Meanwhile, Morello has also sounded a warning to The Vines, The Strokes and The Hives in the week the long-awaited album by Audioslave - the band made up of Morello, his RATM cohorts Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk and former Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell - is finally released.
He said: "There is nothing like the Audioslave album on the radio, there is nothing like it in clubs. It is very different to everything in the current climate. There was a Rolling Stone magazine cover recently with The Vines and Strokes and Hives and it said 'Rock Is Back'. Now I really like those bands, but if people think that's rock, well...
"Whether our album sells ten copies or ten million copies, I feel we've done our job. It rocks like [last red Indian chief to die uncaptured by American forces] Cochise on the warpath. We meld Chris' undeniable voice with riffage to smack the kids around the head."
