I've never heard it...can't comment. But, I enjoy the Foo covers -- they use them as B-sides.

I thought it was a pretty decent cover with a twist. Did you like the original?

I was at that show too. Couldn't agree more. Singing, dancing, playing every instrument. He didn't do any "hits", and it was fantastic.

A friend of mine in the fanclub got us in to watch the sound check too. While the band was jamming, he comes down into the seats, sits about 2 rows behind us and says "So, how does that sound to y'all". A moment I'll never forget.
