177. TOM MORELLO REVEAL REVEALS THE FULL STORY BEHIND THE MC5 & RATES ALL THEIR RECORDS (KICK OUT THE JAMS, BACK IN THE USA, HIGH TIME, & HEAVY LIFTING)

Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello was part of the powerhouse unit that recorded Heavy Lifting, The MC5’s first album in 53 years. In this unforgettable podcast, Tom pays tribute to both the band and the recently departed Wayne Kramer, the band’s legendary guitarist/songwriter and his close personal friend.

Here’s just some of the many things Tom and I touch on in this podcast:

• Why Tom feels that the MC5 are the spiritual forebears to Rage Against The Machine;
• A moving glimpse into Tom and Wayne’s friendship and the far-reaching work they did with Jail Guitar Doors;
• Plus, incendiary discussions about their early singles, Kick Out The Jams, Back In The USA, High Time, and their incredible new opus, Heavy Lifting!

Don’t miss next week’s podcast with Heavy Lifting producer Bob Ezrin, as we continue our celebration of The MC5!
