P.O.D.'s MARCOS CURIEL Explains Decision To Cover THE BEATLES' 'Don't Let Me Down'
 P.O.D. guitarist Marcos Curiel has explained the San Diego hard-rock/nu metal veterans' decision to record and release their cover of THE BEATLES classic "Don't Let Me Down". In a short video message released today (Tuesday, October 7),Marcos said: "A lot of people are curious to why we chose to do a cover version of 'Don't Let Me Down' by THE BEATLES. It's pretty simple. As cliché as it may sound, we're BEATLES fans. Who isn't a BEATLES fan? I'm pretty sure you're out there, and a lot of it would be because you just don't know who THE BEATLES are, and if you do, maybe just don't get it. But we love THE BEATLES, so we thought it'd be kind of cool to do our version of 'Don't Let Me Down'."
He continued: "It's always been there. Even way back when we did the U2 cover of 'Bullet The Blue Sky', it was always in the back of our heads, like, 'Dude, we should do a cover of 'Don't Let Me Down' by THE BEATLES, do our version, obviously, our interpretation.' So that's pretty simple. I mean, we did it 'cause we love it. And we're fans of music, and we're never gonna stop being fans of music. So we hope you dig it, like we do."
When P.O.D.'s version of "Don't Let Me Down" was first released last month, Curiel said in a statement: "As cliché as it may sound, we've always admired THE BEATLES from the very beginning of our songwriting journey. Their melodies, the hooks, and fearless experimentation inspired us to craft our own take on the classic 'Don't Let Me Down', with nothing but the utmost respect. Thank you for helping lay the foundation of what we all know today as rock 'n' roll, pop and metal."
P.O.D.'s version of "Don't Let Me Down" came as the band geared up for a huge fall 2025 run across North America, joining DAUGHTRY and SEETHER on tour. Curiel was raring to get back on stage, commenting: "Touring is a gift, a blessing to share P.O.D.'s music live with the world. Absolutely nothing compares to the energy of a crowd feeling and vibing every note. We're ecstatic to join an amazing lineup that embodies the true essence of rock 'n' roll fusing the familiar with the new — a real evolution. We are proud to be part of it. Let's jam, let's sing, let's rock."
The trek kicked off October 1 in Virginia Beach and will run through mid-November, hitting major cities across the U.S.
P.O.D. joined U.S. hard rockers GODSMACK as special guests on their March/April 2025 European tour. The trek kicked off on March 22 with a sold-out show at the Sofia Arena in Bulgaria and then made stops in Romania (Bucharest),Hungary (Budapest),Poland (Gliwice),Austria (Vienna),Croatia (Zagreb),Czech Republic (Prague),Germany (Munich, Berlin, Offenbach),U.K. (London),Belgium (Brussels),before finishing with two shows in Germany, Hamburg, and finally April 12 at the Turbinenhalle in Oberhausen.
In May last year, P.O.D. released its 11th album, "Veritas", via Mascot Records. The album was a Top 10 hit across the U.S. Billboard Current Hard Rock, Current Rock, and Current Alternative album charts, and has already surpassed 48 million streams.
P.O.D. has released several singles from the album including "Drop", "Afraid To Die", "I Got That" and "I Won't Bow Down".
"Drop" features a vicious vocal feature from LAMB OF GOD singer Randy Blythe, while the equally eruptive single "Afraid To Die" features JINJER vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk.
As well as releasing "Veritas", P.O.D. has toured with SKINDRED, who between them brought the party in a major way to the U.K. They bulldozed through Europe with euphoric festival sets at Graspop Metal Meeting, Summerside and Rock For People. They supported MUDVAYNE, took on their blistering U.S. "I Got That" headline tour with special guests BAD WOLVES and NORMA JEAN, and festival stops at Louder Than Life, Aftershock, Sonic Temple, Welcome To Rockville and made waves on the ShipRocked cruise. They spent October 2024 touring Latin America, playing Knotfest and headline shows in Brazil as well as shows in Chile, Colombia and Mexico.
