Tom Morello/RATM - Induction Speech Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

[@sevenhighnote]

Tom Morello has always talked the talk and he has always walked the walk. He shows up. Respect!

[@chrisbarrett-rn2bu]

Maybe he should work on having LA cleaned up. It’s the first twist it’s ever been, trash and debris everywhere. Same with SF, Seattle, Portland…. What’s going on in these dem cities

Dude works for the Hall of Fame they made him go!😂

[@silvanikock3512]

Much respect to tom, a true metal and rock fan for life

[@Lady.Luthien]

I totally understand why the other guys dissed the Hall. But I think Tom understood that it wasn't about the Hall, or even about them, it was about honoring the fans and every person who rallied behind their message. So Tom put on his best baseball cap, walked into the face of yet another machine, and raged against it one more time.

[@kiros414]

Zack (and maybe the others idk) were literally off protesting against a genocide funded by our own gov, can't really think of a better way to honor us and the message than that. they chose to divide and conquer.

[@thehoboteacher]

I love your read on this. So so insightful

[@hannahrose567]

I think he took full advantage of the platform that was given to him to speak his truth and what the band was trying to do so I completely agree with you and I can totally understand as well I mean they're raging against the same machine that they did back then but Tom knew what needed to be done for sure

[@roymiller6964]

He's a communist and doesn't belong in the hall of Fame

[@Adam13Chalmers]

Put THAT on the next Statue of Liberty!

[@johnnybegood6281]

There won't be another statue of liberty but maybe it could be made an amendment.

[@jamespeers6210]

[@jeanwonnacott2718]

I understand why the others said no. But what a missed opportunity. To speak as Tom did? A truly missed opportunity....Mary!! You are a legend too. Thank you for raising him right, the world should pay attention. The band has always spoken to me, thank you! ❤❤ Jeannie in Lakeport California

Tom is a badass I love RATM I remember buying your first album and how blown away it was keep making music 🎶 and never give up the vision that you set out to make. I hope that you guys get back together and keep making killer tunes for all of your fans 💜

[@anniedarkhorse6791]

Great speech. I like the Sinclair MC5 'Brothers and Sisters'. Nice touch. Tom's been a great interface with the media, for the band. It's nice that he thanked his Guitar Tech. You don't see that very often. Giving some love to his paid employee. I think people would love to see more RATM gigs, even with Zack sitting in a chair. They'd understand. I like how he didn't bash Cops or the Military - simply spoke of using your Conscience. I am a retired Cop. I always did that and helped Homeless and damaged people as much as I could. There are good ones out there. They should be supported. Society isn't ready to have no Social Controls. We all have to be be more decent to each other so that one day we don't need them. Viva RATM.

[@randomdude5938]

@@JustJeph33you know nothing about him or what he believes in. The expectation that people who have socialist ideals should be homeless on the street to be true to their ideals is just typical right wing talking point bs. A socialist utopia is not everyone being broke. We also don’t live in a socialist utopia. We live in a capitalist hellscape. No one wants to live in poverty. You have to play by the rules of society you live in if you don’t want to live a miserable poverty nightmare. Socialists can’t just live their ideals and pretend we live in a socialist society or they would starve to death. You ignorant people are so tiresome.

My dude Tom. Amazing songwriter and badass guitar player. I just wish his politics were as real as his musical talent. The guy wouldn't dare telling a Cuban, North Korean or Chinese soldier to "follow their conscience instead of orders". He's just a Hollywood communist sadly. RATM and Audioslave still are awesome, though.

[@sethprice1536]

Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard got it wrong. These boys changed things while using EPIC to spread their message....
