Tom Morello is perhaps one of the most underrated guitarists. His inventive guitar style is pretty amazing. Morello creates some of the most crazy hybrid riffs of rock, funk, and hip hop. He definitely was a big contributor to Rage Against The Machine's unique sound when he played with them. His marxist politics also helped make him a some what controversial musical figure as well as a fervent activist. Morello also has many different guitars with messages on them. One being his infamous "Arm The Poor" guitar, and another being his "Sendero Luminoso" guitar; a tribute to the maoist guerilla organization in Peru. After Rage Against The Machine broke up he went on with three other members of the band and one member from Soundgarden to create the band Audioslave. While Audioslave isn't a very political band (or a very great band for that matter), Morello has currently been contributing his musical abilities to the excellent political hip hop group The Coup. Him and Boots Riley (frontman for The Coup) have also announced that they are working on project titled Street Sweepers.

I love this guy, he has such a unique sound to him. Speaking of The Coup I saw them in the Summer with Les Claypool, they have a really good drummer and guitarist.

Yea, they are very good. The only rap I like is pretty much underground stuff like The Coup and Immortal Technique and Jedi Mind Tricks.

RATM basically split up. Everyone except Zack went on to form Audio Slave with the guy from Soundgarden. Zack has been saying he is working on a solo album for quite some time now and I really haven't heard anything about it though. He has been featured on some other songs with I think Dead Prez or someone.

I don't think him being a christian bothers me, because I never even knew that untill now. I just think his music really sucks, especially Audio Slave.

Kind of late on this. I heard about the reunion show and looked up tickets, but they were way to expensive. I just noticed they are going to be playing at Rock The Bells this summer in San Bernardino along with Wu-Tang, Cypress Hill, Public Enemy, Jedi Mind Tricks, Immortal Technique, and a bunch of others. I am definitely going to try and get tickets for this.
