"Beat It" Video Review
A cover of Michael Jackson's "Beat It" is among the many treats to be found on "****," Fall Out Boy's first live release. Due April 8 via Island, the project will be available as a CD/DVD or DVD only.
"Before watching ourselves on film we never really realized how much we swear," bassist Pete Wentz wrote on the band's blog, by way of explaining the strange title for the upcoming release. "It's pretty gross ... though it's edited as to not hurt your little munchkin ears. And as for how to say the name, well any little four letter word will work."
To match the impact of the original song's fiery guitar solo from Eddie Van Halen, John Mayer steps in to lend his talents. While the band does not take the song in substantive new directions, they are successful at reviving the power of the song with added rock muscle.
A pretty brilliant cover accompanied by a Shane Drake directed video.
