By making a crappy classic rock cover song with a guest vocalist.
I guess the movie looks pretty good, though.
Ooh. That’s pretty horrid. “Get Down Make Love” it AIN’T.
Yeah, it sounds like Lacuna Coil.
utter shit
The song is too fast for vocals. I’m not a fan of that vocalist, Rez should have just used the wife and played the song slower.
The film does indeed look promising however. Fincher is an excellent film maker.
I can’t really crank it up at work, but it sounds okay to me. I’ll try again tonight with headphones and such.
For all of you that call that shit are fucking idiots.
it’s not as nice as the hall of the mountain king cover from the last soundtrack, but i’ll wait to hear the rest of it. It’s not terrible, but the issue is covering Zep is usually a fail.
I like Karen but when she does guest vocals on ANYTHING it usually never is a good thing.
No it doesn’t compare to the original. Shit I have it as my ringtone! And Trent’s been involved in better covers, but I have a total boner for Karen O. Didn’t like the last Yeah Yeah Yeahs album except for maybe 2 songs but she’s fucking awesome nonetheless. See her live and you’ll understand. When I saw YYY’s at coachella in 07 they were the best band of the whole weekend. Tool headlined the same night and got blown out of the water. I didn’t really hear much from Cover Up except for the 3 songs they played on C U LaTour(which I could’ve done without Just Got Paid and Under My Thumb) and any older covers that made it on there but this was way better than any covers I heard on Greatest Tricks/Undercover. This was also better than that hideous cover of Sweet Dreams.
It’s not bad. I’m mostly looking forward to the actual score. I was pretty impressed with his score to the Social Network, which was better than the movie, IMO.
If Reznor had killed my wife and gave my son AIDS it wouldn’t be as bad as this cover.
For all of you that call that shit are fucking idiots.
Not the best criterion for being a “candidate”.

Did you hear the NASA “Spirit Of Apollo” album??? It featured an insane amount of folk on it from David Byrne through to George Clinton, MIA, RZA, Tom Waits, Kool Keith, Spank Rock, Amanda Blank, DJ Q-Bert, Santogold and a ton more…anyway…one of the tunes featured Karen O…it was actually the last tune Ol Dirty Bastard was on before passing…
N.A.S.A. “Strange Enough”

Considering the amount of different folk on this album it was a surprise that it turned out so well. Who would’ve imagined Tom Waits on a tune with Kool Keith??!!
Snap. Just beat me to it. That NASA record is pretty damn cool. As for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, they’re good, they’ve got some good songs, but I prefer 'em in small doses.
Ever see that documentary Kill Your Idols? (Highly recommended, btw- lots of old footage of Swans, Sonic Youth, Lydia Lunch, Suicide, Foetus, DNA, and Glenn Branca, then they skip forward and cover Gogol Bordello, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Liars, Flux Information Sciences as an extension of the old school “No Wave”) Is it just me or does Karen O comes off as a complete idiot and kind of full of herself in that flick? I mean like you know like um okay?
Nick Zinner is a great guitar player though. And he can really play his effects too, when I saw 'em (great live show, I’ll admit) he was mad tweaking and twisting them knobs! He was on that Psychic TV album “Hell Is Invisible, Heaven is Her/e” too. LOVE that record.
I wish I liked the NASA record better than I do. It never quite gelled for me, but I do like “Watchyoodooin”.
Also, a big Yeah Yeah Yeahs fan, especially their last two albums which are pretty perfect pop to my old ears.
I like the cover… Not the original, but it’s good for what it is.
Yeah, there is nothing remotely bad about that cover. At least it’s not trying to attempt to sound like the original and became just another stale version of it song (which by the way isn’t fucking gold to begin with).
Trent’s best-ever cover, bar non, has to be “Sex Dwarf”. I’d give anything to hear a full studio cut of that cover.
