  • thumbs up if you wish Mary Morello was your mum too.

  • his guitarplaying is not good :/

    

  • Is this the only man that will support the 99%? The 99.95% actually. I realize Cash is dead, but damn! Time to stand up for the people, or I'll steal and distribute your lame music, and you wont see a dime. Keep up the struggle Tom!

  • I wonder from who he got his political engagement...

  • Tom has a great voice and he can play all his instruments in various ways. I just saw him LIVE a week ago9-1-2011@ The City Winery in NYC.Man what a great performance. His voice and his music are different than what most people are used to, thats what makes him so unique. He can play one sing in so many different ways.Tom won't fall in the same trap that many other famous artists have, having to play the same song the same way over and over again. Its just not his style. Keep keepin it real Tom!

  • I feel like if his voice was better he would be really well known.

  • This song always reminds me of Mad Max

  • You and me are missing person's 'till we're counted in the streets.

  • Heh I prefer rage against the machine

  • I like Tom, he is a GREAT guitarist and musician, but this song is lame.

  • @Sommarkattt You're in a small minority thinking that.

  • well, now you know why tom is that genius and cool.

  • you people think a form of governement is the answer....that's a lie. It's human nature that's the problem, we must all strive to be better and not let greed/lust/etc. rule our lives. Corruption will always exist with power, no matter the form of government. It's the people of a nation that make it great.

  • @dwokie1 very well said. thank you ...: )

  • @dwokie1 Well said, well said my friend.

  • It's an awesome message, although I don't agree with his politics 100%....

  • Yeah! this is great... The Nightwatchman is an Idea and inspiration for revolution...

    is there any songs on Fair trade not Free Trade?

  • @shafiqpontoh What's "fair trade"?

  • I wonder what his son will be like......... FUCK YEAH

  • that's so sweet and freakin amazing at the same time! XD Yay Mrs Morello!

  • Damn, Morello's mom is awesome. I think I'm in love.

  • Tell the truth Tom..

  • his mom is the fucking cooles!!

  • she is awesome!

  • Amazing. Tom needs to make a DVD for The Nightwatchman music.

  • bob dylan schtick is pretty tired.

  • Tom Morello and his Mom r both so AWESUM

  • his mom is awsome!

  • I didn't know that the lady who introduced RATM at a festival in England I think, was Tom's mom! Now I get it where Tom got his activism from...

  • holy shit!! ive met her, i didnt know she was morellos mom!!

  • he's really into the song cause it has a good message. he gets pissed off just thinking about the words.

  • most of his songs have the same tune, just different lyrics...

    hes born to rok n roll, not folksy stuff...

    but having a nylon string acoustic live is badass in my book...

  • wow mother morello has quite a potty mouth...

    is she also the lady on the first RATM dvd, and she also introduces them?

  • yea hes an anarchist,

    i am too

  • @stratassassin Tom Morello isn't really an anarchist, he is more of a communist with anarchist leanings. He used to be a anarchist in high school and such, but as you get older you see that such a system will fail. Communism can work in many cases.

  • @crazyflame93 Communism never worked and never will, It only works for the rich and powerful!

  • @6CHRIS6ROWE6 I think if you study the life quality in countries like Cuba before and after communism you will find that it has actually gotten better. Their lives are very far from perfect, but at least the poor today get enough to live, the people who had to pay for communism is of course the rich people which made out about 20 % of the population in Cuba before communism. Will you really put those 20 % over the other 80?

  • @crazyflame93

    Study the life quality in China and Russia before and after communism...

  • @bradmanthethird Well, communism wasn't necessary in either China or Russia. I have to point out that I said communism can work in many cases, not all cases. In an ideal world Karl Marx vision could be made a reality, but this isn't an ideal world, leaders try to fuck you over, people kill for money and everyone wants more.

  • @crazyflame93

    I disagree that a marxist political structure could have any place in an ideal world, it grates too much on my ideals of individualism.

  • @bradmanthethird What I meant is that Marx vision could work in an ideal world, not that we should necessarily try it.

  • @crazyflame93

    Ah ok, a slight miscommunication. This is a point that I often have trouble getting across to communists in debates. I'm willing to concede that we may be able to make it work PERFECTLY that everyone can have the same amount of wealth and that that wealth can be substantial and that everyone can work for the whole to the best of their ability. And I still wouldn't want it because it simply kills individual self reliance.

  • @bradmanthethird you miss the point. Humans have already figured out how to survive. We can do it with relative ease - sharing everything would allow everyone to survive with relative ease. Do you think there would be nothing left to do after this? We are an evolving species, imagine the problems we could solve, the things we could invent and the spiritual awakening we could experience. It shouldn't just be for those who 'need to know'

  • @79siggy

    I'm not sure what you're an about "needing to know" and you want to create, invent and increase production than you want to steer far clear of communism. Competition breeds invention, and people will only compete if there is a significant reward. Sometimes the reward us immaterial (say a scientest invents an aids vaccine because he doesn't like to live in a world with death) but more often than not it is money (mechanic designs sweet car).

  • Высоцкий круче!!!

  • У каждой страны свой пророк ;-)

  • Wow I just got goosebumps three times in 5 seconds

  • this man is the don nigger

  • "my son, the Nightwatchman..." that's like saying "My son, Martin Luther Kinf, Jr." or "My son, Ghandi." She must be so proud to have raised such a genius

  • did you have her? is that how you know? cuz if you did... well.... that would be incredibly awesome...

  • ou idiot tom MORELLO is and was never in bilnk 182 he is in rage against the machine and was in audioslave so shut up dipshit

  • hahahaha I love it. Your thinking of Tom Delonge. The Nightwatchman is amazing by the way

  • DEMOCRATS TO WIN THE ELECTIONS!

  • Democrats winning the election is very much meaningless, granted it's somewhat refreshing from the Bush regime,but really it's a very minor change in the policy's of this country and the world. We're still stuck in a two party system, we're still stuck with coporate lobying,we're still stuck with the out of control millitary budget, we're still stuck with our tax money going to billionaire's pockets

  • Fuck both of them. It doesn't matter whether the capitalist pigs that rule your country call themselves democrats or republicans. There are only minor differences in their policies.

    Both parties are highly supported by powerful lobbies and believe me, they don't give a damn about you. A change of government still keeps the status quo active. We all need a change of the system we live in.

  • he is freaking great man, wow!

  • old ladys are allowed to say fuck?

  • lol

  • thats his mom u jerk

  • it was a joke jerk

  • Don't you think he knows that? Do you know the word 'irony'?

  • i dont mean anything against tom morello i love him hes one of the greatest guitarists ever

  • i like how tom morello changed the style of his playing.

  • Tom Morello is probably the most amazing blue collar musician ever. He never takes credit for his bands success, but just keeps on rocking. He's my new idol!

  • lol old lady says F*** ..::GO MORELLO::..

  • not just any old lady either, that's the nightwatchmama

  • Haha thats a good one chilam xD

  • reminds me of bob dylan and i love bob dylan, so this is pretty fucking good.

  • Hey, its all about taste. But what can you expect from someone at youtube, you dont know shit about music.

  • hey fuckhead, grow a brain. Do you realize that bob dylan was voted as the most influential artist of all time, beating out even the beatles.

  • I don't care if Bob Dylan was voted the most influential, it doesn't mean that he's good. Good is an opinion.

  • now thats trhe way to think

  • shut up you bucktoothed piece of shit

  • i agree with dasuprememep james

  • its an acoustic performance douche.

  • REVOLUTION!! REVOLUTION!!!!!

    This is beyond singer songwriter, I definitely felt a different, more powerful force. Maybe if he lights the axe on fire strange things will happen

  • Mary Morello is very nice person :), she has great son, my fav. guitarist. Good song...

  • his is graat guitar players what you talking

    about

  • i'm talking about his solo career , dumbass!

    and can't i have an opinion ? fuck off!!

  • fuck you with your stoopid opinion

    whit a musician like this you don't say that shit, his solo career is great music not

    crappy, listen to the other songs for exsample (until the end) that is so deep

    you don't know anything about music,you fuck off

  • ok Beethovem - you're the one who knows about music....

    kids.....

  • tom morello is ridiculous. he is one of the best guitarists of all time and has played in some of the best modern rock groups around and now this. he's really trancending genres and he's not trying to be innovative he's just expressing himself. amazing!!

  • Such a throw back to the old march and liberation type songs. I love it. I wasn't expecting a folk sound out of Morello.

  • lol it was so funny watching that 90 year old lady say:"fuck the bush administration!"

  • When you live in a Capitalist society you have to conform to some extent. Do people criticize Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn for selling their books at Barnes and Noble? People buy their books there. Rage and Morello have always been for the cause and use the system to amplify their message...oh, and Capitalism is awful...its a system where people HAVE to fail in order to succeed, and its a policy dead set on making profit over human rights.

  • Got to disagree with you partially - I'm 24 and trying to start up my own business, so I guess that makes me a capitalist. Under the right climate I believe capitalism and trade can mutually benefit people. Corporate facists taint capitalism.

    Anyway peace.

    AE911TRUTH . ORG

  • capitalism works in the theory that it mutually benefits people, but there will always be corporate facists which is why capitalism (which imo is tied in with democracy) will always end up failing the society it serves.. that said imo its a necessary evil, i'm all up for a revolution of the current system, but as of yet i can't see a better system, keep on rocking morrello, while people like him are expressing there views and freedom of speech, there is still some light in the tunnel..

  • yeah but communism works in theory and every one will benefit in it but it'd only work very small groups of people of about 30-50 but in a large group it works so well becuase the soviet union did great with that

  • Communism would work if everyone really wanted to participate in it. The reason that communism has failed time and time again is because there are selfish people on the top who lie to the working people because they should be working with them, but they didn't. Democracy screws people over the same way, just that there isn't any pretending that everyone is equal.

  • right the problem with comunism that it is really hard to make it work properly. the problem is human nature. example stalin: that wasn't comunism that was some fucking dictature. In addition it gave a bad name to it

  • Now a lot of people hear the word Communism and they associate it with dictatorship. It's actually really sad.

  • that s the problem and this is right for those who represent it. The shit about politics is that money is a monopole it s the only goal. And politicians who are honest do what they really believe in comunism can t get the power because they aren t paid so well.

    consequence world pretty much sucks

  • I'm reading the book The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. It's really good for showing the dark side of capitalism.

  • Iwont pass

  • The problem with Communism is the same problem with our current Govt.

    We are forced to put our faith in Government to do what's best for everybody.

    Don't know about you guys, but there are very few people that I actually trust, and it just so happens none of them are Politicians.

  • Dude, u have no effing idea whut you're talking about. I live in Sweden and our government was just turned blue and that's about time. The new system fits Sweden perfectly and would fit USA as well... But USA is such a fooked up nation so...

  • what the fuck are you talking about... it is not fiting sweden at all. We have been a flagship for socialism and now this reinfeldt shit... it will ruin our country. Now is the time to rage against the fucking machine!!

  • Im sick of people bashing Rage for being signed to Epic and making money. They take TONS of action, practice what they preach, and are not hypocrites. People are just judging what they don't know.

    And as far as capitalism...I dont think Rage or Morello are opposed to a nation having good GDP and having a strong economy, which thus leads to better standard of living. Rather, it seems that they are opposed to the exploitation of workers and apathy towards the poor for profit.

  • why bash capitalism? it simply means that the means of production are mostly privately held, and that the distribution of goods and services happens in a "free" market.

    to our (society's) knowledge, there does not exist a more efficient way to organize an economy.

    turns out that of all the market structures that are known to us, capitalism is the one that sucks the least...

  • So tell me, is ignorance bliss?

  • making money is capitalism ? i didn't know that... it seems that your fucking closeminded

  • haha

  • what a mom

  • ratm forever the truth capitalism sucks ass

  • ratm rules capitalism sucks

  • long live tom morello

    down with capitalism

  • coolest mom ever
