Does anyone know how Tom Morello (RATM, Audioslave) uses the toggle switch to create the tremelo effect? I mean, I know he turns down the volume of one pickup and then just flicks the pickup switch. But how does he actually play the notes? Is he just using hammer-ons and pull-offs? If so, his tone must give him amazing sustain.

hehe... Reformed; When I was looking at "Who's Online" I saw you replying to this post and was expecting you to post something like how Mr. Morello is over-rated, like our debate about Tool. At least we see eye to eye SOME of the time Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!.
Neb- nice to agree with you on SOMETHING. lol. what do you all think about audioslave? better, worse, or equal to RATM? I definately think Rage was better. Also, from what i've heard, Morello isn't given as much a chance to shine like he was in Rage. Or am i wrong? i havn't heard the whole cd...
Again I'd have to agree with you. At the moment I'm writing a paper on Che Guevara for Poli Sci, and thus I've been listening to RATM a lot lately to put myself in the proper mood. RATM definitely has a more defined vibe than Audioslave. I've only heard a few Audioslave songs, but they really don't do much for me. I think it will be hard for any of the ex-members of RATM to outdo or even come close to matching what they did in that band.
yeah, audioslave doesn't really do anything for me either. i did a report on che once. i thought it was interesting that he was a doctor...
I'm running out of things to say though, it's supposed to be 3000 words and I only have about 900. It's an analytical biography, so I have to talk about what shaped his views, how successful he was etc. Any suggestions? If so, please hurry, because it's already 4 days late Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!.
I read somewhere sometime that he actually used a one of a kind "defective" guitar for that effect. It was defective and for some reason he started playing it, liked the effect it made and kept it to himself. *shrug* I'll have to see if I can find that article. *Edit* hmm maybe I was thinking of the wrong effect and wrong guitar. Maybe it would help if I actually knew something about guitars. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
audioslave is not as good as RATM... i bought it to hear morello's guitars.. but he's not done anythin that great wit em in this album... he def had a bigger impact in RATM... plus zack's vocals were da bomb
I seem to be the only one here who prefers audioslave.....Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! RATM were incredible, but the first audioslave song i heard was just incredible. It is the one with fireworks in the video, i can never remember the damn name! I think RATM has better albums at the moment though, but i think audioslave can achieve morePlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Lord_Tigersloth; I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion, even when it is SO obviously wrong! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! BTW, I think the song is called "Cochise"
