How Is This Possible?
I recently saw a video of a Rage Against The Machine concert where Tom Morello takes out his amp lead and plays a solo using it as a plec.
anyone know how it's possible to do this? I tried and it doesn't do anything except disconnect the guitar for me.

if you're talking about when he unplugs his guitar and starts taping the strings and pickups...
the reason he makes it work is because he has a whammy pedal. so he can take that noise it makes, simple ground hums, squeals, ect.. and turn them into notes by rocking the whammy and altering them with other fx.
tom morello is amazing. just when everyone sells out and starts doing the same boring stuff he keeps it real, and not at the cost of musicianship either.

I once accidentaly magnetized a little fork with my pickups... those are hella wicked to use as a pick/slide/noisemaking thingy, especialy the nearer you get to the pickups...
It does magnetise your strings tough...

Get a remote control, point it at your pick ups and hit buttons.

Yeah I remeber seeing this a couple of years ago by him when I was still a beginner at guitar and I would be like "HOW THE HELL DOES HE DO THAT?" There's also this one other weird thing he does in that video "Sleep now in the Fire", where in the middle of the song he makes these high-pitch sounds that sound like a laser gun shooting or something and if you watch the video at that part, he's like doing this weird ass thing where he's holding his wrist with the other hand and pulling on it and it's like making that sound....you just have to watch it to understand what I'm saying.

Dont try that at home.. unless you are immune to electrical currents.
He stopped doing it once he realized he was risking his very existence by being "creative"

on "biotech is godzilla" by sepultura, i am told that for the solo of that song, andreas used a battery on the pickups for that weird, massively high squeaky sound that sounds like a chinese woman being fucked by two sexually enhanced african men. |

I'm glad that it doesn't work on my computer, because I HAD to click on it.
Does anybody here think that Tom does some really stupid stuff in Audioslave? In Show Me How To Live he plays ONE (1, UN, UNO) note on an OPEN string, and then changes the pitch a little. I saw it live, and it was just weird.

Yeah, I was pretty bored with that group right off the bat. I think those guys must all be on Prozac or something these days. I found out that Jim Carrey has been on Prozac for several years now and that kind of explained what I saw happening to his career. |

well i still think audio slave is pretty tight, but compared to rage against the machine... they just lost alot of mojo and energy. you can hear it even on the cd.

paxil made my fuck stick not work.

It was a bachelor's in political science. Too bad it wasn't a masters in EE, that would make him even better at developing new effects tricks...  |
