Worst Cover You've Ever Herd

[irockprettyhard]

Ten speed if i must then i must

[ant423]

Taking Back Sunday's medley of "Suburban Home" & " like Food" by the Descendents. The screaming makes my ears bleed...In a bad way.

Avril Lavinge has gotten a lot of mentions in this thread. Allow me to add "Knocking on Heaven's Door." Definitely worse than GNR's version.

Seether's "Careless Whisper." It's just odd.

Madonna's cover of "American Pie." What's the point of covering a song if you're gonna cut out half of it?

Evanescence covering STP's "Sex Type Thing" live. *Shudders*

[Vaultous93]

Mindless Self Indulgence's cover of "Tom Sawyer"
No, just no.

[JokerNation]

Dream Theater covering Metallica's Master of Puppets album.
I like Dream Theater, I like Master of Puppets, but together they just don't mix. James just can't sing like James.

OK. Judging by that logic, Siskel knew nothing of movies, among other examples.

Yeah man that one is horrible. But Kingston Wall is AWESOME! Everybody who doesn't listen to them get their albums NOW.

Kidz Bop and Avril Lavigne's Cover of Fuel - Metallica. *shudders*

[Cubecubed]

Sign covering "Run to the hills" on the Maiden Heaven tribute album.

[Lameboy19]

brokeNCYDE's cover of "Low" by Flo Rida (granted it was terrible to begin with but it just got unbareable)

also:
Anything off of Punk Goes Crunk (embarrassment to both hip-hop and so called "punk" music)
the Punk Goes... series is terrible all in all (Attack Attack! covering "I Kissed a Girl")

[Lolicat]

But punk covers of popular music are funny don't you know?

[Lameboy19]

maybe if it was actual Punk but having scene kids thinking there different because TDWP covered "Stay Fly" when it's still the commercialized bullshi* that is originally was, just pisses me off

[Alright_Computer]

This is just terrible. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyI11GhSMts) God, I really, really hate Velvet Revolver.

Until recently, I thought this was the worst Talking Heads cover. Then yesterday, I came across this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZrqXN6JZjs). I mean, the original is nowhere near Talking Heads' best songs, but the cover makes me want to cry. Now I'm going to need to listen to tons and tons of Talking Heads to erase it from my memory, and I've already been on a binge...

Fall Out Boy covering The Police's Roxanne: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuRK8qToFH8 (WARNING.......THIS ONE IS ESPECIALLY BAD LISTEN AT YOUR OWN RISK)

It's probably a bad thing that I didn't mind either of those?
Although they didn't touch the originals in either case.

I almost cried about halfway through.

I say Machine Head - Message in a Bottle (police cover). I like Machine Head but this cover was terrible.

Not a bad thing at all, I think broncosfan doesn't like fall out boy. Roxanne wasn't great, but I love their cover of love will tear us apart the drums fit very well and the vocals aren't bad

[afterstasis]

i'm still really upset about that talking heads cover... i never paid the used any attention, but i'm really upset about this.

Just make it stop.

[zack10house]

That whole album was disgusting.

I thought bits and pieces of it were quite good, and I thought Sign's Run To The Hill's was the best of the bunch. It was a different interpretation of the song, sure, but I loved it

'Johnny B. Goode'.

Judas Priest.

I-I...Why, Rob, why?!

Take. that. back.

Judas' rendition of Johnny B. Goode has one of the most epic choruses ever.

[Mega-Tallica]

Their covers were pretty good, they weren't the best but they worst.

I agree, Black Clouds & Silver Linings disc 2 had some good covers and take out James Labrie from their Pink Floyd covers and they were pretty good as well. Their only bad covers were when they covered the Master Of Puppets album.

[xX_Sandman_Xx]

'Johnny B. Goode'.

+

Judas Priest.

I-I...Why, Rob, why?!

I agree. I was watching a repeat of "That Metal Show" and Eddie Trunk mentioned how horrible it was as well.

[CyanFunk]

You know, when I looked that one up, I was thinking, "Hey, everyone makes 'Johnny B.' sound as awesome as the original. Judas Priest's version should be pure epicness!".

How very, very mistaken I was. Their Fleetwood Mac cover, on the other hand, was actually pretty decent.

[LightningBolt]

GNR has some crappy covers

*I'm well aware that this is an old post...

I have to agree. I'm a huge Guns N' Roses fan, but they miss the mark with a lot of their covers. I will give them props for changing their covers up when they do them, but some don't turn out great. "Live And Let Die" is awful. But "Knockin' On Heaven's Door", "Ain't It Fun", "Down On The Farm", and "Since I Don't Have You" are all good covers.

[Ultimatum]

I agree. I was watching a repeat of "That Metal Show" and Eddie Trunk mentioned how horrible it was as well.

Yeah, but Eddie Trunk likes all sorts of horrible music so his opinion really should be taken with a grain of salt.

yeah, Green Manalishi is pretty good played by Judas Priest, but Fleetwood Mac's version is still superior IMO

I've never thought L&LD was bad at all. I love all their covers, especially "Whole Lotta Rosie"!

[LightningBolt]

I've never thought L&LD was bad at all. I love all their covers, especially "Whole Lotta Rosie"!

Yeah, "Whole Lotta Rosie" from the recent Canada and Asia shows was great. Probably the best Axl has sounded since the early '90's.

Hope GnR comes to USA this summer.

Nickleback did a cover of Sad But True. I cried for weeks

[a21schizoidman]

Are you sure it's only the covers and not the hand?

i said "flapping" not "fapping", the latter usually makes other noises

Atreyu - You Give Love A Bad Name

Nickleback did a cover of Sad But True. I cried for weeks

Nickelback did a cover of 'Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)'.

I slit my wrists and shouted angrily at the heavens.

[Lameboy19]

Atreyu - You Give Love A Bad Name

why did you have to remind me of this! WHY!!!!


also Cannibal Corpse's version of Battery

[svartikins]

As my entries have already been posted, here's a joke entry:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z6oS1S_0zk

Note: It is not a bad cover. It is hilariously awesome. Just thought I'd clear that up.

[CyanFunk]

Atreyu - You Give Love A Bad Name

*To YouTube*

Hmm...Decent drums and guitar, interesting vocals, different take on the so-OH MY GOD, THE GROWLING! KILL IT! KILL IT!

[MrFruitLord]

*To YouTube*

Hmm...Decent drums and guitar, interesting vocals, different take on the so-OH MY GOD, THE GROWLING! KILL IT! KILL IT!

I only listened to a minute, but I didn't hear any Growling...

[BuRn7 CaK3]

why did you have to remind me of this! WHY!!!!

Blame the thread itself. I'm a fan of Atreyu. With that said, I can't stand that cover. It's funnier when on YouTube I said I was a fan, and I preferred the original over this.... and I get flamed for it. Saying I was wrong, and I know nothing. Considering Atreyu is pretty much mediocre, I still like the band. I just had to laugh at all of them. It was pretty sad.


*To YouTube*

Brandon actually does the vocals pretty good. But Alex ruined the song by screaming.

I only listened to a minute, but I didn't hear any Growling...

Screaming. Still.

NOTHING, I SAY NOTHING IS AS BAD AS THIS ONE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoL1L4ImtaY&feature=related#movie_player)

Hyperbole much? Musically fine for the most part (hell, it's a pretty literal cover outside of the chorus), but the vocals suck quite hardcore.

But still, this one comment was quite spot on:


1:28. hahah what the **** was that ****

edit: Nevermind, I just hit the solo. What the ****?

[SynesterSeX]

Not sure if I mentioned it already, but Children of Bodom's cover of Iron Maiden's The Trooper....

My ears cried themselves to sleep, slowly...painfully

I present to you people: The Pillows - Video Killed the Radio Star (youtube.com/watch?v=3P2WK3994uc)

Aerosmith - Come Together
Michael Jackson - Come Together
Goat Punishment (Weezer)'s concert of all Nirvana covers, great cause weezer, nirvana is the best but they kind of sucked at playing it

[CyanFunk]

Social Distortion's version of 'Ring of Fire'. Okay, I get it, John was huge to the alt. rockers. If you want to cover him, that's fine, but make sound, oh I dunno, a bit less like a generic punk song?



Michael Jackson - Come Together
I actually like that one.

[Wiiman95]

NOTHING, I SAY NOTHING IS AS BAD AS THIS ONE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoL1L4ImtaY&feature=related#movie_player)

I actually like Social D's cover. Sure, it's not as great as the original. It's still pretty good though.

That right there is a textbook case of epic fail. Speaking of epic fails, here's Fall Out Boy pathetically desecrating the most remedial song that Pantera ever recorded, enjoy.

Children of Bodom covering Rhianna was worse.

So they made a version of the song worse than the feces Kid Rock made with it.
