Appetite18 Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 So what cover songs are just really terrible?Limp Bizkit-Behind Blue Eyes-At first, I thought this would be decent but then that electronic thing or whatever the fuck it is enters and Fred Durst has successfully destroyed a classic Who song. My Chemical Romance-Under Pressure-The vocals are just awful. Sheryl Crow-Sweet Child of Mine-Obviously. Celine Dion-You Shook Me All Night Long-Ok, she must have known this would not have worked yet she did it anyway. The worst on here. GNR-Live and Let Die-GNRs most overrated song. No its not awful and its better than the other four but I hate Axls vocals on it and didn't feel they did anything special to it, like they did with KOHD.

Gillian Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Not one anyone else would have herad but its bugging me.......Sweet Chold O' Mine done by a band at my Grad/Prom (call it whatever depending on where you live). I hated it although everyone else thought it was really good.(I would feel bad if there is someone on this forum from that band)I actually like Live and Let Die Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santana Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 NOFX- Last Caress. This say that this cover is terrible and that it completely disgusts me, would be the biggest understatement ever. I can not put into words how terrible this version is. What in the fuck was Danzig thinking when he signed off on this?311- Lovesong. Complete shit. They raped a great song. If you want to hear a good cover of this song, check out Snake River Conspiracy's version.A Perfect Cirlce- Imagine. One of the greatest songs ever... until these fucktards had a go at it. This cover is a complete abomination. This cover makes me ashamed to be alive. I seriously get embarassed for these guys everytime I hear this song. For years, Yoko Ono neve let anyone cover this song, but for some reason she let this go. Yoko should be shot and burried in the same mass grave as A Perfect Circle for letting this happen. John Cale- Heartbreak Hotel. If a song was made popular by a man known as "The King" don't try and cover it. You're going to fail miserably.

I thought that the first few times I heard that too. But it does grow on you after a while, it's a very different take on one of the most classic tracks of all time, which I think is why it get's a lot of people simply going "what thefuck do they think they're doing?".It's still not as good as the original though. But then I don't think anyone could better Lenon's version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wager Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Avril Lavigne - KOHDVelvet Revolver - BodiesScissor Sisters - Comfortably NumbMotley - Anarchy In The UK (When will people learn not to touch pistols stuff, see VR)VR - It's So Easy, obv fine apart from Weiland.Nirvana & Pearl Jam - My Sharona, NO NO NO NO NO!Tom Jones - Mama Told Me (Not To Come)For a start, that last one when done by Three Dog Night sounds like it was done in a WMC, and sounds fucking great. Tom Jones... no fella, don't touch.Marilyn Manson - Personal Jesus. Fair enough, he did great jobs of Tainted Love (in itself a song covered many times from the original 50's R&B version), and Sweet Dreams (Eurythmics) but this just failed miserably for me.Boogie Pimps - Somebody To Love - Never, ever, ever rip off Jefferson Airplane! EVERSome Random Dance DJ Bloke - Poison - Yes, if you haven't heard it, ripped off Cooper's poison and made into the summer dance track for Chavs..Some Random Dance DJ Bloke - SCOM - Worst Version Ever. If I can dig it up i'll post on here for those that haven't heard it, I can't explain the wimpy vocals, but they are just ssssooooo fucking wrong.

Yamisonic Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 I think that when bad bands (Limp Bizkit, Avril Lavigne) do covers of classics, people start insulting them and such. Yeah, they completely raped song rights (now people believe they wrote it) and performed it badly. But after all, some of the best writers in the world made the song, and no one, not even them, can make it sound SO bad. People say they suck because now they take the credit for writing the song, which sucks bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyman Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 (edited) GNR-Live and Let Die-GNRs most overrated song. No its not awful and its better than the other four but I hate Axls vocals on it and didn't feel they did anything special to it, like they did with KOHD.Holy shit...listen to GnR playing it on the 2002 tour...shit that has to be the best song they played. Axl's vocals on that song are almost perfect.Edit: Example A Edited May 29, 2005 by Crazyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
