We're not sure how he does it, but Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo (aka The Bloody Beetroots) is the only cat in the electronic music scene who can do tracks with Sir Paul McCartney and the one and only Tommy Lee and it not seem weird. At the end of the day, though, this is all about adrenaline. Bloody Beetroots know how to rock, and Tommy Lee is livest drummers known to man, so when these two link up for the visual representation of Hide's "Raw," you get an intense performance piece, finding two artists locking into a groove and playing the fuck out of it.
This clip was directed by Agata Alexander, who also did Destructo's "Higher" video. It's dope to see Tommy Lee rock with the electronic-leaning groove, but urging Bob to turn the fuck up (in a rock way, of course). We can only hope that Tommy joins Bob at some of these upcoming Bloody Beetroots LIVE dates:
