Hi peeps,

Just wanted to know if you ALSO HATE IT

see i've just heard a hip-hop remix of Under the Bridge (originally Red Hot Chili Peppers)

How can a HIP HOP CHICK DARE to cover one of the GREATEST SONGS EVER?

what do you think? is it ok with you or do you hate it also?

Covers are crap

Yay! Fellow! Mate!

I'll agree, in some ways, it depends who covers a great and classic song, but when someone from a different genre of music trys to covers someone from another different genre of music, it is bowned to suck.

True, most cover versions suck

Except for Behind Blue Eyes
The original version is ...

I so agree Exa

nice av...sorry

Well...that's true

who did the cover of that again?

who korri?

Its Limp Bizkit, covered from The Who

Limb Bizcut sucks.

same here



PS: are you ABE LINCOLN?

a lot of covers are crap, yeah, but some ain't as bad as others. i really liked the girls aloud cover version of 'Jump'. i don't expcet a lot of you will appreciate that though..

some covers are good but most r crap

I disagree with Exa in saying that the original version of "Behind Blue Eyes" was crap. The Limp Bizkit version was REALLY crap

Good covers:

Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal (overplayed tho)
Tool - No Quarter
Spineshank - As My Guitar Gently Weeps
Orgy - Blue Monday

there's many more, i can't be bothered to think of em, but you get the point. good cover versions do exist, its not all limp bizkit and marilyn manson.

Who originally does "As My Guitar Gently Weeps"?

Btw: I covers can be pretty cool but a hip-hop version of "Under the Bridge"

most cover versions are crap
but I agree with Deathblow on Orgy's blue monday that was really good
also good covers are:
sweetdreams - manson
tainted love - manson
big in japan - guano apes (not sure if you all know this one)

I usually dont like cover version, but I must say that Jeff Buckleys version of Leonard Cohens "Hallelujah" is awesome

The Beatles

And at the risk of being crucified by The Beatles fans here, I actually like the Spineshank version more.

lol

yeah okay but

those where they take over the old song and then a rapper comes
"Yo ho mother****er, ****ing shit you all sux!" and then a new bass and beat, and we got a new song!

i hate that!



ahh...

metallica - whiskey in the jar
that rocks also

I liked the Limp Bizkit version but the original wasn't crap.

the limp bizkit version is awful. Fred Durst's voice isn't made to sing--at all.

And not knowing who did As My Guitar Gently Weeps...that's arguably the Beatles BEST song. Written by a Mr George Harrison, not the Lennon/McCartney duo.

Cake's version of I Will Survive is actually better than the original.
I forgot who did the great version of "Burning Ring of Fire", but it was great (though it did not equal Cash's version)
Gah, i can't remember all the great covers...

cover versions can be crap as all the covering band does is just play the song as if they were the real band.

however, some cover versions are much better than the orginal, and bring great music to a new generation.

Good Covers are:
Can't Stand - Feeder (of a Police track)
Just don't know what to do - White Stripes (the best video as well to go with it)
Kyle Cooks cover of a beetles song on 'live in Australia'

EB- Not sure if its the one you are thinking of or not, but Social Distortion did a good version of Ring of Fire.

i love the less than jake version of surrender
and the simple plan version of happy together

it depends..
sometimes cover versions are de hell better than the original..
but usually they suck

blasphemy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Limps version is utterly CRAP

i dont see whats wrong with em!!!

Covers are not always bad
For example Placebos Running Up That Hill is not a bad cover.

But then again covers can suck sooooooo bad!!!
For example No Doubts It's My Life
They raped a good song!!
