Listen: Glitch Mob Remixes Metallica’s “Lords of Summer” for 2015 X Games

I didn’t know that the X Games were still a thing, or that they have headliners, for that matter. But these are both facts! And this year’s headliners are going to be Metallica. And what better way to promote the band’s appearance at this event than with a remix of the newish ‘Tallica tune “Lords of Summer” by electronic trio Glitch Mob?

I’m kidding, of course. There are probably a billion better ways to promote the band’s appearance. Although I am writing about it now, so maybe I’m dead wrong.

ANYWAY, this actually isn’t that bad — in fact, I think I prefer it to Metallica’s original. Maybe I’m just more forgiving of electronic music than I am of metal or rock in general, or maybe I just really like Glitch Mob, ’cause I enjoyed their White Stripes/”Seven Nation Army” re-mix, too.

Listen to the Glitch’d version of “Lords of Summer” below. The X Games will take place in Austin, TX on June 6.
