"Tom Morello Guitar Battle" (known as "Guitar Battle vs. Tom Morello" in Guitar Career) is the easiest of the three boss battles in the Guitar Career mode of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. The song is played by you and Tom switching off playing a solo, and features the wah-pedal, which Tom uses frequently in his guitar playing in Rage Against the Machine.

The following encore song that plays after Tom Morello is defeated is "Bulls on Parade".

Guitar Battle walkthrough[]

To beat Morello, get a power-up (which happens about every other time you play) and use it to stop him for getting any power ups (also about every other time he plays). He is most susceptible to Amp Overload, Whammy, and Broken String power-ups. If you don't beat Tom before your last stage (Hand Mangler Stage 8), You have to stop him from delivering Sudden Death in his solo called "Widow-Mayka" at the end of the song.

Some players say that if this was available for full band play, and had the same difficulty rating system as Guitar Hero 5 and Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock, Guitar would have an 80%, Bass would have a 40%, and Drums would have a 40%. On the lowest difficulty levels, there are simply so few notes to play that it can be very difficult to actually cause him to fail, with most attempts going to Sudden Death.

DLC version[]

The full version of this song is titled "Tom Morello Guitar Battle", and was available in the Boss Battles Track Pack for free before April 1st, 2014, when they shut down the Guitar Hero franchise's DLC stores. Unlike the Guitar Battle version of this song, it is found in the "Downloads" playlist, and you can also play this in Career and Quickplay.

Trivia[]

  • If real-life guitar battles featured power-ups such as the ones featured in battle mode, and if one were to be challenging Tom Morello in real-life, he probably wouldn't be quite as susceptible to the Whammy power-up, as Tom is famous for using the whammy bar on his guitars to make them sound like a DJ's turntable.
