Worst Cover You've Ever Herd

[Buffdog18]

Just say what it is.

I'm gonna with this.

Cradle of Filth: Hallowed Be Thy Name

[back_blows]

All of Cradle of Filth's covers are horrible. It's pretty hard to just pick one.

[Teh_Jakester]

The cover of Lonely is the Night in GHERT80s. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zuU7LPt7C0)
Honestly, forget bad artists covering a good song. This is a professional studio who have done some good covers making fools out of themselves. Really, for a project like this, you think they'd post an ad for someone who sounds close to the guy.
Plus, they also ruined the most important part for the game: the guitar. The tone is just horrible.

Well I actually like their cover of The Necromancer, but that is about it

[MronoC]

The first one to come to mind was Adam Lambert's "Ring of Fire", but Hillary Duff's cover of "My Generation" is probably worse.

"I hope I don't die before I get old"? At this level of missing the point,why ever bother doing the cover?

[Teh_Jakester]

The first one to come to mind was Adam Lambert's "Ring of Fire"

Ring of Fire was good. Whole Lotta Love and Cryin' were the ones that sucked. And every song Allison and Megan did.

[MronoC]

Ring of Fire was good. Whole Lotta Love and Cryin' were the ones that sucked. And every song Allison and Megan did.

I have no idea who those people are, I haven't watched the show since Melinda Doolittle was kicked off two seasons ago, she's the only singer on the show I've really ever been impressed by. I'm just aware of the "Ring of Fire" cover from being directed to a youtube video.

Oh, I see. Anyway, when I first heard the Ring of Fire cover, I was like "... what the fu-", and then I rewound and watched again, and realised that, while being different (CULTURE SHOCK different), it's pretty cool, if you don't think "there is only one way to play this song"/listen with an open mind.

Justin Hawkins' cover of This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92mQYENVjEI)

I don't mind the arrangement being different, his version just lacks any of the energy or emotion of the original.

I still don't get what it is that people hate about this cover, aside from classic rock hipsters with hard-ons for AC/DC being predisposed against Celine Dion. I fully understand disliking Celine Dion, but this is a pretty serviceable and faithful rendition.

Like the comments said, fine until the chorus, then...yeah. It's not as though her voice can't get any higher either. Instruments are fine though, so it's not a truly wretched cover.

My vote is for Avril Lavinge's Chop Suey! At least on the RR cover I made it to the second verse. Avril's version I could only take 10 seconds before reaching for the close button like I was trying to abort a nuclear missile launch.

Yeah, it's such an awful rendition, it lacked just about everything that made the original great, which basically means that Creed missed the train entirely on that one.


Disturbed's "Land of Confusion"
Bullet for my Suckentine's "Crazy Train"

In Flames does a far worse rendition.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bm4r8oNm-o

I thought Ring of Fire and Mad World were awful.

Pretty much the way I feel about any Lambert cover.

To be honest, anytime GNR covered a song, that song was utter filth. GNR made some of the greatest original music of all time, but they also made the worst covers I have ever heard.

Limp Bizkit's version of Wish You Were Here is worse, since they were trying to plug for 911 they even added extra lyrics to make it more emo.

And, Roger Waters is not dead yet...and probably hates Limp Bizkit more than his former Pink Floyd colleagues.

I liked Mad World, but, then again, I didn't like the original.

Disturbed's "Land of Confusion"

I disagree strongly on "Land of Confusion," yer honor.

I'm not even a Disturbed fan, but I thought their heavier/edgier take was better than the original. Sounds more apropos with pounding guitars than cheesy 80s synth.

Not the worst cover ever but its the most recent cover I have heard and I hate it.

[FlyGuyLXI]

1. It sounds too good for a bubblegum band.

2. Since when do elementary schoolers know about Aces High or let alone, Power Metal. (Referring to the audience, OK? I had no clue what heavy metal was until the 4th (or 3rd, don't remember) grade, and a child-pop band covering a song I wouldn't know was made by Iron Maiden until a couple of years, and I expect the same from everyone else at my age at that time.)

3. It sounds too much like Dickinson.

Not the Jo Bros

I hear them compared to Joy Division a lot, but aside from maybe the vocals, I don't hear it. The guitar isn't de-emphasized, none of their songs are particularly bass-driven, and it's not dark and icy like Joy Division

I doubt that any of them have that kind of vocal range.


1. It sounds too good for a bubblegum band.

2. Since when do elementary schoolers know about Aces High or let alone, Power Metal.

3. It sounds too much like Dickinson.

Not the Jo Bros

Yeah, because Maiden are so underground and obscure.

Now you see, that sounds like something I'd like, and yet...

Yeah, it sounds like it would be awesome, but two things dragged it down to suckage:

1. This was DOtU-era, so Chris couldn't sing live if his life depended on it.
2. They slowed down the tempo so much it lost all of the hard rockin' flavor of the original. And this is coming from someone who adores Soundgarden and loathes the Beatles.

So just because the band's target audience hasn't heard it, the band actually covering the song hasn't heard it either and won't cover it?

LaBrie's 'metal' act, if you've ever watched a DT live DVD, is really a sight to see. A fruity, bright-eyed Canadian guy in his 40's trying to sing like DT is opening for Pantera or something. It's funnay as hell to watch, but it really doesn't always work in the music.

Ugh, I'm so sick of musical ignorance.

For the purposes of my argument, I'll just keep what you said in play. You seem to forget that some people like Masochism. Sure, its in the minority of people, and thats the point. Lets take something you like while we're at it, for example.. uhh.. *looks at username*.. King Crimson? Now there's a fickle band that I'm sure very few people like in comparison to the rest of the entire population of the world.

So one could say that saying you like King Crimson is like saying you like Beastiality, the negativity attached to it is what makes you so ignorant though.
I really don't get why people can't get over themselves and let opinions just be opinions, and respect artists for what they create even if it doesn't appeal to your own tastes...

/random outlash.

Btw, I love both Disturbed and King Crimson. Also, inb4 "cool story bro".

You = Confusing. You're flaming for musical "ignorance" though I don't see it. He never said "You can't have your opinion" did he?

[The_Oreo]

Ok, well maybe I should change it to "musical opinion intolerance" or something. I just though his post was a bit extremist maybe, as opposed to just saying "I don't much care for Disturbed", or not posting at all.

In retrospect though, this is the internet, so these things are kinda expected anyways...

[tridentgum0]

My motto on this forum is "If you're afraid of criticism, don't post." I can't stand Disturbed myself.

[The_Oreo]

Fair enough. I guess I'm criticizing your criticism on my criticizing his criticism anyway.. I think. So its all good. :D

[howieduen]

My motto on this forum is "If you're afraid of criticism, don't post." I can't stand Disturbed myself.

Agreed. I don't like Disturbed either, but I can tolerate a few of their songs.

[howieduen]

A lot of posters were mentioning Johnny Cash covers (Social Distortion covering "Ring of Fire", Adam Lambert covering "Ring of Fire"). Here's one that isn't completely horrible, but a little different. I'm still not sure if I like it or not.


Live - I Walk the Line (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_daJjRrv0A)

[a21schizoidman]

i actually saw Live play their cover of Walk the Line live last year, it was a fun version of the song, and was an enjoyable changeup to the rest of their setlist

[howieduen]

This is probably the worst cover I've ever heard, and quite possibly one of the worst songs of any kind I've ever heard. The original (Counting Crows) is one of my favorite songs, so this version makes me want to punch someone (maybe myself) in the face.

I clicked the video, knowing it would be worse than Lacuna Coil's cover of it, which I thought was plain terrible. Turns out it wasn't a cover of Depeche Mode, but it was in fact a terrible attempt at a comedy sketch. Still bad, but at least not a butchering of a classic.

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

wow. i'm speechless.

[Soja]

All of Cradle of Filth's covers are horrible. It's pretty hard to just pick one.This, but I'm going with Hallowed Be Thy Name simply for the level of blasphemy committed there.

[WhiffleBallTony]

1349's cover of "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun"

God, that made me cringe.

[Ultimatum]

wow. i'm speechless.

Yeah.

Seriously, what the ****?!? WHY LEAVE OUT THE SOLO?!?!?!?!?!?!

Fall Out Boy covering Green Day's Basket Case: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt_NcJtTP_U

As much as I'm loathe to say it, that cover wasn't bad (well, the half I listened to). Fairly straightforward, but nothing offensive.


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)

This, on the other hand, is probably the frontrunner for "Cover that misses the ****ing point entirely" award, along with Hillary Duff's "My Generation".

[ZettaFett]

I'm going to get some heat for saying this, but Atreyu's cover of Faith No More's "Epic". I'm too lazy to search up for a Youtube video, but it is painfully bad.

Didn't Avril Lavigne also cover "Chop Suey!"?

If so... yeah.

[Cubecubed]
