Two of the biggest rules in rock music: Never play “Stairway to Heaven” at a guitar shop, and don’t try to cover Radiohead. Apparently, Pierce the Veil didn’t get the memo for the latter, and went ahead and recorded a cover of “Karma Police.”
Thankfully, Pierce the Veil didn’t turn Radiohead’s Ok Computer masterpiece into a pop-punk ditty or a metalcore anthem. Instead, they remain fairly faithful to the 1997 original, keeping it at the same tempo but infusing their version with heavy guitars and distortion. All the while, frontman Vic Fuentes delivers an impassioned vocal performance that adds a little emo vibe to the song.

“Kick your mind open like a punk-rock show/Uppercut bleeding through a softened nose/If you didn’t come home injured would you say it was a good show?” sings Pierce the Veil’s Vic Fuentes on “Pass the Nirvana,” the Nirvana-esque first single from their fifth album, The Jaws of Life.
For emo fans now moving into the “kids and mortgage” phase of their life, that line might conjure memories of throwing yourself into a Warped Tour mosh pit — or at least bring to mind more metaphorical coming-of-age cuts and bruises.

Soundgarden was scheduled to headline the musical event before the rocker's unexpected death on Wednesday night. Instead, fans were treated to a special tribute in honor of Cornell during the band's designated slot.
The tribute began with two side monitors showing a photo of Cornell singing onstage, with two animated candles on each side as "Hallelujah" played. The screens then showed a video of the singer performing a cover of John Lennon's "Imagine," followed by a photo montage of Cornell, as his voice blared through the stadium.
A video tribute was also shown and later shared on the festival's Facebook page.
