Please never include another song by Sweet

[GunnerMcGrath]

While fantastic and catchy cover versions of Ballroom Blitz have been recorded many times (many of us first heard it in Wayne's World), this band is F***ing AWFUL. I want to shoot myself in the head every time I have to listen to that clown impression they call singing. It's even worse when frustrated and pissed off by the difficulty of trying to play the drums on expert, you have to hear this douchebag's voice on top of it.

Please never use another song by this band EVER. This is one case where a cover that was not faithful to the original would be much preferred.

Can I get an "Amen"?

[DoctorWho]

You've got the Amen from me!

Speaking of Clown Impression type douchebag singing, NO MORE Fall Out Boy either... this Emo crap is about as whiney as it gets!

But yeah, no more Sweet would be a good thing.

[espher]

As the man in the back, I would like to counter these emo posts with a request for more Sweet (and more glam).

Can I get an OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH?

[capitalfn9]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

AMEN! Include Tia Carrere's version. SOOO MUCH BETTER. the sweet has the worst singer in all of music. I'm sorry to the fans of the sweet, but i just can't stand listening to it.

that song rules

[Xero314]

First of all it's "Sweet" not "The Sweet." (original thread title "Please never include another song by The Sweet") Second the record sales of Sweet seems to imply that alot of people enjoy the sound of sweet. Personally I would be happy if they released "Love is Like Oxygen" but there are certainly many other very good Sweet songs.

I assume the OP needs to head back down to his mom's basement and finish listening to the latest Nu Metal, but that's just a guess. (That's not to rip on Nu Metal as there are some Nu Metal Bands I like, as a matter of fact I'm still waiting for some Mudvayne)

[ThePaska]

that song rules

The song is awesome, I don't really know any other songs by them, I don't expect to see any more as DLC anyways.

[bounchfx]

stop complaining, it's an awesome song.

and talking like that rules, it wouldn't be half as fun with any other version!

[Magnet]

I thought the cover was fine. Not great, but far from awful.

Definatly No Fall ot boy ever we should just kill them they are no use to us anyway

[q445187]

The Krokus version is the best in my opinion & I would LOVE to have it here....

[Dissent]

I love the crazy "clown voice"! Great, high-strung rock. Sweet is plenty enjoyable.

But not really, he sounds more like he's being raped by a clown.

While I don't know Fall Out Boy's work apart from the song in Rock Band, if you're complaining about being emo, you should be complaining about Nirvana. Nirvana's music is orders of magnitude more emo than Dead on Arrival. If I never hear one more song with Kurt Cobain sounding like he's depressed and wants to shoot himself (ie: Heart-Shaped Box and In Bloom, among others), I will count myself a lucky man.

Say what you will about Dead on Arrival, but at least it's a fun, up-beat, punk song. That can't be said of Nirvana.

[SoKGiX]

uh yeah this version def sux. i don't really even like the song though.

lot of the bonus tracks are terrible too.

[Physic4lGr4fiti]

The difference between nirvanas music and any other *** emo band like fall out boys music is that he actually did shoot himself in the head, and everyone just wishes that falloutboy would shoot themselves in the head.

and seriously. Are you ready steeveee???

Great, after watching this I'll never make it through the song again without cracking up :p

The breakdown of communication in this thread is incredible. There are people arguing that the cover band sucks against people who like the band. What?

[Majic19]

If you think the drum sequence in Ballroom Blitz is fun, try "Into the Night" or "Sweet FA", both also off their first album.

The hilarious irony? I wonder if he notices this is a cover!

[Maggot_Brain]

Love is Like Oxygen for the win!

Falsetto vocals, crunchy guitar riff, etc .......

[Haruka]

Fox on the Run is probably my favourite Sweet song. And I think the cover band sucks, the original is much better, Rock Band's cover crosses the line to stupid during the high bits.

Sweet's cover of <a href = "http://youtube.com/watch?v=XkhJA0oYa3g">Peppermint Twist</a> is pretty fun too. Yeah I hope we get more Sweet songs (but originals not substandard covers)
