Tom Morello, the guitar virtuoso from Rage Against The Machine and musical director of the concert, joined forces with Aerosmith’s powerful vocalist Steven Tyler, The Rolling Stones’ iconic guitarist Ronnie Wood, Extreme’s Nuno Bettencourt on guitar, Quiet Riot’s Rudy Sarzo on bass, and Blink-182’s drumming powerhouse Travis Barker. Together, they kicked off with a soulful rendition of the ‘50s blues classic “Train Kept A Rollin’”.

After Barker’s energetic drumming, Chad Smith from Red Hot Chili Peppers took over on the drums for a thrilling medley combining Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way” and Led Zeppelin’s legendary “Whole Lotta Love”. Witness the magic of these rock legends in action:
