Watch Tom Morello’s 12-Year-Old Shred This Rage Against The Machine Song
Tom Morello shared a video of his son, Roman, playing Rage Against The Machine's 1992 song 'Killing in the Name'
Tom Morello's 12-year-old son Roman is awing Rage Against The Machine fans with his rendition of their 1992 song "Killing in the Name."
Morello shared a clip on the moment on his Instagram on Saturday, writing, "Upon our Rock n Roll Hall of Fame induction I’d like to say THANK YOU to all the #RATM fans who over the course of 30+ years have been the heart and soul of the music."
The accompanying clip is "one of my favorite memories," Morello writes. His son, Roman, became a fan of the Rage Against the Machine on tour and plays the song on the same 1982 Fender Sendero Luminoso Telecaster that his father used on the original song alongside bandmates Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk. The video shows them playing "Killing in the Name" at a soundcheck in an empty arena in 2022.
"I have such love and gratitude and appreciation for all our fans who continue to be an inspiration, generation after generation," Morello concluded.
Earlier this year, Morello told Rolling Stone that he's been "very inspired" by Roman. "I've been relegated to being the rhythm guitar player in my family now because my 11-year-old can shred circles around me," he said in the feature. "I've been inspired by him. He’s been writing some riffs, and I've been writing some riffs. It’s been fun."
Morello's bandmate, Zack de la Rocha, skipped Friday's Hall of Fame induction to attend a Washington, D.C. march calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
