Royal Thunder’s MIny Parsonz, Against Me!’s Atom Willard, Kvelertak’s Maciek Ofstad, Red Fang’s Aaron Beam and Two Minutes to Late Night’s Gwarsenio Hall have returned with their latest cover, Rolling Stones’ “Rocks Off.” Two Minutes To Late Night sticks to much of the original’s sound, however it features a slight metal twist.
The cover features much of Rolling Stones’ original enthusiasm, with a slight metal edge during the bridge. “What’s the matter with the boys who are back in town,” Two Minutes To Late Night said in the video description. “We covered a really groovy straight-edge anthem (lol jk) for you buttheads.”
The socially-distanced cover arrives as Two Minutes To Late Night’s 38th performance made via the support of Patreon. The band had initially hinted toward the cover on Instagram yesterday, telling fans, “Get your rocks off tomorrow at 9:30 am EST or watch this cover right now by becoming a Patreon Patron! A monthly donation of $5 or more gets you early access to every video we make and more!”
Two Minutes To Late Night have hosted a slew of covers throughout the pandemic, gathering artists from all different bands all around the world and performing in their bedrooms, studios, living rooms, on the beach, or wherever else.
Recent Two Minutes To Late Night covers have included a ‘90s club songs medley, Pantera’s “Mouth for War,” the Ghostbusters theme song and Elton John’s “Stab Into Christmas.” The parody late night metal show has also been releasing their quarantine covers as EPs on Bandcamp’s monthly fee-free Fridays, which occur on the first Friday of every month.
Two Minutes To Late Night has also covered Van Halen, AC/DC, Bruce Springsteen, Guns N Roses, Rush, Misfits, Rage Against The Machine, Billy Idol, Fleetwood Mac, Soundgarden, Tom Petty, King Diamond, Ozzy Osbourne and much more throughout the pandemic.
