GUITAR SOLO

Tom Morellos own exact words

"For the guitar solo section, I got right up close to the amp to get some feedback

and, working the whammy bar with my left hand, I flicked the toggle switch from the

"off" to the "on" position in the rhythm you hear.In order t achieve this toggle

switch effect, you'll need a guitar with two pickups, each with its own volume

control. On my guitar, I turn the volume control for the neck pickup all the

way down to zero (or "off"), and I turn the volume control for the bridge pickup

up full. This way, when I flick the toggle switch from the neck to the bridge

pickup, I am essentially turning the guitar sound from the "off" to the "on"

position, then manipulating the pitch with the tremolo bar to make it sound like

a whistle, or an angry flute. With that particular guitar, I always get the

same feedback note when I get right up next to the amp, so it's very reliable"

that was tom morello explaining the solo.

Now instead of having morellos wiring like in his guitar for his killswitch

you can just get a regular killswitch insatlled into your guitar.(does basiclly

the same thing).Toms is wired kind of like a les paul.2 volumes for each pick

up turn one to 0 the other to 10 and its a killswitch,his i think is only a 2 way

switch unlike les pauls that are 3 ways usally.

now just play this untill the end and thats it.

then the radio thing toms morellos word again

It sounds like there's a transistor radio mixed in at the end of the song, and

that's exactly what it is. When I was doing overdubs, I was playing my

solid-body Ovation Breadwinner guitar through a MusicMan amp, while using an old,

vintage distortion pedal called a Tone Bender. The Tone Bender has a warm,

broken-up distortion sound that goes perfectly with the track. I first got turned

on to Tone Benders when we were working on Evil Empire with producer Brendan O'Brien,

who also produced our new album. I found that when I turned on the pedal but

didn't play anything, I picked up a crystal-clear signal from a Korean radio station.

In earlier mixes of "Sleep Now in the Fire," that radio thing was featured more

prominently. We had the radio signal running through the entire song. It was a

little annoying, so we decided just to stick it at the very end. I always like to

say that there are no samples on any of our records, and this is a good example.

That radio signal is no sample - it was played!
