"Sleep Now in the Fire" is the fifth track from the 1999 album ''The Battle of Los Angeles'' by the band Rage Against the Machine. It was released as a single in 1999. The song contains lyrics about greed, such as the conquest of Native Americans, Christopher Columbus' voyage by Niña, the Pinta, and Santa Maria and U.S. slavery in the 19th century as well as criticism of actions taken by the U.S. government in wartime, including the bombing of Hiroshima and the use of Agent Orange in the Vietnam War. Guitarist Tom Morello's solo is also notable as he simply uses feedback from the amp, along with using his whammy bar to adjust the pitch of the feedback. By flicking his toggle switch on and off, he is able to create the high-pitched solo. At the end of the song, short sample of Korean artist Uhm Jung-hwa's 1998 song ''Poison'' can be heard - it was accidentally captured from a local Korean radio station broadcast through Morello's amplifier.〔(Radical Shriek by Tom Morello, Guitar World, May 2000 )〕 == Live performances == Sleep Now in the Fire made its live debut on September 11, 1999, at the Oxford Zodiac in England. After breaking up in late 2000, the three instrumentalists formed the band Audioslave with vocalist Chris Cornell. During their 2005 Out of Exile tour, the band played an instrumental version of Bulls on Parade, followed immediately by Sleep Now in the Fire with Chris Cornell. After Audioslave broke up in 2007, Tom Morello: The Nightwatchman played a brief teaser riff consisting of the opening guitar riff and drumbeat after finishing a cover of American Band on the Fabled City tour. On the 1999 DVD "The Battle of Mexico City", Zack de la Rocha changes the lyrics in the second chorus singing "Snuffed out in the fire, Sleep now in the fire", instead of "The cost of my desire, Sleep now in the fire." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sleep Now in the Fire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
