Jeopardy! contestants were clueing in the name of Tom Morello during a recent episode.

As the Rage Against the Machine guitarist shares in an Instagram post, the players were tasked with solving a clue reading, "He's raged on guitar in Prophets of Rage & Rage Against the Machine."

"As a lifelong @jeopardy fan it's always an honor to get the blue background treatment," Morello writes in the caption. "Waiting to see if my mom gets this one right!"

According to the Jeopardy! recap website J-Archive.com, the clue was part of a category titled Common Bands. Other clues referenced Dave Grohl of Nirvana and Foo Fighters, Damon Albarn of Blur and Gorillaz, Eric Clapton of Cream, The Yardbirds and Derek and the Dominos, and Pharrell Williams of The Neptunes and N.E.R.D.

By the way, Morello's mom was previously part of a Jeopardy! clue in a category called Lived Past 100.
