March 27, 2009

Corey Taylor (SLIPKNOT, STONE SOUR),Sammy Hagar (VAN HALEN, CHICKENFOOT) and Joe Satriani (CHICKENFOOT) are among the musicians who joined Tom Morello of RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE and THE NIGHTWATCHMAN fame last night (Thursday, March 26) at the San Francisco stop of his celebrated Justice Tour.

Watch fan-filmed video footage of the performances below. A review of the show can be found at SFWeekly.com.

As more and more Americans are being pushed into poverty and homelessness by the unscrupulous behavior of CEOS, the Justice Tour hopes to be a part of a bailout for people, not banks. One hundred percent of the Justice Tour profits will benefit homeless advocacy and service groups, and the tour's artists will also partake in hands-on volunteer work with these organizations. Community partners for the shows are New Horizons in Seattle, Project Open Hand in San Francisco, and PATH in Los Angeles.

"The model of the Justice Tour is simple," said Morello. "Feed the poor. Fight the power. Rock the fuck out. I'm very excited to be doing this and jamming with my good friends on the various stops on the tour. I'm equally excited that these artists will be rolling up their sleeves to help alleviate hunger and homelessness in these hard times." Morello also noted, "It is very important to me to keep ticket prices super cheap so that everyone can enjoy these very special concerts."

Past Justice Tour dates have featured important social justice organizations and unforgettable performances with special guests Perry Farrell and Dave Navarro of JANE'S ADDICTION, Slash, Flea, Maynard James Keenan of TOOL, Sen Dog of CYPRESS HILL, Pete Yorn, Shooter Jennings, Mike Einzinger of INCUBUS and many others.
