They totally nail the song and it sounds way better than the original.

Check out the cover of the song if you have never heard it before!

Does anyone know how to play this acoustically, I heard a local band do it and it does rock!! I've been looking and can't find it anywhere.

Keller came to Bend, or. probably a year ago. He played after some of my friends who have a bluegrass band. His show was just nuts. He had a bass, guitar, 12 string, drums and another mic for voice overs. They were all set up to just walk up to them and play(i.e. guitars on stands, santana style) He went from instrument to instrument just layin' shit down until the song was just groovin and then he'd sing over it.
Talk about Double decker double wide, keller is almost timmy-like in a way.

"Be Quiet and Drive," by Deftones, Incubus, and Adam Sandler.

I think it was on the Little Nicky soundtrack.
