February 22, 200719 yr I have come across a lot of really bad covers of a song that just kill the song. I recently saw one which made me so angry I made this topic For me its probably the cover of Seasons in the sun by Nirvana This is the original version-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkSJxJL4ldE This is the version Nirvana did-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO4BF67pvsc If you ask me its some emo idiot singing in monotone with a bass player who doesnt know how to correctly play bass 485th person to ever play RuneScapeBlue107- perm banned 10/12/2007. $300 USD reward if you can get me in contact with someone who will take 5 seconds to look at evidence and get my original character unbanned.
February 22, 200719 yr Jeff Buckley - Halleluja (great cover of the Cohen song) Guns 'n Roses - Knockin on Heaven's Door (Not a bad song pers̮̩̉̉, but I just can't stand it, sorry) Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!
February 22, 200719 yr Author Jeff Buckley - Halleluja (great cover of the Cohen song) Guns 'n Roses - Knockin on Heaven's Door (Not a bad song pers̮̩̉̉, but I just can't stand it, sorry) I agree, I hate it when people credit it to GnR. Most people dont know that Bob Dylan is the mastermind behind many of our favorite songs 485th person to ever play RuneScapeBlue107- perm banned 10/12/2007. $300 USD reward if you can get me in contact with someone who will take 5 seconds to look at evidence and get my original character unbanned.
February 23, 200719 yr Good covers would be: Green Day - I Fought The Law Coheed & Cambria - The Trooper I don't really listen to covers :oops: Mugutu
February 23, 200719 yr My best has to be Israel Kamakawiwo'ole: Over the Rainbow/Wonderful World It's so beautiful. It sets me in peace every time I hear it. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.
February 23, 200719 yr The Placebo cover of running up that hill (originally from kate bush). And their cover of where is my mind isn't bad either, most people don't know it's actually from the Pixies. Nirvana also have a lot of great covers: The Man Who Sold the World (David Bowie), Plateau (Meat Puppets), Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam...

February 23, 200719 yr Best: This looks really good to me, it's a picture you don't forget. I miss Mobb Deep, from back when they were good (Thanks a lot, G-Unit :x ) Worst: There's nothing there but a leaf in lower corner :shock:! This is still one my favorite albums none-the-less though, but I expected something really cool and memorable from a legend like Dre :( ....

February 23, 200719 yr Best - either Jeff Buckley's Halleijuah or Gary Jule's Mad World worst - Girls Aloud vs. Sugababes - walk this way Back by popular demand!And I guess I just wanted to tell you, as the light starts to fade, that you aree the reason, that I am not afraid, and I guess I just wanted to mention, as the heavens will fall, that we will be together soon if we will be anything at all.
February 23, 200719 yr Girls Aloud - Walk This Way (originally by Aerosmith and Run DMC).... bring back the death penalty! lol ;)
February 23, 200719 yr I quite like some of the covers that muse did. 'House of the Rising Sun' and 'Can't take my eyes of you'. Thanks Venomai for this super sig and Kwimbob for the awesome avatar!
February 23, 200719 yr Girls Aloud - Walk This Way (originally by Aerosmith and Run DMC).... bring back the death penalty! lol ;) actually orignally by just aerosmith, DMC vs.'d it. although i concur on the death penalty for the violation f the song Back by popular demand!And I guess I just wanted to tell you, as the light starts to fade, that you aree the reason, that I am not afraid, and I guess I just wanted to mention, as the heavens will fall, that we will be together soon if we will be anything at all.
February 23, 200719 yr Running up the Hill. Original by Kate Bush and the Within Temptation cover. Probably the last good song Within Temptation produced :( My Tip.It Times Articles (10 and counting) || The Varrock Library Author Index projectDo you dare to dream? - Part 19 added. || The Hospital (WIP) - New story!Necromagus looks like a viking ... with glasses.
February 23, 200719 yr I actually really like the Artic Monkeys cover of "Love Machine" by Girls Aloud. Especially as they start wetting themselves half way through. Similarly, Travis doing Hit Me Baby One More Time was great. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.

This is still one my favorite albums none-the-less though, but I expected something really cool and memorable from a legend like Dre :( .... Lol, cover of a song not album cover. And lol at your choices anyway. Umm Atomic Kitten did some awful, awful covers I can't for the life of me remember what songs they were. I heard some cover of Faith by George Michael, I think by Limp Bizkit? Not too sure... But yeah I don't really appreciate people screaming on songs. Must be some more I can think of... SHH HUT YUH MUH. DERKHED.
February 23, 200719 yr In the past I've been really into cover songs (especially punk versions of 80's songs). Here's my best and worst: Good (way better than the originals): Christine 16 - All Let's Get this Party Started - Stretch Arm strong Gin 'n Juice - NOFX Just Like Heaven - Goldfinger Bad (mostly cuz the originals are horrible too): Ice Ice Baby - New Found Glory? Enter Sandman - Mighty Mighty Bosstones? Hit me Baby One More Time - ?

Just realized it #-o , lol. Once again the stereotype of an RS player has been honoured. And what its that supposed to mean exactly, Oy? :|
February 23, 200719 yr Jeff Buckley's cover of "Hallelujah" is great indeed. I also think Zakk Wylde's cover of "Stairway to Heaven" is good, as well as Judas Priest's "Johnny B. Goode"... and... those are the only ones I can think of atm. Some thoroughly bad ones I can think of right now would be Scissor Sister's "Comfortably Numb" cover and Cradle Of Filth's "Fear Of The Dark". God they suck.
February 23, 200719 yr best i reckon is jimi hendrix's all along the watchtower (originally by bob dylan). worst, um might have to go with harrignton with walk this way by girls aloud. probably worse ones than that out there but i can't think of 'em at the moment.
February 24, 200719 yr Once again the stereotype of an RS player has been honoured. And what its that supposed to mean exactly, Oy? :| I think he meant that the typical RS player isn't too bright. Although I'm not really sure, it was kind of cryptic, you know. Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!
February 24, 200719 yr All Along The Watchtower by Hendrix is a classic and Buckley's Hallelujah is just so heart wrenching for me. To add to those, Fields of Gold by Eva Cassidy is a favourite of mine. Ryan Adams did a very good cover of Wonderwall by Oasis that Noel Gallagher used live a few times. The spanish guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela did a pretty good Stairway To Heaven cover, it reflected the song very well whilst still being suitably original. I also quite like the White Stripes' version of I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself. "Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo"

Although I'm not really sure, it was kind of cryptic, you know. I hope that's wrong, because all I did was make a mistake. One mistake doesn't determine someone's intelligence. :?
