  • He doesn't age!! ahaha

  • tom tlks fast lol

  • He said Bush should be hung, but he is anti-death sentence? Second video with hypocrisy!

  • @xxsolidsteelxx Are you from Fox News?! Zack (de la Rocha) said that if George W. Bush were tried as a war criminal, he would be found guilty and hung. I agree.

  • Che really?

  • ive decided that if a video has an ad i'm not watching the video ever again

  • Referring to himself as black, got me confused. Is he? Tom is THE best guitar slinger ever!!

  • @sweatysven  yes he is black

  • @andresaimar2010 .no hes not bblack,hes mixed race actully.kenyan from his paternal side and irish/italian from his maternal side.

  • all true, but the truth is despite this varied ancestor he is still black regardless if he is mixed or not. A white person who has irish and other roots is still considered white, i personally don't agree with such generalizations of people but unfortunately that's something i cannot change. So you don't have to be 100% African to be labelled as black. I am sometimes placed in that category as well and i am East Indian mixed with Italian

  • morello is 100% douchebag for comparing himself to legends.

  • @777Lateralus

    it is some major douche baggery for sure, the part that irritates me is why che guevarra? is tom a mass murderer?

    oh the marxist revolutionary thing i get it clever clev..oh no it wasnt..i fucking hate his politics, but i love his music

  • @crunchyuncle Oh yes, because Batista was a much better leader for Cuba than Castro. Just because the US government supports something, doesn´t make it right. Don´t believe me, look up Vietnams colony history.

  • @intenzez

    fuck the govt, we all know the bankers and politicians are vile crooks.

    we had no reason to be in vietnam, iraq, afghanistan, and now libya..when the fuck are we going to learn not to meddle in the affairs of others. not my business anymore, cant stand the BS politics and finger pointing, fuck em all.

  • @crunchyuncle You hate his politics. But you talk like a leftist. Get a grip, man

  • @intenzez sorry man, just so damned frustrated. i was raised a republican, love my country, i just hate the fuckers in charge.

  • @intenzez im not a rep or a dem for the record. i dropped those beliefs a few years ago,.

  • @crunchyuncle neither is Morello. He has criticized them both. Rightfully so.

  • @777Lateralus he said he would like to be like them ...nothing is wrong with that...

    he never said "I AM this person or i am that.."

  • @777Lateralus your a douchebag

  • Tim Howard lol

  • If the members of rage want to raid Washington D.C, every common sense motherfucker should be right behind them with torches and shit. I'd be down for doing it. Although Bush is no longer in office, let's do it anyway.

  • @101LegendKiller Bush is still in office, he just dunked himself in brown paint and started calling himself Barack Obama.

  • @101LegendKiller Bush is still in office, he just dunked himself in brown paint and started calling himself Barack Obama.

  • he talks fast.. but he thinks twice as fast!

  • I love when he says 'we have a war criminal in the white house and yet ppl aren't rioting in the streets'... just to prove how assbackwards my country the US is... when do we get ppl rioting on the streets? When we give healthcare to the poor, thats when we get protests & the tea party & Palin, were so ass backwards

  • @ViperRob42 amen to that.

  • Tom Morello is god. There, I said it.

  • his voice even sounds smart LOL

  • never knew he went to Harvard.

  • You can see his influences from his parents whom are actvist. Tom is a brillant man to say the lest!!

  • this guy is a fucken legend! i think everyone should take a page from his book.

  • GOD damit man u should fucking unite motha fucking cunts

  • like I said--fuck tom morello!!

  • @Thejadestorm2012

  • @Thejadestorm2012 fuck you you worthless pieace of shit

  • @Thejadestorm2012 f u!!!

  • ObAma a socialist? ha ha aha ha really? R U serious? Ha ha ahaha ha he aint no socialist. What, just because he wants to change the health care system. lol

  • @Manolo1013 Well he kind of wants to be like his real father but I'm just going to let you do the research and come up with your own opinion.

  • One of the nicest guys in the world

  • Ur goverment lies to u all the time..rigging elections stopping the people from bieng free..fascism..business..is what are gov stands for..every politician ever has a business behind them..we can only elect 2 fuckin people for president..they are basically telling us who to choose..and precious business are willing to put a price on life..Morello is Dumb? no morello isnt blind..who runs ur damn news? business..its perfectly legal for them to lie to u..its not unconstitutional its been done befor

  • @tanvo93 Funny how you talk about rigging elections and fascism while we have a socialist in the White House...

  • che guevara was a butcher you dunce. this host makes brittany spears look like a genius. musicians are stupid no doubt, but as a host you might want to have a high school degree or an IQ over 90 so as to correct your moronic guest. hey morello, it's "hanged" not "hung" you uneducated dunce. smoke more pot yeah...yeah, whatever. idiots.

  • @archstan8 OK. Morello went to Harvard..u dunce..Che was a revolutionary for the better of the people bieng put down..the (majority)..there has only been one revolution were there was no blood shed..ONE..so creativity is bieng stupid? maybe u should stop trending with ur fellow peers..u should stop watching ur MTV (broadcasts the trendy view of music) the uncreative business approach..and put all faith in ur multi billion dollar politicians who (u think) is working for the will of the people

  • Comment removed

  • @disestablishme I don't think he got your message message try replying to his comment next time.

  • Tom Morello cant quit Audioslave opps I mean Rage Against The Machine :) I mean , the Nightwatchman ....Maybe he can join Chris Cornell and the rest of Velvet Revolver and Billy Corgan ? :) hahahaha THE NEW BAND : RAGE AGAINST BANDS :)~ Lead Singers: Chris Cornell, Billy Corgan Lead guitar: Tom Morello Rhythm guitar: Slash Bass guitar: Duff Mccagan Drummer: Jimmy Chamberlain R A G E A G A I N S T B A N D S
  • @jetsonic69 WTF what are you smoking dude. 1st of all Chris Cornell and Billy Corgan have nothing to do with Velvet Revolver,and 2nd of all I'm pretty sure Slash can handle lead guitar on his own thank you very much..

  • is it like a artist thing to be non conservative.. cuz i kno a shit load of people at my school who are..and too me its kinda backwards..conservatism kept us 200 years behind in technology cuz the church didnt want to believe that we are not the center of the universe

  • "being...50% Che Guevera..." So you want one half of you to execute hundreds, if not thousands of people and help create a government for an island nation that causes people to flee that place on anytthing that floats through shark infested waters?

  • @kbr7171 are you cuban?

  • @SiochainGra No, I'm not Cuban. I have spoke with several Cuban refugees who have fleed Ernesto's dream via any means possible. Some have had relatives who were murdered on orders of the Butcher of La Cabana.

  • @kbr7171 fair enough. but i think the thing people like about che is that hes the ultimate symbol of revolution. sure he's done bad shit. but i dont think he's any different than barrack obama.

  • @SiochainGra I would agrue that he's the ultimate symbol of revolution. As flawed as they were I'd much rather look to many of the founding fathers of America. Sure they owned slaves but everyone that has lived in Cuba for the past 60 years is a slave to Che and to my knowledge Thomas Jefferson never chopped the heads off of anyone who got in his idealogocal way.

  • @SiochainGra Che was also much more like the American presidents that he hated than any Che supporter would ever admit. He was an Argentine but his revolutions (or attempted revolutions) occurred in Cuba, The Congo and Bolivia. He meddled in others affairs much like Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy.

  • @kbr7171 yeah, i mean its only natural that when ure takin over and startin a new government. ure gonna be a politician. and obviously all politicians are alike. know wot i mean?

  • insipid.

  • its unfortunate this guy whom seems intelligent has such skewed views. he admires che guevara... however, che was definitely NOT revered by the cuban people. in fact, they thought he was a butcher; a new stalin. bush as much as hed like to call him a war criminal is not. mainly, because bush still abided by 90% of nato regulations. its funny the title of rage when the real enemy is the one they support... if he knew the real che and understood his values were misconstrued, he'd be alright.

  • @fleshgordon1with all due respect, just how exactly the 90% figure is calculated? and what faction of the Cuban population views Guevara as a butcher? The US's sock puppet Batista and his elite few hundred (by now few hundred thousand descendants mostly living in south FL) which fled to Dominican Rep. with @ US$1 (1949)billion? or is it the American exiles dreaming of McDiets, WalEverything, Hummers and obese moms driving SUV's

  • SO much better than American television. The host actually made conversation. with little bias, too.

  • love the interviewer almost as much as the interviewee...the guy seem really into what tom morello had to say. the interview was interesting as alway and...tom morello is correct about bush (name not worth capitalizing) as always

  • fuck tom morello is so smart

  • Hahahaha "Misquoted by Fox News (not surprisingly)" ! Love Tom, intellecualizes the instruments and music.

  • Tom Morello reminds me of a lot of misguided idiots I have known. They let their rebel-without-a-clue rage, faulty pre-suppostions, and glaring limitations guide their illogic and skewered for decision-making. In reality Tom and the others have no idea of the rank bile they are peddling as some arcane truth. By the way, he would last one hour in a Muslim country and pray to God that Bush was back in power to rescue his sorry ass.

  • @rockyracune You remind me of a lot of misguided idiots I know. They let their blind nationalism, total ignorance and xenophobia guide their illogic and skewed decision-making (yes, it's 'skewed' not 'skewered' moron, if you're going to try and show off your vocabulary at least do it right).

  • @JBfan88 Is that all you have? Poor, sap; and you didn't even get that right! You based your entire screed against me on linguistic pettiness - and misplaced pettiness at that! We are approaching the Fourth of July. Maybe you wanted me to say, "skewed," but I wanted to say, "skewered," as in YOU are skewered as a grilled shish kabob. Sorry little fella. You lose. Go back and try a battle of wits with a lesser opponent; and next time, read a person's comment with more attentiveness... moron.

  • @rockyracune Don't try to act hardcore by your keyboard. Winning an argument online is like winning the paraolympics: Even if you win, you're still retarded. (no offence to all you disabled athletes. You're awesome!)

  • @Topsipopsi I win; you lose. Sorry, little fella.

  • @rockyracune Oh no! I lost! ...Jeez get a life.

  • @Topsipopsi lol, completely agree, especially when they're the ones telling you they win.

  • I don't believe a word this clown is saying. Noose my ass. It was probably a kid prank that in his over-worked imagination he believed was instigated by the Klan. The Klan is dead and has been dead for years.

  • wow i have no idea who the host of this show is but fuck, why wasn't this guy on TRL instead of Carson Daly , like idk how to say this any better but atleast this guy isn't a fag like Carson

  • Tom give us somenew well deserved Rage.

  • What he's saying is that if George W. Bush were tried by the Nuremburg Laws, he'd be imprisoned or executed. It's simply true factually.

  • Well Tom should be happy now since we have a commie in the white house. It always amazes me how people that try to pretend to be in favor of freedom but in reality they admire people like Che, Marx and Lenin that gave their people no freedom whats so ever.

  • @scotchnjake ummm... Marx was an economist. By the way, are you a tea partier by any chance.

  • @scotchnjake dude you're a pure-bread brainwashed fuck..."IF ITS NOT CAPITALISM IT'S THE DEVIL!!" Give me a fuckin break guy, you'll c how precious this system is in the next 10 yrs

  • @011lifeAdream235

    Amen...amen.

  • Great interviewer.

  • Come On. Everybody Knows RATM

  • @GreatGrumbledook

    ..........wait, what?

  • @luekdethwish: I suggest that you read my comment again and try to figure out the meaning by yourself; it should not be too hard and anybody being able to operate a computer should be able to understand so much English!

  • @GreatGrumbledook

    how old are you? 80? Thats why i said "wait, what?" because you talk like an old fart. Get with the times, bro. If not, ah what do you care you could die any second. stupid 80 year olds on youtube who hate the new generation...

  • @luekdethwish: The only thing which connects me with the number 80 it the fact that I was born in the late 80s of the last century; while my language is the result of reading far too much Shakespeare and to be plain: The old English is like Classical Greek compared to vulgar Bible Greek, so: No way! While anyone could die and any moment: You know even children can die in an instant, therefore let the poet Euripides advice you about the proper way to live your life:

  • "Look this way! Death is a debt all mortal men must pay; Aye, there is no man living who can say If life will last him yet a single day. On, to the dark, drives Fortune; and no force Can wrest her secret nor put back her course. I have told thee now. I have taught thee. After this Eat, drink, make thyself merry. Count the bliss Of the one passing hour thine own; the rest Is Fortune's. And give honour chiefliest To our lady Cypris, giver of all joys To man."

  • @GreatGrumbledook

    .......wait, what?

  • Maybe tom morello never had a suicide bomber drive a truckload of artillary shells up his ass

  • so he doesnt play in ratm anymore?

  • they still play together time to time with no full fledged tour planed and rage are set to play  Download 2010 and have a free concert june 6 at London's Finsbury Park venue.

  • @LionsHaveMurderedMe aww. it would be awesome if they made new songs.

  • the band has stated that they are happy playing old songs and said that they still hold meaning to this day. i am sure one day they will make new tunes. but if you need new tunes try zack's other band one day as a lion and tom morello's solo act The nightwatchman and band called street sweeper social club

  • that will be intresting to see what happens.

  • he plays for audioslave now everyone from ratm went to audioslave except the singer the singer came from sound garden

  • @xSOWARDS22x dam, ratm is shitloads better than audioslave.

  • @jacobiversen1 i cant really compare the 2.

  • @jacobiversen1

    U be smokin crack Jacob Jacobson?

  • @jacobiversen1 - Rage Against The Machine was one of the best bands of the 90's. But Audioslave was actually one of my favorite bands from 00-10. RATM was more fierce, had more power and the songstructures was often more inventive. Stil dough, I'm glad to have both bands to enjoy today. Both are great bands in my book :-)

  • I was there at coachella 2007 and saw them play. I was on stage. there is a part of coachella thats behind V.I.P. but you have to have a certain kind of wrist band to get there because all the stars and artists chill there but thats where the real parting takes place. But I tend to miss the crowd so sometimes trying to be this "VIP" guy takes from the whole experience of coachella bcuz after all it is all about the people and the music and feeling that experience. its going overly commercial now

  • touche!  let the music speak for itself

  • Seeing as how groups like RATM and Axis Of Justice are against things like the Iraq War and the situation with the Immokalee workers, they couldn't be anymore pro-American. America's ideals are based on freedom and the freedom to speak out, and most of all the freedom to remove one's chains. So how can you debase their free speech as something other than treason?

  • @AeonicDesigns Sometimes it's appropriate, even patriotic to be anti-American.

  • politics is stupid all I know is I like cake....

  • @Thralllinian Here!!! Here!!! What kind of cake? hahaha

  • @Thralllinian Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

  • @Thralllinian haha

  • Tom Morello is such a boss!!!!

  • Communism's gay. Theres always some asshole within the communism who rises up and takes all the power (due to the shared nature of communism its extremely easy).

  • @Runescapesanta

    I wouldn't blame it on the sharing aspect. Its the whole thing about "dictatorship of the proletariat" marx wrote about. Not to mention the whole thing about a temporary dictatorship @ the start of the revolution, for some reason the dictators never want to pass the tourch.

  • that messed up!

  • ex member?

  • this is interview is from 2007 before they started touring regularly again.

  • Brovo tom!

  • I LEIK TEH POLITIZ

  • communism isnt anti human you ignorant fuckwit.

  • Do you wish to have a philosophical argument. If so, I will happily destroy any argument you have for communism.

    Though I love RATM's music and their anti-establishment views, I differ with their pro-socialist views. Any communal system that doesn't celebrate individualism and support individual freedom is anti-human. There is no collective body or collective mind, therefore there should be no collective wealth. Individuals should be rewarded for individual accomplishment.

  • @CarbineKingClassic I completely agree. What most liberals don't understand is what gives corporations their power; and its the central bank that deficit finances our government, which allows our government to reward corporate lobbyists, pay for unconstitutional wars and programs without directly taxing the people, which in turn distorts prices and competition. And your 110% right about individualism; because without individualism there is no collectivism.

  • chill, name me ONE country that it has worked? (and don't say ancient sparta)

  • Communism can never really exist, not true communism anyway. It's physically impossible for the public to share everything. And yes, communism is where the PUBLIC owns everything, not the GOVERNMENT.

  • watch?v=Ua7br2ge4J4

    Rage against the machine mix!

  • y are these coments soo big

  • democracy would work if people voted for legit reasons and not based on political party. The US needs to reset the government and get rid of every person that is currently elected in an seat in office and reelect without parties. that wont ever happen because this country is run by corrupt pigs more concerned with self gain and not about the people they were put in charge of helping and protecting.

  • @bass11player91

    it has come to a point where voting isn't enough. Obama had clear convictions going in. Yet has to play this game once inside the door. Compromises are inevitable. Republican or Democrat... Corporations own them all. We must be activists.

  • SAVE THE WORLD!!!!!!!!

  • He went to Harvard???? Wow......

  • aww man i didnt know tom went to harvard thats sick!

  • Yeah right! Everything he touches he's fucked up so far! He is destroying capitalism. If his goal is TO WRECK the American economy , What would he be doing different? The "un employment checks have leveled off" because they dont count the people who have ran out of it.

  • Dude, the second there were the "Rich" and the "Poor" every society got fucked up. If the America completely goes down the drain, although unfair to the average person, it would serve our selfish "leaders" right because of the crimes they've committed.

  • Then you wake up and put our leaders down the drain instead of Americas average people. The average person has no fuckin clue what is going on because they are dumbed down by bullshit rockstars that think they know is good for you. You couldnt get near Tommy's house without the cops up your ass in his hood. Ya think he flys coach? not.

  • There's only so much a teenager can do man...

  • Tom went to harvard... holy shit

  • Hey, I forgot to tell you guys. Kanye West interrupted Patrick Swayze's funeral..... He said Micheal Jacksons was better.

  • bah blah blah, play guitar and shut up im bored

  • I love Tom's music, but I don't agree with his political views! But that's just me!

  • It's sad how we all hate each other because we have idiots in our countries to the point where we generalize each other. Like the obnoxious/ racist / judgemental U.S. citizen. Guys, think before saying otherwise you arn't better than the idiot you're talking about.

  • cuba is communist and why does it say ex member?there on a reunion

  • No it's not, and you've got to remember this was in 2007.

  • I'd call it more state capitalist, not communist. A communist society is inherently stateless, so the fact that there is even a Cuban state contradicts what it means to be communist, also there's private property in Cuba and classes.

  • last i checked cuba was communist

  • cuba's not communist?are you retarded

  • No I'd say I'm more educated on the matter than you are.

  • ok if that's what you think

  • It's what I know. Cuba is in no way a communist society.

  • cuz you dont live there asshole. Your a brat from usa, communism is story book to you cuz you been spoiled for so long. tool

  • dont put all of us that are good in the U.S. in the same catigory as the bad! Believe it or not, most of us are a whole lot better than the people you know and hear about. And there are tons of people that worked to get to where they are. We are anything but spoiled.

  • stop being a whiney cunt. Just cuz you read it wrong doesnt mean you jump my shit. People in USA ARE spoiled cuz they dont have to really know what "bad guys wanting to kill your ass" really are. except in a movie.

  • Cuba is so communist. Are you stupid? But I guess its Americas fault they live the way they do. Why do they drive 50's cars and stand in line for new underwear once a year? If they were free people why dont they trade with Germans or Japanese? THEY CANT CUZ THE ARE UNDER COMMUNISM. ASS! Cuba is an island and the people there are not allowed to FISH for their own food! Wake up douche

  • Well apparently someone has no idea was communism is. Cuba is a dictatorship, in communism there would be no dictator. Cuba is a State, if it was a communist society there wouldn't be one. In Cuba there are classes.

  • ok, so what you are saying is there is no "ruler" or chief dickhead in a communist country? The people live by communistic standards all by themselves without being told too. Ever hear of Stalin assfuck? What do you think he was just a popular guy? SAME THING! Cuba is a state of Communism! Shoot your dumbass opinions in Cuba, see how long it is before you are put to sleep. fuckin dolt!

  • The USSR wasn't communist either, Cuba is not communist, read up on what communism fucking is, or just shut the fuck up you ignorant son of a bitch.

  • Russia not communist? Are you serious? I guess now you are going to tell me Hitler wasnt a Nazi. Maybe he was just misunderstood? You wreak of public school. Oh yeah and I'm the ignorant one. right thanx. And how do you know my mom?

  • I wreak of public school? In public school they teach you the USSR was communist. Have you ever read about communism before? And I mean the communist theory, from people like Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky, Luxembourg? I think I'm a little more educated on the matter than you are(I mean if you think Cuba is communist! Did you hear they started privitizing farm land, how would they be communist if they're privitizing shit?)

  • You're a fool, you communist liberal.

  • Okay tell me how I'm a fool please or shut the fuck up.

  • Well I feel like you're a fool, because even though you're correct that USSR/Cuba were not truly communist, you should still know that communism is bad; you cannot take away people's rights and profit motive, and expect that you're going to have a happy or productive country. (No, "altruism" is not a sufficient motive to work. The prospect of monetary gain or loss is the natural incentive to work. But, communism is against the nature of reality, so maybe it's a moot point.)

  • Lol this is the most used argument against communism but it is one of the stupidest. Profit motive is not even the best motive, it feels much better to give than to take. And profit in and of itself is just the surplus value of others' labor, which is exploited by the wage system which doesn't pay you what your labor is really worth. The supposed labor they commit to is not actually labor for it does not create any objective product with a use-value and exchange value.

  • What you said about money reminds me of a famous quote by Marx:

    Bring paper money into a country where this use of paper is unknown, and everyone will laugh at your subjective imagination.

  • Privatizing farms don't mean shit. Liberals are so godamn stupid and believe they are fuckin geniuses. YOU obviously prove over and over you have no idea what Communism is. If obama gets a 2nd term, you will find out for real.

  • It actually does, the abolition of private property is probably the biggest goal of communism, if there is private property there is no communism. I don't properly fit the description of a liberal though, and if you don't think privitizing farms is big in a communist society then you obviously have no fucking idea of what communism is and isn't. I can tell you Obama is way far from being a communist, I mean all day long he tries to put some life back into capitalism, not trying to destroy it.

  • yeah, thers pro's and cons to communism, but i believe hard working people deserve monetary rewards etc

  • Hard work doesn't deserve any rewards. Creating value for people deserves rewards. If I spend all night digging a big hole in my backyard, should I get rewarded? I worked hard! But I don't deserve a thing from anybody. Only the man who creates value for others deserves to get anything.

  • im not talking about digging holes , that just takes physical strength, im referring to people who spend years working hard studying in college!! and have studied there arse off to become a doctor / lawyer etc, do you think somebody who leaves school early and spends their time in the pub drinking or in a casino deserves the same income?? id be very suprised if you did, thats what im talking about, and to ''create value'' usually means a great deal of effort, generally

  • None of that answers my point, which you seem to have missed. If someone works for years in college, they only "deserve rewards" for the value they create for other people. If the guy in the pub finds a way to create value for others, and the college guy does not, then who deserves rewards? And anyway, a capitalist doesn't see it as "rewards." He sees it as just payment for the value he provided. It's immature to want and expect "rewards."

  • @DominicMetal1979 At least you got a big hole!

  • @Pellerrris And that should be your only "reward."

  • @DominicMetal1979 The real question is: Should someone else be able to steal the value that you created through your own hard work? Because that's exactly how profit is generated in a capitalist economy.

  • @termsofusepolice You're either lying or missing understanding. I was going to explain it to you (and I still could, if you are sincere or genuine, which I doubt), but since the probability is you are not interested in rational thinking or the truth, I won't waste my time.

    I probably should explain it, for the other people who are reading, but if someone were honest they most likely would already be a capitalist. So it's usually moot.

  • @DominicMetal1979 Maybe you are confused by the question. Here is a scenario. Bob says he'll pay you $30 per hour to dig a drainage trench in his backyard. You agree. Then you offer Jose, a guy looking for work in a Walmart parking, $7 per hour to dig a trench. Four hours later, Jose has the trench dug. Bob pays you. You pocket $92 and give Jose $28. Did you steal the value created by Jose's hard work?
