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 IS the worst cover. Journey goes Backstreet Boys :shock:

Damn, and I thought Mariah ruined it already.

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.

Jukebox Hero on Rockband

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

by **livin2do** » Mon Nov 03, 2008 11:44 pm

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! :shock:

I hope they at least paid the crowd to attend this festival of music butchering!!! :shock:

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

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. :!:

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.

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.

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.
