SYRFox 07.01.2008 02:02 PM

Maybe the worst cover ever

I'm a massive Tori Amos fan, but her cover of Heart Of Gold was an abortion

Oh my god, that was fucking horrible. I feel like digging out my eardrums with a scalpel now.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 07.01.2008 02:09 PM

This is just fucking hilarious. Some guy doing Aerosmith

The Delgados did a cover that was very nearly better than the ELO version. Not on youtube, sadly.

The Aerosmith thing actually made me sad. Poor guy. I hope the breakup isn't too hard on him.

Tokolosh 07.01.2008 02:34 PM

By making himself look like the total idiot for the world to see, won't make her come back. Atrocious.

atsonicpark 07.01.2008 03:04 PM

that fly leaf cover is embarassing in every way imaginable.

Brilliant. Moreso because he's clearly as sweet as a sugar factory.

hahaha

Derek 07.01.2008 04:08 PM

Flyleaf are a funny joke.

No one told them that nu-metal died 5 years ago.

Rob Instigator 07.01.2008 04:19 PM

i don;t know, the fly leaf cover is not so shitty as her tortured emoting.

it still sucks though

Derek 07.01.2008 04:23 PM

Haven't people realised that directly covering Smells Like Teen Spirit is an automatic fail?

I mean, Patti Smith's version is great because she completely changed the sound of the sound. Flyleaf are just covering it precisely, distorted electric guitars and all.

Crumb's Crunchy Delights 07.01.2008 05:01 PM

aerosmith covered that beastie boys song and it was sh*t

terriblecanyons 07.01.2008 05:03 PM

Best cover ever.

Really, a good cover of a horrible song.

MellySingsDoom 07.01.2008 05:05 PM

Quite easily one of the worst/funniest cover versions ever:

Haha, lol at the headbanging and shit.

Dr. Eugene Felikson 07.01.2008 05:34 PM

I not-so-proudly present the worst cover that I have ever had the displeasure of hearing...

Avril Lavigne - Chop Suey

http://youtube.com/watch?v=twvdypF4pUg

The original is not a great song by any means...but there's no way in hell it deserves this treatment.

And here's a fun one...

Snoop Dogg - Sad But True
