The acoustic hero has put his guitar to work on some classic rock tracks as well as hardcore rap in a parody infomercial on the Tonight show with Jimmy Fallon. Ed plays short covers of ‘Run to the hills‘ and ‘Break stuff‘ as samples for his new ‘Ed Sheeran sings Heavy Metal‘, which we think are absolutely brilliant. The infomercial is presented by an in character Jimmy Fallon who also announces tracks from Pantera to Lamb of God, which makes us at Rebellious Noise start to wish this album wasn’t just a parody! But at least we get the Iron Maiden and Limp Bizkit ‘tasters’. An exclusive bonus album of ‘Ed Sheeran sings Hardcore Rap‘ is also promised to the customer featuring a Ty Dolla $ign cover.
So here it is, Ed Sheeran doing covers you didn’t think you’d be seeing when you woke up this morning. We think our readers will enjoy this one;
