In a recent conversation with Eddie Trunk, Tom Morello revealed the similar songwriting style that Post Malone shares with Chris Cornell. When Trunk asked Morello about musicians he wants to record with someday, the Rage Against the Machine guitarist disclosed that he initially started working on a track with Post Malone over five years ago, but they haven’t been able to finish it yet. “We wrote a song together that, to my ears, sounds like what ‘Beat It’ was to Michael Jackson,” Morello shared. “It is a banger. It is an absolute awesome rock song.” While working together, Morello noticed a similarity that Posty shares with his former Audioslave bandmate, Chris Cornell. “When we would write songs with Chris, we sort of threw music at him and he would just come up instantaneously with a bunch of great melodies,” Morello recalled. “And that’s exactly how Post Malone does it. Excellent melody, one after another. And that’s one thing they have in common.” (Loudwire)
