Jimmy Fallon's version of SMTS....

So you're amazed as to how Dave's rhythm guitar slaps and strums so "perfectly"...but you can't. Ask all things about Dave and his guitars here.

Fallon is a huge fan of DAVE!

But that version of SMTS sucks.
I think he did covers of Dave previously.

Personaly, it wasn't funny, a little insulting (but he is a dmb fan, actualy), but just stupid . . . but most of everything on SNL nowadays is stupid, and not funny. The last truely good comedian on SNL was Will Farrell, and half the time he was on the show, the rest sucked. I have to say, after Mike Myers leaving SNl, it just went downhill. If only the old guys (minus John Bulushi, because he is dead, and Chevy Chase, because he is an ass to everyone and most of the time he was on, whenever he guest starred after he left, everyone hated to work with him, by their own words, there is a book about SNL that came out recently with tons of interviews, and most people hated working with him).


Anyways, he plays a very simple basic version of the song with the bass slide. And it was stupid.
Thanks for the snl history.

i just saw it and found it kinda funny. The guy is just trying to pay some homage to an amazing musician, dont fault him for that no matter how far off the original it is.
