@TheGuiltReligion yeah, hey, no problem. didnt mean to "prey" or anything. and as i wrote, i too like the japandroids version more. (=

[TheGuiltReligion]

@domokunbogle I do realize that now. However I didn't when I first posted this, a year ago. I thought it was just another kick ass song by Japandroids. But I did listen to the Big Black version and I do enjoy Japandroids version way more. Thank you though for trying to fill me in.

The tones that come out of that guitar. So good. Love those high screech notes that Brian hits. Such a good band. Summer thrashy rock forever!

[domokunbogle]

@TheGuiltReligion you realise that racer X isnt their song? Its a cover. but its still awesome. (and i like the japandroids version more than the original)

[RaygunShaun]

Seriously, I loved Japandroids before, but now I find out that they're Big Black fans doing a Big Black song, SWEET JESUS, it's like sex in my ears everytime I hear this shit.

[foulis]

[dougydarkangel]

Their clean/fuzz blending is just amazing.
