I know this is stating the obvious, but man, Tom is so fn' smart! Most guests on Strombo don't really know what to do with his odd ball deep questions and flip flopping of subjects, Tom had no problems keeping up to his questions and providing thoughtful answers. I'm not necessarily the biggest fan of rage, but I love that their support for human rights and how they have a good message with their music. You've got to respect that.
@M10663 i'm not a big muse fan ( my sister is bad singer and sings there songs all the time so she ruined that band for with the image of her sinning) but i think matt has a cool guitar but thats his down fall i have a mod guitar like him and it makes to easy to do effects and to me that takes the challenge and fun out of it
there are tons of awesome guitarists... some of which are my favorites... yet this man is THE SHIT!!!! keep sticking it to the man! Long LIVE TOM MORELLO!!!
"I was the only black kid in a white town"...i don't really see any 'black'-ness about him, he seems more middle eastern or latino if anything, but it's all esthetic in the end
Rage against the machine that gives you the opportunity to EXPRESS your beliefs, worship how you so CHOOSE and, by the way, made you a MILLIONAIRE. Your musicianship is only equalled by your hypocrisy. You should thank the so called machine.
in my country tom morello would be considered of mixed heritage, not black. anyway, that dude kicks ass both at the guitar and through spoken language.
"Sleep now in the fire" should be the song played at the funeral of those tried and convicted of bankrupting this country and trying to set up world government covertly. Also the puss-pockets that call the shots from behind the curtains and handle the puppets like Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush sr., Reagan, etc, etc. Rage Against the Machine was and is a fine band for those that are tired of big government. We as Americans better get the game together before the game gets us.
@mmantech no. rage is one of the greatest bands ever. I just thought that because he dosent look black. I knew zack was mexican his last name is dela rocha.. and I knew brad was jewish. he just dosent "look" black. im not rascist asshole i just didnt know that. so shut up.
@blackfire053 ok good your not racist!! because if you were, just listen to the lyrics and you would know that there RAGE is against racist!! but how does it "look" to be black? there isnt any monolithic way u know?
@blackfire053 dnt get angry bro. we can have healthy arguments, unless u are a right wing, facist, racist, religious nutjob. u say your not.....good!! sorry but i had to respond to all hate whether it be racism, sexism, homophobia whatever. but im glad your not a hater!! i cant say that for the rest of the people on this page.
Tear gassed countless times. I'd LOVE to see that fact-checked. Such posturing. For a socialist, he certainly is prideful. So impressed with himself.
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 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 So here you are again, spreading your capitalist do-what-i-tell-ya bullshit. Just calm the fuck down and let people have their opinions. If you don't like it, then don't comment these videos.
@OrlandoClassWar more people should. I wish we had more people like Hitler around. Then people like you and fags wouldnt exist. Their would be no niggers, no ragheads. We'd all be at peace after we killed every piece of shit like you nigger lovers
He's Italian and Irish from his mother's side, and Kenyan on his father's side. His mother founded the anti-censorship group Parents For Rock And Rap, his father was the first ambassador from Kenya to the United Nations, and his uncle, Jomo Kenyatta, was the first elected president in Kenya.
He does not sound like a tough grizzled old soldier but some kind of dandified nancy boy, who is afraid of wars and he is indubitably no sea-dog but the sort of pasty landlubber I have always despised. I'll warrant, the most exciting thing that has happened to this limpid prawn in a whole year, was the day when he forgot to put sugar in his porridge!
i dunno i'v always thought he was part black from the time i found out about rage against the machine,but before i just thought he was part african american not kenyan, also i think his dad was a kenyan ambassador or something...
They are strangely similar. Both went to Harvard. Both raised by single mothers (fathers have Kenyan roots, parents divorcing at a young age). Both went to Harvard. Both call Chicago home despite being born elsewhere.. etc :P
@8182570 i also was thinking the same - i noticed the way obama and morello talk, the inflection in their voice and sentence structure, is really quite similar.
@betterdropdatdonk yeh i kno..LOL i dnt why i let it get to me this time?! i see and hear this covert racism and hate all over youtube and i usually just feel sorry for the scumbags with hate in thier heart and move on. but since its a vid on tom and what he and what RATM stands for, i had to channel tom, zack and the guys and speak out against this crap!! u feel me tho?
@mmantech Its not racism its just weird to make assumptions on what race a person may be, then be totally wrong hahaha. I always loved Rob Schneider, I thought he was maybe half italian or a dark skinned euro because hes a funny guy, and then I found out hes half filipino due to hints and stuff from his movies and hes even more funny in my opinion. Hes a funny guy despite his race. Race doesnt mean shit. We are all people. =]
I'm curious, why in America if you are half black-half Caucasian, you're automatically considered as a black person? I've noticed this for a long time now and I've never understood why?
Here in France it's called being "métisse". The double identity is completely recognised as a full one. Tom Morello in France would not being considered as a black person (or either white), but a "métisse" (<-- both = black + Caucasian).
I was born and raised in the US and consider Tom multiracial. Some people use the term "mixed," (but people are saying that word is politically incorrect now). It really depends on who's doing the labeling.
@TruthAddic he doesnt give a fuck what you consider him!! does it make u feel better to call him multiracial than black? that way you can like him more? you make me sick!!
@mmantech Some advice for you, make sure you have some clue what the subject is about before commenting about it. And FYI, I was replying to melleEdie's question, who asked why in America if a person is half black and white, why are they are considered black. Another piece of advice, try not to take Youtube comments so personal, you'll have more fun on the internets, I promise.
It's called the "One drop rule". Basically in American society, you're either black or white, there is no in-between. Some people identified themselves are multiracial, but this is not the way the American society categorizes people in general.
Please, remember that black, and white are strongly linked to ethnicity in the US, not just appearance. So if somebody says I am black, they're usually saying that they're African American, even if they have more European features.
Yeah, tell me about it. Race in the US is a very complex issues with some many different factors involved in it that one can never really understand the whole thing.
XD yeah its been that way for a while prince,morrello,obama,corbin blue,haliey berry etc. are all counted as black by themselves and to the world the only person mixed that i dont know counts himself is slash i know tiger woods thinks he is white but he is truley only black and asian
@madhatter060 the fact that you have smart and pro-socialist in the same sentence tells me that everyone should completely disregard anything you have to say and you might as well strap a nazi swastika to your arm so everyone knows that you are a part of the reason we have a president who hasn't a damn clue as to what he is doing
haha i dont want to feel special my friend. i was just saying that more ppl need to start lisyening to more than one music genre. i dont just listen to rage against the machine. or just rock or metal. i listen to almost all genres of music. and im a big believer than music also brings ppl together. i know that theyve had alot of airplay. wut musician hasnt? thats how they get their music out there. im awake my friend. :) thanx for the comment
If one understands that socialism is not a share-the-wealth program, but is in reality a method to consolidate and control the wealth, then the seeming paradox of super-rich men promoting socialism becomes no paradox at all. Instead, it becomes logical, even the perfect tool of power-seeking megalomaniacs, Communism or more accurately, socialism, is not a movement of the downtrodden masses, but of the economic elite.- Gary Allen
Rock is as mainstream as anything. Especially Rage Against The Machine. The fact that they use distorted guitars and screamy vocals doesn't take away thousands of hours or TV & radio playtime they've had, let alone the business franchise they've set up around their genre.
I know you want to feel special and think that clinging to musical genres is the way to go about it, but at some point you're going to have to wake up.
Why the focus on "what color he is" the dude rocks so who cares! He could be purple and I wouldn't care. Well actually that would be cool but anyway just focus on the music. I know you people weren't being racist but you know it's about the music.
yup your totally right give up on every band because you listen to shitty radio music and think every band is that way yea there pretty much isnt nay bands in the entire world that stand for anything look past your norm to try some different genres out
He said he was black in the interview, also, in a Q & A with his fans, he said he had a kenyen father and a white mother. He was talking about his similarities with Obama at the time.

Why the focus on "what color he is" the dude rocks so who cares! He could be purple and I wouldn't care. Well actually that would be cool but anyway just focus on the music. I know you people weren't being racist but you know it's about the music.

I totally agree with you,man.
It's not about the color, it's about the MUSIC!!

fibbsabaddy 2 years ago

He is Half Kenyan.
TylerSK1414 2 years ago
But then why did he describe himself as "the only black kid in a white village/town" ? And are kenyans not black?
conr16 2 years ago
Because if you're half black, you're still black. His father is Kenyan. And Kenya is in Africa. Most Africans are Black.
TylerSK1414 2 years ago
If you're half-black, you may be still black as same as being half-white, you're still white.

He said he was black in the interview, also, in a Q & A with his fans, he said he had a kenyen father and a white mother. He was talking about his similarities with Obama at the time.
