I do not like the treatment Axl gave to "Knockin On Heaven's Door". Sounds like he is having weird sex while he is singing.

Puff daddy's version of "Every breath you take" I hated that from the first time I heard it. If you want the video I'm sure it's on youtube but I just didn't have it in me to even look for it.

worst covers

Post by lynch1 »

there are lots of bad covers out there, but I will tell you what I like Disturbed's cover of Land of Confusion and Five Finger Death Punch version of Bad Co. those were both better than the originals imo.

I was watching the recent live video of Roger Waters with David Gilmour playing Comfortably Numb on You Tube and this video was listed along the side with additional related videos. I clicked on it and could not believe how bad it is.

I'm pretty sure they use this at the poison center to induce vomiting. The worst thing about hearing this is the fact that now I can never "un"hear it.

Limp Bizkit - "Behind Blues Eyes"

For how "tough" Limp Bizkit was, they completely skipped the "rock out" part of the song and did some record scratching bullshit instead.

Of course, it's not a sure thing that they would have got it right if they tried. Maybe they did and it was so horrible they just gave up.

Either way, they never should have covered it - total blasphemy.

I've heard the Scissor Sisters cover before, it's horrid. Slayer's cover of "Born to be wild" is blaphamy, as is Winger's cover of "Purple Haze".
Pour me another one, cause I'll never find the silver lining in this cloud.

I've got 2 entries:

1) "Simple Man" as done by Shinedown. He sings "All that I want from you my son, is to be satisified" instead of Skynyrd's "...want FOR you..." The line has a dramatically different meaning.

2) "Landslide" from Billy Corgan. 'nuff said on that one.

This cover song gets worse as it goes along

Sheryl Crow - Sweet Child O' Mine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4lSms1pokA

And this stinker won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance - go figure.

I would have to go with that video someone posted of 3 guys doing Sweet Child of Mine recently. That was the worst...ever.

98 Rock in Baltimore has been beating that song to death. I'm sick of hearing it, and I didn't think it was any good to begin with.

I hate when a radio station beats a song. That just makes me hate the song even more.
