Fall Out Boy featuring John Mayer – “Beat It”

Posted by McDeeJay on March 31, 2008

Yes, it’s a cover of Michael Jackson’s song “Beat It.” Normally I don’t think MJ would’ve OK’ed the cover but he needs the cash. The song is the only studio recorded track off of FOB’s new CD “Live in Phoenix,” which is available April 1st. You can hear the song all over SIRIUS Hits 1, and I personally LOVE IT. It makes me want to break shit and play air guitar like I’m destroying a tune on Rock Band. Plus, it showcases how badass John Mayer’s guitar playing is. He might just be the best guitar player of my generation. The song is available now to buy digitally, but decide whether the purchase is worth it for yourself and take a listen @ MySpace.com/FallOutBoy
