THE NIGHTWATCHMAN (Tom Morello) "Road I Must Travel"

[nonchalant1985]

he's not a singer, his soul sings through the guitar.

stick to your calling people.

[noehsdad1]

This sucks

[darthkrauser]

@noehsdad1 zomg really?

[richardgaas]

@noehsdad1 +1

[KurtMcGowan]

Love his voice x

[Talus83]

Tom is one of the greatest guitarists ever.

[XSkullRaizerX]

Luv this song...

[mikeekorn]

i still prefer bombtrack

[detroitrocker666]

legend

[sanitydotorg]

For the love of fuck, get off the couch and do something

[V0lk]

@sanitydotorg but....my Xbox is so much fun.....

[FunkyPopeye]

God, Tom is such an underrated guitarist he's is definitely in the top 10 guitarists of all time. He can play unbelievable rock/metal and make crazy solos and noises and here he can play acoustic and classic so well. Tom dude I wanna meet you.

[chucho40432]

the arrest of 3:07 minutes was real, activist arrested by Morello and prostestar with a multitude of people for a wage increase.

[TheSaayuri]

aaaah, i love you Morello !

[mallducklard]

I really like this guy. The songs are pure.

[mallducklard]

@mallducklard 

[lunatript]

His message is good....as always. Hacker 54189 must be a producer...Keep up the good work

[655db]

Fantastic musician and an educated and very intelligent man to boot. This rotten world needs more peole like him.

[hacker54189]

i don't mean to dis the guy, but, he should not release stuff if its going to be this bad. Poor variation in arranging, and the production lacks creativity. Hey, everybody has their bad days, but somebody should have had the courage to tell him something like "hey, You're capable of better, and we're going to go after it until you nail it and its right".

[MousieAlpha]

@hacker54189 I don't think the purpose of this song was to be perfect. It was to put across a message of revolution. And man does it succeed at that!

[warez1911]

@hacker54189 Yeah i disagree. It's not necessarily how the song is made, it's the meaning of the song that matters. Some of the best music is put together poorly but it's meaning is amazing. Kinda like would you rather have justin beiber with good production but stupid lyrics or this?

[chipleader14]

@hacker54189

he is tom morello. he made amazing things that inspired a million guitar players. those days are done. right now he's just doing his thing pushing his message. if you want to hear creative stuff, listen to him in rage against the machine. you cant write a list of legendary guitar players without having this guy on it

whether you like him or his style of soloing or not, you cant deny he is a legend

[VictoriaMoe]

this song is freaking awesome!!! perfect guitar and voice!!!!

[warez1911]

anyone know where to get that wallpaper behind him?

[JUPTERLoko]

he's voice is fucking perfect .

[warez1911]

solidarity forever!

[godsizedhole]

LOL

[jannnne123]

114 people have a bullet in their head.

[vincetheham]

I LOVE HIM

[NatW432]

saw him livee :P sooo gooood :)

[WHITEZICANx]

Whoaaa there's a ninja in the background

[artistrecruit87]

@WHITEZICANx I'm sure you were joking, but just in case you weren't, that's Subcommandate Marcos from the Zapatista Revolution. If you haven't yet, you should read into him...good guy man. Peace brother.

[woodsmall1]

love it...really,really great..

[jerryskid1]

The movement will only get stronger. Goodbye teabaggers.

[isaacwest]

240p, we meet again

[006sick]

Does anyone know if Tom is christian? I'd appreciate if you answer that

[cody6890]

@006sick  no, i believe hes agnostic

[Lunarth]

@cody6890 I agree I think he is an agnostic.

[tronik40117]

he should play this at wallstreet right now and made those cops cry

[Jamsessionroom1337]

No offense to all you tom morello fans, but he's not that good.

Just saying. But does that really matter? not really. He makes good songs, but to me this isn't one of them.

[WickedBigSoxFan718]

@Jamsessionroom1337 Well, if you don't like this song, why are you on this page?

[Jamsessionroom1337]

@WickedBigSoxFan718 Because i was seeing if i was gonna like it. -_-

How else was i suppose to know that i didn't like it..

You act like everyone is already suppose to know what they like or they don't like.

Freaking kids...

[WickedBigSoxFan718]

@Jamsessionroom1337 In what way am I acting like a kid? I'm simply asking a question.

[Jamsessionroom1337]

@WickedBigSoxFan718

I already answered your question. As far as the kid thing goes, Who else reacts in this way to a comment that doesn't cater to a song a fan searched for?

"WELL IF YOU DON'T LIKE HIS STUFF, DON'T SEARCH FOR IT!"- Kids, being immature.

[WickedBigSoxFan718]

@Jamsessionroom1337 I see your point, there are alot of annoying people like that, but you should be the bigger person and ignore them. And I don't see any comments on this page that are worded like that anywhere. Besides, the only reason I'm still talking to you is because the more you respond to me, the more you are on this video, so obviously, the more it plays. I'm just tyring to get you to give it a second chance. :D

[aekevin]

nice beat :)

[emptyrainbow]

Saw him in Leeds and he was amazing!

[trebor27rob]

@emptyrainbow So true!

[FelipeEsquer]

nice song :)

[MrRoadrunner93]

Tom almost Made Rise against look like nothing thanks to his guitar solo's. :P Still both are amazing. :D

[thecowgoesmoo1000]

@MrRoadrunner93 where did you see him.. bristol??

[MrRoadrunner93]

@thecowgoesmoo1000 Yeah. Very crowded. -_-

[b1lly999]

Just say this guy live like 4 hours ago playing with Rise Against xD

[DirtehDan]

@b1lly999 Same, his solo's on ghost of tom joad was incredible.

[DarkReapersGrim]

Awesome. I seen him on a local show in my city, and the female interviewer kept marginalizing him by talking about how he came from a "privileged" background. She brung it up three different times, and each time he had a very thoughtful and convincing argument that won viewers like me over. And I love his drive for social justice.

[2304jackass]

saw him live 2 days ago live with rise against...A-W-E-S-O-M-E

[rivariad]

johnny cash is proud

[OnlyOneTreeHill8]

This was absolutely sick at Brixton last night!

[andywoobear]

Saw this yesterday it was so sick =D

[Evocatio]

@andywoobear Rise against Brixton! Epic song by Tom Morello and wesome concert in general

[achonies]

He needs more quotes from white men.

[Ingr9821]

He's Woody Guthrie, updated with a Harvard degree.

[jaimzee5482]

Amazing song and video...Love the music, love the lyrics, love the pics!

[sweturkey]

240p... we meet again >(

[GlcFlynn]

If that man makes love like he plays guitar...Oh wow.

[derpcore9]

what tom morello song isn't good?

[joecoote]

I like the way they quote Gandhi in this, when he was known for hating Black people, and protested against Black people living with Indians.

[9875a]

@joecoote You act as though the only people depicted in this video are black, which is not true at all.

[joecoote]

@9875a How? I'm just stating a known fact about Gandhi. I personally wouldn't quote somebody who hated another race that is all

[12nizzi187]

so powerful and beautiful

[MrJakeman93]

so fucking sweet last night in leeds :D WE ARE THE 99%

[OMGitsbrontetime]

He was fucking awesome last night! :P this song was AMAZING! Just makes me wanna pump a militant fist in the air and sing NA NA NA NA, NA NA NA NA!

[koliber231]

Tom was awesome last night! not many guitarists can play with their teeth! :D

[topuphere666]

awesome gig last night @rick city!!!!1

[fermerwuvu]

tonight I was at his concert..cool dude :P

[WickedBigSoxFan718]

When I die, I'm gonna hang out with Tom Morello and Jesus, but it might be hard to distinguish who's who.

[Thorshammerismine]

@WickedBigSoxFan718

I guess it'll be easy.

Cause Tom isn't a cosmic Jewish Zombie Wizard who was his own father.

[GnomesAmok]

@Thorshammerismine

Jesus was black, fool

[illstealyourthunder]

@GnomesAmok so is Tom....well half of him is

[blazestudios23]

@GnomesAmok He was a Jew so most likely he was arabic.

[CDelannois]

@WickedBigSoxFan718

Not that hard actually, Jesus can't play that well!

[bukk3t]

@WickedBigSoxFan718 nice troll comment, you luckily got the highest rated comment -- im sure that's all you were going for.

[WickedBigSoxFan718]

@bukk3t Well, 40 people enjoy my trolling.

[juozsx]

tom morello sings? :DDD

[secularokie]

"Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."-- Robert F Kennedy

[JBfan88]

I want that wallpaper.

[immikeurnot]

@JBfan88 Even though it's got two murderers on it?

[JBfan88]

@immikeurnot The money in my wallet as at least that many 'murderers' on it, so yeah, I can get over that.

[Nelsnarcotic08]

I CANT WAIT TO SEE THIS LIVE WITH RISE AGAINST IN BRIXTON :D :D

[karazeetomable]

@Nelsnarcotic08 SHUT UP NELZ YOU SHIT

[Nelsnarcotic08]

@karazeetomable

HAHAHA SHUT UP KARAZEEE T YOU COCKFACEDSHITMEISTER

[karazeetomable]

@Nelsnarcotic08 IMMA KICK YO ASS WHEN YOU COME TO THE PUB NEXT!

[Nelsnarcotic08]

@karazeetomable YO GONNA SPANK MY ASS? shit i cant complain at that ;)

[qBioniXp]

looks like akmal saleh

[AgtDaleChomsky]

hard to understand how anyone could dislike this. it's all about them.

[Ingr9821]

Honest music and the message is real.

[lucyopolis]

If this is "the soundtrack to the revolution" I am not impressed. 

[SuperPacman1993]

@lucyopolis what dont you like about it?

[STanarchyFIRE]

This a great fucking song. Brings tears to my eyes. Get off the bench and get into the game people. Occupy Wall St. NOW!!!

[BricMayco]

Tom Morello - Unless You're Bono Don't Change Styles Like Underwear

[jfoley715]

A modern day Pete Seeger, Woodie Guthrie, or Bob Dylan.

[CSLrage]

As dumb as it sounds this is helping me get through this mountain of coursework i'm doing right now that I left ridiculously late, and will probably fail, but I WILL NOT, and the road I must travel, its end I cannot see.

[ballzunhairy]

You know what i say, bring back the bulls, keep the parade.

[ballzunhairy]

Im raging against the machine that was once tom morello.

[tommyt1971]

There's a great piece on Tom in the latest ish of Rolling Stone. He even talks about being arrested at a protest... wonder if it was the same one they show around 3:05...

[BricMayco]

@tommyt1971 I have an even better peice on my site.. i hate how musicians change styles like underwear. He's not bono, he's a one trick pony. This sounds off...

[tommyt1971]

@BricMayco It does, but it still exhibits his talent. I'm not crazy about it either, I just wanna jump around to Rage!

[BricMayco]

@tommyt1971 exactly.... bring back the old tom morillo that built a career off one recycled riff and guitar effects that sound like optimus prime fucking a robotic dog!

[lumenatti]

been shooting protest stuff since the la dnc. keep up the good work

[94Cioppa]

Tom Should play at Wall Street 

[jfoley715]

@94Cioppa He played at Occupy LA, check youtube it's really cool!

[stupify6661]

Are you tired of government lies? I've started a little forum/blog/discussion website. Visit therevolutionstartsnow.webs.co­m to help fight the power and bring our failing country back to the great country it once was.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER IT'S WE THE PEOPLE!!

[VaqueroMuerte]

Occupy Wall Street! Occupy Everything!

[Slyvder]

XD i like this song!!!!!!! xD i will try to play this on a elec guitar and add overdrive :D cuz i think this song rules :D

[lizsumem3]

He's not a singer he's a poet.. hendrix was the same.

[ballzunhairy]

Maybe its best that rage dosen't do another album, Im still waiting for tom to fall off this bruce springsteen kick. He has no rage left. You cant have rage against the machine with no rage. Put up the banjo and get pissed again!!!!

[NMEGAXC]

@ballzunhairy

Did you seriously just call that a banjo?

He's still an angry guy; the lyrics have just as much meaning. Just less rap metal. You suck and your opinion is wrong.

[ballzunhairy]

@NMEGAXC

it might aswell be a damn banjo!

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. I just happen to be an asshole with a great opinion.

And if people continue to support this the next album is going to be called "Endless love in the dark" by Tommy sosoft morello. So suck it up.

[94Cioppa]

@ballzunhairy read the lyrics to this song. Then tell me Tom's got no Rage in him still

[ballzunhairy]

@94Cioppa Yeah ok! So he just channels his rage in a much softer sweet more delicate fashion. Listen to anyone of rages albums then listen to this, Its like slapping Godzilla with a fucking pillow. Don't get me wrong Im a huge fan, but i cant except any less than greatness. Because i know this music isn't where his talent is. Its funny to get a reaction from you people. Ill always stand by you tommy no matter how soft and sweet and nice and delicate that you get.

[Haassan1]

Politics..... An interest of the man who's smart, but not quite.

[CSLrage]

Beautiful :')

[SuperCorycory]

rip-off of FloggnMollys

[moediggity28]

@SuperCorycory actually they would love this

[kenneth1lian]

sounds irish hahaha

[tomrhodes1]

@kenneth1lian

I was just about to say that!

[Nosoyunperrozombie]

BORING

[Deadpool534]

he sounds like seananners :D

[monkeylx1]

I bought his new album, World Wide Rebel Songs. I must say, it is E-P-I-C. Two of his songs on there beat my previous favorite which was Whatever It Takes. The songs are Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse, and Speak and Make Lightning.

I recommend the new album. 10/10. Great messages and great beat.

[demonthief115]

How powerful is this shit?? :D

[horsebrusher]

this song must be on loop, for the end i musn't see :P

[rendros88]

Soul Power!

[NirvanaNerd364]

this is a really good song, but Tom's not the best singer but then again no one ever accused Bob Dylan of being an amazing singer.

[TheNofootcanman]

its alright but not really as good as AM! or frank turner

[justice0218]

Love Tom, amazing musician! And love this song!



[bonkers04mc]

I like it, he really has traveled some roads and known an eclectic groups of people....

[newcookiesandcream]

yeah something without effects

[mirrage04]

So much soul..

[thebrawlnbrothers]

It Is Time I Cannot See :] Na Na Naa Na Na Naaa Na Na Naaa Na Na Naaaaa Lawl

[amulius28]

I like to think of him as our generations Johnny Cash

[CRtool10000days]

@helghan0 YOU JUST HEARD OF TOM MORELLO????!?!?!! man i feel bad for you

[rendros88]

@CRtool10000days There are still people in the world who don't know who he is.

[CRtool10000days]

@rendros88 its a damn shame

[remshadows]

Tom Morello looks like he could be cousins with Pat Smear >.< 

[patcah1]

he sounds way different

[uiruu]

@patcah1 Than what?

[OhPleaseLikeYouCare]

This song makes me happy.

[cupcakekevin277]

i saw them live they opened for incubus in chicago soooo sick

[TheSCOTCHSOLACE]

Humans need more like Tom Morello - we must regain our freedom, our dignity and our life.

[tommyt1971]

@TheSCOTCHSOLACE EXACTLY!!! He & Rage make me want to join the protest on Wall St, carry a large picket sign & bash it against the wall of a greedy bank's headquarters after walking a picket line for a few hours!!

[populardonuts341]

the end i can not see and the road

must be a hundred degrees

i chose punk rock music for me, I

bunk bed with dogs and fleas

i walk in the jungle saw the tunnel

in fact was jumbo

swarm of bees

[populardonuts341]

[kh2588]

song gives me goosebumps...

[djm102]

This is so horrible. Stick to RAGE.

[diggmebaby]

@djm102 sir? , FUCK YOU!

[HowlinAdamJames]

@djm102 Rage has the same message. You just don't understand.

[BLOODELFSRULE]

@djm102 dude whats you damage



[macncheez1624]

This makes me smile. Tom Morello is very inspiring. :)

[watchthiscityfall]

@macncheez1624 Exactly! If only we all were so passionate about the same things he sings about. The world would be such a better place.

[HorrorShowHappyHour]

Fuck yes! This is excellent...a working class folksy ballad!

[omenats]

very cool ....nice departure from his other stuff....voice reminds me of Mike Ness

[villafan666]

@MrHomeslizzle I'm there too!

[bozomatt]

yeah, not huge fan of this.

[Markoh2020]

Tom Rawks...

[hxckazo]

Is that a tear in his eye around 3:36. His passion is inspiring.

[malikismaster]

i didnt know that he can sing

[BobbbyJones49]

Um, this song is extremely weak and as predictable melodically as a campfire song. Plus his voice sucks ass.

Tom- you are not a frontman

[originalmo07]

@BobbbyJones49 Not sure you get the point here.

[drvigness]

102 justin bieber fans

[SyndicalistTimes]

@MrHomeslizzle

my thoughts exactly bro, seein them on nov 8th, goin to be fucking sick. Musicians such as these give me the hope that gets me through the right-wing bullshit of everyday life.

[666prefix]

I have decided to learn how to play guitar - and i started with classic one, i' m beginner but i trying to learn this tune- it's hard as fuck but it definitely worth of all sweat

[tynoArcher]

how the fuck is it possible to not like this music omfg!

simply amazing very powerful song, congrats
