The Best of Tom Morello

Some of his greatest solos performed live in concert. My personal favorite is the neat little trick he pulls off at 4:18. he makes it look easy.

tom is definatly a great guitar player, even though he doesnt have some of the mind blowing solo`s like some other guitarists he has one of the best styles around that really defines his playing.

That`s the mark of a truely great musician, he doesn`t have to be the most technically skilled player in the world but he completely owns his own unique (and amazing) sound.

Being the true Rage fan that I am, Audioslave is such a gigantic disappointment. And I would definitely say that this is not Tom`s "Best of." I honestly don`t think he utilizes all his skills with Audioslave like he did with Rage.

For all those RATM fans out there, here`s the link to a RATM DVD that I uploaded a while back, it`s so powerful:

It`s a shame he didn`t play the solo like that for I am the Highway. There was a solo he did in Cuba that was awesome.

If you want to see the trick at 4:18 done better, and i mean crazy better watch Michael Angelo Batio do it. And the song he plays is good even with the super speed playing style, which i generally dislike.

Thank you Dillinger, ill definitely give that a look.
i agree audioslave was a huge step down from RATM and the solos became a lot less creative, but theyre still great. RATM will always be king

^
yeah i saw Michael Angelo do that trick on his weirdass guitar. Morello just makes it look extremely smooth

think Tom is great, not so much in Audioslave... However he would be nothing without using Wah and effects. Like trying to play the soundgarden solo was so weak.

Yeahh, Tom Morello is pretty awesome.
I saw Audioslave a few years back in 03` when they played at lollapalooza- they were absolutely incredible. Really great musicians, all of them.

i`ve never been really impressed with tom morellos since the first rage album.

every song is the same, every solo is just squeaky noise with whatever pedal he`s into that month, and is fairly uncreative.

why is it that every rage song sounds like every other rage song, and every audioslave song that chris cornell didnt write sounds like weak version of the rage song (they only have one).

yes yes, vote me down, my opinion isnt yours.

oh man I cant stand RATM; and before you say "well you`re just a stupid neo-con fascist who jacks off to Faux News" like everyother dimwitted RATM fan who spells everything with a "k" instead of a "c", I just dislike them because everything about them is annoying, from the over-enthusiastic singing, the musicianship, and overplayed message in music nowadays.

yeah i see what you mean by "overplayed" cuz they were pretty popular a long time ago and they still have a big fanbase, so generally the songs are gonna get old because lots of people still like them, and radio stations think the songs are still fresh.
i dunno how many times a song has lost its edge cuz the local station plays it every 15 minutes.
