MGMT - Closer (NIN Cover)

Performed at Wesleyan University in 2003.
"A thundering synthesizer blared, and multicolored strobes came on. The beat skittered and hopped, the bass throbbed, and he, a shirtless guy with longish hair, began to sing. He had a good-not-great tenor, and the mic clipped a bit (it was, in fact, too hot). It didn’t take long for me to recognize the tune, more and more people began to catch on as the song progressed. It was, indeed, Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer.” Squeals of delight went up from the crowd as he approached the chorus. “I want to fuck you like an animal!” he snarled, “I want to feel you from the inside!” On the second go-round, everyone was chanting along, the song selection so obvious and therefore so perfect, since the exploration of the unspoken obvious was the theme of the night. At the end, we went absolutely wild (as though we already weren’t).
“Any idea who that guy was?” she shouted in my ear. “None,” I replied. Curious myself, I looked around the crowd for the people I’d originally come with, and spotted a friend some distance away. “Hold on, I’ll be right back.” I weaved and pushed my way through the mass of bodies, making no effort to avoid brushing skin on skin, and found him. “Hey,” I yelled, “any idea who that guy was?” He shrugged his shoulders. “None, pretty damn good, though.”

Surprisingly faithful cover.
Also: Dinosaur is a great addition.

[@420dopethrone]

not really surprising, but sure

[@tnetennba725_3]

Wow, I've only heard a few of their songs, but I've never heard them sound this dark and aggressive

[@tnetennba725_3]

And I've never heard the singer scream

[@PizzaLovingNerd]

They're not as aggressive but listen to the songs "Little Dark Age" and "When You Die".

[@tnetennba725_3]

I like Little Dark Age, but I've never heard the other one. I'll listen to it. Thanks for the recommendations :D

[@Spiyder11]
