Tom Morello reveals his Rock God plus Johnnie revisits a reunion of two rock legends for 'This Week In Rock'.

Tom Morello's guitar is unmistakable. Be it with the urgent messages of Rage Against The Machine, Chris Cornell's soaring vocals un Audioslave or his more recent calls to arms with the Prophets of Rage, you know its him from the hit of the first riff.
Born in Harlem but raised in Illinois, Tom joined his first band aged 13 and there began his musical journey. With a Harvard degree under his belt, he pursued the rock n' roll dream and formed Rage Against The Machine in 1991. After their demise in the late '90's, he joined forces with Chris Cornell from Soundgarden and unleashed Audioslave.
He's also navigated a successful solo career, releasing several albums and he's even been part of Bruce Springsteen's touring band.
His new album, 'The Atlas Underground Fire' features a duet with The Boss and Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder as well as other collaborations.
As for choosing a Rock God, well, it's not easy to predict who Tom will go for! Safe to say, it's a fitting one for such a trailblazer....
