Free Speech + Other Dirty Words: Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine)
HTML-код

- “I think there’s only two positions on freedom of speech: You’re for it or you’re against it.”
As the lead guitarist for legendary bands like Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave, and Prophets of Rage, Tom Morello pushes the boundaries of what is possible with a guitar, blending rock, metal, punk, and hip-hop into a unique and captivating sound.
But it's not just Morello's musical talent that earns him a place in the pantheon of musical greats - he's also a passionate advocate for free speech.
“Free Speech + Other Dirty Words” is a partnership between the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) and SPIN to showcase iconic artists sharing their stories about freedom of speech, self-expression, and the barriers they crossed to avoid censorship.

Honestly my favorite rock band of all time and I've never heard him speak but the message was always clear
Agree!
Yes!! Great interview. Very lucky to see Rage this past summer on their amazing tour. 5 sold out shows at the Garden. So fn good! Mr. Morello has always been a fave.
Twas an awesome tour fr...Though I was disappointed that the rest of Buffalo was not very familiar with RTJ. But i hollered as loud as I could for them.
There is no one like Tom. Talented rocker and a freedom fighter.
Wut??? Are u that dumbed down? They are anti-freedom
I’d love to interview both of you
I enjoyed this story!!
Thanks! It was a great one to work on!
Rage Against Censorship!

I have identified as "ACE unless your Tom Morello" for about 15 years now.
Jo Jorgensen is from Libertyville, Illinois
Tom is an American treasure.
Yeah...no, he's not.
You lefties and your heros.... Laughable.
Tomorrow Morello- the man for the Machine.
OKkkkkkk
Tomorrow rages for the people invoking censorship
Wow... This guy, whomever he is, seems to be REALLY angry about, like, "The System" 😅❤
whomever he is.... wow.... you lived in a hole? Under a stone? RATM will probably schock you
They should have interviewed Jmaes Hetfield instead:
Independence limited
Freedom of choice
Choice is made for you, my friend
Freedom of speech
Speech is words that they will bend
Freedom with their exception
More episodes to come.
This is just the first episode and Metallica is my favorite band of all time.
Too bad they left their values and virtue back in the 90s.
@@nobodynoone2500 how so, not listened to morellos other music?
No evidence here that he supports the free speech of those he disagrees with.
Rage Against commies?
Tom Morello talks about how "anti-establishment" he is , , , while he has $37 million in his bank account.
and..............he Rages FOR the War Machine and Big Pharma.
You his accountant?
Shock value does not promote change. I'm not one to promote censorship, but bragging about using your freedom of expression to make people who paid for a concert see your naked body instead is just stupid. Making your opponents mad just for the sake of it does not make your position look attractive. Even most people today are fine with protests, but they draw the line at protestors making fools out of themselves.
Worked for the pistols as people are still talking about them today
@@gizmotv9320 What works is not necessarily what is right.
While shock value may not always be the most effective means of promoting change, it can be a powerful tool to grab people's attention and raise awareness about important issues that may otherwise be ignored or overlooked. Moreover, art is not always intended to be entertaining, and the use of nudity or other provocative imagery can serve as a means of subverting societal norms and challenging oppressive structures. Just because some artists entertain doesn't make them entertainers.
@@KrashKarma what change??? This band is all about the machine
@@gizmotv9320The Pistols never took the stage naked.
Rage against the machine...isn't that the band that used to be against the system but now promotes vaccines for big pharma?
They were never against the system… they have literally only defended the system since its inception
you should hope people only remember you as the guy who got in the all-time A leaguer, Randy Rhoads, into the RNRHOF or the guitarist in that band with Chris Cornell....
RATM are B leaguers
what tf am i missing?? Spin sponsored along with FIRE AND Tom Morello??
HUHHHHH???? oh i gotta hear this out.
cuz 5 minutes ago i NEVER woulda seen this happening.

ahhhhh.... ok so this was more a 'hey Tom tell us about some instances of censorship in ur bands past'
versus a
'Tom Morello is scared about the direction in modern day censorship' cuz i dont think he is.
especially with the 'whenever someone is protecting the kids, behind it is an authoritarian jackass'.
not always bro. maybe most the times, but not always.
