Angel says: this song shows how much af a bunch of novices you guys are and also proves that as much as you so called dislike the way the music buisiness is run that you immediatly went to cover a song that you think mj isnt gonna get the money from !! it proves that you guys are as much of a bunch of sellouts as any other poptart bands your in the same category as hansen and new kids!.. and you think your different. now your promoting a song because you know the publicity from mj death gives you a reason to do so. i respect the money making tactic but dont think your on higher ground because of it. thats my opinion from one nobody to another.
bobnkel says: been tell’n ya fatty…rockband & guitar hero …it’s a HOOT & a great way to reach the masses..fuck the radio…sorry for the language folks
bobnkel says: oh ya & Z …that pic of you in the top right corner of this page…YUM F @ # K ‘n YUM
Commandante Zero says: Angel, mi amigo, you forgot to mention that the vocals are akin to nails on a chock board too…
Ed says: Hey Angel, it sounds like you need to go out and treat yourself to a bigger dildo.
Beth says: I knew those Dandy Warhols were just waiting for Michael Jackson to keel over so they could rake in the dough. I knew it all along! Kudos for pointing it out, Angel!
gothman says: Hmmm, someone just watched Dig for the first time. (Psst, it’s the grumpy fucker.)
Howrd says: hahaha! i hope Angel likes junk mail. gonna make good use of that email address. fuck these guys, i love this version. its nicely understated which shows off of the amazing chord progression. some info on the vocal would be sweet though. curious is all.
also are some of these comment bits limited to 18?
cb says: 
my “…are sound” didn’t come with blackbird.
BertL says: cb,
Have you ordered Are Sound before Blackbird was released? Because I did that, and later I got an email with a free download link for Blackbird in it. 
Btw, on the Dandy Warhols’ twitter they said that it’s actually Courtney singing here and not Z.
