The Pretty Reckless singer Taylor Momsen told Download TV how the band got Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello to play guitar on its new album, Death By Rock And Roll.
Momsen explained, “I've known Tom for a few years now, but we kind of reconnected at the 'I Am The Highway' tribute for Chris Cornell; we both played with Soundgarden on the song 'Loud Love.' As I was making the record, the song 'And So It Went' came about, and I called him up and I said, 'This is begging for your voice on this. This is begging for a Tom Morello solo.'”
Momsen continued, “He has such a unique voice and a unique sound that is so distinctive to him. And I said, 'Dude, are you in? Do you like the song? Is it something that you can contribute to?' And then he was all about it and he sent back his wizardry . . . it comes in slamming, and it's so undeniably Tom Morello, he makes the song. It's awesome.”
Morello joins previously announced guests Kim Thayil and Matt Cameron from Soundgarden on the early 2021 release. Death By Rock And Roll is The Pretty Reckless' fourth studio album and the title track recently cracked the Top 10 at rock radio.
