I wonder how much money MIA had to pay the band Suicide for using Suicide's music to "Johnny"


(The rolling stones had to pay KD land about a million for using the sound to KD's "Constant Craving" in the stone's "Anybody seen my baby" song.)

MIA performed this song on Letterman last night. Martin Rev from Suicide was part of the band. 😲

Part of the song licensing agreement perhaps? Wonder if this version of the song has kindled any interest in Suicide from the younger crowd

I doubt that. Probably just a good idea one of them came up with.

The song is killer though. I really like it and it's a great use of the riff. Really booming intro with the drums.

As for the "younger" crowd getting into Suicide more, that could be a possibility.
