Information about the song

In an interview, guitarist Tom Morello said this about the song: "Cochise was the last great American Indian chief to die free and absolutely unconquered. When several members of his family were captured, tortured, and hanged by the U.S. Cavalry, Cochise declared war on the entire Southwest and went on an unholy rampage, a warpath to end all warpaths. He and his warriors drove out thousands of settlers. Cochise the avenger, fearless and resolute, attacked everything in his path with an unbridled fury. This song kinda sounds like that."[1] Tom Morello (born May 30, 1964, as Thomas Baptist Morello) is a Grammy Award-winning American guitarist of the band Rage Against the Machine. ... Dragoon Mountains where Cochise hid with his warriors Cochise (Kuu-chish = firewood) (c. ...

Guitar techniques

Tom Morello came across the intro riff by accident. He had a guitar on his lap and his Digital Delay pedal set to "slap-back" and, while writing notes for a song, he rapidly hit the strings with a pencil in his right hand. This produced a noise reminiscent of a helicopter. When Audioslave recorded this song, Morello did the same thing, with his Digitech Whammy set an octave lower, and using a flat hand to slap the strings. // The Digitech Whammy is a pitch-shifter effects pedal manufactured by Digitech. ...


Music Video

Screenshot from the "Cochise" music video

The accompanying music video, directed by Mark Romanek and produced by Aris McGarry, shows Chris Cornell on a raised platform, presumably waiting for the other members, symbolising a singer without a band. Meanwhile, Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk drive to the platform in a jeep, symbolising a band without a singer. They take an elevator to the top of the platform where they play atop the platform with a barrage of fireworks being shot off in the background. At the end of the video, they hug, symbolising that a new band has been formed. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...
