The Official Rage Against The Machine thread (favorite songs, fan, effect)

I disagree that using anything other then the guitar can produce the types of sounds he is creating. It also takes talent to make the guitar create those specific sounds as just having pedals won't do you much good unless you know what you are doing with them. What makes Morello great for what he is capable of is the fact that he uses the guitar to create his own signature style that can be recognized instantly. Just like Jimi, Brian May, The Edge, Van Halen... they can all be recognized just by hearing a measure of their guitar work, same goes for Morello.

Exactly, if Morello was all pedals then that would mean anyone could find a good effects pedal and sound like Tom Morello.

But I have yet to hear a player who has done so.

A big part of being a musician is creating sound. What Morello did was unheard of when it comes to guitar. He did things with the guitar that most people didn't even think to do, and he did it effectively. He wasn't necessarily good at playing technical pieces, but he was good at crafting songs via unconventional means using his guitar. It may have not been technical in the sense of actual playing, but it was innovative.

I don't even like RATM and I am capable of recognizing this.

I luuurve me some Rage.
But I've found that it's pointless to argue about. You either love them or you hate them.
