Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band brought their Wrecking Ball Tour to Australia this evening for the group's first performance of 2013. When the band took the stage at Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Brisbane they did so without guitarist Steven Van Zandt, who is in Norway filming his Lilyhammer TV show. It was the E Street Band's first performance without Little Steven since 1988. [Photo by @patricklion ] Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello filled Van Zandt's role and will do so [...]

Tom Morello es uno de los guitarristas más experimentales e interesantes que tiene el mundo de la música. Después de lo que hizo con Audioslave y su producción como solista no podemos más que arrodillarnos y alabar a este músico terrible. Por otra parte, tenemos que Bruce Springsteen , que si bien no me mata la música que hace, no se le puede cuestionar su carrera porque hizo las cosas bien y ayudó a que el Rock & Roll se masificara y llegase a ser lo que es en la actualidad. Springsteen está dando una serie [...]

E Street Band guitarist Stevie Van Zandt will miss the group's upcoming tour of Australia backing Bruce Springsteen to focus on his role in the television show Lilyhammer. Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine will fill Van Zandt's hefty shoes during the March dates. Morello has sat in with Springsteen and his band a number of times over the past few years, including on a Jimmy Fallon appearance. Van Zandt left the E Street Band in 1984 before returning in 1999. Nils Lofgren [...]

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's Wrecking Ball Tour continued last night at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., where The Boss and his band welcomed old friends Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine) and Mike Ness (Social Distortion) to help out at points during the show. [Photo by @strulin ] Morello emerged at the start of the show for the Land of Hopes and Dreams opener and then returned for versions of Death To My Hometown, This Depression, Ghost of Tom Joad, [...]

Twenty-eight songs and a running time slightly over three hours. These are the hallmarks of a Bruce Springsteen live show. It was a special night from the start as Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine walked onstage with the members of the E Street Band at the onset for a ripping version of "Land Of Hope And Dreams." Morello guested throughout the evening, adding his sonic wizardry to "Death To My Hometown,""This Depression," "Badlands," "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out," and a mind blowing whammy pedal solo on "The Ghost Of Tom Joad." The other surprise of the evening was Mike Ness [...]

Hoy es un día clave para la política mundial, aunque siempre lo es cuando se elige a un presidente de los Estados Unidos. Esta noche los norteamericanos decidirán si confían cuatro años más en Barack Obama o si prefieren que sea el republicano Mitt Romney quien ocupe la Casa Blanca. Atrás quedarán semanas de campaña política por todos los estados del país, donde se alternaron discursos políticos con actuaciones musicales. Y es que, especialmente desde la anterior campaña de Obama, los músicos se están involucrando cada vez más activamente en el mundo de la política. [...]

This past week, presumptive Republican Vice-Presidential nominee Paul Ryan revealed his favorite band is Rage Against the Machine. Over the years, Republican Governor of New Jersey Chris Cristie has made it very clear that Bruce Springsteen is his favorite musician. While Springsteen has chosen to ignore Christie, Tom Morello opted to write a piece for Rolling Stone about Ryan's love of his band. In both cases, there seems to be a gross disconnect between the fan and the message/theme/principles of the musicians involved. So the Shank asked a number of musician friends [...]

Mi rendo conto sia noioso "un altro post su Springsteen". Capisco se vi annoia eh, capisco che potreste non leggere ma tant'è: questa è la storia del mio viaggio a Londra, destinazione Hyde Park, Springsteen. Che non vuol dire che lì sia la sua residenza estiva e io abbia deciso di darmi allo stalkeraggio, parliamo del suo concerto. Parto da solo. E quando parto da solo non è mai un bene, credo di averlo fatto solo un'altra volta nella vita. Sempre a Londra poi, dove feci 3 giorni di separazione dall'umanità, ma questa è un'altra storia e [...]

We're big fans of Tom Morello, best known as the guitarist for Rage Against The Machine. With Rage on indefinite hiatus, Morello has turned up in various incarnations: as part of Street Sweeper Social Club with rapper Boots Riley, and as the Nightwatchman. Today is Tom's birthday - Happy birthday, Tom! During SXSW a few months ago we were lucky to catch a Morello/Nightwatchman show, up close and personal at Threadgill's beer garden. Morello performed a sizzling version of Bruce Springsteen's "Ghost of Tom Joad." He went on to play it again, [...]

★★★★★ There have been very few times in my life where I have been happy to be wrong; Bruce Springsteen’s new album, Wrecking Ball might stand out as the greatest instance. After finding lead single “We Take Care Of Our Own,” to be somewhat mediocre, and fearing the same thing for all of the album, having my expectations blown away is a wonderful feeling. With Wrecking Ball , Springsteen makes one of his most personal and expressive albums of his career, one that outshines 2009’s Working On A Dream by miles. If I [...]

Bruce Springsteen, Tom Morello and Arcade Fire Play “This Land Is Your Land” at SXSW // A clear musical highlight of SXSW 2012.  - MW

Yesterday, the Boss came to town. Bruce Springsteen delivered his SXSW Keynote Address in the afternoon, and in the evening, he and his E Street Band played their much-touted SXSW show. I didn't go, but I talked to a bunch of people who did, and nobody had anything bad to say about it. As luck would have it, the show took place on Woody Guthrie's birthday, and Springsteen marked the occasion by covering "This Land Is Your Land" and bringing along an all-star crew of People Springsteen Likes: Arcade Fire, Tom Morello, the Animals' Eric Burdon, Alejandro Escovedo, Joe Ely, [...]

Ontem, você foi testemunha, via internet, de um momento icônico: em seu discurso no festival SXSW, Bruce Springsteen apresentou um trecho de uma versão sua para a histórica This land is your land , hino de forte tom político criado pelo ícone do folk Woody Guthrie . Você achava que nada poderia superar aquele momento? Em menos de 24 horas, o momento já foi superado. Se o vídeo original mostrava um Bruce solitário, o chefe convocou companhia para sua segunda rendição da faixa tradicional de Guthrie . Em seu show em [...]

After over two hours of Bruce and his boys at SXSW, the set closed with this: a cover of Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" with special guests Arcade Fire, Tom Morello, the Low Anthem, and others. It looks like a heartwarming performance that makes you want to drink a cheap beer, pump a fist, hug somebody, then go buy some land and fix up a broken truck. Woo! 12 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ARCADE FIRE

Tom Morello rips it up as the Nightwatchman. AUSTIN - First off, our apologies today for all the up-and-coming acts that we were supposed to spotlight - Thursday at the South by Southwest music conference, the big names took over. Everywhere we looked, there seemed to be one superstar or another under foot. We couldn't help but stumble into a show with a familiar voice or two. We started the day in a parking lot: namely the front lot of the great independent record store Waterloo Records [...]
