Tom Morello |
en | | Tom Morello was born in Harlem, New York on May 30th 1964. His mother, Mary Morello, is a founder of Parents For Rock And Rap, an anti-censorship group. His father was a Mau Mau guerrilla, a Kenyan revolutionary who later was the first Kenyan delegate to the United Nations. Morello's great-uncle, Jomo Kenyatta, was the first elected president in Kenya.
Morello is famed for his guitar style, which consists of punk/funk hybrid riffs and hip hop inspired sounds. His guitar playing is also characterized by heavy use of guitar effects, such as delay, modulation, harmonizers, distortion, feedback, and others in unique ways and combinations. Critically acclaimed, he is said to use the guitar in a unique and imaginative way; rather than just plucking the strings he pulls off maneuvers such as using the toggle switch to create a tremolo style effect (an unofficial trademark of his), using feedback from the amp and the whammy bar to create a solo and taking the jack out of the guitar and tapping it against the strings in conjunction with using the wah pedal.
Tom has been a member of several bands including Lock Up, Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave.Links Tom Morello, muslib.ru (рус.)Version Mon, 16 Apr 2007 10:21:47 +0400
