Bad cover songs

Discipline - 3-29-2006 at 06:50 PM

I really hate when bands kill really good songs by covering them.

I was listening to the newest Fear Factory (some of you may not dig them but I do) and they cover a Killing Joke song I happen to like and it sounded like complete shit. They totally wrecked it. Don't bands listen to this shit before they release it?

they did that to the song CARS too.

they did a good cover of AF's "Your Mistake" with guest vocals from Freddy Madball

That one was fucking amazing. But this Killing Joke cover just sucked. So did Cars.

BFB doing th cover of Ace of Spades, just may be one of the best covers ever.

Shattered Realm doing Creeping Death, not so much.

BFB doing Ace of Spades was insanely good. I've heard soooooo many horrible versions of that song but BFB did it right.

B4B was supposed to do a cover of Here To Stay or somethin from Sheer Terror. I saw it somewhere on one of those white trash rob sites that was up for a while. around the time serenity was being recorded.
i think theu woulda been able to do it justice

punk rock jukebox volumes 1 and 2 from blackout records each have allot of pretty good covers on them...

I really like the cover of "Loverman" on the 2 disc set, Revisited I think it was called.

stateofdisgrace - 3-25-2007 at 10:34 PM

Fahrenheit 451 does a good cover of "No Class"

joemaconmovies - 3-25-2007 at 10:53 PM
