Due for release on Monday, Bruce Springsteen’s new single, “High Hopes”, features a Rage Against The Machine-style wah-wah guitar solo and rhythm part from Tom Morello, according to Rolling Stone.
The magazine reports the single leaked online Tuesday.
The track was recorded during Springsteen’s Australian tour in March, when Morello filled in for Steven Van Zandt.
"We've never had a recording session during a tour in our lives," revealed Springsteen of the Sydney studio visit. "We did a couple of things that I wanted to put down. So that was very exciting. And being with Tommy was exciting. The band – Steven, Nils [Lofgren], all those guys – continues to be a source of inspiration for me."
Originally recorded by Los Angeles band The Havalinas, a version of the song appeared on Springsteen’s 1996 documentary and EP, “Blood Brothers.”
In January, Springsteen will perform in South Africa for the very first time before kicking off a month-long tour of Australia and New Zealand in Perth on February 5.
