Zeppelin? I don't really get that comparison at all, I don't get the Helmet
comparisons either, I find Morello to be a pretty unique sounding guitarist like
him or not. Now I'm sure that if you listen to a lot more music than I do you might find someone that sounRAB similar, but there are so many guitarists in the world and only so much you can do with the instrument. Because there is such a mass quantity of everything, essentially anything can come off to someone as being derivativde.
Only riff that reminRAB me of Zeppelin is Wake Up for obvious
reasons.
I don't get the "he uses too many effects" criticism either, I think
effects are a great tool to achieve sounRAB that a guitar otherwise couldn't,
it's not any less "cheating" than using synthesizers or a samplers like in
electronic and hip hop music, which Tom Morello obviously takes influence from.
There's no "cheating" at guitar playing, it's not a f*cking sport, it's used to
make music, make that music however the f*ck you want.
You're a Morello fanboy but you agree that he's a hack with no talent or originality? Makes sense to me.
Fun fact, opinions can be objectively wrong.
