Tom Morello - The Fabled City

[NerevarRebornAgain]

I too suspect that if one would take the chanse, that the rest would follow, blindly

[superjauregui1]

I have like every song he made on my ipod

[vierdiez]

I just love how an authentic guitar hero sits and strums an acoustic guitar.

[isapippi]

rage against the machine is the worst band ever

[stigler30]

@isapippi I guess you've never heard of the likes of Metallica, Nickleback, Guns n' Roses or Creed.

[TheV3warrior]

@isapippi DOUCHER!!!! FUCK YOU!!!

[isapippi]

@TheV3warrior Watch my respond fucking retard

[mp3piratesavvy]

@isapippi dude, you have avenged sevenfold and 30 seconds to mars on your youtube channel. RATM eats them for breakfest, shits them out, then feeds that shit to all the other pussy ass bands you listen to

[MrJoez35]

@isapippi You are one of those people who likes gay bands like green day.Open your eyes and stop critisizin great bands like rage against the machine

[isapippi]

@MrJoez35 Watch my response, jeebus, what a bunch with freaking haters

[misterbuckethead]

@isapippi lol slipknot fans

[isapippi]

@misterbuckethead I lost a family member the day i wrote that fucking comment, man youtube is full of haters, read one of my responses, i am sorry for posting that negative comment. jeebus

[MartyFriedmanRulez66]

@isapippi HA send me a sample of your band ( The Troller Express) doing better you five year old douchebag

[isapippi]

@MartyFriedmanRulez66 Hey hey heey :) You see there is a problem there, i am not five years old, and really did i say i could do better? No i never did, but i am a great fan of Morello, too bad he is wasting his talent on a band like that, the only metal band with rap that is actually good, is Linkin Park(In my opinion) I find bands like, Radiohead, Avenged Sevenfold, Slipknot, Metallica, Johhny cash etc. much better, and i understand my comment upsets RATM fans, i am sorry, but i was mad then.

[MartyFriedmanRulez66]

@isapippi well see that's where the opinion thing comes in cuz I think Radiohead, avenged sevenfold and slipknot (accept for jim root ) is garbage and metallica has always been too mainstream for my tastes, I think linkin park can't rap, although I do like them, johnny cash is ok, idm voicing your opinion, but RATM the worst band ever, I can understand your pissed of but why take it out on people whose job is to entertain us and make us happy lol take it out on who pissed you off :P

[801Current]

@isapippi First of all linkin park is a piece of shit, they don't have half the skill, energy, or talent rage had in a single song. Second of all you're a douche and no one cares you lost a family member the day you wrote that ignorant comment.

[Lastlegend92]

What tuning is this on the guitar, I mean I play same chords but sounds different.

[ShadowCygnus]

Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb

[Lastlegend92]

@ShadowCygnus ok thank you very much:D

[meteora8423]

oo yea Tom, represent LIBERTYVILLE!! a great song from a great individual!

[troppolocco]

omg shut the fuck up with all this bullshit trying to tell everyone else what you think hes trying to say we dont care wat you think

and songs usually neva have one meaning its all up to the people that listen to it to decided what he means even if the person saying otherwise is morello himself

[Hentay4Life]

lol lol lol "live in the current studio" it's live but is only for the studio people XD

5 stars :D

[lougyful]

moyen

[Edthump]

this man is amazing, but he can get more attention and energy in his music, and make people get overjoyed at live concerts by doing one thing... working with Zack De La Rocha, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk to form a supergroup = Rage Against The Machine

[mattfreaknparker]

OMG MAN THAT WAS DEEP!

[ZeliZeleny]

Thanks to all for explainations, now I'm little wiser again:)

[ZeliZeleny]

Maybe someone here will help me. I'd like to know what exactly are Tom's "controverse political opinions." I've seen somethink like he's fighting for peace,human rights and economical justice (how?!), I've heread that he's a communist... I like his Night watchman music too, but to be honest, I don't understand the lyrics. I'm really confused. Can someone here give me explaination?

[therebelwaltz]

Zeli: he's a member of the IWW (Industrial Workers of the World). Look them up. He flies their flag at Nightwatchmen concerts.

[ruderevival]

heres a quote "America touts itself as the land of the free, but the number one freedom that you and I have is the freedom to enter into a subservient role in the workplace. Once you exercise this freedom youve lost all control over what you do, what is produced, and how it is produced. And in the end, the product doesnt belong to you. The only way you can avoid bosses and jobs is if you dont care about making a living. Which leads to the second freedom: the freedom to starve"- tom morello

[petescurvy]

The lyrics are very plain. Go back to school and read learn some english.

[ZeliZeleny]

Heh. I didn't mean I can read the lyrics, I mean I cant understand what they are about :) I know very little about politics and I was just interested what Tom sings about, that's the thing. My english isn't perfect and I know it, but I'm not that kind of person who would worry because of some guy who is trying to drag me down because of his bad mood or something:) Go out and make some friends :)

[petescurvy]

Again, they (the lyrics) are pretty straight forward.

I am not trying to bring you down. i m saying that you shouldn't twist your head around to much and over deduct the lyrics.

[ExpectResistance66]

Go back to school?... he went to fucking Harvard University. And it doesn't matter if his lyrics are "plain" they have a point, a purpose and retain more power than what you could ever write.

[mattfoley59]

the lyrics to this song suggest the story of an immigrant not allowed into the country, most likely from mexico. It doesn't really give away his personal convictions, but i would say he supports immigrants.

[dragnmastr521]

not necessarily illegal immigration that he supports, he just doesn't support the way the government treats the immigrants the way they do. the USA wants the outside world to believe we're some sort of haven for the lower class and we can change people's lives, but when they finally come to our country, we deny them that life. That's what this song's about basically.

[mattfoley59]

absolutely! basically what i meant only rendered more clearly.

[halifaxskater]

unstopable.

[WhoKilledCallo]

hahaha, hes so awesome. but this is the same melody as all his other acoustic songs. still an awesome song tho

[wesselklooster]

nothing more beautifull than a spanish guitar.

[petescurvy]

Spanish?

Not entirely corrct. It's just a regular accoustic.

Doesn't make it any less beautiful though.

[sixstring1995]

yea your thinking of a nylon string guitar, but yes it is very cool and beutiful

[cnmaster01]

techinically he's right though spanish guitar is the technical name of standard fretted guitars.

[Gman288]

Well, It's a classical style acoustic, which is associated with Spanish guitar, so he is right but in semantics, wrong. Either way. This song is amazing. Even better live.

[elreffe]

Does it even matter?

[Gman288]

To the people responding, yes it does.

[benmulroe999]

he is just the greatest legend to live tbh (=

[wesselklooster]

ahum... let me tell you this: YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE sir.

[sagejosh]

mainly cus there is no solo in his song....he just kinda made it up on the spot

[denonuhan]

wuahahah....that`s the truth :D he`s a living legend....pls come to the zagreb(croatia) or Sarajevo (Bosnia&Herzegowina)

[ballsAholic]

He's such a talented musician.

I bet he could play the flute with his butthole.

[girl1akai]

Are you fucking serious!?

You probably know fuck all about Tom Morello, what he stands for or what this song is about.

So run along and put your stupid little comments elsewhere.

[sagejosh]

says the dude with a list of favorites gayer then the village people.

[187MUSK]

THIS IS THE BEST SONG ON HIS ABLUM!!!!!

[eastermanchester]

wow, this solo stuff is seminal, theres a slight leonard cohen and tom waites vibe. how many solo albums has he done?

[evilempire4]

2. 'the fabled city' and 'one man revolution'

[javert12345]

I've been listening to rage and tom for a while now. More so than Cohen, or Waits, he reminds me of Michael Gira from the swans, or the Magnetic fields. Either way, it's good shit.

[jimmyjack321]

sounds like jack black a little

[IMFagentSamFisher]

Really good...similar melody to "Until the End." Beautiful lyrics and great acoustic guitar work.

[thePawn360]

These songs which Morello sings, u can see that he has so calm voice, like nothing else matters, everything is gone, u know what i mean.. i mean its so great just lisen, so calm an awesome, everything fades out

[elementality4me]

yea its calm yet powerful... its sick 2 fall asleep 2... but at times its a little too loud = / o well

[Blackstraberry]

can anyone tell me the chourds? i only see a Am C and maybe a G

[thesteve120]

those are pretty much the only chords

[LayneFan27]

I agree with Buyandsee, i think Tom is awesome, but i can't say I like this solo work hes doing. Not to offend anyone, its just my opinion.

[necromx]

Everyone talking shit if you listen to the RATM lyrics they are very similar with similar folk type lyrics just RATM had heavy music to go with them. If the only reason you listen to RATM is the music and don't listen to what the lyrics mean then you are missing the point of their music.

[rabinastian]

i like it, and NO, not enough ppl do know about the stuff in the world, it needs to be brought to thier attention.

[Buyandsee]

see i dont know, am i the only one who finds his solo work lame? I mean I try to enjoy it but its just so mediocre.

[nickypeeps]

its like he's trying to use his already established fame to revive the rambling folk hero, but what is there left to fight against? everyone who doesn't know about the atrocities still left in the world are too busy playing with their iPhones

[Dillbob1]

you just hit it, he wants to get those people active in the world. thats what he did in RATM. it was their whole purpose.

[1nbut0ut]

awsome!!

[illidanwashere772]

ive seen the fabled city!

[illidanwashere772]

super cool song

[Mikepatton89]

Fuck you gringo go to eat shit.

[Penn666]

Do you know what poser means? I'm not insulting you I just want to know.

If you dont like the song, then fair enought its not everyones cup of tea. If you want a new RATM album then we agree.}

But its not poser music, thats Green days job.

[JL93]

great song

[mastertomi8]

what's the strumming pattern? ...btw awesome song!

[crsanchez70]

Marvelous song

[8182570]

God Bless you Tom Morello!!!

He's my favorite musician <3

[JBchillax08]

this wudda sounded better on steel string

[JBchillax08]

nonetheless, a great song...

[Mikepatton89]

What a fucking stupid shitty music, he need to do a new RATM album, no this poser music, lol.

[Tonitesnightmare]

Dude you're a fucking moron, get over yourself. Be happy hes making music. now go pull your head out of your ass and piss off.

[wesselenjort]

hey... i like you!

[wesselenjort]

how dare you, ASS fucking HOLE!

[Colin1911]

sounds like this song is about immigration

[dragnmastr521]

Iono why u got thumbs down on the comment, cuz its probably true. If you read the lyrics, it sounds just like what you're sayin'.

[GreggAspite1223]

im buyin this cd

[postsimpli]

gay

[awwakas]

I think you're gay... And you're not someone important to say this...

[sabbatron5]

this song inspires me...great music,check my material out if you get the chance sir 5 stars

[akrech]

Great show yesterday
