Tom Morello Fan First Podcast: Atlas Underground Fire, RATM Tour Bus, Chris Cornell & More

Tom Morello dives deep into his personal journey as a fan and a musician — from the albums that inspired him to first pick up guitar to the experience of working with two of the greatest vocalists of all time, Zack de la Rocha (in Rage Against the Machine) and Chris Cornell (in Audioslave). He also discusses how Soundgarden changed rock & roll, what was on the stereo in the RATM tour bus, how he invented a new guitar language, what flipped his hate of electronic music into love, and the dark story of his new ’Atlas Underground Fire’ LP, out this Friday October 15th.
