The musicians then powered through an emphatic rendition of “When the Levee Breaks,” with Farrell handling vocals while Corgan joined on guitar. We want to do a proper Chicago song for you together, is that cool?” “We have a very dear friend, Billy Corgan, that we got together. Listen to Thou’s cover below, via Revolver, and check out the video for the Alice In Chains original.“I love you all, Chicago,” Farrell declared to the crowd. Today, we get to hear them doing a nasty, squalid, charged-up take on the Dirt opener “Them Bones.” They do it justice.
Thou have actually covered Alice In Chains before, and their version of “No Excuses” rips.
It’ll feature bands from across the underground metal landscape - Khemmis, High Priest, -(16)- taking on every song from AIC’s beloved 1992 LP Dirt. Later this week, Magnetic Eye will release the new compilation Dirt (Redux). Today, we get to hear Thou’s version of an Alice In Chains classic. Good taste! They crushed all of them, too. Just in the past few months, Thou have covered Black Sabbath on a Sabbath tribute compilation, Bad Religion on the benefit comp Shut It Down, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs on our very own Save Stereogum: An ’00s Covers Comp. Pretty soon, Thou will have enough material for another one of those collections. Thus far during quarantine, Thou have released two collections of covers: Blessings Of The Highest Order, which is all Nirvana songs, and A Primer Of Holy Words, which is all covers of people who are not Nirvana. And Thou have also remained busy covering other people’s music. Judging by first single “ Ancestral Recall,” this thing should absolutely rule. Right now, Thou are getting ready to release May Our Chambers Be Full, a collaborative album with Emma Ruth Rundle. Right now, the Louisiana sludge overlords Thou are on a crazy run.
