Tonight on his "Late Night" show, Jimmy Fallon told Questlove that he thought Faith No More's remake of "Easy" was better than The Commodores' original.
Bollocks, I said!
So I followed Fallon's suggestion and checked out Faith No More's "Easy" clip on YouTube.
While I still think Lionel Richie's version with his buddies from Tuskegee is better, Faith No More's version is surprisingly good as they musically stayed true to the original version without doing the screaming, overblown, rock metal thing (i.e Limp Bizkit's "Faith")
However, the main reason why I thought The Commodores' "Easy" edged out Faith No More's version is due to one simple thing, the horns.
There's nothing like a old school horn section from the dirty south, giving a song that extra oomph!
Which version below do you like better?
