The acoustic version of "Fucking Hostile" is part of a New Years Day EP
Guitarist Nikki Misery spoke in an interview about the criticism New Years Day Pantera cover . The acoustic version of "Fucking Hostile" is part of the EP * Diary Of A Creep* , released in January 2018.
“The funniest thing is that we did a cover of 'Hostile' and a lot of people went crazy for it,” he said. “At the same time, that’s rock and roll. Rock and roll is supposed to break the rules. I understand, too, because some of these bands and these songs have a special place in people’s hearts. So, seeing others play them, I understand, but I can’t help it. I’ll always be a rebel. I’ll always break some rules. If I shouldn’t do it, that’s when I’ll really want to do it.”
He said that Vinnie Paul, the drummer for Pantera, heard the band's version. "He loved it and gave his permission. So that's all the approval we need," he said.
