Worst cover version

#

Started by allroy in Other Bands & Artists

‘Inspired’ by the recent mutilations of Personal Jesus by Marilyn Manson and Celebrate Youth by H-Blockx, I’d like to know who you think should rot in hell for killing a good tune.
And no answers like Groove Coverage or other euro trash dance projects ‘coz this is too obvious. Name bands that you might like (like manson)
At the moment I hate Eskobar’s Dreams Are my Reality (yep, that schmoozer from La Boum). One of my all time lows is Papa Roach’s version of Gouge Away and Bowie’s go at Cactus, both original Pixies songs.

Any song which has been punk/ska’d up but was not originally a punk/ska song. The Hippos version of So Lonely by the Police was a disgrace..

…But I have to admit Less Than Jake’s versions of Slayer’s ‘Evil Has No Boundries’ and ‘Anti-Christ’ were actually pretty interesting.

And every American high school garage band circa 1990-1993 which covered For Whom the Bells Toll and couldn’t even attempt the short lead riffs…ruined more than one party for me. Every weekend there’d be a different band at a different place destroying what is actually a pretty simple song…AAGGHH!

You’ve just reminded me, that cover of chop suey by system of a down she did at a gig, the link is somewhere on here. Absolutely dire!

I am willing to bet hard cash that their version was better than the original, not that I support anyone who thinks making royalty payments to The Smiths is a good idea. :p

I’m aware that most of you don’t know what I’m talking about, but I still have to say - The old Finnish classics turned into techno/rave inferno. For those of you who aren’t Finnish, imagine Frank Sinatra with littlefishbigfish-backgrounds… Oh dear…

I second that! How about comfortably numb by the scissor sisters? Extra points for being forced to hear it at least 100 times a day for months

Paranoid by Type O negative. That was awful, but admittedly not as bad as siscor sisters. I recorded a death metal version of the music from the flake adverts the other day. I don’t know what I was on…
