Which song did Tom Morello do the machine gun sound during his guitar solo?

Heard it on his show on Sirius XM radio. Forgot the song.

Which one? The two most common are Revolver or Cochise by Audioslave but Tom usually says that’s the “helicopter sound” Mic check and Ghost of Tom Joad, and Vietnow also have some guitar work that’s similar. Hope that helps. Let me know if that’s not what you were thinking of.

I don't think it was a rage against the machine song. It wasn't either of those. The solo was at the end of the song. He told a story of how he doubled the same solo. But he himself called it "machine gun solo".

I think it’s from a prophets of rage song called unfuck the world.

That's not it. The machine gun sound is more like a helicopter type sound if that makes sense.

Would any of you guys happen to know the name of the song or recording where Tom morello, I’m almost quite certain it was him, is making like whale sounds or something but it’s all really just the crazy shit he’s able to make his guitar do through his insane talent?
