Find the worst, lamest or just plain bad covers of songs you like.

Here's an instrumental, I'm sure there's a worse one out there but for now it'll do.

That Was Yesterday - Instrumental Cover

For an 8 bit cover, this actually sounds pretty good.

This is one of my favorite Journey songs, butchered.

Escape by a Brazilian band called Arrival.

That IS the worst cover. Journey goes Backstreet Boys

Damn, and I thought Mariah ruined it already.

Mariah Carey - Open Arms

Here's a doozy - Clay Aiken & Kelly Clarkson

My ears can't take much more of this.

I think Mariah Carrey has a great voice. She could do that song justice if she would just leave out the stupid runs and hip hop styling.

Those are actually pretty good. Don't let Neal see those.

That motherfucker is tone deaf.

Jukebox Hero on Rockband

UGH I can't believe I paid $2 for that shit.

How about:

Sugar Ray "Is She Really Going Out With Him"
Sixpence none the Richer "Don't Dream it's Over"

These versions are considered core curriculum in "How to take a perfectly good song and turn it into complete shit" 101.

Holy shit! I just ran across this pile of crap..."That was Yesterday" by the worst band in Chile! I hope they at least paid the crowd to attend this festival of music butchering!!!

Freddie's not immune to the butchering. The lead guitar part is ok though.

Singer doesn't change his tone from song to song.

She could do more justice if she sang it it while sitting on my shaft

Too funny.

I suppose if my answer to the thread title is "Revelation disc 2", a bunch of you are gonna get twisted knickers.

Ooops. I said it anyway.

Game. Set. Match.

I haven't heard the album but I did hear his covers live, and I quite enjoyed them. Granted, just like Revelation, the album might be a different story but I'll withhold comment until I hear it.

Why would you torture yourselves so! My ear just exploded!

I don't consider it a cover, but it is weak. I like OTY and a couple of other songs on it, but overall, it wasn't done well at all. It was rushed and under-produced. A pretty sad effort. A lesser effort than Generations even.

I submit that there is no worse song remake than Pat Boone singing "Stairway to Heaven"

You should hear him sing "Smoke on the water" Sends me into hysterics!

This one's pretty bad... it's a cover of Sabbath's "Paranoid" by a band called "Ultraviolence"... it was on Earache's tribute to Black Sabbath... the album was called "Masters Of Misery", which had its ups and downs... but in my opnion, was mostly a good tribute album... much better than either of the Nativity In Black tribute albums, save for a few tracks on those.

I admit the band left something to be desired at times, but I dug the album.

Havent read the thread, has any one mentioned that dopey muppet Mariah Carey and her cover of Open Arms???
