In an interview with Sean Stewart, legendary guitarist Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave) revealed which are his favorite guitar players. He said: "I would go Hendrix, Page... for me, Randy Rhoads was the poster that was on my wall and I would practice eight hours a day... and then I might go - it may be a toss-up between David Gilmour for the emotion and Tony Iommi for the riffs. "We played a game, my friends and I would go to the Rainbow Bar [in LA] earlier, we'd play the game Mount Rushmore: you take any category, anything, it could be like best guitar players, best frontmen, worst guitar solos of all time on a hit record... "You come up with a Top 4 and then you spend a lot of time laughing your butts off on that one. "Here's one of my Mt. Rushmores of my career: I've had a great fortune of playing in bands with great frontmen - Zack de la Rocha, Chris Cornell, Bruce Springsteen, and now Chuck and B-Real - I've got a five-headed hydra of Mt. Rushmore for my frontmen, I feel very fortunate." Life and Career Thomas Baptiste Morello (born May 30, 1964) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, actor and political activist.
