Tom Morello Compares Post Malone to Chris Cornell: A Match Made in Music 🎸🎤
Hey music lovers! 🎶 Get ready for a thrilling insight into the world of songwriting! Recently, Tom Morello, known for his contributions to iconic bands like Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave, stirred the music scene by likening Post Malone’s writing style to that of the late, great Chris Cornell. 🤯
In a candid chat on Eddie Trunk's podcast, Morello emphasized how both artists create melodies that are "hooky, beautiful, and terrifying." He shared his experience with Malone, recalling a collaborative session from about five to six years ago, where they crafted a song that Morello believes could match the epic feel of Michael Jackson's "Beat It." 🎶🔥
The Genius of Collaboration ✨
Morello recalled how they ducked into the studio for hours and the sparks flew. “It is a banger. It is an absolutely awesome rock tune,” he said. Despite the potential of their creation, it remains unfinished. Morello humorously noted that getting Post Malone to finalize the song is quite the challenge — after all, he's a "busy dude" with an avalanche of projects on his plate. 🚀
Malone has made a name for himself by crossing genres – from hip-hop to country and, of course, rock! 🎸 He’s shared the stage with legends like Aerosmith, performing classics like “Dream On,” which speaks volumes about his deep admiration for rock greats. For him to receive such high praise from Morello indicates a level of artistic brilliance that is hard to overlook. 🌟
The Shadows of Loss and Legacy 😢
Cornell, who passed away in 2017, left behind a legacy that resonates with many, and Morello’s reflections beckon us to appreciate that legacy in a contemporary context. While both artists (Cornell and Malone) have distinct styles, the songwriting process involves throwing ideas around and collaboratively shaping them — an immensely creative and fluid experience that Morello highlights. 🎨
What’s Next for Post Malone? 🎤
On the horizon, Malone is making waves with his recent album "F-1 Trillion," which bagged him seven Grammy nominations! 🏆 He’s clearly on fire and continues to impact the music industry profoundly. With accolades flowing in and an unfinished melody haunting Morello, one can't help but wonder: will this collaboration ever see the light of day?
So, what do you think? Can Post Malone echo the brilliance of Chris Cornell, or will he carve out an entirely new path for himself? 🤔
