Rush's Alex Lifeson teamed up virtually with Metallica‘s Kirk Hammett and Rage Against the Machine‘s Tom Morello, for a new project of Morello's. Lifeson told Ultimate Classic Rock, “I think this is a project that he’s working on with a bunch of different musicians. I don’t really know what the future holds for it, but I really loved doing it.”
Lifeson explained that Morello sent the tracks to him and Hammett and was pretty vague as to what he should add, with Lifeson recalling, “He said, 'Put whatever you want on it — the more the merrier.' He was going to give it to Kirk Hammett, and Kirk was going to do the same thing. Being the contrarian, I did all of (these other styles), not just heavy rock stuff. We were all talking to each other while we were doing it, and we just had such a riot. I sent my stuff in and it went to Kirk then, and he sent his stuff in.”
Lifeson said he was pleased by the rough mix he heard of the track: “It’s really some fun music. It’s so Tom Morello, his parts. I just smiled the whole way through listening to it. I thought it was really, really cool the way it turned out. . . I’m hoping that he might have something else to send along.”
