I remember some band came out with their version of Michael's Jackson "Beat It" sometime ago. Or maybe a few years before. I don't know. But what I know is guitar players (shredders especially) facepalmed themselves repeatedly cause they think John Mayer ruined the shred-y solo that Van Halen originally played. Others moaned in dismay just because it's Fall Out Boy.
But then came December 8, 2009. These critics learnt that they are gonna get what they ask, in lethal dose. Somehow, somewhere.. Yngwie Malmsteen answered their prayers while eating his daily intake of Big Macs, or maybe just some fuckin' donuts. I don't know which. I found out today that last December, Yngwie came up with another compilation album again and in it, there's a cover of "Beat It". Taken from wikipedia, it says there that this is one of his "most masterful performances since 1993".
I wasn't planning on writing today but this shit is just too funny. I was laughing like it was Comedy Central right here at my apartment. Dear guitar players, will you side with Yngwie, or Van Halen?
Brace yourself, cause here it comes. "Beat It" by the Viking himself.
