Watch Bob Mould Absolutely Kick Ass On Kimmel

Bob Mould on Kimmel

The former Hüsker Dü/Sugar frontman Bob Mould is a punk rock legend, and it turns out that he’s also really, really great at performing on late-night TV talk shows. Remember when he ripped through “I Don’t Know You Anymore” on Conan? Jesus. Ridiculous. Last night, Mould was on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and he once again rocked hard enough that I’m worried he’s going to break something one of these days. Mould usually plays with Superchunk drummer Jon Wurster, but last night, he had a ringer behind him, as Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins filled in. (Split Single frontman Jason Narducy, Mould’s usual bassist, was in his regular role.) On the show proper, Mould played “The War,” a song from his recent album Beauty & Ruin. And as an online bonus, he also did “Hey Mr. Grey.” He absolutely destroyed both times, and it’s an absolute pleasure to see what this guy can do at this stage of his career. Watch it below, and be impressed. Also, check out Mould’s forthcoming tour dates.
