Randy Watson 101 Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 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' WillingAs for the version with Steve Vai? rb7magnetico (3 months ago) '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 ConfusionOr: ?

Graham Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 I detest Mark Ronson's cover of Stop Me by the Smiths. One of my favourite Smiths songs ruined by Ronson's trumpet rape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeno Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 "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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaki Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Hahaha, me neither.HahahahahaEDIT: Excruciating. Is that Graveworm's thang? Random pop rock songs in a hideous metal style? I think if you're going to do a cover then it should be something that could mean something to you and that the lyrics could be genuine. Do they really need a hero? They're not selling it to me. On a similar metal band does pop song theme, I give you: YouTube - Helloween - Lay All Your Love On MeI actually own this album of abominable covers by Helloween. It was funny once. They murder this: YouTube - Helloween - All My LovingI also found this: I think I quite like it actually..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
