Super25Smasher Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 You know how there's a thread for great covers? Here's the opposite! Want a good laugh, or feeling masochistic? Listen to this shit! 1

Listen to this shit!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZsZGUBTGpE I think that cover is wonderful. I love her voice on that song, especially towards the end!
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 I like Living Colour but this is a tough song to try and remake. 1
Turbine Freight Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 I like Living Colour but this is a tough song to try and remake. They also murdered Back In Black. 1
librarian Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) Tiffany's bad attempt at I Saw Her Standing There makes me want to redecorate my shoes... Edited January 23, 2016 by librarian 5
librarian Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Limp Bizkit's Behind Blue Eyes makes me angry. How could you, Fred? How could you... 3
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Tiffany's bad attempt at I Saw Her Standing There makes me want to redecorate my shoes... ...with your own vomit? Sounds about right. 2

I didn't know they covered that one. Just checked it out. Well, not entirely...I stopped it at :33 and now I need a drink. Awful. And it's not like the original sounds dated now and was crying out for a remake. 2
HemiBeers Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 I like Living Colour but this is a tough song to try and remake. http://youtu.be/RKUy4_l1CB4well that's better than this version. 1
Rod in Toronto Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Queensryche has a covers album called Take Cover, which is full of wrong choices... 2
Super25Smasher Posted January 23, 2016 Author Posted January 23, 2016 Queensryche has a covers album called Take Cover, which is full of wrong choices...It was okay, but they could've chosen better songs.
custom55 Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Not a fan... Frampton's Jumpin' Jack Flash http://youtu.be/sKE-rJ49Dls 3
toymaker Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 This cover of Fly By Night is a bit painful https://ents-music.bandcamp.com/track/fly-by-night 2
Turbine Freight Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Megadeth's covers of Anarchy, I Ain't Superstitious & These Boots are dreadful. And I love Megadeth.
Mr. Not Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 This cover of Fly By Night is a bit painful https://ents-music.b...ck/fly-by-night The Instrumentation was ace though
Mr. Not Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Another case of liking the band but not a cover song of theirs:
MusicHead Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 This cover of Fly By Night is a bit painful https://ents-music.b...ck/fly-by-night I didn't take it that way. He's almost singing in Geddy's register. I've heard many worse covers.
MusicHead Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 I went through all my GP music (roughly 20K songs) and couldn't find a single clunker of a cover. It goes without saying that, since I'm a Rush fan, I have preeminent taste in music. :) 2

Ancient Ways Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 This cover of Fly By Night is a bit painful https://ents-music.bandcamp.com/track/fly-by-nightI didn't mind that. I did think it was interesting to tone down the music from the original but keep the vocals basically in tact. Not sure why they changed some of the lyrics. The different guitar solo works. Definitely not terrible.

This is his rig from back in the day. Very impressive looking. But none of that gear helps give him a good tone -- in fact, the combination of all that stuff probably acts as a tone suck. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v318/1001001/Guitars/vreid_racks.jpg 2
ALifeson85 Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) Not a cover by a "professional" band by any means...but check out this cover of "Comfortably Numb". These guys must have just heard the song once, bought instruments, and thought "We got this..." [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] Edited January 24, 2016 by ALifeson85 3
Entre_Perpetuo Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Smashing Pumpkins (essentially just Billy Corgan in this song) cover of Landslide (yeah, that Landslide). It's dreadful. Also most of the songs played at the John Lennon 75th birthday concert (totally just a thing Yoko did to be in the spotlight or something of that nature) were done pretty poorly. Willie Nelson looked like he didn't even know what he was doing on stage, let alone attempting to sing Imagine. 1
RUSHHEAD666 Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 ummm. http://youtu.be/T1noJeA7D9U That's hilarious. I thought this thread was going be about awful album covers! 2
