Contrast this with his reaction to T-Pain's cover of War Pigs

Holy fuck, every member of that band truly understood the assignment. That guitarist and drummer though… that was amazing. Thank you for posting this, my day is better for having watched it.

His cover of Tennessee Whiskey is worth the price of admission. The rest is just gravy
