For those of you unfamiliar with Tom "Meat Swinger" Morello (that was his nickname during his brief tenure as a male stripper) (no, we are not joking), he was/is the guitarist for Rage Against the Machine, and he is an absolute beast. While he was earning that honors poli-sci degree from Harvard, he was also practicing the guitar for 8 hours a day, inventing new ways to make sound come out of the thing. Between his wah-wah pedal and Zach de la Rocha's amazing vocals, Rage became one of the most unique musical acts to come out of the 90s. Even if you don't 100% agree with their politics (and we don't), nothing makes you more ready to start a mass revolt than RatM.
