Tom Morello - "Comandante"

The new ep from Tom Morello, the famous guitarist of RATM, AUDIOSLAVE. So to put it simply I enjoyed these five songs as much as I detest his  fake  political  "left wing" positioning with right pocket ideas.

The opener is an instrumental heavy/psychedelic cover of “Voodoo child” that really blows away the  original version of the song, making it a complete new Morello flavor version.

The real standouts are the hypnotic, fusion inspired songs like the “Interstate 80" where Slash is participating in a total guitar dwell/massacre  or the RATM political/ sonic inspired instrumental  “Suburban guerillas”. The ep  also contains a tribute to Eddie Van Halen at "Secretariat" and listening to it, you'll easily find the EDV sonic influences (tapping...etc).

This ep is the real deal, innovation meets the classic and the result is pure sonic delight along some interesting musical ideas from a guitarist extraordinaire
