Check out Soundgarden's performance on Letterman

Grunge veterans, Seattle's Soundgarden, are back with new album entitled King Animal (you can still stream it in its entirety along with new Deftones and How to Destroy Angels records here). It's interesting that even though it is their first new full-length studio album in long 15 years (last one was 1996's Down on the Upside), it is really good.

To promote their latest effort, they recently stopped by at New York’s Ed Sullivan Theatre to appear in the latest installment of the Live on Letterman online concert series.

Their ten-song setlist, which lasted almost one hour, included 7 tracks from King Animal, two from 1988's Ultramega OK and one tune from 1994's Superunknown.

Band also performed current single "Been Away For Too Long" for Late Show With David Letterman TV series. Check both performances below.

Song of the day: Jane's Addiction - "Sympathy for the Devil" (The Rolling Stones cover)

The Rolling Stones' track "Sympathy for the Devil", which comes from their 1968's Beggars Banquet, is true classic rock song. It has been covered by many artists all over the world.

However, nobody probably has covered it the way like Jane's Addiction recently did. They completely stripped it down to its basics. Perry Farrell's vocals alongside Dave Navarro's acoustic guitar fits this track perfectly.

Reason why Jane's Addiction did this is soundtrack for TV series Sons of Anarchy entitled Songs of Anarchy: Vol 2. You can listen to their cover along with complete soundtrack here (embed code wasn't working for some reason...).

Also, check out the original version of the track and decide which one is better.
