Morello and Springsteen have been occasional collaborators since 2008, when the Rage Against the Machine guitarist first joined Springsteen and the E Street Band on stage. The following year, Morello was a special guest during Springsteen’s closing set at the 25th Anniversary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concert at Madison Square Garden.
After playing guitar on two tracks from Springsteen’s 2012 album, Wrecking Ball, Morello filled in for E Street Band guitarist Steve Van Zandt during the Australian leg of the supporting tour. He followed up by contributing heavily to the 2014 album High Hopes — including a re-recording of “The Ghost of Tom Joad” — and once again stood in for Van Zandt on the “High Hopes Tour.”
In 2021, Morello recruited Springsteen and Eddie Vedder for a cover of AC/DC’s Highway to Hell,” which appears on his solo album, The Atlas Underground Fire.
