Serj Tankian & Tom Morello cover “Like a Stone” at Power to the People Fest
The stage at the Power to the People Festival was buzzing with electrifying energy, not just from the main acts, but from a deeply moving moment shared between two titans of rock: System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian and festival organizer Tom Morello.
The collaboration extended beyond a simple performance, diving into a shared moment of musical reverence. Tankian and Morello joined forces on stage to deliver two tracks, blending their respective styles into a memorable setlist.
First up was their recent collaborative single, “Adjourn It”, setting an immediate tone of shared creative momentum. Following this, they transitioned into a heartfelt cover of Audioslave’s classic track, “Like a Stone”.
The choice of the cover carried significant weight. In a gesture that touched the hearts of the audience, Morello dedicated the performance of “Like a Stone” to the late Audioslave and Soundgarden frontman, Chris Cornell. It was a tribute that spoke volumes about the enduring legacy of rock music and the deep connections forged through shared melodies.
This unplanned interaction showcased the powerful and often unexpected bonds that exist within the music community, proving that the festival was not just a celebration of music, but a platform for meaningful tributes and powerful artistic exchanges.
