The Nightwatchman

[Bobkat1252]

I'm a fan of Rage Against the Machine and I had heard of Tom Morello's solo project, The Nightwatchman, but I had never listened to it. The other day though I looked it up online and gave some of it a listen to and, while I'm not usually into acoustic, I found it very appealing. Anyone else here listen to The Nightwatchman? What do you guys think about his music?

I bought the first record. The lyrics were somehow remenicent of Trent Lane's band Myystic Spiral. otherwise, not bad

I loved it, very easy to listen to but very strong at the same time.

I laugh at all the Rage fans who were like "Man Tom Morello is awesome, this album is gonna be full of badarse shred.. Woo!" then they freak out because its all acoustic.

ratm was full of bad arse shred? maybe one chord repeated many many times, they were rather stagnant and started to suck right after their first album, the funny part is they became what they were saying not to be.

the reason they broke up was Zack wanted to keep the same sound so they could make buckets of money off suckers and the rest of the band wanted to branch out and try other things

as for his solo stuff i haven't heard it

Yeah, The Nightwatchman stuff is quite different from his Rage music, almost to the point that you can't tell that they're played by the same guy.
