here is Matt from Muse talking about it:

MATT: Check out the lightning bolt cover song. It’s a new style of
music coming out of weird abandoned art galleries in Boston, called Skronk music which is like insane punk, simplistic sort of gamma metal. Dom and Chris are gonna do a cover at the beginning of the gig tonight, of one of the bands that does that.

WTF?!?

I am going to express how I feel about this, like this:

UUUUURRRGAAAAAGGGGHHGODGODGODCHRISTKILLTHEMNOWUUUUUUGH

thanks.

This is fucking horrible on so many different levels....

First off, MUSE covering LIGHTNING BOLT??? NOBODY should be covering Lighting Bolt and especially not fucking Muse.

Secondly..."Skronk"? That's almost as bad as "Grunge"...

I'm not even gonna listen to that...

Meh.

WTF next? Willie Nelson doing reggae covers?



I'm cancelling my subscription to music right now.

You haven't heard Duracell, a one-man-band that uses triggers on his drums to play different notes from a bunch of sequenced modular synths.

He does two Lightning Bolt covers.. maybe some more.

Enjoy here:

pardon my ignorance - who's 'muse'?

whoever they are, this cover is LAME as hell. took all of the life out of the song, and totally missed the point.

lightning bolt is just one of those bands that cannot be covered. like fugazi. like the jesus liz... i don't know, can you cover a jesus lizard song? i guess, now that i think about it, hubcap used to cover 'wheechair epidemic', but not very well at all.

Muse are a bunch of subradiohead wankers.

They are an extremely bombastic pomp/pop-rock three-piece. Kind've like a Radiohead vs Iron Maiden, but more pop. They can be quite amusing in very short doses. They're very, very good musicians at least.

that Duracell link is fantastic.
