September 30, 2026

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE guitarist Tom Morello performed his solo song "Soldier In The Army Of Love" on Tuesday's (September 29) episode of ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

Tom, who wore his trademark cap and aviator glasses during the performance, was joined with a full band, including his teenage son Roman, and backing vocalists for the track, which is taken from Tom's first solo rock album, "Everyone Gets Everything They Want".

"Jimmy Kimmel Live!" is currently broadcasting a special week of episodes from the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) in Brooklyn, New York.

"Everyone Gets Everything They Want" arrived on September 25 via Mom + Pop Music. Production credits include Tyler Smyth, Carl Restivo, Zakk Cervini, Dan Carey and Sam Nelson Harris.

The music spans a diverse array of styles and collaborators, reflecting decades of Tom's experience as a songwriter and performer. SYSTEM OF A DOWN's Serj Tankian, KNEECAP and BEARTOOTH all make appearances.

Morello has a long history of organizing activism-oriented concerts, rallies, and events, and continues to be a leading voice for social justice causes and workers and immigrants rights issues across the country and around the world. In addition to his solo work with THE NIGHTWATCHMAN and his role in RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE and AUDIOSLAVE, Morello remains one of modern rock's most influential guitarists, and outspoken activists.

Morello recently announced Power To The People festival — a celebration of peace, justice, solidarity, music, and community action — taking place Saturday, October 3 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland. The sold-out one-day festival curated by Morello, will feature special performances from an extraordinary lineup of artists and activists.

Morello is living proof of the transformative power of rock 'n' roll. Known for his innovative guitar solos and thunderous riffs, Morello is a groundbreaking artist whether in his solo career or as an original member of the rock bands RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE and AUDIOSLAVE — two acts responsible for multiple Grammy Awards and a combined 30 million albums sold worldwide. His trademark style, innovative techniques, and effects that resemble turntable scratching redefined electric guitar playing and were crucial components of RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE's rap-metal sonic attack and AUDIOSLAVE's numerous radio hits, not only helping catapult Morello and both those bands to multi-platinum success but leading to his recognition by Rolling Stone magazine as No. 18 on the "100 Greatest Guitar Players Of All Time" and subsequent induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame and the Metal Hall Of Fame. Morello's signature guitar could also be heard in supergroups PROPHETS OF RAGE and STREET SWEEPER SOCIAL CLUB as well as a six-year stint with Bruce Springsteen and the E STREET BAND. Additionally, Harvard graduate Morello has for decades been a vocal political activist and solo artist who has championed countless human rights and workers' rights causes.
