Bruce Springsteen - The Ghost Of Tom Joad w/Tom Morello 2009 (Los Angeles, CA) HQ

[erickekiseixismo]

3:33 Every time I see it, I cringe........ Perfect.

[Mikeyboyv7]

5 people cant handle the atomic bomb that Tom just dropped on us!

[mahalojay]

This is really a disappointment- Shame cuz these lyrics are really great if you read them on paper- But this is bad, melodramatic irish bar music with a bunch of inappropriate wankery over it.

[EgyedAdam]

This solo is just...WOW :D

[ChrisBriers545]

Zach De la Rocha anyday..

[spoonfed2]

That solo gives me chills.

[PerdroYouRock7]

gostei bastante do wah wah *-*

I love the wah wah the slayer show the ball mto good soil!

[guy1086]

The NIGHT WATCHMAN!!

[Tezzindomigo]

WHY DIDN'T YOU COME TO MILAN?! WHY?! God, I love those men =)

[stoeber1961]

beat all ! guitar-solos

[bluewangels]

@stoeber1961 Wasn't a solo. Two Toms on guitar. LOL

[Mutchkallala]

even though i thought, tom morellos style wouldnt suit this song, it was awesome! great solo

[littlesambora92]

Morello kinda sounds like bob dylan

[hiccup2398]

Is that Obama playing guitar with the hat and braces?

[wordapart]

No life in that solo...check Nils one...

[leibinitzk]

I love you BOSS!!

[LostInTheFlood91]

fuckin good

[Poyer1023]

E-P-I-C! WOOOOOOOOO!!

[sivichkiqt]

this solo comes from tom' s soul not from producer's idea to sell a million cd copies. maybe that's the reason some people are surprised.

[Paaulantiiis]

3 people dont know the ghost of tom joad

[quinzai]

wth.. they slaughter the song

[Dhanijel1]

That solo was pretty awful, I've heard Tom do a lot better solos.

[TheNatsu1999]

@Dhanijel1 but i had THE feeling

[bassmastah13]

don't know how but the scratch solo somehow went with the music

[teefoo007]

Tom is a fu***n legend!!

[MaggotBrain123]

Wow Morello is really into it

[gamesaddict]

needs to trim those guitar strings before he takes an eye out

[michael72986]

@gamesaddict He probably changes them daily.

[dsuchmiel]

Springsteen flat out can't sing.

[peppersdog1]

@dsuchmiel deaf cunt

[Poyer1023]

@dsuchmiel u serious dude!? Springsteen is one of the greatest singers ever!

[mightymanmonkey]

rages cover of this song is pretty terrible but toms and the tom/ springsteen version are both excellent

[ramironicolasbazan]

I really love tom morello.

[audiorage82407]

I just remembered why Morello is my favorite guitarist

[sile1991]

goosebumps..

there are no words to describe this

[XXavierTaylor]

this might b his best solo yet

[TheDavelogan]

Haha, this is up there with that Rock 'n Roll hall of fame one they did. Springsteen is one of the best live performers. He's embraced a new guitar style into his music and let it just fit right in there, it's mind blowing how well this song works with that solo, Morello is one of the most original guitar players ever.

[Ather1994]

They're playing with so much passion in it.

[platter1000]

i must say i did not like this version at first, but i warmed up to it. it rocks. i always prefered the version off of the self titled cd

[currentsnake]

what...an...amazing..SOLO!

Springsteen + Morello = Epic. Mindblowing.

[SuzzyStohelit]

@currentsnake Glad you put that into words. I've been seating here freaking speechless.

[holitipu]

why all the slagging off of bruce, the man invited the boy on and shared the stage. he himself regularly reworks his own music and would be thrilled at what ratm did with this, that doesn't  make the original a yawn, just different. re guitar playing go back and compare bruce at a similar age 1975-78, the man has had a remarkable career, credit where itys due please.

[stormrage1221]

2:27 - 2:38 = EPIC!

[D123B123]

@stormrage1221 STUNNING !!! Hendrix was the guitar god in the late 60s-early 70s; Eddie Van Halen in the late 70s-early 80s; TOM MORELLO is it in the 1990s-Y2K decade.

[lithium2370]

@D123B123 fuk van halen

[stormrage1221]

Bruce Springsteen thinks in the middle of Toms solo: "HOLY FUCK!"

[xXMiniMyaXx]

this is the best one they ever performed

[alexjamess]

man that solo blowed my mind

[spectaculartim]

is it me, or does springsteen look really stiff when he plays guitar? morello strums with a very fluid motion, but springsteen looks pretty tense in the arms. Don't get me wrong though, bruce is the man.

[xXMiniMyaXx]

@spectaculartim well, i think you would call that strength in motion-energy-emotion

[ratmrulesyou1]

aww man, he melted my face, awesome song btw

[wannabeeguitarproo]

That thing around 2:30 is frreakin hard to pull off!! :D

[captainadam1]

I was there!

[JusRam1]

Tom Morello is one of the best guitar players ever. Like Hendrix, he has very unique style. And Bruce Springsteen, he's the Boss!

[896748rhjbasgjjgankl]

@JusRam1 hes the Bowwss

[SJDinAudubon]

This is an 8 minute song. I don't know what this version is, but the real thing is MUCH better. But Sony had it taken down...

[sergiog1234]

FUCKING BEAST

[nellgit]

this kills -congrats to bruce for lettin tom morello take that fuckin ride!thats the shit -incredible!

[007JayP007]

THE SOLO ROCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Someone have a tab of this?

[Parrothead71988]

I like Nils' solos WAY better because he actually LISTENS to the music playing around him... Morello just plays as many notes as he can.

[Parrothead71988]

It is a good solo, Tom Morello is insanely talented, but I think for it to be considered a great solo it has to go along with the music... it just seems out of place here.

[CrazyRockerGuy]

awhhhh yeahhh thats what its all about

[mrderp1000]

I WAS THERE FOR THAT!! probably one of the best solos ive ever seen. Tom Morello is beast.

[SJDinAudubon]

@mrderp1000 Me too - Andit was completely unexpected. But this is not the rela 8 minute version - this was edited by somebody...

[mrderp1000]

@SJDinAudubon yeah that kinda sucks but its still good to watch this. brings back some memories :).

[MathijsBetterman]

This is sending chills down my spine. I am absolutely speechless.

[guitarristachileno]

Tom Morello is so badass.

[oblivionzones]

i like this one more because its just more lively the Bruce one is quiet and the rage against the machines one is to loud and head banging but this one is like perfect

btw: i luv to headband but it doesn't fit with the song

[AnselmoFanZero]

@oblivionzones

Way too quiete...but ok. I prefer RatM!

[Poyer1023]

I like this version, its kickass.

[SJDinAudubon]

Thanks for re-posting this, Daru. Fuck Sony Music for blocking the other versions...

I was there this night. Morello blew the roof off the dump.

[Val68505]

Yeeahh! Tom Morello is unique genius...

[217zenki]

Tom is the greatest living guitarist hands down...

[occumsrazor1]

Ow! My face just got rocked off!

[Ranteal]

Yikes. Those Tom Morello solos are cool when hes with Rage, but sound really out of place in here.

[TheJPEMTube]

@Ranteal I don't really agree, Tom solo fits completely to the song in my opinion =)

[chinchillaman1]

the best tom/bruce version was live at the rock n roll hall of fame concert

tom messed up the order of the solo

and here it sounded like a screaming cat

[Casperius2]

you think you can do better? :)

[chinchillaman1]

no but look up

bruce springsteen and tom morello ghost of tom joad-Rock and Roll hall of fame concert

that version is way better and its the original

[johneythunder32]

the solo Tom Morello did made me wanna SCREAM!

[redsoxfan23451]

.....goosebumps

[kevinnotevan]

No other word to explain this haha

this is sick...

[redsoxfan23451]

ikr. ive seen him live twice

[kevinnotevan]

sweet, youtube probably doesnt do justice then huh? lol

[redsoxfan23451]

not at all ahaha. he makes the weirdest faces into the mic but who cares he stills sounds great.

[camthebassist]

can anyone tell me what he's doing at 2:27? thats my favourite part of the solo, it sound so good! harmonics maybe?

[bramsteijn]

@camthebassist

harmonics at 12, 7, 5 i think and while he plays that he goes whit a whammy pedal through it, wich changes the notes to higher ones. you can also she him controlling the whammy with his feet

[camthebassist]

ohhh cool! thankyou!

[koko544]

@camthebassist u r a bassist????

[camthebassist]

haha yeah man

[EmoOftheMoon]

harmonics with whammy

[PPXTeam]

He is just playing harmonics very fast with the whammy pedal one octive up ;)

[united1996pop]

tom morello= <3

Really great solo !!!

[nathantmod]

jesus christ that was a long solo. good thing it was tom morrelo otherwise it might've got really boring.

[CNDigital]

that shit was crazy

[LuisRamirez666]

the 2008 version is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ?

[fern244]

The 2008 version is much better.

[Buried3030]

Bruce is an average singer at best and tom is an average guitarist, people think he's so great but its 80% the effect pedals he uses.

[DrSequoia]

@Buried3030

And you're far from average critic...

[ShotgunBlues42]

It's about presence and personality, man. You're missing something.

[Buried3030]

@ShotgunBlues42 music is about music, not presence or personality.

[ShotgunBlues42]

It's about all those things. If it was music alone, everything would be bland and boring. In every form of art, the style and personality of the artist plays an important role. Music is no exception.

[MoonlightShadowlolz]

he uses just 4 pedals: whammy, delay, flanger and wah.

[LuisRamirez666]

its not about the 80% of effect pedal he uses, it' all about your creativity to use them...

[Buried3030]

@LuisRamirez666 2:37, when your creativity sounds absolutely horrible and has no rythm or meaning whatsoever its time to consider sticking to the basics. Atleast that part of the solo was not even music.

[Storcogato]

tom is very predictable with his solos. no one can argue with that

[slapitsilly]

Bruce rocks....Tom Morello rocks...Morello playing solo in bruce song.....no rock....it sucks balls the most inappropiate solo ever.

[clownatwar]

The solo kicks in like an unexpected, unexplained seizure.

[senorkinney]

WOW

[Krehyv]

Morello definately knows his shit, but i dont like his style

[Luke139]

2:25 is nastyyyyyyyy!

[Ivan7mac]

ma impara a suonare!!!!!

[tnemiller]

By the way, I don't know what you people are smokin, but Rage Against the Machine freakin rocks. Maybe your just too old to appreciate them, who knows, don't really care.

[PinkZeppelin1000]

@tnemiller I hate when people hate them just because they think they're hip hop their music is wicked powerful and always has a meaning!

[D123B123]

@tnemiller You are right ! Bruce's (original) version of this song is a YAWNER. Rage Against the Machine took the lyrics and CRUSHES IT with their version, as you can clearly see the Morello-effect in this version.

I just flew from Minneapolis to LAX to see Rage play at the Palladium in Hollywood last Friday. Unless I see another RATM show, there will never be another musical event that compares to it !

[tnemiller]

I've seen a lot of great solos from a lot of great guitar players, but damn, that may take the cake. HOLY &^%*&!!

[MoonlightShadowlolz]

look up the 2008 version

[poggyproductions]

damn this was just....amazing.....damn...

[YoLpIsBest]

Poor that Tom can't sings but he plays guitar so good that he's one of the best around...

[CaustoVirale]

it's about the emotion, that's what makes this video so great.

[YoLpIsBest]

Yeah , but his not a good singer...

[Floydian6973]

I don't like Rage Against the Machine at all but Tom Morello is a fucking beast in this song. Absolutely incredible. He played it with Bruce at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Anniversary in Madsion Square Gardens and tore the solo apart. Probably the greatest of all the times he's played it with Bruce.

[EncoreStepUp]

your a faggot for not liking rage

[simpon]

Was they playing the same song.impressive guitar work but........

[lizardtool]

@revolutionoctave, I checked out your sponsorship vid. You need to either sterilize yourself or die violently, you have no right to comment on anything ever. Go die painfully.

[DharoksPimp]

@ Lizardtool

I totally fucking agree lol it was crap sitting through his sponsorship video...xD

[USBentley]

bruce looks extremely steroided out and extremely stiff whenever you sings or moves

[louisgitaar]

This guy is crazy, how doe's he do this!

[Jammey90]

I love Rage and Tom Morello but, fuck me, some of that solo was hard to listen to.

[sniperfish]

This solo is partially amazing, I prefer the other vid on you tube though. it's more epic sounding.

[kamielck]

indeed

[synthrock1]

Bruce is probably wishin' he could play like Tom.

[YXZ729]

tom morello shreds so much fuckin arse its unreal

[revolutionoctave]

O yeah so much lack of talent thats why they're playing in the rock and roll hall of fame.

[albacore86]

you mean the hall of has been's?? yeah, they earned that alright.

[lypofwat]

how can you say that about tom morello?

don't you know who that is?

[ricoNErd375]

how do i download this version?

[beerkat88]

i am SO SICK of seeing the same old argument on every video i watch; what 'type' of metal is this song? why is everyone obsessed with labels, and how many more types can people think of, each with a new definition?? people think they are so sophisticated, spouting out details of how this song is this type because of these rules- WTF ever! just enjoy the song or find another to listen to already!

[diagreen]

VERY MOVING.

[DrFeelgood316]

Rage is considered nu-metal (aka rap metal). They were part of the new wave of rap rock and rap metal artists.

[Jac21595921]

I agree, this is an awesome song, although I think the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concert version was much better, and much more refined. I believe with Tom Morello, as in his playing, is that he is easily bored with playing a regular guitar solo. He looks much happier when doing some crazy shit, and I couldin't agree more. He's too good.

[BigJohnWoody]

I agree that the HoF concert performance was better. The video/sound set-up was much better there, as well.

[grady8261]

yep

[popcornplaya00700]

@Jac21595921 Dude yeah the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame concert was bad ass together. But your right the verion of this song from that concert is much better. Tom Morello jammed out and did what he is best at playing sick guitar solo's.

[bmmedicated]

Commie Rock.  I'll pass!

[samsmacdaddy]

Yeah, people who care about people are commies. People who work for the rights of the working poor and the poor in general are commies. All of those on the right who constantly defend property rights are going to have a rude awakening when they die and realize they can't take it with them.

[bmmedicated]

Yeah, him and Bruce really care about the poor. Are you joking? Wake up. They are left-wing commie elite! Oh, all those COMMIES throughout history really cared so much about people: Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro, That Dirt Bad Che Guevera, etc.

[BaileMaligno]

Kid you need to study....Commie?? that is pure filter media talk...

[LeagueOfMars]

Your loss.

[shupirates35]

idk what u guys are talking about but that is sick guitar playing. Its badass n sounds awesome on this song i dont think there is anything to complain about just listen to the music.

[samwestonpotter]

If ever there was a textbook example of Tom Morello's noise-making tricks not fitting in a song, this is it. I like it in Rage songs, but here it was pretty stupid. It got better when he played actual notes.

[aholecop]

ron bennington and dave talked about this the other day .i allmost forgot how good tom morello is.

[VerZatiLe]

Morello was just raging against the harmony of the song. Simple as that. Its more complex that what it sounds like. I thought it was brilliant..

[KWNatureBoy]

Never heard Bruce with a metal guitarist....really makes this song something amazing.

[fingertap15]

Tom is not a metal guitarist... just FYI

[theycallmethefatman]

trained by batio and played in a metal band. what do you think he is?

[matenizer]

Wrong, RATM is not metal...

[alcoholman01]

its shout pop

[theycallmethefatman]

but Lock Up is.

[KWNatureBoy]

his style and the sound of which he played this song was very thrash/metal. It also depends on what your definition of metal is as well.

[MetalBassist73]

I have to say that i wish that i like when tom morello plays actual notes not just fucking around with the pickups...

[inflames625]

every just because it may not be a flat out note doesnt mean it cant be music. does it sound good? make you feel good? if so i dont see a problem. the only real problem is you.

[MetalBassist73]

look. i dont see how i am a problem if i dont like that sound as much as u do. sure i like it when he does that stuff with the pickups, i think its pretty badass. but it gets a little too out of hand sometimes and i like his solos especially when they have a lot of notes. great guitarist. where is the problem?

[inflames625]

still you.

[MetalBassist73]

how?

[thenazi420]

that was a fucking badass solo

[revolutionoctave]

Tom's guitar solo gave me chills he's so amazing!
