Tom Morello Debuts New Track on Late-Night Television With Son
Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello performed his latest single on Jimmy Kimmel Live, accompanied by his son Roman on guitar and backup singers. The track appears on Morello's recently released album Everyone Gets Everything They Want, produced by a notable roster of music producers. Morello had originally been scheduled to perform with Bruce Springsteen during the show's Brooklyn week but pulled out due to scheduling conflicts.
Tom Morello's latest album, Everyone Gets Everything They Want, represents a collaborative effort featuring an impressive collection of producers including Tyler Smyth, Carl Restivo, Zakk Cervini, Dan Carey, and Sam Nelson Harris. The project also includes notable guest contributions from artists such as Serj Tankian, Kneecap, and Beartooth, alongside Morello's own son Roman, who participated both in the studio and during the television performance.
The Kimmel appearance came after Morello's original scheduling plans shifted, as he was initially set to perform alongside Bruce Springsteen during the show's Brooklyn week. This rescheduling ultimately led to a family-centered performance instead, with Roman demonstrating his own musical abilities on electric guitar during "Soldier in the Army of Love."
Morello's televised performance may reinforce multi-generational interest in his work, potentially introducing younger audiences to both his solo catalog and his broader artistic legacy. The upcoming Power to the People Festival, featuring an expansive lineup of established and emerging artists, could influence cultural conversations around music activism. Such high-profile platform appearances and festival events may shape music industry visibility and audience engagement across demographic segments.
