Holy ****...that is one of the most painful things I've ever heard. I can do better than that on any of their instruments and a few more...

The Clapton cover is just as good.
Hate you for posting, I'ma going all Syd Barrett between the ears.
First youtube comment:
"Actually I'm not sure if you people are joking. This band is one of my favorite Avant-Garde-style Prog Rock bands. Notice how they manage to stay close with the polyrhythmics (the guitarist plays a quarter note before the bassist and changes to higher tempo in the solo, the drummer and rhythm guitarist play in 7/8 and 9/8 for each two bars, etc), and every bar the time signature changes (4/4 in the first bar but then suddenly 15/16, 5/4, 33/32, 13/16 and so on, respectively). The singer also adds psychedelia to the song by singing also the delay vocals. The backing vocals in the second verse are changed to make fascinating dissonance with the dominant key. Also notice that the drummer uses only the ride cymbal throughout the song, which shows his technical virtuoso abilities. After the solo, the singer modulates his singing 3/4-step up, which makes reference to arab music, but the band stays the same. Truly, I find these guys so pioneering, they're like 20 years ahead of their time."
It's like an art critic praising a toddlers finger painting like it's a brilliant groundbreaking masterpiece.
