Currently making his way across Europe, guitar icon Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine fame has been opening his sets joined by his son, Roman , performing their collaborative song “Soldier in the Army of Love.”

At just 13 years old, Roman has been wowing the crowds each night, and his proud father decided to post a few clips on social media to share the love with his followers. Take a peek at Tom's July 8 set at the Villafranca Festival in Verona, Italy featuring his son Roman below.

“Good lord. My 13 year old kid Roman Morello SCORCHING his way across Europe,” Tom captioned his post on X.

Tom and "guitar wizard" Roman's “Soldier in the Army of Love” is the first track offered up from Morello's forthcoming full-length solo album, and was previously described by Tom as "a generational rock anthem from the Morellos."

"I've been very inspired by my 11-year-old son," Tom told Rolling Stone last year. "I've been relegated to being the rhythm guitar player in my family now because my [son] can shred circles around me. I've been inspired by him. He's been writing some riffs, and I've been writing some riffs. It's been fun."

Roman Morello previously recorded with Nandi Bushell on her 2021 single "The Children Will Rise Up" -- and was also part of Jack Black 's "kid band" that he put together last year to perform Ozzy Osbourne 's "Mr. Crowley" in celebration of his grandmother Mary's 100th birthday.
