There is a vid somewhere of Billy playing with them but this cover takes the cake. Retains much of the original but certainly QOTSA. Mark kills it which helps. Is that an Ovation solidbody electric Josh is playing?

FTW!!! Yes there was some shred going on but they really kept the wild ass feel of the original version. Well done.

I don't have the link but Willie Nelson's cover of "She Loves My Automobile" is awesome.

He turned it into a Texas swing.
