Flaming Lips Remix NBC Theme With Hilarious Guitar

At the beginning of this behind-the-scenes clip, Wayne Coyne recounts the Lips' history of being asked to do absurd things. That's how they ended up playing The Peach Pit in the OG 90210, and it's why they'll be returning to... CONTINUE READING FLAMING LIPS REMIX NBC THEME WITH HILARIOUS GUITAR»

The Who Hate Each Other, Various People Cover The Who

We've written plenty about VH1's "Rock Honors." The Foo Fighters and Gaz Coombes' take on "Bargain" wasn't exciting. The Flaming Lips' practice footage was, relatively speaking.
