Linkin Park 'do' 'Rolling in the Deep'.

Last night at the iTunes Festival, Chester from Linkin Park took the opportunity to show off his vocal skills and perform a cover of Adele's hit single, 'Rolling in the Deep'. If you've never heard this song, you have obviously been underground/under a rock (etc) because it has been everywhere. Glee covered it, not that I watch Glee, but the point is, Glee covered it so everyone loves it. Even before it was on Glee, it was on the radio every 10 minutes and used in every other advert. So, it's a pretty big surprise that a band like Linkin Park would cover it. They famously denied their 'nu-metal' label and kind of disappeared for a bit. I'm fairly certain their back though, and if not anything, this cover will certainly gain them some new fans in the way of angsty 'Gleeks' ready to 'tear away from the mainstream'.

One thing is for certain, there was never any doubt that Chester could probably sing better than Adele anyway. Just go ahead, take yourself back to your early-teens and embrace it.


Edit: You can now download Linkin Park's version of 'Rolling in the Deep' from iTunes for 99p.
