For some twisted reason, I like this. I'm not not a Fall Out Boy fan, and Mayer is a dope. But this? Makes me grin. If you have any doubts that history will remember Michael Jackson very, very well, here's proof that it's already happening.

It's a good thing FOB has some previous hits or they'd be labelled the next Alien Ant Farm. Like AAF, FOB does a nice job of rocking out a good MJ tune, but I predict this "Beat It" will get WAAAAAYYYYY too much air time ala "Smooth Criminal." I'm guessing Mayer's laying down the sweet guitar licks...he's a talented plucker.

When your own guitarist can't play the guitar on your records, bad sign? Unless this was for star power, in which case I take it back. I actually really like FOB (guilty pleasure?) and this rendition is pretty sick for a cover. But yeah. Who'd've thought JM was such a talented guitarist?

Why do I feel like I'm listening to David Cook's future CD?
It's all right. But as far as MJ covers go I am still righteously diggin' "Billy Jean" by Chris Cornell.
John Mayer? peh!
