Tom Morello Accidentally Tackled After Fan Rushes Stage at Rage Against the Machine Show
Tom Morello narrowly escaped a serious injury when he was accidentally tackled during a Rage Against the Machine show in Toronto last night (July 23). The incident occurred after a fan rushed the stage during “Killing In the Name.” A security guard attempted to intercept the fan but instead tackled Morello, who fell off stage. Zack de la Rocha stopped the show to make sure his bandmate was okay, and Morello quickly sprang back up, still armed with his guitar. See it all go down below.

Tom Morello Covers Tom Waits With X Ambassadors’ Sam Harris
Spotify Singles has recently been trotting out a bunch of interesting covers and collaborations. The latest comes from Tom Morello, who joined forces with X Ambassadors singer Sam Harris to take on Tom Waits’ “Come on Up to the House.” The song is the B-side to a version of Morello’s “Raising Hell” from his Atlas Underground album. That volume (the second of 2021) was released in December. “Raising Hell” was sung by Ben Harper. Harris appeared on the second Atlas Underground album as well. Last year, Morello spoke with us about the inspiration for making two Atlas Underground albums. He described how Kanye West inspired him to record tracks on his phone and send them out around the world. He collaborated with the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Eddie Vedder, Chris Stapleton, grandson, and many...
Tom Morello and the Miraculous Love Kids Unveil New Video For ‘God Help Us All’
Members of the nonprofit, The Miraculous Love Kids, released a new video performing the Tom Morello-written song, “God Help Us All.” The new song commemorates six months since the U.S. withdrew its troops from Afghanistan and the country fell to the Taliban. The video features a number of musicians in addition to Morello including drummer Nandi Bushell, Julien Baker, Serj Tankian, Cass McCombs, Aaron Lee Tasjan, and Nils Lofgren. Before the U.S. withdrawal on August 15, 2021, The Miraculous Love Kids was Afghanistan’s only school of music where girls and young women could participate and learn how to play the guitar. In the immediate aftermath of the fall, the nonprofit said in a statement: “Today, our lives are in great danger as the success we achieved in becoming part of an internationa...

Tom Morello, Kathleen Hanna, Deerhoof Sign Petition Against Amazon Palm Scanners
A recent open letter by the nonprofit Fight For The Future is urging music venues to halt the implementation of Amazon palm scanners and similar types of ID. Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello and Bikini Kill’s Kathleen Hanna are two of many against the use of these new ticket and entry alternatives, which are vulnerable to hacking in the cloud, its data could be targeted by law enforcement, and make marginalized groups more vulnerable, the letter argues. The letter calls specifically on the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado to end its use of palm scanning. “Palm scans and other forms of biometric data collection, like facial recognition, are tools of state violence,” Siena Mann, campaign manager for the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition, said in a press release. “Once the...

Tom Morello Learned to Adapt and Thrive on New Atlas Underground LP
It all started at a cemetery. To kick off 2014, Tom Morello filled in for Stevie Van Zandt in the E Street Band on Bruce Springsteen’s Africa/South Pacific tour. During a night off in Perth, Morello wandered from the hotel to pay his respects to late AC/DC singer Bon Scott by visiting his gravesite. When he got back to the hotel, Morello found Springsteen sitting at the bar, so he asked the Boss if he thought AC/DC and the E Street Band overlapped. “‘I never really thought about that before, but I’ll think about it tonight,’” Morello recalls him saying. Soon thereafter, Morello’s suggestion trickled into the band’s soundcheck, with the group rehearsing “Highway to Hell.” Fast forward to a couple of weeks later at a Melbourne show, where Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder happened to be in attendance...
Watch Nandi Bushell, Roman Morello Rock Out With Greta Thunberg on ‘The Children Will Rise Up’
Nandi Bushell, the 11-year-old drumming virtuoso, teamed up with 10-year-old guitarist Roman Morello (son of Tom), for a raucous anthem they co-wrote together about saving the planet before “it’s too late,” as Bushell sings. “The Children Will Rise Up” video is bookended by Jack Black, who gives his primordial devil-horned salute to the young rockers. Morello senior also shows up like a galactic deity, mouthing “That’s my son!” during Roman’s epic guitar solo. Even climate activist Greta Thunberg appears. Her brief, Leia Organa-esque cameo echoes Bushell’s message to “rise up” and insist governments around the world take action to fight climate change. “While I’m not old enough to vote, I can bring awareness to this problem,” said Bushell at the end of the video. “I hope this song emp...

Tom Morello dropped a third single “Let’s Get The Party Started” featuring Bring Me the Horizon off his upcoming record. “Alright, you motherfuckers,” is how Morello starts the party.
