Future User have unveiled a new video for 'Mountain Lion', featuring disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong. Watch the video below.
A project from Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave's Tim Commerford, the new band are making viral waves early on, featuring John McEnroe in their first video, and now Armstrong in their second.
The clip for the visceral single features a skateboarder riding on what is presumedly performance enhancing drugs, something which no doubt hits close to home to Armstrong who was apprehended for the use of the substances in the past. Commeford however insists that the video's message is actually about misplaced outrage over the taking of performance enhancing drugs.
Armstrong himself then appears in the video, reenacting his trash talking samples with Commerford over the phone.

Speaking about the cameo, Commerford told Rolling Stone: "Lance is a friend, an awesome person and, as far as I'm concerned, a punk rocker," he said. "We're 'cycling buddies' and kind of go after each other in a trash-talking."
"We'll jokingly leave each other voice messages like, 'Dude, I'm gonna crush you the next time I see you. I'm gonna take you down.' I thought it'd be cool to put one of his voice messages in the song.... When it came time to make the video, I asked him to recreate the voicemail and he was totally cool with it."
