Tom Morello says RATM aren’t ready to record

Well, bummer! Rage Against Against The Machine’s guitarist Tom Morello has issued an official statement regarding the future plans for the funk rock group. He said, “I completely understand people want to hear we’re in the studio making a record. We are not – I’m sorry.”
