Between the Buried and Me played New England Hardcore Fest last Friday. Not only did they play their wonderful proggy goodness for all to enjoy, but they also played a very special cover. Now cover songs aren't all that surprising when it comes to Between the Buried and Me, I mean they did a whole album of covers. But this was different...
They covered Bohemian Rhapsody. Bohemian. Fucking. Rhapsody. By Queen.
This is the song from Waynes World dammit. The movie that introduced me to the concept of headbanging.
Metal Blade uploaded this "Live Bootleg" to Youtube today, which makes it an "Official Bootleg" if those are still something that exists. Though you'd hope that an "Official Bootleg" would be something more than some jerk standing in the crowd with a camera, this is what we've got to work with.
Being an asshole aside, this is a great cover that has enough of Between the Buried and Me mixed in with Queen's stellar original to be something really special.
Between the Buried and Me are releasing a new album, Coma Ecliptic, in July of this year.
