I remember back in 2014 when you played that with both of them in Melbourne, Australia during your time with the E Street Band. The second song is “Highway To Hell” with Bruce Springsteen and Eddie Vedder. It was this lonely confinement, and yet this rock and roll pen pal community was developing, breathing an important air of unexpectedness into each day. Walk me through your typical day making this record.Įvery day was exactly the same. There might be a way to still be a musician during this time.” And so the making of this record didn’t begin with, “I’m going to make a record.” It began with, “This is an antidepressant.” If there’s a way to find this oasis in the middle of being a caretaker, a schoolteacher and a plumber, this is a way to remind myself that I’m a musician, I’m an artist, and I’m a guitar player. I’d be like, “Oh, that sounds fuckin’ great. I’d send them riffs and they’d send me back tracks. I sent some tracks to Bloody Beetroots and some to Jon Levine just different producer friends. “Let’s try and survive Tuesday.” In the midst of this plague and the attending ennui, it was a way to connect outside of the cloistered, solitary confinement. There wasn’t a notion of “making an album.” It was purely a life raft.
I have an engineering credit on the record since I hit the red button on my phone to record the guitar.Īnyways, I would send these ideas around. If you’ve heard the record, 95% of the guitars on that record were recorded on my phone. I think my sound quality has been degraded since day one. That re-light the pilot light.”ĭoes it degrade the sound quality of your guitar parts when the master is in a Voice Memo? I’d send the guitar riffs off to various producers, engineers, and artists around the world. I was like, ‘You can do that?’ And I started just playing guitar straight into my iPhone. “I read a quote by Kanye West where he said he had recorded the vocals for a couple of his hit records on the Voice Memos on his iPhone,” Morello says. The inspiration to resume creating came from an unlikely source. There’s an engineer that normally does that.” It was made worse by the fact that while I have a studio in my home, I don’t know how to work it.
“For the first time as a creative person, I felt wholly uninspired. “I didn’t pick up a guitar for the first six months,” he tells Rolling Stone. It not only cleared Morello’s calendar for the indefinite future, but left him stuck in his house without any sort of creative outlet. It was slated to kick off March 26th in El Paso, Texas, just days after the pandemic shut down the global concert industry. At the beginning of 2020, Tom Morello thought he was going to spend the the bulk of the year rocking arenas, stadiums, and festivals with Rage Against The Machine on their long-awaited reunion tour.
