The Who Remixed By Slash And, Erm, will.i.am…

A remix of The Who classic ‘My Generation´ by will.i.am and
Slash made its debut on Sunday at Super Bowl XLV (sort of like the American FA
Cup, but longer and with more food).
While TG did not actually watch the game, we´re fairly sure 
- at least from the films that we´ve seen - that much blood was shed and that there 
were tears and glory of biblical proportions.
As always, just as much fuss was made about the half-time 
entertainment as the game itself and this year it was the turn of British rock 
legends The Who. As the small time-frame didn´t allow for a support act, 
Townshend and co warmed up the crowd with will.i.am´s remix of their classic 
‘My Generation´.
Fortunately for everyone involved, it´s also had Slash onboard 
and he whipped out a nice, crackly solo before the whole thing turned into a 
bizarre skank, slightly reminiscent of Guns N´ Roses´ cover of ‘Live And Let 
Die´.
You can hear it below (no proper video yet) and all proceeds 
from the sale of the remix go towards the Haitian earthquake appeal. Therefore 
if you do decide that you secretly quite like the track, you have a legitimate 
reason for buying it.
