Whats your worst?

[wbks]

Is there some virus going around the states that makes bands forget to stay away from historical rock songs? Or blatant song rip off's which also slaughter the song? Kid rocks latest one fits this bill

[LardEmbargo]

hmm, I'll see your Comfortably Numb covered by the Scissor Sisters, and raise you...

Light My Fire, covered by Massive Attack FFS. Almost worth doing a double van Gogh and cutting both your ears off

[Bren]

Maybe not a cover, but the song by Kid Rock grates me...that one that ruins Lynyrd Skynyrds "Sweet Home Alabama"

[Mully]

I'm sorry. I am so sorry.

Especially for the air guitar and the leg-guitar.

I had to share.....

EDIT: oh. and Hitcher. You're a sick, sick man. I am still laughing at both of those.

madonnas american pie is fucking awful.

[Karl08]

B. Spears covered "I love Rock n Roll" by Joan Jett and the Blackharts. ( I use covered in the loosest possible sense.

Stairway to Heaven- Rolf Harris

[Nagash]

As mentioned above.. evidence of Rolf Harris covering Stairway to Heaven. Bloody awful.

That bloody aweful cover of Bryan Adams' "Heaven" deserves a mention in this thread as well

[Dave Lobster]

Rolf Harris - Stairway to Heaven . They took a classic song took out all the songs diginity and shoved it down the toilet :sick:

[nudemetalz]

and what about this one.....

The Hoff sings Love Me Tender..... :argh: :puke:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nywtB5kr52M

[warewolf]

madonnas american pie is fucking awful.Madonna's Vogue is a fucking awful rip-off of Malcolm McLaren's Deep in Vogue. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a cover, as I'm sure the lawyers would be quick to point out, especially as it was only released 18 months later.

Never mind the Scissor Sisters, there's a reggae band doing covers of Floyd etc that is mostly cringeworthy. (Dread Zeppelin?)

[Blossom]

people..I raise you all a crap sound man and a tone deaf band and give you

Man alive, I'm in tears here. And I've run out of bling!

Still can't believe what they did to Comfortably numb!

[JMemonic]

After wandering into this thread and progressing through the respective post I feel the need to head to my Doctors as it appears my ears are bleeding, I cant hear much either.

My god some folks just don't know when to quit do they, I wonder what goes through their heads, is it, they get told no you cant sing, so they decide they need a bigger audience, and it grows from there till they get themselves on youtube for the whole world to repeat they cant sing.

They are either driven and determined or stubborn and sh^t headed, more the latter I think.

There's hope for us all eh - I'm gonna start a band. I can't play any instruments or sing but I don't see that that should be an issue eh?

Well I dont see how it can be given some of the umm dubious covers seen here, perhaps at least take oh say 2 lessons in how to play your instrument of choice and then you are off to a better start or perhaps you could just

:blink:

:rofl: No need for me to look further. You are right and that is a shocker!
It sounded more like the Bee Gee's "Staying Alive" than Comfortably Numb!

[GrayWolf]

I'm afraid I cannot remember who the artists were but I'll raise you all, with.......

There was a 'Disco' version/cover of the Moody Blues classic 'Nights in White Satin'.......



And What about MnM's use of Aerosmith soundtracks???
Hayseed Dixie???
The Disco version of the Bowie track, Knock on Wood, by Ami Stewart?
And of course the man himselfs (Bowie) Disco version of John I'm only Dancing?

Do I need to go on?? :shutup:

[GrayWolf]

Giorgio Moroder,
it's described as sounding like cheap porno soundtrack music with Moroder moaning and groaning in the intro.........

[Gubb]

I see your Scissor Sisters, and raise you Slayer.

Rolf Harris - Stairway to Heaven . They took a classic song took out all the songs dignity and shoved it down the toilet :sick:

Rolf did a whole album of rock and roll favourites a few years ago. A friend has the CD and we listened to a couple on Saturday night (as you do). My anti-favourite was "Can't Get No Satisfaction". Dire!

[short-circuit]

people..I raise you all a crap sound man and a tone deaf band and give you

I'm with you on this one. Absolutely abominable.

So bad it's good - added to my favourites

Yes indeed, a beauty to behold.

I am off now to clear my head from all this terrible stuff.

Go WING! :dodge:

[pzkpfw]

Anyone here like Dread Zeppelin?

I think they're great... (really...)

What's not to like about an Elvis impersonator in a Reggae style doing Zeppelin covers?

Maybe not a cover, but the song by Kid Rock grates me...that one that ruins Lynyrd Skynyrds "Sweet Home Alabama"




Ahem. Warren Zevons' Werewolves of London.

It's actually both of those songs combined into one awful clonglomeration tm of Kid Rock telling us how great his pubecsent years were.:yawn:

Fuck, it's bad.

That lead singer(screecher) guy looks remarkedly similar to a well known Kber, any guesses?

Oh yeah and it was fuckin disturbing , like many of the other contestents.

[Maha]

Singing 'My Way'....the famous end of song pistol shooting.
Some would say this is a classic though.

that dirty thieving N:sick::angry::2guns:

[The Pastor]

idiot. that song is scum.:argh::angry2::bash:
why is it scum? kid rock actually knows/ knew johnny/ronnie....

hes a ledgend in his own right, and he mixed two awesome songs together flawlessly - two songs that are hard to do.

I'd go on to insult your music taste, but you already did that for me when you started wanking on about some half doller negro.

[The Pastor]

for all you haters

On September 10, 2005 Lynyrd Skynyrd performed without Johnny Van Zant at the Music Relief Concert for the victims of Hurricane Katrina, with Kid Rock standing in for Johnny. In December of 2005, Johnny Van Zant returned to sing for Lynyrd Skynyrd.

from wiki

So who else is better to cover/mix a song that someone the band likes enough to stand in for them when the lead singer couldnt.

[pixc]

As covers go. I like it.
