Bad Covers (none by Incubus!!)
In response to the Bjork post, here's what I consider awful covers and the offending artist:
Imagine- A Perfect Circle
American Pie- Madonna
Whiskey in a Jar- Metallica
Turn the Page- Metallica
Tuesday's Gone- Metallica
Behind Blue Eyes- Limp Bizkit
Sweet Child O' Mine- Sheryl Crow
Chop Suey- Avril Lavigne (the 1st rule of covering a song, is to know the lyrics)
Another Brick in the Wall- Korn
(I can't get no) Satisfaction- Britney Spears
You Shook me all night long- Celine Dion
My Generation- Hilary Duff
Let me know what you think?

Trent Reznor has an amazing voice. It's all dark and sexy.

"insecurities are about as useful as trying to put the pin back in the grenade"
American Idol is full of bad covers. I always try to place current stars on that show. How much would BB own if he went on that show before he was famous?

Picture the scene where whatever you thought, would in the blink of an eye,
manifest and become illustrated.
The same thing happens with "Waiting Room" by Fugazi. The only ones I saw who did a decent job was Billy Talent, hate them all you want, but they brought something new to to the song while still keeping it generally the same.
Its a hard balance.

Everyone thinks Song 2 by Blur is so easy to cover and everyone ALWAYS slaughters it. I am still trying to figure out how MyChem got on the cover of Metal Hammer. :|
I laughed at the "Song 2" by Blur cover the most man....
Seriously?!?!?! You think you're heavy metal?!?!
What the hell.

MCR's cover of Jack The Ripper is ridiculously terrible. Mind you, it was years ago but still. It's just screaming and totally horrific. Their Astro Zombies cover was kinda fun, not the worst but nothing very impressive either. They are nooooo Misfits, that for sure.
I think I might puke from the general horrid-ness of this thread.... its quite depressing.
I looked up youtube vids of MCR covers a while ago, and was forced to negatively comment on every vid I saw.
Look it up. They are hilarious!!!!!

His voice doesn't fit well with that song.

I think one of the worst ones I have ever heard was Panic! At The Disco's cover of "Tonight, Tonight" - Smashing Pumpkins. They seriously killed one of the most beautiful songs ever.
we heard this version of
Sound Gardens:Black Hole Sun
on the radio last week. I about shat meself
Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme

"You'd feel better if you'd vent
Put your frustrations into four letter words"
call me weird

but I've heard worse
he was a flamer though
not that there's anything
wrong with that
-
this topic is great.. there's so many covers that really ruin the original.. but i can't remember right now even a single song.
--
" like a waking limb, pins and needles, nice to know you "
Yeah, like he gets laid!!!
--
"You'd feel better if you'd vent

hahahaha, Jeffrodisiac!!!!!!!!!!!

"Floating in this cosmic jacuzzi,
we are like frogs oblivious,
to the water starting to boil,
no one flinches, we all float face down."
I warned you.....twas frightening.....
I truly never thought I would have to listen to and watch a gay man sing Incubus.
--
"You'd feel better if you'd vent
Put your frustrations into four letter words"
yes he did
here's another very bad cover of incubus that I found on that same page....
Warning: If you can't stomach incubus songs being totally done in a very wrong way, DO NOT watch this

Did he seriously call them incabus?

"You'd feel better if you'd vent

"Floating in this cosmic jacuzzi,

to the water starting to boil,
no one flinches, we all float face down."
I've watched the video
I think that this kind of people don't have shyness and don't mind what other people think about them, and try to make a funny time making this videos, but I don't find them funny
Sorry, but it's my opinion
--
Remember: 'cos without incubus I won't survive!!
A kiss to send us off!! (^_^)
OMG

I don't know why we haven't posted
bad covers that people do of Incubus

"So f*ck yourself and f*ck this bleeding heart of mine"
this is bad The Odyssey does(who ever that is) The Allman Brothers-Midnight Rider

Karaoke anyone

Then I suppose we will agree to disagree. He should not have covered Imagine.
--
"So f*ck yourself and f*ck this bleeding heart of mine"
I like the Imagine cover by A Perfect Circle. They turned a peace song into something about the AntiChrist.
Most bands that have done Black Sabbath covers have been pretty weak. Same with the Ramones. It seems like artists always attempt songs that they know nothing about.
Yeah I know that's why I brought this thread back.
--
"So f*ck yourself and f*ck this bleeding heart of mine"
LOL

I never tire of laughing at that one.
Kill Avril for killin it
dala la la la la la

Since the good cover thread is back, I decided to bring this one back to life as well. Plus I really love the Avril Lavigne video
Avril killing Chop Suey- http://youtube.com/watch?v=MMYmG6drFsY&feature=related

"So f*ck yourself and f*ck this bleeding heart of mine"
any cover by britney spears is ca ca, pure poop.....

--
anyone heard the "bring you to your knees" guns and roses hardcore tribute album?! it's got covers by bands like the vaux, most precious blood and every time i die? most guns fans don't like it but i think it's cool. but i don't really like guns and roses anyways..
--
GET HIGH THE GREEN WAY!
Oh, thank you rainbowswirl.
So I guess I don't have to worry about which Satisfaction song it was. xD
--


T Rez is my other lover. He's covered a few things, none of them sucking at all
--
"If only the lights would dim a little, I'm weary of eyes upon my scars"
"Without love I won't survive"
Just b/c other people are going to cover Metallica songs does not give Metallica the right to screw up other people's songs.
Satisfaction is by the Rolling Stones.
--
"I know that I sound opinionated, maybe biased and quite possibly jaded."
And who made the original Satisfaction song?
If it was Satisfaction by Benny Benassi... I am so totally sueing that b****, Britney.
