WORST COVERS OF GOOD SONGS

[songsmith]

Oh man, BDRob, I feel the same way about Ben Stiller movies. The protagonist (Stiller) always has to put up with so much more than is believeable before they cut him some slack, and he gets the girl. It's funny to some people, but it's too formula for me. I like him better as the bad guy, like Dodgeball.------------>JMS

I think the worst cover of a good song is:

Guns and Roses cover of "Knocking on Heaven's Door" by Dylan.

the band actually does a good job but I would rather chew aluminum foil than listen to Axl destroy those lyrics.

Axl did heavans door better than dylin ever could.. Axl is fukin awesum!! and kewl! NEVER herd him do a bad tune!!!c EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVER!!!!!!! NEVER!!

one of a handful best LEADS in RNR!!! EVER!!!

who you kiddin????

kewl, sweeeet.....when you read these posts just think Cartman's voice. Try it.

Mistress, you're dead on. Bizkit's cover of "Faith" was what broke them huge and set up their run at the top (however undeserved).

Thanks Kevin. I wasn't sure on who did the song. After I posted I found where I had seen it. (someone mentioned it on Metal Sludge) I got to the screaming part and just couldn't stand it.

Shine Down - Simple Man. They totally killed that song .. And although I don't like Axle Rose, his cover of "Knockin On Heavens Door" was better than Dylan could ever do. Then Dylan is one of the worst singers ever ..

This may not be a popular choice , but "Last Kiss" by Pearl Jam....

The thing made me cringe from start to finish.

I can't stand the Ozzy/Coal Chamber cover of Shock The Monkey. Yuck.

[ZappasXWife]

Then Dylan is one of the worst singers ever ..

Well I just don't know what to say

Bizkit's cover of "Faith"

Fbooth LOVES that, just ask him

You cannot dis the Bobster Zimmerman or the Zappa to Misstress Zappita and get away with it.

I must agree that Sheryl Crowe is bad and so are all her cover tunes. She can't sing live at all and she is always flat. It is hard to believe she was a backup singer for Michael Jackson at one time.

Korn's version of 'Another Brick in the Wall' YUK!

This may not be a popular choice , but "Last Kiss" by Pearl Jam....

The thing made me cringe from start to finish.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks this. With as much money as Eddie Veddar has right now, he should take a few bucks and invest in some vocal lessons. I always thougt that Pearl Jam was overrated anyways. They're just another Rock band, never understand why people act like their cultural icons.

And while we're discussing songs butchered by Fred Durst, brace yourself: I heard a Limp Bizkit cover of Home Sweet Home (Motley Crue) and Bittersweet Symphony (The Verve) on the radio the other day. Behind Blue Eyes sounds like a brilliant interpratation compared to this turd. Even the DJ was making fun of it afterwards. Leave it to Fred to not only butcher one but two awesome songs in four minutes. It has to be heard to be believed. I'd be embarassed to release it.

I could probably write a dissertation on this subject, but I think the WORST cover ever was The Party's dance cover of Dokken's "In My Dreams".

... and then there is the eclectic cover of "Iron Man" performed by The Cardigans. I'm not sure what to think about that one!
