Tom Morello Opens Up About Rage Against The Machine’s Legacy And Possible Return

In a new interview with Chicago radio station Q101, Tom Morello addressed Rage Against The Machine’s legacy while reflecting about a potential reunion in the future. Although drummer Brad Wilk stated the band would not tour or perform live ever again, Morello is more open to the idea, and remains proud of how they finished their 2022 Public Service Announcement Tour. “Rage Against The Machine was always sort of a volatile situation,” Morello says. “The fact that we got four great records, the fact that we played shows in 2022…those were some of the best Rage Against The Machine shows that we ever did. We finished with five sold-out nights at Madison Square Garden. So if there’s never another show, then that’s quite a way to go out.” Morello went on to add that he is still “carrying the torch for every one of those riffs and all of the meaning in those songs. That music matters so much to me, and what it’s about matters so much.” (NME)
