Jay-Z Joins Linkin Park On Stage for Encore Jam

Tweet

After headlining a show at the Apple Store, Linkin Park broke out the big guns for their encore at last night's sold-out performance at Madison Square Garden. After a brief psych-out where the band announced "Goodnight, New York," Jay-Z stormed the stage to throw down with his collaborators from 2004's Collision Course EP. They performed two songs: "Numb" and a mash-up of LP's "Faint" with Jigga's "Jigga What, Jigga Who." Rock Daily was there with its trusty video camera to capture the latter, so check out the clip above.

“V.T.T.L.O.T.F.D.G.F.”

Fishbone | 1985

Quite a few musicians have utilized initials for song titles -- Michael Jackson's "P.Y.T.," Abba's "S.O.S.," Donald Fagen's "I.G.Y.," etc. But the more curiously initialed tune has to be "V.T.T.L.O.T.F.D.G.F.," short for "Voyage to the Land of the Freeze-Dried Godzilla Farts." Fishbone's original guitarist, Kendall Jones, explained to Rolling Stone, "When Norwood [Fisher] wrote it, he introduced it to the band saying, 'Man, I've been hearing about all these Nazi right-wing groups on the news saying the Holocaust was staged. So what if America said it never dropped two atom bombs on Japan, that it was actually Godzilla popping a couple off?' Only Norwood would come up with something that out." The same year "V.T.T.L.O.T.F.D.G.F." was released, the film Godzilla 1985 appeared in North America.
