Jimmy Eat World members Jim Adkins and Zach Lind finally see the video of Prince covering the band's biggest hit, 'The Middle.' Here's how that went.
"And I'm a big fan of your work as well. So for years, I've been waiting for that bootleg to end up online. A couple of months ago, it appeared online. I have it on my phone."It's fun to see Adkins' expressions as he listens.
When the Rock Sounds guy points out that Prince"plays around with those lyrics" during the lengthy instrumental intro, Adkins says,"He wants to scat some new stuff, that's totally fine. He gets a pass." When the singing does start, you can clearly see how stoked the singer is to hear his lyrics coming out of Prince's mouth. Friends and bandmates share storiesThe video ends with Adkins comparing the drum accents to"Wait" by the Danish glam-metal band White Lion and Lind suggesting,"We can do a cover of Prince doing a cover of our song."
In 2009, by which point Taylor Swift had lip-synced the song in an Apple Music ad, Adkins talked about how it feels to see his music embraced by legendary acts."Hearing that Prince had covered it at whatever Grammy afterparty he did or Taylor Swift hand-picking it to use for an Apple commercial? It’s like what?! What is that? I don’t know. I still freak out anytime I hear ‘The Middle’ or anything we've done, like, on the radio.
