
I told him (Tom) and his Mother,when we were there after it happened,we talked for about 15 minutes,he wanted to know about Randy from me since I lived by him growing up and took guitar lessons from Randy ,Tom was way more interested in me then I was in him,this video just made me think about it,I don't think he would or will ever see this ,it is mainly for other people ,some guitar players and fans like stories like this.And why would you even say that about taking a gun? This is a guy that hangs around with his Mom,which is fine ,my Mom went to see Van Halen play their last show,but that whole "I'm a political activist "is a gimmick ,sheesh,KISS had make up ,my band Fatal Attraction were Vampires ,c'mon .

There's no secret, it's a custom made guitar that he modded the shit out of and hated for ages until it reached it's final and current beastly stage. He fitted it with an Ibanez edge trem, EMG pickups and a kramer neck.
Sólo espero que el logo de "Sendero luminoso" en la guitarra de Tom signifique símbolo de destruir el escenario a la hora de tocar, pero si es por defenderlos, si que esta bien enfermo, pero aún así siempre será de mis guitarristas favoritos 🔥🎶
Jeez...Love you Tom...so many years. Fortunate to see you in Pittsburgh at the Rex Theatre. Incredible. Your tribute to Chris...Incredible! I have close up pics of your "Arm the Homeless" guitar. As exciting to see you!
I'm sure he does. Most communists do know about the history of the USSR, and Maoist China, and have critiques of those experiments, based off of the theory of what communism actually means, which is a stateless, classless, moneyless society, based on worker ownership of the means of production (socialism). Which you can pretty much cross both of those experiments off the list for actual communism, let alone even achieving socialism. However there are experiments that did end up working out as far as structure goes. Places like revolutionary Catalonia, the Paris Commune, and the Makhnovist territories. Although they did end up being shut down due to outside sabotaging. There are even some places, despite outside sabotage, that are still going strong. Places like Freetown Christiania Denmark, The EZLN territories of Mexico, and even Cuba.
Great, just a couple of little experiments that didn't work. How many more millions of people need to die before these experiments are finally stopped? Or, maybe we could also declare Nazi Germany to be an experiment that has gone slightly off the mark? Why not make another attempt at creating a racially pure socialist society - what could possibly go wrong?
I admire the creativity of Morello. As a guitarrist myself he is an inspiration to me. But I will always feel insulted everytime I see Morello's "Sendero Luminoso" guitar. Dear Morello, Shining Path killed about 35000 peruvians including women and children. Those motherfuckers aren't revolutionaries. THOSE ARE TERRORISTS.
You can say that again. I'll always enjoy listening to his music but god how can a grown man speak on behalf of such a degenerate movement? That's some sick lack of morals
I had forgotten about this comment lol. I stand with my previous take. I invite you boys and girls to read about Abimael Guzman and the 4th sword of communism he tried to impose in my country back in the 80's taking 35000 peruvians to their graves. But Morello knows better right? I heard he renamed that mentioned guitar a few years ago. If that's true then god bless.
@@ohhimark8028 it wasnt a political movement, they were terrorist. Unfortuntly politics in the time was terrible in Perú, and Sendero made things worst, instead of making a peaceful revolution they Made war Thanks for your comment Rod, lets not forget the damage they caused to our country.
That "Sendero Luminoso" sticker is driving me mad. Sendero Luminoso did not fought for the people´s rights, they were assasins who murdered thousands of innocent people in their search for a "New country". Makes me sick.
@@mrbigg7255probably he has no idea of what Sendero Luminoso really did back in the 80-90´s decade. They murdered farmers, rape children and their mothers, even they perpetuaded a bomb-car attack in Lima (probably thats why Bombtrack" is about Sendero´s leader). Morello should read more about what happened but his a commie a for him thats "empowerment of the people"
Sammy Pisciotta What does that even mean? Can you respond with an intelligent comment, please? I know this is the internet, but we can at least try to be civilized gentlemen.
+Nimzo2005 It's not even an american thing, communism is just a a terrible ideology to begin with. There hasn't been a single fucking instance where it's worked out in anyone but the ruling parties favor.
+tyu hji the fun fact about communism is that it is a very brought ideologie. What you mean is Leninism, and Leninism is a way of communism that didnt work out quiet good. I think that Marxism on the other hand, is not a good way. The point about the hate on communism is ignorance. Many of you really dont understand this complex concept and the advantages and disadvantages of it.
+Felix Nieuwenburg The thing with Lenin is that he died before he could transform the Soviets' economy into a communist one. Under Stalin, all the factories were seized and the economy stayed the same so you basically just had state capitalism which is the farthest thing from Marxism. And you had the fool Stalin saying things like "We have achieved Socialism!" which would of made Lenin turn in his grave. There's nothing wrong with Marxism, it's just that we've had decades and different generations of Americans seeing red scare propaganda like "The Communists are hiding under your bed, trying to kill your puppy, and ruin your family." I encourage everyone to look up Prof. Richard Wolff, he's very well versed on the subject and gives a very objective history of how and why we use still Capitalism today.
It's odd he uses a Telecaster when he plays drop D. I mean, it's sounds great, but it's just not what you would normally use. Also, it has single coil pickups, so it's not even modified with a humbucker.
i think the bridge pickup was a humbucker. some kinda hot-rails type thing. i use a similar pickup in a jackson. but mine is the cool rails! which ironically, sounds warmer!
Common misconception. Telecasters sound just as heavy. Try again. Tom Morello, Kim Thayil, Kurt Cobain, and Chris Cornell just to name a few have all used Teles and played some drop D or C sharp riffs with them. I myself do and it sounds much better than my strat or acoustic electric IMO. This idea needs to die that you can't play drop D or the likes with Teles or single coils. I see and hear this ALL THE TIME.

So,he has challenged me to try and think up something different on guitar ,so I have been,I put them on youtube and my Facebook site and checks them out and gets back to me with either good or what he thinks I should do,I actually stopped reading the posts on here ,but you seemed like a nice guy ,so I answered .Or at least told you the real story ,I just posted the Dr.Pepper incident in case he might see ,which is unlikely ,and get a laugh out of it ,i don't care what anyone here has to say especially if it's negative stuff,I they were standing in front of me ,they would be scared to death! ,but thanks for your comment.
He didn't really show the Arm the Homeless guitar, or explain it. I guess it's a secret.
"Arm the Homeless" is a socialist thing. It's about giving the oppressed the means to rise up.
There's no secret, it's a custom made guitar that he modded the shit out of and hated for ages until it reached it's final and current beastly stage. He fitted it with an Ibanez edge trem, EMG pickups and a kramer neck.
Excellent Tom!
Those guitars are mine as well.
One of my Favorite Gutiars "Arm the homeless"
He should thanks Captalism for being able to get ALL this stuffs...
REAL, just another rich communist with his multi-million dollar house in LA.
Sólo espero que el logo de "Sendero luminoso" en la guitarra de Tom signifique símbolo de destruir el escenario a la hora de tocar, pero si es por defenderlos, si que esta bien enfermo, pero aún así siempre será de mis guitarristas favoritos 🔥🎶
No es simbólico, lamentablemente.
Tom Morello es comunista 🙄 es obvio que ama a sendero luminoso el muy b4$tard0 🤦♂️
No es para defenderlos, ya hablo de eso en una entrevista
@@santiagosombra5622 y para que lo tiene en su guitarra?
Jeez...Love you Tom...so many years. Fortunate to see you in Pittsburgh at the Rex Theatre. Incredible. Your tribute to Chris...Incredible! I have close up pics of your "Arm the Homeless" guitar. As exciting to see you!
About to see you in Pittsburgh on Friday. I am happy you are OK. I am so beyond excited to see all of you guys finally! Over 25 years! Stay safe!
That's cool that Tom still has his first guitar.
I like that
what happened to the ARM THE HOMELESS guitar?
He was playing it near the end
This man needs to learn some history about the USSR for real.
I'm sure he does. Most communists do know about the history of the USSR, and Maoist China, and have critiques of those experiments, based off of the theory of what communism actually means, which is a stateless, classless, moneyless society, based on worker ownership of the means of production (socialism). Which you can pretty much cross both of those experiments off the list for actual communism, let alone even achieving socialism. However there are experiments that did end up working out as far as structure goes. Places like revolutionary Catalonia, the Paris Commune, and the Makhnovist territories. Although they did end up being shut down due to outside sabotaging. There are even some places, despite outside sabotage, that are still going strong. Places like Freetown Christiania Denmark, The EZLN territories of Mexico, and even Cuba.
William Sophistos "the USSR wasn't really communist" *wears hammer and sickle symbol*
MegaDoubleStack Symbols =/= substance.
СССР сила!!!
Great, just a couple of little experiments that didn't work. How many more millions of people need to die before these experiments are finally stopped?
Or, maybe we could also declare Nazi Germany to be an experiment that has gone slightly off the mark? Why not make another attempt at creating a racially pure socialist society - what could possibly go wrong?
O mito da Guitarra!!
It VIBRATES 😳
Hey Tom...Im a singer and one of my dreams before I die is play with you,,,Im from NJ@USA...early 90"s never die !!
I admire the creativity of Morello. As a guitarrist myself he is an inspiration to me. But I will always feel insulted everytime I see Morello's "Sendero Luminoso" guitar. Dear Morello, Shining Path killed about 35000 peruvians including women and children. Those motherfuckers aren't revolutionaries. THOSE ARE TERRORISTS.
You can say that again. I'll always enjoy listening to his music but god how can a grown man speak on behalf of such a degenerate movement? That's some sick lack of morals
I never knew that...man, what the hell!? I have a newfound lack of respect for Tom knowing that
Don’t worry he has a political science degree from Harvard so he knows better than you
I had forgotten about this comment lol. I stand with my previous take. I invite you boys and girls to read about Abimael Guzman and the 4th sword of communism he tried to impose in my country back in the 80's taking 35000 peruvians to their graves. But Morello knows better right? I heard he renamed that mentioned guitar a few years ago. If that's true then god bless.
@@ohhimark8028 it wasnt a political movement, they were terrorist. Unfortuntly politics in the time was terrible in Perú, and Sendero made things worst, instead of making a peaceful revolution they Made war
Thanks for your comment Rod, lets not forget the damage they caused to our country.
That "Sendero Luminoso" sticker is driving me mad.
Sendero Luminoso did not fought for the people´s rights, they were assasins who murdered thousands of innocent people in their search for a "New country". Makes me sick.
Thanks for your comment. Im from peru and I know what sendero luminoso was. Assasins of innocent children and women.
@@user-yy9le7sx1vim Peruvian too, and yeah is pretty disgusting to see that
And this clown holds him up as a hero?
@@mrbigg7255probably he has no idea of what Sendero Luminoso really did back in the 80-90´s decade. They murdered farmers, rape children and their mothers, even they perpetuaded a bomb-car attack in Lima (probably thats why Bombtrack" is about Sendero´s leader). Morello should read more about what happened but his a commie a for him thats "empowerment of the people"
Its a used guitar so....
i dont share toms views but i think the only place where he really goes too far is the "sendero luminoso" guitar. he should really chip that paint off
I love your cap, Tom
Love you Tom!!!
Can i join liquid jesus please?
omg... did I just hear Tom Morello say "When I was transition..."?! O.M.G. who is this person?
Hearing Colours when he was transitioning from ratm to audioslave
I should probably know this but what is the name of the first background song starting at 0:13?
audioslave - be yourself
That was the first thing I noticed. You hit the nail on the head.
Happy Birthday Tom, I wish you all the health and happiness of the world to you and your family :)
He sounds like Obama.
Exactly
Obama’s last name is Morello confirmed
Obama be like wau wau cacu wauwau cacucacucacu
Fuck Obama and all democrats
@@onetrickpony5884 yep
Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time?
I think you mean Tom Morello and His 99 Bitches.
haha damn right
He ain't all that... I know local guitarists that are better than him
Sammy Pisciotta Yup. And even Hendrix would admit it.
go back to the music
Sammy Pisciotta What does that even mean? Can you respond with an intelligent comment, please?
I know this is the internet, but we can at least try to be civilized gentlemen.
Why you sensored the Marshall's logo from the JCM800? .-.
because he doesn't want any endorsement given or asked for
Mike Svensson Jajajajaj dude he has tons of comercials for marshall th-cam.com/video/aJXzY9vhqZg/w-d-xo.html
My first guitar hero.
If they got rid of comments, I'd actually watch most of these videos
Ok posers with your vintage guitars and $6k custom shops, Tom did pretty well with regular guitars
Ok
Morello es un capo, pero tener el Sendero Luminoso en la guitarra... es como poner 9/11 y una carita feliz...
kotzensue
Voy a suponer que lo trollearon diciendole que era una guerrilla de izquierda y el pelotudo se la creyó
El creyo que eb verdad eran Izquierdistas o Comunistas
El sendero luminoso causó mucho sufrimiento a la gente de mi país
Pero bueno , supongo que estaba desinformado
I like his hat :)
one of the best of our time
morello is a.awsome human.being....and a beast with the guitar..
This man bought a cheap guitar at a pawn shop and won a Grammy with it????
Did i hear that correctly or am i missing something?
It's funny to see how americans get out of their mind when they see a red star.
true
+Nimzo2005 It's not even an american thing, communism is just a a terrible ideology to begin with. There hasn't been a single fucking instance where it's worked out in anyone but the ruling parties favor.
+tyu hji the fun fact about communism is that it is a very brought ideologie. What you mean is Leninism, and Leninism is a way of communism that didnt work out quiet good. I think that Marxism on the other hand, is not a good way. The point about the hate on communism is ignorance. Many of you really dont understand this complex concept and the advantages and disadvantages of it.
+Felix Nieuwenburg The thing with Lenin is that he died before he could transform the Soviets' economy into a communist one. Under Stalin, all the factories were seized and the economy stayed the same so you basically just had state capitalism which is the farthest thing from Marxism. And you had the fool Stalin saying things like "We have achieved Socialism!" which would of made Lenin turn in his grave. There's nothing wrong with Marxism, it's just that we've had decades and different generations of Americans seeing red scare propaganda like "The Communists are hiding under your bed, trying to kill your puppy, and ruin your family." I encourage everyone to look up Prof. Richard Wolff, he's very well versed on the subject and gives a very objective history of how and why we use still Capitalism today.
Funny, pathetic, scary and dangerous at the same time
My middle finger raised fr all hater.keep calm nd enjoy guitar.
Went from raging against the machine to raging FOR the machine…and he’s doing what is essentially a commercial advertisement.
I actually have his pawnshop guitar. It's a St. George MP2. Mine is blue and still has the original pickups. It's very light. Pretty cool guitar.
It's odd he uses a Telecaster when he plays drop D. I mean, it's sounds great, but it's just not what you would normally use. Also, it has single coil pickups, so it's not even modified with a humbucker.
I think that was his motive. He wanted a different sound and he got it. Worked out well, so it did something right!
+Marco Dellorusso exactly what i thought when i saw it
i think the bridge pickup was a humbucker. some kinda hot-rails type thing. i use a similar pickup in a jackson. but mine is the cool rails! which ironically, sounds warmer!
Single coils can rock just as heavy
Common misconception. Telecasters sound just as heavy. Try again. Tom Morello, Kim Thayil, Kurt Cobain, and Chris Cornell just to name a few have all used Teles and played some drop D or C sharp riffs with them. I myself do and it sounds much better than my strat or acoustic electric IMO. This idea needs to die that you can't play drop D or the likes with Teles or single coils. I see and hear this ALL THE TIME.
While everyone's arguing about his beliefs, I'm sitting here just waiting to hear him shred.
I like his politics and his music. Tom is inspirational on 2 fronts which is why I admire him.
one day I will meet Tom , to shake his hand . this is my real dream !
really popped out with the sickle and hammer hat
