The current indie rock scene, whatever it is, isnt worth the snot rolling out of Bob Moulds nose.

Well, I don't think Mould's playing is anything but amazing on this recording. Being a musician by way of guitar, it's not exactly the easiest song to play due to all the emotion and rage in the playing. On top of that, Bob's playing is extremly varied both with Husker Du and in his other projects. The Byrds version is also amazing, but this is a great way to personalize a cover while keeping true to the experimental roots.

It's so amazingly bad ass. I can't believe the comments are so old.

They could never get a mass popularity, they are too good for it.

[GaveDrohl1]

Music is about fun. Please fucking understand it, nobody cares about the technique here.

Most cathartic song ever. Play that shit real loud in your car on the highway, in the hot summer night with your windows down. That's as good as life gets.

[JohnnyBanco]

Yes, it's very wrong you listened to them for that long.

J/k, you can never listen to too much Hüsker Dü! :)

I was there!!



[William Miroor]

He's slaughtering my favorite song!

[willieluncheonette]

Great. Great. But let's not toss the Byrds' version into the dustpan. You do know, Punky Brewster, that the Byrds' version is probably one of the ten greatest rock songs ever.

This tears my heart out. He's like a shaman.

[Ebe Jeutter]
