Default Shit Versions Of Good Songs, Or Good Versions Of Shit Songs
Shit version of a good song:

YouTube - Whitesnake - Fool For Your Loving (HD)

*Coverdale looks like Alice Cooper but blonde!*

That version sucks all the feel out of it - too much chugging guitar; the bass had soul (some funk too!) and the guitars had subtly in the original:

YouTube - whitesnake - Fool For Your Loving - Ready An' Willing

As for the version with Steve Vai?

YouTube - WHITESNAKE-STEVE VAI-FOOL FOR YOU LOVING NO MORE

'The 'Ready An' Willing' was a way better version 'cause it was raw; not LA glam shit Coverdale did later'.

I agree.

Can you think of any other songs that have shit or perhaps, in some cases, even BETTER versions whether original studio, live or cover or remix etc? How about In Flames's cover of Genesis's 'Land Of Confusion' as an example of a good version of a shit song?

YouTube - In Flames - Land of Confusion

I detest Mark Ronson's cover of Stop Me by the Smiths. One of my favourite Smiths songs ruined by Ronson's trumpet rape.

I like Braid, but their cover of This Charming Man is quite gash.



For the most part, I can't stand covers. I hate fun.

I could fill an entire thread with crappy metal covers of good songs Off the top of my head worst I can think of in terms of butchering a classic is Losing My Religion covered by Graveworm. Just no.
YouTube - Graveworm - Losing My Religion

"I'm Not In Love" (the 10cc 'classic') as covered by Fun Lovin' Criminals is remarkably good, considering it's a combination of 10cc and the Fun Lovin' Criminals.
