nameless_girl Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I can't stand Avril.But if you think that's as bad as it gets, try listening to it in addition to the Don't Cry cover by some R&B band and that Sweet Child O' Mine rape by Sheryl Crow. Oh woe, why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nameless_girl Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 (edited) why? because those artists like GNR and wanna give a nod to their influence...No. I tend to dislike covers in general, but if an artist decides to cover a song because they think they can artistically add to it, then - of course - I may like the result. But Avril's cover doesn't only "add" nothing whatsoever to the song, but even takes away a lot of its charm. I hate it when people take someone else's work and butcher it, it's terribly unfair.

But she did badly cover a Dylan song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like her cover of KOHD because it's a Dylan-esque version and she has a nice voice. It's a plain cover, but the girl's only 21.And how is it a bad cover? She's a decent singer and the guitar is good. It's not bad at all. Edited October 5, 2006 by adnan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention that I think that one should opt to do a "professional" cover only when they think they can add something to the song.

moreblack Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 And I already said it was for a Charity Album, for a cause she was happy to help. As for the awkwardness, everyone does that song different. From U2 and GNR to Bon Jovi, and anyone else who has ever played that song they always sounded like themselves playing that song. Avril is no different, she had no plans of sounding like anything other than herself.Not to mention that I think that one should opt to do a "professional" cover only when they think they can add something to the song.And obviously Avril and a shitload of other artists don't share your vision. But they are the ones doing it, and it's their choice to cover whatever song it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she sounded like herself and by doing so somehow added to the song, now that would be a different matter. Of course, it's great that she did some charity work - really - but she could have gone about that in so many other ways that do not involve butchering a beautiful song.

Inverted Mind Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Why the "NOOOOOOOOO" bullshit?! She just covered a song that Guns happen to have covered before hand, and it's not like she tried to rip Guns off or anything! Apart from that, it wasn't too bad.One time I was watching some rock chick thing on much more music (canadian music channel) and she said something about doing it because of guns. It was the first song she learned on guitar or something.Not completely sure.Anyway she's a fuckin beauty . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
